Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 541 Call Me Brother-in-Law (5,000 words)
"Do you think something might have happened to the thirteenth prince?"

"He's been gone for quite some time now."

The bright moon hangs in the sky, its silvery light scattering down, making the night less dark.

The dam cuts the Tongjiang River in half, and the inside is filled with accumulated river water. Even with the reflection of the moon and stars, it remains dark and gloomy. No one knows how deep the inside of the dam is. Most of those who tried to explore it are already dead, and perhaps their bones are still buried in the silt.

However, one can imagine that once the dam is breached, the long-accumulated river water will rush down like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly swallowing everything downstream.

Neither Song Yan and his five thousand elite troops, nor the villages located downstream, could survive.

Such methods are somewhat contrary to natural law and morality.

But these six fat men were clearly not the type to treat ordinary people as human beings. In their eyes, breaching the dam and drowning Song Yan to avenge their mother was the most important thing; as for the others, they were simply unlucky.

The one who spoke was Lao Jiu.

In addition, there are the second, third, sixth, seventh, and tenth brothers, as well as the thirteenth brother who went out to investigate Song Yan's movements.

They have dozens of brothers.

Each one of them had such a large and obese physique.

As for the skinny ones, there used to be some, but they're all dead now.

"Can't you guys wish me well for once?" A slightly dissatisfied voice came from the darkness. Looking up, one could see a round, plump silhouette in the night.

Upon approaching, who else could it be but the thirteenth prince?

"How's the situation over there?" The second brother finally opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

“We can’t kill Song Yan tonight.” The thirteenth brother shook his head: “That guy doesn’t plan to cross the river tonight, and the place where we set up camp is still far from the river. Even if we breach the dike and the flood spreads, it’s impossible to sweep Song Yan away. We can only wait until tomorrow.”

Several people looked somewhat dissatisfied.

This Song Yan is truly cunning.

Having followed this route, the seven fat men felt they had slimmed down considerably. Unexpectedly, after finally arriving at the Tongjiang River, Song Yan still wouldn't give them a chance; they would have to wait until tomorrow.

"Thirteenth Brother, when you went to keep watch, were you discovered?" The Second Brother nodded and asked in a deep voice.

"Second Brother, don't worry. You know my abilities. Although I can't compare to you brothers in a direct fight, when it comes to concealing my aura, even you brothers are no match for me. Song Yan only ordered his soldiers to set up camp in the mountains and forests and ordered some soldiers to guard the surrounding area. Although there were scouts, there weren't many of them, and their detection range wasn't too far. They didn't find my location." The thirteenth brother said with a hint of pride, "They will never know that we are lying in ambush here, ready to give them a fatal blow at any time."

His ability to conceal his presence was always his greatest source of pride.

"Very well then. In that case, let's rest here near the dam for the night, and then breach the dam when Song Yan crosses the river tomorrow." The second brother's voice was filled with smugness and arrogance: "At that time, the flood will rush down, and no matter what tricks Song Yan has up his sleeve, he will be swallowed by the fish... Hehehehe..."

The second brother, in a daze, seemed to have already seen Song Yan being swept away by the flood, and let out a strange laugh.

The other brothers had different expressions. To be honest, the second brother's laughter was really unpleasant. It sounded like that of an old womanizer with a hoarse voice. But the second brother thought that his laughter was classy. He had been reminded several times, but he refused to change it no matter what.

"By the way, someone needs to keep watch during the rest period. Thirteenth brother, I'm counting on you for this as well." After laughing enough, the second brother said to the thirteenth brother again.

The thirteenth man shuddered, a strange flush rose on his face, and his chest was filled with resentment.

Damn.

Why do I have to do all this hard work?

The thirteenth brother ultimately said nothing. He was powerless against his brothers, so he had no choice but to obey. Watching his six elder brothers find a flat spot to lie down and rest, the thirteenth brother pursed his lips, spat where no one could see, and slowly swam downstream.

