Life at the Mulan Hunting Ground was always joyful. In this year's Buku wrestling competition, Hong Yan did not participate, and the winner was Na Ri Tai's brother, Ashida.
This made Naritai extremely proud, and she bragged about it everywhere. Hongzhao was also unconvinced, saying, "If my brother hadn't missed the competition, he definitely wouldn't have gotten first place!"
Naritai retorted, "Pshaw! What's the big deal? Just because your brother could win before doesn't mean he can win now! My brother has improved tremendously!"
Hongzhao raised his voice even higher: "My brother is the most powerful!"
"My brother is! My brother can kill a bull with one punch!"
"My brother can eat a whole pig in one bite!"
"My brother blew a breath, and the whole grassland changed!"
"My brother can pluck a single hair from his body and conjure up ten thousand people!"
"You're bragging!"
"You're the one bragging! My brother can fly 108,000 li in one somersault!"
Seeing that the two were getting more and more outrageous, Hongyan and Ashida quickly stopped the two frenemy.
Ashida took Naritai's hand and apologized to Hongzhao and Hongyan: "I'm sorry, my two brothers. My sister has been spoiled since she was a child and has no manners. Please forgive her if she has offended anyone."
Hongyan quickly waved his hand: "It's alright, it's just children playing around."
Naritai pouted, looking particularly unhappy, but she could still hear Hongzhao's words echoing in her ears: "Is it true that a single hair of his brother can conjure up ten thousand people?"
She was a little curious, so she peeked out from behind Ashida, staring intently at Hong Yan, and muttered to herself, "They don't look any different. They both have one head and two arms."
Ashida and Hongyan struck up a conversation, with Hongyan praising Ashida's Buku abilities. However, Ashida knew he was still no match for Hongyan, and he respected capable people.
Seeing their two older brothers chatting together without anyone stopping them, Hongzhao and Naritai huddled together again. But this time they didn't start arguing.
"Hongzhao, you said that one somersault can cover 108,000 li? Can your brother really fly?" Naritai unusually didn't get angry with him.
Hongzhao stood tall and proud, extremely pleased with himself: "Of course."
"Then! Next time he flies, can he take me with him?" Naritai was a little excited; she had never flown before!
You see, her favorite creature on the entire grassland is the eagle that can spread its wings and soar! It's a pity she wasn't born with wings, otherwise she too could have soared into the blue sky like an eagle and looked down over the entire grassland.
Hongzhao feigned profundity, appearing reluctant: "But flying is not a simple matter..."
Naritai understood and nudged his arm: "Hey, we're good friends now, isn't that enough?"
Hongzhao shook his head.
Naritai grew anxious: "Then what should I do? How about I give you another bracelet? Or should I give you my Abu's wolf pelt?"
Hongzhao raised an eyebrow. Hmm? Wolf skin?
That's a good idea!
So he nodded reservedly, "Alright then."
Naritai was overjoyed, jumping for joy: "Then it's settled! When can we fly?"
Hongzhao coughed twice: "When you bring the wolf pelt!"
"Alright! I'll go back and get it right now! I was just about to bring it along to show off to the other princes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Naritai turned and ran away.
Seeing his sister run away, Ashida quickly said a few words to Hongyan and then took his leave to chase after his sister.
Seeing Hongzhao's somewhat guilty look, Hongyan raised an eyebrow: "What mischief have you done this time?"
Hongzhao scratched his head, forcing a denial: "No...no!"
Hongyan narrowed his eyes slightly: "No? This is the attitude you always have when you lie. Hongzhao, let me remind you, don't be naughty anymore, or your sister will really beat you up."
Thinking of his elder sister's imposing presence, Hongzhao shuddered.
However, he still gritted his teeth and didn't say it out loud, thinking to himself that he would definitely teach Naritai a lesson this time, since she was always making things difficult for him.
Naritai didn't reappear until dusk.
She ran to the outside of Hongzhao's yurt and whispered furtively, "Little puppy! Little puppy!"
Hongzhao was having his meal when he heard a familiar voice. His lips twitched. A puppy?!
This Naritai?!
If I don't trick her, I'm not Aisin-Gioro Hongzhao!
Hongzhao came out triumphantly and saw Naritai struggling to carry a large bag, which was bulging with contents.
When Naritai saw him come out, her eyes lit up: "Why did you take so long to come out! I'm exhausted, this thing is so heavy! I had to carry him, otherwise Abu would definitely nag me if he found out!"
Hongzhao curiously peered inside: "This is wolf skin?"
Naritai turned her head arrogantly: "Of course! My brother hunted it himself! I always said he's the most powerful hero on the grassland!"
Hongzhao took the large bag, opened it, and his excitement grew even stronger. It was indeed a top-quality wolf pelt! It was perfectly preserved, and the wolf's head looked majestic!
Hongzhao was extremely satisfied, and Naritai was also somewhat smug, but she didn't forget their promise: "Hurry up! Can you take me flying now?"
"Ahem," Hongzhao rolled his eyes. "It's too late now. How about this, you come first thing tomorrow morning!"
"Huh? We have to wait? Fine then." Naritai said with a bitter face. She had very little patience and was always straightforward.
Seeing her appearance, Hongzhao felt a little guilty, but he still quickly put away the wolf skin. Thinking that she had rushed here and probably hadn't eaten, he asked out of hospitality, "Would you like to have a meal together?"
Naritai tilted her head to look at him and readily agreed: "Sure! What good food is there? Beijing cuisine? I've never been to Beijing before!"
Hongzhao led her into the yurt, and coincidentally, the dishes delivered today were ones that Hongzhao had ordered himself.
Naritai stared blankly at the dishes on the table; she didn't recognize a single one of them…
Hongzhao warmly invited her to sit down and then introduced her to everyone one by one.
"This is called Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork), it's sweet and sour, and it's delicious."
"This dish is called pickled cabbage. Pickled cabbage stewed with pork bones is my mother's favorite dish."
"This is called blood sausage, and it's made with pig's blood."
"This is chicken stew with mushrooms."
"This is a large facelift."
"This is a chicken carcass."
"This is eggplant with potato sauce."
"This is a beef pie."
Naritai was dazzled by the variety of dishes. She picked up her chopsticks and tried them one by one. Surprisingly, all the dishes were to her liking.
"Wow! Hongzhao! These dishes are so delicious! I could eat two bowls of rice!"
Hongzhao was very pleased. See? It's not that he can eat a lot, it's that these dishes are really good with rice!
