Chapter 49: This Is Called Sincerity

"Xu Shixiong Sister, you are becoming younger and more beautiful recently! And this golden phoenix hairpin today really sets off your hairstyle and this dress, it really has the effect of adding the finishing touch!"

In the backyard of the Yaohua Building, seeing Liu Xiao Qiang, who was charming and fascinating, with a piece of soft gauze wrapped around her chest, and waves undulating with every breath, Xia Daoming immediately stepped forward with a full smile and praised her.

"Is that so? Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong really has an eye for beauty. This golden phoenix hairpin was specifically made for me by Master Feng of the Die Feng Building a few days ago, and I only got it today!"

Seeing Xia Daoming praise her golden phoenix dangling hairpin, Liu Xiao Qiang's pair of peach-blossom eyes instantly lit up. She first touched the hairpin lightly with her hand, then, in a move that broke all precedent, twisted her waist to step forward and intimately hooked her arm through his.

"Xu Shixiong Sister, spare me! With a beauty like you who has a figure, a face, and temperament, linking me like this, I am afraid I will lose my composure!" Xia Daoming felt the softness he touched, and showed an exaggerated bitter face.

"Pfft~ Less of that! You brat are surrounded by young and beautiful women every day, especially that Lian'er who even makes me want to be moved, and you will lose your composure just by being linked by me?" Liu Xiao Qiang rolled her eyes at Xia Daoming, but her hand linked him even tighter.

"Xu Shixiong Sister, you really don't know how great your charm is! To say it without exaggeration, it kills both men and women, young and old!" Xia Daoming opened his mouth and praised her again.

"Giggle!" Liu Xiao Qiang was so praised by Xia Daoming's style from another world that she couldn't help but laugh out loud, laughing until she was trembling, and later couldn't help but rest her forehead on his shoulder.

"This..."

This scene made the singing girls, dancing girls, and zither players who were familiar with Liu Xiao Qiang's style and behavior stare dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

And Yuchi Xiao, Zhuo Xingji, and Jiao Yongbao almost dropped their chins.

"I say Xingji, you are a regular at the Yaohua Building, has Xia Shidi Sister Liu ever treated you like this?" Yuchi Xiao bumped Zhuo Xingji with his elbow and asked.

His tiger eyes, however, stared at Xia Daoming's arm stuck in the waves, full of envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Liu Xiao Qiang had a pretty face, a graceful figure, and a charming temperament. When the senior and junior brothers of the Hidden Dragon Qianjiao Wu Guan first saw her, they were all fascinated by her and launched fierce pursuits.

But because Liu Xiao Qiang was a female relative of an official exiled to Li Cheng and had a painful past she couldn't bear to look back on, she was playful and scolding to Yuchi Xiao and others, seemingly casual and intimate, but in some aspects, she was actually keeping them at a distance.

After Yuchi Xiao and others hit a wall several times, they understood Liu Xiao Qiang's personality and put away those thoughts, just being simple senior and junior brothers and sisters.

However, back then, Gu Ren, who considered himself naturally gifted and handsome, had once been persistent for a long time, but ultimately failed, which was a bit of a blow to Gu Ren, who was proud and self-reliant on his handsomeness.

As it turned out, Xia Daoming, this brat, had only been here for less than a year, and Liu Xiao Qiang actually took the initiative to link his arm.

"Nonsense! How is this possible? You don't know Xia Shidi Sister's personality!" Zhuo Xingji said angrily, feeling so frustrated in his heart!

He was not only Liu Xiao Qiang's fellow disciple, but also a wealthy patron of the Yaohua Building!

"Xia Shidi Sister, you are being biased. Before, you were never this intimate with us!" Jiao Yongbao said with a hint of "resentment" on his smiling face.

"Nonsense, you guys come to the Yaohua Building, and your eyeballs are all attracted by the girls. Which one of you has ever truly cared about your Xia Shidi Sister?" Liu Xiao Qiang rolled her eyes, and her hand linked Xia Daoming even tighter.

"Heaven and earth conscience, how could we not care about Xia Shidi Sister!" The three of them spoke almost at the same time.

"Then what do the three Xu Shixiong Brothers think is different about Xia Shidi Sister today?" Liu Xiao Qiang threw a flirtatious look at the three of them and made a gesture.

The three of them stared at Liu Xiao Qiang for a long time, then looked at each other, and finally Jiao Yongbao hardened his head and opened his mouth with a smile first: "Xia Shidi Sister's appearance is charming today, even better than before!"

"Right, right, charming appearance, even better than before." Yuchi Xiao and Zhuo Xingji hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, alright, you guys just stop pretending. What charming appearance, even better than before, none of you are sincere!" Liu Xiao Qiang rolled her eyes at the three of them.

"Where are we not sincere!" The three were unconvinced.

"Humph, if you were sincere, you come to the Yaohua Building every few days, how could you not notice that Xia Shidi Sister changed a new hairpin today?

