Chapter 36: A Tuft of Fur (2/2)
Fang Zhengzhi cleared his throat, and began to speak once again.
”Then… may I invite Uncle Qingshan, to distribute the tuft of fur on top of the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog’s head to Auntie Li!”
”Pff!” Ding Qingshan was drinking his water at this moment, and abruptly spat it out.
The other villagers were also taken aback. When they managed to react, their looks that bore the expression of one looking at a fool instantly shifted onto Mrs Li.
”A tuft of fur?!”
”This… Ha ha ha, he distributed a tuft of fur!”
”This kid Zhengzhi, I already said that he had potential, looks like I wasn’t wrong!”
The villagers all began to laugh. Nobody criticised Fang Zhengzhi’s idea. Because, if it were them, they would have done the same. Except…
This idea, how did he even think of it?
Mrs Li’s face was black as night, her thick, muscular arms began to quiver. She finally understood the meaning behind Fang Zhengzhi’s words just now.
”Fang Zhengzhi!” Mrs Li’s fist tightened furiously. She was defeated by a seven year old kid, moreover, it was a very obvious display of intellectual defeat. Her anger almost caused blood to spurt out of her mouth.
She hated, hated herself for her impulsive actions just now. How could she have not stated clearly before, the hog had to be split equally into half? At the very least, receiving one metal tooth was also not too bad either!
But it was already too late.
The words had already left her mouth. She wanted to shamelessly go back on her words, start bawling, ”Bully!”... But, going back on her words to a seven year old kid , shouting that she was bullied by a seven year old kid?
No matter how thick her skin was, she really couldn’t bring herself to do it.
”Hmph!” Mrs Li snorted coldly, forcefully stomped her feet, turned around and dashed into the crowd. In a flash, not even a shadow of her could be seen. She really didn’t have the face to stay here anymore.
”Mrs Li, this tuft of fur, do you still want it? Looks like she doesn’t want it anymore, just right… make this into an ink brush!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the rapidly disappearing Mrs Li, stroking the tuft of fur on the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog as if it was a piece of treasure.
…
Deep into the night, a bird, its body white as snow and its claws sharp as a knife, once again shot out from the Southern Mountain Village’s Hall of Dao and instantly disappeared into the night sky. Its speed was amazingly fast…
The morning after, within the Northern Lands Divine Constabulary, in a beautiful antique-styled study room, Lolita peered at the illustration in front of her, slightly lost in thought.
”This formation isn’t complicated, but it blends in knowledge from the Eight Diagrams Tactics… if it was really drawn by that little bastard, then… the previous case of solving the Illustration of All Creation can now be confirmed!”
Lolita took another look at the illustration. Light flashed within her bright pupils.
”Come!”
”Missus, what do you need?” A soldier instantly walked in from outside the study and knelt down on one knee.
”Make preparations. There’s somewhere I want to go.”
”Yes Missus! But… the Lord is now in the capital city, I fear that there are still ten days before he would be able to return. Should we wait for the Lord before setting off?” The soldier instantly complied with her order, then gingerly asked.
”Ten days? Ok, I understand!” Lolita nodded. Looking out at the rays of light from the rising sun, the edges of her mouth curved into a slight smile.
Fang Zhengzhi? Let me see where else you can run to this time little bastard!
