Chapter 277: Guo Jing is actually a romantic

【Top Ten Children of Destiny】

【Fifth Place: Guo Jing】

【Guo Jing’s father, Guo Xiaotian, and his sworn brother, Yang Tiexin, were framed by Wanyan Honglie colluding with Duan Tiande and died in Niujia Village, Lin’an. Guo Jing’s mother, Li Ping, fled to the Mongolian desert and gave birth to Guo Jing amidst the chaos of war. 】

【Guo Jing grew up in a Mongolian tribe in his early years. He was carefully taught by his mother, Li Ping, since childhood. Although he was slow-witted, he had an honest nature.】

【The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan traveled north to Mongolia due to a bet with Qiu Chuji of Changchun Sect. By chance, they found Guo Jing and took him as their disciple, teaching him martial arts.】

【During this time, they encountered the Black Wind Double. Mei Chaofeng was blinded by the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, and Chen Xuanfeng killed Zhang Asheng, one of the Seven Freaks. When Chen Xuanfeng caught Guo Jing, Guo Jing accidentally stabbed him to death. 】

【Later, Ma Yu, the Sect Leader of Quanzhen Sect, learned about the bet between Qiu Chuji and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and developed respect for the Seven Freaks. So, he came to Mongolia and taught Guo Jing the internal skills of Quanzhen Sect for two years at the top of a cliff, which greatly improved Guo Jing’s martial arts.】

“Suddenly, I realized that these Children of Destiny seem to have bad and strange backgrounds!”

“Of the five Children of Destiny on the list so far, Wei Xiaobao was born in a brothel, his mother was a prostitute, and he doesn’t even know who his father is. Duan Yu had a good background, but it turned out that his father wasn’t his biological father, and his enemy was. How ridiculous!”

“As for Xu Zhu and the Bastard, although their biological parents are alive, they were taken away from them since childhood!”

“Now, Guo Jing’s family suffered a huge change before he was even born, his father died, and he was left wandering in a foreign land!”

“The Children of Destiny’s destinies are too strong; their parents can’t handle it!”

“Parents sacrificed to heaven, their power is boundless!”

“I find these Seven Freaks of Jiangnan to be incredibly impressive, but their martial arts are truly trash!”

“Especially Ke Zhen’e, every time he seems incredibly powerful, but he never seems to win a fight, and he always bullies the few with the many!”

“Ke Zhen’e: I’ve never won a fight, but I’ve never lost an argument!”

“What kind of messy martial arts did they teach Guo Jing? No wonder Guo Jing is so weak. It’s better for him to learn internal skills from Ma Yu for two years!”

“Yeah, internal skills are the foundation!”

“Are they even qualified to call Guo Jing stupid?”

“But he does seem a bit stupid!”

“What stupid? He’s similar to the Bastard, isn’t he? This is called great wisdom as foolishness!”

“……”

Although this was Guo Jing’s review, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan successfully attracted everyone’s attention.

No way.

Every time they appear, they act incredibly impressive and boast to the heavens.

But their fighting is really……they’ve never won.

I really don’t know where they get the courage to be so arrogant!

【The scene changed. When Guo Jing was eighteen years old, to fulfill his promise to compete with Yang Kang at Zui Xian Lou in Jiaxing and to avenge his father, Guo Jing left the desert and went south to Jiangnan, where he met his lifelong love.】

But here, the screen was divided into two.

On the left screen, the person Guo Jing met was Cheng Yaojia.

On the right screen, the person Guo Jing met was Huang Rong.

“Holy crap! Another Child of Destiny who got intercepted!”

“I wonder who intercepted Huang Rong?”

“I bet a copper coin, it must be the Martial King!”

“Indeed! You know, the Child of Destiny himself has a destiny like a rainbow. To intercept his woman, one must have an even more heaven-defying destiny!”

“Ordinary people definitely can’t change the fate of the Child of Destiny!”

“It’s absolutely the Martial King!”

“If it’s the Martial King, doesn’t that mean Huang Rong was also taken by the Martial King? Oh no, another beauty from the Incomparable Beauty List has fallen victim!”

“……”

Great Song Dynasty.

Xiangyang.

“Yaojia, don’t worry, I will only love you in this life. No matter what the original fate is, what Huang Rong, my heart for you will never change!”