Look at Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong Daoming, he doesn't come often, but as soon as he comes, he discovers that I am wearing a new hairpin today! This is called sincerity, this is called having Xia Shidi Sister in your eyes, unlike you guys, as soon as you step into the Yaohua Building, your eyeballs don't know where they are drifting."

Liu Xiao Qiang rolled her eyes again, and linked Xia Daoming even tighter.

Yuchi Xiao and the three were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

The three of them were big rough men, who would care about what hairpin a woman wears!

While Yuchi Xiao and the other two were left dumbfounded, Xia Daoming was also cursing inwardly.

He was just upholding the social principles of his previous life: don't praise people in general terms, don't be a "universal oil," be specific, so it seems sincere.

For example, if a woman is carrying a new bag, praising her bag is even more pleasing than praising her beauty.

Or if a woman is holding a cute little dog in her arms, touching it and praising it for being cute makes it very easy to shorten the distance, and maybe one day there will be a chance to touch her.

Just now, when Liu Xiao Qiang walked over, she would touch her hairpin from time to time, as if afraid it would fall off inadvertently. Xia Daoming naturally got used to praising her golden phoenix hairpin.

As it turned out, Liu Xiao Qiang had never been praised so precisely and delicately in her life, and she was praised right into her heart, and she looked at this Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong Xia with different eyes.

Xu Shixiong Sister, you are the boss of the hook-and-crook, how can you be so simple!

After the "WTF," Xia Daoming couldn't help but sigh again.

"Eh, Xu Shixiong Jiao, you have cultivated dark energy? No wonder you are spending money to treat us today!" Xia Daoming couldn't bear to see the three Xu Shixiong Brothers suffer a blow, his eyeballs turned, and he landed on Jiao Yongbao, then said with a face full of "surprise."

Jiao Yongbao was originally a genius disciple of the Hidden Dragon Qianjiao Wu Guan, but later had an accident, and his martial arts had no hope of improvement, so he abandoned martial arts for business.

After Liang Jingtang obtained the Longevity Jade Liquid, he privately distributed some to him.

Jiao Yongbao took a small amount of Longevity Jade Liquid every day, and as a result, his blood energy and vitality were rejuvenated, and he condensed dark energy again.

Besides Jiao Yongbao, Yuchi Xiao and Zhuo Xingji also received some.

They were both fifth-rank Great Martial Masters and were in their prime, but they had passed their peak blood energy period, but they were far from the rate of rapid decline. If they could get Longevity Jade Liquid, stabilize for a few years, they might have hope for the sixth-rank realm.

As for Liu Xiao Qiang, she was older and was only a fourth-rank Wu Shi, and she didn't have the talent like Jiao Yongbao. Even if she were given some Longevity Jade Liquid, it would only have the effect of nourishing and beautifying, and delaying the aging of her appearance.

And Longevity Jade Liquid was very precious, Liang Jingtang ultimately couldn't bear to waste it and didn't distribute it to Liu Xiao Qiang.

"Tsk! You can even see this? No wonder you could easily defeat Xu Shixiong Yuchi!" Jiao Yongbao was shocked upon hearing this.

"One thing is one thing, why are you comparing me? Come, come, we haven't sparred for a long time, how about we go a few moves today?" Yuchi Xiao's large palm slapped Jiao Yongbao's shoulder fiercely and said.

"Cough, cough, Xu Shixiong, be gentle, be gentle, I finally cultivated a bit of dark energy, don't shake it away." Jiao Yongbao hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Get lost, if I were that powerful, could I be easily defeated by Daoming?" Yuchi Xiao stared.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

With this laugh, Liu Xiao Qiang took the initiative to let go and went to arrange for the girls.

This made Xia Daoming secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Shixiong Sister Liu has a lot of material!

Soon, Liu Xiao Qiang brought several girls who were close to Yuchi Xiao and the three back to the private room.

She herself sat next to Xia Daoming and accompanied him personally, making Yuchi Xiao and the three green with envy, but there was nothing they could do.

Who told Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong Xia to be so good at picking up girls!

Looking at women without looking at chests or legs, but looking at the golden phoenix hairpin on their heads, they had to be convinced!

However, Xia Daoming was a bit unnatural.

Originally, he came here to drink, listen to music, which was quite leisurely and quite sage-like.

But today Liu Xiao Qiang sat next to him, and those watery peach blossom eyes threw a few flirtatious looks from time to time, which really made him a bit fired up.

"Xu Shixiong Sister, your Yaohua Building's business seems to have faded a lot!" Xia Daoming couldn't bear the teasing and started to change the subject.

"Alas, isn't it! Now the situation in Li Cheng is getting more and more chaotic, and people are living in fear, so who has the heart to come to the hook-and-crook to listen to music? Even those who come are all desperate people, with irritable tempers, and are hard to serve.

This business is getting harder and harder to do. If it weren't for considering that with the Yaohua Building here, the sisters below would have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, I really wouldn't want to continue doing it." Liu Xiao Qiang sighed, with a face full of worry. ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
