Porter of Two Worlds Chapter 53

The fact that she didn't do anything to them showed that she had come with a certain purpose. If she didn't achieve her purpose or knowing that she couldn't achieve her purpose, there was a 99% chance that she wouldn't harm them!

It was because he knew that Bai Yang invited her to sit down and talk. Else, why would someone like Bai Yang place himself in danger?

From the first look I can tell that you are one of those amateurs who only know how to boost your character to a high level and enter the real world without any true experience. This att.i.tude of underestimating those who you think pose no threat to you is exactly like the idiots in the drama shows…

Bai Yang quietly labeled the young lady in his heart. Someone like her would be too easy to handle.

To put it nicely, resolution by violence would be the easiest, simplest, and most effective way to solve an issue. But on the other hand, resolution by violence only proved one's incapability of solving problems with one's own wisdom!

However, it would an entirely different case when one's prowess had gone up to a level where he could crush everything in this world with just a flick of a finger.

But clearly, this young lady did not possess such unearthly prowess….

Now, let the show begin! I'll make her believe every word I say!

Bai Yang was all hyped up in his heart. At this moment, he was not much different than a hungry wolf preying on a little fat sheep. His eyes were glaring with bright rays that discomforted the young lady.

“Let's not talk about what brings me here first. I have other concerns now, brother, the way you look at me, it's really irritating, do you know that?”

Lan Xing, the young lady, frowned as she said.

“Brother Lan, anyone would look at you this way to your sudden appearance here. I'm just trying to see if I can uncover your ident.i.ty.” Bai Yang laughed and answered frankly.

I'm giving you this irritating look on purpose, so what are you going to do about it? Come and bite me? Sister, you are still too young and immature compared to me…

But in the face of strong and powerful individuals like these, especially when she is a girl, I have to carefully manipulate the way I present myself, my tone, expressions, and body language must be just the right amount… Sigh, I'm so tired…

“Oh? So what has Brother Bai noticed?” Lan Xing asked curiously while looking at Bai Yang.

See, there you go. I have her curiosity now. This little girl is so easy to deceive. Lucky me, I've read a few pages of psychological books before…

“Nothing. My experience is still too shallow to uncover any details.” Bai Yang looked at her from tip to toe again and shook regretfully.

Sister, my experience tells me that you are a pure and naive lady, but I'm not going to tell you that…

“One should always look after the words he speaks and the actions he takes. It's especially important to never reveal your true intentions and tell everything to everyone. Always be alert, this can help prevent others from seeing through you.”

Lan Xing said proudly to Bai Yang.

Bai Yang was sobbing in his heart as he thought, Sister, did you memorize this out from a book or a manual? With your performance now, I could convince you to traffic yourself to the far side of the world and you'd still thank me for that. Be alert? I can't see any alertness in you at all, all you do is underestimate everyone who is below your powerful strength…

Then, Xiao Mao came to the table with some wooden plates. Bai Yang stood up and said.

“We live in the forest, there is nothing nice to serve here. Please forgive us for that.” He said while helping Xiao Mao placing the plates on the table. The foods were nothing but the ordinary smoked meat, fruits, and the Hundred Fruits Wine.

“It's fine. Even the food of the forest have their own specialties.” Lan Xing replied as though she was an easygoing gentleman. But her acting was so terrible any background actor could act better than her…

She reached for the bowl of Hundred Fruits Wine served to her by Bai Yang and drank it all in one go like a true man.

Bai Yang watched as she drank it all and he felt like dying for her. Oh my, with her level of IQ, someone please tell me she has sneaked out of her house on her own without her parents knowing instead of her parents letting her out willingly. She could die anytime out here and the best part of it all, she wouldn't even know how did she died! You just took anything anyone has given to you without even checking if it's poisoned, are you in a hurry to die?!

Oh s.h.i.+t, I forgot to add poison in the food…

“Hm? Why is Brother Bai not drinking?” Lan Xing looked at Bai Yang curiously.

“Pardon me, Brother Lan. I can't drink, a small bowl is enough to put me to sleep.” Bai Yang replied with a bitter smile. For once, he was speaking the truth.

