Chapter 320 – When Young and Thin in Spring (3)
For those from average families, they could only savor a bit of meat during festivals or important occasions. Most of the time, it was just an old hen raised at home. They couldn’t even afford to buy pork at the market, let alone feast on big game meat!
The audience in the live stream was in an uproar as they watched Jiang Pengji skin two tigers and divide their meat right there on the scene.
【Rabbit Sky Dance】: Host, do you know? If you did this here, you’d be summoned for a cup of tea!
【Potato Beef Rice Bowl】: Wild animals are national protected species now! Doing this? Forget tea, you might just catch a bullet! But in the host’s world, if you can hunt, eat up! No problem there.
【Old Driver Alliance】: Hahaha, are they criticizing the host for not loving animals? She doesn’t even love people—make her angry, and she could show you a head!
【Farmer Spring Water Is Suspicious】: Just a bunch of outraged keyboard warriors! Haven’t they seen the host ignore them for years? The more you pay attention to them, the more they jump! If the host wasn’t in another dimension, and instead face-to-face, they wouldn’t even dare to let out a sound!
【Dining Hall Auntie】: They just can’t stop being self-righteous, using their own thought patterns to judge someone from another world. Didn’t they see the live stream clearly? Those two tigers have harmed many people! The host killing them is saving lives! As for skinning and selling meat, do they think the chicken, duck, and fish they eat are veggies?
【Where’s My Wallet】: Instead of blasting away here, why not search what “fur” really means? A bunch of self-righteous saints!
As that viewer sent their message, tons of insults and follow-up attacks came flooding in.
In the audience’s dimension, folks were outraged even by a festival featuring dog meat, so considering the live stream where tigers were hunted and skinned—cutting up the tigers’ corpses to share with the common people for dinner—was utterly unacceptable.
Cruelty! Inhumane!
【A Pair of Bamboo Chopsticks】: I can’t bear to watch this! I’ve never seen such a cruel butcher! Hunting animals, do you have a heart?!
【Animal Protection Association】: Skinned? So cruel! Isn’t the country advocating that without trade, there’s no killing? Why has this dog-food-like live stream been allowed to go on so long without being shut down? Already reported!
【A Bunch of Grapes】: Abusing animals will have its retribution! Wishing the host’s whole family drops dead, sons turning eunuchs, and daughters… well, you know!
【The Host Is a Pig】: A filthy animal, this trashy host should just die!
【Host Is Trashy】: Die!!! Die!!! Die!!!
These insults were just the mild ones, with far more offensive sentiments that were utterly unmentionable.
Jiang Pengji simply couldn’t be bothered to respond, much less argue back.
Just like other viewers said, the more you engage these clowns, the more they hop about.
Jiang Pengji had always dealt with this coldly, or rather, her mind wouldn’t even register these worthless insults. However, her fans wouldn’t let it slide and immediately retaliated in the live stream, turning the chat into chaos.
A viewer who had followed the stream for over three years admired her mindset.
【Pepsi】: Suddenly super impressed by the host’s mental resilience. With online violence getting worse, how many glamorous public figures have fallen into depression due to public pressure? The host has been cursed by keyboard warriors for over three years and still maintains such a good attitude.
Jiang Pengji was busy packaging the already cut meat to distribute to the curious common people when she caught a glimpse of this comment and smiled.
【Host V】: It’s not that I have a good mindset. Actually, my temperament is quite poor. The reason I don’t argue back is that they haven’t fully evolved yet. Why should I care about the words of a bunch of subhuman creatures? And if the poop in the toilet smells up the place, would you step in it or bite it? The best solution is to flush it away. Why bother with it?
Also, since we’re in different dimensions, if it was face-to-face, who would dare say anything to her? She could make their whole family shout “dad”!
Naturally, Jiang Pengji’s audacious words struck a nerve with the haters.
One by one, they just couldn’t help but watch her live stream 24/7, bombarding her with the most offensive words they could muster.
Jiang Pengji calmly finished distributing the meat, even giving away the bones for the citizens to take home and make soup, completely ignoring her critics. As for the two intact tiger skins, she would take care of those properly.
She placed the skins on her horse, Big White, and leisurely rode home.
She had acquired a modest compound near Langya Academy, making it convenient for her daily schooling or visiting relatives.
“Young Master is back!”
As soon as she reached the door, it swung open, and a doorkeeper dressed in brown linen stepped out.
She tossed Big White’s reins to the doorkeeper. “Hmm, Big White ran quite a distance today. Make sure to feed it some good horse hay.”
Big White seemed to understand her words and happily whinnied, trying to nuzzle her.
“Rest assured, I’ll take care of it right now.”
“By the way, for these two tiger skins, find a skilled artisan to process them well. I plan to give them to my little sister as a wedding gift.”
Although tiger skins weren’t particularly expensive, the two she had skinned were in excellent condition, with bright fur—truly a rare find.
Even gifting them to Liu Zhi, the bastard daughter, wouldn’t be embarrassing. Saying that her legitimate brother was looking after his younger sister would also sound good.
The doorkeeper nodded, taking it seriously, not daring to be the least bit negligent.
Jiang Pengji hummed a light tune, feeling quite cheerful.
“Ta Xue, are the gifts ready?”
Just as she entered, Ta Xue came out, a light sheen of sweat on her forehead.
“Everything is prepared, and the gifts for the second lady are all packed.” Ta Xue, dressed in simple attire, had blossomed into an even more beautiful young woman, displaying a mature charm. “Young Master, after your hunt, would you like some hot soup for a bath?”
“Not just yet, I’ll wash up later.” Jiang Pengji took Ta Xue’s napkin and wiped her face, saying, “Wu Ma Jun has been increasingly favored by the Official Master over the years, practically becoming the emperor’s most cherished son after the Crown Prince. The court officials have their eyes on him. If my younger sister is to become his legitimate wife, the Liu family can’t slack off. As for the wedding gifts, while they don’t have to be extravagant, we can’t let anyone laugh at us…”
In ancient times, a woman’s dowry was accumulated from birth, but that bastard daughter’s birth mother was just a lowly concubine. What good could she possibly have? The stepmother had opened the household’s storage and selected quite a few nice items for her, but many important pieces still needed to be arranged.
