The Husky and His White Cat Shizun

Chapter 340 Extra “Xue Meng’s Blind Date: Wan Ning is Awesome”

Chu Wanning. Mo Ran. Peach Bud Manor.

As these three names surfaced in Xue Mengʼs mind, they stirred up an unforgettable, regrettable memory. Back then, Heaven-Stepping Lord had told him that Chu Wanning and Mo Ran had shared a bed at Peach Bud Manor, right before his very eyes, separated only by a curtain.

The emotional trauma it had inflicted upon him was immense.

If time could turn back, he would have roared to interrupt Heaven-Stepping Lord the moment he opened his mouth to speak the first word—

”Stop right there! I already have a mental image now!!!”

But the past couldnʼt be undone, and life had to go on.

To subdue the scroll demon, Xue Meng reluctantly allowed Elder Chen Xuyuan to write a letter to his master and cousin, respectfully requesting Master Chuʼs assistance in overcoming this crisis.

Then they waited.

Nanping Mountain stood by the side of West Lake, the closest location to Peach Bud Manor. Even without flying on a sword, it would only take a leisurely stroll from the boundary in the clouds down to the manor in just one or two hours.

For some reason, though, despite sending the letter, Chu Wanning and company still hadnʼt responded by dawn.

Mei Hanxue was an intelligent person and could easily infer the reason behind it. He glanced at the sun and got up to address everyone, ”You should all go rest. There probably wonʼt be any news for the whole morning.”

The Peach Bud Villa disciples had also been on guard all night. Hearing this, they didnʼt probe further into his words and nodded, yawning as they dispersed, planning to catch up on some sleep.

Only Xue Meng frowned at him, ”Why arenʼt we waiting? My Master will be here soon; he never oversleeps.”

Mei Hanxue smiled, ”You still donʼt know your Master well enough.”

”Youʼre talking nonsense! Could I not know him better than you? Donʼt believe me? Letʼs make a bet!”

”Oh?” Mei Hanxue, seeing his indignant expression, perked up, teasing him like he would a bird, ”What would you bet on? I remember you didnʼt bring much silver with you. What would you use as stakes?”

”Who says I didnʼt bring any? Just wait...” Xue Meng gritted his teeth and started digging in his money pouch.

Of course, he wasnʼt broke; he had just recently succeeded as the Sect Leader. Although he put up a decent front in public, he was still inexperienced. Elder Xuan Ji worried that he might spend recklessly or be deceived by cunning women like Hua Ruowei, so the financial accounts were carefully managed by the elders. Despite being the Sect Leader, Xue Meng could only receive a modest allowance from Xuan Ji each month.

And this month, to his embarrassment, he had spent most of his savings on the matchmaking session with Jiang Xi.

Moreover, Jiang Xi looked down on him! The way Jiang Xi, disguised as ”Ruo Ying,” looked at him clearly showed disdain for his poverty!

Not to mention his subsequent blind dates with Heaven-Stepping Lord and those bizarre men and women... The once brilliant prodigy Xue Ziming had been drained by these flashy and insincere people to the point where he needed to count toilet paper squares before using the restroom.

But for Chu Wanningʼs reputation, no matter how poor or tired Sect Master Xue was, he would still take the gamble!

At worst, he could halve the toilet paper usage!

So Mei Hanxue watched as Xue Meng rummaged through every nook and cranny of his body, producing a pile of scattered copper coins that probably didnʼt even amount to fifty wen. With a flourish worthy of trillionaires, Xue Meng slammed them onto the table, with two small copper coins rolling onto the floor.

Mei Hanxue: ”....”

”I bet my Master will come after his breakfast!” Xue Meng declared resolutely.

”...And if he doesnʼt?”

”Iʼll give you all of this!”

Mei Hanxue glanced at the meager pile of coins, turned back to face him, and smiled. ”Iʼve heard Grandmaster Chu say that when betting, one should go big. Letʼs forget about these; how about something else?”

”What else?”

”Running naked through the streets and performing in brothels.”

Xue Meng: ”??!!”

Mei Hanxue frowns. ”What nonsense are you up to?”

Mei Hanxue covers her mouth with a hand, giggling despite herself. ”Donʼt take it seriously, I was just teasing him.”

”Hmm... let me think...” Mei Hanxue folds her arms, her eyes crinkling in amusement. ”How about this... the loser has to dress up as a woman according to the winnerʼs choice?”
