Chapter 97.1: Mysterious Old WomanOriginal and most updated translations are on volare. If this is being found anywhere else, it has been stolen. Dont support theft.

How did another person show up!?

Tang Doudou was a little stunned. Didnt Baili Yu say that mens footprints are rare in Azure Water Valley, and that other than Cang Baicao, only a few disciples and doormen were here? It was enough that an old beggar suddenly appeared, but whats with this old grannie showing up too?

Stinkin brat, why arent you saying anything? Could it be that you want to try and skip out on the debt? The one-eyed old woman saw that Tang Doudou wasnt speaking and slowly walked over. She looked at those fish that had been grilled golden brown and counted them. Upon finding that there were at least ten, her lips twitched. Youre seriously abominable, you actually caught this much!? Do you know how long this old woman has been raising these fish!?

The heck? What kind of situation is these? The fish in this brook werent wild ones but ones being raised by someone? Da fudge? Then why didnt they set any angling is forbidden indications!?

Um, old grannie, I didnt know that you were raising these fish. I thought they were wild ones However, those who were unaware didnt mean to offend. Grannie, please just forgive me. Tang Doudou scratched her ear. For some reason, she kept feeling that something wasnt right about this.

Before, the old beggar had at least used his gaze to stop the one-eyed old woman but now that the old woman and Tang Doudou were getting into a conflict, he resumed looking around and pretending to be a passerby.

Upon hearing what Tang Doudou said, the old woman gave a heavy and angry humph. Those who were unaware didnt mean to offend? Do you know that these fish have kept this old woman company like children? And now, youve How could I let it pass just with a sentence of those who were unaware didnt mean to offend?

How does Grannie want me to compensate? Just say it! Tang Doudou was a forthright person. If something could be said clearly, she definitely would not waste time jabbering on endlessly.

The one-eyed old woman gave another humph. Compensate? Can you afford to compensate?

Tang Doudou also became a bit annoyed now upon seeing that the old woman didnt seem to want to negotiate at all. In any case, this incident couldnt be completely blamed on her. Who would have known that the fish in this brook were being raised by someone?

Moreover, there were so many fish in the brook. There was at least a thousand. Its completely impossible to tell that there were about ten less fish. In addition, isnt it a little too exaggerated to say that all these fish were like children to her?

Could it be that she was purposefully here to pick faults?

As Tang Doudou was thinking, she happened to catch a trace of a scheming look in the one-eyed womans eye and immediately realized that something was fishy.

Grannie, if you dont say it, how will you know whether I can afford it? Now that Tang Doudou knew the opponent was picking fault with her on purpose, her tone immediately became tough.

If it was really her fault, she wouldnt try to make any excuses and would do what she needed to do. However, since the old woman was doing this on purpose, the old woman shouldnt blame her for being hostile!

A life for a life. Can you afford to compensate? The one-eyed old woman asked coldly.

Tang Doudou smiled. The lives of Grannies fish are sure expensive. However, Ive grilled so many of Grannies fish but only have this one life. Wouldnt it be a huge loss for Grannie?

Theres no need for you to worry about that.

That wont do, Im a person that dares take responsibility for her own doings. Since Ive slaughtered Grannies children, Grannie should kill me to avenge their lives. However, even after killing me Grannie would still be suffering a loss. I cant feel at ease with this. I feel that I cant die just like this. I must think of an idea that satisfies both demands perfectly!

Stop wasting words. This old woman doesnt understand your twisted logic. Just prepare to die! The one-eyed old woman only wanted Tang Doudous life. No matter that Tang Doudou said, her sole eye showed no interest. After she finished speaking, the walking stick in her hand pierced towards Tang Doudous chest like a sword.

She moved right after she spoke so Tang Doudou didnt have any time to prepare for the attack at all. However, even if she had time to prepare, it still would have been useless. After all, she didnt know any martial arts!

As Tang Doudou watched that walking stick approach at flying speed, she could only fall backwards pitifully. She managed to dodge it by an inch, but tripped over a rock and fell to the ground.

Old Grannie, if theres any issue lets lie down and talk about it in a civilized manner. Fighting and killing all the time is really bad ah! Tang Doudou was terrified, yet she had to act as if she was incomparably calm. Mah f*ck! Baili Yu and the others werent here so how was she supposed to deal with this life-demanding old demon lady?

And the old beggar at the side, would he be killed by the old woman in order to silence all witnesses?

Tang Doudou took a deep breath. However, before she could ponder any further, the old womans walking stick swung over like a windmill blade.

Tang Doudous pupils immediately dilated upon facing such an abrupt and fierce attack. She really wanted to dodge but her legs wouldnt budge, it was as if they were glued.

Tang Doudou could only watch with her eyes wide as that walking stick got closer and closer. In the end, she discovered with shock that the speed of the walking stick seemed to have dropped. It was like she was watching a movie scene in slow motion. She could clearly see the trajectory of that stick as it slashed through the air, causing little ripples of wind, and the gap!

Tang Doudous eyes lit up and she reached out lightning fast. Unexpectedly, she made contact with the walking stick that seemed very far away. There was only the sound of a bang and an extreme amount of pain transmitted from her hand. However, that walking stick was sent flying by her strike and rolled to the brook before falling in with a plop.

When the one-eyed old woman saw that Tang Doudou was able to break her attack with a single move, her facial color immediately underwent a huge change and she hastily retreated backwards. Without even retrieving her walking stick, she turned and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As Tang Doudou watched her flee hastily, she felt utterly confused. What the heck was that old woman trying to do!? She came right after she decided to come and now left again right after deciding to leave. Not to mention, she demanded her life right after deciding to demand her life yet now shes abandoning everything right after deciding she didnt want them?

Little yatou, are the fish ready? However, that old beggar just happened to have bad vision. He approached merrily as if he didnt see any of the events that just transpired and =was asking this while pointing at those fish that were crackling with oil droplets.

Tang Doudou rolled her eyes at him but didnt blame him. This old beggar was probably an ordinary person. He might even have some problems with his head so it would be normal for him not to understand what happened earlier. In any case, she didnt freakin understand what was going on either!
