Although having seen all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women from different countries in his previous life, when he first saw Zeng Shaoqing, Ling Jingxuan still couldn’t feeling stunned. It lasted quite a few seconds, which one could tell how beautiful Zeng Shaoqing was. Compared with Chu Ci whose beauty surprised him, he looked even prettier, not, to be more exact, they were of different kind. Chu Ci’s beauty was cold and arrogant, which would keep someone a thousand li away. While this man before his eyes, his beauty was that kind of stunning feeling, so enchanting, and so seductive.
At the same time, during the few seconds he froze there, Zeng Shaoqing who was leaning on the couch also cast a quick glance at him. Strictly speaking, Ling Jingxuan was not that kind of first-sight looker, but his facial features were quite exquisite, that pair of long and thin phoenix eyes should be seducing, but they looked so sagacious and mysterious on his face. Once someone looked into his eyes, one would feel like being captured. Plus, the good food recently and the nutrition of the water from the Spring, his skin was so smooth and fair, which added more gracefulness and elegance to him, but…
What surprised Zeng Shaoqing most was his temperament, his not so tall figure made him look kind of slim, but the moment he appeared in the box, his momentum didn’t lose to anyone, including him, but even kind of above him. How could a farmer have such kind of imposing manner?
To this end, Zeng Shaoqing showed more interest under his eyes, clearly Ling Jingxuan was to his liking.
“Lord Liu, this is Childe Ling Ling Jingxuan.”
Seeing that both of them gave each other a fox-like smile, Shopkeeper Zhang couldn’t help sighing in the heart. At first, he thought Ling Jingxuan would have performance anxiety, after all Lord Liu was the real imperial family member, the cousin of the present emperor, son of the number duke. Even if he just sat there without moving a bit, others might feel scared in the heart, but…he acted as normal, like he completely had no idea of the other side’s background, but only took him as a common person.
“Brother Ling, Lord Liu is the owner of Xinyuan Restaurant.”
No matter how much surprised and helpless he felt in the heart, Shopkeeper Zhang still did his job and introduced them to each other.
Zeng Shaoqing slowly stood up from the couch, walked to Ling Jingxuan elegantly step by step. About less than half a meter place, he stopped, then held out a hand to hook his chin, “What a nice childe! I guess you still under twenty, right? You are not even scared on seeing me. I like it.”
“If you don’t want your hands to get rotton, you better behave!”
Without brushing off his hand or taking a step back, Ling Jingxuan slightly moved his body, with that pair of calm eyes coldly looking at him, with a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, but there was no smiling feeling in that pair of eyes at all, or you could say his eyes were freezing cold. Zeng Shaoqing who tried to molest him was stunned. Before he could react what he was indicating, the back of that hand started to feel extremely itchy. With a faint glance, he noticed that his delicate skin on the back of his hand already got reddened, with dense rashes on it. His eyes instantly darkened. He slowly took back his hand, turned to walk beside the table. The woman in green waiting on soon got a basin of cold water, knelt down to rinse it for him carefully.
“My lord, our detoxification powder is useless.”
After a moment, the woman looked up at him. She had already added the detoxification powder exclusive to the imperial palace in the water. Usual poison would be detoxified after washing with water. But the back of Zeng Shaoqing’s hand was still swollen like a pig hoof, and it looked like more and more serious.
“Hehe…never thought you even know about poison, and play it well, the poison you made is very special.”
Looking down at his own swollen hand, Zeng Shapqing looked over at Ling Jingxuan who didn’t show any trace of giving him the antidote. He really looked down on him.
“My lord, I’m so flattered, this is the antidote. Mix it with warm water and smear it on the back of your hand, and you’d be fine.”
Ignoring Shopkeeper Zhang who nearly shitted his pants there, Ling Jingxuan walked over holding the jar, and only felt out a finger-size brown pill and threw it to the woman in green after sitting on the opposite side of Zeng Shaoqing. If he guessed right, this guy wouldn’t be so simple as he appeared. Judging from his swift steps, his martial arts should be pretty high. The reason he could successfully poison him was his luck and his defenselessness. If given another chance, it wouldn’t be so easy. If possible, he would want to offend such kind of person, or make friends with him. A man who performed his own advantaged to the extreme to cover his true nature was usually very dangerous.
Of course, if he kept molesting him, he wouldn’t show mercy. Poisoning him might not be easy, but not totally impossible. He had his own way to deal with him.
To put it bluntly, he was just too lazy, and had no mood to deal with this kind of tough and sly fox.
They were both the shrewd and cunning kind. Just a little skirmish between them, and they saw each other’s nature more or less clearly.
“I thought you’d let my hand rot like that.”
The woman in green soon smeared the antidote on the back of his hand was she was told. Nearly in a second, the extremely itch was gone, and swollen back of his hand went down. Zeng Shaoqing slightly curved his lips. It seemed that this time he came to the right place. He even picked such an amusing delicate man.
