Chapter 435: Reciprocity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sensing the force on her hand, Feng Qing frowned, but it quickly dispersed. She immediately understood what Tessa meant. This kind of situation was common in movies and dramas, but this was the first time she had encountered it in reality. The plot was too melodramatic.
Although her hand was small, it was soft and nimble. She moved her thumb towards the left side of the thenar webspace and pressed hard on the back of Tessa’s hand.
The next second, the smile on Tersa’s face disappeared. A violent pain came from her hand. It felt like someone had pricked the tendons on her hand.
“Uh…” Tessa gasped and pulled back her hand. Feng Qing did not stop her, and her hand was freed. However, she had a smile on her face.
“Miss Tessa, what’s wrong with you?” Feng Jianing asked.
Tessa didn’t answer her question. Instead, she looked at Feng Qing and questioned, “Miss Feng Qing, what did you do to me when we shook hands just now?”
Feng Qing’s hands were behind her back as she blinked her large eyes at Tessa. Her face was filled with innocence, like a girl who was ignorant of the world.
Feng Qing smiled and looked into Tessa’s eyes. She said sweetly, “There’s an ancient saying in our Xia country. It’s called reciprocity. Since Miss Tessa is so passionate towards me, I naturally have to do the same.”
This was the first time Tessa had heard this ancient saying, but she was not interested in knowing what it meant. She just wanted to know how Feng Qing did it.
“You hurt my hand just now. You…” Tessa rubbed the back of her hand to emphasize.
Before she could finish, Duke Raymond interrupted, “Emily! Miss Feng Qing is my guest and one of the contestants who is here for the International Fragrance Competition. I hope you can be polite to her. As the President’s daughter, you represent the country to a certain extent. You have to remember
this.”
Raymond’s voice was firm and powerful, and his expression was even more dignified and solemn. Seeing him protect Feng Qing like this, Tessa was so angry that her face was flushed red, and she was extremely dissatisfied. However, the next second, she immediately changed into a smile and returned to
her noble and elegant appearance. The expression on her face changed so quickly that it was like flipping a book.
The corners of Tessa’s lips curled up. “Miss Feng Qing, today is the hunting party. You came from afar, so I’m willing to personally bring you hunting and let you experience the joy of hunting. I wonder if you’re willing?” Unlike Duke Raymond, she was wearing a standard hunting suit today. The color of
this suit was a little like a military camouflage suit, and it was very useful for hiding in the wilderness.
Feng Qing shook her head and said softly, “I’m sorry, I don’t have any equipment, so I can’t hunt with you.”
“It’s fine if you don’t want to hunt. There’s a shooting range over there. I can teach you archery. My archery skills are definitely top-notch.” Tessa didn’t give up and continued to invite Feng Qing to play with her.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing did not react. Instead, Duke Raymond’s thoughts became active. He had already begun to fantasize about teaching Feng Qing how to shoot arrows ‘hand by hand’. He even subconsciously glanced at Feng Qing’s hand. He wanted to know how soft her hand was.
“Qingging, you haven’t seen a real gun or arrow, right? After all, your Xia country has very strict controls on weapons. Why don’t you take this opportunity to experience it? If you’re willing, I can bring you to play.” Duke Raymond invited her.
Glancing at them, Feng Qing smiled bitterly in her heart. She new that she couldn’t reject them today. A Country F’s Duke and the President’s daughter had both invited her. If she still rejected them, it would be a little ungrateful.
“Alright, there’s another ancient saying in Xia country. The guest should do as the host wishes. In that case, I’ll go with you guys to take a look.” Feng Qing nodded.
The royal shooting range was well-equipped. The place was divided into an archery field and a shooting field. There were also dedicated service personnel and bodyguards inside.
After the group arrived, Duke Raymond personally pulled her around the two venues and personally taught her how to hold a gun and how to pull the bow and shoot an arrow. In the end, he suggested that Feng Qing learn how to use a gun. After all, a girl usually didn’t have the strength to pull a bow and
shoot an arrow.
