Porter of Two Worlds

Chapter 55: Xiao Mao’s Request

“Ah, Brother Lan, you are awake. Allow me to serve you my admiration for your capacity for liquor. You are a true man, a real master!”

Bai Yang quickly walked toward Lan Xing with his thumbs up.

Bai Yang could swear to God that he wasn’t lying this time. That was a whole earthen jar of the Hundred Fruits Wine that was at least 20 liters and she finished it all on her own!

Although the Hundred Fruits Wine’s alcohol content wasn’t that high, the volume she drank was incredible. She really was something to be able to finish it all on her own.

However, taking into consideration the general physiques of the people of this world, it was still somewhat within the acceptable range.

But she is a girl! A girl! Who’d dare to marry her? I really don’t know, but at least I don’t dare to. What if she got drunk and went on a rampage. No one in the family would be able to stop her mad power. Xiao Mao is still the best, she is so gentle and obedient…

“Oh my, I’ve outdrank my own capability and put myself to shame. Forgive me for that, Brother Bai.” Rays flashed in Lan Xing’s eyes as she shook and said.

Although she has been trying to hide her expressions, Bai Yang saw through her covers almost instantly and noticed her quietly heaved a breath of relaxation.

Women, you all are the same. The first thing you all do after waking up from drunkenness in an unfamiliar place is to check your body condition to see if anyone has taken advantage of you. If that’s what you care about, then why do you drink in the first place?

Bai Yang roasted her in his heart but at the same time, he couldn’t help but admire her drinking capability. She drank so much and was still able to turn sober just seconds after waking up from her drunken stupor. He wondered if it was because of her own drinking capability or it was just generally the uncanny body constitution of the people of this world.

“Please, don’t be. I’m the one who should feel ashamed for not being able to drink. How I wish I am able to have a toast with Brother Lan.” Bai Yang said regretfully.

“Oh gosh, it’s getting late now. It’s time for me to take my leave. I’ll be back to visit another day.”

Lan Xing looked up at the sky and noticed the time. Nervousness flashed in his eyes and she quickly said. Then, she grabbed on the short sword on the table and leaped a dozen meters high up into the sky and landed on the trees. She was faster and more agile than a monkey living in the woods and disappeared from Bai Yang’s vision in just seconds.

“…”

“I haven’t said anything yet…”

Bai Yang stared blankly at the direction of her disappearance and murmured.

At one second we were talking about drinking and in the next second, you just left like that? What the heck?

But this was exactly just how shitty life could be, wasn’t it? All things in life would never actually work just how we visualized they would be. Thus, there were always countless sayings that state that life was full of uncertainties, no one would know exactly what would happen in the next second.

But this showed to Bai Yang that Lan Xing wasn’t a reliable figure after all. She had no plan or anything like that and only acted upon whatever thought crossed her mind. If he were to use a term on Earth to describe her, he’d chose the word ‘nutjob’.

A leap that is a dozen meters high? Even the Olympic high jump champions would shit their pants to compete with her! So this is what a martial artist with Blood Qi is capable of doing?

No one could get just how shocked Bai Yang was. Even though he had been shocked all the time by the culture and things here in this world, even growing numb and getting used to it already, he still felt unreal deep down in his heart.

Did she forget it intentionally or she really can’t remember? I was just about to discuss with her about the trading business with the resources of the villagers in the Lost Forest. God knows when is the ‘another day’ that you’d come to visit. Please don’t be too late.

Bai Yang helplessly lied on the table and sighed.

It’s too late to do anything now, she is already gone.

Didn’t you say your Lan Family wants to interfere with Che Family’s business with the Lost Forest’s villagers? Is it that hard to start talking about it and seal the deal first before you go? Don’t you know how pressured we are to face the Che Family?

“Master.” Xiao Mao walked to the Bai Yang’s side and said softly.

“What’s up, Xiao Mao?” Bai Yang looked up and asked.

Xiao Mao’s eyes squinted into crescents, showing her cute little tiger teeth, and said with a bit cunning and proud, “Young master, that Brother Lan is a lady.”

“Ho? You noticed?” Bai Yang was surprised. How did Xiao Mao notice it?

“Yes, her body is so petite, she doesn’t look like a man at all. I saw through her disguise with just a look. Young master, she still looked pretty even when she is disguising as a man, her true self must be incredibly beautiful.”

“And?” Bai Yang winked his eyes as he finds himself unable to get Xiao Mao’s point.

