Women were really strange creatures.
If you were strong, she would be timid. If you were slightly weaker, she would become quite bold and go against you in every way.
Huh? Why did it seem like he was bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
It was not that women were bullying the weak, but that they showed certain characteristics to the men they were concerned about, which was quite difficult to understand.
Li Jing felt that his dignity had been challenged. He had to launch a counterattack, or he would not be able to raise his head.
Thus, he suddenly pushed Hong Lian to the ground and suppressed her forcefully. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely,"I can't be the only one who's shy. You have to be shy too.”
"Hey, what are you doing?" Hong Lian, who was pressed to the ground by him, did not react much and asked rather calmly.
"It's so obvious, but you still saw it. Don't you know?”Li Jing once again felt that he had lost his dignity. He had not scared the girl even after this. It seemed that he was even more ruthless.
Their bodies sank down, and their foreheads were about to touch. They could smell the fragrance of the other party's body and his warm breath.
His approach finally caused the girl below to change and start struggling.
Red Lotus looked at the ridiculously handsome face getting closer and closer, and began to panic. She said unconfidently,"If you dare to do anything to me, I will shout loudly. Bullying the princess, no matter how powerful you are, you will die without a burial place.”
"I want to try. After bullying you, the princess of Han Country, will I die without a burial place like you said? Hehe, even if I don't die, it will be very thrilling. I love thrilling things.”Li Jing was thick-skinned and even picked the girl up from the ground, like a princess.
Hong Lian was at a loss for what to do with this hug. Her cute and fair face immediately turned red, looking exceptionally attractive.
She began to struggle and shout,"You lunatic, lecher, let go of me!"”
"Let go then. It sounds like I'm taking advantage of you.”Seeing Red Lotus struggling violently and even calling out the words " lecher," Li Jing was too embarrassed to continue, so he let go of his hands.
He lifted her up into the air and suddenly let her go. There was a bang and the girl's painful voice.
"You bastard, how can you let go like this? Tomorrow, I'll get my father to lock you up in prison.”Hong Lian supported her waist with one hand and crawled up from the grass with black lines all over her face. Her pretty face was huffing and puffing.
Li Jing also realized how annoying his behavior was just now, but he didn't let it go. He even boasted shamelessly,
"Alright, I also want to see if Han Du's prison can hold me. I heard that there was a very powerful swordsman who was once locked up in the strictest prison in many countries, but he escaped every time. Moreover, every time he escaped, he became stronger, so I wanted to give it a try. What was it called again? What's his name?"
"Black Swordsman wins seven!"
Before Li Jing could say anything, someone had already said it for him.
It was Hong Lian. Now, she did not seem to care about his mistakes. She walked to the stone bench beside him and sat down elegantly.
She sat up straight and her posture became graceful. Then, she said with some fear and some yearning,"I've heard of him. The black swordsman, Sheng Qi, just escaped from the most secure prison in Han Country. No one could stop him, and many people died. He remembered that it was General Ji Wuye who had captured him a year ago. At that time, he had failed to challenge the General and was captured. A few months ago, when he had come out, he had even injured the General. Those who had seen the Black Swordsman Sheng Qi said that he was a monster and would be afraid when they talked about him.”
Looking at Red Lotus 'abnormal behavior, Li Jing was puzzled. Fear was understandable, but what was the yearning that faintly surpassed fear?
Could it be that he yearned for the power of the Black Swordsman?
Out of habit, he tilted his head and nodded." Yes, it is indeed a monster. One day, I will go and meet that monster. Haha, after all, I am also a monster. I want to see which monster is more powerful.”
Li Jing walked over and sat down on the stone bench beside him.
He liked the current Princess Red Lotus and the future Chi Lian. If he could get close to her, he would. If he could talk to her, he would.
After he sat down, Hong Lian turned around and faced him. Her beautiful starry eyes were very serious." You're courting death. Although I hate Ji Wuye, it's undeniable that he's the strongest general in our Han Country. Even he was defeated. You won't even have bones left, even if you can defeat Third Uncle.”
"It makes sense.”Li Jing touched his high nose bridge and smiled.""But do you know why swordsmen always risk their lives to challenge?”
"I'm not a swordsman, so how would I know?”
Hong Lian's straightforward answer made him lose his temper. He could only continue,"Indeed, you are not a swordsman. Even if you learn the sword and your swordsmanship reaches an astonishing level, you will not be a swordsman as long as you do not leave this tall wall and the majestic siege of Han Du. Because swordsmen had swords and guests, guests who lived in other places and wandered the world.”
"I don't understand what you're saying, but! I must, I must definitely practice my swordsmanship well!”Hong Lian suddenly stood up and bent down to look down at him. Her eyes emitted a determined light.
This light made her even more beautiful, and Li Jing almost couldn't look straight at her.
"I'm curious. You don't seem to like swordsmanship that much, so why do you insist on practicing it well?”
"Because I'm scared."
Scared? What kind of answer was that? Because you are afraid, you must practice your swordsmanship well. Do you think that if you practice your swordsmanship well, no one will dare to bully you?
She was obviously the princess of a country, yet she was afraid of being bullied…
Li Jing thought strangely.
He raised his head and looked at the young girl. He felt that he had to get to know Princess Red Lotus again. This was a princess who wanted to learn the sword because she was afraid.
