Her beautiful jade-red lower garment, embroidered with stars and the moon, was tied below her breasts, with a ribbon pulling it up to cover them. She posed in front of the bronze mirror, showing off her slender and exquisite figure, her fragrant shoulders bare and her jade-like back smooth.
On her back were only two red ropes tied with words, and her jade-red lower garment swayed gently with her movements. She then picked up the light pink dress lying beside her, stretched out her arms, and put it on.
The Calamity Robe is originally a combination of an upper garment and a lower garment. This cross-front orange robe has a very long hem, reaching below the knees. In another world, it could be worn as a skirt, but in this world, it is just a standard style.
The double-breasted design, with the front panels crossed and tied at the waist, reveals a section of the lower garment beneath the hem of the glutinous rice dress, creating a striking dual-color scheme.
“Brother,” Xiaoye turned to him, covering her chest with her hands and swaying her skirt from side to side, “this is a dress I just bought last night when I was shopping with Yuelan. Does it look good?”
Fu Hai smiled and said, "It looks pretty good."
Girls are not all the same. Yue Lan likes to wear high-waisted orange dresses that reach her chest, with the top pulled up to her breasts and her small blouse tucked into the opening.
That kind of high-waisted, fleshy skirt seems to have been most popular in another world, during the Tang Dynasty.
Xiaoye probably wanted to be an ordinary girl, so she chose the most standard styles of skirts. Of course, the most important thing was to be pretty and cute; pretty and cute people look good in anything, and they look good even without clothes.
“I’m so happy this year’s Lantern Festival,” the girl said, standing in front of him. Her eyes sparkled like stars. “Before, every time there was a festival, I could only be alone on the mountain outside the city, looking at the city. But this time is different.”
"This is the only time in all these years that I can truly be in the city and celebrate the festival with everyone."
She reached out her little hand and wrapped it around his waist, feeling both embarrassed and happy: "And tonight I'll have you with me, brother!"
Chapter 155 Dream! What to do when three women live separately?
Fu Hailou looked at Xiao Ye, who was as petite and affectionate as a little bird, and said, "Well, actually..."
Little Ye hugged his waist, looked up at him with joyful, innocent eyes. Fu Hai said, "Actually, I'm looking forward to it too."
I was thinking of suggesting we skip the holiday tonight, but I just couldn't bring myself to say it.
It was clearly Xiaoye who first suggested that the two of them go shopping and see the lanterns together tonight.
Little Ye, hug me! Last night I slept with that young lady from the Painting Immortal Pavilion, and that matchmaker heroine also made plans to go shopping with me tonight.
Or maybe we should just call it a day for now and talk about celebrating the holiday together later? I have this feeling that if I said that out loud...
The next time I feed Xiaoye, she'll reveal her skeletal form halfway through the food and bite it off. Does she think Xiaoye is easy to bully?
Hearing his words, Xiao Ye's bright eyes curved into crescent moons with joy. "Xiao Ye? Xiao Ye, are you alright?" Xia Yuelan's voice came from outside.
Xiaoye quickly replied, "Ah, Yuelan, wait a moment." She hurriedly let go of her brother and told him to go outside first.
Fu Hai came out and saw that his junior sister had changed into a pink and white dress with a knife at her waist. He asked, "Where are you guys going?"
Xia Yuelan said, "Let's go to the mountaintop. Xiao Ye promised to teach me swordsmanship. Senior brother, why are you still here? Weren't you resting?" Fu Hai replied, "I was just about to go."
Not long after, Xiaoye came out, having changed back into her original dress with pipa sleeves.
Xia Yuelan said, "Xiao Ye, I thought you were going to change into the new dress you wore last night." Xiao Ye said softly, "I just wanted to try it on and see." She glanced at her brother.
She wanted to save that beautiful new dress for when she went shopping with her brother that evening.
Fu Hai sensed Xiao Ye's affection, and his whole body felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, tingling and soft all over. Fu Hai said, "You two didn't sleep last night either, did you? Why don't you go and rest first?"
"It's alright!" Xia Yuelan said. "For us martial artists, not sleeping for a night or two is not a big problem. We agreed to practice swordsmanship this morning, so we can't be lazy."
Fu Hai said irritably, "I wasn't talking about you. I was saying that Xiao Ye also needs to get some rest."
Xiaoye said softly, "I'm fine! There's nothing to do this afternoon, I'll just rest a bit more later."
