C91 Why Did We Have To Run Away?

Zhan Tianming’s mouth was agape. He was not only stunned, you could say he was completely shocked.

Soon after, his mind was abuzz with hundreds of thousands of thoughts. As his head overflowed with these thoughts, only one conclusion had any real plausibility.

It was this: the treasure was flawed. There was definitely something wrong with it!

This was definitely going to be a problem!

And this was because...

Zhang Bao’s strength was at the level of a One-Star Martial Spirit!

How could such a moron raise his status to a One-Star Martial Spirit? This was impossible!

Moreover, he had hid it in such a way that others would never be able to discover his cultivation.

Was this something a fool could be capable of?

His thoughts continued on in this manner...

Zhan Tianming thought long and hard for a moment, coming up with another possibility. He turned to Feng Wushuang who was smiling at Zhang Bao, and then asked, “Was he always like this, or was the change gradual?”

“Uh… He wasn't always like this. This only started when he was 12 years old.” Feng Wushuang seemed to be busting his cranium trying to recall.

“Twelve years old? But that’s so young.”

Hearing such an answer, Zhan Tianming was even more sure of his guess.

Even a twelve-year-old genius would not be able to raise his cultivation to the heights of a One-Star Martial Spirit, right?

There was no way around it: Zhang Bao’s cultivation had only started its process.

'Such an idiot knows how to cultivate?'

'Then a sow must have the ability to climb trees. His skills must be expansive.'

Zhan Tianming simply did not have it in him to believe Zhang Bao’s words. There was no way Zhang Bao could’ve obtained his cultivation skills before he turned twelve. Zhang Bao was playing dumb. For some reason or another, he was avoiding the truth.

'To be able to hide his incredible talent while pretending to be stupid is definitely not a simple task.'

Giving this some careful thought, Zhan Tianming then walked over with a smile on his face.

Struck by curiosity of what Zhan Tianming was trying to attempt, Feng Wushuang followed closely behind him.

Zhan Tianming arrived in front of Zhang Bao, whose hands and face were dirty from playing in the mud. Zhan Tianming squatted down next to him. Upon seeing Zhan Tianming's hunched form so close to him, Zhang Bao suddenly used his muddy hand to swipe at Zhan Tianming’s face.

“Hehe…” Zhang Bao giggled childishly.

“Haha….”

Feng Wushuang, who was quietly looking on the side the entire time, fell back laughing, even pointing her finger at Zhan Tianming who was still squatting on the ground in a complete daze.

“Haha… So funny! My stomach hurts from laughing so hard…”

All of a sudden, Feng Wushuang’s laughter came to a halt.

Zhang Bao, who was filled with giggles earlier, suddenly stood up from his position on the ground. The hand that had just smeared Zhan Tianming’s face with mud, quickly marked Feng Wushuang’s face while she was still laughing merrily.

Now with a face full of mud of her own, Feng Wushuang no longer found the mud flinging so funny.

“Hehe…”

Zhang Bao’s giggles continued to fill the air around them.

In that instant, Feng Wushuang’s face darkened noticeably, but in the next second, her smile returned to her face, as if it had never left in the first place.

Then, like a gentle sister, she made her way towards Zhang Bao.

“Be a good boy, Zhang Bao. Sister will play with you now, okay?”

“Sure! Big sister will play with me. This makes me so happy. Big sister is my favorite…”

In a flash, Feng Wushuang had grabbed Zhang Bao’s hands and fiercely pressed them to his own cheek.

After this, Zhang Bao’s excited voice quieted.

“Haha…”

Feng Wushuang was laughing loudly, but Zhang Bao next to her started to wail incessantly.

“Woo woo…”

As tears ran down his cheeks, he used his muddy paws to wipe away his tears. The streaks of mud on his face created quite a messy scene.

Zhan Tianming who was not left untouched by the mud himself stood up. He stared down at Zhang Bao, who was still sitting in the mud crying mournfully, almost having second thoughts about Zhang Bao’s cleverness. Zhang Bao’s performance was so impeccable, his chances of winning an Oscar was 100%.

“Damn, do you think he’s overdoing it?”

