Feng Cang’s red lips were now also in a tight line. Although Murong Qi Qi gave him an assuring gaze, he still couldn’t help but worry.
Even if the two signed an agreement between life and death, even if Murong Qi Qi couldn’t compare to Guli, saving her is an easy matter. However, knives don’t have eyes. If before this, Guli hurt Murong Qi Qi, then what should he do?
Feng Cang didn’t have any interest in Guli. She’s just a slut. Killing her would be as easy as trampling an ant. Feng Cang was only concerned about Murong Qi Qi. If she became injured, even if it’s only scratching the skin, he didn’t know how bad he would feel.
“Wangye, it doesn’t matter. I’m fine.”
Sensing Feng Cang become worried, Murong Qi Qi’s small hand wrote the word ‘heart’ on his palm.
“Always, it has been wangye who protected me. I’m very grateful. But today’s matter involves wangye, I can’t hide behind wangye anymore. She’s being so aggressive, really looks down on people! Besides, my heart has wangye, I won’t surrender wangye freely to another. So, I won’t refuse this duel. However, wangye can be at ease. When I was in Jing Xin An, a master has taught me a thing or two. Although, it can’t be compared to those who have practiced for many years, but protecting myself is no problem!”
Murong Qi Qi said it very reservedly, but Feng Cang could see the intention to kill in her eyes. Suddenly, the tension in his heart relaxed by half.
Could it be that his little wangfei had been enduring because nobody forced her too much?
Murong Qi Qi saying that she won’t surrender him freely to another, made Feng Cang heart feel as sweet as eating candied fruit. It seemed, she did it for him, ah! This little woman’s possessiveness was really strong. If it wasn’t because Guli forced her today, presumably she would have continued to pretend to be a small white rabbit! He had long wondered why the little white rabbit Murong Qi Qi would occasionally have the gaze of a leopard. It seemed that she even kept it from him!
“Qing Qing, I believe you.”
Feng Cang let people prepare ink and paper. He personally wrote the agreement and handed it to Murong Qi Qi.
“Qing Qing, sign your name!”
“No!”
Seeing Feng Cang like this, Longze Jing Tian blocked loudly and stood up.
“Nan Lin wang, princess Zhao Yang doesn’t how to use martial arts and also doesn’t know martial arts. You obviously know this, so why do you still push her out to duel with somebody? Isn’t this equal to letting her go die?!”
Before, when Longze Jing Tian saw Feng Cang’s and Murong Qi Qi’s interaction, his heart choked badly. Obviously, the one standing at her side should be him, why did it now change to Feng Cang? Why?!
Whenever he thought about before, when Jin Mo let Longze Jing Tian misunderstand Murong Qi Qi and let him write the ‘break off engagement’ letter, he would get very annoyed. And then after remembering Jin Mo was Feng Cang’s subordinate, this matter probably had something to do with Feng Cang; the question that had troubled Longze Jing Tian finally got an answer.
Why was Jin Mo at Xi Qi’s capital Xiliang at that time? Why did Jin Mo pretend to be Lian gongzi3 and went to treat Duanmu Yi Yi? Could it be that the one behind it was Feng Cang?! Longze Jing Tian’s mind was rapidly turning at this moment. If all of these was ordered by Feng Cang, then what motive did Feng Cang have? Could it be just to let him break off the engagement and get Murong Qi Qi?
However, time didn’t allow Longze Jing Tian to think more about the motive. Seeing Feng Cang let Murong Qi Qi sign the agreement, Longze Jing Tian couldn’t hold it in any longer. He stood up to protest fairness for Murong Qi Qi.
In Longze Jing Tian’s eyes; at this time, Murong Qi Qi needed someone’s protection the most.
What ‘learned a thing or two from a master’? Could that thing or two be compared to Guli?! Others may not know about this Guli, but Longze Jing Tian knew.
This woman’s name was very infamous in Nan Feng because of her unrestrained behavior. She liked men and her methods were very vicious. She had been given the nickname ‘witch Guli’. Whichever man she took a fancy to, she would use all methods to get him. If she couldn’t get him, she’d kill him in a cruel manner. Today, she had set her eyes on Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi is obviously at disadvantage, ah!
Now letting Murong Qi Qi duel with Guli, was it not like an egg touching a stone?!
“Qi Qi, do not participate in this duel!”
