Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 482: Using Long Legs as Spears

As Ah Qing left, Yang Miaozhen approached, “Young Master Song, it seems you and Ah Qing have a close relationship.”

Song Qingshu glanced at the spirited woman before him and smiled slightly, “Not particularly.”

Yang Miaozhen’s smile faltered. She had intended to probe for information, but he was tight-lipped. Thinking quickly, she continued, “I heard that after her recent victory, Ah Qing’s odds have dropped drastically, nearly one-to-one, while ours remain at dozens-to-one. It seems she’s the favorite to become the new Golden Serpent King.”

“Really?” Song Qingshu’s eyes lit up, and he called over Zeng Rou, who was standing nearby. “Rou Rou, go fetch the banknotes from my room and bet them all on me.”

“All of them?” Zeng Rou’s eyes widened. “Are you sure?”

“Of course, it’s a great chance to make money,” Song Qingshu urged.

“Alright,” Zeng Rou said, though she wondered if she should consult the Ninth Princess first. She feared that if Song Qingshu acted impulsively, the Ninth Princess might end up in destitute.

However, when Ah Jiu heard about it, her eyes lit up with excitement. She handed a small, ornate box to Zeng Rou. “This is my accumulated dowry. Bet it all. And if you have any savings, bet those too. Opportunities like this are rare.”

Stunned by the Ninth Princess’s enthusiasm, Zeng Rou left, feeling disoriented.

“Young Master Song, are you so confident you’ll win?” Yang Miaozhen asked, apparently feeling incredulous.
“Well…” Song Qingshu gave a modest smile, “I think I have a good chance.”

Yang Miaozhen was perplexed.

‘Is he genuinely confident or just putting on an act to unsettle me?’

“So, you think you can definitely defeat me?” Yang Miaozhen stared intently at him.

“Fourth Lady’s spear skills are exceptional. I wouldn’t dare say it’s a sure thing,” Song Qingshu replied humbly.

Yang Miaozhen ground her teeth in frustration. Despite his modest words, his demeanor suggested he didn’t see her as a real threat at all!

“I’ll show you!” Yang Miaozhen muttered, suppressing her irritation. She was about to leave when she noticed Zhou Zhiruo and Ah Jiu were absent. “Where are Lady Zhou and the Ninth Princess?”

“They have some matters to attend to,” Song Qingshu answered curtly, refusing to elaborate.

“What could be more important than being with their husband at a time like this?” Yang Miaozhen wondered aloud but realized she wouldn’t get any more information and decided to leave. As she walked away, she couldn’t resist asking, “People in the martial world say you’re fortunate to have two such fairies in your life. I’m curious how you managed to make them get along like sisters.”

“Why don’t you become their sister and find out?” Song Qingshu teased.

“Ugh!” Yang Miaozhen spat, a habit from her rough life among bandits. Usually, she would retaliate with her sharp tongue and martial prowess, but faced with Song Qingshu’s thick skin and great strength, she found herself at a loss and stomped off in frustration.

An hour passed quickly. Huang Rong announced the start of the third round, with the first match between Song Qingshu and Yang Miaozhen.

Yang Miaozhen stood straight at one end of the platform, her spear resting on the ground. She felt at her peak, even better than during her match with Shi Potian. This time, she forwent her red cloak, knowing it was a liability against an opponent of Song Qingshu’s caliber.

Watching the woman across the stage, Song Qingshu almost whistled. Yang Miaozhen’s tall, curvy figure was fully revealed without the cloak, like a proud warhorse awaiting its destined knight.

“Focus, focus,” Song Qingshu chided himself.

Noticing his momentary distraction, Yang Miaozhen acted swiftly. With a shout, she swung her spear, sending the stones on the platform flying towards him.

Song Qingshu focused, extended his hands, and stopped the stones mid-air as if held by an invisible force. This display of mastery shocked many onlookers, showcasing a level of skill only a grandmaster could achieve.

Familiar faces in the crowd reacted differently. Yu Wanting and Wen Tailai turned pale with both hatred and fear. 

Friends from the Prince Mu Palace and Wudang showed joy, while the Shaolin and Quanzhen sect members looked serious.

Huang Rong’s expression was complex as she watched, wondering if her husband Guo Jing could surpass Song Qingshu. Remembering the events in the cave, she sighed and glanced away, noticing her daughter Guo Fu gazing at Song Qingshu with shining eyes. Huang Rong was alarmed: ‘Why is Fu’er looking at him like that?’

On the stage, the moment of stillness ended as the stones shattered, and Yang Miaozhen’s spear shot forward. She spun like a whirlwind, her speed and power increased, forcing Song Qingshu to dodge with a quick sidestep.

Anticipating his move, Yang Miaozhen shifted her spear downward, using the platform’s rebound to spin and kick at Song Qingshu with her long, powerful legs like a spear aimed at his neck.
