...
When there is the sound of singing in the mountain, naturally, there will be people following the song.
For example, a scholar riding on a Snow Cloud Stallion, with his white robe billowing in the wind.
The Snow Cloud Stallion was different from Fang Zhengzhi’s Silver Scale Horse. Since it was nad a stallion, it naturally couldn’t compare to an ordinary horse.
And, the Snow Cloud Stallion that the scholar rode was the elite among the Snow Cloud Stallions, and was nad the "Scarlet Fla Snow Cloud"!
Its entire body was white as snow, but, in the middle of its forehead, was a fiery scarlet mark.
The lineage of an ordinary Snow Cloud Stallion was already extrely royal, and contained the blood of draconic beasts. This Scarlet Fla Snow Cloud had descended from the most noble of draconic beasts, the fire dragon’s lineage.
It was said that scarlet flas would appear on its hooves when it galloped wildly.
This was the origin of Scarlet Fla Snow Cloud.
The speed at which the scholar road wasn’t very fast, but, when the source of the song beca nearer, the scholar’s face gradually changed. His initial interest and expression of novelty suddenly turned sowhat strange.
When a figure lying on a piece of fur blanket placed on a huge rock, wearing a blue robe and basking leisurely in the sun appeared in front of him.
The scholar finally stopped.
"Shaless!"
...
Fang Zhengzhi was roasting the at and singing his song. When he suddenly heard an icy, condemning voice scolding him, he instantly didn’t feel very well.
This was obviously bullying?!
Shaless?!
You are clearly the one scolding people without a reason, yet you actually have the face to call shaless?
Can you have a little bit of conscience, at least give a reasonable explanation before you scold?
I didn’t steal, I didn’t rob, and I didn’t smash the window of your house. The curly furred rabbit is raised in my ho, the ingredients are prepared by , even the firewood used for the fire is...
Hmm, that is indeed picked up from the ground, but, this cannot serve as a reason to scold ?
I finally had the chance to read my book properly, sing a song, indulge in my feelings, and roast a curly furred rabbit to cater to my hunger. Who have I offended?
Opening his eyes to take a look, he saw a white-robed scholar riding a tall snow-white horse, gazing at him coldly.
The white-robed scholar riding a white horse, combined with that skin that was white as snow, as the eyes that were as bright as stars. One look at him deduced that he was a pretty boy that caused countless girls to scream.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi believed that he was rather handso, when the saw the white-robed scholar, he still sighed inwardly.
"Appetite and lust are only natural!" Fang Zhengzhi replied with disdain. His mood was rather good today, he finally had the chance to return to the village, hence didn’t wish to subdue a person based on strength just because of an unfriendly word.
This was really too violent.
Hence, after speaking, he continued to flip the lone book in his hand, and didn’t bother paying any further attention to the white-robed scholar.
A trace of surprise flashed across the white-robed scholar’s eyes.
Just as he prepared to speak again, a strong waft of at aroma suddenly filled his nose.
Then, his gaze was absorbed by the curly furred rabbit roasting in front of Fang Zhengzhi, and a bright light instantly flashed across his eyes. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi again, then looked at the roasting rack on which the curly furred rabbit was placed.
The edges of his mouth curled into a faint smile, the scholar had suddenly seed to have thought of sothing.
"Reading?" The white-robed scholar looked at the book that didn’t even contain a single word on its cover.
"Obviously!" Fang Zhengzhi’s tone wasn’t very polite.
"If you don’t mind, we can exchange so views!"
"You also read this before?"
"Naturally." The white-robed scholar nodded, very confidently.
"This liar Zhang Hetong, what happened to the lone book? Sigh... I indeed trust others too easily!" Fang Zhengzhi silently swore, then, pointed at the empty space beside him. "Let’s read together!"
The white-robed scholar looked at the small empty spot that was only half a body wide beside Fang Zhengzhi, hesitated for a mont, but still finally walked over.
Just as he lay down halfway, the gaze of the white-robed scholar was absorbed by an illustration in the book on Fang Zhengzhi’s hand. Then, the white-robed scholar’s bright eyes instantly turned round.
"Woosh!"
The white-robed scholar instantly sprang back up.
"You... shaless, lecher... what, what kind of book are you reading?!" The white-robed scholar’s chest rose and fell urgently, and a trace of red shimred across his face.
This ti, Fang Zhengzhi was truly sowhat angered.
He felt that a person could be shaless, but a person couldn’t be shaless to such an extent?
They were both n, and there were no won here. What are you pretending for? Furthermore, you said that you have also read this before, now, I am sharing it with a good heart, yet, not only did you not appreciate it, you actually opened your mouth and swore at again?
Intolerable!
"Grandson of a turtle!" Towards such a person who he hadn’t even t before, and opening his mouth to hurt him multiple tis, Fang Zhengzhi didn’t hold back at all, and used a Northern Mountain Village dialect to scold him back.
"Grandson of a turtle?!" The white-robed scholar instantly lifted up his hand, but halfway through the motion, he forced it back down. His chest rose furiously for a few tis.
Then, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi very carefully, from the eyebrows, to the eyes, then to the nose, then to every single move Fang Zhengzhi made. He looked very carefully, as if he was judging sothing.
