When Did I Ever Want to Rob You and Kill You?

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "So you don't want to acknowledge this bet anymore?"

The student from Jiangnan said with a stiff neck:

"Is this a bet? This is bullying from your Dongshan Prefecture! Who could possibly get so much wild game all at once?"

I don't believe you brought this all by yourself.

"You're fabricating this."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"I've never seen such shameless people from Jiangnan, daring to do it but not daring to admit it."

Let's just stay here and wait it out for today!

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Think carefully about how to resolve this matter, and then tell me a solution."

Shen Wanjun had truly never seen such a shameless woman.

He looked at Fang Zhiyuan, "Brother Fang, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Fang Zhiyuan was startled when he was suddenly called out by name:

"Could you please not call me at this time? See those wolves? They're obviously starving, staring at us and drooling."

I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now; I'm afraid I'll get eaten by wolves.

Shen Wanjun almost burst into tears. "What exactly does your Dongshan Prefecture mean? Are you just going to let this child run wild?"

Fang Zhiyuan said helplessly:

"You should understand the principle of accepting the consequences of a bet, right?"

I tried to stop you from gambling, but you wouldn't listen!

"Now that you're coming to me, what can I do?"

Fang Zhiyuan felt he had done his best, but Shen Wanjun was on the verge of tears.

Can't you just say it explicitly?

How could I have known that a little girl could be so terrifying?

How exactly did she manage to make the wild beasts obey her?

Fang Zhiyuan rolled his eyes helplessly and said:

"Then you should go and ask her properly! What do I know?"

Hurry up, I'm afraid these wild beasts will eat me.

Liu Quan said angrily:

"I don't believe this little girl can be that ruthless. Let's just leave."

I want to see what she can do, especially since we have many guards and secret agents."

Liu Quan stood up, and many people followed him, trying to rush out.

Liu Quan said loudly:

"Where are my guards? Where are my secret agents? Come out now!"

Kill all those beasts!

The guards and secret agents had their mouths covered by a group of trees.

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "These people are all heinous criminals, their aura of violence is too strong. You can take them down and eat them!"

The trees that followed it were overjoyed and practically hopped and skipped, dragging the people down with them.

Liu Quan roared, "Where are they? If you don't come out soon, I'll tell my father, and he'll kill you all!"

But his voice had gone hoarse from calling out, and nobody paid any attention to him.

Zheng Xing'an didn't care about any of that; all she cared about was whether her mistress was eating well.

Before long, a rich aroma wafted from the fire.

Three beggar's chickens were wrapped in yellow mud and buried in the fire to roast until fragrant.

Brush the rabbit with seasoning and roast it until the skin is crispy.

We selected another small wild boar and stewed a pot of rich and flavorful wild boar soup.

The remaining wild deer and antelope were cut into pieces, roasted over a fire, sprinkled with spices, and roasted until they sizzled and dripped with oil.

Zheng Xing'an ladled out a bowl of wild boar soup and said, "Miss, please try this pot of wild boar soup and see if you like it."

Zhou Wanwan took a bite and said:

"This wild boar soup is so delicious, I almost swallowed my tongue."

The meat is tender yet firm, the broth is rich but not greasy, and with the added fragrance of wild mushrooms, there's absolutely no fishy smell—it's simply delicious!

The students from Dongshan Prefecture, their mouths greasy and eyes shining, exclaimed, "Absolutely! This cooking is absolutely amazing! I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life!"

"These roasted lamb chops are absolutely amazing! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, oily but not greasy at all, they smell so good I almost wanted to chew the bones up and swallow them!"

Zhou Qinghe, holding half a piece of beggar's chicken, mumbled indistinctly:

"You guys have to try this beggar's chicken! How can it be so tender?"

It was so tender it melted in my mouth, and so juicy! I've never had such delicious chicken in my life!

Fang Zhiyuan nodded and said:

"And this venison... it's so delicious!"

It's chewy yet not dry, and incredibly flavorful. Paired with these seasonings, it's simply divine!

The students from Jiangnan Prefecture standing nearby glared at each other, their faces turning pale and then red, completely frozen in place.

Shen Wanjun was starving and had originally planned to return to the city early for a peaceful dinner.

Now it seems that, let alone having dinner, even leaving safely is uncertain.

He stared intently at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"What exactly do you want? What's the point of trapping us here?"

As darkness falls, more and more wild animals will roam the mountains, and we'll all be in trouble!

Zhou Wanwan nodded slightly, her face serious. "Yes, you finally got one thing right."

Shen Wanjun froze, then looked around abruptly.

When I saw it, I was terrified.

Before anyone knew it, the area within a fifty-meter radius was filled with wild beasts.

A hundred paces further out, the area became even darker, filled with countless beast shadows.

The tiger lay on the low rock, letting out one deep roar after another.

The wolves sat in a row, their eerie green eyes shining frighteningly, occasionally raising their heads and letting out a long howl.

The leopard lurked in the shadows of the trees, its cold gaze fixed on them, its breath so light it sent chills down their spines.

All the wild beasts sat quietly in a An'an, neither attacking nor approaching, but simply staring intently at the group of people.

Shen Wanjun was genuinely terrified and cried out, "Zhou Wanwan, do you really intend to murder me for money?"

Zhou Wanwan glanced at him and said:

Can you please stop talking nonsense?

When did I ever intend to rob you or kill you?

It's not like I'm the bad guy. You proposed this bet yourself, you signed your name, and you drew the pledge yourself.

Just because I'm young doesn't mean you can bully me.

Shen Wanjun was truly exasperated. "I bullied you? Fine, fine, I bullied you, so what do you want? Just tell me!"

Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

"It depends on whether you want to resolve this matter or not. Anyway, I'm taking the 108.4 million taels today."

See how much you can raise today, let's start with the interest.

Then give me an IOU.

Shen Wanjun's tears really flowed down:

"Over one hundred million taels? You're trying to kill me!"

When will I ever be able to repay this debt in my lifetime?

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said:

"If you want to gamble, then you should have the spirit of a bet, right? You can't just renege on your bet because you can't afford to gamble."

I believe none of you students from Jiangnan are like that!

Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, you can think about it again.

I'll give you another incense stick's time. If you still can't figure it out, then you can spend the night here.

We need to go back to sleep; I'm really sleepy.

After Zhou Wanwan finished speaking, she ignored them.

She ran into the nearby woods and fell asleep right there in the treehouse.

When the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was up, Zhou Wanwan finally woke up. The wild beasts were only a few steps away from them, almost touching their faces.

The students from Jiangnan were truly panicked. "Shen Wanjun, what should we do now?"
