Seemingly
remember her old days, the sadness on Mrs. Cheng’s face was even more apparent.
“Mom, don’t
worry!” Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit touched, this mother truly have her best interest
in mind. Gently, she said, “Mom, I have said this before. I will choose my own
husband, someone that I like. If he dares let my days be difficult, I will simply
divorce him!”1
Amusing by Cheng Xiao Xiao’s words, Mrs. Cheng chuckled. In a playful
complaining voice, she said, “That’s silly talk! Women don’t [initiate] divorce
their husband!”
“Sure! Me!
If he’s not obedient enough, I’ll divorce him!”
“You! Who
will dare to marry you!”
“Hrm, I
don’t want an old maiden. It’ll make me lose face!”
“Ouch, mom,
that is hurtful. Are you saying that your face is more important than your
precious daughter?”
“Hrm, hrm.
Of course my face is more important. If you don’t look for a suitable family, I
will kick you out of the house!”
“I wouldn’t
dare, mom. How about this, I don’t marry out, I can find a husband to marry in.
How’s that?”
The two of
them chatted and walked toward the house at the same time. After the random
conversation, Mrs. Cheng had since changed the conversation and didn’t ask
about the “business” again.
The day at
the Cheng’s returned to it’s usual quiet and busy state!
On Mount
Wanan, Liu Tianshan carried a large bucket of water with him and shouted out
loudly as he walked on, “Water! Water for sale! Any one who wants water better
come over soon! Two mystical stones for one bottle of mystical water! Better
hurry! Last call for mystical water for the day!”
“STOP!”
An angry
voice came from the woods. Liu Tianshan stopped on his way and was not upset at
all. Looking at the enraged person, he said, “Instructor Mu, would you like
some water?”
“Give me a
bottle!” said Mu Qingtong through gritted teeth.
“One bottle
coming up!” Carrying the bucket of water, Liu Tianshan approached him quickly,
calling out as he walked, “Hurry up to get your water! Even Instructor Mu is
buying water now! Come quickly, we will stop selling soon!”
“You!”
Veins could
be seen bulging up on his forehead. Mu Qingtong stared at him viciuosly, his
eyes widened. It looked as though he wanted to eat his flash.
Liu Tianshan
paid no attention to the way he was looking at him. After he had filled his
water bottle and returned it back to him, he continued to call out, “Come get
your mystical water quickly! Last call for mystical water!”
“Okay! Stop
shouting! Give me a bottle!”
“The evil
Cheng’s, charging so much even for the water!”
“If I buy
the water now, I won’t be able to afford to eat today!”
“Who else
has extra mystical stones to loan to me?”
A few
unkempt bodies came out from the woods. While they were talking, they all
stared angrily at Liu Tianshan. In the last few days, they were about to lose
their minds from the way they were treated by the Cheng’s. They had to trade
for any food!
The worst
part of it all was that there were no food, drinks, any accessories in the
woods. So they had no choice but to buy from the Cheng’s!
Some of them
have already used up all everything that they have with them for trading and
had to rely on the help of others. How could they not hate the Cheng’s? Every
time they heard the food or water calls they wanted to beat them to a pulp.
But, they
didn’t dare. Even though there were a lot of them, but they were still no match
for the Cheng’s. There were simply nothing they could do.
Even if it’s
just Liu Tianshan by himself, these students still dare not take any actions.
As soon as they move in on him, a group of azure wolves or white tigers would
appear behind him!

Notes:
1. In ancient China (granted, this is a
parallel universe), women don’t initiate divorces, and it’s a big deal when a
women was divorced by their husbands. Practically the woman’s life will be over.
