Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 233 The Fox Spirit (3)

"Little sister, you're awake?"

A soft, pleasant voice came from the side.

Luo Tianyi's expression changed. As a ninth-rank martial artist, it was truly unacceptable that he couldn't sense other people around him while awake. As if by instinct, Luo Tianyi suddenly stood up, and then...

Wow!
Large droplets of water slid down her smooth hair and delicate skin, creating a stunningly beautiful scene with her snow-white body and the crystal-clear water droplets.

It's a pity that such a beautiful view goes unappreciated, which is a real waste.

Luo Tianyi was taken aback, looked down, and then immediately squatted down to soak in the bathtub again. There was no way around it; even a ninth-rank martial artist couldn't avoid the instinct of shyness inherent in girls.

Hua Lianyue simply watched quietly, smiled, and walked to the bathtub. She picked up a brand-new towel, soaked it in the tub, and then placed it on Luo Tianyi's head. As the water droplets fell, some of the remaining dried bloodstains gradually dissolved and merged into the water.

Luo Tianyi was still a little confused.

She remembered that she had left Dingzhou City, but why had she suddenly lost consciousness, and why she was here again, soaking in water, with all her clothes gone... Although the blood-stained clothes were uncomfortable to wear.

And who is this woman?

She was wrapped in a strange bearskin, somewhat resembling the attire of a foreign race, but her face was stunningly beautiful—the most beautiful woman Luo Tianyi had ever seen besides her mother. Moreover, there was a strange sense of familiarity; she felt as if she had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.

"How are you feeling? I've examined you. There are no obvious external injuries, but there are a few bruises, which must have been caused by a strong slap!" The soft, sweet voice rang out again.

"I'm fine, just a bit depleted of internal energy. I'll be alright after a rest."

Responding in this way, Luo Tianyi frowned, that familiar feeling still lingering in her heart... Right, she had a dream, she dreamed of her brother-in-law, in the dream her brother-in-law seemed to be wearing a bear skin.

In the dream, there seemed to be another figure beside my brother-in-law, also dressed in a bearskin with a fox tail wrapped around his neck.

No, that wasn't a dream.

Luo Tianyi suddenly realized: "It's you, you're that vixen by my brother-in-law's side?"

Hua Lianyue was taken aback, but not angry. She placed her fingers on Luo Tianyi's shoulder and easily pressed Luo Tianyi down as he instinctively tried to stand up again: "A vixen? It doesn't really matter."

After all, he was her brother-in-law, and the man she had her eye on first, yet she had snatched him away.

Luo Tianyi gradually calmed down, her voice revealing coldness, hostility, and disgust that were completely undisguised: "Where is my brother-in-law? And who are you?"

"Ask your husband, he's with the Prefect of Dingzhou."

hiss.

Luo Tianyi took a deep breath, and her already pale face darkened even further.

What did this woman say... Husband?
How dare you call me "husband"?

She's provoking us, absolutely provoking us.

Fox spirit, fox spirit, fox spirit...

It's confirmed. She's a very annoying woman. We must get rid of her from my husband. We can't be as soft-hearted as we were with Yang Siyao. If this continues, there will be more and more women around my brother-in-law.

And brother-in-law, don't you even have this much self-control? Banxia, ​​Kongchan, Dieyi, Xueying and Yang Siyao, so many women aren't enough for you to ruin?
It's only been a few days, and he's already hooked up with another woman?
Luo Tianyi made up his mind to get rid of this woman. His brother-in-law couldn't have so many vixens around him. However, his strength hadn't fully recovered yet. He'd just have to wait a few days…

"As for me, my name is Hua Lianyue."

Luo Tianyi, who was just about to calm down and recover his strength before driving the fox spirit away, was taken aback: "Ancestor of the Hehuan Sect?"

"it's me."

The impulse to drive this woman away that had just risen in Luo Tianyi's heart was as if it had been doused with a bucket of ice water.

Hua Lianyue, a grandmaster-level expert, how could she expel a grandmaster-level expert?

real or fake?

Luo Tianyi has a competitive spirit; if she were to encounter a grandmaster-level expert, she would definitely want to fight them at least twice, perhaps even gaining some insights. However, no matter how proud Luo Tianyi is, she knows that she absolutely cannot defeat a grandmaster-level expert at present.

She fell into a brief silence, biting her lower lip lightly, her expression surprisingly a little aggrieved.

"I heard that you are suffering from cold poison."

"That's it."

"Has the cold poison been neutralized now?"

"I've solved a little bit, but I'll probably have to trouble you again, sir."

She felt even more wronged.

Obviously I was the first...

Unlike Luo Tianyi's aggrieved expression, Hua Lianyue maintained a smiling demeanor throughout. Although she stood behind Luo Tianyi, helping to clean the bloodstains from Luo Tianyi's head, she could roughly guess Luo Tianyi's expression.

