Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 507: Teasing

‘What’s going on?’ Huang Rong was momentarily stunned. ‘Could it be that I was dreaming just now?’

Huang Rong felt dazed until she was embraced by Guo Jing again, and then she realized that Song Qingshu had mentioned something about disguise earlier.

Being held in his arms, Huang Rong remained calm and collected, using the opportunity to quietly touch his face with her hands, wanting to check if he was wearing a mask.

However, just as her fingers were about to touch his face, ‘Guo Jing’ seemed to predict her move and subtly tilted his head, skillfully avoiding her touch. When Huang Rong tried again, her hands were already gently held by him.

“Rong’er, you seem to have lost weight recently.” ‘Guo Jing’ held her hands and gazed at her affectionately.

Huang Rong blushed slightly and gave up her probing, having understood that this ‘Guo Jing’ was actually Song Qingshu in disguise. Her Brother Jing would never speak so sweetly.

After some hesitation, Huang Rong didn’t expose him directly. Instead, she carefully observed him.

“So similar~” Huang Rong’s eyes sparkled. 

If Song Qingshu hadn’t mentioned his disguise skills beforehand, even if she found this Guo Jing a bit unusual, she wouldn’t have thought much of it and might have been completely deceived.

Song Qingshu, to test whether his disguise skills could fool those close to him, secretly disguised himself as Brother Jing and, while she was distracted, moved the Ninth Princess away, creating a false memory to see if she could see through his disguise.

‘But why didn’t I feel anything when the Ninth Princess disappeared?’ Although Huang Rong knew her martial arts were far inferior to Song Qingshu’s, it was still impossible for him to take someone away right under her nose.

‘Could I have fallen victim to his Soul Catching Art?’

Huang Rong quickly realized this, and her expression turned sour.

“That b*stard!”

However, Huang Rong wasn’t truly angry. Being clever, she quickly understood that if Song Qingshu hadn’t hinted beforehand, and she was caught off guard, his Soul Catching Art and disguise as Brother Jing would have made it hard for her to detect any flaws.

At that time, if he approached her as Brother Jing, she would probably not have refused and might have been happy to comply.

‘Ugh, what a vile skill. It’d be a disaster if he becomes a lecherous thief.’

Thinking of some indecent scenarios, Huang Rong blushed and silently cursed.

“Rong’er, what are you thinking about?” ‘Guo Jing’s’ voice sounded again.

Huang Rong originally wanted to expose Song Qingshu’s trick, but a mischievous thought arose. This was too boring; she decided to pretend not to notice and see what Song Qingshu would do next.

‘Just being held like this is a bit embarrassing.’

Huang Rong hesitated, but then thought, she had already been held by him in the cave before, and now he looked like Brother Jing, so it didn’t seem like a big deal.

“Rong’er, why are you suddenly spacing out?” 

‘Guo Jing’s’ voice echoed in her ears again.

Hearing his gentle voice, Huang Rong was momentarily taken aback, as if she was back in her youthful days, feeling a strange sense of nostalgia. She instinctively replied, “Rong’er is worried that without Brother Jing, Xiangyang might face some trouble.”

While speaking, Huang Rong quietly stepped back, distancing herself from ‘Guo Jing.’ Knowing that he was Song Qingshu in disguise, she only wanted to tease him and wouldn’t let him take further advantage.

‘Guo Jing’ smiled slightly, not minding her action. “Now that the Mongols and Song Dynasty have signed a ceasefire agreement, there shouldn’t be any major conflicts for a while. Rong’er can rest assured.”

“Hmph, you’re quite good at acting. Let’s see how long you can keep this up.”

Huang Rong quickly put on a radiant smile and continued to ask, “When did Brother Jing leave Xiangyang?”

‘Guo Jing’ hesitated for a moment before answering, “I came to find you shortly after you left.”

Hmph, a slip-up. She had wandered through many places to find Fu’er. If Brother Jing had left Xiangyang at that time, he should have arrived at the Golden Serpent Camp before her.

Huang Rong didn’t expose him immediately; it would be too boring to do so now. She then deliberately shifted the topic to Song Qingshu. “Brother Jing, this time Song Qingshu winning the Golden Serpent King title was unexpected. What do you think of this young man?”

Huang Rong emphasized ‘young man’ with a mischievous look, waiting for his response.

“Song Qingshu, huh,” ‘Guo Jing’ seemed to be organizing his thoughts, pacing slowly in the room before finally sitting on a nearby couch and motioning for Huang Rong to sit beside him. “This young man is handsome, suave, and exceptionally skilled in martial arts, a once-in-several-centuries genius in the martial world.”

“Pfft, boasting without shame.” Huang Rong silently cursed. Seeing his invitation, she hesitated. Sitting on a bed together felt a bit dangerous, but she wanted to use this opportunity to ask Song Qingshu some questions she couldn’t normally ask.

After a long hesitation, Huang Rong shyly walked over, stopping three feet from the couch, unwilling to go further.

Unexpectedly, ‘Guo Jing’ extended his hand, and although his movement seemed slow, Huang Rong couldn’t evade it. With a gentle pull, she stumbled and sat on his lap.

“Rong’er, why be so distant with your husband?” ‘Guo Jing’s’ honest smile now seemed extremely annoying to Huang Rong.

She wanted to struggle and stand up, but found her strength futile, like a clay ox entering the sea, with no effect at all.

Fortunately, Song Qingshu only pulled her onto his lap without making further moves. Huang Rong hesitated briefly before giving up her struggle and took the opportunity to ask, “Brother Jing, how do you compare your martial arts with Song Qingshu’s?”

This was a question that had puzzled Huang Rong since watching Song Qingshu’s performance at the Golden Serpent Camp. Although she vaguely had an answer in her mind, she wanted to hear it from the person involved.

This question was delicate, and previously, Huang Rong didn’t feel comfortable asking Song Qingshu directly. Now that he was disguised as Guo Jing, she could pretend to know nothing and ask directly.

‘Guo Jing’ looked at her with a faint smile and didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he lifted her chin, gently stroking her smooth skin with his fingers, and in a low, charming voice said, “That depends on Rong’er’s wish. If you want my martial arts to be better, then I’m better. If you want me to be worse, then I’m worse.”
