The atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Leng Pusheng stood still, the knife in his hand humming.
"Come out," he said through gritted teeth.
The woods were eerily quiet.
Leng Pusheng had lost his patience.
His voice grew increasingly deep: "Should I go in and ask you to come out?"

Brother Xie's eyes lit up: "Then it's a deal! You can't go back on your word!"

The old woman in charge dared not delay any longer and hurriedly went to Tingfeng Pavilion to inquire about the situation.
Wei Wei sat in the armchair and listened as she spoke with a slightly flustered tone: "Madam said she would be back soon and told us to tell the kitchen staff that she wants to eat crystal pork knuckle for dinner tonight."
