"This... You..." Chang Dazhu was momentarily tongue - tied and couldn't say a word for a long time. "Who on earth are you?! How could you possibly take out so many silver notes at once? It's impossible..."
"Master Chang, the facts are right in front of us. Don't waste any more time," Feng Yunshu sneered. "Everyone here has sharp eyes. Do you think I'd forge them? These aren't hell money."
After saying that, Feng Yunshu turned around and stuffed the silver notes into little Chang Fang's hands. "Little Chang Fang, hold these tight."
Little Chang Fang felt as if there was a thousand - jin weight in his hands. Holding the silver notes worth two hundred thousand taels of gold, he was a bit flustered.
"Pretty sister, this..."
"Take them and keep them well. I'll handle the matter of the restaurant later. Don't worry."
With a determined look, Feng Yunshu stuffed the silver notes into Chang Fang's purse and murmured silently, "Little money, mommy is sending you out for now. I'll get you back soon!"
Chang Fang was in a daze throughout. His mind was still off - line, and he silently cooperated with Feng Yunshu to put away the silver notes.
"Master Chang, what are you waiting for? Start biting quickly! Everyone's waiting to watch the show, right, everyone?"
The on - looking onlookers had never seen anyone bite a stone before. They were very curious for a moment and joined in the cheering. "Master Chang, you should honor your bet. Do it! Do it!"
Finally, under the gazes of Feng Yunshu and the others, Chang Dazhu had to brace himself and walk to the stone lion. He opened his mouth and took a bite.
"Crunch." Several of his teeth broke on the spot.
This farce ended with Chang Dazhu being carried by his servants to the medical clinic.
After the excitement was over, the on - lookers quickly dispersed.
Feng Yunshu saw the little cat spirit at little Chang Fang's feet. It was looking at her with big watery eyes, meowing several times while wagging its tail. It seemed very happy.
"Pretty sister, you're really amazing... Thanks to you just now! If it weren't for you helping me, the deed of the Wuxiang Pavilion left to me by my father would surely have been snatched away by my uncle..."
Chang Fang walked up to Feng Yunshu. Although the young man was a bit disheveled, his eyes were clear and bright, and his appearance was quite handsome.
Looking at the young man in front of her, Feng Yunshu suddenly remembered the little junior brother from her previous life's sect. He, like her, was an orphan picked up by the master on the way. Taking a closer look, Chang Fang's eyebrows and eyes were really a bit similar to her introverted little junior brother.
Feng Yunshu's heart softened involuntarily. She reached out and stroked Chang Fang's head. "I'm just doing this on someone's behalf to keep you from being bullied. You can call me Sister Feng."
Chang Fang was very happy. "Sister Feng! My father and mother passed away early. I'm the only one in the family. I've always wanted a sister. Sister Feng, would you like to come to my place for a while?"
Just as Feng Yunshu was about to speak, a broad palm suddenly appeared between them, and little Chang Fang was pushed aside by this palm.
Feng Yunshu looked at the masked man in front of her. There was a sly look in her eyes. Pretend, keep pretending.
"Sir, thanks to you just now for dealing with those ferocious thugs. I have no way to repay you. How about..."
As she spoke, Feng Yunshu leaned in again. The masked man immediately reached out and grabbed her shoulder to stop her from getting closer. "Miss, didn't you say you're already married? Why are your actions still so..."
"So what?"
Feng Yunshu raised her eyebrows and smiled playfully. There was a charming allure in her eyes and brows.
The masked man suddenly reached out and hugged Feng Yunshu's slender waist, pulling her into his arms. "Miss, since you're so enthusiastic, I can't decline. But this place is full of people. How about..."
The masked man leaned close to Feng Yunshu's ear and lowered his voice. "Miss, tell me where your boudoir is. I'll surely come to meet you at midnight tonight."
Feng Yunshu was startled by his sudden bold move. The little spirit in her hand instinctively wanted to pounce out and bite the masked man, but was stopped by Feng Yunshu.
The little spirit showed its two eyes and rolled them around, sizing up the masked man. Suddenly, it seemed to understand something and obediently got back into Feng Yunshu's arms.
Feng Yunshu smiled and told him, "Sure. Come to the Helan Prince's Mansion at midnight tonight. I'll wait for you in the back courtyard of the mansion."
The masked man pursed his lips. "Okay. I just remembered I have other things to attend to. I'll take my leave first. I'll meet you tonight, miss."
Feng Yunshu barely managed to hold back her laughter and winked at him. "Sir, see you then..."
For some reason, the little spirit in her arms suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, making one's back shiver.
After the masked man left, the little spirit transmitted a message to Feng Yunshu. "Master, was that man just now... the Helan Prince?"
Feng Yunshu smiled meaningfully. "Little Ling'er, as the Buddha said, see through but don't expose. Got it?"
"Hehe, is master going to play another prank?" The little spirit blinked its eyes and twitched its ear tips. It was full of energy.
"The old fox likes to pretend. I'd like to see how long he can hide his fox tail."
Hearing this, the little spirit frowned and pouted discontentedly. "Master, our fox clan would never do this. We're obviously very innocent and cute, okay?"
After saying that, the little spirit blinked its big watery eyes at Feng Yunshu.
"Alright, your master has some serious business to attend to."
Feng Yunshu walked up to Chang Fang again and went into the house with him to share her thoughts.
"Chang Fang, you can give the silver notes back to me now. Don't worry, I won't take the deed of your Wuxiang Pavilion."
"You're still a bit young. You might not be capable enough to manage the Wuxiang Pavilion. If you're willing, I can take you as my adopted younger brother. From now on, your business is my business. I'll naturally teach you how to run this restaurant well. How about it?"
"Really?! Sister Feng, you're really willing to take me as your adopted younger brother?!" Chang Fang was so happy that he almost jumped up from the ground.
Feng Yunshu nodded with a smile and stroked his head. "Yes, Sister Feng never lies."
"Okay! I'm willing!"
Feng Yunshu looked at Chang Fang and smiled gently.
She originally planned to check out the surrounding shops to see if there were any business opportunities when she went out this time. Unexpectedly, by chance, she gained a younger brother and also got the temporary right to manage the Wuxiang Pavilion.
As they were talking, Feng Yunshu looked down and saw the little spirit pacing back and forth at Chang Fang's feet, rubbing against him affectionately from time to time.
"Little Chang Fang, did you raise a white cat when you were a kid?"
Hearing this, Chang Fang was stunned on the spot. "Sister Feng, how... how do you know? My little Bai has been gone for several years... My mother passed away not long after giving birth to me. Since I can remember, little Bai has always been by my side, growing up with me and playing with me. I didn't expect it to leave me too..."
As he spoke, Chang Fang choked with sobs, and his young shoulders trembled slightly.
"Little Chang Fang, don't be sad. Little Bai was also very reluctant to leave you. But everything in the world can't escape the cycle of life and death. In fact, it's always been silently accompanying you. You just can't see it."
"Really?! Sister Feng, how do you know it's always been accompanying me?"
Feng Yunshu patted little Chang Fang's shoulder and comforted him softly. "Isn't it always alive in your heart? Silly boy."
Suddenly, Chang Fang's tears fell one after another. All the grievances and tears he had been holding back all this time poured out at this moment.