Guo Jing held Cheng Yaojia’s hand and explained.

He hadn’t actually met Huang Rong yet.

At most, he had only seen her on the Incomparable Beauty List.

“Mm-hmm, I know.”

Cheng Yaojia nodded vigorously, her heart full of sweetness, resting her head on Guo Jing’s chest, her beautiful eyes continuing to look at the sky.

However, her gaze was focused on the screen showing Guo Jing’s original fate.

Not only her, but most people in the Nine Continents were too.

【In a large inn in Zhangjiakou, Guo Jing was eating when he suddenly heard a commotion outside and went out to check.】

【He saw two waiters yelling at a ragged, thin teenager.】

【The teenager was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a dark, tattered leather hat crookedly on his head. His face and hands were covered in black coal, making his original appearance unrecognizable. He held a steamed bun in his hand and giggled, revealing two rows of sparkling white teeth, which were extremely incongruous with his overall appearance. 】

【His eyes were pitch black and very lively. 】

“This is Huang Rong. Needless to say, Guo Jing will definitely step forward to help Huang Rong out of the situation, then gain her favor, and win the beauty’s heart!”

“That’s too easy, isn’t it?”

“Huang Rong is disguised as a beggar now. Who would care about a beggar? Maybe it’s precisely because of Guo Jing’s kindness that he gained Huang Rong’s favor!”

“This Huang Rong is clever and witty, how could she fall for Guo Jing, this fool?”

“They don’t match at all!”

“……”

Everyone stared intently at the screen, they all recognized Huang Rong and wanted to know how Guo Jing captured her heart.

You have to know that Huang Rong is not an ordinary woman.

Beautiful.

Intelligent.

Whether it’s family background, appearance, or talent, Guo Jing and Huang Rong are not from the same world.

【At this time, a waiter shouted at Huang Rong, “What are you doing? Get out of here!” Huang Rong said, “Fine, I’ll leave.”】

【Just as she turned around, another waiter shouted, “Leave the steamed bun.”】

【Huang Rong put down the steamed bun as instructed, but several dirty handprints were left on the white steamed bun, making it impossible to sell anymore. 】

【A waiter was furious and punched out, but Huang Rong ducked. 】

【Guo Jing saw her pitiful state and knew she was starving, so he rushed forward to stop the waiter, saying, “Don’t be rough, put it on my tab.”】

【He picked up the steamed bun and handed it to Huang Rong. Huang Rong took the bun and said, “This steamed bun is not well made. Poor thing, you eat it!”】

【She threw it to a small otter dog at the door, and the dog pounced on it and started chewing. 】

“Huang Rong’s beggar disguise is not convincing at all!”

“She threw away such a good steamed bun, what beggar would do that?”

“She’s not a real beggar, she’s just experiencing the life of a beggar, so naturally, she wouldn’t eat that dirty steamed bun!”

“I just want to eat her steamed bun!”

“You’re not right!”

“……”

【A waiter sighed, “What a waste, what a waste, a perfectly good meat bun fed to a dog.”】

【Guo Jing was also stunned. He thought Huang Rong was starving, so she snatched the steamed bun from the waiter, but she threw it to the dog. 】

【However, Guo Jing didn’t say much and returned to his seat to continue eating. Huang Rong followed him in and looked at him.】

【Guo Jing felt a little embarrassed being stared at by her and greeted, “You can eat too, okay?”】

【Huang Rong smiled and said, “Okay, I’m bored by myself and was just looking for a companion.” She spoke with a Jiangnan accent. 】

【Guo Jing’s mother was from Lin’an, Jiangzhe, and the Six Freaks of Jiangnan were all from near Jiaxing. He had been accustomed to the Jiangnan accent since childhood, and hearing Huang Rong speak in his hometown accent made him very happy. 】

【Huang Rong walked to the table and sat down. Guo Jing ordered the waiter to bring more food. 】

◈◈◈

【Huang Rong, seeing Guo Jing’s naive and foolish appearance, prepared to fleece Guo Jing, to let him know the treacherous nature of people.】

【Huang Rong said to Guo Jing, “No matter how much I eat, you’ll pay for it?”】

【Guo Jing said, “Of course, of course.”】

【Huang Rong said, “Hey, waiter, first bring four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, two salty and sour dishes, and four candied fruits.”】

