Chapter 105 Jiao Liqiao Comes to Cause Trouble

I don't know if Qiao Wanmian understood, but judging from her eager look, she probably did... right?

"Youyou, stand over by the door. The light is better there, and the image is clearer."

Wow, you mastered the technique after just one explanation! You're talented!

"it is good."

Wu You walked over and stood in the position designated by Qiao Wanmian.

"No, no, it's still not quite right. Youyou, let's go to the yard. The light outside is much better, the photos will definitely turn out great."

Qiao Wanmian suggested.

We haven't even taken a single photo yet, and there are already so many requirements. Do you understand or not? Or are you just pursuing perfection?

"Alright, let's go."

The two went into the courtyard.

"Youyou, this is a good spot, stand still and don't move."

"Okay, you mean this spot, right? How's this move? Does it look good?"

"Okay, okay, don't move."

Qiao Wanmian carefully followed everything Wu You had just told her, step by step.

After focusing, she pressed the button, and soon a photo slowly appeared on the Polaroid camera. Qiao Wanmian carefully removed it, only to find it was a white piece of paper without any image.

Qiao Wanmian imitated Wu You's previous movements, and after a short while, an image slowly appeared, exactly the same as Wu You's current movement. It was truly amazing.

"Youyou, it really is you."

Qiao Wanmian was somewhat excited; this image had been created from her own hands so quickly.

"Who else could it be but me? Hurry up and take two more pictures, I'll take some for you later. Your outfit today is really beautiful, we must take more pictures of you."

"Okay, then go over there. The angle there is good, and the rose bush in the back is blooming beautifully."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Wu You was very compliant.

After Qiao Wanmian took four or five photos, the Polaroid camera returned to Wu You's hands.

“Sister A-Mian, I still think you look better holding the round fan. Although you didn’t use it for the wedding ceremony before, it looks really good in all kinds of photos now.”

“I think it’s pretty good too. I’ll go inside and get it now, and we’ll take a few more pictures. Wait a minute.”

As she spoke, Qiao Wanmian lifted her skirt and went back into the house.

"Okay, Sister A-Mian, slow down, let me find a better angle."

"it is good."

Wu You looked around the courtyard, trying to find the most beautiful angle. When she turned around, she saw a woman wearing a mask, dressed in red, and with various woven decorations on her head standing behind her.

"Who are you? You walk so quietly, you startled me."

Wu You took two steps back, distancing herself. She clearly didn't recognize the person; she truly didn't.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

The woman in red didn't answer but instead asked a question, staring at what Wu You was holding.

"I'm painting. Do you want me to paint one for you? I think you're quite pretty, so why are you covering your face?"

"I don't have time for painting; I have things to do. You say others cover their faces, but don't you cover yours too?"

Wu You reached out and touched the mask on his face. He had been wearing this mask almost the entire time since he arrived here, and sometimes he didn't even realize it was there. It was as if he had become one with it.

So, will we have to wear masks here from now on...?

Wu You shook off the jumbled thoughts in her head. Let's talk about this later.

"Don't worry, I paint very quickly and I'm very skilled. I'll give you the painting later, and you'll have to grant me one small request, okay?"

Jiao Liqiao became interested and wanted to see what this person in Qiao Wanmian's courtyard was up to.

"Sure, but I need to inspect the goods first. If your drawing is not good, you'll have to accept my punishment."

Jiao Liqiao gave a dangerous smile.

"Sure, I guarantee it'll be quick and look great. Are you going to stand here, or choose another angle?"

"It's fine here, I'm too lazy to change. I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

"I have a lot of faith in my skills, but would you like to take off your mask?"

"you sure?"

Jiao Liqiao's eyes became even more dangerous.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just asking. If you don't want to, then forget it."

Honestly, Wu You felt a chill run down his spine when Jiao Liqiao stared at him like that.

"Then you'd better watch carefully."

Jiao Liqiao removed her mask, revealing her stunningly beautiful yet menacing face.

"I knew I had a good eye for people. You're good-looking, very beautiful, and can rival the number one beauty in the martial arts world."

Honestly, Jiao Liqiao's face is too aggressive; her red lips are very flamboyant, and she can attract everyone's attention just by standing there.