"Sister Tianyi..." Hua Lianyue addressed her openly. At her age of over thirty, it wasn't a problem for her to call Luo Tianyi "sister." "Do you like your husband?"

Luo Tianyi's face suddenly turned pale: "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

“That’s my brother-in-law, how could I… fall for him?”

As the conversation progressed, the voice inevitably trailed off.

“If you like someone, you like them. What’s the big deal?” Hua Lian Yue didn’t care about such so-called ethics at all. “I don’t know if my husband likes you too, but I can guarantee one thing: you, his sister-in-law, are very important to him.” Luo Tianyi’s pale face flushed slightly, as if he was happy and shy.

"At least he's much more important than me." Hua Lianyue laughed self-deprecatingly. "My husband probably doesn't have much affection for me. I just need him to dispel the cold poison in my body, and he also wants to abduct a grandmaster-level expert, so he accepted me."

Hua Lian Yue has simply been in seclusion for too long, but that doesn't mean she's stupid: "In this respect, it's more like a transaction, which sounds rather unpleasant."

"In the few days I've spent with my husband, I've often heard him mention your name."

Hua Lianyue's voice was as soft and sweet as before. Luo Tianyi didn't even notice that her aversion to Hua Lianyue had quietly decreased. On the contrary, she was even more delighted by what she heard from Hua Lianyue, and she even found Hua Lianyue more pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps it was because the water was too hot, but her cheeks were flushed: "Really?"

"Of course, would I lie to you? He said before that although I'm not bad-looking, I'm far inferior to his sister-in-law. At first, I didn't quite believe it, but seeing my little sister's cute appearance, even I'm starting to fall for her." As she spoke, Hua Lianyue reached out and gently pinched Luo Tianyi's face.

Luo Tianyi's lips curled into a smile: "Sister is not bad either."

Hua Lianyue's smile deepened.

A little girl.

Take advantage!

……

It was noon.

Song Yan finally broke up with Jiao Junze.

The dishes at Xihe Restaurant weren't as delicious as Jiao Junze had described. They were mainly heavy on salt, which might have suited Jiao Junze's taste better.

Looking down at the ten taels of silver in his hand, Song Yan still clearly remembered Jiao Junze's pained expression, especially the way he urged him to remember to pay it back, which Song Yan found hard to believe.

He was, after all, a governor of a prefecture.

They recently ransacked the Fan family, reaping hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Is it really worth it for just ten taels of silver?
Song Yan didn't rush to the small courtyard behind the Xihe Restaurant. Instead, he went to a carriage rental shop first to hire a carriage and a driver. The shopkeeper was initially happy to have business, but when he heard that they were going to a new place, he shook his head like a rattle-drum and refused to go no matter what.

After all, there were Jurchen barbarians over there, which was too dangerous.

However, there is nothing in this world that cannot be agreed upon. What is called "cannot be agreed upon" is simply that more money has to be paid.

When the price was raised to four taels of silver, the shopkeeper finally agreed.

Afterwards, he bought some pastries, dried fruits, and other things, and took the two sets of women's clothing with him before heading towards the backyard of Xihe Restaurant.

Song Yan could hear some noise coming from a guest room, so he went over and knocked on the door.

"Come in……"

It was Hua Lianyue's voice.

Song Yan reached out to push the door open, but just then, another voice rang out: "Don't..."

The voice sounded a little flustered; it was the sister-in-law's voice.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Squeak.

With the sound of the hinges rubbing together, the door was slowly pushed open, and a pair of eyes looked into the room.

The next moment, the most beautiful scenery in the world silently came into view.

That skin,
Her demeanor is refined and virtuous, her skin delicate and her figure well-proportioned!

That body,
Her waist was like flowing tassels reflected in the twilight, and her legs were like jade rings adorning her rainbow-colored dress!
Those little feet:

Her skin was round and smooth, six inches long, and she wore white silk embroidered slippers with red lining!
……

Everything froze in that moment.

Song Yan stood at the door, motionless.

Luo Tianyi stood frozen in place, holding the long blue silk dress that Hua Lianyue had just bought.

As for Hua Lianyue, she stood aside with a smile, seemingly finding the scene before her quite amusing. Despite being the patriarch of the Hehuan Sect, she seemed to possess some rather peculiar and wicked sense of humor.

This eerie yet enchanting atmosphere lasted for a long time.

Finally, as Luo Tianyi slowly covered her chest with her long dress, the silence was broken.

Song Yan swallowed hard, placed the two sets of women's clothing on the spot, silently turned and left, then slowly closed the door.

Once outside, Song Yan took a deep breath.

Looking up at the sky, the blazing sun hangs high.

Today is a good day.

I wonder if my mother-in-law would tear me apart if she heard about this?
