Chapter 35 Transactions
Li Ang asked softly, "What’s the story behind that tiger with the hanging eyes and a white forehead?"
Hiding within his body, Chai Cuiqiao answered, "Originally, he was a man-eating beast from Jingyang Ridge. After falling off a cliff, he luckily dropped into a hermit’s cave from the Tang Dynasty and acquired some legacy. Since then, he stopped eating humans and renamed himself ’Tai Gezi’."
Some bloody Tai Ge. Dude, are you sure you didn’t wander onto the set of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf by mistake...?
"What about the One-eyed Giant?"
"He’s a half-breed. His mother was a descendant of the ancient Fengshi clan of giants, and his father was a frail scholar."
"?" Li Ang was taken aback. He gestured vaguely at the size of the One-eyed Giant. "This could be a mixed breed?"
"It’s not what you’re thinking... His father, when young, went to the capital for the imperial exams and sought shelter from a downpour in a cave."
After a moment of silence, Chai Cuiqiao awkwardly continued, "As it turned out, his father was quite skilled with his hands. During his idle time sheltering from the rain, he pulled out a sketchbook. After the rain stopped, he left the cave and continued on to the exams."
"..." Li Ang’s eye twitched. "You mean..."
"Exactly," Chai Cuiqiao said uncomfortably. "You better not mention this to the Giant in person. At the last banquet, he killed a bunch of Monsters with a wooden club."