Qiao Wanmian belongs to the gentle and charming type, with a natural, understated beauty. Indeed, you can tell the difference between a goddess and a female demon just by looking at their faces; they're almost identical.

"Are you getting ready to paint?"

Jiao Liqiao remained motionless; could it be that she had guessed her identity?

"It's almost ready, so strike your favorite pose."

Wu You aimed the Polaroid camera at Jiao Liqiao.

"No need. I look beautiful from any angle and in any pose. I don't need to dress up."

Jiao Liqiao was very confident.

This... no wonder she's called Sister Jiao, even Wu You has to admire her condition.

"Now that I'm ready, I'll begin."

Wu You quickly pressed the button, and the photo popped up from above.

"All right."

"That's good? Let me see."

Jiao Liqiao was somewhat incredulous. They hadn't even taken the money yet, and they'd already made a deal? This was no way to lie.

Wu You tossed the photo around, and handed it to Jiao Liqiao after the image was rendered.

"Is it true or not? You'll know as soon as you see it. Remember what we agreed on before?"

Jiao Liqiao took it and looked at it carefully. It was true! She had really drawn herself on it, looking exactly like herself, even the lip rouge on her lips was drawn on.

Jiao Liqiao gently stroked it: "As expected of me, you are really beautiful. Another day of being captivated by myself."

How did you do that?

"Of course it is..."

Just as Wu You was about to answer, Qiao Wanmian suddenly came out of the house, carrying many things in her hands. She grabbed one of them and threw it at Jiao Liqiao.

"Jiao Liqiao, what brings you here?"

While Jiao Liqiao was dodging, Qiao Wanmian quickly stepped forward, pulled Wu You aside, and stood in front of Wu You.

"Sister A-Mian." So cool.

"Youyou, don't be afraid."

"When people in the martial arts world talk about beauties, they always put you and me side by side. So tell me, who is more beautiful?"

Jiao Liqiao ignored Qiao Wanmian's actions just now.

Qiao Wanmian did not respond.

Jiao Liqiao chuckled twice: "But I'm not here today to compete with you in beauty. I'm here to tell you that Li Xiangyi is still alive."

Wu You didn't know how Qiao Wanmian felt, but he himself, standing behind her, was trembling as he watched her.

Where is he?

While Qiao Wanmian was speaking, Jiao Liqiao prepared to flick a pill into Qiao Wanmian's mouth.

Wu You, who had been anticipating Jiao Liqiao's actions, seized the opportunity and swiftly intercepted the pill.

"Oh, so you're the famous beauty Jiao Da, renowned throughout the martial arts world! My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."

"you......"

"How did you make this poison? Who made it? Why did you have to poison Sister A-Mian? Did someone have to take it?"

Wu You held the medicine between two fingers and examined it carefully in the sunlight. He couldn't tell what kind of poison it was. Did it require the Yangzhou slow-acting medicine to cure it?

These martial arts figures only knew about Yangzhou Slow, but how exactly did they concoct a poison that could only be cured by Yangzhou Slow? It was truly a perplexing matter.

"I actually wanted her to eat it."

Jiao Liqiao completely ignored Wu You's long string of questions and pointed to Qiao Wanmian next to Wu You.

"How about this, I'll take the poison instead?"

"Youyou, no."

Qiao Wanmian quickly stopped her.

"It's alright, it's fine."

Wu You comforted Qiao Wanmian, explaining that the moment he put the food in his mouth, he had already put it back into the space of the old house, so it couldn't even get into his stomach.

“Beautiful lady, you just promised me a small favor. I don’t think it’s a big deal, and I’m not picky, so I’ll take this one.”

"I was just saying that casually, and you actually believed me?" Jiao Liqiao laughed heartily.

Oh my, that mesmerizing laughter, only Jiao Liqiao could resist it.

Wu You remained calm and composed.

"In that case, give me back my painting, and let's just forget about what happened before."

Jiao Liqiao held the photo in her hand, stroking it carefully, with no intention of returning it.

"You're the first person to think of taking back something that's already in my hands. Take the poison if you want; I have plenty more."

Jiao Liqiao took out another one from her bosom and examined it closely; it was exactly the same as the one in Wu You's hand.

"There's no such logic in this world. This is robbery, beautiful lady. It's unacceptable. It seems I can only repay them in kind."

"Let's see if you have any other ideas."