Speaking of which, I inexplicably ran into Luo Tianxuan when I was buying baked flatbread.

Hopefully, I won't run into anyone during this night watch.

Probably not!
Song Yan's soldiers didn't even notice him; he couldn't possibly be that unlucky.

Thinking this, the thirteenth prince's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

……

the other side.

Two figures left the camp and headed upstream.

One of them was Song Yan, and the other was Luo Tianyi.

Zhang Han's words served as a reminder to Song Yan, and coupled with Luo Tianshu's warning that several aristocratic clans were plotting to assassinate him, Song Yan had to be on guard. The soldiers were quite exhausted from their long journey, so Song Yan decided to let them rest. He originally planned to go upstream with Luo Tianxuan, partly to gather intelligence, and partly to get some fresh air and relax. With a grandmaster like Luo Tianxuan by his side, he wasn't worried about his safety.

Unexpectedly, Luo Tianxuan used the excuse of feeling unwell to push Luo Tianyi over. When he first arrived at the Luo family, Luo Tianyi was always by his side, responsible for his safety. However, as Luo Tianxuan's tuberculosis healed and Hua Lianyue appeared, the number of times the two of them acted alone like this seemed to be decreasing.

Song Yan even vaguely felt that the two of them were not as close as they had been at the beginning, as if there was an invisible barrier between them.

In the stillness of the night, neither of them spoke.

The only sound was the crunching of my feet as I stepped on the withered branches and fallen leaves.

Luo Tianyi walked slightly ahead. She seemed to really like white. When Song Yan first met her, she was wearing a snow-white long dress, and she was still wearing it now.

The night breeze blew by, and her skirt swayed and fluttered.

He held a long sword in his arms, his jet-black hair fluttering in the wind.

Like a fairy from a painting!
Song Yan pursed his lips, stepped forward, and reached out to hook Luo Tianyi's waist.

She remains as slender as ever.

Beneath the slightly thin fabric, one can clearly feel the smoothness and warmth of Luo Tianyi's skin.

Luo Tianyi's body trembled slightly, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks, but she still struggled slightly in Song Yan's palm: "Let me go."

A low muttering is hardly intimidating.

Song Yan, with his thick skin, naturally paid no attention to Luo Tianyi's slight resistance. Instead of letting go, he tightened his grip even more, until Luo Tianyi's tall and slender body was almost entirely leaning against him. Luo Tianyi's body immediately went limp. Knowing she couldn't escape, she stopped struggling, puffed out her cheeks, and rolled her eyes at Song Yan.

For a lady, rolling her eyes would be quite unseemly, but Luo Tianyi was just too beautiful, so even this undignified action had a touch of playfulness.

"Hmph, hugging his sister-in-law, shameless." Luo Tianyi snorted and cursed under his breath.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore." Song Yan smiled, reached out and ruffled Luo Tianyi's little head, making her neatly combed hair a little messy: "Who upset you?"

Recently, Luo Tianyi's unusual behavior has become quite noticeable.

Luo Tianyi's little head broke free from Song Yan's palm, and she glared at Song Yan angrily: "You."

"Me?" Song Yan was stunned. This answer was truly unexpected. He carefully considered the recent events, but he couldn't find any memory of offending Luo Tianyi: "How did I offend you? I don't even know?"

"You've gotten your aunt pregnant."

puff.

Cough cough... cough cough cough...

These words really startled Song Yan.

Good heavens, I didn't expect even Luo Tianyi knew about it.

Did Luo Tianxuan tell her that?
But that's fine too. Now that everyone knows, it saves me the trouble of explaining things one by one.

Song Yan had already given up, like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water.

He blinked: "Just because of this?" "You also did that kind of thing with Sister Gao Yang..." Luo Tianyi's cheeks turned even redder, her voice barely audible. She had accidentally discovered the affair between Song Yan and Gao Yang. That time, she had come to find Gao Yang for something, but who would have thought that as soon as she arrived at the door of Gao Yang's bedroom, she heard a strange sound coming from inside.

