TFWYH – Chapter 22 Drag it into the city and sell it

“Hunting,” Tang Wan replied, giving Ling Yue a puzzled look. Then seeing how scared she looked, she added three more words, “It’s dead.”

Ling Yue: (＿)！I know that—but I’m still scared!

This snake was just too damn huge.

Its corpse alone took up half the courtyard!

And that ferocious snake head looked so terrifying—she was afraid it might suddenly open its mouth and bite her!

Seeing how pale her face was, Tang Wan immediately realized she wouldn’t be of any help. “Then you guard the house? I’ll drag it to town and sell it?”

“You… you can drag it?” Ling Yue swore she really wanted to help, but her legs were jelly.

The fact that she was still standing there instead of fainting like her mother took every ounce of strength she had.

Before Tang Wan could say anything else, Uncle Li quickly jumped in, “Let me help. I know the manager at Zui Xian Lou in town—he’s an honest guy, won’t shortchange you.”

“Yeah, and I’ll go borrow an ox cart from the village chief’s house!” added Li’s son.

Tang Wan thought for a moment and then nodded. “Thank you.”

“No problem, no problem, hahaha… If you go into the mountains again, bring us along if it’s convenient!” Even if they didn’t get anything, they’d gain experience!

“Mhm.” Tang Wan nodded—she was fine with that.

The Li father and son immediately sprang into action.

The son, Li Dashan, went out to borrow the ox cart from the village chief.

The father, Li Wu, meanwhile, started trying to pry information out of Tang Wan.

He just wanted to know—how the heck was this little wife so amazing?!

This was a “Earth Dragon”, the king of snakes—and she had managed to slay it!

“Wan-niang, do you know martial arts?”

“Where did you learn it?”

“Would you take an apprentice? My son Dashan is quite gifted…”

“Hold up!” Ling Sheng suddenly cut in with a frown. “She’s my master—your Dashan won’t cut it!”

Li Wu was unconvinced. “Why not? My Dashan’s stronger and taller than you. If you can be her apprentice, why can’t he?”

Ling Sheng snorted proudly, looking smug.
“Your Dashan is too old. If he wants to learn martial arts, he’ll have to do what I did—tie ten-pound sandbags to his legs and run five laps around the village every day!”

“!!”

“Can’t take them off even to eat or sleep.”

“……”

“Every month, increase the sandbags by ten pounds and add five more laps. Do that for ten months straight!”

“（，＃゜Д゜）！”

Li Wu was stunned!

Seeing the exact same dumbfounded expression he had once worn, Ling Sheng couldn’t help but feel a bit gleeful.

But Li Wu quickly composed himself and said firmly, “He’ll do it. He must become her apprentice.”

Ling Sheng: … Are you really his dad?

Tang Wan: … I haven’t even agreed to it yet!

Li Wu didn’t care whether she agreed or not—he had already unilaterally made the decision for his son.

Soon, Li Dashan came back with the ox cart.

Tang Wan went inside to change clothes and informed Ling Yu she was heading to town.

“Mm, come back early,” the beautiful Ling Yu said with a smile.

But if one looked closely, they’d notice that his forehead was covered in cold sweat, his face was a little pale, and his voice even trembled slightly.

Can you blame him?!

His window had been open—and that massive snake was lying right outside. He wasn’t blind!

Anyone would be scared of such a massive, slithery creature. Ling Yu was no exception.

But Tang Wan, clearly unaware of his fear, just turned and left.

As soon as she was gone, Ling Yu let out a heavy sigh of relief.

In his heart, though, a warning bell was ringing.

Never, ever piss off that chubby girl again!

She butchered a giant snake like it was nothing—and with my leg still injured, she’d crush me with zero effort if I got on her bad side!

To avoid drawing a crowd, the Li father and son discussed with Tang Wan and decided to cover the snake’s body with straw.