He said with a smile, "I haven't been able to help much with the inn, and I haven't done much for it on a regular basis."
Xia Yuelan held her hand: "Ah! It's alright. Anyway, once the Lantern Festival is over, this inn will soon be deserted again."
"If you ask me, how about we tear down the inn and turn it into a security escort agency? With Xiao Ye around, there shouldn't be any problems with escorting goods."
Fu Hai said, "You think escorting goods relies solely on martial arts skills? Martial arts skills are secondary; connections in the martial arts world are the most important. An escort agency with connections can simply plant a flag and no one will come to rob you."
"Without connections, you'll be surrounded by gangsters and thugs; every step is a trap!"
Then he looked at Xiaoye and said, "I almost forgot the important matter! Xiaoye, you said before that Tao'ou's child seems to be the same type as Zheng Wei from last time. Shouldn't his body be burned?"
Xiaoye said, "It's okay. Although I'm in the same category as Zheng Wei, our abilities are different."
"Actually, I have already completely killed that baby. The corpse you saw later was just formed from the yin energy and qi that he absorbed in the Yin Cave."
“That’s no longer his real body, and it won’t be long before it dissipates.” Fu Hai exclaimed, realizing what was happening.
Just like Xiaoye, although she looks like an ordinary pretty girl now, her true form is actually a skeleton. Her current body is formed from the yin energy of the moon and the yang essence he gave to Xiaoye, condensed after the yin and yang were harmonized.
Xiao Ye had been escaped by Zheng Wei decades ago, so it was impossible for her to make the same mistake again. He was just worried, so he came to ask again.
Now that he was at ease, he went back to his own courtyard to rest.
Although last night's main task was to grope Sister Xianrui indiscriminately, and in the end, I went into Sister Xianrui's vagina and worked hard. When I came to my senses, Sister Xiaoye arrived, and everyone was safe.
But actually, the whole process was quite thrilling, and you had to be on high alert the whole time.
He took a shower in the yard, lay down on the bed, stretched his limbs, and finally felt completely relaxed. He slowly drifted off to sleep.
In his sleep, he had a dream.
In his dream, Butterfly Heroine, Little Night Sister, and Fairy Sister each held a knife and charged at him.
"I was here first. Whether it was getting to know him or doing things with him, I was here first. I was here first."
"My brother is mine, forever and ever. Brother, you promised to go shopping with me, why are they here too? Why?"
“Fu Lang is mine. He loves me, he loves me to the point of life and death. Don’t bother him. Fu Lang, tell me, don’t you love me the most? Tell me!”
They pulled at him, neither willing to let go, and finally swung their knives at him, each taking a piece. His head fell to the ground, watching them leave satisfied, each clutching their piece.
Then, it seemed as if someone picked up his head, and another girl was holding it, sitting on a boat, surrounded by the sea. The girl looked down at him, smiling sinisterly: "Senior brother, senior brother."
Fu Hai suddenly opened his eyes and saw his junior sister Lingyue pushing him. He exclaimed, "Lingyue, are you fighting with them too?"
Song Lingyue stood by the bed, tilting her head in confusion: "Senior brother, did you have a nightmare? I saw your body shaking non-stop."
Fu Hai sat up, touched his head, and then his chest. Thankfully, his head was still on his body, and he hadn't been separated from his family.
Song Lingyue said, "Senior brother, Chief Constable Hu from the Six Doors has arrived, and Miss Die has come along too."
"The mastermind behind last night has turned himself in. Since the incident occurred in this county and he turned himself in at the local government office, they need to find that young lady from the Painting Fairy Pavilion and question you."
"There are quite a few people in the inn, so I arranged for them to sit in the backyard first. They are waiting for you now."
Fu Hai quickly got up, went to the door to check the sky. The sun had already moved past its zenith, it was probably around noon. Although it was past noon, it was still early before dusk.
I clicked on Butterfly Girl's "spy" window and saw that she was indeed sitting in the backyard of the inn. An eight-immortal table had been set up in the open space of the backyard, and Sister Qiu Ying was serving them tea.
Anyway, the separate household arrangement hasn't happened yet, thank goodness... but what should we do tonight?
Chapter 156 Senior Brother, you're such a kind person, you'll definitely be able to save the whole family.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Song Lingyue looked at her senior brother in confusion. "Why do you look like you've been startled and are covered in a cold sweat?" Fu Hai came outside, stood in the sunlight, scooped up some water from the bamboo pipe, and washed his face.