Longze Jing Tian stood between Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang. He glared at Feng Cang.
“Nan Lin wang, my Xi Qi sent princess Zhao Yang with the sincerity to form a marriage alliance. But you repeatedly made things difficult for princess Zhao Yang. Now, you’re pushing princess Zhao Yang into a pit of fire, what does your Bei Zhou mean by that?”
“If you don’t want to form a marriage alliance, you can just say so. We’ll certainly bring princess Zhao Yang back. Why do you need to push princess Zhao Yang onto the road of death?! Letting princess Zhao Yang duel with a contestant of the tournament of the four countries, a duel between life and death at that; could it be that Nan Lin wang is borrowing someone else’s sword to kill?!”
Longze Jing Tian said those words very righteously, but it made Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi frown.
In Murong Qi Qi’s point of view, this Longze Jing Tian’s brain definitely went into water and has problems to be saying those strange words. Did he regard himself as the wearing underwear on the outside Superman?
Putting on a morally stern face. She wasn’t a princess who fell into the mouth of a monster and waiting for a knight to come save her. She didn’t need Longze Jing Tian to speak out for her. And what is borrowing someone’s else sword to kill? These words were very hard to listen to! Really giving a dog a bad name and then hanging him.
Giving a dog a bad name and then hanging him: ruin someone’s reputation and they will never be able to re-establish themselves.
And Feng Cang, the vinegar jar in his heart had just been knocked over.
Eating vinegar in Chinese means getting jealous.
From the moment Longze Jing Tian appeared, he (FC) felt the way this man looked at Murong Qi Qi was very different. As a man, meeting a woman he liked and how he looked at her, Feng Cang had already experienced it. So, he understood.
Although Li Yun Qing’s gaze was also not right, but he didn’t express it. Longze Jing Tian looked like someone who had their favorite toy taken away and was now feeling regret. There’s a strong predatory taste. It’s a gaze of when a hunter encountered a prey! Could it be that he regretted it? However, now Murong Qi Qi was his wangfei. This shameless person. He wanted to incite disharmony in their relationship!

TL note: At first, I thought a literary challenge was like competing with poems or something like that. But it turned out that literary challenge was also about fighting. The only difference is that literary challenge doesn’t use inner energy and martial arts challenge does.
Wang/wangye: prince of the first rank
Wangfei: main wife/consort of first-rank prince

Not waiting for Longze Jing Tian to say more nonsense, Feng Cang gave him who was standing in the middle, a kick and pulled Murong Qi Qi into his arms. He used action to show ownership of this woman.
“Jing wang, please mind your words a bit. First of all, princess Zhao Yang is benwang’s wangfei. This fact will never change. Benwang will cherish her like how I cherish my eyes. Don’t need you to worry about it. Second, this is princess Zhao Yang’s and Guli’s duel. Benwang as princess Zhao Yang’s husband will wholeheartedly support and believe her. Benwang won’t doubt any decision princess Zhao Yang makes. Third, no matter how benwang is, Jing wang can’t control it. She is benwang’s wangfei. Jing wang, please remember your identity.”
Feng Cang’s words were overbearing and arrogant. Immediately, Longze Jing Tia
n’s expression turned bad. However, what can he do? It’s him who gave up on Murong Qi Qi. It’s he who personally pushed Murong Qi Qi to others. All fault lay on him and has nothing to do with others.
It’s just, he couldn’t accept it, he just couldn’t accept it!
The strange atmosphere between the two wang’s spread out. A smoke of a fight will break out made the whole scene exceptionally quiet. Everyone stared at Feng Cang and Longze Jing Tian.
These two, one is Bei Zhou’s Nan Lin wang; the other is Xi Qi’s Jing wang. Their relation became so troubled, was actually because of princess Zhao Yang, making everyone’s gaze once again fell onto Murong Qi Qi.
Features are ordinary, medium pretty. What does she have to let two of the world’s most outstanding men have a dispute because of her? Could it be that now the taste of men changed? Now they like the ones like Murong Qi Qi?
The people at the scene have heard about the matter of Murong Qi Qi being rejected. It’s this Jing wang who wrote the breaking engagement letter. But now looking at him, could he has regretted? However, in the world there’s no medicine for regret! Not to mention, everyone could see the love in Feng Cang’s and Murong Qi Qi’s eyes. What did Longze Jing Tian mean by this? Want to slander Feng Cang’s reputation to get the beauty’s heart? This thing is not easy to handle!
