Chapter 907: Chapter 596: Two Who Faced the Wall in Repentance Over a Chicken Leg (2)

You really have to admit, Mu Lin understood them quite well.

Looking at Mu Lin, Qiaozi’s cries sounded aggrieved, and beside him, Night, with his silver eyes, flashed a look and swept a glance of disdain.

Always pretending to be cute, every time something happens they know to pretend; contempt. Qiaozi turned his head and gaped at him.

The obvious meaning was: Keep looking down on me and I might just gulp you down.

Night: You wouldn’t dare.

Pretty confident.

These two really never learned their lesson.

"Not planning to confess, eh?" Mu Lin snorted coldly, and the next moment, both animals jumped, and Qiaozi’s fur almost stood on end from fright.

As if they could say anything.

Mu Lin calmly waited, and the next moment, Qiaozi’s wings suddenly shook, and just then, from within so much stuffing, fell a... chicken leg; well, of course, the packaged kind, since Qiaozi—dislikes dirt.

This habit is probably incurable, even though they love to eat, their own feathers are still more important.

Looking at the chicken leg that suddenly dropped, Gong Rui’s face was puzzled, "Eh, isn’t that the chicken leg I just placed ’beside’?" Saying this, she turned to look at a certain spot and seemed... indeed, it was gone.

She had been so focused on their fight that she had almost forgotten about it.

It couldn’t be... they fought over just a chicken leg, could it?

Gong Rui expressed her inability to understand. If they liked it, she could just buy it for them next time, one for each.

With a sigh, looking at the two, Mu Lin really felt like facepalming, "So, you fought over this chicken leg?" She started to wonder how she had been skimping on their food!

Chicken legs and such, hadn’t they eaten plenty? Or was it that the Jing family was so poor they had no meat to eat?

The two indicated that they were actually just... wanting to taste this kind of chicken leg.

They had heard... it was delicious.

They had seen a child outside eating it once before, savoring it with great relish, and then, seeing it this time, they just...

Forget it, Mu Lin was too lazy to argue with them; however, there needed to be a punishment.

Moving forward two steps, she picked up the chicken leg as the two drooled with longing eyes, placing it between them. Amidst their confusion, Mu Lin curved her lips slightly, "You know I’ve never been one for corporal punishment." Her cool voice carried a hint of mischief, a fleeting smile crossed her serene gaze, and inexplicably, both felt the hairs on their backs stand on end.

Night: I have no hairs, my skin is smooth as can be.

Qiaozi: ...Is that the point here?

Mu Lin: "I was just thinking, since you both are so keen on eating this chicken leg." In their hopeful gaze, she deliberately paused for a moment, "Then I shall punish you... to face the wall and reflect, and, no meat for you tonight." Being forbidden from eating meat was no light penalty for the two of them.

Then, the moment Mu Lin’s words fell, in the hearts of the two animals, a stampede ensued.

Little Mu Lin (Master), I was wrong.

If it weren’t for Mu Lin’s order to stand at attention, they would have likely flung themselves over to roll around and flirt for the sake of a meal of meat.

Unfortunately, Mu Lin had already chosen to ignore their pleaful expressions on their faces.

"Properly face the wall, and if I catch you again... you know what will happen." There wasn’t much need for more words, after all, some threats carry more... power when left unspoken.

Once she finished speaking, Mu Lin took Gong Rui by the hand and walked towards the house.

Looking back at the two animals with an apologetic glance, Gong Rui smiled sheepishly.

It was her fault, if only she hadn’t brought the chicken leg given to her by a classmate, then they wouldn’t have been punished.

Gong Rui thought, maybe later she would sneak into the kitchen and grab two pieces of meat for them; uh... sneakily, so mom wouldn’t know.

Of course, how could Mu Lin not be aware of her little schemes, yet she had no intention of stopping her.

After all, that’s the kind of mischief a child should have, isn’t it?

In truth, Mu Lin didn’t really want to punish the two rascals.

The next day, when Jing Chen and Mu Lin got up early to head to the military base, and along the way, certain individuals had been guarding from a distance all night, quickly followed along, all for just a chance.

After all, a place like the military courtyard is not somewhere they dared to come too close to, lest they be thrown in before completing their mission; and once in, there is no getting out.

They didn’t believe that this ’Lord Jing’ could accompany her every day, there had to be a time when he wasn’t there, and when that time came, it would be their chance to act.
