Chapter 161 Conflict
'Boom. '

A thunderclap resounded through the sky, and a torrential downpour began, causing the newly repaired roof to leak.

"Oh dear, you were right."

Shi Nuanyu stretched out her hand, and raindrops splashed onto it.

"I haven't tried it yet, but is your mouth blessed? Wouldn't it be very convenient to take you wherever we go in the future?"

What a perfect weather forecast!

Before even trying, a smug smile played on his lips, his frustration vanished, replaced by a hint of joy.

"That's right, I'm the most reliable."

Looking at some people's arrogant attitude, Shi Nuanyu suppressed a laugh. She realized that she needed to praise them more when interacting with this particular person.
When he's happy, he naturally stops having a sour face all day long; such behavior is no different from that of a three-year-old child.

"How childish."

Before even trying, his secret delight vanished, and he gave a cold snort before continuing to feign sleep.

He shouldn't have believed the poisonous woman's words.

Fusheng took her hand and wiped the water off it.

"Don't catch a cold."

Completely unconcerned about her own health, Shi Nuanyu playfully stretched out her other hand, her icy fingers touching the man's face.

"Hehe, how could a little rain make me cold?" She clung to him, unwilling to let go, and watched his reaction curiously. "Is it comfortable?"

Fu Sheng remained unmoved, bound her hands, dried them, and led her back to Tao Huiyan's side.

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her cause trouble."

As he spoke, he switched to another medical book and continued reading. Shi Nuanyu took a closer look and recognized it as the one he had obtained by chance.

Tao Huiyan opened his arms and embraced her, but his hands refrained from touching her waist.

"Poor Nuannuan, your husband only has medical books in his eyes. How about you sleep peacefully with me, Tao, tonight?"

It seems tonight is his night of service, no wonder there is a blanket under him.

Shi Nuanyu didn't hold back at all. She took off her shoes, socks, and outer garment and lay down comfortably.

“Finally I can lie down,” she nudged the man beside her. “Go inside, Fusheng will be sleeping soon.”

Ah Ling and Wei Zengshi both slept on the roof beam; it wouldn't be right to let Fusheng sit there all night.

Tao Huiyan chuckled and teased, then moved back a few feet.

“Nuan Nuan originally wanted two people to serve her in bed,” he said, gently stroking her hair. “That’s worth a try.”

Shi Nuanyu pulled his hand and placed it down, then turned to face him without any hesitation.

You can't feel the slightest bit ashamed in front of this person, otherwise he will take advantage of any opportunity to push his luck.

Tao Huiyan was taken aback by her bold statement. Her bright eyes stared straight at him, making him feel at a loss.

In a short moment, he composed himself and followed her lead.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he took her soft hand and gently kissed her fingertips.

"so."

Shi Nuanyu's heart raced, and she abruptly pulled her hand back.

evildoer.

She heard a rustling sound of dry grass behind her, and before she could turn around, she was pulled into someone's arms.

"It's late, go to sleep."

She nestled obediently in Fusheng's arms, not daring to look at the man again.

With a loud bang, the gate of the post station was pushed open, and a group of people wearing straw hats rushed in.

There were about a dozen of them, men and women, all wearing weapons at their waists. Judging from their attire, they were a group of martial arts practitioners.

The leader, seeing that there were people inside, looked them over and bowed apologetically.

"Old Xu was unaware that there were people at the post station, and his behavior was rash. Please forgive him."

The men became wary, and a hint of displeasure flashed in Tao Huiyan's eyes. She picked up her outer robe and covered Shi Nuanyu completely.

Fusheng sat up unhurriedly, straightening his wrinkled clothes without paying attention to their plans.

The two boys on the roof quietly gripped their weapons, ready to strike at the slightest provocation.

The burly man, Old Xu, looked displeased after being given the cold shoulder and waved for the people behind him to sit down.

Shi Nuanyu pulled back the outer garment covering her head and secretly sat up to put on her shoes and socks.

"So they were hunting for food in the wild."

