Bai Suzhen, I really need to punish you properly.

The small boat moved slowly across the water.

Inside the cabin, Wang Xuan stroked his chin, quietly watching Feng San Niang with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Since we will be going to propose marriage to Feng San Niang later, we must arrange a respectable background for her.

Of course, this is far from enough to meet the requirements of wealthy families when choosing a son-in-law.

Affluent family background, excellent character, and a good reputation...

Wang Xuan pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Third Sister, shall we put on a play later?"

"What play?"

Wang Xuan smiled slightly: "How good are you at swimming? If I fall into the water, you can save me."

Why?

Wang Xuan: "I can't just suddenly have a great younger brother, can I?"

Feng San Niang's eyes flickered, and she instantly understood his intention.

The thought of being in close contact with a man made her cheeks blush slightly, after all, men and women shouldn't touch each other, but she still replied, "I understand, but you must be careful."

Wang Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "By the way, are you sure you can carry me?"

Just imagining the scene of skin touching skin made Feng San Niang's heart flutter. She responded softly, "Mmm."

Wang Xuan suddenly changed his mind and shook his head, saying, "That doesn't seem right."

"inappropriate?"

Wang Xuan called out to Ao Jin at the stern, "Xiao Meng, look at this young master, is there anything amiss?"

"This one looks like a girl."

"Xiao Meng has such keen eyes." Wang Xuan looked at Feng San Niang. "Even in your current state, Xiao Meng can see right through you. Once you're soaked in the lake, everyone will probably recognize you as a woman."

Feng Sanniang looked troubled: "Then what should we do?"

Wang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, as long as people see that someone rescued me, our goal will be achieved."

The small boat sailed into the lake where many boats came and went.

Wang Xuan sighed, "If only there were some waves in this lake."

Upon hearing this, Ao Jin immediately cast a spell in secret. As a dragon maiden, controlling wind and rain was second nature to her.

In an instant, the wind rose and the clouds surged, and a torrential downpour began.

The strong winds made the boat rock from side to side.

Wang Xuan instructed, "Xiao Meng, I will fall into the water in a moment. Don't panic. Just call out a few times, and Third Sister will save me."

Ao Jin nodded repeatedly.

Wang Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious about what we're going to do?"

Ao Jin nodded and then shook her head, her tone gentle: "There must be a reason why an adult does this."

Feng San Niang was curious and didn't understand why this boatwoman trusted him so much.

Wang Xuan said, "The commotion we've caused on your ship might jeopardize your future business."

Ao Jin quickly shook her head: "It's Xiao Meng's wish to serve you!"

Wang Xuan then said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to the county office to find me."

Ao Jin nodded repeatedly.

Wang Xuan walked to the bow of the boat, looked up at the rain-soaked sky, and "accidentally" fell into the lake.

Xiao Meng immediately called out loudly, "My lord! My lord! My lord!"

Feng San Niang then stepped out of the cabin, jumped into the water, and swam towards Wang Xuan.

She carried Wang Xuan on her back from behind and swam back to the small boat.

Wang Xuan's arms hung naturally in front of Feng San Niang, whose cheeks were flushed. She could feel the passion of the man behind her.

This was the first time she had such intimate contact with a man, especially with Wang Xuan's warm breath brushing against her cheeks and neck, making her tremble all over.

Many pedestrians along the shore and tourists on boats witnessed this scene.

The two returned to the small boat, where Wang Xuan lay down on the deck with his eyes closed.

Feng San Niang reached out and gently shook him. Seeing that he didn't react, she patted Wang Xuan's cheek a few times: "Young master, young master."

Seeing that Wang Xuan was still unconscious, he gradually increased the pressure on his hand.

Seeing that she was about to film again, Wang Xuan couldn't keep up the act any longer. She covered her cheek, stood up, and complained, "Stop, stop, stop! I just wanted to scare you guys on purpose. Go all out! Your mouth is almost swollen from filming."

He didn't expect to give them artificial respiration; he just wanted to scare them. But Feng San Niang gave him twenty free draws as soon as he logged in. Who could resist that?

Upon seeing this, Feng San Niang and Ao Jin both pursed their lips and chuckled to themselves.

Wang Xuan looked at Feng San Niang suspiciously: "You didn't do this on purpose, did you?"

