I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Yuan Feng was eager to return home, but he still slowed down to take care of Zhao Muxin who was behind him.

Zhao Muxin behind him looked weak, but she didn't complain at all the time. She just followed silently without slowing down much.

When he was about to go down the mountain, Yuan Feng saw an acquaintance from afar.

It was Wang Er who returned disappointed.

Yuan Feng didn't call him, but greeted him as he passed by.

"It's getting dark, why don't you go home?"

"I'll be right back." Wang Er responded perfunctorily, not noticing that it was Yuan Feng.

But he quickly reacted. There were only a few people in the village, and he was very familiar with Yuan Feng's voice.

"Um, you're a pig farmer? You're not dead?"

"What? Are you hoping I'll die?"

"That can't be possible." Wang Er said insincerely. He really hoped that Yuan Feng would die so that he could divide up Yuan Feng's pigs. "I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid that you will be killed by bandits."

"The bandits in the mountains ran away long ago." Yuan Feng was too lazy to lie, but he concealed the fact that he was being chased.

There's no point in telling Wang Er about this; he's just a gangster and he won't care about me.

"Run away? Then you are really lucky. Eh? This girl is so pretty. Who is she from?"

Wang Er's attention was suddenly attracted by Zhao Muxin who was following behind him.

"I picked it up."

"You picked it up? You pig farmer..."

Wang Er hesitated to speak. He really wanted to say, how could a pig farmer have the bad luck to pick up a young lady? But he was afraid that saying so would make Yuan Feng angry, so he did not say it.

"This young lady you picked up, is she still unmarried?"

"She's a virgin, but don't worry about it. She doesn't like you."

Yuan Feng could see clearly that Zhao Muxin was a lady from a wealthy family. Even though she was down and out now, no matter how miserable she was, she would never fall for Wang Er, a scoundrel who was idle and not doing his job.

"You are a pig farmer, what do you know? She hasn't even spoken yet. How do you know that she doesn't like me, little lady? Don't you think so?"

Wang Er grinned at Zhao Muxin, with some yellow cabbage leaves stuck between his teeth.

This frightened Zhao Muxin so much that she dared not move.

Yuan Feng stopped and shook his head at Wang Er: "Okay, I don't know shit. Ask her now, do you think she will go with you?"

"You stinky pig farmer, let me show you what charm is. Don't be afraid, little girl. Although I'm handsome, I'm still very friendly. It's so late, how about staying at my house? My house is very big."

Zhao Muxin was silent for a while: "I don't want it."

Yuan Feng smiled broadly: "Did you hear me? If they don't want it, stop being a hooligan."

"Humph, I don't believe it. The young lady must be shy."

"Get out of here, you lowlife." Yuan Feng pushed Wang Er away and made way for Zhao Muxin.

Zhao Muxin felt relieved and quickly ran over, shrinking her body.

"Pig farmer, you've ruined my business. Anyway, what does the lower man mean? Are you scolding me?"

"I'm not scolding you. The lower man means the smartest man in the afternoon."

"So that's what happened."

Wang Er thought about it and realized that he was usually clearest and smartest in the afternoon.

Just when she was feeling a little proud, she looked up and saw that Yuan Feng and Zhao Muxin had already walked away.

"You stinky pig farmer, you kidnapped the young lady. Can your little cabin accommodate two people?"

Hearing Wang Er's shouting getting farther and farther away, Yuan Feng also reacted.

Yes, my house is a bit small, and I can’t let the little girl sleep in the cowshed.

It's time to build a bigger house. Now that I'm stronger, I can build a new house alone.

Since we are building a new house, we might as well expand the pigpen. Several sows are pregnant and will give birth to piglets by the end of the year.

It will be too late to expand by then. The sooner you expand, the easier it will be.

"benefactor……"

Just as he was thinking about the plan, Zhao Muxin suddenly tapped him from behind.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Feng looked back in confusion.

"Benefactor, Xin'er wants to say that the man just now was not the subordinate, but the benefactor. Benefactor, you are the smartest."

"Hmm? Actually, the lower man means it as an insult."

Yuan Feng never expected that the stone he had just lifted would hit his foot, and it was the person he had just rescued who hit him.

"Ah, I'm sorry, benefactor. It was Xin'er who was stupid." With a splash, Zhao Muxin shed two lines of tears of shame.

He cries as soon as he is told to. Is this thing made of water?

Yuan Feng was stunned: "It's not your fault. I was just trying to scare Wang Er, that thug, but I didn't expect you to listen to me. Don't cry anymore, or you might hurt yourself."

After listening to Yuan Feng's explanation, Zhao Muxin's tears gradually stopped.

