Chapter 305 - 301: The Battle of Zongming Mountain
Zongming Mountain Misfortune
"Unmarried fiancé?" Ling Chen was momentarily stunned.
He remembered that the porridge girl had been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, rarely venturing out. How could she suddenly have an unmarried fiancé? But then again, he realized, this was, after all, someone else’s private affair; why would she casually disclose it to an outsider? Still, the porridge girl’s words left him somewhat helpless. He was only concerned for a friend; was she overthinking things?
In the midst of his thoughts, he couldn’t resist stealing a glance at the porridge girl. Her face, delicate as a goose egg, with every contour seemingly sculpted with precision, was round and flawless. With a pert, aquiline nose and slender lips, her eyes were like pools of clear spring water, transparent and bright. Even without makeup, she was still stunning beyond compare.
Such a woman would make any man’s heart flutter.
Ling Chen gathered his thoughts and patiently explained, "Porridge girl, I mean no harm; don’t misunderstand, I consider you a friend..."
The porridge girl said coolly, "Master told me, when a man is obsequiously attentive to a woman for no reason, he’s either a villain or a thief. Besides my unmarried fiancé, I cannot accept any man’s concern."
Hearing these words, Ling Chen cursed inwardly, not knowing who the porridge girl’s Master was. Her Master didn’t teach her anything else, just this Anti-pervet Skill—how utterly amoral. A beauty like her, who wouldn’t want to be friends with her? And that mysterious fiancé of hers, what sort of man was he, what merits and capabilities did he have, to actually marry such a top-tier woman.
He opened his mouth, hesitated a moment, but ultimately, the words he intended to say were left unsaid. Since she was so averse to men’s care, he didn’t want to waste his breath, and turned back to He Ziyun’s side.
Little Hua said with a giggle, "Big brother, you got snubbed, didn’t you?"
