Chapter 506 - Longing for More (1/2)

Yu Xiaocao had just finished speaking when, with a tearing sound, one of Ning Donghuan’s pant legs was ripped off, revealing the pale skin of his thigh and hair on his leg. All the noble maidens screamed in surprise and quickly turned around. Their faces were flushed red from embarrassment. As for the tattered pant leg, it was currently in the mouth of the innocent-looking Little Black.

“Take your hands off…no, take your mouth off!! Miss Yu, if you don’t control your dog, I’m going to be butt naked! As a man, I’m not afraid of being seen, but I’m afraid of dirtying the eyes of all you noble maidens. Miss Yu, please have mercy and tell Little Black to let go of me!” Ning Donghuan didn’t know where he should cover. He felt extremely relieved that he had worn underpants. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to maintain his integrity ah!

“I can tell Little Black to let go of you, but you must tell me honestly. What did you do to provoke Little Black? It’s not easily angered.” Yu Xiaocao was very curious. This fellow had disappeared for the entire afternoon. Could it be that he had gone to annoy Little Black?

A gust of mountain breeze blew. The chilliness caused Ning Donghuan to hug his shoulders. He replied with a pitiful expression, “Didn’t you say that, as long as I can tame Little Black and Little White, they will belong to me? It didn’t seem like I should provoke Little White, so with my little skills in training dogs, I decided to go for Little Black. I didn’t expect that it shouldn’t be trifled with either. It won’t hurt people, but it specially targeted my clothes. If you guys found me a little later, I would probably have to run away naked!”

Yu Xiaocao didn’t pity him at all. This fool was quite bold to actually want to tame Little Black. She curled up her lips and sneered, “Third Young Master Ning, be glad that you came along with us and Little Black had met you several times. If you were a stranger, it wouldn’t be your clothes that got torn but your body instead!”

Ning Donghuan imagined that scary scene and shuddered. So fortunate! Fortunately, Little Black recognized him. Otherwise, his body would become completely tattered. He would become the first person in the capital to be bitten to death by a hound…

“Young Master, Third Young Master…” Another dreadful scream sounded. They turned around and saw Ning Donghuan’s personal manservant crying as he ran out from the thickets like there were savage beasts chasing after him.

Little Black had a lively temperament and liked to play pranks. As if it was a cat looking at a mouse, its blue eyes shined with excitement. Before it had spit out the pant leg in its mouth, it had dashed towards the frightened manservant. The manservant’s legs immediately went soft and he fell to the ground. With a ghastly pale face, his whole body trembled, and his cries came to an abrupt stop.

“What are you screaming about! You’re the one who got eaten by a dog!! I, your young master, am fine!!” After putting on the outer robe that he pulled off from his attendant, Ning Donghuan walked over and kicked the manservant, who was desperately crying for help with his eyes closed. This guy was really useless. At the critical moment, he had fainted from fright and was of no help at all. It seemed like he should change his manservant to one who knew martial arts!

“Young Master! You’re alright ah. That’s great!! Waahhh… If something happened to you, this servant can only make up for this fault with my life!!” When Guizhu heard the familiar voice, he wiped his snot and tears, hugged his master’s leg, and cried incessantly.

“Ning Donghuan shook his leg hard and said impatiently, “Alright, alright! Isn’t this lord fine? Quickly get up and stop being so embarrassing!! In the future, work on becoming braver so that you won’t faint from fright so easily. Otherwise, what do I need you for?!”

Guizhu got up from the ground and sobbed, “This servant was chased by a dog when I was a child, so I’m afraid of dogs. In the future, I will try to interact with the hounds at home as much as possible to overcome the weakness in my heart. I won’t embarrass my master again! Young Master, that dog is too fierce, so we won’t be able to control it. Let’s give up?”

Ning Donghuan was so angry that he rolled his eyes at him. He gnashed his teeth and said, “Even if you don’t speak, no one will think that you’re a mute!” What else could they do other than give up? If you had the ability of taming this beast, then this lord would serve you like you were my master! However, he didn’t dare to say this in front of Little Black for fear that he would really become butt naked.

Ning Donghuan, who had come back after changing his clothes at the plantation, felt that planting corn and potatoes was quite a novel experience. He clamored about wanting to experience the feeling of ‘hoeing grain at noon’ , and then went to work in the fields with a hoe. He Wanning also held a small basket of corn kernels and followed behind to sow the seeds. The soil stained her embroidered shoes and the hem of her dress was covered with dirt, but she was still in high spirits.

Yu Xiaocao hastily instructed Third Young Master Ning to ensure that there was a distance between each plant, and then she told He Wanning how many kernels she should sow each time. She had to run around in the field, which made her very mentally tired. It seemed like it was better to have less of these kinds of activities. It was too troublesome!

When the setting sun dyed the back mountain red, the group of noble young masters and maidens reluctantly left the Imperial Plantation. He Wanning’s body was so dirty that she looked like a clay figurine, but she was very excited, as if she wanted to continue. She said, “Younger Sister Xiaocao, do you think that the peach pits we buried will sprout and bloom next year, and produce peaches?”
