Mountain and sea lantern

Chapter 570 Sister-in-law
Now that this situation has suddenly arisen, Shi Chun thought for a moment and still sent a message to confirm: Keep your word?

The woman in red curled her lips into a disdainful sneer, replying casually with a hint of teasing: "I'm honest with everyone, young and old, and I'll never break my word."

Shi Chun immediately perked up. He felt that the other party was certain that he couldn't bring the person over so quickly. With such an opportunity to take advantage, he might as well take it. He immediately replied boldly: It's a deal!

After ending the call, he immediately went to find Dong Liangyu, who was carrying a pile of books and putting them back in their proper places on the bookshelves.

He offered to help, taking the book from Dong Liangyu's arms and following closely beside her, doing odd jobs. Of course, he also had to say something, hoping that she wouldn't let her family know he was there.

What could Dong Liangyu say to her family? She didn't utter a word when Shi Chun hid here last time.

The woman in red in the lobby walked out from behind the counter, went back to her room, closed the door, found a spot, and transmitted her voice remotely: "The target should leave Jukuzhou in the first half of the night. Investigate any unusual activity in the Xunmen area thoroughly."

She had always been puzzled about how the target entered the Divine Mountain Formation. Could there be some trickery involved in entering and exiting through the Xun Gate? Given the current strict control over entry and exit through the Xun Gate in Juku Continent, she didn't think anyone could get past it.

She wanted to see what other tricks her target could pull.

If she didn't need to use the other party's hand to do things, she might have directly arrested and interrogated the target.

If it weren't for unraveling the mystery of how to enter and exit the divine mountain's grand formation, she wouldn't have started engaging in endless banter with her target, especially since her target seemed to be entangled with the demonic path again.

As night fell, the library lobby became completely quiet, and Dong Liangyu went downstairs to the backyard to have dinner with his family.

Li Hongjiu, who was reading upstairs, also took out his sandalwood flame lamp for illumination, found Shi Chun, and asked in a low voice, "What does this mean? Why won't you let me show my face? What exactly did you send me here for?"

Shi Chun said softly, "Wait a little longer. I'm doing this for your own good. The cook in this family is really not a good cook. I've put up with it for over a year. Now that you've shown up, they'll definitely invite you to the table. With so many books to read, you won't be lonely. Read first, and I'll figure out the situation later."

Li Hongjiu was highly skeptical of this statement, and pointed at him as a warning, "You'd better not mess with me."

"No, no." Shi Chun waved his hands repeatedly, but he had another plan in mind. He was in a hurry to play his cards now, but what if that woman didn't admit to it?
Li Hongjiu was unaware of his current role. The surrounding collection of books certainly kept him from feeling lonely, and he even considered lingering for a while. He then turned back to continue browsing the books.

As the city lights illuminated the city, dinner in the library's backyard ended, and the woman in red went to her room to rest as usual.

After closing the door this time, he did not break through the void and leave. Instead, he leaned back on the couch and pretended to sleep, wanting to see whether the news from the target side or the news from the Xun Gate would arrive first.

But before long, what they heard first was the sound of the door bolt being turned.

Before the incident, she hadn't heard any approaching footsteps, which was very unusual. Lying on the bed, she suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp as she stared at the door bolt that had just automatically opened.

The door opened a crack, and a figure quickly slipped in, then swiftly closed the door behind them.

The woman in red slightly raised her hand and then put it back on her hip. She was familiar with that figure. There seemed to be no one else who would dare to break into her bedroom and walk silently.

That's why she was so surprised and uncertain. Here it comes?
"It's me." Shi Chun turned around and whispered to her, rubbing off the dead skin on her face to reveal her true appearance.

Then, immediately, like an old married couple, they walked to the bed and were about to sit down.

Practice makes perfect, and as if she had anticipated this, the woman in red raised her foot to kick.

This woman's hits really hard. Shi Chun reflexively took a step back, pointing at her feet and saying, "You think about me several times a day, is this all you think about?"

The woman in red calmly replied, "Thinking about it is one thing, but that doesn't mean I can let you do whatever you want."

Shi Chun questioned, "What do you mean? You're not keeping your word, are you?"

The woman in red sat up cross-legged and demanded, "Where is Li Hongjiu, the person you promised?"

"What's the rush? Didn't we agree to meet before midnight?" Shi Chun said as he moved closer, eventually sitting down on the edge of the couch, about an arm's length away from the other person. He tested the other person's reaction, and seeing that the other person didn't make a move, he leaned closer and asked, "First, tell me if what you said before still stands?"

The woman in red feigned ignorance and asked, "What are you saying?"

Shi Chun immediately glared at him and said, "Are you pretending to be confused? You said that if you invited Li Hongjiu before midnight tonight, you would agree to be my woman, but now you're going back on your word?"

The woman in red gave a nonchalant "Oh," and said, "Did I say I wouldn't honor it? The prerequisite is seeing the person first. This isn't child's play; how can I agree to something without seeing the person?"

Shi Chun countered, "What if you change your mind when they arrive?"

Woman in red: "You really don't trust me?"

Shi Chun then countered, "Then why don't you believe me?"

The woman in red was puzzled. "When did I say I didn't believe you?"

With the flowers right in front of him, within easy reach, Shi Chun, whose heart was at ease, looked at the other woman's beauty. His nature couldn't help but stir, so he moved closer and said, "You have to be my woman first. If you become my woman, I promise I'll bring Li Hongjiu over within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

As he spoke, he reached out and slowly took the red-clad woman's hand and began to touch it.

