The Blessed (Book 1)

146. Ling Jingxuan VS Zeng Shaoqing

Although having seen all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women from different countries in his previous life, when he first saw Zeng Shaoqing, Ling Jingxuan still couldn’t feeling stunned. It lasted quite a few seconds, which one could tell how beautiful Zeng Shaoqing was. Compared with Chu Ci whose beauty surprised him, he looked even prettier, not, to be more exact, they were of different kind. Chu Ci’s beauty was cold and arrogant, which would keep someone a thousand li away. While this man before his eyes, his beauty was that kind of stunning feeling, so enchanting, and so seductive.

At the same time, during the few seconds he froze there, Zeng Shaoqing who was leaning on the couch also cast a quick glance at him. Strictly speaking, Ling Jingxuan was not that kind of first-sight looker, but his facial features were quite exquisite, that pair of long and thin phoenix eyes should be seducing, but they looked so sagacious and mysterious on his face. Once someone looked into his eyes, one would feel like being captured. Plus, the good food recently and the nutrition of the water from the Spring, his skin was so smooth and fair, which added more gracefulness and elegance to him, but…

What surprised Zeng Shaoqing most was his temperament, his not so tall figure made him look kind of slim, but the moment he appeared in the box, his momentum didn’t lose to anyone, including him, but even kind of above him. How could a farmer have such kind of imposing manner?

To this end, Zeng Shaoqing showed more interest under his eyes, clearly Ling Jingxuan was to his liking.

“Lord Liu, this is Childe Ling Ling Jingxuan.”

Seeing that both of them gave each other a fox-like smile, Shopkeeper Zhang couldn’t help sighing in the heart. At first, he thought Ling Jingxuan would have performance anxiety, after all Lord Liu was the real imperial family member, the cousin of the present emperor, son of the number duke. Even if he just sat there without moving a bit, others might feel scared in the heart, but…he acted as normal, like he completely had no idea of the other side’s background, but only took him as a common person.

“Brother Ling, Lord Liu is the owner of Xinyuan Restaurant.”

No matter how much surprised and helpless he felt in the heart, Shopkeeper Zhang still did his job and introduced them to each other.

Zeng Shaoqing slowly stood up from the couch, walked to Ling Jingxuan elegantly step by step. About less than half a meter place, he stopped, then held out a hand to hook his chin, “What a nice childe! I guess you still under twenty, right? You are not even scared on seeing me. I like it.”

“If you don’t want your hands to get rotton, you better behave!”

Without brushing off his hand or taking a step back, Ling Jingxuan slightly moved his body, with that pair of calm eyes coldly looking at him, with a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, but there was no smiling feeling in that pair of eyes at all, or you could say his eyes were freezing cold. Zeng Shaoqing who tried to molest him was stunned. Before he could react what he was indicating, the back of that hand started to feel extremely itchy. With a faint glance, he noticed that his delicate skin on the back of his hand already got reddened, with dense rashes on it. His eyes instantly darkened. He slowly took back his hand, turned to walk beside the table. The woman in green waiting on soon got a basin of cold water, knelt down to rinse it for him carefully.

“My lord, our detoxification powder is useless.”

After a moment, the woman looked up at him. She had already added the detoxification powder exclusive to the imperial palace in the water. Usual poison would be detoxified after washing with water. But the back of Zeng Shaoqing’s hand was still swollen like a pig hoof, and it looked like more and more serious.
