Gate of God Chapter 157: Well Done

Chapter 157: Well Done

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

This was the first time Fang Zhengzhi was in the capitol. As such, he was quite curious and decided to go take a stroll, trying out the local delicacies along the way.

He did not call Yan Xiu along. He knew that Yan Xiu had already visited these places before and preferred the serenity of home.

He casually strolled out the front door, humming a tune as he walked.

The capitol was bustling with activity. There was something that captured his attention every few steps. There were baskers, delicacies, poets, painters…

Fang Zhengzhi loved to look at the scenery too.

After all, good things are meant to be shared. Good scenery makes one incredibly happy. Looking at it every now and then made life a lot easier.

“I searched for her in chaos a million times, yet, when I turned around, she was standing there in the dim light!”

Many a times, people thought of ‘her’ as various types of items, beauties, flowers, top grade tea, etc…

For Fang Zhengzhi, ‘she’ was money and treasure. Even though he was not greedy, who would ever complain about earning more money?

Right now…

Fang Zhengzhi felt like he had found ‘her’.

In front of him was a young lady. She was smiling rather proudly, her purplish red cloak making her stand out amongst the crowd.

She was like an elf in fire.

Her clear blue eyes stared at Fang Zhengzhi.

Of course, this was not the point. An ingot appeared in Fang Zhengzhi’s palm. It was about the size of his fist and represented at least a hundred ounces.

Fang Zhengzhi felt like he was incredibly lucky. He was being paid to walk around. He wasn’t even given a chance to refuse!

What is this girl trying to do? Fang Zhengzhi was slightly suspicious.

“Bring my horse back to the stable and feed it, do you understand?” The young girl threw the reins to Fang Zhengzhi, then walked to the residence at the side.

Fang Zhengzhi was stunned. Is this girl treating me as her servant?

Do I look like a servant?

Fang Zhengzhi did not think of himself as a servant. However, if he listened to this girl and took the horse to the stable, he would be able to earn a hundred ounces of gold easily.

All he had to do was go to the residence and say he was the subordinate of the girl and it would all be done.

A hundred ounces of gold just to bring a horse to a stable. What a steal!

But…

The question remained, should he set aside his ego for a hundred ounces of gold?

There was no way he was going to return the hundred ounces of gold. He would rather lose his life than give those gold back.

Fang Zhengzhi’s gaze fell on the reins in his hand.

Then, he looked at the jade white top grade horse. Even though he didn’t know what breed it was, it looked incredibly powerful, possibly even better than the Snow Treading Dragon Stallion.

This girl…

Seems to be quite rich?!

Fang Zhengzhi virtually confirmed that the girl must be from a wealthy family. She was just quite the spoilt child.

“Okay then, since you’ve been so pampered, I shan’t give you any chances!” Fang Zhengzhi smiled and tightened his grip. Then, with his other hand, he stroked the Snow White neck of the horse in front of him.

The girl happened to turn around. Seeing this scene, her eyes glimmered and her smile widened.

“What a classic villager, easily tempted by money. I bet you didn’t know that that’s the quality I’m targeting, humph!” The young girl scoffed as she walked back to the residence.

One must act out the scene to perfection!

In the residence, a youth was staring wide eyed out the window of his room, his expression pained. He could not believe what he was seeing

“That’s… quite a despicable method?” The youth felt that the girl’s methods made it hard for him to believe this was a fair bet.

But he had no other choice. After all, the terms were that Fang Zhengzhi would help her feed and lead her horse. Everything else was fair game.

Even though her methods were questionable, no one could argue with the results.

The youth suddenly remembered the last thing the girl had said to him, “Don’t you think it’s very smart of me to kill two birds with one stone?”

Two birds with one stone…

I guess she did it. She got my Purple Lightning Dragon Stallion and her revenge.

…

This seemed like the perfect plan. A coincidental meet outside a hotel, a huge sum paid for a menial task.

There was no risk, yet the rewards were enormous.

Any normal person would not be able to resist the temptation.

Fang Zhengzhi was no different, in fact, he had no intention to resist it.

The girl had gotten him there.

However, even the most perfect plan is bound to have flaws. The girl predicted that Fang Zhengzhi would keep the gold, and he did.

But…

She had underestimated Fang Zhengzhi, or maybe, overestimated him.

…

Fang Zhengzhi quickly placed the gold in his Heart Protection Mirror. Then, he smiled as he saw the girl enter the hotel.

She did not turn back.

Fang Zhengzhi did not turn back either. But, he did not head towards the hotel. Instead, he headed in a completely opposite direction, riding the girl’s snow white stallion.

“Since you’re so rich, I will satisfy your willfulness!” Fang Zhengzhi hummed as he rode the stallion, kicking up clouds of dust along the way.

The youth saw it all from the window of his room.

His eyes widened considerably and his jaw dropped. He looked on in disbelief. As the brother of the girl, he felt like he should stop this.

But he did not…

In fact, he wanted to jump up and shout, “Well done!”

…

After some time in the hotel, the girl finally came out. The time was about right, Fang Zhengzhi probably left after feeding the horses.

He was indeed a hillbilly. How could someone like that be a match for sister Yan.

The girl smiled as she waved the reins in the air.

“Piak!” A crisp whip echoed through. Her smile became increasingly radiant. She thought she saw a black stallion with a bolt of purple lightning on its head appear in front of her.

“Purple Lightning, White Snow, what a match made in heaven!”

Her crisp voice rung out. Her golden braids bounced in the wind as she skipped her way to the stables.

She would never let her beloved stallion stay in such a run down stable.

“I’m sorry White Snow, once we’re back, I will feed you your favorite golden grass! I will also find you a good man, hahaha…”

The girl was incredibly excited as she bounded to the stable, her smile incredibly wide.

However, her smile quickly froze. There were only three horses in the stable, and none of them were her White Snow.

“Where is my White Snow?!”

The girl looked on in confusion. She looked around at the enclosures, “Why is my White Snow gone? Who stole my White Snow!”

.

Just as she fumed, her gaze fell on the caregiver at the corner of the stable.

She bounded lightly and arrived like a flame in front of the stableman. Her purplish red cloak flapped in the wind, revealing her intricately designed armor.

“Tell me, where did my White Snow go?”

“White Snow? What White Snow?!” The stableman was just feeding some of the other horses and was shocked by the question.

“Snow Jade, my Snow Jade!”

“Snow Jade?!” The stableman looked on in fear. He was keenly aware of what the Snow Jade was. There were less than five people in the entire city who were qualified to own such a fine stallion.

Coupled with her dressing, there could only be one person!

My god…

The stableman’s legs turned to jelly.

“No, I swear to god, I did not see any Snow Jade. I did not even blink from when I came in the morning. I swear I did not see it!”

The stableman fell to his knees. Tears streamed from his eyes. He was keenly aware that his head could roll with a single command from the girl.

“No? Did a hillbilly not bring my Snow Jade here to feed it?” The girl asked in disbelief.

“Just now?! No, I swear on my life!”

“If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you now!”

“I would not dare, I really would not dare! Even if I was the most courageous man on earth, I would not dare to lie to you!” The stableman raised his head and pleaded.

“Let him go, he is telling the truth. Snow Jade was ridden away by Fang Zhengzhi.” The youth finally appeared, slightly exasperated.

“What?! That b*stard took my gold… and my Snow Jade Stallion?!” The girl could not wrap her mind around that fact. Her crystal blue eyes were filled with disbelief.

In that instant, she remembered the snicker at the edge of Fang Zhengzhi’s lips. She had thought that he was smiling at the thought of easy money.

But now…

She knew that it was a smile of mockery, pure and unadulterated mockery!
