…

On the side, Wang Luoyi and Gongsun Hui were both just taking in the show and even laughing heartily. It was rather special to witness Wang Shouzhe get schoouted and kep his silence – made the whole thing quite interesting.

“Alright, alright, I won’t compete with you today, let’s quickly have dinner,” Wang Luomiao waved her hand and sighed, then took her place at the table, “When we have time later, I will slowly enlighten you about this. Sweet-talking girls is a profound knowledge, you will gradually understand it, Wang Shouzhe.”

“My lady, where did she learn all this from?” Wang Shouzhe sat weakly at the dining table.

Gongsun Hui gave him a glance and laughed, “Who made you put no effort into sweet-talking your younger sister, you had it coming.”

“I will take the lesson to heart, and I will upgrade my skills to sweet-talk my younger sister later,” Wang Shouzhe wiped off his cold sweat. Indeed, he shouldn’t have underestimated those little girls. They were quite problematic. Lu Xiaoxiao, Wang Luo Jing, Wang Luoqiu, Wang Licui and even the young Wang Luomiao were extraordinary.

His younger brothers were probably not too clumsy either. In front of him, the eldest son of the direct line, they must be reluctant to speak. They probably wouldn’t dare to stand up to him, otherwise, the embarrassment they received would be even worse.

The strict attitude of the Wang family towards men was much stronger than for girls.

“Let’s eat first, lest Miaomiao gets hungry,” Wang Luoyi laughed and called Wang Xiaoyu to serve the meal. She even managed to bring out some spiritual wine, not the usual White Jade Spiritual Rice Wine, but spirit fruit wine that was of a green colour.

Spirit fruit was even rarer than White Jade Spiritual Rice, and it had health beneficial properties that maintain the beauty of the skin. It was more popular amongst the women of Xuwen prominent family.

The dishes were not complex, most of them were fresh vegetables from the farm, eating them went down easy and it was quite appetising. To cater to Wang Shouzhe whose requirement for replenishing his vitality was high, a large bowl of braised pork and some other meat dishes were specially prepared.

“Huh? This isn’t Spirit Horned Yaks meat.” Wang Shouzhe stared at the bowl of meat, quite surprised.

The Changning area also had two powerful celestial prominent families, where one of them, Changning Huangfu had an exceedingly large animal farm. They raised not only normal cows, horses, pigs, and sheep but also bred the well-known Spirit Horned Yaks.

The major source of meat for each family was mostly purchased from Huangfu Clan. Especially, Spirit Horned Yaks, which is the mainstream source of spirit meat for all the major families. By relying on this animal farm, the celestial Huangfu Clan earned a fortune, not to mention they also had other industries. Thus, the comprehensive strength of any celestial family was daunting.

“This is the meat of a wild top Level Two beast – the Iron-backed Wild Pig,” Wang Luoyi said, “The vitality contained within is much stronger than that of farmed Spirit Horned Yaks, and since you’ve been quite hardworking recently, it will be good to replenish your vitality.”

My goodness, a top Level Two beast — that’s equivalent to a peak human Qi Refinement practitioner. Under normal circumstances, a peak Qi Refinement practitioner would have a hard time defeating a same-level wild beast on one’s own.

You could say that it’s almost impossible to go it alone with the beast. If they lose, they lose their lives. Even if they win, they would probably also be half exhausted.

Landside beasts often excel at wild fights, their strength is fearsome. Speaking in terms of our Earth, that Iron-backed Wild Pig is like a rampaging tank, its skin is thick and tough and is very hard to deal with.

To hunt this kind of beast, in addition to the necessary martial power, humans also have to consider strategies and traps. The Wang family’s ship crew in the river hunting Spirit Fish also needs to use strategies and techniques.

“Sister, you have a spirit fruit wine here, and Level Two beast meat there,” Wang Shouzhe was a little surprised, “Where did you get all these? Did you strike it rich, sister?”

Wang Luoyi’s face turned slightly red and she said in a low voice, “It was all sent by Chen Fangjie, who asked us to try it. They said that their ship team found a lone Iron-backed Wild Pig in the wilderness not far from the opposite bank of the river. The old ancestor of the Chen Clan, Jun Yao, led the team to decisively strike and hunt down that Iron-backed Wild Pig.”

A lone Iron-backed Wild Pig?

Wang Shouzhe had an envious look on his face. This was a great thing for replenishing vitality. This Iron-backed Wild Pig was worth a lot more money than the East Sea Arrow Flagfish he had hunted. Although that beastfish was also Level Two, it didn’t reach the top of Level Two.

However, if a Level Two top tier beast actually appeared nearby, it would absolutely be a disaster for the Wang family. When their old ancestor couldn’t easily make a move, to hunt it down, feared that there would be a lot of casualties.

He was envious that they have an old ancestor who could lead the team to hunt in the wild.

Fortunately, in the Wang family, Old Ancestor Longyan was now transforming the Yin Sha energy and actively treating her injury. Once her injury healed, her comprehensive combat power would probably be unparalleled by the one held by Old Ancestor Jun Yao.

“Clang, clang.”

Two crisp sounds of the bowl being struck interrupted Wang Shouzhe’s thoughts.

“Wang Shouzhe, my dear brother.” Wang Luomiao was knocking her bowl and saying, “Listen and see how Chen Fangjie does it. He has not married yet, but he’s already courting his future wife by sending gifts to please her. I tell you that, for a relationship, it has to be cultivated before getting married. You mustn’t neglect our Ruolan (sister-in-law).”

Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help laughing and pinched her cheek, “What do you understand as a little girl? The Liu Family is much stronger than our family, what can’t they have? Also, it’s not allowed to knock bowls during meal times.” Chen Fangjie gave a gift to his sister, however, this little girl set fire to his own head.

“Miaomiao, your brother is right, no knocking on the bowl. However, Shouzhe, Miaomiao does have a point,” Gongsun Hui carefully replied, “Although you and Miss Liu are in contact privately before getting married, which is somewhat inappropriate. However, Ruolan will be the Wang family’s daughter-in-law sooner or later, so it’s nice to show concern in advance. Zhe Er, didn’t you just catch a Level Two Spirit Fish? Pick out the best parts and have a female house servant deliver it.”

“Yes, Auntie.” Wang Shouzhe felt there was no need, but he still acted on her words.

“It’d be best to personally write a letter included inside.” Wang Luomiao excitedly suggested, “To show sister-in-law Ruolan your intentions.”

“Don’t spout nonsense and she hasn’t married into our family yet, stop shouting sister-in-law recklessly.” Wang Shouzhe gave her a light rebuke, “What sort of extravagant stories have you been reading recently? Let me tell you, at your age, you should be taking care of your health, solidify your foundation, do your homework, and learn basic arithmetic.”

Wang Shouzhe also knew that the youngest girl in the family loved to read random history books, all about love and romance. Boys, on the other hand, mostly preferred to read heroic adventure stories involving conflicts.

These were all small books and were privately circulated among the siblings of the major families. Despite being only eight years old, children of the Profound Martial prominent family usually start learning early. The more intelligent children can already understand quite a few characters at the age of eight.

“Wah~” Wang Luomiao burst into tears, “Mother, Brother is bullying me.”

“Your brother is right to admonish you.” Gongsun Hui also became serious, “At your age, you shouldn’t be reading such absurd stories. When we get back, give them all to me. Furthermore, this family tradition needs to be rectified.”

“Mother, I was wrong.” Wang Luomiao pleaded for mercy, while secretly casting a resentful glare at Wang Shouzhe, her teeth grinding in anger.

“Mother, these young girls these days are very precocious. Don’t underestimate them. Miaomiao is a clever and witty girl, she must have hidden the books thoroughly.” Wang Shouzhe immediately advised, “We have to search everywhere. Under the mattress, on the beams, under desks, every hidden corner must be checked. Oh, we can’t forget to check the maids who take care of her!”

“Zhe Er is right.” Gongsun Hui wholeheartedly agreed with a serious expression.

“Wah!”

Wang Luomiao’s soft spot was hit, and she burst into tears, “Mean brother, bad brother, always bullying people. No wonder Xiaoyu calls you a big bad guy, a terrible Great Demon King.”

Hehe~

Xiaoyu’s continuous charges against his reputation are indeed relentless. Along with the spread of her snack, his “infamy” reached every corner.

Then, while he sipped on the Spirit Fruit wine and munched on Spirit Meat, he calmly said, “If Mother intends to correct this behavior, it’s necessary to suppress it at its source and cut off the channels of propagation. At the same time, we should prepare more famous works from ancient times, so that the children of our family can be properly influenced by the timeless works of the ancients. I think the ancient work ‘East Town Tower Records’ is quite good. It is full of grand ambition and exquisite language. Miaomiao using it for recitation and memorization to accumulate cultural enlightenment would be the best.”

“Huh?” Wang Luomiao stopped crying, her eyes wide open. What the heck? She had never even heard of that terrible book… Wang Shouzhe, this is revenge, revenge!

“Uh..?” Gongsun Hui hesitated, “That renowned work is indeed wonderful, but it’s too heavily steeped in ancient language, so the language is deep and profoundly enigmatic. Even I struggle to read it. Can your sister Miaomiao handle it?”

“Wu wu, Mother is the best. She knows how to cherish me.” Wang Luomiao smiled happily. She had no interest in that shoddy ‘Tower Record’, filled with profound, complex language.

How good is the circulated pamphlet ‘Dominant Senior Brother and Pretty Junior Sister’? The story is full of twists and turns, and tragically beautiful.

“It doesn’t matter. Miaomiao is an intelligent girl from an early age, and she is unlike ordinary girls.” Wang Shouzhe smiled lightly, looking at his sister “fondly,” “At first, transcribing and reciting might seem a bit difficult. But as they say, if at first you don’t succeed, try again. If it still doesn’t work, try a hundred times. After a while, you will get the hang of it.”

“Are you kidding?”

She has to copy it a hundred times? What does he mean by ‘after a while, you will get the hang of it’?

Wang Luomiao shivered with fear, looking at her gentle and beautiful mother. Her frantic heart became calm again. Yes, yes, she is so obedient, and her mother cherishes her so much. She would surely not…

“Zhe Er is right indeed, your sister Miaomiao is clever ahead of her time, but when it comes to studying, she lacks patience and tends to quit early.” Gongsun Hui agreed solemnly, “She does need to be trained thoroughly and understand the principle that constant dropping wears the stone.”

“Wa~” Wang Luomiao cried again. Her crying was incredibly forlorn and desolate.

Wang Luoyi at the side looked at Wang Luomiao, then turned to Wang Shouzhe who was wearing a “doting” expression for sister Miaomiao and felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

It’s no wonder that whenever Xiaoyu hears “Fourth Uncle,” she trembles all over, her face turns pale, and she can’t even stand properly.

At this moment, she was very relieved that she was Wang Shouzhe’s older sister, and not his younger sister or niece. Otherwise, wouldn’t she also be shrouded in darkness and fear?