The woman in red looked surprised and suspicious. Her first thought was, could it be that Li Hongjiu was already inside Dazhi City? Her second thought was that her hand had already fallen into the other person's hand and been touched by him. She subconsciously tried to pull away, but Shi Chun held on tightly and did not resist much, letting him touch her.

The thoughts swirling in her mind had already rejected the idea that Li Hongjiu was already in Dazhi City. If Li Hongjiu left Yanbao Sect, the spies there would definitely send out the news immediately, and she would receive the news right away.

What she didn't know was that although Qu Wuming, the sect leader of Yanbao Sect, often beat and scolded his unreliable closed-door disciple, he actually cared about him quite a bit. When Li Hongjiu went down the mountain, she gave him instructions to disguise himself and sneak down the mountain.

In order to cover up the fact that Li Hongjiu had already gone down the mountain, Qu Wuming arranged for people to stay in Li Hongjiu's courtyard, creating the illusion that Li Hongjiu was still there to deceive his fellow disciples.

Even Li Hongjiu herself was unaware of these matters.

The woman in red was naturally unaware of this, and thus her judgment quickly went astray.

A little thought reveals that Li Hongjiu is still in the Yanbao Sect, and under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for her to arrive here within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

If it really appears within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then there is only one possibility.

Her bright eyes suddenly fixed on Shi Chun. Could it be that this guy really has someone behind him who can shatter the void?

You could count the number of people with that kind of ability on your fingers. Who could it be?
With her strength, as long as she pays attention, she can sense any instances of shattered void within a certain range.

The Big Dipper Spirit Repelling Array, the Demonic Path, those who shatter the void…

A series of thoughts flashed through her mind, and she was becoming more and more excited, wanting to see who it was.

Her gaze swept across the scene, then swayed. Shi Chun wasn't satisfied with just touching her hand; he reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, gently pulling her down onto the couch. He then pressed down on her, kissing her fair neck and cheek as their necks met.

Just as he was about to kiss her lips, the woman in red's eyes flickered, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to have gone a bit too far with her kiss, so she blocked his mouth with her hand.

Well, she didn't get to where she is today because of any kind of purity. There are some things she cares about, but sometimes she doesn't care too much and it all depends on her own needs.

But she still blocked Shi Chun with her hand, preventing him from going any further, and stared at his face, which was very close to hers, and said, "Okay, I'll agree to be your woman first. Can you bring Li Hongjiu now?"

His surface was all smiles, but the cold indifference in his eyes was as if he were looking at a dead man.

Seeing that she had agreed, Shi Chun didn't stand on ceremony. He casually reached out and touched her thigh. Just as he reached her buttocks, the woman in red grabbed him with her other hand, and then pushed him away with a flip.

Caught off guard by his infatuation, Shi Chun nearly fell to the ground.

The woman in red, feeling insecure, quickly got out of bed, straightened her clothes, and coldly warned, "If you like me, learn to respect me first."

Shi Chun, who had gotten up and stood properly, said in a serious tone: "Ruo Jun, if I do not respect you, with your cultivation level, you cannot stop me from using force."

"..." The woman in red was speechless. Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's change the subject. "Let's get down to business first. I hope you're not lying to me."

"I like you so much, I would never lie to you." Shi Chun said shamelessly, then sat down in front of the dressing table, applied some face cream in front of the mirror, then took out a gauze hat and put it on her head. After that, she took out a mother-child talisman and sent a message to Li Hongjiu, asking him to come downstairs to the backyard.

The woman in red, who was watching, guessed that he was sending a message to the intermediary who was relaying the message, or directly to the expert who had shattered the void.

As her hidden perceptive power spread out in all directions, she was soon stunned and realized that there were two people in the library. She knew that Fu Que was still there, but who was the other person coming downstairs?

Suddenly, someone wrapped their arms around her waist. Startled, she quickly raised her hand to block a mouth that was about to kiss her face, as the veil of a veil was lifted.

If she can't kiss him, then she can't kiss him. Shi Chun didn't force her and patted her lower back. "Come on, Li Hongjiu is here."

He let go and ran straight to the door, opened it, peeked out furtively, and then slipped out.

The woman in red quickly went to the door and looked outside. She saw Shi Chun running to the back door of the octagonal building to greet the person who had just come downstairs.

The person coming downstairs was Li Hongjiu. He saw the light at the door and the woman in red standing by the door. He realized that Shi Chun must have just come out of that woman's room. If it hadn't been so short, he would have suspected that the two of them had done something.

Shi Chun also pointed at Li Hongjiu, pointing it out to the woman in red at the door of the room. The meaning was clear: See, I kept my word, the person has arrived.

The woman in red, who was facing away from the light, suddenly changed her expression. She realized that there might be a problem with the information coming from the Yanbao Sect, which had led to her misjudgment. Thinking of the hugging and embracing earlier, her expression turned ugly.

But she still went out and into the courtyard, blocking the two of them. After staring at Li Hongjiu for a while, she asked in a low voice, "Are you really Li Hongjiu?"

“This…” Li Hongjiu scratched her temple with one index finger, “Is it necessary to impersonate someone? May I ask your name?”

Shi Chun, behind the veil, smiled and said, "Her name is Ruojun. Brother Jiu, you can just call her 'sister-in-law' in private."

Isn't this already a confirmed relationship?

Li Hongjiu responded with an "oh," and immediately cupped his hands in greeting to the woman in red, saying, "Sister-in-law."