Out of curiosity, I peeked through the crack in the door.

Then she saw her brother-in-law sitting on the edge of the bed, while Gao Yang was kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped to his chest.

And then this and that.

God knows how much psychological trauma that scene caused Luo Tianyi.

Looking down at her chest, Luo Tianyi's expression revealed a hint of grievance. She probably could never do that kind of thing in her life.

No wonder my brother-in-law took a liking to Luo Yuheng and Gao Yang; both of them have great figures… Thinking this, my grievances turned into sorrow.

Luo Tianyi had also secretly consulted the female doctor, having heard that drinking milk was effective. Now, she drinks a cup every morning and a cup every night, but it has had no effect whatsoever.

Song Yan's breath hitched; she hadn't expected Luo Tianyi to even know about her relationship with Gao Yang.

Could it be that Luo Tianyi was angry because he was too fickle? Scratching his hair, Song Yan didn't know how to coax a woman at this moment, after all, not everyone is as gentle as Luo Tianxuan.

Just as Song Yan was hesitating about how to begin, Luo Tianyi suddenly raised her head, her small face looking somewhat angry: "You said you would marry me outside the Dongling Imperial Palace, so why do you now prefer to go find my aunt and Gao Yang, but never... never... never..."

He came several times, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say next.

For a girl who is only nineteen years old, it is truly too shameful to ask her to say why you have never touched me.

Fortunately, Song Yan was quick-witted and almost immediately understood the meaning behind Luo Tianyi's words. She wasn't angry, but rather angry because she had never touched Luo Yuheng or Gao Yang.

When a woman as beautiful as a fairy uttered such words with shyness and timidity, Song Yan felt as if a flame had suddenly risen in his chest and abdomen.

A savage and domineering thought surfaced in Song Yan's mind: In this chaotic era, is a man who still hesitates and looks back?

Without answering Luo Tianyi's question, Song Yan tightened his arm again, and Luo Tianyi let out a soft moan as her entire delicate and soft body pressed against Song Yan's chest. Before Luo Tianyi could figure out what was going on, Song Yan lowered his head and captured Luo Tianyi's lips with his own.

Waaaaah... Waaaaah...

A slightly strange sound, but unfortunately Luo Tianyi's lips had been sealed by Song Yan, so she couldn't make any normal sound at all. Only her small hands were gently pounding on Song Yan's chest, as if she was struggling... but the strength of this struggle was getting weaker and weaker, and at some point, she had even quietly wrapped her arms around Song Yan's neck.

They reluctantly parted ways only when the oxygen in their chests was almost depleted.

Silver threads form a bridge, connecting them all.

Luo Tianyi's pretty face was already flushed red, and her big, dark eyes were captivating and alluring.

Her little head rested on Song Yan's chest, and she breathed softly, "Husband..."

Luo Tianyi gently pinched Song Yan's arm with her small hand: "Pah, shameless pervert."

Holding the woman in his arms, Song Yan inexplicably saw the white-clad figure in the cave outside Ningping County: "I have a question for you."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know there's a cave outside Ningping County, right next to the Yi-Luo River...?"

Before Song Yan could finish his question, he saw Luo Tianyi's expression suddenly change drastically. In the next instant, she pushed Song Yan's chest with her small hand, turned around instantly, and with a clang, her longsword was drawn. Moonlight shone on the blade, and a cold glint flashed like autumn water.
"Who is it? Get out!"

A delicate shout rang out in the night sky.

Her previously flushed face had long since returned to normal.

His cold eyes were fixed on the dense forest beside him.

Immediately afterwards, a flapping sound was heard, and an owl flew out of the forest.

Even so, Luo Tianyi's eyes remained cold, and the murderous intent surging around him showed no signs of abating, but instead grew even more intense.