"Of course not!"

……

Wang Xuan took Feng San Niang back to the county government office.

Bai Suzhen, Mingzhu, and Yanzhi were chatting together when they heard that Wang Xuan had returned, so they immediately went to greet him.

Looking at the room full of beautiful women, Wang Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "This is the empire I've built for myself!"

Feng San Niang's cultivation level was not as high as Bai Suzhen's and Mingzhu's, but she could vaguely sense the spiritual power emanating from Yan Zhi's body.

Wang Xuan introduced everyone, saying, "This is my wife, Lady Bai; this is my concubine, Rouge; this is my good friend, Mingzhu. This is Third Sister Feng. Third Sister, I'll have someone prepare a bedroom for you; please rest for a while."

Feng San Niang bowed slightly to the crowd, marveling at Wang Xuan's good fortune with women, and then left with the servants.

Rouge smiled and said, "My husband brought back another girl this time he went out."

Most of the women in the manor were spirits and demons, and she was actually hoping that Wang Xuan would bring back a proper human woman.

"Please sit down, I'll tell you something."

Wang Xuan invited the three women to sit down and began to tell them the story of Feng San Niang and Fan Shi Yi Niang, as well as his intention to help them get married.

Mingzhu exclaimed, "Young Master's actions are truly extraordinary."

Rouge frowned slightly: "But husband, is this really a good idea? What if they...?"

"Even if they regret it in the future, it's their choice. Then again, who can be sure that the other choice was the right one? Never romanticize the path you didn't choose."

Bai Suzhen spoke softly, "My lord, but that Third Sister Feng seems to be no ordinary person."

Mingzhu nodded in agreement: "I felt it too."

"What is that?"

"She seems to be from the Qingqiu fox clan, because she doesn't have any harmful aura."

Wang Xuan remained calm and nodded emphatically, saying, "As long as she doesn't harm anyone, I will continue to help her."

……

The following day, some interesting news emerged from Qiantang County.

Yesterday, a sudden storm hit the lake, and Magistrate Wang Xuan accidentally fell into the water. His situation was extremely critical, but fortunately, a strong and muscular young man bravely stepped forward and rescued him in time.

The county magistrate, grateful for the man's life-saving grace, swore brotherhood with him.

Some say the boy is the son of a wealthy man, while others say he is the descendant of a retired military officer.

In short, several versions of the story quickly spread in the restaurant, each version boasting in different ways, making the young man sound like a god.

When the people in the city heard about this, many secretly sighed with regret, lamenting that they had missed out on such immense wealth.

Wang Xuan arrived at Feng San Niang's room and handed her a roll of white cloth.

"Here, this is for you."

Feng San Niang reached out and took it with a puzzled look: "What is this?"

"Here you go..." Wang Xuan gestured slightly in front of her, explaining, "It's for binding your chest. It's too big... no, too obvious."

"rogue!"

Feng San Niang's cheeks flushed instantly. The memory of carrying him on her back in the water yesterday, the two of them close together, made her even more shy.

"If you don't want to use this, you can just use your magic to transform."

Feng San Niang was taken aback: "What?"

Wang Xuan patted her shoulder: "My wife told me that your true form is probably a fox, right?"

Feng San Niang was shocked: "How did you know?"

"Don't be surprised. There are many demons in my household. You'll know once you spend more time with them. My wife's magic is stronger than yours, which is why she saw through your identity."

"I see." Feng Sanniang suddenly understood, and asked softly, "Isn't the young master afraid of demons?"

"What's there to be afraid of about demons?" Wang Xuan laughed. "I have a sister-in-law who always likes to show her true form to scare me. Why don't you show your true form too and let me see if you can scare me?"

Wang Xuan seemed eager to try and very interested.

"Young Master!" Feng San Niang said, both embarrassed and annoyed.

"Sorry, sorry." Wang Xuan's apology was perfunctory, but she quickly became serious and instructed, "Since you can transform, you don't need to worry about being recognized as a woman. However, I still have some details to teach you, such as the way you walk. Although you are a fox, don't walk so seductively..."

"Where did I walk in a seductive way?" Feng San Niang was very dissatisfied. She was a proper fox fairy, not one of those fox demons who could bewitch men.

"Look, you're in such a hurry again."