A burly man spoke with disdain, his disgusted gaze falling on the group.

A scream rang out, the burly man's straw hat was flipped off, and blood splattered from his mouth. Hua Lingyan landed gracefully, her gaze fixed coldly on the man.

A group of people stood up alertly and drew their weapons.

Old Xu was horrified and took a few steps back, completely unaware that someone was on the roof.

This person must be highly skilled in martial arts; he shouldn't make enemies while traveling.

After weighing the pros and cons, he bowed and apologized, saying, "Please show mercy, brave man. My subordinate has already been punished for speaking recklessly. Could we please let this matter drop and be resolved peacefully?"

Without even trying, he landed gracefully and spoke coldly, "If your mouth is dirty, just kill it. Why keep it around to cause trouble?"

He never insulted the poisonous woman, no matter what; this person cannot be allowed to live.

The sword in her hand flashed coldly, and Hua Lingyan threw a hidden weapon. The big man struggled for a moment and then died.

Veins bulged on Old Xu's forehead as he spat out two words fiercely.

"court death."

If this continues, the two sides will surely come to blows. Shi Nuanyu pried open her eyes and ears and spoke up to stop them.

"stop."

Her icy voice silenced everyone present, and Shi Nuanyu stared at them coldly.

"You dare to lay a hand on me after speaking so rudely."

She tried her best not to look at the burly man lying dead in the crowd, and mustered her courage to make herself look more imposing.

“You are no match for my husband.”

Old Xu's hand holding the broadsword trembled slightly. After a moment's thought, he bowed and apologized.

"I was rude and offended Miss. I apologize."

Thunderstorms raged outside the post station, and howling winds snapped branches in the woods.

Tao Huiyan chuckled softly and said lazily, "Madam, calm down. Let your husband give you a shoulder massage."

He placed his hand on her arm, kneading and coaxing her, "Look at your face, it's all cold. Don't stoop to the level of a rude江湖人 (jianghu person)."

Someone offered a way out, and Shi Nuanyu took the opportunity to speak.

"Ah Ling, Ah Shi, come back."

The two exchanged a glance, sheathed their swords, and sat down next to the three.

He had never tried, but the word "Ah, try" disturbed his mind, and he dared not look at the woman.

Old Xu swallowed his anger and, frustrated, ordered the two men to move the body out and dispose of it.

"The post station is bustling tonight."

Before they were seen, their voices were heard. A man and a woman entered the post station, breaking the silence. The woman looked around at the people as if she were watching a good show.

"Brother Yun, we've come at the perfect time."

Duan Jiuyun hummed in agreement and found an empty seat to sit down.

Ignoring his cold expression, the woman cast a curious glance at Shi Nuanyu.

"Young lady, you look strangely familiar?"

Shi Nuanyu was also observing her, and she could actually sense kindness in her.

She smiled faintly and asked in return, "Is that so? You are very beautiful, young lady. You look familiar. Are you from some family?"

The woman waved her hand dismissively, "My name is Yan Si'an. I'm not worthy of being called a young lady from any family. I'm just a commoner from the martial arts world."

As she was saying this, she tried to move closer to Shi Nuanyu, but Hua Lingyan pointed her sword at her throat to stop her.

"Hey, I think the girl is quite agreeable, why are you so wary?"

Shi Nuanyu walked over to the boy and sat down, pressing down on his hand.

"Ah Ling, Miss Si'an meant no harm. Please put away your sword."

Fearing the boy would worry, she quickly added, "I'll sit next to you and won't go over there."

Hua Lingyan obediently sheathed her sword to prevent her from reaching out and wrapping her arms around her waist.

Yan Si'an cast an amused glance at him, "You two are a perfect couple."

There was no point in hiding this relationship, and Shi Nuanyu openly acknowledged it.

"He is my husband."

Yan Si'an pointed to the man behind her, "And them?"

Shi Nuanyu admitted it without blushing or skipping a beat.

“They are also my husbands.”
