Chapter 15: The Inherited White Tiger Beast, As Determined by the System!
"Sir... I'm coming in!"
From outside, a trembling voice, belonging to Zhang Hong, could be heard asking permission.
Right after, she pushed the door open and entered.
She knelt down in front of Zhang Xue Ming, her head lowered like a maid.
Clearly, the previous beating had significantly subdued Zhang Shu Zhen's sharpness.
"Have you washed your face? Look up, let me see!"
Zhang Xue Ming calmly sat there. Although Zhang Hong was a character with a blue attribute, he wouldn't take her into the family if she was too ugly.
After all, he was planning to build a family that would last for generations.
If, because of the woman's poor genes, the descendants ended up being too ugly...
That would impact the opinions of future generations on himself.
Even though Zhang Xue Ming had good taste, he wasn't someone who could eat just anything!
It had to be delicious food, something delectable.
However, when Zhang Hong slowly raised her head...
Zhang Xue Ming was stunned!
"Holy shit! Isn't this Mikasa?!"
Zhang Hong had a fair complexion, dark eyes, and short, refreshing hair that reached just below her chin. Her every move seemed to be eight or nine parts similar to a certain anime character that Zhang Xue Ming had seen!
Except...
She looked younger, more childish.
She didn't have Mikasa's angular face.
Damn it!
She looked so much like Mikasa.
She had martial arts training.
And she even possessed the attribute of inherent treachery.
Zhang Xue Ming subconsciously touched the back of his neck.
This woman wouldn't try to stab him in the back of the neck while he was sleeping, would she?
Never mind!
Since the system's prompt about the "Childlike Face" attribute was true!
Then he needed to verify now!
If this "White Beast Body" was real!
"Come here! Sit down!"
Zhang Shu Zhen naturally understood the meaning of the words of the young warlord. She bit her lip, not daring to disobey.
She got up and sat directly on Zhang Xue Ming's lap, gritting her teeth, launching her attack.
However, she was inherently rebellious.
Although she was obedient on the surface, her heart was already filled with murderous intent!
'Just wait! When you fall asleep tonight, this lady will definitely take your life!'
But soon!
Zhang Shu Zhen realized she was wrong!
And she was wrong in a way that was absurdly off the mark!
Sleep?
What could she even sleep with?
From nightfall to dawn.
Zhang Shu Zhen, who had been kneeling on the ground, her spirit already scattered, had no thoughts of killing or revenge anymore.
Right now!
All she wanted was to sleep peacefully!
This wasn't a warlord.
This was a monster wearing human skin!
......
"Knock knock! Sir!"
While Zhang Xue Ming was busy, two maids, Ru Yu and Ru Hua, called out from outside the tent.
"What is it?"
Zhang Xue Ming seemed a little unhappy.
"Sir, the troops are about to set off. Commander Ma asks you to move to the large wagon!"
"Also, this is a bowl of ginseng soup that was freshly boiled. The Madame said for you to drink it while it's hot!"
This was superior ginseng soup, made with wild ginseng from Northeast China, along with precious ingredients like gecko, seahorse, and sea dog's penis. It was simmered over low heat for three hours.
The fragrance wafted through the air as soon as it was brought into the tent.
Since the Ming Dynasty, sea dog ginseng pills had been a tribute from Northeast China, exclusively for the use of royalty.
It was said that this was an exceptionally rare item that offered great benefits.
Last year, when Zhang Zu Lin became the commander of Fengtian, there were rumors that he had sent a hundred sea dog's penises to the capital, which allowed him to curry favor and seize the throne.
"It's really Feng Zhi, she knows how to be caring!"
Zhang Xue Ming nodded.
He took the ginseng soup and drank it in one gulp.
The soup had been simmered to perfection. It was clear that it had been cooked over low heat for three hours or more.
If one were to infer from the timing, it was likely that his wife had ordered the maids to make the medicine as soon as Zhang Hong entered the tent.
Ah!
He was here, working hard for the family's future.
His wife was outside, keeping the home fires burning.
They were truly a harmonious pair, like a phoenix and a dragon, in perfect accord!
To have such a wife!
What more could a man ask for!
On the other hand, Zhang Shu Zhen became even more desperate!
Damn it!
She had already accepted defeat, knowing she couldn't win.
Now!
You're taking a break at halftime?
Taking medicine to replenish your blue bar?
Is this game even playable anymore?!
But the next second.
Zhang Xue Ming's words made Zhang Hong tense up again!
"Ru Yu, go get the white tiger skin from Feng Zhi's dowry. I need it!"
"Yes, Master!"
Yu Feng Zhi was the beloved daughter of a wealthy man from Northeast China.
Adding to that, she had married into the Zhang family.
Therefore, her dowry was extremely generous.
Apart from a large amount of grain and silver,
The most precious item among them was this white albino tiger skin.
It was said that this was hunted by an old hunter from Northeast China on Mount Changbai. Old Man Yu had paid a thousand yuan for it.
He had originally intended to give it to Old Marshal Zhang Zu Lin as the material for a tiger chair in the army.
But Zhang Xue Ming had directly seized it.
Since he had already screwed over Little Six.
Could he not screw over his cheap old dad?
Good things should be kept for himself!
There was not a single hair on Zhang Shu Zhen's head, only her hair. She was a born beast!
And it matched perfectly with the murderous aura of this white albino tiger skin.
If anyone knew about the esoteric arts, they would know.
Zhang Xue Ming was using the tiger skin to suppress Zhang Shu Zhen's murderous aura.
As expected, while Zhang Shu Zhen was completely bewildered,
Maid Ru Yu had already delivered the enormous tiger skin. Zhang Xue Ming didn't stand on ceremony. He draped it over Zhang Shu Zhen and stood up.
He casually walked out of the tent and got into the prepared wagon.
At this moment.
Zhang Shu Zhen completely broke down!
She felt that Zhang Xue Ming's hands didn't seem to be supporting her.
But... why was she off the ground?!
