Chapter 55 Strange Village

"Shishi, don't be like this~"

The morning sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.

Xu Mo lay on the bed, drooling and talking in his sleep.

Tang Shishi nestled in Xu Mo's arms like a kitten.

Talking in his sleep, Xu Mo drooled, which meant it must have been a sweet dream.

"what!!!"

A sudden scream shattered Xu Mo's sweet dream.

Xu Mo struggled to open his eyes. What had happened?
Snapped!
A crisp slap landed on Xu Mo's face.

This made Xu Mo much more sober.

"Xu Mo! What happened last night?"

Tang Shishi's sharp voice pierced Xu Mo's eardrums, and only then did he see Tang Shishi in his bed.

Last night? You were about to eat me alive last night, and you're asking me what happened? Xu Mo thought to himself.

Seeing that Xu Mo didn't speak, Tang Shishi actually started to cry.

"Waaaaah, I remember feeling really hot and uncomfortable yesterday, and I really wanted to hug you..."

Seeing that Tang Shishi was crying, Xu Mo hurriedly explained what had happened yesterday.

Tang Shishi stopped crying after this explanation, but her face was redder than a monkey's bottom.

"You mean, I took the initiative yesterday?"

The sound of Tang poetry is as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"You could say that..."

Xu Mo scratched his head awkwardly.

"So you just went along with it half-heartedly??"

Tang Shishi looked at Xu Mo, her voice even softer.

To be honest, it's not that she can't accept being with Xu Mo, but she has to wait until she's ready.

And what's more, she actually forgot how she felt last night—her first time!

"Ahem, I would never take advantage of someone in distress."

Xu Mo cleared his throat and spoke righteously.

Tang Shishi breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange sense of disappointment welled up inside her: He didn't even touch me! I was in that state, and he managed to resist touching me! Does he not love me?

Xu Mo had no idea that Tang Shishi had so many inner monologues, so he patted her bottom and said, "Alright, get up now, I'll go buy you breakfast."

After saying that, Xu Mo got up quickly, washed his face, and went out to buy breakfast for Tang Shishi.

"Steamed buns, fresh, big meat buns~"

"Fried dough sticks, soy milk, fried cakes~"

"Osmanthus cake~ Osmanthus cake~"

Early in the morning, the sounds of vendors calling out their wares filled the small village.

This traditional village has become so commercialized that it's unrecognizable.

"Boss, one steamer of xiaolongbao, two cups of soy milk, and two pieces of osmanthus cake, please."

Xu Mo stood in front of a vendor and began to choose his breakfast for the day.

"Alright, alright, young man, you've got quite an appetite!"

The boss's face was beaming with joy.

"It's not just me eating it, my girlfriend is too."

"Oh, so the young couple is here on vacation?"

"Uh-huh."

The shop owner didn't ask any more questions, but quickly packed up what Xu Mo wanted.

Xu Mo reached out to take it, but the shopkeeper lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Young man, are you having fun with your girlfriend?"

Xu Mo didn't notice the boss's mysterious expression and casually replied, "Yeah, I'm quite happy."

"Young man, girlfriends are great, but you can't overindulge in them..."

The boss suddenly spoke in a serious tone.

Xu Mo... It hasn't even started yet, what's with all this talk of excessive indulgence?

"You may have misunderstood the situation regarding excessive indulgence."

Xu Mo gave a forced smile. "Oh, young man, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Look at your dark circles, look at your haggard lips, tsk tsk tsk."

"Boss, I really didn't..."

"Hey young man, I have a supplement here, not 998, just 98, want some?"

Xu Mo...

Where should we use the extra strength?
"Boss, I have a question. Do many people sell this kind of thing around here?"

Xu Mo changed the subject, and the boss immediately perked up.

"You don't know, young man, our village has a magical power. Couples who come here for tourism all become incredibly passionate and can't control themselves! So it's quite normal for couples who travel here to overindulge in sex~"

"Oh, that's really amazing. But I saw a lot of girls buying breakfast on my way here. Don't tell me their boyfriends were all sleeping in their rooms."

Xu Mo raised his question once again.

The boss's expression became even happier, as if Xu Mo had hit the nail on the head.

"You don't know this, but these girls don't actually have boyfriends."

"That is……?"

The shopkeeper lowered his voice again: "These are all girls who had unforgettable nights with their boyfriends in our village. After breaking up for various reasons, they came back here."

"What? Does your village offer marriage guarantees?"

Xu Mo curled his lip, feeling that this behavior was no different from trying to find a sword by marking the boat.

"Ahem, of course not. I just heard that you can find that feeling again in our village."

"What does it feel like?"

Xu Mo frowned; he was genuinely a bit bewildered.

"Of course, with their boyfriends..."

Xu Mo's eyes widened like saucers as he listened to his boss's words.

Can you still play like this?
You city folks and village folks really know how to have fun.

"Young man, don't tell anyone!"

The shop owner handed Xu Mo his breakfast and said mysteriously.

Xu Mo nodded, making a gesture of keeping his mouth shut.

"So that's how it is. I think this village is very strange."

Xu Mo recounted the Enchanting Fox and his morning experiences to Tang Shishi.

Tang Shishi frowned, realizing that she had indeed been very...eager yesterday.

Why is that?
Is it because of that bewitching fox?

If so, what about the others? Is it also because of this alluring fox?

"Xu Mo, I think we might have fallen into a fox's den."

Tang Shishi said in a stiff voice.

"That's possible, but I wasn't affected yesterday. There must be something we don't know about."

Xu Mo pretended to be a detective, even making a smoking motion with his finger.

“You’re right, so I think we need to investigate.”

Tang Shishi agreed with Xu Mo's idea.

"Um, Shishi, I think I can handle the investigation myself. You don't need to go. What if you..."

Xu Mo didn't say the rest, but Tang Shi didn't understand what he meant. Her face flushed red, and she glared at Xu Mo.

"We should be fine conducting the investigation during the day. You can stay with me tonight."

"Oh, that's good too."

What can I do? I still have to listen to you, Xu Mo thought to himself, but he still finished his breakfast without making a sound.

After breakfast, the two decided to go out and investigate the village.

Xu Mo suddenly stopped.

"Shishi?"

"Ok?"

"Give me a kiss~"

"roll!!!"
