Chapter 1789 - 1392: Nice Try, Competing With Me!

Even though Gu Changsheng said this with such boldness and self-assurance, Yuan Bao was instantly stunned when he heard it. His little pleading eyes instantly darted to his master, meaning quite clearly: Master, you better do something about your woman! She hasn’t bullied people enough yet!

Zhou Mu received Yuan Bao’s glance, and his god-like face immediately darkened, glaring more fiercely at Yuan Bao than Gu Changsheng!

Yuan Bao might be a bit of a fool, but sometimes he catches on, so Yuan Bao immediately understood the meaning behind his master’s look. Was this blaming him for thinking his own wife is winning unfairly?

Fine!

Let her bully all she wants; it seems like the real oddity would be his own wife not bullying anyone!

Understanding this point, Yuan Bao proceeded with steps full of reluctance toward the depths of the stables. He needed to fetch the Witch Gu Horse!

On his way to fetch the horse, Yuan Bao didn’t hold back his sympathetic glance towards Landuoer and her servant...

May the heavens have mercy, is this girl really so foolish? Why is she courting trouble?

While he’s off to fetch the Witch Gu Horse, the pair are still busily picking out some fine steeds? Despite their prowess in horse selection, can they hope to find horses that can rival the Witch Gu Horse? Stop dreaming!

Finally, feeling a bit embarrassed, Yuan Bao led two Witch Gu Horses to Gu Changsheng, having come to understand that the second lady of the Tashi Tribe, a relative of Princess Nian’s maternal clan, was quite foolish. According to his wife’s words, she was a simpleton!

Yuan Bao suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie, thinking: Look, indeed, his wife had become addicted to bullying this girl!

However, Yuan Bao thought he was a bit smarter than that girl, at least he hadn’t foolishly gone seeking trouble!

May heavens be merciful, hopefully, the girl won’t be crying her eyes out later!

With both Witch Gu Horses brought over, Gu Changsheng was inspecting them when Landuoer finally selected two horses, and the master-servant pair led them over to Gu Changsheng!

Upon seeing the two horses beside Gu Changsheng, Landuoer laughed immediately, "The Nomadic Tribe really doesn’t understand horses. These two are indeed well-fed, but I’m afraid they won’t be fast. If you lose later, don’t feel bad!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched slightly!

Nomadic Tribe, Nomadic Tribe, has the Nomadic Tribe offended you?

Forcing to pin a Nomadic Tribe background on me is one thing, but why criticize the Nomadic Tribe incessantly? Ignorant fool, the Nomadic Tribe is wonderful! They’re mixed-blooded and beautiful, you’re just envious and hate!

Gu Changsheng sliced a sharp look at Landuoer, feeling an itch in her hand wanting to slap the girl’s smug face!

Why does she look so stupid?

While stroking the horse’s head, Gu Changsheng, no pushover herself, cast another disdainful glance at Landuoer, unable to resist speaking carelessly, "Whether a horse is good or not really depends on the rider! Just like a good horse needs a good saddle — no matter how great the horse or saddle is, if the rider isn’t good, only falls await, wouldn’t you say?"

"..." Landuoer was instantly silenced.

This pairing of good horse with good saddle, speaking of horses but implying humans, Landuoer understood this much. Was the woman saying that even if she dressed the best and came from the best background, it couldn’t compare to her looks?

What a foul woman!

Gu Changsheng looked at the speechless, angered Landuoer and was instantly satisfied, unable to help but hum twice.

Little thing, trying to fight with me!

Though I haven’t experienced house or palace battles, I at least watched a few television dramas in modern times—who’s afraid of who? I’ll leave you speechless!

Standing behind Zhou Mu, seeing his wife full of fighting spirit, Yuan Bao was instantly horrified!

Godfather, how bored must his wife be to spar verbally with a young girl? This is just...

Moreover, using Witch Gu Horses to compare with someone’s ordinary horses was already winning unfairly, how could she shamelessly say someone’s good horse doesn’t match the saddle? This is clearly the behavior of a rogue...

Yuan Bao glanced at his unfazed master, wiping his forehead unsure if it was rainwater or sweatwater, thinking silently: He’s still not up to his master. Look at how unflappable his master is, fully habituated to his wife’s antics!

But to condone his wife bullying the lady from the Tashi Tribe like this, is it really okay? Is it? Do we still want to visit the Tashi Tribe?

Yuan Bao suddenly started to worry. Heaven have mercy, would they be driven out with sticks before even stepping into the Tashi Tribe’s territory? This... it’s really uncertain!