The atmosphere became awkward because of the two’s dispute. Just as when everyone was waiting to see how Longze Jing Tian will continue to ‘protect’ Murong Qi Qi, Murong Qi Qi kowtowed slightly at Longze Jing Tian: “Thanking Jing wang for your care! It’s just I accepted this duel willingly and has nothing to do with wangye. Asking Jing wang to not misunderstand wangye because of me.”
Murong Qi Qi’s attitude was very clear. Every sentence was protecting Feng Cang. The tangling hearts of the commoners were now completely relaxed. That’s right! No matter how good Jing wang is, how could he be better than their wangye?! Princess Zhao Yang has good eyes!
Everyone forgot about those rumors of Feng Cang. To the people, this is a battle for princess Zhao Yang’s hand between Bei Zhou’s and Xi Qi’s wangye. As Bei Zhou’s citizens, naturally they hope Feng Cang wins. This is now related to the nation’s sense of honor. And now, Murong Qi Qi’s resolute attitude made the good feelings people have for her went to a level higher!
The battle between the two men ended with Feng Cang winning the beauty! The couple, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, already got the recognition of the people. And this, made Guli extremely upset. She couldn’t help but knock on the table with the hilt of her dagger.
“Hey, hey, hey, are we still dueling or not? Don’t waste my time!”
“Duel,” Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi said at the same time. Murong Qi Qi signed her name and put a thump print on the life and death agreement. Then she handed the agreement at Guli. Guli swept over it once and humphed coldly. She also wrote her name and put her print on it.
“Let’s go out and duel. Here, there are too many people and the place is too narrow. It won’t be good if we injure an innocent person.”
After saying that, Murong Qi Qi walked to the outside. Guli has no requirements for the site, so she also went out.
Princess Zhao Yang and Nan Feng’s participant would duel spread throughout Cyclamen and the surroundings shop. Everyone flicked to the streets to watch. looking at the two women in red, the commoners began to talk about them.
“I heard princess Zhao Yang doesn’t know martial arts. Now she signed the agreement between life and death, what will she do later? Is there now not only death waiting for her?”
“Wangye finally encountered a woman he loves, how would he let something happen to her?! Rest assured, wangye will certainly help her!”
“Although princess Zhao Yang is not as beautiful as that prostitute, but she’s more pleasing to the eyes. I still hope princess Zhao Yang wins!”
Guli’s hearing is not bad. Obviously, the evaluation the people has for Murong Qi Qi was higher than hers. Also, there were some people wishing for Murong Qi Qi to win. This point let her particularly not happy. How could she lost to a rubbish?! Absolutely impossible!
The streets were covered with a thick layer of snow. Murong Qi Qi and Guli were only ten meters apart. Both were in red. However, Guli looked hot and seductive, while Murong Qi Qi looked like a red flower in the snow with a very noble aura.
“Silence……”
A long voice let all the onlookers quieted down. The duel was about to begin. Everyone’s heart was like in their throats and wanted to see what the result of this duel will be. Although everyone hoped for Murong Qi Qi to win, but the reality was not controlled by people’s mind.
Guli’s weapon is a two-edged sword which was black without a trace of decoration. It’s a very good sword. And Murong Qi Qi’s weapon was just a red muslin.
When Murong Qi Qi took out her weapon, everyone was startled.
The opponent is using a good sword, why did Murong Qi Qi came out with a red muslin? Can this soft muslin be able to withstand a sword?
“Ah……”
Seeing Murong Qi Qi’s ‘weapon’, Guli laughed.
“Lady, this is a duel and not a dance show. You came up with a muslin; is it that you are half-heartedly having this duel or is it that you’re playing a joke on me?”
“Just now, I said your head has a problem, it indeed has a problem! Being halfhearted or playing a joke, is this not in your advantage?! Dealing with you, a big breasted without brain milk cow, I only need to think with my toes. Taking a weapon out will be like lifting your level up!”
“You!”
Murong Qi Qi’s poisonous tongue let Guli choke.
“Very well! I will see if you’ve real ability or not!”
