Simultaneous time travel, starting from Little Li Flying Dagger

Wu Dalang was very famous in Yanggu County. He was good at making pancakes and was also short in stature.

However, Pan Jinlian, who came to Guyang County with him, was not very famous. Given her looks and figure, she would have been a natural star wherever she went, attracting attention and men.

However, after Wu Da's experience of being blocked at the door by a lecherous man in his hometown of Qinghe County, he stopped letting Pan Jinlian go out after moving to Guyang.

This made her feel incredibly lonely and cold...

"Ahem, this is where your brother, Wu Da, the pancake seller, is staying."

Based on his memory, Chuk led Wu Song to Zishi Street.

Beside the teahouse, a two-story building facing the street, was Wu Dalang's residence, and also the place where Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing's dream began.

Standing on the street, Wu Song took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and went forward to knock on the door.

Chuk looked up at the reed curtain above, trying to see if any forked poles had fallen.

With a creak, the wooden door opened.

"Who is it?" A woman opened the door, her steps graceful, her voice alluring yet not seductive.

"Are you my... sister-in-law?"

Wu Song glanced at Pan Jinlian, then turned to look at Chu Ke, as if to confirm.

"Yes."

"Who is your sister-in-law?"

Pan Jinlian and Chu Ke spoke in unison.

Only then did Chuk peek out and see the man's face clearly.

What a beautiful woman Pan Jinlian, with fair skin, a slender waist, full breasts, and expressive almond eyes—a classic and charming beauty.

"Who is your sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense when my eldest son is not around."

Pan Jinlian was already breathing heavily when she saw Wu Song's imposing stature, and when she saw Chu Ke standing behind him with his slanted eyebrows and handsome appearance, her legs felt weak.

He hurriedly explained, "My eldest son has no brothers. You two have probably come to the wrong place. It's hot outside, why don't you come inside and have some tea?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Song looked even more surprised.

Even though Pan Jinlian was a 'classic white moonlight' in front of him, he only thought about his brother. Hearing that Pan Jinlian's words were somewhat eccentric, he felt even more unhappy.

"How could my sister-in-law invite a strange man into the house when she's home alone? That's improper."

Pan Jinlian was somewhat annoyed when she was rebuked by Wu Song, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes.

OK!

Is it my fault for knocking on my door out of the blue and inviting you in for tea?

Just as Pan Jinlian was about to retort, Chu Ke stepped between the two of them.

"This is Wu Song, your husband Wu Dalang's younger brother from the same mother. This lady is Pan Jinlian, your true sister-in-law."

"We're family, so let's go inside and wait for Dalang to come back, so the neighbors won't gossip."

After listening to Chu Ke's words, Pan Jinlian felt as if she were bathed in a spring breeze, thinking how could there be such an understanding man in the world.

This was a world apart from the men she had seen before, such as the master, the lecher, and Wu Da.

Chu Ke led Wu Song into the house, and Pan Jinlian took the opportunity to bolt the door.

"This young man is also from Guyang County, right? Do you know my Wu Da?"

Pan Jinlian brought out tea from the kitchen and handed it to Chu Ke, but Wu Song on the other side did not.

Chu Ke smiled. "I'm a regular at Wu Da's stall. I always hear him say that he has a virtuous wife who takes good care of him. I suppose she's his sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Pan Jinlian chuckled and said, "Young man, you really know how to talk. I wonder how old you are?"

As he spoke, he sat down next to Chuk.

Chu Ke glanced at Wu Song, who was secretly angry, and laughed, "You're the same age as your second son, and you've wasted twenty-five years of your life."

Pan Jinlian's face lit up with joy, and she asked coquettishly, "I'm three years older than you. Where in Guyang County do you live, young master?"

Before Chu Ke could answer, Wu Song couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, where is my eldest brother?"

Pan Jinlian glanced sideways at Wu Song, clearly still angry at his earlier mockery, and then...

"My son Wu Da doesn't have an uncle's good physique or good job. He can only make a living by selling pancakes on weekdays, so naturally he sets up a stall on the street."

Wu Song felt a pang of self-reproach, thinking to himself that he shouldn't have gotten angry so soon after meeting his sister-in-law.

He couldn't stand Pan Jinlian's sarcasm any longer, so he stood up and said to Chu Ke and the other man:

"Brother Chu, sister-in-law, you rest at home for a while, I'm going to look for my elder brother in the street!"

Chu Ke also stood up. "You're not familiar with Guyang County, so let me take you to find Wu Da."

Just as Wu Song was about to agree, he heard Pan Jinlian say:

"There's nothing you can't find. Just look at the pancake stall in front of Lion Street."

Wu Song frowned, thinking that he shouldn't argue with his sister-in-law, lest their relationship worsen.

So he suppressed his displeasure and said to Chu Ke, "I dare not trouble County Magistrate Chu any further. I will go find my brother now; it won't take much effort."

Then he looked at Pan Jinlian and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the newly appointed County Commandant Chu. He just killed a tiger with his bare hands this morning. You must treat him well and not neglect him."

After saying that, he left home and jogged towards Lion Street.

"Is Brother Chu really that tiger-slaying hero?"

Pan Jinlian looked at Chu Ke with surprise in her eyes. She hadn't expected that Chu Ke, who looked so extraordinary, would have the strength to kill a tiger.

Chuk looked up at Pan Jinlian, about to speak, but when he met her gaze, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.

The woman's eyes, though clearly looking at you intentionally, seemed to be both evasive and shy, as if you were peeking at her.

This is probably what it means to feign reluctance while actually welcoming.

"I had heard Granny Wang next door praising how incredibly brave and heroic that tiger-slaying hero was. It was my fault. I should have recognized Brother Chu when I saw him earlier."

As Pan Jinlian spoke, her hand was already on Chu Ke's shoulder, her breasts slightly exposed and her hair half-undone.

She thought of the "three-inch-tall tree bark" beside her pillow, which looked three parts human and seven parts ghost, and felt extremely unlucky!

While feeling Chuk's broad shoulders, she thought that he had also taught him how to fight the tiger, so he must be very strong. He was also unmarried. If she teased him a little, wouldn't he take the bait?

They're probably in for a long and happy time!

Pan Jinlian's face grew increasingly flushed and her breathing became more rapid as she thought about it.

But then Chuke asked:

"Wu Er went to Lion Street to look for Wu Dalang, and the two of them will surely return home soon. Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid they'll see you like this?"

Pan Jinlian leaned her body against Chuke's back, gently exhaling the fragrance of orchids from her mouth.

"Lion Street is three streets away from our house. If you act quickly, they won't make it in time."

Using this to test cadres is truly difficult to bear.

Feeling a soft touch on his back, Chuck closed his eyes.

Then he stood up, pushed Pan Jinlian aside, and asked:

"Sister-in-law, do you still remember what Brother Wu Song called me just now?"

Pan Jinlian, puzzled, thought back and said, "Brother Chu? Lord Chu?"

Chu Ke shook his head. "It's County Commandant Chu."

"According to the laws of my Northern Song Dynasty: those who commit adultery shall be sentenced to one and a half years of penal servitude; those who are married shall be sentenced to two years of penal servitude."

"Sister-in-law, you're lucky this time, but I'll be keeping a close eye on you from now on."

Chuk stared intently at Pan Jinlian with a half-smile.

Don't make me laugh. Your little bit of pleasure is nothing compared to the weight of the Heavenly Star of Wounds—the Heavenly Demon Lord—Wu Er.

Once I've pacified Guyang County and even overturned the world, what innocent woman can't I find? Why bother with these thrilling games with Pan Jinlian?

Chuk knew exactly what was going on.
