Along the way, Qian Sishui walked in front while the female giant followed with Fatty Wang. The little fatty had already completely adapted to the feeling of being carried by the giant.

“Huwa, raise me up a little. I think there are wild grapes there.”

Fatty Wang pointed at the tree above his head and shouted. He could not help but drool.

The female giant couldn’t communicate with normal people. Fatty Wang asked, “What’s your name?”

“Huwa,” she answered.

Fatty Wang asked, “Huwa? Then Huwa, where is your home?”

“Huwa.”

The young man then asked, “Huwa, how old are you?”

“Huwa.”

He tried another question. “Huwa, where did you come from?”

“Huwa.”

“Huwa what did you eat growing up?”

“Huwa.”

The little fatty was rendered speechless. Didn’t she know anything else?

Fatty Wang completely broke down.

Seeing that Huwa and Wang Jiaxun were getting along quite well, Qian Sishui thought that it was about time to go back. But what was she supposed to do with the giant?

Fatty Wang thought to himself, ‘She’s already given me a mental breakdown. What do you mean we’re getting along well?’

The sun was about to set but they had not spotted any prey. All they had was another basket of medicinal herbs.

“Huwa, we’re going home. You should go back too.”

Wang Jiaxun tidied his clothes and realized that there didn’t seem to be much to tidy up! They had all become cloth strips.

“Home?”

Huwa didn’t understand what a home was. All she had was a cave.

“Home is where you live.”

When Fatty Wang saw that Huwa was wearing clothes made of tiger skin, he thought to himself, ‘You’ll have to kill four to five tiger to get this skin.’

Huwa thought for a moment. Did that mean that the cave was her home?

“Say, you’re a woman. Are you stupid? Why do you call yourself Huwa? Shouldn’t you should call yourself Huniu?”

Qian Sishui walked in front while Huwa followed. No matter what Wang Jiaxun said, the giant did not give a different response.

“Nice smell.”

Huwa bent down and sniffed Qian Sishui, looking dumb.

“Master, run!” The giant was going to eat her!

Qian Sishui was helpless. If she didn’t leave now, the sky would turn dark.

Wang Jiaxun was also helpless. If they brought the giant back, the villagers would be scared to death.

If they didn’t bring her back, it would be too tiring to fight her.

“Master, why don’t we bring her back?” He couldn’t bear to leave Huwa alone here in the dark.

Qian Sishui had no choice but to turn around and go down the mountain.

She couldn’t kill someone for no reason, right? Besides, Wang Jiaxun was here.

Seeing that it was already dark and Qian Sishui had not returned home, Shi Jinhua was anxious.

This woman was really worrying him! It was so dangerous in the dark mountains!

Holding the torch, he headed to the mountains with the Wang family’s servants to search.

“Young Master, Young Master.”

Wang Yang was crying! If the young master was missing, he was as good as dead!

Shi Jinhua was anxious and walked faster until he heard,

“What are you screaming for? I’m not dead!” How annoying!

Fatty Wang, who heard the shout from halfway up the mountain, roared.

“Young master, my young master!” The servants had almost been scared to death.

When Shi Jinhua heard the sound, he quickly ran up the hill.

From afar, he saw Qian Sishui carrying the herbs. He was so angry that his eyes turned red. “Have you become fearless? It’s so late and you still don’t know to go home?”

The servants quickly took the basket and surrounded Wang Jiaxun to ask about his well-being.

“What if something happened to you?”

The moon was already up, yet they had just returned! Everyone was so flustered that they were about to go crazy.

The young scholar hugged his wife and asked, “Can you get home before dinner in the future?” If there had been no one around, he would have spanked her butt!

Qian Sishui was so frightened by the sudden forceful hug that she forgot to react.

Feeling the sound of the man’s heartbeat against his heart, her heart was in turmoil.

“Ah! Monster!”

Huwa walked out of the shadows, scaring the servants so much that they fell to the ground.

Shi Jinhua didn’t know what to say. He only looked at Huwa in a daze.

That was too… big, wasn’t it? He was so shocked that his mind couldn’t process what was going on. More importantly, why was that giant staring at his wife?

Alarm bells rang in Shi Jinhua’s head as he shielded his wife behind him.

“What do you want to do?” Shi Jinhua looked up and asked, but his neck was a little sore.

“Huwa.”

Fatty Wang cursed in his mind, ‘This damn Huwa…’

“This is Huwa. We met her in the mountains and she insisted on following us. Let’s hurry down the mountain.” His legs were weak.

“Young Master, why is she so tall?” Would she be able to get married?

“You’re asking me? How should I know?” It was obvious that Huwa was a wild child.