Wasn’t it clear that his wife had seriously offended the lady there?

"Hmph! You sure have a way with words, I hope your horsemanship is as good as your gab!" Landuoer looked at Gu Changsheng, whose face was full of smiles, and felt a surge of anger, especially when her gaze fell on the man next to her, who resembled an Exiled Immortal. Her eyes darkened, and after tossing out those words, she led her horse outside!

"This person..." Yuan Bao watched Landuoer and her servant leave first, his pointing finger trembling, "is really too disrespectful..."

He originally intended to say, they were really asking for trouble!

"Forget it, we can’t forbid people from talking big, can we?" Gu Changsheng cheerfully waved her hand, beckoned to Zhou Mu, and the two of them led their Witch Gu Horses and chased after Landuoer...

Seeing this, Yuan Bao stomped his foot but still brought a horse out of the stable and followed the group of four...

He had to follow. Relying on his master to persuade his wife to be less bullying was simply impossible, so as a servant, he had to be diligent.

The air on the prairie carried the scent of grass, and now that it was raining, the air was particularly fresh. Along the way, Gu Changsheng, who cherished comfort, had nestled in the carriage a lot, so she barely rode horses!

To be honest, for someone who was used to driving sports cars in the modern world, horse riding was really kind of pointless; there was none of that exhilarating feeling of reaching extreme speeds, was there?

The drizzling rain pattering on the face made it indescribably comfortable, except for squinting a bit, but it didn’t really affect horse racing.

The group led their horses out of the Kelie faction leisurely. When they reached an open area, Landuoer stopped, wearing a half-hearted smile, and looked at Gu Changsheng, "See that little hill? Let’s race to the top of it. Whoever gets there first wins. How about it?"

"Alright..." Gu Changsheng glanced at the distant small hill and responded listlessly.

Then she watched as Landuoer nimbly mounted her horse. Her slim figure and dashing riding attire looked absolutely impressive, and Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but nod in approval. Yes, quite good, very impressive mounting skills!

At least better than hers!

She didn’t know such flashy moves!

More precisely, even if she wanted to show off like that now, she wouldn’t necessarily manage to do it!

God knows, she had clearly been dragged out by her evildoer husband for this horse race! What she wore wasn’t exactly riding attire, was it? Her trailing skirt, though not as long as a few dozen feet, was still a foot long. If she mounted like that, what if it got tangled around her feet and she fell on her back like Yang Mencha?

Gu Changsheng was a very pragmatic person, knowing that her clothes were truly unsuitable for such dashing mounting moves, she immediately gave up. Under Landuoer’s scrutinizing gaze, Gu Changsheng mounted the horse... slowly...

We’ve come to race horses to cultivate our minds; it’s still raining, so there’s no rush, is there? We were just worrying about how to pass the time!

So, Gu Changsheng first lifted a corner of her skirt, then lifted another corner, placed one foot on the stirrup...

Then...

Gu Changsheng paused. Oh no, both hands were busy lifting her skirt, there were no free hands to grab the reins. What to do when there aren’t enough hands?

"Evildoer, give me a hand!" Gu Changsheng wasn’t a subtle person; more accurately, she never intended to be subtle, so she unhesitatingly requested external help!

Zhou Mu, watching his little woman’s horse mounting antics, was already amused enough. Hearing this, his expression, as serene as a Divine Residence, became undecided between laughing or not. Yet, he indulgently shook his head at her, walked over, and gently lifted her by the waist, helping her onto the horse!

Once on the horse, Gu Changsheng’s first action wasn’t to grab the reins but to release her hold on the skirt, leisurely arrange it properly, thinking how beautiful it would look with her dress fluttering while riding, yes, that’s the effect she wanted!

Initially, Landuoer had been watching Gu Changsheng with a mocking face as she mounted with some help, her expression became even more disdainful. However, seeing that the helper was Zhou Mu, her disdain turned instantly into jealousy!

"Hmph!" Another cold snort, Landuoer felt Gu Changsheng was showing off!

Upon hearing her scoff, Gu Changsheng ignored her and continued arranging her skirt. If someone’s having a fit, you really can’t do anything about it!

"The race begins!" Landuoer, staring coldly at Gu Changsheng on the horse, declared.

"Oh... alright! You start first, my skirt isn’t ready. I’ll catch up with you in a moment..." Gu Changsheng, not turning her head or glancing at Landuoer, responded nonchalantly...
