Chapter 36: I Assault You? You Assault Me, That

"Deal with me? Who'll deal with whom is still uncertain!"

Qiao Sheng gave Hu Cuicui a cold glance and said.

Look at Qiao Sheng being so overbearing.

Hu Cuicui's gaze fell on her face and began to speak.

"Qiao Lianhua, your current appearance is truly unsightly, a whole face covered, only two eyes showing."

"By the way, I heard two men have cherished you; aren't you about to give Shi Tou's younger siblings soon? Ah, they aren't the same father, how will you…"

Hu Cuicui hadn't finished speaking.

Qiao Sheng lifted a wooden stick from one side and struck.

Hu Cuicui couldn't dodge in time and got hit, but she didn't dare to confront Qiao Sheng; while running out she said, "Qiao Lianhua, wait for me, I'll settle things and come back!"

"Ugh, you're nothing!"

Qiao Sheng spat, patted Xiao Shitou's head and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, it's nothing, rest assured, none of us will be in trouble."

She comforted Xiao Shitou outwardly, but inside she was wondering what to do.

The next day, go to the town.

Qiao Sheng, for convenience, didn't bring Xiao Shitou; she entrusted him to Zhang Qiao's care, and as a reward gave Zhang Qiao ten coins.

She gave it in front of Zhang Qiao's in‑laws, so none of them said anything.

After all, it's money, isn't it?

Arriving at the town.

Qiao Sheng made inquiries, went to observe near the Zhao Family, and after watching outside for a long time she didn't see Zhao Yingjun nor Qiao Jinzhi appear.

She didn't stay there, left to deliver Yanghuai Flower to Li Dayin and the others.

Qiao Sheng today didn't use a backpack; she put the Yanghuai Flowers into a basket and carried it to them.

Halfway there.

Suddenly a man in black swooped down from a roof, coincidentally overturning Qiao Sheng's basket, scattering all the Yanghuai Flowers onto the ground.

"Sorry."

The man, after saying that, was about to fly away.

Qiao Sheng lunged, grabbed his ankle and pulled him back: "An 'sorry' is enough, why the Yamen business, give me…"

"Can't you see I have business? Aren't you just after money? Here, take it!"

The man tossed a silver coin to Qiao Sheng and ran.

The silver he gave was not little, but his tone was unpleasant, still saying that.

Qiao Sheng chased after him with the basket; when he tried to use Thus Technique: Lightness Skill to fly again, she pulled him back: "Who wants your money? Pick it up for me and then leave!"

Shi Lin, having lived eighteen years, was meeting a woman like Qiao Sheng for the first time; he suddenly approached and said, "If I don't pick it up, what can you do to me?"

Qiao Sheng threw a punch.

Shi Lin raised his hand and effortlessly grabbed Qiao Sheng's arm.

"Help! Someone is assaulting…"

Qiao Sheng shouted hoarsely.

Shi Lin covered her mouth with one hand and dragged her to a corner.

Just.

But Flower Qianqian, who was chasing after him, heard it.

Flower Qianqian swooped down, looked around, and her gaze fell on Shi Lin's hand gripping Qiao Sheng's leg; the two were extremely close.

"You two…"

Qiao Sheng blurted out, "He's being a scoundrel, he assaulted me…"

Shi Lin let out a snort of laughter.

He lowered Qiao Sheng's leg, and in a slightly mocking tone said, "Miss, you must misunderstand assault; with your looks, would I assault you? You assaulting me is about the same!"

Qiao Sheng: "…"

I really want to beat her, but I can't win!

Had I known it would be like this, I wouldn't have saved that bit of money, learning all those skills.

Qiao Sheng came to her senses and said, "Logically it's true, but you're not like ordinary people; you have a heavy taste and like someone like me. You say you didn't assault me, then why did you grab my leg just now?"

Indeed.

If it weren't like this, why would he grab her leg?

Flower Qianqian was also puzzled.

Shi Lin glanced at Flower Qianqian, opened his mouth and said, "I do have a heavy taste, but I didn't assault you; I just have my eye on you."
