Chapter 187 Teasing
“What you said is not wrong,” Nangong Ming nodded in agreement. Such things were indeed common in the mansion and were not anything new.
He thought about it for a moment and argued, "However, it can't be said to be absolute. Not all grand mansions are filled with scheming. For example, such incidents have never happened in my household. My father never took a concubine, so there are no such scheming and intrigues in the mansion."
“That’s a very small minority,” Long Chuqing said lightly. “The martial world is still more fun, free and unrestrained, without so many domestic troubles.”
After hearing what she said, Nangong Ming became curious again: "From what you're saying, could it be that you've been traveling the martial arts world all this time?"
“Yes…” Long Chuqing answered without hesitation, “I like to travel around, see the scenery of different places, and experience the local customs and culture. If I stayed in one place for a long time, life would be so boring!”
"How often do you go home? Don't your family look for you? How can they let you go out and make your own way in the world alone?"
Long Chuqing said calmly, "Didn't you investigate my background?"
"Yes, I did check, but I didn't find any information. So, I suspect you're an unregistered resident, or that 'Long Chuqing' isn't your real name."
Hearing this, Long Chuqing scoffed: "Unregistered resident? That's a fitting description. I was indeed unregistered here before, but things are different now. You can investigate again; I'm no longer unregistered!"
"I suppose the King of Qin resolved this for you?"
Long Chuqing nodded: "Yes, that's exactly right."
Nangong Ming pressed on, "Don't try to change the subject yet! You haven't answered my question!"
"I haven't been home for a long time. My home is in a very far place, and I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to go back in this lifetime."
"Why do you say that?" Nangong Ming was puzzled after hearing her words. Her home was in a very far place? He wondered if she could go back?
He unconsciously reached out his right hand and gently stroked his chin, as if trying to figure out the reason for something.
He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Long Chuqing opposite him: "Let me guess, could it be that you are not from this dynasty?"
"Actually, they were spies sent by another country, their 'mission' to infiltrate the King of Qin's inner circle, bewitch him, and then steal the dynasty's confidential intelligence?"
"If you can't complete the tasks assigned to you by the organization, you won't be able to explain yourself to your superiors, so you said you don't know if you'll have a chance to go back? Is that right?"
After listening to his analysis, Long Chu couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha... you really know how to guess, your imagination is a bit too rich!"
Looking at her unrestrained laughter, Nangong Ming's face, which had been carrying a hint of mockery, instantly revealed a sense of embarrassment.
At this moment, Long Chuqing was laughing heartily, her cheerful and clear laughter filling the small carriage.
Just as Nangong Ming was at his wits' end with her laughter, suddenly, Long Chuqing abruptly stopped laughing.
She looked up at Nangong Ming sitting opposite her. Her eyes, which had been full of smiles, suddenly turned fierce and sharp, revealing a chilling glint.
Before Nangong Ming could react to Long Chuqing's sudden change, she flashed and appeared beside him.
The next moment, Nangong Ming's acupoints were sealed by Long Chuqing, rendering him unable to move.
At the same time, her right hand was already tightly gripping Nangong Ming's neck.
Long Chuqing slightly twitched the corners of her lips, revealing a cold smile. Her voice was icy and devoid of any emotion: "Since you've already guessed it, then don't blame me for being ruthless. It seems I can't let you live anymore!"
Nangong Ming stared wide-eyed in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.
This happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to react. Just moments ago, the two of them were chatting happily, and the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
But why did it suddenly turn into a life-or-death struggle? At this moment, he couldn't be sure whether what was happening in front of him was real or not. He couldn't help but wonder, what exactly is going on?
He struggled to turn his eyes to look at Long Chuqing beside him, only to find her gaze as cold as frost.
He stared straight at Long Chuqing, trying to find a flaw in her expressionless face, but at this moment her eyes were filled with endless indifference.
“You…” Nangong Ming still wanted to confirm, “Hehe…you’re joking with me, right? You’re doing a pretty good job of imitating it.”
"What do you think?" Long Chuqing said viciously, tightening her grip on his neck. Her beautiful eyes remained as cold as ever, showing no emotion whatsoever.
Nangong Ming suppressed the suffocating feeling in his throat and forced out a few words, wanting to confirm again: "Are you really an undercover agent sent by another country?"
"You're a dying man, so what if you know? You said before that you'd accept dying by my hand, and now I can fulfill one of your wishes."
At this moment, Nangong Ming felt an indescribable and complex emotion. He tried hard to move the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a bitter smile.
"That's right. Now that I've said those words, I won't regret them. Even if I die by your hand today, I'll accept it. Do it!"
Long Chuqing's expression remained indifferent. She stared intently at Nangong Ming in front of her. After a moment, she slowly released the hand that was tightly gripping Nangong Ming's neck.
"Hahaha..." Long Chuqing suddenly laughed again, her laughter clear and crisp, with a hint of mockery.
"Oh my... Nangong Ming, you're so funny, hahaha... much more fun than Xiao Han, hahaha..."
Upon hearing Long Chuqing's words, Nangong Ming was momentarily stunned. Looking at Long Chuqing's smug, laughing expression, he quickly realized that he had been tricked by her.
He glared angrily at Long Chuqing, who was still laughing heartily, and roared, "You, Long Chuqing, how dare you trick me! Release my pressure points now, or I will fight you to the death today!"
Faced with Nangong Ming's furious roar, Long Chuqing remained calm and composed. She clutched her stomach and waved her hand, saying, "Fine, fine... haha... I'll fight to the death, but... let me laugh for a while longer first."
"You despicable woman, your behavior is so vile!" Nangong Ming gritted his teeth in anger.
At this moment, Liu Yu, who was sitting outside focused on driving the carriage, looked bewildered when he heard the commotion inside. However, unable to resist his curiosity, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversation inside the carriage.
He didn't know what was going on inside, why the Dragon Girl was laughing so happily, while the young master looked so furious.
