I Married A Disabled Tyrant After Transmigrating-Chapter 74
Thirty-six Dragons (1)
Mu Wanwan was silent for a second when she heard Hongye’s words. She thought of the cute and skinny chirp at home, and said, “It’s not bad. It tastes quite fresh.”
“Yes, it does. But it’s a common thing after all, so it contains a fair bit of impurities. It’s better to have it just once in a well.” After Hongye finished speaking, she added excitedly, “Madam, after I de-feathered all the tits yesterday, I sent a few to Supervisor Chen at the edge of the forbidden grounds. Guess who I saw?”
Mu Wanwan frowned, “Bai Shuiyao?”
“Haha, yes,” Hongye smiled, delighting in her misfortune. “She’s not at all as stuck up as she used to when she was with my brother. When I was there yesterday, she was watering the vegetable garden, wearing coarse clothes and looking all bedraggled.
“I think she was lying when she said she had some kind of treasure back then.”
Mu Wanwan listened to Hongye but did not answer. She reckoned that Mu Shan might have given Bai Shuiyao some treasures, but they were surely not of a very high level. Otherwise, with Bai Shuiyao’s temperament, she should have turned things around by now. However, her biggest backing was not the treasure from Father Mu, but the halo she had as the female protagonist.
Mu Wanwan was a little thankful that the place at the forbidden grounds where Bai Shuiyao had been punished had only women. The person-in-charge, Supervisor Chen, was also a tough one, and had Bai Shuiyao firmly under her thumb. After all, as long as there were men, there would be room for Bai Shuiyao to utilise her halo as an R-rated novel’s female protagonist.
Seeing that Mu Wanwan wasn’t speaking, Hongye thought she wasn’t interested in this topic, so she did not continue. The two headed to the elven market in silence, and parted ways as before.
After agreeing on the time to head back, Mu Wanwan paid the entry fee and headed into the marketplace with her basket.
She didn’t set off very early today, so by the time she got to the market, there were already many people there.
After thinking about it, Mu Wanwan decided to find a place where the flow of traffic was decent to sell the vegetables first. However, as there were a lot of people today, she couldn’t find an empty spot despite searching for quite a while.
Mu Wanwan sighed and decided to forget about it. She would give all the vegetables to Uncle Zong then.
Smelling the aroma of all kinds of food as she walked, she came to a less crowded alley.
When Mu Wanwan reached the entrance of his shop, she saw that the door was half-open and could vaguely hear the sound of arguing coming from inside.
“Brother, why are you being so obstinate!”
“When has it become your place to mind my business?”
Accidentally overhearing a little of the exchange, Mu Wanwan felt that she hadn’t come at the right time. She turned around to leave, deciding to come back later.
However, she hadn’t taken more than a few steps when she saw a tall, angry beastman exiting and slamming the door. He looked somewhat like Uncle Zong, only younger, and also with three beast stripes on his forehead. When he passed Mu Wanwan, he even gave her a fierce glare.
Mu Wanwan pretended that she was just passing by and didn’t go directly into Uncle Zong’s shop. After the beastman was far away, she turned back and knocked on the door of Uncle Zong’s shop.
“Go away, we’re not open today.”
Uncle Zong was obviously angry. His head was lowered in thought, and his face was ominous and battered, telling her to scram without even looking to see who it was.
Mu Wanwan was a little speechless, and thought Uncle Zong must be relying on the fact that he was almost at rank 4 and pretty powerful, even among the eleves, which was why he dared to be so fierce. She said a little resignedly, “Uncle Zong, it’s me.”
As soon as her voice rang out, Uncle Zong froze momentarily, then looked up joyously. “It’s you!”
Mu Wanwan set her basket down. “Uncle Zong, have you forgotten about me?”
Uncle Zong went on, “You’re finally here, you’re finally here.”
Mu Wanwan felt that there was something not quite right about how excited he was. Through her veiled hat, she saw the beastman jump to his feet and stare at her with almost blood-shot eyes, “Have you brought the Bixing grass fruits?”
Mu Wanwan didn’t know what was wrong with him, but she did not dawdle. She retrieved her interdimensional pouch straightway and took out the Bixing grass fruits and Baizhen fruits that she’d packed last night and placed them on the table in front of Uncle Zong.
Uncle Zong couldn’t hide his joy. He grabbed a handful of Bixing grass fruits and Baizhen fruits, gave her a deep look, then immediately lifted the curtain and left.
Mu Wanwan was not stupid, and could probably guess a little of the situation—
Had Yun’er’s health deteriorated again in the past few days? That beastman just now was Uncle Zong’s younger brother, and according to the content of the quarrel, it was highly likely that Uncle Zong had done something again for Yun’er these few days, and his younger brother couldn’t stand to just watch any more.
Mu Wanwan sighed with emotion. Uncle Zong was really a very devoted beastman. Compared to the original body’s scumbag father, he was the complete opposite. When Mister Long fell and the Mu family was implicated, Mu Shan decisively sacrificed his two daughters as pawns in order to cross over to Ao Qin’s side.
Although Bai Shuiyao always went on about how much Mu Shan loved her, that was only in comparison with Mu Wanwan. What Mu Shan loved most was himself. It was impossible for him to go all out for his lover like Uncle Zong.
This wasn’t Mu Wanwan’s first time at Uncle Zong’s. Estimating that the waiting time would be a little long this time, she found a stool and sat down, then began to observe the spiritual plants and seeds on the two rows of shelves.
She thought she would look at the seeds Uncle Zong had first, so it wouldn’t take too much time later.
