Chapter 91 - Reserved For the Crown Prince (1/2)
The woman, who didn't seem to have heard the first half of what he said, finally froze at the last part. She looked up at him with wide eyes. ”What did you just say?”
”Hmph!” Qiu Ling harrumphed. ”I told you to get lost! I'm not interested.”
”No, no. After that!” The woman dropped her hands but still stared at him.
Qiu Ling shifted on his seat. Being stared at like that didn't feel good. ”Isn't that enough?”
”No, no! What did you say about the crown prince?”
Qiu Ling tilted his head. ”The crown prince? Of course, you can't compare to him!” He appraised the woman in front of him and snorted. ”Have a look at yourself! In the mortal world you might be a beauty, but how could you compare to Jing He's godly looks?”
”Oh, so you aren't the crown prince …” The woman's shoulders drooped. She had been so sure that she had found the right person this time!
Qiu Ling nodded, but then jerked up. ”What did you just say?”
The woman blinked in surprise. ”I said what you said.”
”No! You didn't!”
”I did!”
The two of them stared at each other, both unwilling to back down.
Qiu Ling, who was still drunk, finally tilted his head. Maybe he had really said what she said? Wait … What was it she said? ”You … What was it you said?”
”The same as —”
”Then what did I say?”
”You said, you're not the crown prince!”
”Of course! Why would I be him? I wouldn't fall in love with myself, would I?” His head tilted to the other side and he considered the possibility for a bit. ”Well, I am really handsome.”
”Pft!” The woman laughed. ”How are you handsome?”
Qiu Ling looked up at her, completely flabbergasted. ”What's wrong with your eyes, woman? I'm the most handsome man in the dragon realm! Even that demon king who is rumored to be able to ruin a mortal kingdom with one glance isn't better looking than me!”
The woman lifted her brows, clearly not believing him. Qiu Ling leaped to his feet.
”What is not handsome about me?”
She looked him up and down and her lips formed a straight line. ”Everything?”, she said but it sounded a bit like a question.
Qiu Ling staggered backward. I'm … not handsome? My love, did you kiss that man because I wasn't handsome enough? Qiu Ling hid his face behind his hands and sat back down.
”Wuwu … No wonder he kissed someone else! So I'm just not handsome enough!” His shoulders shook, but then Qiu Ling jerked up once again. ”I need to do something! How to become more handsome?” He turned around to the woman.
”Uh … Well, you could stop frowning!”
Qiu Ling tilted his head and still frowned. After he had ascertained that this mortal face was the most handsome while frowning he had never forgotten to frown even once. Oh, no, when he kissed his beloved, he had stopped frowning and instantly smiled. But that was to be expected, so one couldn't really count it as a slip-up, right?
