Chapter 197 Beauty Loves Hero

"Mei Niang, what do you want from me?"

Dai Zhishang got off the black horse and trotted all the way to Hu Meiniang. Facing his ex-husband, he did not feel unnatural at all. Instead, he put his arms around Hu Meiniang's slender waist as if to show off.

Seeing this scene, Shu Mu's face changed. Although the incident between him and Hu Meiniang happened a long time ago, every time he recalled it, he would always have endless aftertastes.

Can't help but look forward to the next time!
Even though he was now severely beaten by Hu Meiniang, he did not feel the slightest resentment towards her.

In addition to the terror of Hu Meiniang, which made him dare not have any resentment towards her, what was more surprising was the unknown commotion.

Looking at Hu Meiniang's seductive appearance, how could he bear to blame Hu Meiniang?
His abdomen was in excruciating pain, his face was bruised like a pig's head, and he didn't know how many teeth were knocked out. He only blamed himself for not being able to speak.

period.

What he felt more was heartache. He wondered if Hu Meiniang's hand was hurt by slapping him for so long.

I never thought...

There was actually a man who was so ignorant of the danger that he dared to put his arms around Hu Meiniang's slender waist in front of him and even showed off in front of him.

The anger in Shu Mu's heart instantly rose up like a flame. He looked at Dai Zhishang coldly, with a gloomy face, and said in a bad tone: "Who are you, what is your background, and what is your achievement?"

"Dai Zhishang from Qingyang County, a scholar with great achievements!"

Dai Zhishang said coldly.

"Scholar? How dare you, a mere scholar, show off in front of me?"

Shu Mu's face was ferocious, as if he wanted to eat Dai Zhishang alive.

Although there is only one level difference between a scholar and a juren, the gap between them is harder than climbing to the sky. It may be a bit too much, but it is not that big of a difference.

Among hundreds or thousands of scholars, not even one can pass the imperial examination.

Scholar.

Unless the person was from a big family or had a powerful backer, he never took him seriously. He never thought that a small scholar would dare to be so arrogant in front of him.

It is true that a tiger in dire straits is bullied by a dog!

"Although my Dai Lang is just a small scholar, he is an excellent painter!"

Hu Meiniang snorted coldly. How could she not hear the anger in Shu Mu's words? With a thought, a painting appeared in her hand. She handed it over and said proudly:

"Do you have the ability to draw such a portrait?"

"I……"

Shu Mu subconsciously wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when he took the portrait handed to him by Hu Meiniang, opened it, and took the first glance, he was attracted by the beautiful person in the portrait.

It was none other than Hu Meiniang, but the portrait was more beautiful than the real person.

It's like bringing Hu Meiniang to life!

The sarcastic remark that was about to come out of his mouth was swallowed back.

Although Shu Mu looked down on scholars who had only the title of scholar, he might not admire those scholars who had abilities, even if they only had the title of scholar, but he still showed due respect to them.

Respecting capable people means respecting yourself and your own abilities.

"No wonder Mei Niang is with this little scholar and rides on the same horse with him. It turns out that she is attracted by his painting skills!"

Shu Mu snorted inwardly, his eyes filled with envy that was difficult to conceal.

He and Hu Meiniang had a brief romance, after all, they were both from the county town, and he was considered a well-known scholar in the county town. Hu Meiniang liked genius boys and strong people with extraordinary abilities the most!
just.

Their relationship did not last long, because after Hu Meiniang succeeded, she no longer felt any freshness from him.

Just kick him away!

During the peaceful years, there was nothing lacking, especially talented young men, who were everywhere. Hu Meiniang couldn't find anything new with him, so she would naturally look for other talented young men. However, the strong men in the county city would give her a sense of security.

Their relationship lasts forever!

This is also why Hu Meiniang was able to gain a foothold in the county city with her demon body. Some powerful people and talented young men in the county city had unclear relationships with Hu Meiniang.

Apart from being open in her relationships between men and women, Hu Meiniang had never done anything to harm anyone.

The people in the county town naturally wanted Hu Meiniang to stay, so how could they possibly expel her?

Ever since Hu Meiniang settled down in the county town, her romantic stories would be spread from time to time. The protagonists were either strong men in the county town or talented young men, which satisfied the curiosity of the people of the entire county town.

period.

There are also some underground gambling houses where people bet on any new talented young men in the county city as to whether they will be seduced by Hu Meiniang and how long it will take for them to be picked by Hu Meiniang.

Dai Zhishang is an excellent painter, not too old, and was born into a scholar family. He can be considered a genius. No wonder he is favored by Hu Meiniang.

He was a scholar who looked down on the title of scholar, but he also knew that not everyone could pass the examination to become a scholar. There were many scholars in their forties or fifties who only passed the examination, and even boys who did not pass the examination.

Dai Zhishang was probably in his twenties and was able to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.

How can it not be considered outstanding?

Hu Meiniang looked at the silent Shu Mu and sneered. She knew that he was stubborn and she was convinced in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud. She didn't say anything more and asked:
"Dai Lang, do you know this Taoist Xuanqing?"

Dai Zhishang nodded and said, "Mei Niang, I know Taoist Xuanqing!"

"Dai Lang, tell me what kind of person is this Taoist Xuanqing!"

Hu Meiniang asked.

"Mei Niang..."

Dai Zhishang told Hu Meiniang everything he had learned about Taoist Priest Xuanqing, and finally said:
"Master Xuanqing is a serious cultivator and was once a disciple of Ziyang Palace. He will never learn unorthodox methods!"

Before Hu Meiniang could even speak, Shu Mu angrily said, "You mean, what I just said was all false? I swear to heaven on my Shu family ancestors that I am lying?"

Having said that, Shu Mu's face was ferocious, and he glared at Dai Zhishang angrily. A righteous aura was overflowing from his body, and it was about to condense into a military general behind him.

He wanted to draw his bow and shoot Dai Zhishang!
"All right!"

Hu Meiniang shouted coldly, dispersing the Confucian warriors that had gathered behind Shumu, and said:
"Mr. Shu, look at your injuries. Go back and get treatment as soon as possible. Dai Lang, accompany me to meet Taoist Xuan Qing. I am very curious about why this former disciple of Zi Yang Palace would live in seclusion in this remote mountain area!"

"I also need to go!"

Shumu spoke first.

Hu Meiniang glanced at Shu Mu indifferently and said nothing.

"Mei--Madam Hu, I want to go meet that wild Taoist priest and ask him why he keeps teasing me. Does he really think that I, Shumu, am easy to bully?"

Shumu said indignantly.

Before Shu Mu uttered the word "Mei Niang", Hu Mei Niang glanced at him. He shuddered all over, remembering that unless one was close to Hu Mei Niang, he was not allowed to call her "Mei Niang", otherwise he would suffer the consequences.
