Chapter 675: Chapter 335: No Woman in His Heart
Sometimes, Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but suspect that certain people were fated to be entangled with him from birth.
It was as if fate had bound them together, no matter how much he tried to shake them off.
Take, for example, Young Master Fang from the Fang family.
Whenever he tried to find him, he was impossible to locate and seemed practically dead.
But when he stopped looking for him, the man would suddenly appear, alive and kicking.
The first person to spot Fang Ziheng was Qu Hongling, who had stepped out of the carriage for some fresh air. He was lying stiffly in the roadside grass, and had it not been for Qu Hongling’s sharp eyes, he might never have been found.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Shouzhong dressed and stepped out of the carriage to investigate.
Although Fang Ziheng was covered in blood, he hadn’t lost consciousness completely and still retained a trace of awareness.
The moment Fang Ziheng saw Jiang Shouzhong, he was utterly stunned.
This was because Jiang Shouzhong had already removed his mask.
"Young Master Fang, small world, isn’t it? This must be the second time I’ve saved you. You’d better make a note of this favor—next time Famous Sword Villa has some treasure, remember to save me a share."
Jiang Shouzhong said with a smile.
Fang Ziheng shifted his gaze to the two women nearby, Yelü Miaomiao and Qu Hongling, and suddenly figured things out.
He tried to struggle to his feet but couldn’t move, his face full of shame.
"So, it was Master Jiang who helped me in Minzhou City. I remember being disrespectful to Master Jiang in the Capital. If not for Senior Yan’s guidance, I might have created a terrible mistake. Master Jiang, you help me without harboring resentment, and it makes me deeply ashamed."
Jiang Shouzhong waved his hand. "Enough of the formalities. I’m not an official of Dazhou anymore."
He threw Fang Ziheng a healing pill and asked, "By the way, where’s your little attendant? Got eaten by a snake demon?"
"He—"
Fang Ziheng swallowed the pill and was about to respond when a childish voice mixed with sobs suddenly came from nearby: "Master, save me!"
Jiang Shouzhong looked up and his eyes instantly widened.
Soon after, his face lit up with joy.
"Niuniu!"
In the distance, in the woods, stood a massive golden cow far larger than a normal green ox.
It was none other than the cow demon Jiang Shouzhong had previously captured into the Zodiac Map!
During the wedding, Jiang Shouzhong had released the cow demon to save Qu Hongling, but because Zhao Wuxiu had appeared, he hadn’t been able to retrieve it in time.
Jiang Shouzhong had thought the cow demon was dead.
After all, once a demon left the Zodiac Map, it would inevitably die if it couldn’t receive nourishment from the map’s spiritual power over a prolonged period.
He never imagined that after all this time, Niuniu would still be alive.
The cow demon was holding a young boy in its mouth—or rather, it was gripping the child’s clothes.
The boy was Fang Ziheng’s newly recruited little attendant.
Mistaking the terrifying golden cow demon for a predator planning to eat him, the child struggled desperately, crying and sniffling, tears and mucus streaming down as he repeatedly screamed for Fang Ziheng to save him.
"Guo!"
Fang Ziheng’s expression changed as he gripped his sword tightly, ready to force himself to rise.
Jiang Shouzhong pressed down on his shoulder. "Don’t worry."
Jiang Shouzhong strode toward the cow demon.
The latter, upon seeing its master, remained calm, without the slightest sign of excitement. It merely stamped its hoof and snorted twice, terrifying the young attendant into further screams.
Jiang Shouzhong patted the cow’s horns and said with a chuckle, "Niuniu, it’s good to see you alive."
The cow demon released the boy, letting go of his clothes, and lowered its head to nuzzle Jiang Shouzhong, letting out a low moo.
Before Jiang Shouzhong could get emotional, Niuniu turned around and began to relieve itself.
Uh...
Jiang Shouzhong felt thoroughly embarrassed.
The now-freed young attendant ran to Fang Ziheng, trembling furiously. "Master, Little Guo thought I’d never see you again."
Fang Ziheng stroked the boy’s head, offering some comforting words, then looked up at the baffling scene before him.
"Jiang, this cow demon..."
Jiang Shouzhong explained, "She’s my pet."
Pet?
Fang Ziheng froze, his expression turning slightly awkward. "So it seems Brother Niu was saving us. I’ve misunderstood her."
Through Fang Ziheng’s recounting, everyone learned what had transpired.
Apparently, they had been attacked by a snake demon earlier, and at the critical moment, the cow demon had appeared and dragged them away.
Fang Ziheng had initially thought the cow demon was planning to eat them and tried to escape. After several attempts to resist, he’d angered the cow demon, causing it to toss him aside and carry the boy away.
Perhaps it had sensed Jiang Shouzhong’s presence nearby, so it had emerged.
Jiang Shouzhong clicked his tongue in amazement. "Young Master Fang, what sort of luck do you have? Not only did I save you, but even my pet saved you. You probably won’t repay this debt even in your next life."
Fang Ziheng bent over and bowed deeply. "Jiang, your great favor is something I will never forget as long as I live. Whatever you command in the future, Fang Ziheng will walk through fire and water without hesitation."
Hearing that only Jiang Shouzhong was being thanked, Niuniu grew instantly unhappy, snorting indignantly.
Luckily, Fang Ziheng wasn’t entirely oblivious. He realized the cow demon was quite sentient and quickly offered his gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Niu, for saving my life. I am deeply grateful."
Niuniu seemed pleased, lifting her head to let out a moo.
But upon second thought, she realized she was an old female cow. Being called ’Brother Niu’ clearly wasn’t appropriate, so she glared with her big bronze eyes and flicked her whip-like tail to express her discontent.
Fang Ziheng looked puzzled and perplexed.
The young attendant beside him was much quicker on the uptake and promptly shouted, "Thank you, Sister Niu, for saving my life!"
Fang Ziheng suddenly understood and bowed again. "Thank you, Sister Niu."
Niuniu seemed appeased and let her anger dissipate.
Yelü Miaomiao and Qu Hongling, both naturally fond of animals, had initially been indifferent to the giant cow. But seeing how prideful and endearing the creature was, they started doting on her, reaching out to stroke her here and there.
