Chapter 891: Chapter 221: Miss Yan Trains the Bear [Extra Chapter for Little Black Alliance Hierarch]
"Ah, how could I dare."
Fang Che chuckled wryly, "With the stature of Eldest Lady Yan, even if she stretched out her neck for me to chop, I wouldn’t dare."
Yan Beihan asked, "Why?"
"Eldest Lady Yan is deeply favored by Vice Sect Master Yan, she is the Bright Pearl of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect. As the saying goes, a dragon has reverse scales, touch them and incur wrath. And certainly, Eldest Lady Yan is Vice Sect Master Yan’s reverse scale. Once angered, it would lead to great calamity. Wouldn’t all the blame fall on me?"
Fang Che spread his hands with a wry smile, "So, if you want to kill Eldest Lady Yan, there’s only one way - to slay her in a frontal battle on the battlefield. Otherwise... the Thunderous wrath of Vice Sect Master Yan, I cannot bear. I cannot shoulder the blame and consequences of such destruction."
Yan Beihan gave a charming smile, "Is this really the reason?"
Fang Che sighed, "Could there be another reason? To be honest, we’re always thinking of nipping Eldest Lady Yan, such a genius, in the bud before she fully blooms."
Yan Beihan smiled faintly.
He didn’t confirm or deny his words.
And didn’t get angry!
"Where are you planning to go next?" Fang Che asked.
Yan Beihan laughed with amusement, "Are you trying to chase me away?"
"Now that the crisis is over, this world is full of mystery waiting for us to explore."
Fang Che replied evenly, "Moreover, our positions are so different. We wouldn’t work together. I dare not kill Eldest Lady Yan, yet I worry that she might kill me... separating early is better for both."
Yan Beihan’s eyes turned prudent, contemplating deeply, "Hm? You’re trying to get rid of me so quickly? Do you have another agenda?"
Fang Che was startled, "What agenda could I have?"
Yan Beihan squinted, speaking coolly, "Fang Che, there must be a reason you’re being hunted by so many snakes. Perhaps you’ve obtained something or are about to do something important. Either way, the urgency implies there’s significant benefit to chasing me away!"
She smiled teasingly at Fang Che, "Are you afraid I’ll... share your benefits?"
"No!" Fang Che immediately denied.
"Taking your opportunity?" Yan Beihan stepped forward, asking again.
"Definitely not!"
Fang Che denied even quicker.
"Oh, such quick denial. If not guilty, what is it?"
Yan Beihan snorted, "Since that’s the case, I’m not leaving!" Finally finding a reason to stay.
Watching this guy pretend every day is like watching a grand show.
Fang Che was secretly happy.
It seemed to indeed ignite suspicion in this girl, causing her to stay. It worked out well you’re not leaving!
Even so, he showed reluctance on his face, "Eldest Lady Yan, you and I have differing positions. Besides, being alone together, it’s not convenient for a lady’s reputation."
Yan Beihan replied indifferently, "Even a young lady as myself is not afraid, yet Steward Fang has so many concerns."
Fang Che spoke earnestly, "Eldest Lady Yan, Wei Wo Zheng Sect also needs you to obtain resources. Being with me, there are many inconveniences."
Yan Beihan’s mesmerizing eyes fixated on his face, gaze clear and cold, speaking gently, "Could you stop the act?"
"??"
Fang Che was dumbfounded.
"You clearly want me to stay," Yan Beihan said, "Why pretend?"
She seemed to want to say something else, but changed her words at the last moment.
Yet this sentence carried its own massive impact.
"Hahahaha..."
Fang Che laughed, "Eldest Lady Yan, since you’ve realized it, you still want to stay?"
"Of course." Yan Beihan declared proudly, "I, as the Miss, want to see what’s in your gourd."
"Since you’re staying, don’t regret it later." Fang Che chuckled.
Yan Beihan smiled faintly, showing disdain, "In this world, I, Yan Beihan, haven’t seen anything capable of making me regret."
Fang Che felt reassured.
Since you’re not afraid to die, I can ease up. Stay and help me fend off some pressure.
Yan Beihan stood with arms behind her, gazing at the distant mountain peak.
Then she heard Fang Che behind her saying, "Whimper... Snuffle snuffle..."
Yan Beihan almost burst out laughing.
This Fang Che actually made such sounds? It’s simply... Upon turning around, she widened her eyes, excitedly shouting, "What a beautiful Little Bear!"
The little guy peeked its head from Fang Che’s embrace, sneakily looking outside, eyes rolling around, with a tuft of white hair fluttering on its forehead...
Seeing it’s safe, it used its four limbs all at once, tumbling down from Fang Che like a meatball.
Sitting down on its bottom, its eyes instantly went blank.
The little guy, with its nutrition intake and body refined by the Infinite Scripture, had become adorably charming to an extreme.
Round and chubby, yet its big eyes glistened with innocent curiosity and confusion.
Its hair was soft and clean.
Anyone would want to embrace and cuddle upon seeing it.
Yan Beihan’s attention was indeed drawn.
Once the Little Bear noticed a stranger, it immediately became scared, squealing and clinging on to Fang Che’s leg, climbing up using its hands and feet, wanting to hide in his embrace.
