Shen Ningning couldn't be bothered with him and walked straight ahead.
Lai Zi followed close by.
"Little Ningning, why are you ignoring me? Given our ages, it's only right that you call me 'uncle.'"
"Ah, whatever, I won't stoop to arguing with a kid. I have something to tell you. Will you just listen for a moment?"
Shen Ningning still ignored him.
The Black Wolf King watched Lai Zi with a fierce gaze, making him afraid to take another step closer.
So, Lai Zi had to resort to shouting, "I know Uncle Liu and his crew have been fixing up your house lately!"
"Look at me, I'm young and strong. I can help you too! Plus, I know carpenters in the city who are way better than anyone in our village!"
"If you're willing, I can act on your behalf. With my connections, I can get you a fair and cheap price!"
He had barely finished speaking when the gate to a nearby courtyard suddenly swung open, and a bucket of slop came splashing out.
