"Although I'm not your woman, but …" Zhao Min changed the topic and moved closer to Song Qingshu. "Do you think I'm beautiful?"
Song Qingshu was stunned. What was she playing at? But in the end, he still nodded. "Your Highness, you're as brilliant as a rose and as beautiful as a peach. If you're not beautiful, then there's no beautiful woman in the world."
Although she knew that his words were filled with flattery, when Zhao Min heard the words "as brilliant as a rose and as beautiful as a peach," she was still very pleased. "Then what do you think of my personality?"
"Passionate as fire and willing to give up everything for love. You're the ideal wife for any man." Song Qingshu wasn't lying. In his previous life, Zhao Min's popularity on the internet had far surpassed that of Zhou Zhiruo. In fact, both of them had their own merits in terms of appearance and intelligence. The reason why there was such a big difference was that Zhao Min was willing to give up her glory and wealth for love. She was even willing to betray her own country. But Zhou Zhiruo sacrificed her love to a certain extent for her own career.
A woman desperately threw herself at the male protagonist, while the other did things that harmed the male protagonist's interests for her own benefit. From a woman's point of view, she would think that Zhao Min was too much and had no soul of her own. On the contrary, Zhou Zhiruo had the advantages of a modern woman. But from a man's point of view, he still preferred women like Zhao Min who gave up everything for love.
Zhao Min was very satisfied with his answer. She didn't continue to ask about his intelligence because she often heard people say, "Then what do you think of me? Do you like me? "
Song Qingshu had a strange look on his face. "You're not asking me to marry you, are you?"
"Ptui ~" Zhao Min spat and blushed. "Just answer the question directly."
"I think you're pretty good. Who wouldn't like someone like the princess?" Song Qingshu praised.
"But right now, the world is in chaos. A beautiful woman like me is wandering in the martial world. If I were to encounter a thief with evil intentions, something unimaginable would happen. You don't want such a tragic thing to happen to me, right?" Zhao Min pretended to be pitiful as she spoke.
Song QingShu was speechless. So this was what he had been talking about. "You are the Mongolian Princess. Usually you have a large group of highly skilled fighters with you. Now that you have me by your side, what do you have to worry about?"
Zhao Min curled her lips. "Although the masters in my residence are not bad, there are many talented people in the world. As the saying goes, there is always someone better than you. Have you forgotten what happened last time?"
Song Qingshu knew that she was talking about the attack by the people of the Isle of Heroes in the ruined temple. There were so many highly skilled fighters on the Isle of Heroes. Even if Zhao Min had many powerful fighters by her side, they would not be able to protect her.
"Now that I'm by your side to protect you, I don't believe that anyone in the world can hurt you." Song Qingshu's tone revealed a strong sense of confidence.
Zhao Min pouted. "You can't protect me forever."
"So what if I protect you forever?" Song Qingshu was so excited that he almost blurted it out. However, he was no longer the reckless young man he used to be. In the end, he did not say it out loud. After all, he could not protect her all the time. There would always be times when he could not be there to protect her.
"Just teach me some martial arts. If you are worried that I will learn how to bully Zhou Zhiruo, then teach me martial arts for escaping. That way, when I face danger, I will have a unique skill to protect my life." Zhao Min blinked her big eyes. Her voice was very sweet and coquettish.
"Alright, alright. I'm scared of you." Song Qingshu said helplessly.
Zhao Min's eyes lit up. She put her hands together in front of her chest and patted her chest. She was very happy.
"Wait for a second." Song Qingshu said to Zhao Min. Then, he opened the door of the carriage and said to the driver, "Stop the carriage."
After the carriage stopped, Song Qingshu pulled Zhao Min out of the carriage. He said to the soldiers, "You guys go back to Yangzhou City. We will continue on our way. Leave a few horses here."
Previously, the two of them were too tired and needed to rest in the carriage. Now that the two of them had woken up, the soldiers had completed their mission. There was no need for them to stay.
After all, he could not openly go to the Jin Kingdom this time. It would be too obvious if he had these soldiers with him. On the other hand, he subconsciously wanted to be alone with Zhao Min. It would be weird if there were a few extra third wheels.
"Yes, your highness." The soldiers did not try to be brave. After all, they had seen Song QingShu descend from the sky and subdue Li Kexiu. If they were to be with him, they would not know who would be protecting who when there was danger.
Soon, the soldiers drove the carriages back to the city. Song QingShu pulled Zhao Min to an open space and said, "Although your martial arts are good, you are still far from being a Peerless Master. If you want to have the ability to protect yourself in any situation, the best way is to learn a Peerless Qinggong. I just happened to get my hands on the 'Wave-like Subtle Steps' recently, and it can be said to be unparalleled in the world when it comes to moving and dodging."
"Wave-like Subtle Steps?" Zhao Min repeated it. "Is it the Lightness Skill of Duan of Dali?" She used to deal with Jianghu affairs for Ruyang Mansion and collected a lot of information. Duan Yu's Lightness Skill played a lot of roles in Jianghu.