It was dark. When they entered the village, everyone was at home and no one saw Huwa.

Early the next morning, the construction team was the first to get a glimpse of the giant following behind Qian Sishui. They forgot all about the food in their mouths and stared unblinkingly at Huwa.

“Ah! Monster!” It was definitely a monster!

Master Xu slapped his worker. “Don’t spout nonsense. She’s just tall.”

The man who was slapped looked at the giant Huwa. ‘She is too f*cking tall!’

When Huwa went out and saw so many people, she was terrified. She followed Qian Sishui and did not dare to leave.

After Shi Jinhua found out that Huwa was a woman, he had no feelings other than how she had Qian Sishui all to herself!

Especially after hearing Fatty Wang say that Huwa was awesome, Shi Jinhua was tempted! He thought to himself, ‘I’m usually not at home, and Sishui’s the only one at home. She likes to run into the mountains. With such a capable person at home, I’d feel much more at ease.’

This idea seemed good and reliable, but he looked at the bucket in front of him, and then at Huwa, and then at the bucket.

Scholar Shi was going crazy. That giant could really eat! He stared at Huwa’s mouth. That was all money!

He couldn’t help but think of how he would go poor because of Huwa’s. In the end, he might even fall into Huwa’s trap and be eaten!

Shi Jinhua grabbed his hair and looked at Huwa helplessly. “What a sin!”

He roared at the sky.

What would he do in the future if she ate so much?

After thinking for a long time, he decided to look for Fatty Wang. He definitely could not afford to raise this fellow himself.

Otherwise, his heart would be bleeding every day! He kept feeling that whenever he saw Huwa, he would hear the sound of money flowing away.

“Ah…” An involuntary sigh came from the construction site opposite.

Huwa lifted the beam that required four to five adult men to lift.

When Master Xu saw this, he was excited. If she helped with building a house, they could increase their speed exponentially! However, when he thought of Huwa, who ate with a bucket, Master Xu thought to himself, ‘Forget it. Actually, it’s not bad to not have Huwa on my construction team.’

At that moment, Li Kui’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. This was a downright capable person!

Just like this, Huwa earned her first hardcore fan, Li Kui!

“Sister, you’re so strong!” Li Kui gave Huwa a thumbs up!

Qian Sishui thought of how Huwa looked especially tall even when she sat down in the straw hut yesterday.

Hence, she suggested to Master Xu to build a room for Huwa alone.

When Shi Jinhua heard this, he said, “Make the kitchen door higher.”

Qian Sishui thought for a moment. There was nothing to object to. This Huwa couldn’t possibly not know anything.

Shi Jinhua thought about it and looked for Fatty Wang to think of a way to get Fatty Wang to find a good chef to teach Huwa to work in the kitchen.

At the very least, she would be able to cook for herself. Shi Jinhua would be the first to disagree if Qian Sishui were to cook.

At this moment, Fatty Wang, who was slumped on the chaise lounge and eating grapes, felt a chill run down his spine.

Wang Yang, who was massaging Fatty Wang’s feet, felt his young master tremble.

“Young Master? Do you want to pee?”

Wang Jiaxun frowned. ‘What does my shivering have to do with peeing?’

Fatty Wang’s face was as white as a steamed bun, his mouth was red, and his short hands were chubby.

“I’m going to stop eating. I want to lose weight!”

“Young Master, it’s a blessing to be able to remain this size!” Wang Yang hurriedly said.

“Do you want it then?” Hmph, there were many people in the capital who mocked him in private.

“I’m just a servant. How can I be as blessed as you? Don’t flatter me.”

At this moment, the nanny came in with pig trotter soup. She was trembling when she walked!

Fatty Wang was afraid that the pork trotter soup in her hand would spill out.

The soup in her hand swayed as she walked, but not a single drop came out up until the moment she walked right up to Fatty Wang.

When Wang Yang saw this, he said to his young master, “Young Master, do you think Nanny knows martial arts? She never ever spills the soup.”

Nanny Jiang was 70 years old and could no longer hear well.

When she saw Fatty Wang laughing, she said, “Little Young Master, quickly drink it while it’s hot! It’s peanut and pig trotter soup!”

“Nanny, I want to lose my fats!”

‘Peanut pig trotter soup? Why didn’t you cook steamed papaya in milk? I’m a man! I’m not in confinement after child birth!’

Nanny Jiang said, “What fat? This pig trotter isn’t fat. These are just the tendons!”

“Young Master said he wants to lose his fats!” Wang Yang shouted into the nanny’s ear.

He tilted the nanny’s ear and listened hard. “Huh? You think it’s fat too?”

Wang Yang had no response to that.

‘Just ignore us…’ he thought.