“Do you think it’s only your hand that’s going to rot?”
Eyebrow lightly picking, Ling Jingxuan didn’t mind exposing his ability with poison, only to let the other side see what he was capable of, they would have a greater space for cooperation, someone like him, he would never want to cooperate with a fool.
“Haha…So, I got a huge bargain!”
Hearing him, Zeng Shaoqing revealed the most real smile. Since Yan Shengrui went missing at the boarders, a few big forces were all looking for him secretly. In case they found him first, he had to cast a net to look for him too. Pity that no news he received was cheering. He nearly forgot since when he even nearly lost his real desire. But such a whim visit could make him laugh again.
He was already seductive enough, plus that smile made his charm off the charts. Even Ling Jingxuan sitting on his opposite side had to look away to get distracted, having no idea who could subdue such a demon-level figure! But as long as it was not his man, he’d give his blessing.
“Jingxuan, are you really just an ordinary farmer? A farmer could never figure out such a cold dish. And the medicinal fish! Through the whole territory of Cangzhou, in those 120 towns of the six prefectures, no one had ever successfully fed freshwater fish. If someone told me a farmer did it, I can’t believe it.”
After the greeting, Zeng Shaoqing finally got into the business. If he was only a bit interested when heard about that cold dish, now he was surprised about that he could even raise fish in this place. That pair of seemingly careless eyes stared at him. Even a subtle change of his expression couldn’t escape from his eyes, but…
Let along expression fluctuations, even the radian of that faint smile didn’t change a bit, “When a person is forced to the dead end, anything impossible will become possible. When I was a child, I once learned some medical skills from a barefoot doctor. So it isn’t strange that I can use herbs to raise fish. Or, we can only follow the predecessors’ footsteps and walk the chalk, but could never have our own innovation?”
Stereotyped excuse! He did not believe that he could really insist on asking him to find out the non-existent barefoot doctor for him. In this world, there were so many things that human could not reach, even though he had a strong background or was backed by the imperial family, he still could not do many things.
Pia~Pia~
“Good innovation! I like someone like you! Jingxuan, would you consider about being with me?”
All of a sudden, the applause broke out, Zeng Shaoqing swept the previous probing attitude, half of his body leaned forward across the table, with that pair of fox eyes fixing on him. His hand that stretched out trying to touch him shrank back again. About his poisoning abilities, he was still a little scared.
“Hehe…Forget it. What of you fall in love with me? I will be very troubled.”
His clear and deep eyes looked straight at him. Ling Jingxuan was still calm, without any hurry and confusion, but he couldn’t help complaining in the heart. No wonder he and Yan Shengrui were childhood friends. Both were so thick-skinned.
“Troubled?”
Isn’t it his honor if he falls in love with him? Why bother? He should know, countless ladies in the imperial city were lining up for his favor, while he refused? Is it possible his charm has retrogressed?
Zeng Shaoqing could not help feeling upset in the heart He was the son of a noble duke, the emperor’s cousin, and the first rich businessman of the Qing Kingdom. Who wouldn’t lose himself/herself to him as long as they saw him? He said it’d be a trouble??? That was a big blow to his confidence.
“My heart is very small, I only need one I love. Besides, I am petty on relationships. I can never share my lover with someone else. You look so handsome, so chanming. I guess you should have a lot of admirers. But I am not interested to be on your hunting list. Of course, if you don’t mind me poisoning all of them to death, and then poisoning you, I don’t mind you keep chasing after me. But on one premise, you should have enough abilities to make me fall in love with you.”
Ling Jingxuan’s words were not only cruel, but also astounding. In such a world where a man could three wives and four concubines but a woman could only be faithful to her husband unto death after marrying that man, if those words spread out, he’d even be thrown into a pig cage and soaked in water. The slightest outcome was that he was a slattern and got pointed at by people for the rest of his life, let alone he was merely a farmer. Even the present empress wouldn’t dare say it so reasonably. She even had to act like a virtuous woman to arrange the sleeping list for the emperor. But not only he said, but also he looked as if it was a natural thing. Thinking of here, Zeng Shaoqing’s interest about him grew denser.
“Then, for the sake of my life, I’d better behave myself.”
The ambiguous feeling mixed in his interest was already gone. This was the first time they met, he wouldn’t give up the whole forest for one crooked tree. But…Some kind of evil light flashed under his fox eyes. What would happen if that asshole Yan Shengrui met him? One was so domineering and aggressive, while the other always performed so calmly but also imposing, which advocated monogamy. If they met, what chemical reaction would they have? Not knowing why, he suddenly became expected about it. When he found Yan Shengrui, he’d definitely bring him to see this Ling Jingxuan in the first place!
Of course, that was only his wishful thinking. Even in his dream he couldn’t expect that now Yan Shengrui who he had been looking for everywhere was at Ling Jingxuan’s home now.