【The waiter was startled. He didn’t expect a small beggar to know so much. Thinking she was boasting, he sneered, “What kind of fruits and candied fruits does sir want?”】

【Huang Rong said, “This kind of small inn in a poor place, I reckon you can’t get good stuff, so let’s just do this. The four dried fruits will be lychees, longans, steamed dates, and ginkgo. For fresh fruits, pick whatever is in season. The salty and sour dishes should be preserved cherries and shredded ginger plums. I wonder if you can buy them here? As for candied fruits? They should be rose kumquats, fragrant grape candy, sugared peach strips, and pear meat ‘good lads’.”】

【The waiter, hearing her speak so knowledgeably, couldn’t help but put away his contempt.】

【Huang Rong then said, “As for the appetizers, there isn’t any fresh fish or shrimp here. Hmm, then bring eight so-so appetizers.”】

【Such as flower-steamed quail, stir-fried duck webs, chicken tongue soup, deer tripe stuffed with scallops, pan-fried ox tendons with mandarin ducks, chrysanthemum rabbit shreds, stir-fried camphor legs, and ginger vinegar golden and silver trotters…】

【Huang Rong showed off her culinary knowledge, directly dumbfounding the waiter and making Guo Jing feel admiration.】

【Huang Rong ordered a large table of dishes, but Guo Jing didn’t pay any attention. He chatted with Huang Rong about his experiences in the Mongolian desert, such as shooting rabbits, shooting eagles, riding horses, and catching wolves, among other interesting things.】

【Huang Rong listened with great interest. When Guo Jing spoke of something he was proud of, she couldn’t help but clap her hands and laugh, her expression very innocent.】

【When they got carried away, Guo Jing grabbed Huang Rong’s left hand.】

【Upon grabbing it, he felt her palm was warm, soft, and smooth, as if boneless, and he couldn’t help but pause.】

【Huang Rong chuckled softly and lowered her head. Guo Jing saw that her face was covered in coal black, but the skin behind her neck was as white and smooth as fat, with a luster that surpassed snow.】

“Damn it! Who the hell said Guo Jing was stupid? Step forward, and I’ll beat him to death!”

“This is their first meeting, and he’s already holding hands. If this is stupid, wouldn’t everyone in the world be stupid?”

“I’ve discovered that Guo Jing is a master at picking up girls! He lets Huang Rong order a large table of dishes without batting an eye, fully displaying his tycoon status, and then casually holds the girl’s hand, getting closer!”

“I’ve learned something! ”

“Learned what crap, first you need to have money!”

“……”

The crowd discussed animatedly, all staring intently at the light screen, watching Guo Jing holding Huang Rong’s small hand, wishing they could take his place.

【Huang Rong gently pulled her hand away and said, “We’ve been talking for so long, the dishes are cold, and the rice is cold too!”】

【Guo Jing said, “Yes, cold dishes are also delicious.”】

【Huang Rong shook her head.】

【Guo Jing said, “Then let’s have them heated up.”】

【Huang Rong said, “No, reheated dishes aren’t tasty.”】

【Huang Rong called the waiter over, ordering him to take away all the dozens of bowls of cold dishes and throw them away, and then remake the hot dishes with fresh ingredients.】

【It was quite extravagant. Guo Jing didn’t say much about it, not caring about the money at all.】

【When the dozens of dishes were placed again, Huang Rong only ate a few bites and said she was full.】

“What a waste!”

“Truly, ‘the rich have meat and wine that rot, while the poor die of cold on the road!'”

“What does this reflect? It reflects the extreme extravagance and wastefulness of the upper class!”

“But Guo Jing’s face didn’t change at all, I have to say, he performed extremely well!”

“No wonder Guo Jing was able to win the heart of a beauty, with such lavish spending, which woman could resist?”

“Huang Rong isn’t someone who lacks money, she shouldn’t be moved by this, right?”

“She’s just fleecing Guo Jing!”

“I think so too, at this time, Huang Rong might still be sneering at Guo Jing’s stupidity in her heart!”

