TFWYH – Chapter 266 Top-Tier Master

“It’s no trouble at all, sir. Please sit for a while—it’ll be ready very soon!”
Ling Yue cast him a shy glance, then ran into the kitchen.

Little Ling Chen, squatting beside Tàxuě, looked speechlessly at his second sister, then at Ji Wushuang, and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Breathing in the fragrant aroma, Ji Wushuang glanced around the not-so-large courtyard, his gaze quickly drawn to Tàxuě.

He walked over to Tàxuě, patted its long face, and looked at little Ling Chen.
“Is this your horse?”

Ling Chen shook his head. “It belongs to my sister-in-law. But she rarely rides it.”

Ji Wushuang raised an eyebrow in surprise. “She can ride a horse?”

Hey!

Why wouldn’t sister-in-law be able to ride a horse?

Little Ling Chen immediately bristled. “Not only can my sister-in-law ride, she also knows martial arts. She killed an earth dragon all by herself without breaking a sweat.”

Ji Wushuang was even more astonished. “She knows martial arts? And she killed an earth dragon?”

He knew what an earth dragon was—huge in size and immensely strong. Ordinary, half-baked martial skills couldn’t deal with it at all.

If someone could kill an earth dragon alone, then that person had to be at least a first-rate expert!

Tang Wan!

A first-rate expert?

Ji Wushuang truly couldn’t connect her with those four words.

“Kid, tell me about your sister-in-law,” Ji Wushuang said. At this moment, he was genuinely curious about Tang Wan.

Ling Chen didn’t really want to talk.

But thinking of his little money jar, his eyes rolled, and he said, “My sister-in-law says that if you want something, you have to pay for it. If I tell you about her, what will you give me?”

Ji Wushuang was taken aback, then laughed. “What do you want?”

Ling Chen thought for a moment, then said kindly, “Since you’re so familiar with my sister-in-law, I’ll give you a discount. One question—ten taels of silver!”

Ji Wushuang: …

What kind of mutant child is this?

What on earth had Tang Wan been teaching him?

He was this young and already knew how to do business?

Ji Wushuang was so exasperated he laughed, and agreed on the spot. “Fine!”

Ten taels of silver meant nothing to him.

With money to be made, little Ling Chen was very cooperative.

But he was quite crafty, focusing heavily on how good sister-in-law was to big brother—practically doting on him to the heavens…

Ji Wushuang was force-fed with displays of affection, and at last had a rough understanding of Tang Wan.

Not easy at all!

Before long, Jiang-shi also brought out the hotpot.

She even poured Ji Wushuang a cup of milk tea!

At first, Ji Wushuang looked at the big pot full of red chilies with disdain, and felt even more put off when he learned the whole family was dipping food into the same pot.

But it smelled too good—he couldn’t resist the temptation and tried a slice of pork kidney.

And after that, he couldn’t stop!

All notions of refined elegance were thrown out the window.

There was only one word—

Eat!

Only when his stomach truly couldn’t take any more did he reluctantly set down his bowl and chopsticks.

Seeing everyone looking at him, and at the hotpot ingredients that were more than half gone, Ji Wushuang rarely blushed.
“I’ve never had this before. It was so good that I ended up eating a bit too much.”

“It’s fine—people are always like this the first time they have hotpot!” Ling Yue said understandingly.

Jiang-shi also smiled. “If you like it, eat more. Once Yue’er finishes being busy for a while, she’s planning to open a hotpot restaurant. When the time comes, you can come eat whenever you want!”

“Sounds great!” Ji Wushuang said, though inwardly he felt a bit regretful.

He had to return to the capital. By the time the restaurant opened, he probably wouldn’t be able to eat here again.

After the meal, Ji Wushuang took his leave. Tang Wan walked him out.

Ji Wushuang mounted his horse, then turned his head to look at her.
“I hear you know martial arts?”
