The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 2070_End - 2070: Little Witch of the Pugilistic World
Previously on The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich...
Beneath the canopy of a tree, the Wolf King kept a tight hold on two rabbits, his jaws dripping with drool. He unleashed several low whimpers at the pair, causing the tiny creatures to tremble in sheer terror.
They could not fathom why their captor refrained from devouring them immediately, choosing instead to toy with them incessantly.
Descending from the branches, Lin Nianlan cast a brief look at the bunnies shaking in their boots. She commanded, “Set them free. Let us be off!”
Upon hearing her voice, the Wolf King reluctantly released his prey, showing complete obedience.
Lin Nianlan climbed atop her donkey, the noble Wolf King pacing alongside her. She paused by the path, scanning her surroundings with a casual air.
Moments later, a large contingent of men emerged on the road.
“Big Brother, look! It is her!” The Third Master pointed excitedly at Lin Nianlan standing by the wayside, declaring, “Tell me, is she not as lovely as a goddess?!”
“Indeed, she is breathtaking! Like a celestial being who has stepped down to the mortal realm.”
“I have truly never laid eyes on a woman this radiant.”
As the men broke out into a clamor over her beauty, their leader, the chieftain of Blackwood Stronghold known as Xu Sanfeng, was fixed on her mount—a simple little donkey!
With a small donkey beneath her and clad in fresh, yellow-green robes, she held a jade flute delicately in her hand.
This was the fabled…
A cold sweat instantly drenched Xu Sanfeng’s forehead, his heart gripped by shock.
Hearing his underlings whispering about seizing this slip of a girl for a hostage, he roared, “Silence!”
The men were baffled by their leader’s sudden outburst. After all, wasn't finding such a beautiful woman worth celebrating?
However, the Chieftain seemed far from pleased.
The Third Master ventured a cautious question: “Big Brother, what is wrong?”
Stifling his irritation, Xu Sanfeng hissed, “Open your eyes and observe. Who, precisely, do you think this girl is? Do you really believe a common girl would dare venture into this wild, desolate place alone?”
The others had been so preoccupied with the girl’s grace that they ignored why she stood there unescorted—and entirely unharmed.
“Observe her mount!” Xu Sanfeng demanded.
At his insistence, the men finally turned their attention toward her beast of burden.
“A donkey?!”
“Is that truly a donkey?”
“A tiny one at that!”
“She is wearing green!”
“And holding an emerald flute!”
“Great heavens, it is the legendary Little Witch!”
“The one known for her mastery of poison, medicine, and martial arts! The girl who shakes both ghosts and gods with her presence—Lin Nianlan!”
“Run!”
“Big Brother, is that why she is called the little devil? Rumor has it she is a heartless demon who sheds blood without a flicker of remorse. Let us flee!”
Xu Sanfeng wore a bitter smile and muttered, “I fear escape is off the table.”
“Why?” the Third Master queried in confusion.
“You will discover the answer quite soon.”
No sooner had the words left Xu Sanfeng’s lips than the chilling howl of wolves echoed through the air.
In an instant, they were surrounded by a predatory pack.
As the men of Blackwood Stronghold caught sight of the wolves closing in, their legs began to buckle from fear.
“How… how could there be so many?” one stammered.
At that moment, the young girl rode her donkey toward them, beaming at Xu Sanfeng. “Are you the one in charge here?”
Xu Sanfeng bobbed his head. “I am.”
“How fortunate that you are such a sharp man,” Lin Nianlan said with a grin. “Since you have such a keen mind, you have two paths. First, your subordinates shall serve as my slaves, and you may depart. Second, you shall become my slave, and they may go free!”
The men stared, paralyzed by terror. Truly, she lived up to the title of Little Witch within the pugilistic world; her first instinct upon arriving was to claim people as servants.
Xu Sanfeng gave a wry smile. “Is there really even a choice here? I select the second option.”
“Big Brother!” the others cried in protest, devastated at the thought of living as thralls.
“Younger sister…” A refined, affectionate voice drifted toward them. “Whatever are you up to?”
The trio turned to see a tall, noble youth in pristine white robes riding a massive white tiger toward them.
Jiang Junhan approached and remarked, “Mother’s birthday draws near. When do you intend to head home?”
Lin Nianlan replied, “Brother, I am curating a birthday gift for Mother!” She gestured toward the chieftain. “It is him.”
“A man?” Jiang Junhan raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. “Sister, have you no fear that Father will break your legs for offering a man to Mother?”
“I have you to protect me, brother.” Lin Nianlan batted her eyelashes. “You do not wish for Mother to be tethered to Father all day, do you? With this man serving as an eyesore, Father should be perpetually fuming!”
They say a daughter is the apple of a father’s eye, but clearly, this one was determined to trick her own father!
“With Uncle Yichen around, Father is already beside himself every single day!”
Their voices faded into the distance as they departed.
Xu Sanfeng’s men were left in a daze, processing the mention of Uncle Yichen.
“They… they must be the children of Princess Lin Yuelan and General Jiang Zhennan!”
“Slave, hurry and keep pace!” Lin Nianlan’s voice rang out again. “Xiao Hui, do not follow. Remain the Wolf King. I shall return to play when I find the time!”
Xiao Hui, the beast, never imagined the Little Witch would return after vanishing for days. Having endured the indignity of being a pet, it was on the verge of madness.
Just as it prepared to flee with its pack, the light voice called out once more, “Xiao Hui, return to being my pet!”
The animals halted their escape, sighing in secret relief. The Wolf King, however, trotted to the girl’s side in total defeat. The forest floor was once again thrown into disarray!
