Chapter 51

After Liu Dongzhu separated Wang Ping'an from Zhou sister's father, she arrived at her own doorstep and saw a troop of people there; on closer inspection, it was the party of Steward Luo from the Luo family of Qingyang County who had visited them not long ago.

Liu Dongzhu said unexpectedly, "Steward Luo, you coming to us at this time—what business do you have?"

"Madam Wang, I am here, of course, about the marriage matter between our family's miss and your family's young master!"

Steward Luo said warmly.

"Marriage matter?"

Liu Dongzhu was startled; that day, seeing Steward Luo's demeanor and hearing his words, she had thought the marriage between her family's Ping'an and the Luo family's miss was off, but now, judging by Steward Luo's appearance, she realized she was mistaken and said:

"Steward Luo, let's discuss whatever it is inside."

Although.

She wanted to press further; Lord Luo clearly wanted Ping'an to follow that beast's old path, hoping Ping'an would succeed in the imperial examinations, perhaps even become a top scholar, and that was why Lord Luo sought to marry Ping'an.

Otherwise.

They were just ordinary farmers, while the Luo family was one of the richest and most powerful families in Qingyang County; if it weren't for the desire for Ping'an to take the scholarly examination route, how could they possibly consider marrying Ping'an?

Even though Ping'an's father, that beast, is a current top‑three scholar with a brilliant future, that has nothing to do with Ping'an; after all, that beast is already married and will have other children.

How could they possibly care about Ping'an's life or death?

Lord Luo and Ping'an of her family, of course, did not intend to involve Wang Ruhai.

Lord Luo is not foolish; how could he fail to understand Ping'an's situation with Wang Ruhai?

Logically, she has already clearly refused, not intending to let Ping'an retake that beast's old path, so Lord Luo should no longer agree to this marriage.

Why.

still think about marrying?

"Madam Wang, you're right—let's discuss it inside!"

Luo Man said.

As Liu Dongzhu took out the key and opened the gate, leading Luo Man inside, the other Luo family warriors, who were about to guard the doorway, heard a loud eagle cry and drew their weapons.

Then a Peregrine Falcon Little Gray swooped down from the sky!

At that moment, a Luo family warrior skilled with bow and arrow immediately nocked an arrow.

He pulled the longbow to full draw, about to release.

Liu Dongzhu hurriedly intervened, "Brother, please don't fire—this is Ping'an's lifesaver!"

The archer quickly turned his head toward Luo Man.

"Listen, Madam Wang!"

Luo Man said something, then curiously looked at Liu Dongzhu and asked, "Madam Wang, you say this eagle is Ping'an's lifesaver—what's going on?"

"Steward Luo, that's how it is…"

Then Liu Dongzhu recounted in detail the incident that had occurred in their fields not long ago.

"How could this be…"

Luo Man was about to retort—after all, Liu Dongzhu's words were extraordinary—but before he could finish, a plump rabbit corpse fell in front of him.

Then the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray slowly descended from the sky to Liu Dongzhu's side, with a flattering demeanor, like a sycophantic petty person.

"Did I see wrong?"

Luo Man's expression turned oddly strange; he had seen many pets and even spirit pets, but this clever one was a first, and he exclaimed:

"Madam Wang, is this Ping'an's lifesaver?" "Yes, this is our Ping'an's lifesaver!"

Liu Dongzhu's face also showed a hint of surprise; she did not expect the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray to return so soon after leaving, now bearing a rabbit as a gift.

And not to mention…

It's not ordinary politeness!

Wang Ping'an sat in his mother's lap, watching the overly attentive Peregrine Falcon Little Gray beside her, his little face full of contempt.

How could he not understand why Peregrine Falcon Little Gray was fawning before his mother?

Isn't it just to enjoy again the benefits that the skill: Blessing Technique brings it?

"You beast, you're quite capable!"

Wang Ping'an laughed scoldingly, immediately using the skill: Blessing Technique, as waves of heavenly qi swarmed from all directions to gather around Peregrine Falcon Little Gray, without caring that Steward Luo might notice the anomaly.

He is not a cultivator and has never studied the Blessing scriptures, so how could he possibly detect the phenomena caused by using the skill: Blessing Technique?

This novel you have reached.

Moreover.

Even if he knows, so what?

"Screech!"

Peregrine Falcon Little Gray let out a long, satisfied cry.

Luo Man's expression turned oddly strange again; after seeing Liu Dongzhu pick up the wild rabbit corpse, why was this Peregrine Falcon Little Gray so happy?

Could it be a bootlicker—no, a bootlicking eagle?

"Meow!"

At that moment, an angry roar rang out as Hei Mao Bu Tou, his whole body bristling, strode in from outside, angrily staring at the skill: Blessing Technique‑benefiting Peregrine Falcon Little Gray, which was clearly his.

Just like catching a mistress!

Hei Mao Bu Tou looked displeased at Wang Ping'an in the lap.

Liu Dongzhu was startled; the bristling black cat was her first sight of one, and it was imposing, very much like a little tiger.

Fearing a clash between Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray!

Liu Dongzhu hurriedly said, "Spirit Cat—no, Divine Cat Hero, don't act rashly; this eagle is our Ping'an's lifesaver!"

"Madam Wang, your cat, though a spirit cat, is still not human—how could it possibly understand your words?"

Luo Man said with a helpless laugh.

Before he could finish speaking, all that could be seen was the black cat constable, whose fur was originally standing on end, suddenly lunging at the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray; the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray is naturally the king of the skies, not the type to suffer in silence.

It can fawn over Liu Dongzhu and Wang Ping'an in their presence, because it can obtain benefits from Wang Ping'an.

The black cat constable, however, is just at the bottom of the food chain and cannot bring it any benefit.

It even dares to act against it—how could it possibly allow the black cat constable to behave arrogantly in its presence?

The Peregrine Falcon Little Gray first spread its wings and took off, after dodging the black cat constable's attack, then struck at it with its talons.

In a moment, it was a fight between dragons and tigers.

Luo Man exclaimed in surprise: 'Madam Wang, your spirit cat is really formidable—it can actually fight an eagle to a standstill!'

'Steward Luo, don't joke—quickly think of a way to stop them from fighting!'

Liu Dongzhu's face changed dramatically; unlike Luo Man, who was enjoying the spectacle, she was very worried about the safety of the black cat constable and the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray—who let them be, one being the family Ping'an's protective divine beast, the other the family Ping'an's lifesaving benefactor.

No matter who gets injured, she is very worried.

'Madam Wang, you think too highly of me—I am just a person lacking the strength to truss a chicken!'

Luo Man gave a bitter laugh and said: 'You want me to stop them from fighting—isn't that asking for my life?'
