A person should enjoy the blessings of wine, not be enjoyed by it.
Ordinary wine merely numbs the nerves, much like Li Bai's poem: "Drawing my sword to cut water, the water flows more freely; raising my cup to drown my sorrow, my sorrow grows deeper."
To drink true happy wine, which also possesses absolute nourishing elements for the body, only the Happy Wine developed by Cheng Xiaofan suffices.
Cheng Xiaofan leaned against his bed, counting on his fingers. A bottle of their finest wine from foreigners could fetch over forty million. My wine starts at ten million per jin, isn't that starting point too low?
Right, the price should increase!
Prices should only go up, to put pressure on them, to jolt those wooden heads of foreigners!
This is a matter for the future, no need to dwell on it now.
Alright! That's for later.
Ring, ring!
Cheng Xiaofan's phone rang.
Taking out his phone, he saw it was the same unknown number from yesterday.
He frowned slightly, pressed the answer button, and asked lazily, "Who are you, and why are you calling me again?"
Soon, Lu San's chuckling laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Cheng Xiaofan, right? My name is Lu San, and I'm currently on my way to you with our Young Master Long, from Xuecheng in the north."
"We estimate we'll reach your Zhuxi Village tomorrow afternoon!"
"We hope you'll be waiting for us in Zhuxi Village!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said nonchalantly, "I don't know you, why should I listen to you?"
"Why?"
Lu San said, his words laced with hidden barbs, "Heh, because of our strength!"
"Therefore, you must listen to me, there's no other way!"
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but snort with laughter and said slowly, "Lu San, are you threatening me?"
"How ridiculous. No matter how powerful you are, what does it have to do with a humble village farmer like me? Are you going to use force against me and eat me up?"
Lu San on the other end of the phone was stunned. This kid was a real hothead. He clearly heard the threat in my tone, why isn't he scared at all?
"Kid, be serious,"
Lu San's tone turned fierce, "Aren't you going to ask us our purpose in coming to you?"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "I have no interest in you, so there's no need to ask."
Lu San snorted and said, "Even if you're not interested, I'll tell you: please stay away from Miss Bai Yiling."
"Miss Bai Yiling is a beauty our Young Master Long fancied years ago. Anyone who dares to have designs on her is simply courting death!"
"Also, our Young Master Long, through your live broadcast videos, has taken a liking to the Sky-Shattering Eagle and Naughty Sack beside you, as well as those vermilion horses in Bai Mang Lake!"
"If you're smart, when we arrive, you'll obediently present these strange birds and beasts to our Young Master Long!"
"Cheng, did you hear me clearly?"
"I heard clearly,"
This time, Cheng Xiaofan agreed very readily, and with a laugh, he said, "When you all get here, let me slap you a few times first, okay?"
Slap!
Cheng Xiaofan hung up the phone.
Lu San on the other end was utterly bewildered.
This guy wants to slap me a few times?
"Young Master Long, this kid is a bit stubborn!"
He said to Long Xingyun beside him.
Long Xingyun narrowed his eyes and chuckled coldly, "He's stubborn in front of you because he doesn't yet know that there's always someone better. There are people beyond people."
"In front of this young master, even if he's as stubborn as a hungry tiger descending the mountain, I'll turn him into a crippled little kitten!"
"I'll let him know that people from reclusive noble families are not someone a mere farmer can provoke!"
...
Is this all the fault of the live broadcasts?
Cheng Xiaofan looked at his phone, also a bit bewildered.
What kind of people are these? Are they so jealous? They see someone's treasures in a live video and want to snatch them away?
The Taobao Gang was annihilated!
Has another gang even more domineering than the Taobao Gang emerged?
Right!
From the tone of their conversation, their main objective is aimed at Bai Yiling.
Moreover, this Young Master Long knew Bai Yiling long before I did.
But from the tone of the call, it's clear that the so-called Young Master Long fancied Bai Yiling, and Bai Yiling definitely isn't interested in this Long fellow.
Otherwise, why would he directly threaten him to stay away from Bai Yiling?
How funny!
As a Shennong heir, I'm not someone any Tom, Dick, or Harry can scare.
What makes Cheng Xiaofan even more amused is that the Young Master Long also fancies my Sky-Shattering Eagle and Naughty Sack, and even those thirty-six vermilion horses in Bai Mang Lake!
"Hahaha!"
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Was the person who called me just now a complete idiot with no brain?"
After muttering to himself, Cheng Xiaofan dialed Bai Yiling's number: "Yiling, do you know someone called Young Master Long?"
He wanted to understand Long Xingyun's situation through Bai Yiling.
"Xiaofan, how do you know about Young Master Long?" Clearly, Bai Yiling was very shocked to hear the name Young Master Long from Cheng Xiaofan's mouth.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "I just received a call from someone named Lu San who said he and Young Master Long are on their way to me from Xuecheng in the north."
Bai Yiling immediately said, "Xiaofan, where are you now? Let's meet and talk!"
"Alright,"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "I'm in the attic on the back mountain, you can come up!"
After hanging up, Cheng Xiaofan frowned.
From Bai Yiling's tone, he could tell she was very nervous.
Is she very afraid of this so-called Young Master Long?
Not long after, Bai Yiling arrived on her specialized motorcycle.
Cheng Xiaofan stood on the balcony of the attic and waved at her.
Bai Yiling entered the courtyard and climbed up to the attic.
"What did Lu San tell you?" Bai Yiling asked eagerly, taking a sip of the energy water poured by Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Lu San directly threatened me to stay away from you, saying that you are a beauty that Young Master Long fancied, and if I wanted to have designs on you, it would be courting death!"
Bai Yiling's delicate brows furrowed, and she let out a cold laugh, "Shameless!"
Cheng Xiaofan continued, "Lu San also told me that Young Master Long, through my live broadcast videos, has taken a liking to my Sky-Shattering Eagle and Naughty Sack, and even wants those vermilion horses from Bai Mang Lake."
"Yiling, judging by Lu San's tone, he's incredibly arrogant. Who exactly is this Young Master Long?"
Hearing this, Bai Yiling pondered for a moment and said, "This Young Master Long's name is Long Xingyun, and he's from a reclusive noble family in Xuecheng in the north."
"Reclusive noble families refer to ancient martial arts practitioners who hide themselves in the world. They are not only powerful in combat but also possess vast fortunes and immense wealth. Ordinary people would never dare to provoke them!"
"Long Xingyun pursued me several times, but I directly refused him. I didn't expect him to not give up and chase me all the way here!"
"Xiaofan, when they arrive, don't get into a conflict with them. You can't fight them. Let me handle the negotiations with Long Xingyun then."
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Yiling, as my mother's daughter, you are family to me. Since you don't like Long Xingyun, there's no need to bother with him!"
"Let me deal with them, and perhaps give them a bit of healing!"