Song Yan also frowned deeply. Could it be that someone is really hiding here?

At this very moment, in the dense forest not far away, a fat figure was trembling... Who else could it be but the thirteenth prince?

His bulky body seemed to be desperately trying to squeeze behind a large tree, but unfortunately he was just too fat. Even though the tree might have been there for hundreds of years, and an adult man couldn't possibly hug it with outstretched arms, it was still far from enough to hide his entire body behind it.

The moonlight shone on his chubby face, making half of it appear deathly pale.

His hands still smelled bad.

He was just following his brothers' instructions to keep watch near Song Yan's camp. Who would have thought he would run into Song Yan and Luo Tianyi?

Damn it, what are those two lunatics doing out here so late at night instead of sleeping?

Having an affair?
Okay, so it really is an affair. They're even kissing each other. What else could it be but an affair?

If it were just Song Yan, the thirteenth brother might have simply rushed out of the woods and killed Song Yan on the spot. After all, Song Yan's aura only indicated a seventh-grade martial artist, while the thirteenth brother, at the eighth-grade level, could easily kill Song Yan without even giving him a chance to cry for help.

But if Luo Tianyi is added, then it will really be a disaster.

He was no match for a ninth-rank martial artist.

Although this woman's strength is not as great as Luo Tianxuan's, her personality is far more ruthless. If Luo Tianyi suspects that she came to assassinate Song Yan, she will probably cut off her head on the spot.

Damn it, it's all that owl's fault.

If this guy hadn't suddenly pooped a bunch of bird droppings on his neck and he hadn't instinctively reached out to wipe it off, he wouldn't have been discovered by Luo Tianyi.

There was no way he could get out; if he did, he would surely die. He wanted to run, but he could feel that Luo Tianyi's aura had locked onto him. If he made any move to escape, he would be met with Luo Tianyi's sword light, which was like a storm of swords!

Luo Tianyi was not a very patient person to begin with. Seeing that the person in the dense forest did not come out, Luo Tianyi curled up a cold smile, touched the ground with her toes, and her white dress fluttered in the moonlight as her figure flew past close to the ground. In the blink of an eye, she had arrived in front of the dense forest.

A slight tremor of the wrist.

With a hiss, the longsword ripped forward.

The sharp sword energy transformed into a crescent-shaped arc.

laugh!
Trees as thick as bowls were instantly cut down.

The thirteenth prince's eyes, as big as soybeans, stared wide-eyed as he watched the crescent-shaped sword energy draw ever closer, his eyes filled with deep fear. Eighth rank, ninth rank—he knew the gap between himself and Luo Tianyi was simply too vast; even if he fought with all his might, he had no chance of defeating Luo Tianyi.

The sharp sword energy almost pierced the thirteenth brother's eyes.

Despite his bulky appearance, the thirteenth brother was surprisingly agile. Just as the sword energy was about to tear open his throat, he suddenly lowered his body, and the sword energy barely grazed his scalp as it passed by.

Several trees behind him were cut down at the same time. With a series of cracking sounds, the trees fell and chaos ensued in the dense forest. If he hadn't dodged quickly, several tree trunks would have hit the thirteenth prince directly on the head.

Luo Tianyi didn't care about any of that. She strode towards the thirteenth brother, who was exposed to the moonlight.

With each step, the thirteenth prince felt as if his chest was being trampled, and his fat trembled. Just as he was filled with fear, he inadvertently caught sight of Song Yan behind Luo Tianyi, and his beady eyes lit up.

He was no match for Luo Tianyi, but dealing with Song Yan would be a piece of cake.

As long as Song Yan is under control and a hostage is in hand, no matter how powerful Luo Tianyi is, what can he do to us?
He is really too smart.

But what is Song Yan doing holding that dark, black fire poker?

Could that be his weapon?
呿！
What decent person would use something like this as a weapon?

He's got Song Yan wrapped around his little finger; no one can stop him, that's what his thirteenth brother said!
