TFWYH – Chapter 33 Young Master Ruqing

This place was only about one li (approx. 500 meters) from town—there was absolutely no need for a ride!

Tang Wan was still alright, just a bit of pain in her lower abdomen and lacking in energy. She figured she probably caught a chill around her stomach at night, and a bit of hot water when she got back would do the trick.

Seeing her insist, Ling Yue didn’t argue further. She took the basket from Tang Wan’s back and helped her walk forward.

The two of them soon arrived at town.

After paying the entry fee, they went straight to Zui Xian Lou (Drunken Immortal Restaurant).

Apparently, Manager Xu had already told the waiters to be on the lookout. Plus, Tang Wan’s… size made her easy to recognize.

As soon as a waiter saw the plump young woman, he immediately stepped forward and politely asked,

“Are you Lady Ling?”

Tang Wan nodded.

“You recognize me?”

“Of course. The manager instructed us that if you came, we were to bring you to him.”

“Much appreciated.”

“Please follow me.”

The waiter directly led Tang Wan to a private room on the third floor.

When she stepped inside, she saw that it wasn’t just Manager Xu—there was also a young man around twenty, with proper and handsome features.

“Lady Ling, allow me to introduce you,” Manager Xu said warmly. “This is Young Master Yu Ziqing, the true owner of Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Young Master, this is Lady Ling—the dragon meat you tasted came from her hunt!”

Yu Ziqing froze in surprise and looked at Tang Wan with astonishment. He truly couldn’t imagine a woman could be the one who hunted a ground dragon.

Tang Wan’s expression was calm—even a bit impatient.

She really wasn’t feeling well and just wanted to go home and lie down. She had no energy to entertain irrelevant people.

But Manager Xu had said—this was the real boss.

Tang Wan suppressed her discomfort and gave him a polite nod.

“Hello.”

“Very good, very good!” Yu Ziqing was clearly interested in her. “You know martial arts?”

“A little.”

“More than just ‘a little,’ surely? Otherwise, how could you have hunted a ground dragon?”

“I used medicine.”

“Oh? You also know medicine?”

Tang Wan: … What’s it to you? What’s with all the questions?

“Poison.”

Yu Ziqing was startled by her blunt reply. He immediately bent over, completely disregarding his image, and began trying to gag out the dragon meat he had eaten.

Manager Xu was dumbfounded.

“Lady Ling, this isn’t something to joke about!”

“It’s harmless to humans,” Tang Wan added indifferently, inwardly snorting—Serves you right for pestering me!

I just want to make money off you people—not become friends with you.

Manager Xu let out a long sigh of relief at her clarification. Yu Ziqing also stopped his undignified action. The next moment, he returned to his refined, gentlemanly manner—waving a fan and flashing a flashy smile.

“Lady Ling, you really have a sense of humor.”

“You flatter me.”

…Was that supposed to be a compliment?
Yu Ziqing twitched slightly at the corner of his eye, and before he could continue questioning her, Tang Wan cut him off directly:

“I’ve brought the doubanjiang (fermented bean paste). Are you taking it?”

“Well…” Manager Xu hesitated and turned to look at Yu Ziqing.

After all, the young master had just been played by this Lady Ling—who knew if he’d hold a grudge?

Of course Yu Ziqing was annoyed. As the dignified son of Marquis Wenxuan, being teased by a village woman—how could he not be mad?

Though he was smiling, there was no warmth in his eyes.

“Lady Ling, that’s something you should be asking me.”

“Then are you buying or not?” she replied flatly.
What’s with all the nonsense?

It’s not like your restaurant is the only one in town. If you won’t take it, someone else will. Why waste time?

Yu Ziqing narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Being disrespected again and again by a village woman—he was truly starting to get angry.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Ling Yue, who had never been in such a fancy place before, was extremely nervous. As soon as she entered, she tried her best to reduce her presence, terrified of angering these big shots.
