Chapter 743 - 740: Specially Trained Horses
The others holding the reins looked enviously at their companion extending the invitation, thinking how wonderful it would be to accompany such a stunning beauty, even if it was for free!
Those who make a living from this know well that first-time female riders' screams and chaos on horseback are delightful, offering the perfect chance to sneak a little touch, bringing a happiness that bursts the scale!
Of course, encountering male riders and unattractive female riders is genuinely torturous, usually handled by ending the ordeal as quickly as possible, regardless of complaints.
After all, visitors are tourists, and there's no concept of repeat customers. The value for money or disappointment is entirely up to the whim of these cowboys.
Xiao Tian found this amusing; he initially planned to use this chance to take Lin Bingxuan for a fun ride, unexpectedly coming across a profession rumored to be done even for free.
Xiao Tian noticed Lin Bingxuan was a little tempted, so he seized the reins from the cowboy and, imitating him, invited her: "My beautiful princess, would you like to gallop with me?"
Lin Bingxuan couldn't help but laugh, her face turning red from the cheers of the crowd, and with Xiao Tian's assistance, she mounted the horse.
Xiao Tian casually swung a leg over and sat behind Lin Bingxuan, shaking the reins and shouted, "Giddy up!"
Upon receiving the command, the horse pushed off twice with its hind legs, then took off suddenly, speeding down the designated track.
With Lin Bingxuan's slender waist in his arms, Xiao Tian leaned in and asked, "How is it, princess? Is my operation okay?"
Lin Bingxuan chuckled, "What's there to operate? You just shouted 'Giddy up!'"
"Well, my princess, do you believe me when I say, if you yell it, it might not have the same effect?" Xiao Tian teased.
Hearing the repeated "princess" by her ear, Lin Bingxuan felt both awkward and sweet, like she truly was a princess, and the prince was behind her.
However, upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Lin Bingxuan retorted defiantly, "You talk as if the horse only listens to you!"
"If that's the case, then how about a wager?" Xiao Tian proposed with interest.
Lin Bingxuan responded immediately, "Alright, you set the terms!" After all, she already belonged to him, heart and soul; what's there to fear from a bet?
"Splendid!" Xiao Tian praised her straightforwardness: "Let's bet a kiss. If you lose, you kiss me; if I lose, I kiss you. How's that? Fair and reasonable, right?"
Lin Bingxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, wondering how that was fair or reasonable?!
Still, she nodded in agreement.
"Great!" Xiao Tian grinned triumphantly, "You can start now."
Lin Bingxuan didn't need to look to know the person behind her was surely wearing a victorious grin, so she composed herself and shouted, "Whoa!"
The sound was long and melodious, reminiscent of a heroine from a drama, except...
Despite Lin Bingxuan's command, the horse showed no sign of stopping and continued at a steady pace, making her widen her eyes in surprise.
Logically, Xiao Tian shouldn't be able to use True Qi, so any tricks should be ineffective. How did he manage to get the horse to listen only to his commands?
"How was it, princess?" Xiao Tian chuckled: "Since you lost, hurry up!" He leaned closer.
Lin Bingxuan blinked her beautiful eyes and argued, "Maybe it doesn't listen to you either; why don't you try? If it obeys you, I'll admit defeat!"
With a confident smile, Xiao Tian swung the reins sharply and shouted, "Giddy up!"
The horse, following the command, picked up the pace a bit, making Lin Bingxuan momentarily panic and admit to herself that she had indeed lost!
Turning her head slightly, Lin Bingxuan blushed and gently touched her cherry lips to Xiao Tian's cheek, fulfilling the wager.
Xiao Tian beamed with happiness and then suddenly pressed his lips against hers...
After a long time, they separated.
Two rosy blushes appeared on Lin Bingxuan's pretty face, her breathing a bit rapid, and after a moment, she asked, "I still don't quite get it. How did you do it?"
"It's simple!"
Xiao Tian's mouth curled up as he revealed, "Because this isn't a warhorse meant for combat!"
"So, the training method is different?" Lin Bingxuan immediately understood.
"You're so clever!" Xiao Tian praised Lin Bingxuan while planting another light kiss on her fiery cheek.
Lin Bingxuan felt a full face of black lines; this guy was truly skilled at seizing opportunities, his ability to exploit had matured to such an extent!
"Wait a moment!" Lin Bingxuan suddenly blinked her pretty eyes: "If it's specially trained, then how did you know? You better not tell me you used to do this job."
Xiao Tian looked at Lin Bingxuan, who imagined wildly, dumbfounded; how could she think of that? How could I have done that job?
But Xiao Tian quickly understood; Lin Bingxuan's suspicion was reasonable. Unless you've done it, how would you know how to handle specially trained horses?
However, Xiao Tian hadn't actually done it.
After pondering briefly, Xiao Tian explained, "I noticed earlier that a girl was excitedly shouting 'giddy up' on the horse but the horse didn't move, which puzzled me..."
"Wait!" Lin Bingxuan interrupted: "You were observing that girl closely? I didn't even notice."
Xiao Tian was speechless, about to explain, but Lin Bingxuan asked another question: "Was that girl pretty?"
Though ordinary words, Xiao Tian sensed danger in them. His survival instinct told him his answer needed to be cautious and flawless.
"I didn't notice her looks, but she's not someone I'd remember for a lifetime like you are!"
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's answer, Lin Bingxuan's serious expression melted into a smile, satisfied, nodding.
Secretly wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Xiao Tian regretted whether letting Lin Bingxuan learn martial arts was right or wrong.
"Go on!" Lin Bingxuan urged, interrupting Xiao Tian's thoughts.
"Then I found that when the cowboy shouted 'giddy up,' the reins angle wasn't straight up and down, and the position where the reins hit the horse's neck varied." Xiao Tian explained, "So I concluded that these horses were specially trained."
Lin Bingxuan nodded knowingly; it made sense, otherwise, if anyone could easily control the horses, what would happen if someone rode them away?
With tourists from all over the world, where would you find them if they really ran off?
