The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 666 - 667: Insulting with Couplets

Liu Zixuan’s table had three people in total, and the one who just spoke was a very tall man, very fair-skinned. If he wore women’s clothing and put on some makeup, he would blend in among women without being noticed. More importantly, his voice was relatively light, and his manner of speaking was quite effeminate.

Beside them, watching and smiling at the two was a not very tall, slightly chubby guy, who looked quite honest and straightforward.

Liu Zixuan smiled upon hearing this, took out the folding fan, and exhibited a scholarly demeanor: "Since it’s just the three of us at this table, let’s begin."

"Alright, this young master is too lazy to waste words with you."

The effeminate man glanced at Liu Zixuan, then said, "Who will start with the first line?"

"I’ll go first!" The honest guy chuckled, looked around, and said, "Indeed, many young masters from various families are here today, but there are also those who come to fill the numbers with unrealistic dreams in broad daylight. So, I’ll respond to this by giving an upper line; whichever of you two matches it first, wins!"

"No problem." Liu Zixuan and the effeminate man nodded.

"Listen carefully, my upper line is: Yelang makes unrealistic dreams in broad daylight!"

Liu Zixuan laughed at this: "Great upper line, ’Yelang arrogant’ comes from a story, and it implies ridicule. ’Daydream’ makes the ridicule even more obvious. Brother, cursing without using foul language!"

"Dare you curse?" The effeminate man retorted angrily: "Look at yourself; I think you are the one dreaming in daylight!"

"You two, please start matching the lower line. Since you say I am cursing, you can retaliate!" The honest man shrugged.

The effeminate man furrowed his brows and began to ponder.

Liu Zixuan touched his chin, suddenly his eyes lit up, he closed the folding fan: "I got it, my lower line is: Lovely woman acts in vain like a dark spirit!"

"Yelang matches lovely woman, unrealistic matches acts in vain, daydream matches dark spirit, what a good pair!" The honest man laughed: "It’s also implying that someone resembles a female ghost!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Zixuan and the honest man exchanged glances, and they both understood each other implicitly. With this pairing, they both ended up cursing the effeminate man.

The effeminate man paused for a moment, then realized, slammed the table: "You are truly vulgar!"

"You couldn’t match it, so you’re the loser. Now it’s your turn to give a line; if either of us matches it, then you’re eliminated!" The honest man said.

"Cursing? Who can’t do it!"

The effeminate man pondered for a moment, looked at the fan in Liu Zixuan’s hand, then laughed: "My upper line is: A little scholar, wears winter clothes, holds a summer fan, can you read through Spring and Autumn?"

"Oh, that’s interesting!" The honest man laughed: "This undoubtedly curses this brother who looks like an ordinary person, yet has to take out a fan to pose as a cultured one, also mocking whether you have read the Spring and Autumn books. Absolutely, I can’t match it!"

Upon seeing the man help with the analysis, then say he can’t match the lower line, the effeminate man became even more smug.

Mocking laugh: "How, can’t match it out? Earlier you said I was like a female ghost, and now what? Aren’t you just posing as a cultured trash?"

"Who are you calling trash?" Liu Zixuan retorted.

"Calling you trash!" The effeminate man replied without hesitation, which made Liu Zixuan and the honest man burst into laughter.

Realizing it, glaring at Liu Zixuan: "You..."

"What about me?" Liu Zixuan teased with a smile: "Isn’t it just an upper line? I’ll match it!"

"Fine, I want to see what you can come up with; if it’s slightly asymmetric, then you’ve lost!" The effeminate man shouted.

Liu Zixuan pondered for a moment, from the effeminate man’s accent, he guessed this rascal might be from Desolate Country, shook the folding fan a few times, and smiled: "My lower line is: A little sissy, born in the north, comes to the south, is that thing still there?"

"Hahahahahaha!" Upon hearing Liu Zixuan’s lower line, the honest man laughed uncontrollably.

But the effeminate man’s face turned pale, as Liu Zixuan’s lower line clearly cursed him as an eunuch, overly effeminate. The last line ’is that thing still there?’ directly elevated the entire lower line’s grade multiple times!

"Truly vulgar!" The effeminate man flushed and cursed.

"It’s mutual; did you think you were any better!" Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows: "We Star Sea people have no good feelings for sissy Desolate Country people like you. Want to marry a Star Sea girl? Don’t even think about it in your next life!"

"Hmph! If you’ve got guts, see me at the martial arts arena!"

The effeminate man, attacked by their mutual verbal assault, became furious but also worried about being disqualified, so he flicked his sleeves and walked outside, accepting his elimination.

The honest man gave Liu Zixuan a thumbs up: "Brother, I admire you, with two pairs of couplets, you made that Desolate Country guy feel utterly ashamed!"

"I accept your compliment." Liu Zixuan cupped his hands: "Now between the two of us? Do we continue, or what?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Continue, of course. Now that there’s no foreigner around, we don’t need to do the cursing thing." The honest man said.

Liu Zixuan waved the fan: "Please..."

The honest man thought for a moment: "Brother, my upper line was written three years ago, and no one has matched it in these three years; if you can match it, I’ll withdraw from the verbal duel, accept elimination! If you can’t match it, you accept elimination."

"Speak it out!" Liu Zixuan knew that the honest man was about to bring out his bottom-pricing goods. He became cautious, as he had bragged to Bai Jingjing about it; if he loses in the first round of the verbal duel, it would truly be embarrassing.

The honest man slowly stood up, walked halfway around the table, and said: "My upper line is: Hook above is old, hook below is exam, old exam student, young student exams till old."

The first two lines are somewhat a play on splitting characters, but the trick lies in the word ’hook’. It’s indeed a difficult lower line to match.

"Brother, please ponder carefully; this couplet has faced many knowledgeable people who couldn’t match it!" The honest man said proudly: "Even if you can’t match it, it’s okay; there’s still the martial duel."

Liu Zixuan frowned and sank into deep thought.

After about a minute, he laughed: "This couplet is indeed difficult!"

"So, brother admits defeat?" The honest man laughed: "Actually admitting defeat is no problem; with such a difficult upper line, not just you, but in the whole venue, I think no one can match it."

The words of the honest man naturally carried a bit of pride, as he relied on this upper line to make many scholarly people daunt with awe.

Liu Zixuan slowly folded the fan and smiled faintly: "It’s difficult, but not to the point of defeating me. Naturally, there’s no question of admitting defeat."

"You can match it?" The honest man’s expression changed instantly, for if Liu Zixuan matched it, then he’d be the one to be eliminated!
