Chapter 12 Live Eating Books

• "Miss Shangguan, just because you have nothing to do doesn't mean I have nothing to do. What exactly do you want?" Ye Fengwan turned her head and looked at Shangguan Yuer with a helpless expression.
• "I... I'm not doing anything, I just want you to put the book down!"
• Ye Fengwan narrowed her eyes and said frankly, "To be honest, Miss Shangguan, I was punished to copy books, so I came to buy 'The Book of Women's Teachings'. Are you satisfied with this reason? If you are, please ask your dog to move aside and stop blocking the way, alright?"
• What a naive and ignorant girl living in an ivory tower!
• Shangguan Yuer finally smiled with satisfaction, "I knew it, so you were punished. However, you are not allowed to take this book away, I'll buy it!"
• She finally caught an opportunity to embarrass Ye Fengwan, and of course, she couldn't let it go easily.
• Seeing her continue to pester, Ye Fengwan frowned and became a little annoyed.
• A tiger does not show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat, Miss Shangguan?
• "Miss Shangguan, can we get to the point? How can I leave?" Ye Fengwan asked impatiently.
• Shangguan Yuer smirked and thought to herself: Of course, I want to embarrass you!
• "How about this, if you... if you can recite any page from 'The Book of Women's Teachings', I will give you this book for free. Otherwise..."
• "Otherwise what?" Ye Fengwan asked anxiously, pretending to be worried.
• Seeing Ye Fengwan's guilty look, Shangguan Yuer couldn't help but roll her eyes and smirked.
• "Otherwise, you have to kneel down and kowtow to me, and say 'Miss Shangguan, I was wrong'."
• Ye Fengwan remained calm and composed, but inside, she rolled her eyes at the suggestion. Is that all?
• "What if I can recite it?"
• At this moment, Shangguan Yuer became a bit arrogant and waved her hand, saying, "If you can recite it, you can set any condition you want!" I don't believe you can do it!
• Ye Fengwan frowned and looked at Shangguan Yuer, "Are you sure you'll agree to any condition I set? Are you sure you want to bet with me?"
• Shangguan Yuer smiled calmly and was about to nod.
• "Yuer! Don't bet with her!" Shangguan Suer grabbed Shangguan Yuer's wrist, wanting to stop her. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy. The Ye Fengwan in front of her seemed different from the one who used to be timid and always teased by them. She was worried that Yuer would be at a disadvantage!
• "Sister, don't worry! So what if we bet? Since this useless person wants to save face, I will make her lose face! Let her be even more embarrassed! Come on, as long as you can recite it, I'll let you do whatever you want!" Shangguan Yuer gritted her teeth.
• "Are you really sure? You won't back out?" Ye Fengwan asked again.
• "Of course I'm sure, are you afraid? If you're afraid, then leave the book with me!"
• Ye Fengwan nodded and turned back to the bookstore, standing opposite Shangguan Yuer.
• "Why are you afraid? Since Miss Shangguan has already set the stakes, let me state my requirements. If I can read this entire book of 'The Book of Women's Teachings', then Miss Shangguan, please... eat this book in my hands..."
• "Just copying books? You can say whatever you want, how many times do I have to copy? One hundred times, or two hundred times?" It's just copying books, it won't be difficult for her.
• Ye Fengwan's bright eyes scanned the crowd, and finally landed on Shangguan Yuer's smirking lips.
• "Copying books is too ordinary, let's make a fresh bet."
• As Ye Fengwan spoke, she winked at Shangguan Yuer.
• Her confident and radiant demeanor was completely different from her previous timid and fearful self.
• Shangguan Suer felt a tightness in her chest and hurriedly held Shangguan Yuer's wrist. "Yuer, we have other important matters to attend to. Let's discuss this later."
• Oh no, they fell for it!
• Shangguan Yuer was also feeling uneasy and thought that Ye Fengwan was acting strange. She wanted to follow Shangguan Suer's lead.
• However, Ye Fengwan responded strangely, "Oh... if you have important matters, why waste so much time? I wonder what important matters you have, Sister Suer?"
• Upon hearing Ye Fengwan's ambiguous tone, Shangguan Yuer became furious.
• "Let's just bet, I'm not afraid of you! Sister, don't worry about me. I don't believe she can suddenly learn how to read overnight. Ye Fengwan, tell me, how do you want to bet!"
• "If I can read this entire book, I'll ask Miss Shangguan to... eat it."
• Ye Fengwan said it casually, and Shangguan Yuer and her sister's faces turned pale upon hearing it. The onlookers, on the other hand, became excited.
• "Eat the book?"
• "Yes, eat the book! If I lose, I will eat this book in addition to fulfilling Miss Shangguan's request. How about it? Will you bet or not?"
• Shangguan Yuer's face looked unpleasant, and seeing Ye Fengwan's confident expression, she wondered if she had been too impulsive.
• But at this moment, the onlookers became enthusiastic.
• "Don't be afraid, Miss Shangguan, bet with her!"
• "Yes, Miss Shangguan, we support you!"
• "Miss Shangguan, hurry up and bet with her. Let us see what it's like for a fool to eat a book."
• Faced with the cheering crowd, Shangguan Yuer pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed.
• She couldn't refuse, with so many people watching, she had to consider her reputation.
• "Alright, let's bet."
• "Yuer! You..."
• "Sister, please don't say anything. It's already like this now. Do you think I can still show my face if I don't bet? Don't worry, Ye Fengwan must be bluffing to make us give up."
• Shangguan Suer sighed and held Shangguan Yuer's wrist tightly.
• They could only hope for the best.
• On the other side, Ye Fengwan's slender fingers had already flipped open the book, and with that, a clear voice rang out!
• "I am ignorant and dull, lacking in talent, but I have been favored by the kindness of my elders and the teachings of my mother and teacher. At the age of fourteen, I started working for the Cao family with a broom, and it has been more than forty years since then."
• Her voice had a unique charm, pleasant to the ears, and a bit soft and tender. After listening to it, one would feel very comfortable. Very few people could recite such an old-fashioned book so beautifully!
• At this moment, Shangguan Yuer's face turned pale, listening to Ye Fengwan reciting word by word. Her hands clenched into fists, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead! It's impossible! How could this useless person know how to read? She must have read it all wrong! With that, she rushed over and snatched the book from Ye Fengwan's hands. As she checked it word by word, her face turned ashen!
• "To ensure fairness, I won't deceive you. Let the witnesses among the people see if I have misread a single word. If I have, I will live-stream myself eating the book, just as you wish!" Ye Fengwan raised an eyebrow and glanced at her.
