Novel Full With a cold look, Cheng Xiao Xiao walked over to the cage. Stroking the snakies, she regarded the three regret-filled faces and said to them, “I have never offended you. You thought I was a push over, so you could do whatever you want, right?”
“…….” The three just kept shaking their heads. Before the fear was more fear in their eyes!
They knew, no matter how strong you are, if you were placed in front of a beast tamer, your only option was to run. Nobody has yet has the ability to stand up to a beast tamer!
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I will release you when your master come. Just stay in there like good little boys now!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao snickered. She didn’t feel bad for the three. They should be happy she didn’t feed them to the snakes.
Just when she was about to turn around and leave, Cheng Xiao Xiao noticed that Deacon Bai knelt down and kowtowed to her. He opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something to her.
She only came because she was bored. Now seeing that he had something to say, she squinted and told Yuteng to let him talk.
Sure enough, the next second Deacon Bai was able to say, “Miss Cheng, we know we are wrong. Let’s talk this over!”
“Oh, talk it over. How are you suggesting we do that?” Cheng Xiao Xiao really stressed on the “talk it over” part and casted a look at Deacon Lin at the same time.
Certainly Deacon Lin understood what she meant. They started out talking over about a deal. The proud Deacon Lin didn’t think there was a need to discuss, and just decided to threaten them instead.
That being brought up now, even the expressionless Deacon Lin blushed and couldn’t look her in her eyes.
Now, thinking about her status, Deacon Lin wiped away the last shred of his pride and went to kneel down next to Deacon Bai. He lowered his head and didn’t express any discontent.
As for the last one, after see the two deacons on their knees, also joined them. The three of them knelt in the cage begging for forgiveness.
“Miss Cheng, please forgive us this one time. We sincerely want to work with you. You list out your requirements, we will report back to our master. And we can come to an agreement between us. What do you say to that?” Deacon Bai looked at her longingly.
Cheng Xiao Xiao studied their response carefully. She knew they were telling the truth. Giving it a quick thought, she said, “I can let you go. Just know that next time you dare come to cause trouble again and I caught you, you won’t just be imprisoned. You will be fed to my snakies directly, okay?”
“Of course. We will never target the Cheng’s again. Please be assured of that!” Deacon Bai tried not to let his happiness show too much and agreed immediately.
Laughing coldly, Cheng Xiao Xiao stared at them, “I hope you can keep your words. Just remember, I meant what I said. Think twice before you act if you don’t want to turn into snake food!”
“Miss Cheng. Believe us, there won’t be a next time!”
“Okay, I will trust you this one time!” After saying that, Cheng Xiao Xiao secretly told Yuteng to remove the vines and the snakies. The three were released right away.
A flash in front of everybody’s eyes and everything was different. The three was scared but wouldn’t show it on their outside. Of course, the way they looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao contained even more fear.
After regaining their freedom, they dare not just leave. The three looked at the girl in front of them, as though waiting for her command.
ch 50.2 – Let THem Go
As a matter of face, she did have an order for them. Standing ten steps away, Cheng Xiao Xiao said in a deep voice, “We have accumulated some mythical beasts for sale. We were going to take them to Lai Yue Inn anyway before you came and ruined everything. Now you go and get some rest. Bring taels and horse-drawn carriage tomorrow for the mythical beasts. We will trade this one time for now. We will see about future business tomorrow.”
“Yes, Miss Cheng. We will go and prepare that right away and be back first thing tomorrow morning!” Deacon Bai was surprised and delighted, he cupped his hands and thanked her.
“Now, get!”
“We shall take off now!” said the three humbly with their hands cupped. With the concealment of the bamboos, they disappeared into the bamboo forest in no time.
After they left, little Yuteng appeared. Cocking her head in a cute manner, she said, “Young Mistress1, why did you let them go and suggested to trade with them?”
“No choice. We have accumulated too much mythical beasts and food. Plus we are in need of cash. I have no other options!” explained Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.
“I think we are letting them go too easily! I still wanted to teach them a lesson!”
“They are not the same as those from the Ning’s. Those from the Ning’s were like bandits, they were here to rob us. These were just here to warn us, and wanted to negotiate a better deal. What they have done was not a capital offense. No need to kill them.”
“Those from the Ning’s deserve to die!” Said Yuteng unhappily. Had she let her appeared, she would have just smashed them and fed them to the mythical beasts.
Speaking of the Ning’s, Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned. She haven’t seem them in a few days and that wasn’t normal.
Unless….
She had heard some about the School of Divine Condor. If words of what has been going on in her family had gotten out, then representative from Divine Condor would surely show up. There would be drama in the days to come.
“I wonder when they will be coming?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao lightly with a hint of a smile.
Little Yuteng blinked and, curiously, she asked, “Young mistress, who do you say are going to show up. Are you talking about the Ning’s?”
“I am sure they will be back and maybe with a few others!”
“So what? If they dare bully us, we don’t need to be nice to them. With our ability, no matter how many of them come, we can take care of them easily!”
“Ho ho ho. Right, we can feed all those baddies to the mythical beasts!”
“Yes, we can even save some feed!”
While the two of them chatted away in the bamboo forest, someone else entered from the other end and shouting as he entered, “Xiao Xiao, where are you? Xiao Xiao, are you here?”
“Him again?” Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned upon hearing the voice. She wasn’t happy. She has been trying to avoid him but he was here looking for her. Hasn’t he anything better to do?
“Xiao Xiao are you here? Hello, Xiao Xiao! I want to talk to you, Xiao Xiao….”
Talk?
Cheng Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and turned and walked the other way while mumbling to herself, “You must be kidding. What is there to talk about? If we really set it straight, I fear he would never appear in front of others again!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao, who hadn’t plan on going into the mountain, exited the other way and started walking toward Mount Wanan.
“Young mistress, you looking for something in the mountain?”
“I have nothing else to do. Might as well go and see if I can find anything else that can level up the dimension!”

Note:
1. I have been using “young master” as the term is not gender specific in Chinese, but a fellow reader suggested “young mistress” instead, so I will be using “young mistress” going forward. J
