After treating the pathetic cat harshly, Yang Zhen, indeed, felt much better.
Ignoring the pitiful cat grooming its fur, Yang Zhen returned directly to the small woods, and said to the puzzled Wang Meiling, "I agree to your proposition..."
Wang Meiling's face lit up with joy, but before she could speak, she heard Yang Zhen's slow and leisurely voice came again: "What's in it for me?"
At these words, Wang Meiling was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. She looked at Yang Zhen enigmatically and said, "What do you want?"
Yang Zhen gazed deeply at Wang Meiling and thought to himself how adept this woman was at bargaining. He needed to handle her cautiously lest he fall into her trap – end up being sold without getting any benefits and then happily serve as her good luck charm.
