Chapter 306 - 304: She Knows His Name?

Chapter 306: Chapter 304: She Knows His Name?

Yun Lie Ting froze, a crack appearing on his handsome face for the first time.

’She knows my name?’

He had originally planned to formally introduce himself and properly apologize to her.

But he never expected that she already knew of him—knew his name.

His eyes lit up. Hearing his own name from her lips sounded so pleasant.

A wave of joy instantly washed away all his awkwardness.

A light suddenly ignited in his dark eyes, and even the tense line of his shoulders softened slightly.

But after the excitement faded, he stood frozen, his brows knitted. He stared at Shen Yue in a daze, his pair of sharp, tiger-like eyes filled with utter confusion!

’What is fertilizing?’

Shen Yue watched him from a distance, the corners of her lips curling up involuntarily.

This man was exceptionally handsome, with sword-like brows, star-bright eyes, a high-bridged nose, and a sharp, clean jawline.

In terms of looks and bearing, he was in no way inferior to Mu Silin, Huang Ziyue, or any of the others.

He naturally exuded a sharp, kingly aura, mixed with a wildness.

Yet his personality was stubborn and unyielding, so his current dazed expression added a touch of contrasting awkwardness.

She stood up, a smirk playing on her lips.

"Do you know what ’fertilizing’ means?"

Yun Lie Ting looked a little embarrassed. For the first time, the tough man spoke in a slightly strained voice.

"I don’t."

The moment the words left his mouth, he instinctively felt ashamed.

He, Yun Lie Ting, the king of the forest whose name struck terror into all, who held the power of life and death, who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, before whom even ferocious beasts would bow their heads...

...didn’t know what "fertilizing" was.

His expression was like that of a dumbfounded tiger eager for knowledge. He looked at her, awaiting her answer.

In response, he heard her clear voice say:

"Fertilizing is hauling dung. Dousing the fields with manure!"

’What...’

’Fertilizing... is hauling dung??’

The man’s expression froze instantly.

His face turned shades of pale and green at a visible rate, as if he’d swallowed a bitter root. He looked utterly constipated...

He was a king whose power shook the region, an overlord forged in the flash of blades and the shadow of death. When had he ever done such a crude and filthy task as hauling and pouring manure?

The two White Tiger Clan subordinates behind him also looked constipated and dumbfounded, keeping their heads down without daring to make a sound...

’We’re doomed!’

’There’s no way our proud king would do this kind of work!’

Just then, Wubao, standing by Shen Yue’s leg, stared at Yun Lie Ting with a taut little face.

"Hmph, you big jerk, you dare to show your face here again!"

"My female mother is letting you fertilize the land. That’s letting you off easy. Are you going to do it or not?"

Yun Lie Ting had subconsciously been about to refuse, but his gaze met Shen Yue’s calm, yet unyielding eyes.

Then he saw Wubao’s little face, full of hostility and anger towards him.

Seeing the other children working in perfect harmony with their own Fathers, he clenched his fists tightly.

He remembered his recent resolve to contribute, and the refusal on the tip of his tongue was forcefully swallowed back down.

As if she hadn’t noticed his grim expression at all, Shen Yue casually pointed to a vacant plot of land nearby, her tone as natural as if she were instructing an experienced worker:

"The tools are over there. Go on now, and don’t delay the planting."

Yun Lie Ting’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times. His face alternated between pale and dark as he stood frozen for a long moment.

Finally, under Shen Yue’s calm gaze and the curious stares of the onlookers...

...he set his jaw, strode forward with stiff legs, and walked with a rigid back toward the pile of manure buckets and farm tools.

He didn’t look like he was going to fertilize a field; he looked like he was marching into battle.

Seeing the look on their Majesty’s face, the two subordinates almost shook with suppressed laughter...

’We thought the king was going to fly into a rage and storm off...’

’Who would have thought he’d actually bite the bullet and walk towards the manure buckets...’

’Look at that aggrieved, suffering expression. Is this really our king, the one who would rather die than submit?’

Yun Lie Ting stood before the manure buckets, an indescribable stench filling his nostrils. His brow was furrowed so tightly it looked like a knot.

Gritting his teeth, he reached out, picked up the shoulder pole, and stiffly hoisted the buckets...

His steps became unnatural; each one was like a form of torture.

Wubao stood before Shen Yue, his little face tilted up like a foreman.

"Big jerk, you better carry those carefully! Don’t you dare spill any, that’s fertilizer for the seeds!"

His authoritative-sounding warning made Shen Yue, standing beside him, want to laugh.

The surrounding commoners also watched the scene, wanting to laugh but not daring to. In their hearts, they were all filled with admiration for Shen Yue.

’Benefactor A Yue is truly amazing! Her Beast Husbands are all so powerful, and each one is more distinguished than the last!’

’Even this newcomer is so obedient, willing to do such a filthy job for them!’

Hearing Wubao’s voice, Yun Lie Ting’s feet froze.

It was as if the words had struck home.

He took a deep breath, steadied his shoulders, and made sure not to let the liquid manure splash out!

Seeing this, the other little ones all ran over to Wubao.

"WOW! Wubao, he really listens to you!"

"That uncle looks a lot like Wubao!"

"Wubao, is he your Father?"

"Was he the one who took you last time?"

"Did female mother beat him up too?"

The little ones were clever and knew, more or less, what had happened between Wubao and Yun Lie Ting.

After all, Yun Lie Ting had snatched Wubao away right in front of them last time!

Hearing his brothers’ curious questions, Wubao put on a proud expression, his voice cute but fierce.

"He is not Wubao’s Father! He’s a big jerk!"

"Female mother beating him up served him right! I bit him too, for bullying me!"

The little one’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but it carried perfectly to the ears of the dung-hauling Yun Lie Ting.

His feet froze once more...

’My son really has it out for me!!’

’SOB SOB SOB!!’

He didn’t dare to be careless and immediately steadied the manure buckets even more!

Hearing this, the other little ones all chimed in in agreement:

"That’s right! Anyone who bullies Wubao is a big jerk!"

"Wubao, let’s ignore him! Let him haul dung!"

"Mhm, if he dares to bully Wubao, Er Bao doesn’t like him either! Let’s all ignore him!"

The children’s united, indignant voices reached everyone’s ears, and the crowd couldn’t help but chuckle.

Even Mu Silin and Bai Chaosi cracked a smile.

But as Yun Lie Ting listened, his heart sank, and he became even more careful with his work!

He kept his head down, and while frowning, he began to scoop up the liquid manure and pour it on the fields.

He was even more serious about this than anything else he had ever done.

He was terrified of doing a poor job and being hated more by Wubao, scorned by Shen Yue, and, even worse, being outdone by Mu Silin and the others watching from the side.

A man’s competitive spirit had been ignited!

The sunlight fell on his tense back, clearly illuminating his awkward yet stubborn figure.

His movements were stiff and clumsy, yet surprisingly earnest.

Every scoop was poured with precision; every inch of soil was carefully tended to.

Watching his forbearing yet serious appearance, a faint smile quietly touched Shen Yue’s lips.

’This untamable king doesn’t seem so hard to domesticate after all!’

Meanwhile, Mu Silin and the others raised their eyebrows. This newcomer was quite obedient.

As for the two subordinates from the White Tiger Clan, they could only stare helplessly at their king’s miserable state...

’Who would have thought that their decisive and ruthless king would now be silently engaged in the task of hauling and pouring manure.’

’This is a scene they would never have dared to imagine. It’s so bizarre, and so hilarious!’
