Chapter 77
The Tortoise And The Hare
When Huang Nishang saw him feasting on the stone steps, she yelled, “Hey, you look like you're enjoying yourself! We're all suffering here and you look like you're on vacation!”
Then, she sat down near him and rubbed her knees and heels, staring at his dried meat and water intently.
He smiled and continued eating.
She continued to stare and coughed drily, as if to say, please help this damsel in distress.
He looked at her pitifully. “Doesn't it smell so good?”
She did her best to look gentle as she gulped, though maintaining a look of contempt. “I can't smell it.”
He grinned. “Then I'll eat another piece so you can smell it.” Then, he ate another piece and deliberately chewed with his mouth open.
Huang Nishang raised her eyebrows with rage but held herself back. “It smells so bad! I hate it.”
He laughed privately and continued to eat. “You didn't prepare your own food and water?”
She whined, “How would I know the test would involve climbing steps?!”
“Are the tests different every time?”
“The tests are different every time for each sect. This is to prevent cheating and prior preparations.”
Chengfeng nodded, took out a piece of dried meat and held it out. She was about to grab it when he retracted his arm and glared, “What are you doing?!”
She glared back. “What are YOU doing? Wasn't that for me?”
“You're shameless! You said it didn't smell good! I was just going to let you smell it!”
Huang Nishang was furious but she forced a smile and bent slightly to accentuate her hips. Gazing at him gently, she asked in a seductive voice, “Brother Li, do you think I'm pretty?”
He looked at her solemnly. “Hmm, if only you could cover two imperfections on your face, then you would be perfect.”
No girl would joke around about matters regarding their face. “Where?”
“The left half of your face, and the right half of your face.”
She raised her eyebrows in rage, “Li Chengfeng, I will fight you!”
He shook the dried meat in front of her and chuckled, “Want some?”
She was furious. Now she must make a choice between her dignity and food!
She gritted her teeth and extended her arm. “Give it to me!”
He put it in her hand and she smirked as if she had won. See, you're still giving it to me in the end.
However, he quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed the meat out of her hand again and tossed it into his mouth.
