âXiao Xiao, we heard you are becoming more and more capable!â
Zhou
niangzhi
teased, then turned to look at Zhen
niangzhi
, smiling, âZhen
niangzhi
, I heard your Danhang was here to help out today eh?â
âYeah, that kid. I have no idea why he wanted to come help out. But since he volunteered, I have no reason to stop him!â replied Zhen
niangzhi
was a smile, while looking at Cheng Xiao Xiao up and down. She was quite happy with her.
How could she not know what was going on in her sonâs mind. Even though she hasnât seen Cheng Xiao Xiao a lot, but she knew sheâs a fair maiden. In the past three years, everybody had a pretty good idea what kind of family the Chengâs were. But they also understand that most families didnât really measure up to them.
Not to mention that the girl in front of her was as pretty as a flower, with a distinguished air of elegance. If her son could score her, itâd definitely be a good deal for him.
All the women had a pretty good idea what was going on. Mrs. Cheng seemed a bit uneasy. Certainly she wanted her daughter to find a husband, but sheâs from a higher class family; for now she was not interested in a family like that of Zhen
niangzhi
âs, where they couldnât even provide three meals a day on a regular basis.
But since they never really brought up the subject, she couldnât really turn anything down This was Cheng Xiao Xiaoâs second time round, she could tell what was going on in Zhen
niangzhi
âs mind. Looking at her own mother, she said, âMom, why donât you go chat with the other
dainiang
in the courtyard? Iâll be back after I picked some vegetables!â
âOkay, we will let you be!â said Mrs. Cheng, then to the village women next to her, âZhou
niangzhi
, Zhen
niangzhi
, why donât you follow me?â
âOkay, letâs go to your place!â said Zhou
niangzhi
with a smile.
Zhen
niangzhi
was just about to start walking before she stopped and said to Cheng Xiao Xiao, âXiao Xiao, donât take too long. Come and chat with us soon!â
âOkay!â said Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.
While it was bustling inside and outside of the Chengâs, inside the Ningâs in town was quite the opposite. Inside one of the quarters, Ning Xunzong was in a discussion with his two
shi xiong
while lying in bed.
â
Shi xiong
Zhou, is that true?â Ning Xunzongâs eyes beamed. He looked a bit pale, but there was joy could be seen between his brows
âOf course itâs true, would I lie to you?â replied
Shi xiong
Zhou a bit impatiently.
â
Shi di
Ning, donât worry. We all got the message. School of Divine Condor will be sending their representatives When they got here, we will explain to them the situation of the Chengâs!â
Shi xiong
Gu laughed coldly.
With their recent defeat at the Chengâs, they were dying to get even. Nevertheless, they dared not take any actions right now since they werenât a match to the Chengâs. All they could do was to wait for backup.
Thinking about the Chengâs made Ning Xunxong felt painful all over. Granted, he was literally in pain all over. Thick hatred beamed out of his eyes, through gritted teeth he said, âWhen the envoys from School of Divine Condor got here, the Chengâs will wish they were dead. Especially that scoundrel Cheng Xiao Xiao, I am going to smash her into minced meat. Thatâs the only way to retaliate!â
âYou are right! We canât let her off easily!â Recalling she had also smacked him with the fly swatter, his tone was murderous.
The other one also have murderous intent oozing out of him. Deadly air fill the entire room.
Contrasting their murderous intent, Innkeeper Zhu was hysterical and perturbed. By now he was curtained that the two deacons plus the man he sent last night had all been killed by the Chengâs.

Not knowing what the Chengâs capable of, he feared to take any more actions. He had no choice but to wait for orders from his employer. He had already informed his employer of what had been going on through the fastest mean possible.
From this point on, everything was out of his hands other than to wait. Naturally, he felt regretful that they werenât able to negotiate a deal with the Chengâs. Had that happened, heâd be set for the rest of his life. Now that things had escalated to this point, heâd had to accept the fact that it wasnât meant to be.
Speaking of, the Chengâs was not just lively, but super festive. Even the village women who just swung by to chitchat ended u staying for lunch. That and the villagers who came to help, of course itâd be festive!
Mrs. Cheng slaughtered chickens, ducks, and rabbits for lunch and everybody was extremely satisfied with the meal.
The meal wasnât a big deal in and of itself, it was the fact that the villagers half seriously and half jokingly trying to set up Cheng Xiao Xiao and Liu Danhang that made Cheng Xiao Xiao felt minorly irritated and helpless.
She especially found it difficult to facet the way that Liu Danhang looked at her. The only saving grace was that her parents didnât seem particularly interested in marrying her off to Liu Danhang. That made her feel slightly better.
In order to avoid those who were still lingering around in their house, Cheng Xiao Xiao made up some reasons and excused herself from the courtyard. She couldnât handle being there any longer and didnât want to blurt out anything that would make everyone felt awkward.
After leaving the house, she went to the bamboo forest. It was then when she remembered she had imprisoned three people inside the bamboo forest and she wondered how they were doing.
Cheng Xiao Xiao slowly approached the other side of the bamboo forest. When she saw the three prisoners, she couldnât help but to smile. It had been two days and the two deacons looked about the same as she had last saw them.
Her appearance also got their attention. They couldnât speak so they just stared at her with deadly intent. If they could, theyâd kill her with their eyes.
âSay, how you all doing?â Cheng Xiao Xiao walked up to them. The snaked all looked up at her and hissed as she walked toward them.
Feeling the welcome from the snakes, Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, âNice snakies. Help me guard them for a few more days!â
Hissssâ
The snakies hissed again. Everything seemed normal but the two deacons turned pale. They stared at the 15, 16 year old girl in front of them incredulously. If could they could speak, they would be shouting out, âYou are a beast tamer!â
Even though they couldnât speak, they were all thinking of the same thing. At this moment, they were no longer looking at Cheng Xiao Xiao with distain and hatefulness. Those had been replaced with fear and dismay, and a shred of regret that they have yet to realize.
They knew full well how stupid it was to offend a beast tamer. They asked for this. Forget about them, even their master dare not offend a beast tamer. Even the royals regard them as royal guests!
And now, they have offended the youngest beast tamer in history. Itâs too late to even regretâŠ.
Cheng Xiao Xiao read their thought from their eyes, smiling she said, âYou are right, Iâm a beast tamer. Should I summon a few other friends to play with you?â
Play?
She wanted to kill them?
The three prisoners shook their head and pleaded for her mercy with their eyes.
âOh, so now you are afraid? Why didnât you think about that when you came to bully me?â
