Qu Linglong could see that Wang Xiaoqiang was also a strong-willed person. Despite her reluctance, she had to finally concede, nodding her head while biting her red lips and turning to go upstairs to the kitchen in the Wind Rain Pavilion restaurant to cook.
Seeing Qu Linglong finally stop resisting, Yuu Chengfeng let out a long sigh of relief, turned to Wang Xiaoqiang with a smile and said, "Little Qiang, are you planning to eat in the restaurant, or here in the lobby on the first floor?"
"This is not the place to eat. Let's go to the restaurant." Wang Xiaoqiang thought for a mont and replied.
Although the people from the Wind and Rain Pavilion of Huayin Province were unreliable, the Wind Rain Pavilion was still sacred in Wang Xiaoqiang's heart.
The first floor was a place for discussions, and no one had ever dared to eat and drink there since ancient tis, rely having tea at most. He didn't want to break this rule and let outsiders comnt, so he decided to go to the restaurant to eat.
"Alright, alright," Yuu Chengfeng, acting like a little follower now, said obsequiously to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Co, I'll take you to the restaurant."
Right then, Yuu Chengfeng led Wang Xiaoqiang to the restaurant on the second floor. When Wang Xiaoqiang sat down boldly in the Wind Rain Pavilion restaurant, Yuu Chengfeng did not sit but said, "Little Qiang, you sit first. I'll go check how much longer Qu Linglong will take..."
Wang Xiaoqiang saw how considerate and sensible Yuu Chengfeng was, and he nodded.
Yuu Chengfeng went to the kitchen and found Qu Linglong busy chopping vegetables there. He then approached and looked at her, seeing her face as calm as water, furiously chopping vegetables, knowing that she was still angry inside. In a low voice, he advised, "Linglong, I know tonight you are trying to cover up for the Wind Rain Pavilion, not wanting the disgraceful deeds of Luoo Yuxiang to be exposed, but unfortunately, you've encountered Wang Xiaoqiang. Who is Wang Xiaoqiang? King of Kunshan and Fang Yuntian go against him, and what is the result? Any good outco?..."
Qu Linglong's pride was high; though she had admitted fault and conceded, she still harbored anger inside. She hated Wang Xiaoqiang bitterly, and now she regarded the vegetables as Wang Xiaoqiang, chopping vigorously as if wanting to cut him into pieces.
"Honestly, Linglong, Wang Xiaoqiang's strength is unmatched by you, let alone , but in terms of wits, I fear the two of us combined would not match him. I just asked him whether he wanted to eat in the lobby on the first floor or in the restaurant... and guess what?"
Qu Linglong paused her hand and turned her face to look at Yuu Chengfeng.
Yuu Chengfeng said, "He said he wanted to eat in the restaurant."
Qu Linglong was surprised upon hearing this.
"Look how shrewd he is, not willing to leave any leverage," Yuu Chengfeng sighed.
The Wind Rain Pavilion's first-floor lobby is a hall for matters, sacred and inviolable. If Wang Xiaoqiang dared to eat there, it would be disrespectful to the Wind Rain Pavilion. If it spread, not only would the other nine Wind Rain Pavilions have opinions about Wang Xiaoqiang, but the Biluo Heavenly Emperor would also think of him as arrogant and develop suspicion. However, he didn't choose the first-floor lobby.
Qu Linglong felt the sa way upon hearing this... This Evil Star is indeed cunning as a fox!!
"Linglong, Wang Xiaoqiang is in the Mahayana Realm of the Undying Golden Body, with trendous cultivation base potential, and possesses such an intelligent mind, gaining the favor of the Heavenly Emperor. His future is limitless, so we can't afford to offend him..."
Qu Linglong was montarily stunned.
"On the contrary, if we can foster a good relationship with him, that would be excellent. Linglong, you are close with Qingxue and Qingwen, and I haven't treated you as an outsider, always seeing you as a niece. Truth be told, tonight's issue is a disaster for you, but fortune and misfortune are intertwined. If handled properly, the disaster can turn into your fortune..."
Yuu Chengfeng noticed Qu Linglong's face blushing, showing a shy expression, knowing the matter couldn't be spelled out too clearly, so he promptly turned and left the kitchen.
Seeing Yuu Chengfeng exiting the kitchen and not returning to the restaurant, going downstairs instead, Wang Xiaoqiang withdrew his Heavenly Eye from him and directed it to the kitchen again. Through the Heavenly Eye, he had clearly seen and heard the conversation between Yuu Chengfeng and Qu Linglong. Now a playful smile appeared on his face, and the Heavenly Eye was set on Qu Linglong's red and charming face.
Qu Linglong cut vegetables with a reddened face, unlike earlier, her movents were now calm and orderly, without any emotions. There was no denying her knife skills were outstanding, the vegetables she cut were uniform in size, thickness was appropriate, and had a layered feel.
Wang Xiaoqiang nodded with satisfaction, then focused his gaze on Qu Linglong's exquisite figure, lingering on her plump, delicate body, his gaze becoming a bit lecherous.
"Hmm, this woman is indeed fine, her figure, appearance, temperant, especially that proud nature… The key is her cooking style, which has the flavor of a holy woman. Hmm, earlier she was a proud woman, but now she has turned into a gentle, holy woman. What a drastic change that is?!"
Wang Xiaoqiang examined Qu Linglong with appreciation, whereas Qu Linglong flustered over cooking, although there was no doubt about her culinary skills, she was quick, and soon prepared four dishes and one soup.
She let out a long breath, then brought the dishes to the restaurant and placed them in front of Wang Xiaoqiang.
Wang Xiaoqiang had retracted his Heavenly Eye, but now his physical eyes were tightly fixed on Qu Linglong's every move. Her every step and gesture were full of charm, imbued with both youthful innocence and mature allure. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang staring at her intently, Qu Linglong blushed, her beautiful eyes shyly averted. After setting the dishes on the table, she made an excuse to leave, saying, "I'll go fetch so wine..."
"No need, I have so here." Wang Xiaoqiang said as he took out a flask of wine from the Storage Ring and placed it on the table, gesturing with his chin, "Pour so wine."
Though Qu Linglong still felt awkward, she had no choice but to comply, as she previously agreed to serve Wang Xiaoqiang food and drink; serving naturally included pouring wine.
So she poured Wang Xiaoqiang a cup of wine, and Wang Xiaoqiang, staring at her slender hands gripping the flask, inexplicably recalled a verse, and thus began to recite: "Red Soft Hands, Yellow Vine Wine, a city full of spring dusk against palace walls; east wind fierce, affection thin, a cup of lancholy, years of separation and longing, wrong, wrong, wrong... Spring as it was, people yet thin, grace marks yearning face, cherry blossoms fall, Idle Pool Pavilion, vows ever exist, Brocade Book hard to entrust, don't, don't, don't..."
Wang Xiaoqiang, montarily inspired, started reciting the words of the poem "Phoenix Hairpin Head", which unanticipatedly captivated Qu Linglong.
Qu Linglong was a person of elegance, usually indulging in poetry and songs besides cultivation, but rarely encountering fine poems.
To her, Wang Xiaoqiang's verse was simply heavenly, as if penned by the Poetry God, truly marvelous beyond words.
Qu Linglong was montarily stunned, savoring the poem "Phoenix Hairpin Head", and Wang Xiaoqiang saw her transfixed, her solemn look rich with allure and attractiveness. He then, unable to resist, reached out and grabbed her Red Soft Hand. (To be continued.