"That's right, this is the Lightness Skill that he knows. However, this Lightness Skill comes from the mysterious Carefree Sect." Song QingShu roughly explained the origin and advantages of this Lightness Skill.
Zhao Min nodded slightly and said, "Back then, the Crown Prince of Dali didn't know Kung Fu, but he was able to turn misfortunes into blessings. The effect of Wave-like Subtle Steps is obvious."
"Wave-like Subtle Steps is a footwork in name, but it actually tests one's internal energy. If one's internal energy is not enough, it is easy to be possessed by the devil …" Song Qingshu was about to explain the essence of Wave-like Subtle Steps to her, but Zhao Min interrupted him.
"I don't want to learn this."
Song Qingshu was stunned and asked, "Then what do you want to learn?" Wave-like Subtle Steps was the standard Lightness Skill recognized by almost all time-travelers. It could be seen how top-notch this Lightness Skill was. In the whole world of the Golden Book, it was one of the best.
"What is the Lightness Skill you are best at?" Zhao Min suddenly asked.
"My current Lightness Skill is so good mainly because of my profound internal energy. But all the foundation is still the Traceless Sand Steps I learned in the beginning." Song Qingshu answered.
"Traceless Sand Steps?" Zhao Min's eyes lit up. "The one that the stinky bat from the Ming Dynasty knew?"
Song Qingshu was speechless, but he still nodded in the end. "Yes." Traceless Sand Steps was indeed the Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao's famous unique skill.
"Then I will learn this." Zhao Min said excitedly.
"Why?" Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "Wave-like Subtle Steps and Traceless Sand Steps are both Lightness Skills of the same level. In terms of movement and evasion, Wave-like Subtle Steps is better, and it is more suitable for women to practice."
"I want to learn the same as you." Zhao Min looked at him quietly with a faint smile on her lips.
Looking at the incomparably beautiful girl in front of him, who seemed to have a suffocating beauty, Song Qingshu's breathing quickened a bit. "I boast that I am good at flirting with girls, but I didn't expect the princess to also be an expert at flirting."
Zhao Min's face was bright red, and she said with a bright smile, "Have you been flirted with by me?"
Looking at the beauty's sweet smile, Song Qingshu couldn't help but lean over and kiss her tender red lips.
Because his movements were too fast, Zhao Min couldn't react at all. Feeling his lips, her eyes couldn't help but widen, and at the same time, her heart was beating fast.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Zhao Min gradually closed her eyes. She didn't have her usual high spirits, and she was completely bashful, waiting for him to do whatever he wanted.
But just as she closed her eyes, the scene she saw in Zhou Zhiruo's room last night suddenly appeared in her mind. At the same time, the voice that had tortured her for the whole night rang in her ears. Her pink face instantly flushed red, and she pushed the man away. "What are you doing!"
Song QingShu was confused. He didn't understand why she would suddenly change her expression when she had clearly opened her mouth and allowed him to enter her without any hesitation.
"Maybe it's because of a young girl's modesty." Song Qingshu thought he found the reason. Looking at her angry expression, he knew that it was not a good time to mention what had happened just now, so he quickly changed the topic. "I'll teach you how to step on the sand without leaving a trace."
Zhao Min was about to explode, but after hearing this, she could only suppress her anger in her heart. "Hmph, this bastard is quite cunning." But she didn't think of how to hold him accountable for what had happened just now, so she simply didn't mention it again.
Next, Song Qingshu began to teach Zhao Min the trick to step on the sand without leaving a trace. She was talented and learned very quickly, and it didn't take long for her to learn it. The only thing she lacked was proficiency. Of course, there was also the speed brought by the level of her internal energy.
"I'll say the ugly things first. Without my permission, you can't teach this martial art to anyone else. Otherwise, I'll kill you, and I'll also kill the person you taught this martial art to." Song QingShu purposely intimidated him.
"I know, I know. I know that you Jianghu people are the most selfish." Zhao Min curled her lips and raised her hand to swear. "I swear I won't teach this martial art to anyone else. If I break this oath, then …" She paused and said with a smile, "I'll marry you. How about that?"
Song Qingshu's heart jumped. In order to hide the unnatural feeling in his heart, he hurriedly said, "What if you deliberately teach this martial art to someone else in order to marry me?"
Zhao Min raised her fist and punched him. She laughed and scolded, "You wish."
"No, change it. If you break your oath and marry into my family, you'll have to serve Zhiruo every day. Bring her tea and water, massage her shoulders and legs …" The smile on Song Qingshu's face grew wider as he spoke.
"You're too vicious!" Zhao Min instantly exploded. She took her luggage and chased after him. The two continued on their journey amidst such laughter.
With a beauty accompanying them, the journey was naturally not boring. Even time seemed to have sped up. Every two days, the two would enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom.
On this day, they arrived at the border of Mount Song. The two were talking and laughing when suddenly the sound of fighting came from the forest in front of them. In the distance, they saw a group of people chasing after a few people.
"Hey, isn't that Xiao Feng?" Zhao Min recognized one of the people being chased and could not help but exclaim.