Zhan Tianming had originally wanted to go up to and take care of Zhang Bao himself, but right at this moment, Feng Wushuang grabbed ahold of his hand and dragged him away.

“Hey, hey, hey… Beauty, what is it you think you’re doing?”

“Stop with the questions. Let’s run away first.”

Without any further explanation, Feng Wushuang dragged Zhan Tianming out of that area and all the way back to their house.

Zhan Tianming was left at a loss for words.

Darn it! The palm print on his face would be for nothing. Just as he was about to settle the score, he had been pulled away by Feng Wushuang.

Zhan Tianming really wanted to exclaim loudly so everyone around them would hear: Feng Wushuang, this was done on purpose, right?

'Forget it, this will have to wait.'

The two of them found a place to wash off the mud on their faces and then Zhan Tianming took the opportunity to ask, “Beauty, are you ready to answer some questions now?”

“What did you just say?” Feng Wushuang said.

“I…” Zhan Tianming was rendered speechless and almost cried out from exasperation.

How can someone be so forgetful? Could this woman be all chest and no brains?

This couldn’t be right!

In his previous life, he had seen women who were both well endowed and had a good head on their shoulders.

How could things be like this here?

“What is it that you want me to say?” Feng Wushuang asked again.

“Forget about it. I’ll just get myself a piece of tofu and kill myself with it.” Zhan Tianming was impatient to end the conversation right then.

“Tsk, you’re talking nonsense. A person can’t beat something to death with a piece of tofu. If you want results, you have to hit them with a wall or something solid like that.” As Feng Wushuang said this, she could not help but roll her eyes.

“I…” Her remark had left Zhan Tianming too dumbstruck to properly formulate a response.

'Is Feng Wushuang pretending to act dumb? There was no need to bully people with this fake act. Such things could never fool him.'

“I… I can find any piece of tofu and crush my enemy to death with it.”

Zhan Tianming looked a bit lost then.

“Alright, alright, don’t look at me like that anymore. I’ll have someone bring over a cart of tofu for you later and let you do whatever you want with it.” Feng Wushuang patted Zhan Tianming’s arm. Her eyes sparkled as if they were saying, “I’m taking good care of you, right?”

Zhan Tianming glared daggers at her.

'What the hell! You actually call this taking care of me?'

After hanging around with Feng Wushuang for a while, Zhan Tianming started to say, “Forget it, beautiful woman. I’ll have to ask you now, oh beautiful and generous one, earlier, why did we rush to run away?”

“What did you just say?” Feng Wushuang said.

“I said, what was the hurry? Why did we run away just now?” Zhan Tianming repeated in an exasperated manner.

“It’s not about that. It’s your last sentence,” Feng Wushuang said.

“I’ve come to formally seek advice from you, oh beautiful and generous one.” Zhan Tianming had some difficulty with this sentence as he said this with a bitter face.

“Right, right. That’s the line I’m talking about.” Feng Wushuang’s face unveiled a happy expression on it, then she patted Zhan Tianming’s shoulders and said, “Not so bad if I do say so myself. Looks like you’re onto something, making such great points.”

“Great points? What do you mean by great points?” Zhan Tianming could not help but express his astonishment.

“Such honesty,” Feng Wushuang could barely hold in her laughter.

Hearing that, Zhan Tianming was so shocked, he nearly vomited out blood and lost his life right there.

Was this Feng Wushuang really the Princess? He studied the woman before him. She had zero resemblance to those TV personae.

Oh my god!

The Princess he met was so strange.

If lightning were to strike him right then, he couldn’t have been more surprised.

Feng Wushuang took some liberties to add, “In this world, there are few who are as honest and trustworthy as you. This type of quality must be properly developed so that it does not disappear. I think you should accompany me from now on and cultivate your honesty every day. All you really need to do is follow me around and praise me for my virtues every passing day.”

“Damn! You can go ahead and die!” Zhan Tianming said with a deep look of hatred in his eyes.

Feng Wushuang’s smile only brightened. She felt very fortunate to have met Zhan Tianming in this way.

While still smiling, she said, “Forget about it, I’ll stop teasing you now. Let’s get right down to business.”