But Yan Beihan was already exclaiming with excitement, "What’s this?"
Fang Che replied with confusion, "It’s a Bear, didn’t you just recognize?"
"I’m asking, what kind of Bear is this? Where did it come from?"
Yan Beihan mildly angry, "I’ve seen many Bears, but never one as beautiful and cute."
"Beautiful and cute?"
Fang Che looked down at the troublesome source, only seeing a bluff creature, with eyes glinting with clear foolishness, utterly failing to see any ’beauty or cuteness’.
"I don’t see any cuteness or charm in it. It’s a real nuisance. Who knows how much trouble this little guy will bring when it’s with me."
Fang Che spoke with double meanings.
Yan Beihan had no idea there were so many issues involved, but he was eager: "If you don’t want it, why not give it to me?"
Thinking about being stuck in this space for ten years, having this cute little companion around seemed nice.
Fang Che was generous: "Take it, take it away!"
To Fang Che’s surprise, someone actually wanted to take on this super trouble, and he readily agreed.
"Whimper, whimper... sob, sob..."
Little Bear was anxious.
It clung tightly to Fang Che’s pant leg and refused to let go.
Its big eyes were filled with tears, and its mouth was wide open, beginning to cry.
It twisted its small body in protest.
"It can actually understand words?" Yan Beihan was even more delighted: "Already showing human-like traits?"
Wow, it’s truly a treasure!
He loved it.
Couldn’t help but squat down to play with it.
Little Bear held onto Fang Che’s calf tightly, with its rear facing Yan Beihan, without even looking back.
"What does it eat?" Yan Beihan thought to lure it with food.
"Fish, honey, probably eats other things too."
Fang Che said.
"Then I’ll go catch some fish for it." Yan Beihan was about to head off.
"I have some here." Fang Che threw out a pile of fish.
Little Bear excitedly turned to pounce on them, but Yan Beihan, quick as lightning, collected all of Fang Che’s thrown fish into his space ring.
Little Bear’s pounce missed, and it looked tearfully and pitifully at Yan Beihan, then turned its almost nonexistent neck to look back at Fang Che.
Yan Beihan smugly said: "Come over here and I’ll give you fish to eat."
Little Bear spread its hands, hesitantly turned to look around, and then decisively shook its head, continuing to cling to Fang Che’s calf.
Thus, Yan Beihan began what would be a long-term ’taming Little Bear’ battle.
Fang Che watched on the side, feeling infinitely peculiar inside.
Because...
Yan Beihan didn’t seem to be very wary of him now.
While there was some vigilance, it wasn’t strong.
Logically, this shouldn’t be the case!
Where did things go wrong?
But now wasn’t the time to ponder this; the priority was to quickly prepare for the next wave of snakes.
Seeing Fang Che start chopping wood and cutting grass diligently like a lumberjack, Yan Beihan assumed Fang Che wanted to build a house and quickly said: "Steward Fang, work hard and build me one too."
"Why should I?"
Fang Che turned, rolling his eyes: "We’re enemies, okay!"
Yan Beihan chuckled: "Enemies can help each other too. I help you take care of your pet, you help me build a house. It’s only right."
Fang Che was at a loss for words.
"Eldest Lady Yan, how do you even say such things? First, you’re purely playing. Second, you’re not just playing; you’re abducting my pet. To call this helping me requires true audacity."
Yan Beihan continued teasing Little Bear, asking: "What’s Little Bear’s name? Have you named it yet?"
Really shifting topics like that—are you not even trying to hide your intention to steal my bear?
Fang Che hesitated for a moment, then dejectedly said: "Then share a set of your bedding and tent with me."
These Yan Beihan had in surplus, so he readily agreed: "Sure, no problem."
He pulled a set out of his space ring and threw it to Fang Che.
Then took Little Bear to play.
Little Bear looked back every few steps, but being carried by the neck, it couldn’t resist, and it had fish to eat if it went along...
Yan Beihan played while listening with a cheerful ear.
All he heard was Fang Che, working away and complaining: "I’m a dignified Guardian... building a house for you, Witch, what are you thinking..."
Yan Beihan nearly laughed out loud.
Well, fine, you’re a Guardian, isn’t that right? The esteemed Lord Night Demon!
Teasing Little Bear, only feeding it half-full.
When it was more uncomfortable, he set conditions: "I know you understand. If you let me hug you, I’ll give you fish. If not, you’ll go hungry."
"Listen to commands, and you’ll get fish."
"Perform actions, and you’ll get fish..."
"You..."
Got to say, Eldest Lady Yan’s beast-taming skills were ten thousand times stronger than Fang Che’s.
Fang Che was still chopping wood and sun-drying grass, not even halfway through his work. Meanwhile, Little Bear had already learned to stand, sit, somersault, walk ropes, bow, and do all sorts of tricks.
Sat bare-bottomed on a stool, all properly.
Yan Beihan laughed till his sides split, her laughter echoing far and wide.
The more Fang Che worked, the more irritable he became.
Goodness! This woman really isn’t treating me as an outsider, is she?
I’m your enemy, damn it!
