Seemingly remember her old days, the sadness on Mrs. Cheng's face was even more apparent.

"Mom, don't worry!" Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit touched, this mother truly have her best interest in mind. Gently, she said, "Mom, I have said this before. I will choose my own husband, someone that I like. If he dares let my days be difficult, I will simply divorce him!"

Amusing by Cheng Xiao Xiao's words, Mrs. Cheng chuckled. In a playful complaining voice, she said, "That's silly talk! Women don't [initiate] divorce their husband!"

"Sure! Me! If he's not obedient enough, I'll divorce him!"

"You! Who will dare to marry you!"

"Well, if nobody wants to marry me, I don't have to get married. I will just stay home with mom!"

"Hrm, I don't want an old maiden. It'll make me lose face!"

"Ouch, mom, that is hurtful. Are you saying that your face is more important than your precious daughter?"

"Hrm, hrm. Of course my face is more important. If you don't look for a suitable family, I will kick you out of the house!"

"I wouldn't dare, mom. How about this, I don't marry out, I can find a husband to marry in. How's that?"

The two of them chatted and walked toward the house at the same time. After the random conversation, Mrs. Cheng had since changed the conversation and didn't ask about the "business" again.

The day at the Cheng's returned to it's usual quiet and busy state!

On Mount Wanan, Liu Tianshan carried a large bucket of water with him and shouted out loudly as he walked on, "Water! Water for sale! Any one who wants water better come over soon! Two mystical stones for one bottle of mystical water! Better hurry! Last call for mystical water for the day!"

"STOP!"

An angry voice came from the woods. Liu Tianshan stopped on his way and was not upset at all. Looking at the enraged person, he said, "Instructor Mu, would you like some water?"

"Give me a bottle!" said Mu Qingtong through gritted teeth.

"One bottle coming up!" Carrying the bucket of water, Liu Tianshan approached him quickly, calling out as he walked, "Hurry up to get your water! Even Instructor Mu is buying water now! Come quickly, we will stop selling soon!"

"You!"

Veins could be seen bulging up on his forehead. Mu Qingtong stared at him viciuosly, his eyes widened. It looked as though he wanted to eat his flash.

Liu Tianshan paid no attention to the way he was looking at him. After he had filled his water bottle and returned it back to him, he continued to call out, "Come get your mystical water quickly! Last call for mystical water!"

"Okay! Stop shouting! Give me a bottle!"

"The evil Cheng's, charging so much even for the water!"

"If I buy the water now, I won't be able to afford to eat today!"

"Who else has extra mystical stones to loan to me?"

A few unkempt bodies came out from the woods. While they were talking, they all stared angrily at Liu Tianshan. In the last few days, they were about to lose their minds from the way they were treated by the Cheng's. They had to trade for any food!

The worst part of it all was that there were no food, drinks, any accessories in the woods. So they had no choice but to buy from the Cheng's!

Some of them have already used up all everything that they have with them for trading and had to rely on the help of others. How could they not hate the Cheng's? Every time they heard the food or water calls they wanted to beat them to a pulp.

But, they didn't dare. Even though there were a lot of them, but they were still no match for the Cheng's. There were simply nothing they could do.

Even if it's just Liu Tianshan by himself, these students still dare not take any actions. As soon as they move in on him, a group of azure wolves or white tigers would appear behind him!

With these mystical beasts, who dare to touch any of the Cheng's members? That's like having a death wish. So even though they were extremely upset at the Cheng's, they dare not do anything about it.

Liu Tianshan had them all figured out from the last few days of contact with them. It didn't matter how rude they were, they still followed their orders. He pretended he didn't hear their cussing, or see their staring. As his shi mei had said, you don't lose a slice of flash when they cuss at you; nor would you get injured from their stares. Nothing is more important than the mystical stones.

Slowly the mystical water was sold out. Liu Tianshan turned and left. He was only here to do business.

Inside the courtyard of the Cheng's!

"Xiao Xiao, you are reading!" Cheng Biyuan saw his daughter as he was coming in from the outside and said to her.

Cheng Xiao Xiao looked up from the journal that she was reading and put it down. Looking at her father walking inside, she said, "Dad, you looking for me?"

"Nothing specific, just wanted to chat with you. Wait for me for a second, let me go wipe down my face. It's been so uncomfortably hot lately!"

He walked toward the kitchen as he was talking. The maid standing by the kitchen entrance had already gone in to help with getting the water.

After putting down the book in her hand, Cheng Xiao Xiao started preparing a cup of iced tea for her father.

She had only recently figured out how to make iced tea. Especially in weather like this, it'd cool your entire body with a cup of iced team. It was very popular with everyone since the first time she made it.

From the Cheng's situation, they didn't have any ice. But since the dimension gained the ying yang lake, Cheng Xiao Xiao had suggested for little Yuteng to create ice cubes from there. And these iced cubes were so pure they could be eaten directly.

Ever since there were these iced-cubes, Cheng Xiao Xiao finally felt like she was drinking iced water back in the 21st century. This put her in a good mood, which was why she hadn't been going to pick on those up in the mountains.

Soon after, Cheng Biyuan had finished washing up and rejoined Cheng Xiao Xiao. Before he said a word, he took the iced tea that his daughter had poured for him and drank it all up. That wasn't quiet enough so he had three more before he put the tea cup down.

"Dad, do you have something to talk to Xiao Xiao about?" asked Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.

Cheng Biyuan was now completely relaxed. He looked back at his daughter and asked, "Xiao Xiao, the associate dean and his men have been in the mountains for 6 to 7 days already, right?"

"Yeah, today is the 7th day!" nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao, a lit surprised that her father brought them up.

"Seven days!" Cheng Biyuan had a funny look on his face and said, "Xiao Xiao, I think the amount of trees they have cut down should be enough for us. Do you think we should release them about now?"

"Release them?" Cheng Xiao Xiao did not agree right away, but mumbled to herself, "Hmmm, they have less and less stuff on them. Keeping them any longer would be like feeding them, that's not worth it. If there's nothing more we can get from them, we should kick them out!"

"Ahem!"

After hearing her words, Cheng Biyuan turned away, embarrassed. He had heard about his daughter's actions. He wasn't sure what to make of her aggressive stance, but also didn't want to interfere, so he just pretended that he didn't know.

Now that he heard it directly from her, he felt embarrassed by her. That was way too money-grabbing!

"Dad, why are you [fake] coughing. I wasn't doing that for myself. I have my reasons, and they happened to have what we need. So I have to somehow get it from them!" said Cheng Xiao Xiao matter of factly.

Cheng Biyuan couldn't agree with her viewpoint, but he noticed another issue immediately and asked, "Xiao Xiao, what was your reasons? Do you need dad's help?"
