Chapter 2181: Chapter 2089: Life Is Full of Schemes (Part 4)
Xia Weibao, "..."
Utter despair.
"Boss, how come there’s not a single horse?"
Xia Weibao clearly doesn’t believe it; someone must be targeting her, definitely!
With a suspicious glance, she looked at Lu Hualiang again. The more she looked, the more suspicious this man seemed, like a cunning fox.
Lu Hualiang chuckled as he lowered his head, "I don’t have money, it’s you who said you’d support me, yet you haven’t given me any money."
Everyone around instantly turned their gaze to Lu Hualiang.
Handsome and tall as he is, who would’ve thought he’s kept by a woman!
Such a blow to a man’s dignity!
Lu Liangliang has such thick skin, he remained unbothered by their looks.
It’s just a playful thing between him and the Empress, you don’t get it!
Xia Weibao withdrew her gaze; the more she looked at this man, the more inscrutable he became.
"Boss, really no horses left?"
The Horse Dealer Boss gestured helplessly, "Really none left, with the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch selection coming up, everyone from Jianghu is traveling. Our small town’s on the main route; everyone needs accommodation and horse swaps, simply not enough."
Xia Weibao pondered for a moment and thought it made some sense.
Could it be she’s imagining things?
No horses to buy meant she still had to ride with Lu Hualiang, which made Xia Weibao feel frustrated.
An inexplicable feeling of being schemed against!
The journey over several days was almost entirely spent in such setups.
Initially, Xia Weibao questioned Lu Hualiang about whether he was behind all this. But as things happened more often, she became accustomed.
Oh well, let it be. Anyway, he just takes advantage of minor things, hugging and kissing at most, nothing more excessive.
The Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch selection is held at Lingjian Villa, organized by the former Alliance Hierarch.
The rules are simple, just fighting; whoever has the hardest fist is the leader.
People in the martial world don’t have many rules, there’s no scheming, just looking at combat power.
In terms of combat power, Xia Weibao considers herself unmatched by many.
Except for Lu Hualiang.
Upon arriving at Lingjian Villa, disciples immediately approached to register them and arrange accommodation.
The disciple glanced at the hairpin on Xia Weibao’s head and then at the luggage all carried by Lu Hualiang, instantly understanding their relationship.
With a wave of his hand, he declared the two were a couple and would share a room.
"Two heroes, this is your room. Let us know if you need anything."
Xia Weibao entered, glanced around at the room’s setting, and thought it was quite nice and elegant, implying that the Manor Master of Lingjian Villa is a refined person.
After the guide left, she plopped down on the chair and hurriedly poured herself a glass of water, "I’m dying of thirst. Do you want some?"
Lu Hualiang also sat down and poured himself a glass of water.
Xia Weibao glanced towards the bed, "This bed is nice, quite big, bigger than the one we slept on last night..."
As she spoke, she realized something was wrong, "Wait! Why are we sharing the same room?!"
This is Lingjian Villa, not a guesthouse with only one room left; we can clearly sleep separately!
Habits are indeed frightening. Over the past few days of traveling, she had gotten used to eating and sleeping with Lu Hualiang, so much that she had forgotten to avoid suspicion.
While drinking his water, Lu Hualiang’s lips curved meaningfully.
Good, she’s already been subtly influenced.
Guess it won’t be long before she’s swayed away.
Xia Weibao considered asking for a different room, but knowing it’s Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch selection time, chaos ensues annually.
Some might resort to foul play to eliminate rivals.
It’s better to stay together for mutual care.
Since the journey had been shared both in food and lodging, a few more days wouldn’t matter.