Then he raised his head, looking at the lush green sky: "Lingyue, in my book, the protagonist can only marry one woman. But in the real world, having multiple wives and concubines is actually quite normal, isn't it?"
Song Lingyue thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the saying 'three wives and four concubines' is just what ordinary people say. Normally, it's still monogamy." Fu Hai said, "Monogamy?"
Song Lingyue said, "The others are all concubines! Senior brother, what's wrong? Why are you talking about this?"
Fu Hai said, "What I mean is, since normally a man can marry several women, then everyone can get along well, right?"
Song Lingyue said, "That's impossible." Fu Hai turned to look at her.
Song Lingyue said, "The first wife poisons the concubine, the second wife plots against the first wife, and the wives and concubines are harmonious and the sisters are of one mind. The vast majority are not on good terms."
"If they are men and women of the martial world, they will often draw their swords against each other, and it is common for them to draw their swords in anger, resulting in death."
She glanced at her senior: "Reality isn't a novel. In novels, men fall in love with every woman they meet, and in the end, they all end up together without doing anything, and everything is peaceful."
"That's why your novel, 'The Young Hero's Adventures in Heaven,' is so infuriating. Reality is already troublesome enough, and then you have to get angry at Shi Ke while reading a novel."
Fu Hai said, "Lingyue, you've finished reading it too?"
"No!" Song Lingyue said, "I heard them complaining from time to time, so I already knew what was going on. Naturally, I didn't look at it to avoid getting angry."
She took the face towel that her senior brother had hung by the door and handed it to him. Fu Hai took it, wiped his face, and said, "Lingyue."
"If I ever get dismembered, just pick up my head, bury it in the back hill, and put up a tombstone. Don't take it out to sea, I don't really like the sea."
Song Lingyue nodded gently: "Mm."
"No, aren't you going to ask me why I was dismembered?"
Song Lingyue pulled him outside, saying, "It's alright, Senior Brother. I'll ask you after you've been dismembered." "Won't it be too late by then?"
"I don't know what you were dreaming about, Senior Brother!" Song Lingyue said softly, "but don't worry, Shi Dui, no one will separate you from your family."
She turned to Shi Ke and said, "Shi, you're not good at anything, but you're too good. Nobody can bear to separate you from their household." Fu Hai breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm much more relieved."
Song Lingyue raised her face, seemingly lost in thought: "Senior brother, you're such a good person. Even if you were to be killed, everyone would still fight to the death, determined to take everything from the entire household and leave nothing for anyone else, right?"
Fu Hai became even more worried.
The two siblings walked down the mountain from the gate. Fu Hai then asked, "Where's Yue Lan? Is she at the inn too?"
"No!" Song Lingyue said, "I didn't see her at noon, nor did I see her go out. She's probably still sleeping. We did agree that she would stay at the inn tonight to watch the shop."
**
Upon entering the inn's backyard, a square table was placed in the center of the courtyard. The county's chief constables, Hu Tao, Murong Die, and Li Xianrui, were all present.
“Miss Xianrui, Zhao Nianbo’s confession is here. His real name is Zhao Xiaosi. Many years ago, he was a tenant farmer at the foot of Yucheng Mountain.”
Hu Tao said, "Although last night's case happened in our An County, he hired martial arts people to come, so it still falls under the category of Jianghu disputes."
“We will report the whole case to higher authorities. Of course, as the person involved, you can also choose to have the case heard in the local county government first. But if that’s the case, you and your junior sister may have to stay in this county first.”
Li Xianrui said coolly, "No need! It was originally a matter of grudges between the martial arts world, so let's just handle it according to the rules of the martial arts world. The chief constable only needs to report the case, and the rest will be handled by Yucheng Mountain."
Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Anjun government were to handle this matter, they would be unable to resolve the grievances, and they would be unable to apprehend the White-faced Scholar, Peach Maiden, Green Bag Girl, Chen Ai Hu, and others.
This has inexplicably led to a major case that is affecting the local government's performance, and it's still not resolved. The prefect must be furious.
Li Xianrui was also moved when she saw the confession: "More than two hundred innocent people died in prison because of the collusion between my Jade City Mountain outer sect disciples and the local government, and were then wrongly accused of being rioters?"
