Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 75.2

"Oh? I didn't know it's young Mr. Zhu's intention to become a permanent guest at our place?" said Cheng Xiao Xiao with a complicated look.

Zhu Xiangyu chuckled without care and said, "Becoming a permanent guest wouldn't be bad. I quite like the newly constructed courtyards. I just hope you won't kick me out!"

"Young Mr. Zhu is so funny!"

Cheng Xiao Xiao shrugged; she didn't believe a word he said, "Say, you invited me out, what is it that you wanted to discuss?"

"Xiao Xiao, why are you still referring to me as 'mister'? That sounds so distant and it hurts my ears. You can call me Xiangyu. Or, since I am older than you, 'Xiangyu ge' or 'Yu gege' will also work!"

They stopped walked and Cheng Xiao Xiao looked straight at him. Their eyes met and neither one of them spoke, just stared straight at each other.

After a while, Cheng Xiao Xiao finally looked away and continued to walk into the bamboo forest as she said, "Since this is young Mr. Zhu's request, I shall start calling Mr. Zhu Xiangyu!"

For some odd reasons that she couldn't quite put her fingers on, she had an unexplainable feeling toward this sole successor of Green Mountain Manor. She didn't sense any maliciousness from him; but an odd feeling nonetheless that made her put her guards up.

She simply couldn't accept this person wholeheartedly.

"Sure, as long as Xiao Xiao is willing, you can call me whatever you like!" said Zhu Xiangyu with a full smile.

Upon entering the bamboo forest, the crisp and fresh smell of the bamboo filled their heart; both of them looked to be relaxed and comfortable.

"What a wonderful place; even my places doesn't have a location with this kind of mystical qi. I am both liking this and jealous at the same time..."

Zhu Xiangyu sighed and continued, "It's so nice to have mystical water; you can transform anything you want to!"

"If I remember correctly, hasn't young lord yourself purchased several dozes cubic liter of mystical water? If that's what you want, that should be do-able!" said Cheng Xiao Xiao nonchalantly as she leaned against a bamboo.

"Xiao Xiao, you must be kidding. We can't afford that kind of luxury. You have us confused with yourself, having an unlimited supply mystical water to do with as you please. You use mystical water to water the bamboo forest; you use it to raise your farm animals; you use it as regular drinking water; you use it to keep your fish. You use it for just about anything and everything..."

He paused and shook his head at this point, "As far as I could tell, you are the only family at Dafeng who could afford this kind of luxury. Not even the royals were able to do that."

"So what you are telling me is that there are others in other country who could afford it as well?" asked Cheng Xiao Xiao with her brows raised.

Zhu Xiangyu smiled with his lips closed; his bright eyes looked steadily at her and he said, "As far as I know, only the four top powers were able to afford this kind of luxury!"

"Oh? With your family wealth, I'd imagine you can buy your own mystical well!"

"Xiao Xiao, this is not something you can buy with money. Unless you are suggesting that you will sell us the entire mystical well?" Zhu Xiangyu pretended to be surprised.

"Oh...." Seeing him like that, Cheng Xiao Xiao played along with him and said, "If you can take the mystical well with you somehow, sure, we will sell it to you. As for this place, well, now the entire Qing'An belonged to us. We won't dare to sell it even if we want to!"

"Ergo, this is a problem without a solution!"

Zhu Xiangyu fished out a fan and started waving it back and forth. With curiosity, he asked, "Speaking of, Xiao Xiao, I am a little curious. You want all kinds of plants and animals, and all of different species and varieties. What are they for? Are you planning on growing and raising all of them?"

"I am a village girl, of course I need to farm. And in order to farm, we need the seeds, can't young Mister Zhu Xiangyu tell?"

Her answer made the fan in his hand stopped in its action. After a short pause, he recovered quickly and smiled, "Xiao Xiao is the most beautiful village girl!"

"You are too nice!" Cheng Xiao Xiao looked straight at him again and asked, "Is there any other question that I can answer for young Mister Zhu Xiangyu? If you miss this opportunity, next time you want to ask any questions, I am going to charge you mystical stones!" Cheng Xiao Xiao had no intention to waste more time with this master of words, so she asked him directly.

"Ho ho ho, I have always heard that Xiao Xiao likes her mystical stones. Too bad I don't have a lot of them; otherwise, I will for sure give some to Xiao Xiao as toys!"

"......"

Her expression remained the same and she looked straight at him. Zhu Xiangyu saw that she wasn't joking and was taken aback a little but returned quickly to his usual gentle self. He then asked, "Since Xiao Xiao said so, I am going to unleash my curiosity. Xiao Xiao, your family dug up that mystical well of yours?"

"Yes!" Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and gave him an one-word response, not an extra word.

Zhu Xiangyu paused for a second, raised his brows, and asked again, "Xiao Xiao is a beast tamer, please tell me if you have a trainer?"

"No!"

Another one-word answer!

"What exactly is Xiao Xiao's weapon? A fan? Or a cane?"

"Both!"

Another one-word answer. Zhu Xiangyu could no longer maintain that smile of his. Secretly he drew in a breath and asked directly, "Xiao Xiao, where did all the Cheng's mystical beasts came from?"

"The mountains!"

"Does the Cheng have any relations with the four top powers?"

"No!"

"The Cheng's....."

"....."

What he should asked, what he shouldn't asked, he had asked them all. Even if he knew full well that he wouldn't get an answer from them, he asked them anyway. These were questions that had occurred to everyone, but wanting to get an answer from any of the Cheng's was an impossible task.

Zhu Xiangyu had took this opportunity to asked all of his questions; but the answers from Cheng Xiao Xiao was none other than frustrating.

He had more questions about the Cheng's than he had started; nor could he tell whether those answer given by Cheng Xiao Xiao was true or not. He was not able to tell.

He had been hanging around the Cheng's for over half a month. One could even say he was surveiling the Cheng's. Yet he failed to notice anything out of the ordinary. With the exception of the mystical well, he hadn't notice anything out of the norm, let it be items or people.

Looking at the now quiet gentleman, Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, "Any other questions I can answer for you, Mr. Zhu Xiangyu?"

"...." Looking at the one in front of him with a complicated look, he shook his head.

What was the point of asking more questions?

She wasn't going to tell him anything; nobody would give up one's secret so easily!

If he really wanted to find out the secret of the Cheng's, then he should....

Thinking about this, a shadow casted in his eyes. Another bright smile on his handsome face and he said, "Does Xiao Xiao like going out for fun? I know a few fun places. Should we make some plans to go visit them together?"

"No need. I don't plan on going on another trip anytime soon!"

Cheng Xiao Xiao had returned to her cold self and said nonchalantly, "If young Mr. Zhu Xiangyu has no other needs for me, I shall excuse myself. You can leave whenever you are ready. You don't need to hang out at the Cheng's anymore. And there aren't much at the Cheng's that need you to guard."
