Chapter 1156 - 1161: Green with Envy (1)
Xiang Yun was truly too proud of herself, as though all the grievances and anger she had suffered over the past two months had been vented out. When she saw Mo Zili repeatedly looking frustrated, she couldn’t express how relieved she felt inside!
"There are three types of animals: spiders, dragonflies, and cicadas, totaling 18. They have 118 legs and 20 pairs of wings in total. How many of each kind of insect are there?"
After Xiang Yun asked, Mo Zili immediately furrowed his brow and fell into deep thought, his slender hands fidgeting. He even looked a bit dumbly cute, which was a stark contrast to his usual indifferent appearance.
After a long while, he admitted defeat, his face flushed as he said, "How many?"
"Tsk!"
Xiang Yun let out a light laugh, picked up her teacup leisurely and took a sip, then said nonchalantly, "Spiders have 8 legs; dragonflies have 6 legs and two pairs of wings; cicadas have 6 legs and one pair of wings. So, the final answer is five spiders; seven dragonflies; six cicadas."
No sooner had she finished than Mo Zili started checking her answer on his fingers, and after confirming she was correct, his handsome face showed a hint of defeat.
Watching the man’s expression, Xiang Yun was extremely pleased with herself. She silently revered Cai Wei several times in her heart and made up her mind to have someone check Mu Mansion again to see if there were similar books. She decided she would read them carefully, intending to suppress this man’s arrogant manner thoroughly!
"Ah, such questions may be too difficult for you. I’ll ask you something more suitable for you!" She put down the teacup, wiped her mouth unhurriedly, and ignored Mo Zili’s darkening face, continuing with her question: "There’s a monkey riding on the tree and one on the ground. How many monkeys are there in total?"