A breeze passed. Guli like a red frog stepping on the snow, went up at Murong Qi Qi. That black sword against the snow background truly have a cold aura. The first attack was already explosive strong. Everyone’s heart temporarily stopped beating. This is bad! This time princess Zhao Yang be ruined!
Everyone was worried about Murong Qi Qi’s safety, but this woman didn’t move a bit. She stood quietly on the snow as if she isn’t aware of the danger.
“Be careful……,” Li Yun Qing couldn’t help but shout. It’s just that his voice just fell, Guli was already in front of Murong Qi Qi.
“Ah……,” Seeing that Murong Qi Qi still didn’t dodge, Guli laughed evilly. Like this, she will get her head with one stroke! Let this arrogant woman go meet the king of hell.
“Go die!”
Not waiting for Guli to finish, Murong Qi Qi moved sideways and went through Guli’s empty left hand to Guli’s back. The person who was in front of her just now, suddenly disappeared made Guli’s heart startled. Then she felt pan at her butt. Murong Qi Qi directly kicked at her rounded butt. This kick was extremely neat and the power was violent. Guli staggered and fell on the ground with her face down.
“The first strike, kick the evil dog!”
Murong Qi Qi clapped and put her hands on her waist. Her appearance looked cute as if she didn’t see Guli’s embarrassment.
“Hahaha!”
Guli fell very tragically and the name Murong Qi Qi gave this strike was extremely funny. The people whose heart was originally hanging, laughed out loudly. Immediately, the atmosphere eased down.
“Ah!”
Li Yun Qing laughed while shaking his head. How could he has forgotten that this girl’s kungfu on kicking people is very good? In the past, she kicked Duanmu Yi Yi in the lake. He didn’t expect that now she will resort to this at her first stroke.
It’s just, is that stroke really that simple? At that moment, they were so close. She flashed to Guli’s back with such a speed and also used such a strength to kick the other side; is this Murong Qi Qi really someone who doesn’t even have the strength to trust a chicken? The doubts in Li Yun Qing’s heart once again expanded. The way he looked at Murong Qi Qi became more profound.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Guli
drank a mouthful of blood. She stood up and immediately spit it out. However, the face because of the violent collision with the ground, became very red. It looked like there was a red biscuit hanging on her face. It looked very funny and her appearance reduced with five points. And at her naval cavity, she felt two stream of warmth. The next moment, two rows of nosebleed sprayed out tainting her lips and chin.
“Are you really a contestant of Nan Feng? How come you are so useless? You didn’t use bribery to become a contestant, right? You bragged so much, but in fact you are not much, ah!”
Murong Qi Qi took the opportunity to be sarcastic at Guli, making Guli so angry her whole body trembled. She wiped the blood on her nose, pulled two clothes to plug in her nose. The sword in her hand once again raised.
“Bitch! I’m going to kill you!”
Guli jumped. The sword in her hand stabbed in the direction of Murong Qi Qi. She looked like a red arc in a painting, rushing at Murong Qi Qi. However, she didn’t get near to Murong Qi Qi yet, when Murong Qi Qi turned, stepped on the snow and left the dangerous place.
Murong Qi Qi’s posture was very light. The jump looking like a running deer in the wilderness. The murderous aura in Guli intensified. That red figure chased after Murong Qi Qi, pressing harder and harder.
Two red dots like a race, chased in the snow. Murong Qi Qi didn’t fight, so Guli could only chase. Murong Qi Qi seemed to be deliberately teasing Guli. She went around a circle in the snow repeatedly. She only dodged. From time to time, in the air came the laughter of Murong Qi Qi with was like music as if this wasn’t a life and death duel but a play of catch me if you can.
“Till when do you want to dodge?! If you have the guts, then duel with me!”
Although Guli practice martial arts and she has a good condition, but after running in a circle for a dozen times, she was sure Murong Qi Qi was playing with her. She’s clearly delaying time and didn’t want to fight with her!
After ten laps, plus the fact that her rib was broken by Feng Cang, Guli’s breathing obviously became a lot shorter. She kept breathing and the chest also felt painful because of this. Despicable! Looking at the not far away laughing Murong Qi Qi, Guli cursed in her heart. She (MQQ) obviously knew her rib was broken and need a quick fix, but Murong Qi Qi didn’t fight with her. Instead, she (MQQ) consumed her (G) physical strength. Really too despicable!
