Men Really Couldn't Resist a Challenge

Zhou Wanwan didn't expect Fang Zhiyuan to come, and Cheng Chao was following behind him.

Cheng Chao greeted Zhou Wanwan:

"Miss, I rushed over as soon as I heard you were here."

I also brought you your favorite snacks.

Cheng Chao was quite thoughtful; he looked at Zheng Xing'an beside him and said, "Xing'an, I also brought you a portion, it's still hot."

Zheng Xing'an took the pastries and said, "That's thoughtful of you."

Cheng Chao looked at Zheng Xing'an sweetly.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Fang Zhiyuan, "Brother Zhiyuan, is this sister from your Fang Family? She's so fierce! She said she's going to beat me up."

Fang Zhiyuan looked at Fang Ting and said:

"Fang Ting, why are you always causing trouble? Do you think you can mess with Zhou Wanwan?"

I'm telling you, if you dare to bully Zhou Wanwan, I will never let you get away with it.

Fang Ting shuddered in fright. Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow, thinking, "As expected, the wicked will always be punished by the wicked."

Unexpectedly, Fang Ting was afraid of Fang Zhiyuan, but upon reflection, it made sense, as Fang Ting was an illegitimate daughter of the Fang Family.

Fang Zhiyuan, after all, the prefect's own son, and supposedly even the legitimate son, so his status was naturally different.

Old Madam Zhou smiled kindly, "This is Prefect Fang's son! Please sit down, please sit down. Has the young master eaten?"

Fang Zhiyuan shook his head, and Old Madam Zhou quickly said, "I'll have someone set the table right now."

The food was served quickly, a table full of green vegetables.

Old Madam Zhou's face turned green:

"Are you trying to fool me in the kitchen? How are we supposed to eat this?"

Bok choy, spinach, chives, shepherd's purse, bracken fern, cilantro, celery...

How are the guests supposed to eat this?

The steward quickly said, "There's nothing we can do! Everything in the house that contains meat has disappeared without a trace. Now all that's left are some vegetables..."

Fang Zhiyuan looked at the table full of dishes, shook his head, and said:

"Forget it, Brother Gu. Are you living such a hard life here? Why don't you come back with me?"

Our Fang Family has all kinds of food; we can eat and live together.

"You can also go out and travel, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Zhou Wanwan shuddered. Did people in ancient times also have homosexual tendencies?

Could Fang Zhiyuan have taken a liking to Gu Sinian?

Gu Sinian waved his hand and said:

"I'm doing quite well here. There's no meat for lunch, so let's go to the mountains!"

It's a good opportunity to go for a stroll in the mountains.

Fang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "That's fine, let's go up the mountain for a stroll then."

Zhou Wanwan followed behind them; she also wanted to go up the mountain for some fun.

After all, there are many treasures on the mountain.

Old Madam Zhou looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "What are you doing going out with a group of boys? You shouldn't go."

Cheng Chao followed closely behind Zhou Wanwan, saying, "With me by your side, everything will be alright."

Old Madam Zhou immediately said with a kind smile, "Alright, alright, then go and come back soon. Be careful on the road; there may be wolves and tigers in the mountains, so please be safe."

Cheng Chao ignored the old woman and muttered to himself as he walked away:

"This is one of my father's top strategists, who is said to be able to tell fortunes."

I think she's incompetent; she just talks nonsense all day long.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Some things might not be false, for example, there might be a year of famine, so let's make some preparations!"

Cheng Chao cautiously approached Zhou Wanwan and asked, "A year of famine? Will there really be a year of famine?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Do you trust me? If you do, then go and prepare! After all, you're going to marry Xing'an, so you're practically mine now."

Cheng Chao's eyes lit up and he said, "I understand. I'll start preparing tonight."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Cheng Chao and said:

"Prepare more, just in case there's a real disaster year in the future. Your bastard father is definitely unreliable."

"The fortune teller has said so much, he must have some food stored up, right?"

Cheng Chao waved his hand and said, "Him? I don't even care to talk about him. He's getting really close to that eunuch in the capital, I wonder what he's up to."

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:

"Your father is... well, let's just say he's a complicated person. And your mother? She's even more of a complicated person, a complete freak."

Actually, I was reluctant to marry Xing'an to you, but Xing'an seems to have some feelings for you.

But you better remember this: if you treat her badly, I'll take her back.

Anyway, I can afford to raise them in my mountain stronghold.

Cheng Chao nodded and said, "Of course I know that. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."

Zhou Wanwan didn't say anything more; they had already arrived at the mountain.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the mountain and a smile appeared on her face.

There really is treasure on this mountain!

Fang Zhiyuan kept talking to Gu Sinian.

Gu Sinian looked at Zhou Wanwan with a hint of irritation and a somewhat aggrieved expression.

Zhou Wanwan shrugged, indicating that she couldn't help; Fang Zhiyuan had simply said too much.

"I wonder if we can hunt any game on this mountain?"

"Gu Sinian, your archery skills are so good, you should be able to hit your prey, right?"

A few of Fang Zhiyuan's classmates nearby couldn't help but mock him, "Fang Zhiyuan, you're going too far with your praise. He's just the top student; I was the top student last year!"

"I thought he was some outstanding person, but I didn't expect him to live in this poor, remote place. He's not even in our social class."

"Fang Zhiyuan, why do you like hanging out with people like this? Taking us up the mountain was so boring."

"You bet! I thought today would be so much fun! It would have been better to just go hunting at the mountain resort! We haven't seen a single game yet."

Zhou Wanwan said softly, "Weakling, why are you blaming the lack of wild game instead of your poor skills?"

Men really can't be provoked.

Fang Zhiyuan's classmates weren't exactly bright either. The leader of the group sneered, "What makes you call us weaklings? We didn't catch any, but did you?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Whether I can hunt or not is none of your business."

The man sneered:

"If you can catch a pheasant, I'll give you ten taels of silver."

If you can hunt a wild boar, I'll give you one hundred taels of silver.

If you can kill a bear, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver.

If you hunt other wild game, I'll give you silver too. Can you hunt them?

Zhou Wanwan glanced at him indifferently and said, "I went through all the trouble of hunting a bear, and you only give me a thousand taels of silver? Who would be willing to do that?"

The man searched the mountain for a while but didn't find a single wild animal.

He snorted coldly and said:

"Fine! Anyway, I have plenty of money. My family owns hundreds of rice shops, hundreds of restaurants, and hundreds of cloth shops."

If you can catch a pheasant, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver.

A wild boar, I'll give you a thousand taels.

"A black bear, I'll give you ten thousand taels."

Zhou Wanwan propped her head up and looked at him, saying:

I don't know you well, and I don't know if you have any money.

How about we write a contract? And do we get any money if we hunt any other wild game?
