Chapter 17 – A Beauty’s Favour is the Hardest to Enjoy
Edited by DancingdolphinsYo
Under the situation where Wu Xingzi did not have ti to reject, nor was he able to reject, General Guan officially moved in, suffocating Adviser Wu.
The books said: A beauty’s favour was the hardest to enjoy.
Wu Xingzi had many feelings about this, and his feelings felt as though they were pervading into his bones! There was no way he would be able to go to the?Peng?Society. Guan Shanjin was following him daily, they ate together, slept together, and even when he went to the magistrate’s office, he was right there behind him. At first, the county magistrate had planned on chasing that extraneous person away, but who would have guessed that they would freeze upon seeing each other! Delighted, the magistrate quickly made his way towards them, bowing deeply at Guan Shanjin.
“Haiwang-xiongAn ancient Chinese mythological creature.?] before?” Galloping was forbidden in the city, so Guan Shanjin leisurely allowed the horse to make its way through the streets. Only occasionally would he then tug on the reins to direct it.
“House of?Taotie?” Wu Xingzi gasped, his eyes about to fall out of his sockets.
House of?Taotie?was the most famous and the most expensive restaurant in Goose City! Even amongst the top families in Goose City, not everyone had the chance to eat in House of?Taotie. It was not a matter of money, but it was the strange personality of the owner. If he did not like the custor, he would refuse them service and even get his staff to chase them out.
As for how he decided if he liked them, the criteria was both difficult and easy. It was by their appearances.
Wu Xingzi turned to look at Guan Shanjin. Due to their positions, he was only able to see skin that was as fair as jade, a well portioned and marvellous looking neck, a chin that looked perfect no matter how he looked at it, and a bit of the red lips that were like petals of a blossom.
If Guan Shanjin decided to demolish House of?Taotie, it was highly likely that the owner would joyfully watch the beauty demolish the place.
However… Wu Xingzi sighed, touching his own face.
“Why? Afraid that the owner of House of?Taotie?would chase you out of the doors?” Guan Shanjin saw through him imdiately, laughing lowly and biting him on his ear lobe. “Don’t worry. The owner of House of?Taotie?is my childhood buddy. With my protection, he wouldn’t dare to touch you.” So they were childhood friends… Wu Xingzi was not surprised hearing this. If it was a few months ago, he would definitely be shocked, but Guan Shanjin was born in a top aristocratic family, and so it was expected that he would know these wealthy and powerful businessn.
It took him no ti to get used to it. It was remarkable how people could adapt!
The horse proceeded and they soon arrived outside House of?Taotie. A staff was waiting by the door, and seeing Guan Shanjin in the distance, he quickly ran over, greeting warmly, “This must be General Guan? The owner welcos you in.”
“Mn.” Guan Shanjin was calm, and hugging Wu Xingzi, he leapt off the horse and handed the reins over to the staff as he instructed him, “Zhu Xing has a fierce temper. There’s no need to tie him up, he won’t run away.”
“Your humble servant understands. General, please make your way inside.” The staff hurriedly gestured at soone inside. A middle-aged man looking like the manager walked out slowly, his appearance clean and fair. In between his brows, there was an awe-inspiring air, attracting everyone’s eyes.
“General Guan.” The manager cupped his hands towards Guan Shanjin. “The owner has assigned this humble servant to welco the general.”
“Lead the way.” ?Guan Shanjin glanced at the manager, not paying much attention to him. Instead, he looked down and helped Wu Xingzi straighten his lapels, drawing his finger across his nose. “What’s wrong? You look like you’re in another world.”
Of course he was! There was a beauty! Wu Xingzi looked at the manager, his face flushing slightly. Although he was honest, he did have an admiration for beauty. Why else would he always be gripped tightly by Guan Shanjin’s appearance?
Also, he always preferred the sort of gentle, mild n.
The manager had also noticed his gaze and reservedly looked at him, frowning slightly. “If I may ask the general, who is this?”
“Adviser Wu from Qingcheng County.” Guan Shanjin’s answer was very casual. Pulling Wu Xingzi into his arms, he headed into the restaurant.
“May the general forgive us, however, House of?Taotie?has its house rules. Adviser Wu has an outstanding temperant, but…” The manager’s eyes were cold, even a little disgusted, and he was unwilling to look directly at Wu Xingzi.
Wu Xingzi had always been self-aware and did not feel insulted by the manager’s attitude. He only had a look of “told you so”, and shrugged at Guan Shanjin.
“You were just salivating over him, and now that person is looking down on you. Don’t you know how to get angry?” Guan Shanjin burst out laughing at Wu Xingzi’s attitude. Bending down, he kissed his brow then turned towards the manager, speaking coldly, “You don’t have the right to ask anything about who I want to bring into House of?Taotie. Ask Su Yang to co and speak with .”
“The owner is waiting inside for the general. General, please…” The manager was about to continue, only to hear a soft sound of tal sliding against tal, and a cold, sharp feeling on his neck. By the ti he regained his wits, he realised that there was a gleaming dark sword pointing at his throat.
“Ask Su Yang to speak with .” Guan Shanjin’s tone was soft, but pressed on like an evil spirit. The manager broke out in a cold sweat, almost unable to stand.
“I was wondering why you still hadn’t gone in. You’ve even unsheathed?Chenyuan?Sword?” Following that voice was a man who seed to have just co of age recently. A person would not be able to help thinking “On the street this man was like jade, and he had no equal” upon seeing him.
Adviser Wu, who loved looking at beauties, naturally could not drag his eyes away.
“Don’t look. This person is the epito of not all that glitters is gold. Your eyes will only hurt after looking at him.” Guan Shanjin shielded Wu Xingzi’s eyes, his voice full of scorn.
“Hah, if we were to compare who is worse than trash, when General Guan declares himself in the second place, there would be no one in the world who would dare take the first place.” Su Yang, the owner of House of?Taotie?spat laughingly. However, when his eyes fell upon Wu Xingzi, he did not conceal the unhappiness in his eyes. “This is?”
“Adviser Wu from Qingcheng County.” Guan Shanjin introduced him again and cut Su Yang off. “He’s under , you better think about it.” What he ant was,?you better think about whether your throat would be able to withstand?Chenyuan?Sword.
Su Yang’s brows creased. He reached out and touched his fair and flawless neck, and could only give in. “Co on in, the food’s waiting for you.”