Fang Zhengzhi didn’t feel rather comfortable being looked at by the white-robed scholar.
This guy didn’t read the lone book, instead, he stared at himself...
Could it be that he had so sort of special interest?
Forget it, he is just a passing scholar, all he did was to scold him a bit. That wasn’t enough to turn him into a mountain kind and rob him.
But...
That horse indeed doesn’t look too bad!
"This roasted rabbit... are you selling it?" The white-robed scholar seed to not know Fang Zhengzhi’s thoughts, and opened his mouth to speak again.
"Not selling!" Fang Zhengzhi didn’t even think before rejecting.
"Then what if I exchange for it with sothing?"
"Not exchanging! Wait a minute... what are you using to exchange?"
"How about this Scarlet Fla Snow Cloud of mine?" As the white-robed scholar spoke, he pointed at the Snow Cloud Stallion behind him.
Scarlet Fla Snow Cloud!
In exchange for a roasted rabbit?
Fang Zhengzhi was in sowhat of a disbelief. This was simply getting whatever he wished for? Was there even a better deal than this? His favourite thing in his life was to et with an idiot once he left his house door!
"I need to consider for a mont!" Even though Fang Zhengzhi was excited inside, but, on the surface he looked very calm. He knew that the more he wanted sothing, he calr he had to be.
"Then forget it." The white-robed scholar seed sowhat disappointed, then turned around and left.
"Wait, considering your sincerity, I will exchange with you!" Looking at the white-robed scholar turning around, Fang Zhengzhi finally couldn’t contain himself anymore.
The white-robed scholar stopped, and his mouth curled into a faint smile again.
"But, after our exchange, I won’t have any transport options? What to do then?" The white-robed scholar turned around again, and the smile on his face vanished. A hesitant expression replaced it.
"No problem, I have a Silver Scale Horse at ho, I can sell it to you!" Fang Zhengzhi suggested very generously.
"This... alright!" The white-robed scholar nodded in a very difficult manner.
Seeing that the white-robed scholar had actually agreed, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt sowhat weird. Was this guy really an idiot?
No matter how he looked...
He still didn’t really look like one.
"Then, sit there and wait, I haven’t finished roasting yet!" Fang Zhengzhi pointed at a stone that was further away from him.
The white-robed scholar nodded, then, slowly walked over and sat down gingerly.
Fang Zhengzhi relaxed. At least, the white-robed scholar didn’t have any intention of sneaking an attack on him, else, it would be more appropriate for him to sit closer to him.
He wasn’t taking the opportunity to rob him?
Then, was he really going to use his Scarlet Fla Snow Cloud to exchange for a roasted rabbit of his?
Could prosperity not co so quickly? He really couldn’t accept it.
No, no...
There was definitely a trap waiting for him to jump into.
But, where did the problem lie? He really had the best end of this deal.
Scam him of a roasted rabbit? After eating, then running away?
If this was the case, there would be two possibilities. First, he would beat this guy up badly. Second, he wouldn’t be able to win him, enabling him to run away...
The second was needless to ntion. If the other party really had that power, he could just rob him and he still wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
If it was the first, then, he could at least give him a beating.
"Alright, I’ll risk a curly furred rabbit to make this gamble!" Fang Zhengzhi felt that the most he would lose was a curly furred rabbit. The price to pay was small, hence he could make this gamble.
...
Next, nothing unexpected happened.
As Fang Zhengzhi roasted the curly furred rabbit, the white-robed scholar sat on the stone and stared expectantly at Fang Zhengzhi’s actions, as if he had completely forgotten his previous unhappiness in having seen the lone book.
The white-robed scholar’s eyebrows were very long, and glinted in the sun. It was incredibly beautiful. A faint light flashed in his eyes, just like stars in the sky.
Fang Zhengzhi occasionally glanced at the white-robed scholar, and always felt a surging sensation in his heart.
"Pretty boy!" Fang Zhengzhi swore to himself. He felt that the world was really too unfair to actually be able to produce such a beautiful man.
Following the turning of the roasting rack by Fang Zhengzhi’s hands, the aroma of roasted at began to diffuse into the surroundings.
Finally, Fang Zhengzhi fished out a small wooden box and opened it. It was filled with seasonings of a variety of colours. This was a secret recipe, and wouldn’t be let out easily.
Compared to the seasoning wrapped in a coarse yellow paper eight years ago, the current one evidently seed more advanced.
After sprinkling on the seasonings, the aroma of the roasted at was finally completely emanated.
"Gulp!" The white-robed scholar’s mouth produced the sound of saliva being swallowed.
"I don’t dare to claim anything else, but the quality of this roasted at is the best within ten miles of this place!" Fang Zhengzhi glanced at the white-robed scholar, then, swiftly moving his right hand across the roasted at, a piece of rabbit leg fell into the plate held on his left hand.
"Yes!" The white-robed scholar replied, and hurriedly received the rabbit leg which Fang Zhengzhi passed over. Then, he opened his mouth very slightly and took a bite.
Instantly, a crisp sensation spread across his tongue. The oil and delicious rabbit at were mixed together, causing the white-robed scholar to beco instantly intoxicated.
