With these mystical beasts, who dare to touch any of the Cheng’s members? That’s like having a death wish. So even though they were extremely upset at the Cheng’s, they dare not do anything about it.
Liu Tianshan had them all figured out from the last few days of contact with them. It didn’t matter how rude they were, they still followed their orders. He pretended he didn’t hear their cussing, or see their staring. As his shi mei had said, you don’t lose a slice of flash when they cuss at you; nor would you get injured from their stares. Nothing is more important than the mystical stones.
Slowly the mystical water was sold out. Liu Tianshan turned and left. He was only here to do business.
Inside the courtyard of the Cheng’s!
“Xiao Xiao, you are reading!” Cheng Biyuan saw his daughter as he was coming in from the outside and said to her.
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked up from the journal that she was reading and put it down. Looking at her father walking inside, she said, “Dad, you looking for me?”
“Nothing specific, just wanted to chat with you. Wait for me for a second, let me go wipe down my face. It’s been so uncomfortably hot lately!”
He walked toward the kitchen as he was talking. The maid standing by the kitchen entrance had already gone in to help with getting the water.
After putting down the book in her hand, Cheng Xiao Xiao started preparing a cup of iced tea for her father.
She had only recently figured out how to make iced tea. Especially in weather like this, it’d cool your entire body with a cup of iced team. It was very popular with everyone since the first time she made it.
From the Cheng’s situation, they didn’t have any ice. But since the dimension gained the ying yang lake, Cheng Xiao Xiao had suggested for little Yuteng to create ice cubes from there. And these iced cubes were so pure they could be eaten directly.
Ever since there were these iced-cubes, Cheng Xiao Xiao finally felt like she was drinking iced water back in the 21st century. This put her in a good mood, which was why she hadn’t been going to pick on those up in the mountains.
Soon after, Cheng Biyuan had finished washing up and rejoined Cheng Xiao Xiao. Before he said a word, he took the iced tea that his daughter had poured for him and drank it all up. That wasn’t quiet enough so he had three more before he put the tea cup down.
“Dad, do you have something to talk to Xiao Xiao about?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.
Cheng Biyuan was now completely relaxed. He looked back at his daughter and asked, “Xiao Xiao, the associate dean and his men have been in the mountains for 6 to 7 days already, right?”
“Yeah, today is the 7th day!” nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao, a lit surprised that her father brought them up.
“Seven days!” Cheng Biyuan had a funny look on his face and said, “Xiao Xiao, I think the amount of trees they have cut down should be enough for us. Do you think we should release them about now?”
“Release them?” Cheng Xiao Xiao did not agree right away, but mumbled to herself, “Hmmm, they have less and less stuff on them. Keeping them any longer would be like feeding them, that’s not worth it. If there’s nothing more we can get from them, we should kick them out!”
“Ahem!”
After hearing her words, Cheng Biyuan turned away, embarrassed. He had heard about his daughter’s actions. He wasn’t sure what to make of her aggressive stance, but also didn’t want to interfere, so he just pretended that he didn’t know.
Now that he heard it directly from her, he felt embarrassed by her. That was way too money-grabbing!
“Dad, why are you [fake] coughing. I wasn’t doing that for myself. I have my reasons, and they happened to have what we need. So I have to somehow get it from them!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao matter of factly.
Cheng Biyuan couldn’t agree with her viewpoint, but he noticed another issue immediately and asked, “Xiao Xiao, what was your reasons? Do you need dad’s help?”
