Vol V Chapter 37
When Cao Dawei heard the name 'Fang Ying', he could not help but recall which top forces had Fang as their surname. He frowned and could not think of anything.
Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind like lightning, smashing heavily into his heart. Then, he could not help but tremble.
"Fang Clan, right! It must be the Fang family of Feng Province that had become brothers-in-law with Duke Xiaoyao's estate!”
It must be!
Cao Dawei's lips trembled. He was so shocked that he could not speak. When he thought of how he had dared to provoke the Fang family, his heart skipped a beat. His heart palpitated at his boldness!
It was really like a rat eating arsenic-it did not want to live anymore!
This was a martial arts aristocratic family that even the Prefecture Overseer behind him could not afford to offend…
Fortunately, there was still a chance to save him.
How could Cao Dawei not understand the hidden meaning behind the First Phoenix's name? If he still couldn't turn the tables and pretended to be confused, unwilling to part with the treasure in the other box, this matter might not end well.
"Young Master, it is fate that we met…"
Cao Dawei gritted his teeth and turned around to move another box to the front of the First Phoenix. He opened it with a trembling hand and said,""This box is also part of my collection. I, Cao Dawei, don't have anything to say.”
Cao Dawei's heart ached so much that it was about to bleed. He gritted his teeth and said,"I hope Young Master doesn't mind. Please accept it!”
"Aiyaya! What is Brother Cao doing?"
The First Phoenix looked at the crimson red blood coral, the translucent Vitality Grass, and even a small piece of wrinkled Phoenix Parasol Wood that seemed to be about to rot in the box. Her mouth was almost crooked from laughing.
However, he still pretended to be dissatisfied." You and I are brothers who hit it off at first sight. This is the first time we've met. As a younger brother, I should have given you some gifts. How can I let you spend money on me?" You're treating me like an outsider!"
Cao Dawei's body trembled as he looked at the First Phoenix who had been staring at the box without even looking up. His eyelids twitched.
Pretending to be unhappy, he said," What are you saying, Young Master Fang? We are brothers, so why must we differentiate between us so clearly? If Young Master Fang doesn't accept it, I'll be angry!" Could it be…Young Master Fang is looking down on me?”
He looked down on her! Please don't look down on me…
Cao Dawei shouted loudly in his heart, praying that this guy whose skin was thicker than a brick wall would say something that looked down on him.
He didn't want to be looked up to by him at all. The price was too f * cking high.
Moreover, although the two of them seemed to have hit it off at first sight and their relationship was a mess, one of them was on the verge of falling out if she didn't give it away, and the other was determined not to…
However, he knew very well in his heart that this fellow who was smiling like a little fox might completely forget about him the moment he turned around.
Moreover, this kind of intangible relationship that was even more unbearable than the lotus root silk was really something that he had spent a lot of money and shamelessly stuck to.
He…he had offered himself to her several times, but she didn't want him at all.
At least on the surface, that was what it looked like…
At the thought of this, Cao Dawei couldn't help but reminisce about the carefree days when he was running amok.
Those were truly the most glorious years of his life. It was so romantic, so enjoyable…He was about to cry.
Looking at the two chests that had accompanied him for so many years, Cao Dawei's heart ached more and more. Endless grief and indignation surged into his heart…his heart ached.
These were treasures that he had collected for many years. He had never been willing to use them. He was still hoping to rely on these things to break through to a higher realm.
But now, it seemed that with this little guy's shamelessness, he was definitely screwed!
"Aiya, Brother Cao, you're too polite. How can I accept it?”
The First Phoenix sighed, looking extremely conflicted.
However, Cao Dawei's eyes couldn't help but light up. A trace of joy, excitement, nervousness, excitement, and relief flashed through his heart…
He thought that this guy had found his conscience. Who would have thought that the next words of the First Phoenix would make him almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"However, since Big Brother Cao insists on giving it to me, for the sake of our friendship and taking care of your face, I will accept it reluctantly! Sigh, Brother Cao, don't worry. I definitely don't mean to look down on you!”
The First Phoenix looked troubled. Then, she patted Cao Dawei's shoulder earnestly to comfort him!
Cao Dawei's body swayed, and his vision went black. He almost fainted. After a long time, he came back to his senses. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his smile was forced. His face turned green."That's right, that's right…"
The First Phoenix waved her hand, and two guards took a few steps forward and happily moved the boxes over. They smiled and stood quietly at the side.
The way he looked at Cao Dawei was filled with joy and pride, and there was also a hint of pity.
Cao Dawei looked at the box with a pained expression. He was quite reluctant to part with it. In the end, he turned his head away. Out of sight, out of heart…There was no way he could be annoyed!
"Ahem…"
The First Phoenix cleared her throat and walked to Cao Dawei with a reluctant expression.""Brother Cao, I still have something to do, so I won't disturb you anymore. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely have a few drinks with Brother Cao.”
"Don't forget about me!" The First Phoenix did not forget to remind him.
