"Not to mention, who said we aren't able to guard our own goods? Would we sell our goods if we don't have the ability to guard them? Don't you think we are aware of the values of our own goods?"
She paused and smiled lightly. Looking unfalteringly at Deacon Lin, she said in a provocative tone, "Would Deacon Lin like to give that a try? We will be ready whenever you like!"
"Great, great, great!" Deacon Lin gave her a dead stare, he was enraged but wasn't going to explode right at this moment.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was unaffected by his deadly gaze, she sounded indifferent as usual, "Of course it's great, we hope you are great too!"
With that said, she turned away from him and looked directly at Innkeeper Zhu, "Mr. Innkeeper, we are sorry. We will no longer be doing business with you. Have a safe trip back!"
"Miss Cheng, I..."
"We are sorry, have a safe trip!" Cheng Xiao Xiao interrupted him, there was no need to continue the conversation.
Deacon Lin let out a loud hrm and disappeared from the chair in a flash. Deacon Lin gave her a deep look before he stood up and left.
Last of all of them, Innkeeper Zhu walked out sighing.
This unpleasant exchange would certainly bring upon them hidden dangers in the future. Mrs. Cheng was worried, she looked at the two in front of her and not sure what to say.
Cheng Biyuan seemed calm and nobody could read what was on his mind. He sipped his tea quietly as though he was unaffected by the earlier exchange.
Cheng Xiao Xiao said a few words to comfort her mother before heading into the kitchen to prepare dinner with her.
After dinner that night, Cheng Xiao Xiao entered the dimension and told Yuteng to surveil their land vigilantly. She was expecting trouble that night.
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not forget the deadly stare from Deacon Lin. He would act tonight, he wouldn't back off so easily.
After everyone was asleep, Cheng Xiao Xiao tipped toe out of the house. Under the moonlight, she strolled to her range. There were about 100 mythical animals there. If they were to come, this would be their first target.
Yuteng laid her branches around the ranch. On top of serving the purpose of surveillance, it could also attack the intruders immediately. They were ready for any intruders.
Time flowed!
It was between 9 – 11 PM, and Cheng Xiao Xiao was leaning up against Yuteng's branches and resting her eyes, the two dogs were guarding the vegetable field. It was quiet everywhere.
"Young master, there are two people approaching!'
Yuteng's voice rang next to her ears all of a sudden along with the alerts from the two dogs. Cheng Xiao Xiao slowly opened her eyes and looked to the end of the road, surely she detected two person in black approaching.
She didn't need to see their faces, she could tell by their silhouettes that they were Deacon Bai and Lin. She didn't expect the both of them to come together. It looked like they wanted to send a strong message.
She instructed the dogs to pretend that they were still sleeping and weren't aware of the intruders. Just as she had expected, they headed toward the ranch.
Hidden from sight by Yuteng, she smiled coldly as she waited for their arrival. She wanted to know if there going to steal the mythical animals or to cull them!"
The two looked around warily. Deacon Lin whispered, "Go. Leave not one!"