"Benefactor, what does the lower man really mean?"

"You don't need to know this. It's a rural dialect. You just need to know that it's an insult. Let's go. My house is just ahead."

Yuan Feng took Zhao Muxin and walked for a while, and finally returned to the courtyard they had been longing for.

"It's a little small, but at least it can keep out the wind and rain, and it won't leak when it rains. The house is very sturdy. You can sleep on the bed at night, and I'll wipe the table, and you can sleep too."

"My benefactor, this is inappropriate. Xin'er should sleep on the table."

"Why are you sleeping on the table, little girl? Just listen to my arrangements. I have the final say in this family. Don't worry, I will expand the guest room tomorrow, and you will have a place to sleep."

Yuan Feng is not so stingy as to let guests sleep on the table.

So he acted like a domineering president for once.

This overbearing president is a bit low, but Zhao Muxin, who has never seen the world and has no one to rely on, felt warm in her heart when she heard it.

The door creaked open and Yuan Feng saw the white cat Xiao Ling lying on the bed at first sight.

"Ah, you still remember to come back. Your master almost couldn't come back, and you still have the mind to sleep?"

"What?" The little civet's eyes widened.

Almost couldn't come back?

I just came back from doing some work, and Daya didn't tell me anything. He just said that his master had gone out to gain experience.

"Oh, you little kitten, you still know how to open your eyes. It's not in vain that I raised you."

Yuan Feng didn't really blame Xiao Ling, he was just joking with her.

In his eyes, Xiao Ling was just an ordinary kitten, and no matter how much he cared about her, it would not be her fault.

"See? This is my cat. Isn't it cute? It's very human."

Yuan Feng pointed at Xiao Ling and said to Zhao Muxin.

"Yes...it's cute."

Zhao Muxin said with a trembling voice.

This kitten looks cute, but its eyes are so scary, as if it wants to eat itself.

The more Zhao Muxin looked at the kitten, the more frightened she became, so she simply turned her head away.

Yuan Feng was not blind and noticed something was wrong: "Why, are you afraid of cats?"

"Yes...I am a little scared."

In fact, Zhao Muxin is not afraid of cats, she is just a little afraid of the way Xiao Ling looks at her.

"I see, Xiao Ling, go to the cowshed."

Yuan Feng was not polite to this old member of the family. Since she scared the guest, he asked her to get out.

"Humph! An unfaithful man!"

Xiao Ling cursed inwardly and jumped out of the window.

Of course she could pretend not to understand and stay there, but she was also afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions and would eat the girl in one bite.

Zhao Muxin’s feeling was correct, Xiao Ling had eaten her heart.

Xiao Ling is very angry now. In order to let Xiao Rou seduce her master, she found a nine-tailed fox. But before she even showed up, her master suddenly brought a beautiful girl home. How could she not be angry?

The angry Xiao Ling jumped out of the yard.

At this time, there was a charming woman in a white dress squatting in the corner outside the yard, with an impatient look on her face.

"Qilin, you didn't tell me there's already a woman in this family. I'm telling you, I, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, won't be a mistress."

"You're a fox, and you're picking on me? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up." Xiao Ling was angry, raising his cat paws, exuding an overwhelming aura.

"What? It was just a joke. Why are you so angry? I didn't provoke you. You called me here from far away just to bully me, right?" said the nine-tailed fox aggrievedly.

"Forget it, I won't beat you up. The plan has changed. Tonight's plan is cancelled. You can find another opportunity to establish a relationship tomorrow. Be smart, do you hear me?"

"I heard your plan. I've heard it so many times that my ears are callused. I've been traveling for several days and my body is exhausted. Where will I stay tonight?"

"You can live wherever you want. I have no place for you to live."

"Okay, I see some houses around here, and there are a lot of strong young men. I'm injured and need to absorb some Yang energy. I'd like to borrow your place to stay." After saying that, the nine-tailed fox turned around and was about to leave. It was boring to stay there for too long.

"and many more."

Xiao Ling quickly called her.

We can't let the nine-tailed fox suck the yang energy, because she will suck people to death. If people die in the village, it may affect the stable life of the owner.

"You can't touch the villagers."

"You're not letting me touch you. Are you trying to make me starve to death?"

"With your current state? Can you still starve to death?"

"I won't starve to death, but my injuries won't heal."

"I don't care about that. Anyway, you can't touch anyone in the village." Xiao Ling said seriously.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Your fist is bigger than mine. In our demon beast world, fists are the law."

The nine-tailed fox left angrily.

But I was secretly muttering in my heart: If I am not allowed to touch the villagers, then you won’t be able to control those who pass by.
