Rong Jin, the eldest daughter of the Rong family, said from the side, "Where did this little brat come from? What does she know about beast fighting? It's laughable."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "What's so difficult about beast fighting? Isn't it just about betting on which one wins and getting paid?"

The young masters around him burst into laughter, Rong Jin scoffed and said, "You'd better have money first! This is a game of tiger and wolf, which one do you want to bet on?"

Zhou Wanwan glanced around and realized that tigers were naturally much more powerful than wolves, so everyone present bet on the tiger.

Zhou Wanwan leaned closer for a look, and everyone around her laughed, "That tiger is amazing, it's already won six games. This wolf is no good, look at it, it's so weak."

Zhou Wanwan leaned closer for a look, and realized that this wolf was one she recognized.

The wolf came closer and said, "Master, it's me! It's Little Grey!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the wolf and said, "Little Grey? Emma, what are you doing here?"

Little Grey was her pet wolf, which had run away before, but she never expected to run into it here.

Little Grey looked at her pitifully and said, "Master, save me! That tiger is so strong, I can't beat it."

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "Fine! I wonder which mountain this tiger comes from."

The tiger glared coldly at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You little brat, get out of my way! Mind your own business, or I'll eat you too."

Zhou Wanwan gritted her teeth and said, "Are all tigers this arrogant now? Do I look that weak and easy to bully?"

The tiger snorted and said, "I'll show you something in a minute: tearing a puppy apart, hahaha!"

The fourth young master, who was standing not far away, said, "That tiger is really fierce! I really like it. Once it wins, I'll take it home."

The fourth young master looked at the people around him and said, "Place your bet, bet on the tiger."

People around immediately chimed in, "Then let's bet on the tiger too!"

In this arena, many people would place bets based on the Fourth Young Master's judgment, because they believed that the Fourth Young Master had an exceptionally accurate eye for these ferocious beasts.

These confidants of the Fourth Young Master all knew that he could communicate with these ferocious beasts.

The fourth young master walked up to the tiger, and the tiger actually knelt down.

The fourth young master smiled faintly and said, "If you win, come with me."

Rong Jin looked at Zhou Wanwan beside him and said, "You little brat, this isn't a place for you. A kid like you probably doesn't have any money, right?"

The ladies nearby chuckled, "I wonder where this child came from. He looks only five or six years old, and he's actually come to the arena."

"Of course! Who would bring such a young child to a place like this?"

"She's probably from a poor family, and the Fourth Young Master saved her, right? She's so lucky; ordinary people can't even become the Fourth Young Master's servant!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "How about I give you my position? Who wants to be the Fourth Young Master's servant? You can come if you want!"

Rong Jin snorted coldly and said, "How dare you! The Fourth Young Master is doing you a favor by making you a maid; it's your good fortune."

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, this is your good fortune. You can stay here and serve tea and water to the Fourth Young Master!"

The fourth young master looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Would it be a disservice for you to be my maid?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "It is indeed quite unfair. Why would I give up being a proper city lord to become your maid?"

Rong Jin chuckled and said, "City lord? You're so young, what city lord could you possibly be? Don't make me laugh!"

Zhou Wanwan scoffed and said, "Don't believe me if you don't want to. Anyway, I was the city lord before. Since you're all betting on the tiger, I'll bet on the wolf!"

Little Grey is so pitiful; I wonder how much suffering he's endured outside.

Didn't Zhou Wanwan used to own a zoo?

When she wasn't in the mountains, the animals were left to roam freely. Some of them came out looking for her and were captured.

The girls laughed uncontrollably, "Where did this fool come from? Of all the bets, why did he have to bet on the wolf? It looks so weak and dying, it's about to die, okay?"

"I wonder if she can come up with one or two taels of silver."

Rong Jin laughed and said, "I'm afraid you can't even come up with a single tael of silver, can you?"

The crowd burst into laughter, Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "What's so funny? You can produce as much silver as I can produce."

Rong Jin scoffed coldly, "Little girl, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The fourth young master looked at Zhou Wanwan and snorted coldly:

"You're such a braggart, girl. Stop making such unrealistic boasts around me."

Look at the people around me, these are no ordinary people.

Could someone who can get along with the Fourth Young Master be an ordinary person?

Rong Jin said, "We are all wealthy and powerful people, not like you, a little girl. You should save your breath!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the ten thousand taels Rong Jin had offered and said:

"Pfft... I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it. Your wealth and status really amazed me."

Are we particularly poor in our border region? Are you all extremely poor?

"If you were in Beijing, throwing around 10,000 yuan like that would make you a laughingstock."

Rong Jin's expression changed and he said:

"So you came from the capital. No wonder you're so brazen."

But what's so great about coming from the capital? The richest people are all at the border.

Like my father, who was in the fur business, do you know how much money he could make in a year?

Zhou Wanwan shook her head. "I don't know, how much money can I make?"

Rong Jin said smugly, "200,000 taels, did that scare you?"

Zhou Wanwan patted her chest and said, "That really scared me. Do all the wealthy merchants on the border only earn 200,000 taels a year?"

Rong Jin shouted:

"This is just one of his businesses. My father also deals in horses and tea. In a year, he must have made at least several million taels of silver!"

"You country bumpkin, you've probably never seen so much money before, have you?"

The young ladies nearby laughed, "Miss Rong, you'd better not frighten her; she's still just a child!"

"You really think just anyone can come up with ten thousand taels? If you're so capable, why don't you take it out and place a bet?"

Zhou Wanwan directly pulled out ten thousand taels and said, "Hmm, I'll place a bet. It's just ten thousand taels, what's the big deal?"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the silver notes in her hand.

Zhou Wanwan thought these people were really ignorant.

Even last time, wealthy merchants from Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Guangdong...

"You didn't just throw away 10,000 taels right away, did you?"

A young gentleman chimed in, "Miss Rong was just playing around. Since you think you're so capable, I'll challenge you to a duel."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the young man and said, "Hmm, are you sure? What's the maximum you can offer?"

The young master said, "I'll offer 100,000 taels; if you're so capable, you offer 100,000 taels too!"

He pulled out 100,000 taels of silver notes, and the young ladies around him exclaimed, "Zhou Yi is so rich! No wonder he's the son of the richest man on the border of the Great Qi; he's so generous!"
