Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Chapter 163 Do you want to go to Luoyang Painting Boat?

"Hey? Lou Xiao?" Xiao Zhengdu looked up at her, trying to change her mind.

"Are you afraid that you can't win? It doesn't matter. There are so many talented people in the martial arts world. It's not a big deal if you can't get the secret book."

He leaned against the shore and said loudly, "Li Ke beside me is also an expert in martial arts. If that doesn't work, I'll let him do it."

"Don't try to provoke me, Xiao Zhengdu, are you so idle? Can't you see that this grandstanding competition is just a joke?"

Lou Xiao only had half of her shoulders and neck exposed in the hot spring. Her hair was casually tied up on top of her head with a wooden hairpin. Occasionally a few strands of hair floated down and she brushed them behind her ears.

"Aren't we here in Yunsu City just for fun? Didn't you say that we wanted to go to the Luoyang Boat on the Yunsu River to listen to music and have fun? There are many beauties from around Yunsu City gathered there, and they are indeed much more beautiful than the martial arts competition."

Where to start?

Lou Xiao opened her mouth to refute, but Xiao Zhengdu quickly spoke up again, "Forget it, let's go see the beauty as you wish. As for the martial arts competition... I'll go by myself."

Nonsense!

When is she going to Luoyang Painting Boat?! She is more familiar with the fireworks place than she is, who wants to go there?

Lou Xiao narrowed her eyes and wanted to refute, but at least she had the brain to think about it carefully first. Why did Xiao Zhengdu suddenly bring up fun?

They couldn't tell the purpose of their coming to Yunsu City, so naturally they could only come for fun.

All right--

Lou Xiao silently accepted his reason and followed his words, but she still felt wronged in her heart and her tone was not very good.

"Of course I have to go. I want you to know that Yunsu City is full of beauties. Everyone will forget the world when they see them. The next time you look in the mirror and feel proud of your beauty, you'd better be a little more self-aware."

Just talking nonsense, everyone can do that.

"I have applied powder and drawn eyebrows, but I am still not as clean and graceful as her."

The aesthetic taste of people at that time was more inclined towards thin and graceful like bamboo, and elegant and refined, especially Yun Sucheng, who valued literature.

For a tall figure like Xiao Zhengdu, wearing that thin, flowing silk robe with big sleeves might not necessarily look good on him.

Xiao Zhengdu probably didn't expect that she would accept it directly, and it sounded like she admired the man from the fireworks place.

I was stunned for a moment and almost asked her, do you really want to go to Luoyang Houseboat?

It was his fault for being so mean. If she really went, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to stop her.

"Then you can't abandon me. I also want to see with my own eyes how stunning the beauties of Yunsu City are."

Xiao Zhengdu was more angry than her. Lou Xiao just felt happy. It was obviously this guy who brought up the topic first. If she really continued it, she would not be able to have fun anymore.

Like a little kid.

"She can sing, recite poetry, dance with swords, coax people, and is beautiful. No wonder so many romantic figures spend a lot of money.

But I am more curious about whether there is any oiran here? You know more than me, do you know who is the oiran in Yunsu City now?"

Lou Xiao sounded really interested, "I really want to meet the Oiran——"

Xiao Zhengdu said on the other side with a sour look on his face, "Can you sing? You want to sing with him?

Can you recite poetry? How many lines can you recite?

Can he wield a sword? He can't withstand a single blow from you."

And the Oiran...

"You can't just meet the courtesan in Yunsu City if you want to. You need to be extremely wealthy, talented, and pretty."

As for the word "talent", it has nothing to do with you and me.

Lou Xiao only heard the first half of the sentence, "Don't you have money? It's up to you when the time comes!"

"you--"

Xiao Zhengdu sneered angrily, thinking of beauty and spending his money to see the courtesan and find a beauty?

Zhulianlou Xiao knew that he was angry and laughed secretly. Xiao Zhengdu was a person who loved to talk nonsense.

It's obvious that he always gets into trouble, but he still doesn't change.

"Okay! I want to see if the courtesan of Luoyang Boat will see you when you ask for an audience with her."

Xiao Zhengdu spread his arms on the stone steps beside the hot spring, half turned his head and spoke to her, "Don't feel ashamed if I didn't like you at that time."

Lou Xiao blinked and smiled, "It doesn't matter if she doesn't like me, as long as she likes you. If you catch her eye, you can take me to see her."

Xiao Zhengdu slapped the water and suppressed his anger, "Okay - then we can go to paradise together, are you willing?"

Play big.

Lou Xiao splashed water on herself and spat it out, "Xiao Zhengdu, you are shameless!"

"How am I shameless? It was you who wanted to watch it." He asked with a bit of malice, "Why, Miss Lou, you don't like it?"

"Ugh!" Lou Xiao splashed the water to make a lot of noise and said, "I won't say it anymore! This is so shameful! It's immoral!"

This time Xiao Zhengdu was amused. It turned out that the flowers you were talking about were actually just a blank piece of paper.

It seems that the man from Nanzi didn't do anything, and the same goes for Li Huaiqing, they are all useless.

He waited for her to play with the water, listening leisurely and imagining her blushing face in the mist.

Forget it, even if I went to Luoyang Houseboat with her, she wouldn't do anything.

Actually, he was quite curious. People said that Yunsu City was a place for the rich and powerful to have fun, but he had only heard of it but had never been there.

Whether it's a martial arts competition or the Luoyang pleasure boat, why not go and take a look.

There was nothing she could do anyway—what was the harm in spending some money?

With me by her side, who would dare to mess with her?

Xiao Zhengdu was about to tell her when he heard Lou Xiao quiet down.

There was no movement at all, it seemed as if he had already stood up and walked away.

"Hey! Lou Xiao?" Xiao Zhengdu asked in confusion, "It's only been a short while, and he left?"

There was still no sound.

Xiao Zhengdu still felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to make some trouble with her, so he called out a few more times, but still didn't get a response from Lou Xiao.

He concentrated and sensed, but he didn't hear Lou Xiao's breathing. He said to himself, "Is she really gone?"

Another possibility occurred to me, "He's not drowning, is he?"

But how is it possible? She can beat him unilaterally as soon as she meets him. She is very skilled in martial arts.

Can you drown in a bath?

There is no one to serve him now. His guards and Lou Xiao's are all men... He doesn't want others to see her.

Xiao Zhengdu shouted a few more times and was about to get up and turn over to look for her when he finally heard the sound of water breaking.

It turned out that Lou Xiao had sunk into the spring and came out again because she was annoyed by his noise.

"…You are calling for souls!"

Xiao Zhengdu said awkwardly, "I thought you were drowning. There was no movement for so long."

She let her hair down to straighten it out and said casually, "I'm not dead, you can shut up now."

It was really quiet over there on Xiao Zhengdu's side.

But when Lou Xiao was about to sink into the water again, a small stone flew over the bamboo curtain that was two people high, landed on her forehead with a "pop", and rolled into the hot spring in front of her.

How childish.

She ignored it.

Another one, then two, and then another one after a while.

It’s hard for him to find so many stones!

Lou Xiao was furious, "Xiao Zhengdu! Are you itching for trouble?"

"Hey!"

You still!