"No, no!" Cao Dawei wanted him to scram and never meet this guy again, but he still snorted,"Young Master Fang, take care. I won't keep you any longer.”
"Alright, why don't you take advantage of the current situation?”
"What? No, no, no! Brother, you're a busy man, so I won't delay your important matters. Next time, next time when I'm free, I'll definitely…"
"I see. Alright then." The First Phoenix nodded and hesitated for a moment before saying,""Actually…I'm fine."
Cao Dawei was speechless.
The First Phoenix mounted her horse, cupped her fists, and left in a grand manner.
"Gone?" Cao Dawei muttered softly, his expression absent-minded.
"Let's go!"
Cao Dawei's eyes lit up when he heard the affirmative answer beside him. He didn't know if he should feel lucky or have a headache.
He stood there in a daze for a long time before letting out a sigh. He turned around and walked away with heavy steps.
……
"Hahaha! Young Master, I've broadened my horizons today. In front of you, that kid doesn't even dare to fart. It's f * cking satisfying, satisfying!”
Wang Deye rode side by side with the First Phoenix. The corners of his mouth were so wide that they almost reached his ears." Young Master, you don't know this. Before you came, that old fellow acted like a master. He said a lot of good and bad things, but he refused to let them pass…If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't beat him, I really wanted to teach him a lesson.”
The First Phoenix smiled and nodded.""Yes, this guy is obviously a bully. He won't cry until he sees the coffin. Next time you encounter such a thing, just slap him…If anything happens, I'll cover for you!”
"Hehe, alright! With Young Master's words, there won't be a next time. If he dares to find trouble, I'll chop him to death…I definitely won't embarrass Young Master again!”Wang Deye grinned. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
……
The next day, the sky was clear and the warm sunlight shone down, making it comfortable and gentle.
"Brother Wang, how much longer do we have to advance?”The First Phoenix was lying lazily on the rocking chair, her expression lazy." I really want to land quickly. Although this ship is light and fast, it's not as comfortable and steady as a horse.
"Young Master, we are now going northeast with the current. In another day, we can abandon the ship and mount our horses.”
Wang Deye sat upright in his chair and looked up at the wide river surface, which was flowing faster than before. He chuckled and said,"Isn't this just borrowing the geographical advantage? If we go further north, we won't even have such good conditions to take a boat.”
The First Phoenix sat up with the help of the rocking chair's handle. She took a cup of herbal tea to moisten her throat. Feeling the cool breeze on her face, she exhaled heavily.
When he was on Liberty Island, he often dealt with ships, and his monthly training included fighting on the water.
He was a northerner and came from the marquis 'manor, which had many rules. He had not had many opportunities to come into contact with water since he was young. He could not compare to his companions who grew up in the water. Therefore, when he first went to Liberty Island, he was often bullied and taken advantage of during his water training. Naturally, his homework was not satisfactory.
Fortunately, he was willing to endure hardship. After falling down in a boundary, he struggled to get up. After falling down, he continued.
When he became familiar with the water and rose steadily, he had more opportunities to deal with all kinds of ships. However, after working hard on the ship for so many years, he was still not used to the feeling of drifting under his feet. He felt that it was not as steady and heavy as on the shore.
He didn't like it!
But so what if he didn't like it? He had already received so many years of training. He would never forget it for the rest of his life. This was a painful feeling that would forever be imprinted in the depths of his memory! The First Phoenix shook her head gently and stopped thinking about these trivial matters.
"Right, Big Brother Wang, you should be about to break through to the Fifth Stage Realm, right?”The First Phoenix thought of the herbs she had extorted yesterday and said,""Take a look at the medicinal herbs that the old fellow sent over yesterday. I'll protect you while we have time.”
"Hmm? Yes, Young Master. I've been stuck at the Sixth Stage Realm for several years, but I haven't found any medicinal herbs that can nourish Qi and blood. Otherwise, I might break through at any time. However, this is your thing, Young Master. How can I casually use it?”
When Wang Deye heard the First Phoenix's words, he was touched.
He had also seen these herbs yesterday. At that time, he was still shocked by the collection of the third gang leader.
As the highest manager of the Fang Clan's entire county, he only had a dozen stalks of Blood Machine Grass in total, including the ones he spent on his daily cultivation. This was not enough for him to break through to the Fifth Stage Realm.
"So what? No matter how valuable the item is, it still needs someone to use it, right? Otherwise, it would just be a pile of garbage that could not be eaten or worn. Not only would it take up space, but it would also have to worry about not being stolen!”
The First Phoenix waved her hand and laughed,""If I tell you to go, then go. Why is a big and burly man dawdling like a woman? People who don't know better might think that I'm forcing you to jump into the river!”
Wang Deye nodded fiercely and turned to leave. His eyes were slightly red.
It wasn't that he didn't know how valuable these seemingly unremarkable herbs were. If he really thought about it carefully, the value would definitely exceed tens of thousands of gold!
After all, the blood grass was useful to martial artists of any realm. However, this young man who had only known him for less than ten days had given it to him without blinking. What else could he say?
This favor was already heavy enough for him!