“Young master, should you consider marrying her? She is beautiful and comes from a strong background. She is worthy of being your wife.” Xiao Mao tilted her head and said to Bai Yang while smiling happily.

“What??” Bai Yang was stunned. Are all girls’ thoughts so illogical?

“I’ve secretly observed from the side. Her skin is really good, it’s going to be a nice sensation for young master to touch. And her butt is in really good shape, they say a butt like that is a good butt. Oh and, although she has wrapped her chest up with a cloth, Xiao Mao can tell her chest is plump and she’d have enough breast milk for your children.”

Xiao Mao’s eyes were huge and wide, blinking in starry lights as she said.

When did you observe all about these? How come I didn’t realize?

“Wait, wait, no, stop. Xiao Mao, I don’t get it. You said she is beautiful and you think I should marry her?” Bai Yang pulled on his hair in bewilderment.

“Yeah.” Xiao Mao answered as if it was only proper and to be expected as a matter of course.

What kind of logic is this…

With his mouth agape and a pair of blanked eyes, Bai Yang asked, “Then what about you?”

“Of course I’m going to continue to be your maidservant by your side. Oh, young master, can Xiao Mao make a request, please?”

“What’s that?” Bai Yang couldn’t even get his thoughts recollected back in time and he replied unconsciously.

“Can young master not get rid of Xiao Mao or give Xiao Mao out to anyone else or sell Xiao Mao away…?” Xiao Mao’s voice gradually turned softer and slower when she carefully pleaded her request to Bai Yang.

Truth was, she really was pleading!

Shaking his head violently, Bai Yang walked up to Xiao Mao and caressed her head. He said in a solemn tone, “Just what are you thinking about all day long? You are mine and mine alone and you will be for the rest of your life. No one can take you away from me, remember this, alright?”

Xiao Mao tilted her head to the side and the brightest smile radiated across her face, squinting her eyes into crescents and showing her cute little tiger tooth. She sure did look like a cute little cat.

“Alright, young master. Then, are you going to marry the young lady Lan?”

“What’s all this nonsense. Don’t think too much about it anymore.” Bai Yang knocked on Xiao Mao’s head and said.

“Oo. Young master, are you hungry? I’d go make you some food.” Xiao Mao smiled, turned, and left like a gush of wind. Her ponytail was swinging around as she hopped away happily.

The villagers around see that the situation has deescalated, they then got back together again to their discussion on the martial art scripture that was destined to be unfruitful from the start.

Bai Yang scratched on his head, frowned for some time and finally, smiled to himself quietly…

What a strange and eventful day. The day started in the morning with the encounter with a bizarre-looking ox, followed by beheading an enemy, and the meeting with a crazy young lady.

It was at this moment that clamors could be heard from the main entrance of the village. Bai Yang turned around and saw the old village chief’s return.

Other than the villagers he had led away, there was no one else that followed them back. Bai Yang’s heart skipped a beat and thought, Did it not work?

“Chief Grandpa, how did it go?” He quickly stepped forward and asked.

After all, the matter itself would directly decide the fate of the Gedo Village, Bai Yang couldn’t not pay any attention to it.

Unknowingly, he already considered himself as part of the village.

“It’s all in place. Little Brother Bai, I’ve visited more than 20 villages and discussed with their chiefs. They have all agreed that if what you say is true, that their resources can be exchanged with weapons and armories, they are more than willing to even when that means falling foul with the Che Family. After all, the business with the Che Family has been unfair since the beginning but we only continued because we had no other choice. Now that we have better options, of course we will take it. Even when doing so will make us enemies with the Che Family, but we are brave warriors that fight even nature in order to survive, we are not afraid of the Che Family.”

The old chief was stroking on his snow-white beard and laughed loudly.

“Good, good.” Bai Yang heaved a breath of relief.

“However, they are not convinced still without being able to see it for themselves. In another few days, they will be coming to visit the village. Once they have verified everything, they will pass on the message to the other villages and the Lost Forest will entirely cut our trades with the Che Family!”

The old chief then released yet another impactful news.

Bai Yang nodded happily and thought, This will be impactful enough to throw the Che Family into a sudden coma. It’s a deadly blow to the Che Family once the villages stopped trading their resources with them.

But at the same time, this would mean declaring war against the Che Family by the villages. No one would be able to predict what would come next.

“I understand.” Bai Yang said. It’s time he sped up the progress on his side, or it wouldn’t end well if he couldn’t provide the promised goods when the representatives of the other villages arrived in the village.
