I paused deliberately, wanting to see Shen Mengqing's reaction.
As if she had already thought through the ultimate unconditional demand in her mind, Shen Mengqing did not show any displeasure at my words.
On the contrary, after I paused, the woman actually winked at me provocatively and chuckled, "Sure! No problem!"
"Whether you want to be on top of me or below me, I'm totally okay with either!"
After speaking, Shen Mengqing lightly touched her red lips and white dress with her fingers.
To be honest, Shen Mengqing's graceful figure combined with her gesture was truly seductive!
But compared to her almost perfect body, what I wanted more was...
Shaking my head slightly, I continued my previous sentence, "I'm sorry, you misunderstood!"
"I meant, I want you to... teach me the flying card technique!"
The moment she heard my words, the hint of provocation in Shen Mengqing's eyes froze.
But then she smiled again, her laughter shaking her body and causing her chest to heave.
Seeing this, I took a deep breath and turned my gaze elsewhere as much as possible, so as not to be disturbed by the scene before me.
To say I wasn't tempted by Shen Mengqing's body would be a lie!
Men like to look at beautiful women, especially to do things with them that are meant to be done. It's only natural and right.
At this point, I'm sure some people will say: If that's the case, why are you pretending to be so proper? I've already taken off my pants, and this is all I get to see?
Moreover, as long as I could sleep with Shen Mengqing, wouldn't the flying card technique come with it?
Actually, I want to say that perhaps you understand women.
But you definitely don't understand women who are in the Qianmen (gambling world).
Women in the Qianmen have everything you have! And they also have what you don't have!
It's hard for such women to develop trust and reliance on men, let alone any sense of security or responsibility!
When a woman earns much, much, much more than you, how do you win her over?
Is it with eloquent words, or with physical prowess?
Let's stop fooling ourselves!
If a woman from the Qianmen is willing to give you her body, it's not because she trusts you, relies on you, or even likes you. It's purely because she has a need.
Especially a perfect, top-tier woman like Shen Mengqing. The premise of her spending a night with you is simply because she's willing, or rather, has a need.
Perhaps there's an additional factor: she finds you somewhat pleasing to the eye.
But if you expect her to be completely devoted to you and cling to you after sleeping with her, that's unrealistic.
To put it bluntly, the most likely outcome after sleeping with her is: desire extinguished, clothes put back on, a change of attitude, and she walks away!
They say the Orchid Gate is the most heartless!
But in reality, women in the Qianmen are pretty much the same.
So, it's better to be realistic and rational!
Besides, I desired Shen Mengqing's flying card technique much more than I desired her body!
As I was lost in thought, Shen Mengqing said with a giggle, "Little brother, you're quite something! You've even learned to pause!"
Ignoring Shen Mengqing's teasing, I directly asked, "So, this flying card technique, will you teach it or not?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengqing agreed without even considering it.
"I can teach you! But..."
Changing her tone, and mimicking my pause, Shen Mengqing immediately put on a serious expression and said, "You must promise not to pass it on!"
"No problem!"
I agreed decisively, and my heart was filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation.
Men remain boys until they die! Doesn't every man have a wuxia dream in his heart?
In my opinion, Shen Mengqing's flying card technique is no less impressive than Li Xunhuan's flying daggers.
It's both cool and very practical!
Following Cheng Minglang's instructions to build a strong foundation through physical training before practicing martial arts, I could already imagine what it would be like when I mastered both the flying card technique and martial arts.
Once I achieve mastery, whether there are problems in gambling games or trouble in life, besides self-preservation, I can also protect the entire team as much as possible.
Thus, over the next few days, I began practicing the flying card technique with Shen Mengqing.
Since Uncle Tuo had previously taught me the gambling techniques of flicking and flying cards, I was able to quickly grasp the essentials when practicing Shen Mengqing's flying card technique.
The only difference from the gambling techniques was that Shen Mengqing's flying card technique relied more on wrist strength.
Only when the wrist strength is fully up to par can accuracy, power, and speed keep up.
After agreeing to teach me the flying card technique, Shen Mengqing generously shared all sorts of tips for improving wrist strength.
Subsequently, with Cheng Minglang's help, my progress was astonishingly fast, and my wrist strength quickly met the requirements.
The flying card technique was thus at the beginner stage.
...
During the days I was practicing the flying card technique, Kang Muru and Yang Yuanyuan called me several times.
I wasn't surprised at all that Kang Muru called me.
It was incredibly easy for a casino to get someone's contact information.
Kang Muru called me for a simple reason: compensation!
My previous actions had almost cost him his job. Although I had escaped the gambling ship, he had found my workplace.
Kang Muru threatened that if I didn't compensate him, he would come to find me himself.
Compared to Kang Muru's directness, Yang Yuanyuan was much more subtle.
So subtle that each time, she would hint at a message to me through other matters, either overtly or covertly.
Yang Yuanyuan's intention was that if I remained indifferent to the previous incident, she would bypass Shen Mengqing... and retaliate against me directly.
She said that no one in Wenzhou had ever dared to plot against her, let alone share a bed with her in such a manner.
Yang Yuanyuan's words made me want to laugh.
Honestly, after confirming that Shen Mengqing was not an accomplice, I thought that since Yang Yuanyuan was Shen Mengqing's good friend, I would let it slide for her sake.
After all, the setup she orchestrated had also deceived Shen Mengqing.
If I really intended to pursue it, it would be difficult to reach a conclusion anytime soon.
But unexpectedly, this woman treated me like a fool. It was clearly a case of the thief shouting "Stop thief!" yet she insisted on blaming me.
Since she was so oblivious, she couldn't blame me for being impolite.
With that in mind, I decided to teach Yang Yuanyuan an unforgettable and profound lesson!
Of course, there was also Kang Muru, that mad dog!
Both of them were like thieves crying "Stop thief!", and they wouldn't learn their lesson unless they suffered some hardship!