Drink like how you do? Stop joking, that one bowl is enough to knock me unconscious for days…

Xiao Mao remained quiet all the way while standing beside Bai Yang. Her hands were maintained in a position close to her sabers. Clearly, she was still not relaxed about Lan Xing's sudden appearance.

“Are you still a man if you can't drink?” Lan Xing looked down on Bai Yang and she said like she was a man herself.

Woah, woah, woah, your acting, it's so terrible. Did you learn this sentence from your father?

Bai Yang looked down on her in his heart while he replied, “It's not that I don't want to. But I'm allergic to alcohol.”

“Allergic?”

“Umm, the nature of my body does not allow me to drink. To the rest of you, alcohol is a drink to showcase your manliness, but to me, alcohol is a poison that can kill me.”

“I've heard of people like you before, I never knew I would actually meet one. What a shame, Brother Bai, what a shame you can't enjoy the fun of drinking…”

Lan Xing shook regretfully as she said.

“Brother Lan is a true man. Here, drink more.” Bai Yang filled her bowl and thought, Innocent girl, drink, drink, quickly drink more and tell me all you know…

In order to make herself appear like a real man, Lan Xing really drank every single bowl served to her. After a dozen bowls of wine, her little face blushed red and her eyes slowly turned out of focus. One must say, she sure looks attractive somehow…

“The Hundred Fruits Wine is the specialty of the Lost Forest. It's worth more than 10 yuans out there. It tastes so nice. But daddy doesn't allow me to drink a lot!”

After Bai Yang made her drink a little too much, the young lady was clearly slowly getting dizzy and drunk now.

“Oh? Tell me more about it, Brother Lan.” Bai Yang was wanting to know the value of these items and finally, someone delivered herself here to explain to him everything he wanted to know.

“The Lost Forest's Hundred Fruits Wine, smoked spice meat, and wild herbs are the hot selling items out there. Even those in the far cities crave for them. But the Che Family has monopolized the trades with the Lost Forest, their business has been most careful here and leaves no chance for the rest. The Che Family has earned most of its wealth here.”

Lan Xing's head swayed as she answered Bai Yang's question.

As she explained, Bai Yang instantly figured out the rest of it. Such was the charm of local specialties, the way the villagers smoke the meat, brewed the Hundred Fruits Wine, and the wild herbs of nature, these could all be seen only in the Lost Forest.

Therefore, when these resources were properly managed, they could be turned into great wealth that everyone would have their eyes on.

Reading between the lines, this meant that Lan Xing's purpose was most likely here to rob the Che Family's business. Perhaps, she had heard of what happened back there in De Yang Town and came thinking that this could be her chance.

Is it her own decision to come or is someone else that gave her the instruction to come? Given that she came straight to Gedo Village, it seems like she is here for me.

Bai Yang quickly sorted out the information he knows and concluded. Then, he asked again, “How did you come to the Lost Forest? Why do you come?”

“The Che Family has been monopolizing the trades of the Lost Forest, many in De Yang Town have been wanting to interfere but Che Family has been wary about it. But I happen to know that the Che Family recently came into conflict with the villagers in the Lost Forest. Thus, I've had people keeping a close eye at the Che Family and I got to know that Che Nian of the Che Family has entered the Lost Forest. So I followed behind to see what he would do and if I can steal some of Che Family's business…”

The young lady was clearly not a good drinker. She blurted out everything Bai Yang asked for without even holding back at all…

Suddenly, Lan Xing looked at Bai Yang with a pair of misty eyes and said, “Hehe, the sixth brother of Che Family, Che Nian, fought the Four Eared Green Ox and was left on the ground half dead. It's you and the villagers that had his head chopped off. I saw it all. Che Nian is Che Family's martial artist who has already cultivated three Blood Qi. The Che Family will not let his death go unanswered. If you agree to do business with my Lan Family, I will handle the Che Family for you, how about that?”

Shoot, and I was wondering why did this young lady came here. So she has been quietly watching everything in the dark…

Bai Yang thought and abruptly smiled at the drunk lady.

Drunk now, are you? Then, forgive me for being rude, alright? I have so many questions that I need answers for. I'm having all my hopes on you to answer them now…