As Jiao Liqiao spoke, she raised her palm and attacked Wu You and Qiao Wanmian.

Wu You and Qiao Wanmian took a few steps back hand in hand. Wu You shouted, "Stop for a moment, I have something to say."

Jiao Liqiao stopped as she wished, admiring her crimson armor with a nonchalant look in her eyes, as if everything was under her control.

"Speak, what is it? For the sake of the portrait, I will allow you to leave your last words."

Is this some kind of unspoken agreement in the martial arts world? It's strange that we stop as soon as someone tells us to.

If it were me, I'd strike while the iron is hot and kill you first. I'd cripple you until you can't fight back, then we can talk about everything else later.

"I was thinking that it's a bit unfair for us to fight two against one, especially with such a beautiful woman on the opposite side. So I'm sending someone over to fight you one-on-one. That's what I call fair."

Wu You reached into her purse, took out the small bell, and shook it rapidly.

As soon as the little bell rang, Nanfeng, who had been hiding outside the courtyard, instantly appeared inside.

If Wu You hadn't specifically instructed that he could only enter when she called him, Nanfeng would have entered the courtyard long before Jiao Liqiao did.

In order not to disturb his master's plans, Nanfeng always remembered Wu You's words and did not move.

"Him? He doesn't even deserve it!"

Jiao Liqiao sneered.

"I'm giving you a task. You either take what's in her hand from her, or you feed it to her. Can you do it?"

Wu You pointed at Jiao Liqiao and handed the poison that Jiao Liqiao had brought to Nanfeng.

"I can do it."

"Oh, by the way, be careful she doesn't use poison."

After Wu You finished speaking, he pulled Qiao Wanmian back to the eaves.

"Then, let's begin."

Wu You even felt that it wasn't enough, so she turned back to Qiao Wanmian's room, took out the snacks she had brought earlier, and ate them with Qiao Wanmian while watching.

Why haven't you started yet?

Wu You had already gone inside, but the two of them were still standing in the yard looking at each other.

Could it be that the two knew each other, and like fellow villagers meeting each other, they were moved to tears and couldn't bring themselves to do it?

That doesn't make sense either. One is a Nanyin person, and the other is a Han person. How could they be connected?

"Yes."

After Nanfeng finished speaking, he drew his sword and thrust it at Jiaoliqiao. Jiaoliqiao immediately spun backward, dodging Nanfeng's sword tip, and then drew the soft sword from her waist.

"Let me see what you're capable of."

Jiao Liqiao channeled her inner strength and swiftly thrust towards Nanfeng. Nanfeng parried with his sword, and Jiao Liqiao's sword met Nanfeng's.

The two fought back and forth in the courtyard, creating quite a spectacle. The energy from their swords and palm strikes scattered all the flowers and plants on the ground, leaving them in a mess.

"Sister A-Mian, who do you think has better kung fu skills and will win?"

Wu You nudged Qiao Wanmian with his elbow.

“I see that their martial arts skills are about the same, neither is better than the other, but what I am most worried about is that Jiao Liqiao will use poison, then Nanfeng will not be able to withstand it.”

Qiao Wanmian wasn't as carefree as Wu You; she kept her eyes fixed on the two people in the courtyard, worried.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright. We don't need to defeat Jiao Liqiao. We just need to wait for someone to come to the courtyard."

After exchanging dozens of moves, Wu You did not see Nan Feng use any of the secret guard techniques; all the moves he used were those commonly used by martial artists.

Unexpectedly, Nanfeng has a good aptitude for martial arts. In just ten years, he has mastered martial arts skills that are comparable to those of others who have practiced for decades. Perhaps it is because he has a foundation in martial arts that he can achieve twice the results with half the effort when practicing other martial arts.

Lotus Tower Small Theater

Wu You: Author, if I do this, will I offend a ruthless person like Jiao Liqiao, and what if she retaliates against me? I'm so scared.

A: Weren't you so powerful just now? You even dared to threaten Sister Horn.

Wu You: Since you, the author, are backing me up, of course I'm not afraid. Do you think she won't hold a grudge if I apologize to her now?

あ：Ask?

Jiao Liqiao: Hahahaha, hahahaha, don't worry, I won't hold it against you. After all, it's not worth arguing with a dead person.

Wu You: What should I do? I'm even more scared now. (Shaking)
