Chapter 320: What a Shame About That Face!
It’s said that small gambling brings delight. During the moldy days Han Jing spent at home, she naturally found many projects to gamble on to pass the time. With An Chuxue as a kindred spirit, the two frequently dragged the maids of the residence to play card games and mahjong, though their skills were quite mediocre. Playing with the maids was manageable, but encountering Su Yaogeng, they would lose everything. Fortunately, Yun Feng occasionally joined the fun, allowing Han Jing and An Chuxue to relish a win or two.
Even if their skills weren’t great, they enjoyed playing. In summary, they failed repeatedly but kept fighting, battling continuously despite defeat.
So, it was rare to encounter Su Xingqiao, and yet Han Jing even managed to lose at a game of Go against her. Han Jing genuinely felt the sun was exceptionally bright today.
The two played while chatting, a surprisingly enjoyable occasion.
However, just as their conversation was reaching a peak, Han Jing’s expression suddenly changed, and at this moment, a piece in Su Xingqiao’s hand had already been flung into the air!
Han Jing’s first instinct was to know it was a master, so she used her superpower to protect herself first before looking outside.
The two were sitting in the flower hall, and the maids serving them were outside, with no one entering, and the quiet was unusually eerie at this moment.
Su Xingqiao immediately stood, blocking Han Jing with a protective stance, and shouted, "Who?! Come out now!"
The opponent apparently didn’t expect the two to discover him so quickly.
Since they had discovered him, there was no need to hide any longer.
The intruder appeared to be a man in his forties, lean build, medium height, with a couple of small mustaches, and slightly high cheekbones, giving a rather sleazy and sinister appearance.
As his gaze landed on Han Jing, a glint of surprise flashed, but upon seeing the birthmark on her face, he remarked, "Tsk tsk, what a pity, such a pretty beauty, yet born with such an ugly birthmark. Ah well, it doesn’t matter, her figure is still quite enticing! Just right for me to enjoy! Today’s a good day to profit, hehe~."
His eyes were blatantly lecherous, as if wanting to devour her whole.
At this moment, several chess pieces mercilessly flew towards him! Han Jing saw that those pieces seemed to be enveloped in a faint crimson glow; had Su Xingqiao also reached the Spirit Cultivation Level?
The man evidently noticed too, and after a brief pause, grinned broadly. The pieces hadn’t even gotten close before he repelled them, embedding them into a nearby chair, which instantly turned to powder without making a sound!
Even Han Jing could feel the immense pressure; so this is what a master at the Spirit Cultivation Level is like? Truly extraordinary. If it were her power at the time of her recent rebirth, she likely wouldn’t withstand even a single move from the opponent!
The opponent struck with a hand chop, which transformed into a faint orange light mark in the air, heading straight for Su Xingqiao!
Su Xingqiao immediately blocked it, but his attack was crimson.
Han Jing remembered Yun Feng mentioning the Spirit Cultivation Level’s Spirit Flame, Crimson Flame and Orange Flame, meaning Su Xingqiao was no match for the man. The man’s power was a whole level higher than Su Xingqiao’s!
Just then, the man chuckled cunningly, "Hehe, luckily I heard about the beauty and took that kid’s place temporarily. Otherwise, today wouldn’t have been so fun!"
