Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xue Tiantian was stunned. Whenever she wanted to open her mouth to curse, Zhou Xiaoli would slap her hard.

It scared her.

She covered her face and did not dare to make another sound.

“Hmph! Did you think that I can’t deal with you!” Zhou Xiaoli thought.

Zhou Xiaoli flexed her wrist and sneered.

Sigh, it was just a little troublesome.

At this moment, Wei Chiyu returned. He walked into the shop and saw the scene.

Pointing at Xue Tiantian, he frowned and asked, “Did you hit her?”

“Ah? That’s right.” Zhou Xiaoli was stunned. “What’s wrong?”

At the same time, she wondered in her heart. “Wei Chiyu should not have had any interaction with Xue Tiantian before, right?” she thought.

Or did he think she was too rough?

Just as Zhou Xiaoli wondered, Wei Chiyu asked again. “Seems quite serious. What did you use to hit her with?”

Zhou Xiaoli shrugged. “What can I use? My hands.”

At this moment, Xue Tiantian slowly recovered from her shock. Her mind was no longer as muddled as before. When she heard Wei Chiyu’s words, she thought that he felt sorry for her and wanted to stand up for her.

She took a look at the young man again. Although he was dressed ordinarily, he was handsome and strong. She immediately flipped her hair and started crying weakly.

“Young Master, wuwuwu, it’s all this evil woman’s fault for hitting me. Young Master, quickly help me.”

She pretended to be enchanting and was so confident that her posture now was seductive. However, she did not know that because of her sorry state, she just seemed funny.

After saying that, she even glanced at Zhou Xiaoli smugly, as if to flaunt how attractive she was to men.

However, in the next second, Wei Chiyu sighed and said, “Are you stupid? How can you use your hand to hit someone? How painful it must be for you!”

Xue Tiantian, who was gloating, froze on the spot. She was in disbelief. “Young, young master?”

Wei Chiyu ignored her. “Here, use this next time. It’s powerful. You can shoot through a pig with just one arrow.”

As he spoke, he handed a small crossbow to Zhou Xiaoli.

“...”

Zhou Xiaoli almost burst out laughing.

“What a way of speaking to insult others without using vulgarities. I didn’t expect this from you, Wei Chiyu.” she thought to herself.

“Not bad. Let me see if I can shoot through a pig then.” She immediately took over the crossbow and pointed it at Xue Tiantian.

“But what if I can’t shoot accurately?” she pondered aloud, as though in doubt.

“It’s fine. Shoot as many as you please. There will be one that can pierce through it.”

“Yes, that makes sense.”

Listening to the ‘crazy’ conversation between these two people, the onlookers at the side automatically moved away, leaving only Xue Tiantian in the shop.

Even Xue Tiantian’s friend were so scared that she avoided her.

Looking at the crossbow aimed at her, Xue Tiantian’s face turned pale and her lips trembled. “You, you would not dare to... Killing is illegal.”

“It doesn’t matter. As long as I can pull you down, it’s not a loss.” Zhou Xiaoli said indifferently.

She said it with absolute certainty and that made Xue Tiantian feel that she was dead serious!

“Crazy, you’re crazy!”

Xue Tiantian was completely terrified while looking at the ‘mad’ Zhou Xiaoli.

She wanted to run, but her legs were too weak to move.

Zhou Xiaoli was still aiming at her with her crossbow.

Phew!

Xue Tiantian immediately screamed. She covered her head and fell to the ground.

Immediately after, Zhou Xiaoli’s crisp laughter rang out. “Hey, what are you doing? I haven’t even drawn the bow, and you have chickened out? Tsk, how boring.”

It turned out that Zhou Xiaoli had only used her mouth to simulate the whooshing sound of an arrow, and had not actually shot an arrow out.

However, Xue Tiantian was paralyzed with fear.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s ridicule, Xue Tiantian flew into a rage out of humiliation.

At this moment, there was a smell in the air.

“Hmm, what’s that smell?”

“Yeah, what’s that smell?”

“So smelly. It smelt like... pee?”

At this time, everyone looked around for the smell and their eyes fell on Xue Tiantian.

Then, they saw a puddle of water beside her dress...

Did she peed herself out of shock?

Immediately, laughter rang out.

...

Xue Tiantian was so ashamed that she teared up and wanted to hide in a hole.

She wanted to get up and leave this place quickly.

However, her legs were weak and she could not stand up at all. Hence, she looked at her good friend.

However, her good friend had a look of disdain on her face and was unwilling to help her up.

But in the end, under Xue Tiantian’s threatening gaze, she still walked over and helped her up from the ground.

Xue Tiantian gritted her teeth and glared at Zhou Xiaoli. “You b*tch! Just you wait!”

Then, she was ready to leave.

At this moment, the shopkeeper suddenly rushed out and stopped her. “Hey, Miss, Miss, wait a moment.”

“You haven’t taken the silk cloth you wanted. It’s a total of 1300 copper coins.”

Upon seeing the silk cloth, Xue Tiantian finally found a little bit of success in this defeat.

She had finally won a little in this battle.

...

Hmph! So what if she was beaten up? She still managed to snatch away the fabric that Zhou Xiaoli liked!

Thinking of this, she immediately looked for her pouch to pay.

However, after a moment, she retracted her hand awkwardly. “Shopkeeper, I... I didn’t bring enough money. Can I put it on the tab?”

When she went out, her mother had given her five taels of silver. She had just spent most of it on rouge and powder. At this moment, she only had 500 copper coins on her.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper’s expression changed. He quickly took back the silk cloth from her, as though he was afraid that the silk cloth would be contaminated with the smell of the other party’s urine. He would not be able to sell it to others then.

“Little girl, you have gone overboard. If you didn’t have enough money with you, why did you pretend to be able to afford it? Aren’t you creating trouble?”

Hearing this, Xue Tiantian felt even more ashamed.

“Only 1300 copper coins? I thought it would be more expensive.”

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli’s voice suddenly sounded. As she spoke, she showed the two pieces of silver in her hand.

The shopkeeper immediately smiled. “Miss, I can tell that you’re more reliable than this girl. This silk cloth is yours.”

Zhou Xiaoli looked at the silk cloth and snorted coldly in her heart, but she still wore a smile on her face.

“This silk cloth is beautiful.”

Under the other party’s expectant gaze, Zhou Xiaoli said coldly, “Unfortunately, I don’t want it anymore.”

With that, she picked up her two bolts of burlap and left with Wei Chiyu.

After leaving the fabric shop, Wei Chiyu suddenly said, “I didn’t expect you to hold grudges.”

It was obvious that Zhou Xiaoli had intentionally taken out two pieces of silver to show off in order to anger the shopkeeper.

Zhou Xiaoli placed the linen on the donkey cart and shrugged. “No, no. I don’t hold grudges at all. Because if I have a grudge, I’ll take revenge on the spot.”

“So, don’t offend me in the future. I’m a petty person and I’ll take revenge.”

Wei Chiyu couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re telling the truth.”

Then, he changed the topic. “However, what a coincidence. It’s the same for me.”

Zhou Xiaoli laughed and said, “Then, that makes two of us.”

Wei Chiyu curled his lips. “Since we are the same, we would know each other best. In short, confidants. We can be considered as confidants.”

Zhou Xiaoli: “Yeah, who said that wasn’t the case?”

The two of them couldn’t help but smile at each other.

“Oh, right. Here you go.”

With that, Zhou Xiaoli returned the crossbow to Wei Chiyu.

When they came to the county, she had never seen this crossbow on him before. It must have been what Wei Chiyu went to retrieve from his friend.
