Chapter 42: I Want Your Braids
Chapter 42: I Want Your Braids
You Longsheng replied without hesitation, causing Sun Xiaohong to be stunned. It was a well-known fact that her cute and playful question was a powerful weapon that few could resist, yet he remained unfazed.
Although she wasn't Lin Xian'er, she knew how to utilize this seemingly innate feminine charm.
"You're just a storyteller wandering the jianghu. Stick to telling popular tales and stop prying into Shaolin's secrets." You Longsheng rapped Sun Xiaohong's head lightly. "Don't you know that being a know-it-all is the easiest way to make enemies?"
Sun Xiaohong rubbed her head and pouted. "But this is how we make a living. Spare a thought for us, Young Master."
"Psh! Who'll spare a thought for me if I spare one for you?" You Longsheng munched on another peanut. "If I go around spreading Shaolin's secrets, am I trying to get myself killed, or do I just want to see Cangjian Manor flourish too much?"
"The Shaolin monks are magnanimous and forgiving. They won't blame you," Sun Xiaohong said with a giggle.
You Longsheng rolled his eyes. "What's in it for me, then?"
Sun Xiaohong's big eyes sparkled as she said, "Grandpa and I will spread your fame far and wide across the jianghu."
"Thanks, but no thanks," You Longsheng said sarcastically. "Do you really think I have that much free time? I'm already the young master of Cangjian Manor. I don't need that much fame, nor do I need you to spread my name."
"Then what do you want?" Sun Xiaohong asked.
You Longsheng looked Sun Xiaohong up and down before a mischievous smile curved his lips. Slowly, he reached out towards Sun Xiaohong's profile and said, "I want you..."
Sun Xiaohong shuddered involuntarily and pulled back her neck.
Tianji Laoren tapped his tobacco pipe, seemingly casually bending his fingers.
The young man and woman frowned, and the woman whispered, "I didn't expect You Longsheng to be such a lecher. Brother, let's cripple him later..."
Before she could finish, You Longsheng drew out the word and continued, "...braids."
Sun Xiaohong: ???
Everyone was taken aback, even Tianji Laoren seemed a little startled.
Sun Xiaohong stared blankly and asked, "You want my what?"
"Your braids!"
You Longsheng reached for Sun Xiaohong's left braid, black and lustrous, and held it in his hand, stroking it gently. "Not bad, not bad at all. It feels so smooth."
Sun Xiaohong looked at You Longsheng as if he were a pervert.
She had traveled far and wide with her grandfather and had indeed heard of and seen men with peculiar fetishes—some liked chests, some liked legs, some hands, and some even feet. But she had never heard of anyone liking braids, let alone seen one.
"You like braids?" Sun Xiaohong asked, already considering a new hairstyle for tomorrow.
You Longsheng stroked his chin. "No, I don't like your braided bun. I actually prefer twin tails."
"Twin tails?" Sun Xiaohong had never heard of this hairstyle.
You Longsheng nodded but didn't elaborate. Instead, he turned to look at Sun Xiaohong, only to meet her perverted-perceiver gaze.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" You Longsheng was speechless.
"You like my hair?" Sun Xiaohong felt goosebumps rise all over her body.
"Yes," You Longsheng nodded. Before Sun Xiaohong could speak, he continued, "Your hair is of excellent quality—black and shiny. It's perfect for making a wig."
"A wig?" Sun Xiaohong was confused again.
"Yes, a wig," You Longsheng confirmed. "The steward of my manor is middle-aged and going bald. I haven't been back for a year, and he's been managing the place and working hard. I feel a bit sorry for him, so I want to use your hair to make a wig for him so that he won't have to worry about his head getting cold during the bitter winter."
Sun Xiaohong immediately shook her head vigorously, her braids flying as she denied, "No deal!"
Shaking her head, she scurried back to Tianji Laoren's side, her movements agile and light. Not only You Longsheng but also the man and woman sitting nearby could tell that Sun Xiaohong had impressive lightwork skills.
The man nodded and smiled, "So, it turns out that Young Master You has seen through this young lady's true colors and was just teasing her. I thought such a unique person wouldn't make such lewd expressions."
However, the woman beside him remained indifferent and said, "Someone who can make such realistic lewd expressions may not necessarily be faking it."
The man didn't argue but instead showed great interest as he said, "But his sword skills are truly exceptional. Yin Wuji is no weakling, and his swordplay is rarely matched on both sides of the Yellow River. Even the Bloodstained Twin Snakes wouldn't dare provoke him, yet he couldn't keep up with You Longsheng's Nine Swords."
"Do you want to duel him?" the woman asked.
The man nodded, "I heard his sword skills aren't as good as that wandering swordsman. After I defeat him, I'll go find that Afly and compare swords with him."
The woman scoffed, "You're already a famous Chaser Wind Swordsman in the jianghu, yet now you want to duel a young man who has just entered the martial arts world?"
The man shook his head, "In learning, there is no before or after, and the accomplished are our teachers. When Shen Lang, Shen Daxia, first entered the jianghu, how many of the older and more experienced masters could defeat him?"
On the other side, after Sun Xiaohong returned to Tianji Laoren's side, she also realized that You Longsheng had been teasing her, so she stuck her tongue out at him several times.
Du Qian chuckled, "That little girl is quite adorable. Taking her back to warm the master's bed wouldn't be bad at all."
You Longsheng rolled his eyes and knocked on Du Qian's head, "Keep your voice down. You should know that disasters come from the mouth. When traveling in the jianghu, if you don't know someone's background, don't joke about them casually, or they might break your head."
Du Qian blinked, "Does the master know that little girl's background?"
You Longsheng choked on his words as he glanced at Sun Xiaohong and Tianji Laoren. He replied calmly, "Our horses are all carefully selected, the best of the best. Just in case, you'll stay in the stable tonight to guard the horses and prevent any horse thieves from stealing them."
Du Qian's face stiffened, and Feng Wan immediately lowered his head to eat.
You Longsheng also started eating, "Damn! I was careless and spoke too hastily, even flirting with Tianji Laoren's granddaughter. I don't have a protagonist's halo, so the consequences are unpredictable. Tomorrow, we run!"
...
Early the next morning, Feng Wan found a boat, and the three of them, along with their three horses, crossed the Yellow River.
When they reached the north bank of the Yellow River and were about to turn onto the official road, they didn't encounter Tianji Laoren and Sun Xiaohong, who might have caused them trouble. Instead, they saw the man and woman from the inn blocking their path.
Du Qian pulled on the reins and shouted, "Who are you, and what business do you have with us?"
The man smiled slightly, "I am Ding Chengfeng from Hebei Ding family. Yesterday, I witnessed Brother You's swordplay and couldn't help but itch for a duel. Brother You, please do me the honor."