【The waiter cursed Guo Jing in his heart, “You fool, this kid is taking you for a ride.”】

【After finishing the meal, Guo Jing paid the bill, which totaled nineteen taels, seven qian, and four fen.】

【Guo Jing took out a gold ingot and ordered the waiter to exchange it for silver at the silver shop to pay the bill.】

【Coming out of the inn, the cold wind blew against them.】

【Huang Rong seemed to feel cold and shrank her neck, saying, “Thank you for your hospitality, goodbye.”】

【Guo Jing, seeing her thin clothes, couldn’t bear it. He took off his sable coat and draped it over her, saying, “Brother, we’ve become friends at first sight. Please wear this coat.”】

【He had four gold ingots left, took out two, and placed them in the pocket of the sable coat.】

【Huang Rong didn’t thank him. She draped the sable coat over herself and drifted away.】

【Huang Rong walked dozens of steps, then turned her head back. She saw Guo Jing holding the red horse, standing on the long street, still staring at her, lost in thought. Knowing that he was reluctant to part ways, she waved at him.】

【Guo Jing quickly walked over and asked, “Is there anything else you need, my friend?”】

【Huang Rong smiled slightly and said, “I haven’t asked for your esteemed name yet, elder brother.”】

【Guo Jing laughed and said, “That’s right, I forgot. My surname is Guo, my name is Jing. What about you, my friend?”】

【Huang Rong said, “My surname is Huang, and my given name is Rong.”】

【Guo Jing said, “Where are you going? If you’re going back south, how about we travel together?”】

【Huang Rong shook her head and said, “I’m not going back south.” She suddenly said, “Big brother, I’m hungry again.”】

【Guo Jing said happily, “Good, I’ll accompany you to have some wine and food again.”

【This time, Huang Rong led him to Changqing Tower, the largest restaurant in Zhangjiakou. The decor was entirely modeled after the old capital of the Song Dynasty, Bianliang’s large restaurants.】

【This time, Huang Rong didn’t order a lot of dishes. She only ordered four plates of exquisite snacks and a pot of Longjing tea. The two of them started chatting about everything under the sun again.】

【The two talked about their experiences on the road. Guo Jing mentioned the eight women in men’s clothing who tried to steal his horse.】

【Huang Rong asked about the little red horse’s temperament and speed. After listening to Guo Jing’s description, she looked very envious. She took a sip of tea and said with a smile, “Big brother, I want to ask you for a treasure, would you agree?”】

【Guo Jing said, “Why wouldn’t I?”】

【Huang Rong said, “I just really like your Ferghana horse.”】

【Guo Jing didn’t hesitate and said, “Okay, I’ll give it to you, my friend.”】

【Huang Rong was just joking. She thought he loved this rare horse as his life. She and him were just passing acquaintances. She was intentionally trying to see how this honest man would refuse. Who knew he would agree so readily? It was completely unexpected. She couldn’t help but be stunned. Her heart was filled with gratitude, and she couldn’t control herself. She suddenly leaned on the table and started sobbing.】

“Damn it! Awesome! （Voice crack!）”

“I thought Guo Jing was just a spendthrift, but I didn’t expect him to be so powerful. With this series of moves, which woman could resist?”

“Yeah, even someone as smart as Huang Rong was directly moved to tears!”

“First he treats her to a meal, fully displaying his tycoon style, then when it gets cold, he directly gives her his sable coat, and even includes two gold ingots, that’s half of Guo Jing’s wealth!”

“Finally, he even gives away his beloved Ferghana horse without hesitation, who can resist this?”

“It’s really unexpected, Guo Jing, who looks so naive and foolish, is the real master at picking up girls!”

“……”

“Did I just get bought over by this big fool? Impossible, how could I be so stupid!”

Huang Rong looked at the light screen in the sky, somewhat unable to accept it.

“It’s just two meals, two gold ingots, a sable coat, and a Ferghana horse, what’s so great about it? It’s not even worthy of carrying the shoes for the Dog Talisman that Martial Older Brother gave me!”

Huang Rong held the Dog Talisman that she kept close to her heart, full of disdain.

She would never like a big fool who was both stupid and clumsy.

Her ideal man was a peerless hero, handsome and charming, unrestrained and elegant, and divinely powerful…

“Hmph, that big bad guy, Martial Older Brother, I wonder which woman he’s having fun with now!”

Huang Rong pouted. Thinking about how Zhao Wu hadn’t come to see her in all these years, she felt a burst of shame and anger. When she saw Zhao Wu, she would definitely make him pay.
