Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Return to Mu Family Village (2)_1

Cai Wei placed the basket into the cart and spoke to Zhang Bo before following Luo Xue.

In the tea house, Nangong Yi was seated at a table, studying the item she referred to as a ’gun’. When he heard the sound of her familiar footsteps approach, his heart began to race for no reason...

Upon walking into the elegant room, Cai Wei’s eyes lit up at the sight of the gun in the man’s hand. She forgot the unpleasantness between them and rushed to his side, snatching the gun from his hand and saying, "Let me have a look."

The man chuckled, his eyes filled with both bitterness and helplessness. This girl was solely focused on the gun and didn’t even look at him. Yet, he was thinking about her day and night, reminiscing her delicate beauty, her tantrums, her playfulness. Every expression of her was deeply engraved in his heart. It seemed like a little demon who was always in his thoughts!

And she didn’t even look at him once, as if he didn’t exist, this heartless child...

Luo Xue saw Cai Wei’s rude behavior and blunt words, even failing to greet before grabbing things from her master’s hand. She didn’t show any etiquette or grace, making Luo Xue both disdainful and annoyed.

Her disdain was toward Cai Wei’s crude actions, and her frustration was due to their master’s indulgence and tolerance.

Their master always valued etiquette, allowing not a single error in his presence. Yet, he tolerated her utterly bottomless rudeness, overlooked her wildness, and smiled tenderly as though he was looking at the most beautiful scene in the world. His eyes were full of indulgence. That scene was nothing but an eyesore to Luo Xue.

If Miss Mu was a well-educated noblewoman, Luo Xue would have accepted it. But why should a rustic girl, lacking etiquette entirely, win their master’s favor? Other than her innate beauty, was there any aspect in which she surpassed Luo Xue?

Indeed, men were naturally attracted to beauty. The master had never cared for the noble girls in the Capital, refusing to let women approach him. It turned out they were not beautiful enough for his taste.

Thinking about this, Luo Xue looked at Cai Wei’s pretty face, hatred growing in her heart. The demoness sure knew how to charm her master with her beauty. She had to inform the Empress to punish her severely!

Cai Wei inspected the gun carefully. After confirming it was well assembled, she complimented the man’s ingenious craftsmanship: "Hehe, I didn’t expect you to be so skillful, managing to assemble all these parts. You’ve genuinely outdone yourself."

Hearing her praise, the smile on Nangong Yi’s face broadened. He lazily replied, "I’m flattered. It’s rare for my skill to impress Wei’er. I am humbled by your praise."

Cai Wei didn’t have time to indulge his teasing. She kept checking the gun, measuring it, and feeling its fit in her hands. Suddenly, she asked, "Where are the bullets?."

Nangong Yi smiled softly, unfastened a pouch from his waist, and handed it over. Cai Wei held the substantial pouch, weighed it in her hand, heard the clink inside, undid the pouch, and poured out its content.

With a "clatter", a pile of bullets the size of peanuts scattered onto the tea table. Overjoyed, Cai Wei hurriedly loaded a bullet into the gun, lifted it up, aimed—

"Bang—"

After the sound, the phoenix amidst the flock of birds on the screen was suddenly turned into a blind phoenix.

"It fits perfectly!"

She laughed and said, "It would be even better if you could find me some black powder."
