Chapter 84: The Little Rascal's Fight

"Pick it up!" Ning Hanmo looked at Kang Zhi Xia, his voice low.

Seeing Kang Wen and Kang Wu's actions, Kang Zhi Xia became even angrier; they were Kang Clan members, yet the two brothers actually stood on the outsiders' side.

He stepped directly on it with his boot, crushing the bug-catching chopsticks, "Are you deaf? Can't you understand? I'm not doing this."

Ning Hanmo went up and kicked him; when Kang Zhi Xia didn't react, he plopped down on his butt.

After he reacted, his eyes turned red, he lunged forward, "You dare hit me! I'll kill you, young master!"

Kang Zhi Xia is eight, two years older than Ning Hanmo, but Ning Hanmo's recent training has greatly improved his strength, technique, and dexterity.

For a moment, they exchanged blows back and forth.

Until...

Jiang Yun Chu heard the commotion and came over, seeing the two kids separating and rejoining, up and down, swaying, one gaining the upper hand then the other.

"Dean." Kang Zhi Chun was a little afraid, just about to speak.

Jiang Yun Chu reached out and stopped her from speaking.

"What are you pulling back for? Step aside and let them fight."

"If we don't beat their heads into dog heads today, you two don't stop."

The reason, she doesn't need to know; the process, she doesn't want to know; a youth's impulse can only be settled with fists.

Settling it once and for all might not be a bad thing.

Kang Ziwei pulled Kang Zhi Chun, Kang Nai Xin pulled Kang Zhiqiu, and the four girls obediently stepped back.

Kang Wen and Ning Qiancheng, who had just been breaking up the fight, also resignedly stepped back.

As for Kang Wu...

He never lifted a hand the whole time.

Hey, can't beat them to death, might as well just fight—who could be as tough as you?

At this moment he was just short of humming a little tune and eating snacks; to those who didn't know, he looked like a big boss of Jingdu.

Even seeing it, Jiang Yun Chu felt it was hard to watch.

The two boys fought with fury, punch for punch, one tripping the other, the other jabbing an elbow.

Until...

Two quarter-hours passed...

"Keep fighting, I haven't had enough yet." Jiang Yun Chu shoved the pastry into her mouth and took a sip of tea.

Just seeing Kang Wu's posture gave her inspiration; right away she had someone bring pastries and tea.

"I can't fight anymore." Ning Hanmo was honest and spoke up directly.

If they kept fighting, they'd have to start biting...

Imagining that scene, they both shuddered at the same time; forget it, let's leave it as is.

"And you?" Jiang Yun Chu glanced at Kang Zhi Xia.

This kid, he's actually got a worse temper than Kang Wen and Kang Wu.

"Hmph!"

Kang Zhi Xia turned away without answering.

"Ning Hanmo, tell me what's going on." Jiang Yun Chu didn't bother with pleasantries, turning straight to Ning Hanmo.

"We were working to catch bugs, I told him to catch bugs, he refused, and even snapped the chopsticks I'd whittled for bug-catching."

"Really?" Jiang Yun Chu looked at the people around.

Kang Wen and Kang Wu nodded; although he's their brother, Ning Hanmo is also their classmate, they were impartial and hid nothing.

"Bai Zhi!" Jiang Yun Chu shouted.

"Here I come~"

Bai Zhi was quite skilled at this task; before, with the two kids, a simple tie at the back of the collar would hold it up, but this one isn't so easy to hang since there's nothing to fix it to!

But...

When she arrived, she directly took two strips of cloth in her hand.

"What are you doing? Don't come over!"

Kang Zhi Xia looked at Bai Zhi's smiling face and felt something was wrong.

Just...

He's an eight-year-old lazy boy; even if he could run, could he outrun the daily-trained Bai Zhi who has lightness skills?

"Don't come over—if you do, I'll call for help!" Kang Zhi Xia widened his eyes; the rumors were true after all!

Bai Zhi laughed cheerfully; from the start her expression hadn't changed, looking at Kang Zhi Xia she said, "Go ahead and call!"

"Call loudly!"

"Shout till your throat's raw, see if anyone cares for you!"

With each word, she drew closer; Kang Zhi Xia, already exhausted from the fight and lacking strength, his legs gave way and he slumped to the ground.

He struggled with his hands and feet, retreating backward, full of resistance, not hiding anything.

"Don't come over—I'm a child of the Kang Clan."

Kang Wu watched calmly, recalling his own past; though he dared face his history, seeing how miserable he once was, now seeing Brother Zhi Xia made him laugh.

Kang Wen, on the other hand, wasn't so calm; he raised his hands to cover his face, yet couldn't help sneaking a peek, leaving a gap with his little finger—like someone covering their ears while stealing a bell.

"My master is still the Princess Consort!" Bai Zhi snorted coldly, then added, "Do you see me as arrogant?"

Jiang Yun Chu thought, "Is this something I taught?"

"I'm still your master!"

Am I proud?

This mess, where did you learn it?

Finally, Kang Zhi Xia was grabbed by the nape of fate; that just means Bai Zhi wanted to play, otherwise catching her would have been a matter of minutes.

Jiang Yun Chu just watched as Kang Zhi Xia's limbs kept moving, her hands and feet restless.

Bai Zhi was just about to tie his hands up, ……

Just then, Jiang Yun Chu's faint voice came from the side: "No need to tie the hands and feet."

"Yes." Bai Zhi instinctively answered, but she looked somewhat regretfully at the cloth in her hand, prepared to tie his hands—what a waste!

But Jiang Yun Chu's following words sent a chill down the backs of several of the young ones, while Bai Zhi's eyes were full of excitement.

"Go, bring over the sharpened chopsticks for catching bugs, one by one, and skewer them under him."

That plain voice, yet it spoke the cruelest words.

"Got it!"

Bai Zhi's eyes lit up; to speak of this game, it's still the Princess Consort who knows how to play.

Exactly, why should I bother fixing their hands and feet?

This time let him move, see if he still dares to move.

Bai Zhi inserted them one by one; those pointed heads actually aimed at the spot above.

Now Kang Zhi Xia dared not move recklessly; she glanced askance at the bristling heads aimed at her position.

Let alone moving, he himself had to worry whether this cloth was secure enough, whether it would drop him.

The person who had been shouting loudly just now now breathed lightly, fearing that a single heavy breath would snap the cloth with a crack, ending his little life.

Mother, oh mother, quickly look at your son—how did he end up in the hands of these demons?

Jiang Yun Chu looked at the few spectators, a cold intent bursting from her eyes.

"They're fighting, are you innocent?"

"They've started fighting, have you stood by idly?"

"One by one, go catch bugs for me." Jiang Yun Chu shouted coldly.

Kang Wen glanced at the ground full of spikes, having just been gloating over others' misfortune!
