Zheng Chi stand up straight and looked at him.
"What"

"How about we make a deal I'll share my fish and wine if you cook and tell me a story I'll also protect you from the beast that lurks here" the man offered.

"I see what a sorrowful story then how about this for the delicious fish and the great patient I'll help you" the man said
"The only way you can help me is if you marry me" Zheng Chi said dozy
"Fine but excuse me if I'm not use your custom I'm new here" he said
