"You two, didn’t you really sense anything?" Cui Wenyan was clearly a little disbelieving that as fox spirits they could be so weak, and asked again, unwilling to give up.
Bai Yue and Luo Peng shook their heads again. The two fox spirits had some doubts about their fox skills; they really hadn’t sensed anything unusual.
"Bai Yue, Luo Peng, you both should know ventriloquism, right?" Tianmiao looked at the somewhat dazed Bai Yue and Luo Peng.
"Ventriloquism?" Luo Peng was taken aback.
"You can mimic a person’s voice and tone of speaking, right?" Tianmiao explained.
"Yes." Luo Peng nodded. If they couldn’t do this little trick, could they still call themselves fox spirits?
"Then, now act out what you’ve seen." Having said that, Tianmiao stood up and lightly wiped over Bai Yue and Luo Peng’s eyelids, letting them look outside.
In the next instant, Bai Yue and Luo Peng saw the scene outside the courtyard walls with unparalleled clarity. The two fox spirits were shocked inside, and suppressed their excitement. Bai Yue whispered, "We can see outside, we’re seeing through walls. Amazing, what is this? Sir, you’re really incredible."
Luo Peng shushed, "Don’t talk anymore, listen to what they say and repeat it for Sir."
Bai Yue nodded.
Wu Yihao and Liang Bing wore expressions of disbelief. Really? Could what the two fox spirits said be true?
Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang were standing outside the courtyard wall, arguing with another couple.
Bai Yue spoke up, and out came Aunt Jiang’s voice: "Your dog noses sure are sharp, we just moved in and you already came looking."
Luo Peng began speaking, but in another woman’s voice: "Aunt Jiang, don’t make it sound so unpleasant. There are six of them, aren’t you afraid it’s too much to handle? My son Zhuzhi saw it, right? There are two women this time? We’ll ignore the girl, she’s too young."
Wu Yihao and Liang Bing’s eyes widened, their minds on the verge of crashing. This was amazing! What exactly did Tianmiao do? With a swipe of a finger, it’s like they’ve gained magical sight letting two fox spirits see what’s happening outside? (The two of them were already used to the idea that fox spirits were weak. They were just surprised by Tianmiao’s methods; the ventriloquism seemed child’s play to them.)
"What exactly do you want?" Aunt Jiang’s voice was full of impatience.
"Two women, one for each of our families, our sons don’t have wives, this is just perfect. Choose a good breeder. As for the others, offer them."
"These are all our finds. Just a word from you and you want to take a woman away for free? No way! Without giving us some benefits, don’t even think about it."
"So what do you want?"
"Half of the potion the Lord bestowed last time, split it with us."
"You really have the nerve, asking for half, why don’t you ask for the sky instead?"
"Will you give it or not, just say it."
"Half of the half."
"A bit more, a third. If not, get lost."
"Fine, a third it is."
The two couples seemed to have reached an agreement.
At that moment, Bai Yue imitated the sound of footsteps.
The next instant, Bai Yue’s elderly voice rang out, clearly that of Old Man Wu from the village entrance just now.
"You’re really foolish, don’t get any ideas about these people." Old Man Wu scolded the two couples bluntly.
"Old man Wu, what do you mean? It’s not like you’re giving up the fat meat, we’re not the ones stealing." Aunt Jiang said angrily.
"I said you’re foolish and you are. Do you think I’m preventing you from taking people? Didn’t you see I tried to drive them away yesterday? These people aren’t ones we can afford to provoke; don’t cause trouble for the Lord."
