Rural Beauty 023, 023 The Iron Old Lady Steps In The Iron Old Lady Steps In Zhou Quan wrapped a student in a rolling motion on the ground, forcing others to hesitate and refrain from making moves, thus directing all attention squarely at Lu Yun. This is the textual content of Chapter 023 of Rural Beauty. - Love's Chamber - Read - Love's Chamber - kankankan8 "Already complained about the neighbors—now let's go," Lu Yun said, immediately sensing that today's situation wasn't going to end well. He crouched down, hands pressed to his head, sighing, "Well, be it as it may—just don't knock me out. As long as I don't lose my wits, I'm fine." Zhou Gao-person called out, "Take Lu Yun's hands and fan his face!" It's a well-known saying: "When striking someone, don't strike their face; when criticizing, don't point out their shortcomings." By coming right at Lu Yun with the intention of fanning his face, Zhou Gao-person ignited a fierce anger in Lu Yun. Rising to his feet, he fixed his gaze on Zhou G "He who acts first gains the advantage; he who acts later suffers the consequences. As soon as Lu Yun finished speaking, his fist roared forward and struck the ground with a sharp thud, making intimate contact with Zhou Gao-ren's nose. Neither Zhou Gao-ren nor the people around him had expected Lu Yun to make the first move. They all stood stunned for a moment before shouting and surrounding him to pummel him. Fights among students were common, and within no time, the crowd had swelled to fill the surrounding area. Instead of anyone going to inform the teachers to intervene, several boys even began cheering from the sidelines. Lu Yun had no idea how many punches or kicks he had taken. His only action was to clench tightly onto one boy, burying his head against the boy's chest while using his knees to constantly press against the boy's crotch. Zhou Quan wasn't any better off—his youthful strength had been insufficient to withstand the pressure. After a series of struggles, he was now pinned beneath the boy, receiving a steady rain of punches on his face. "What are you doing? Stop already!" Suddenly, a sharp cry rang out in the crowd of students, startling them into stepping aside. The person who stepped forward was the formidable Iron Old Lady, everyone's fear. Zhou Gao-ren was in the middle of his passionate speech, his head still down, shouting, "What's going on? Who's giving me orders—?" Mid-sentence, he felt his neck grasped, and then, as if lifted by a sudden surge of wind, he was carried upward, floating effortlessly. Before he could turn around to curse, a smiling face appeared in front of him, instantly transforming his bold, defiant expression into one of pale green terror. "Miss... Miss Iron... I... I..." Zhou Gao-ren stammered, his three souls and seven spirits completely scattered to the winds. "What are you doing? Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?" said the Iron Old Lady. Though only about 1.6 meters tall, she lifted Zhou Gao-ren—standing at 1.7 meters—like a small chicken, clearly without any effort. A dozen students completely failed to notice the arrival of the iron-tempered old lady, still pummeling Lu Yun and Zhou Quan with fists and feet. "Stop! Stop it!" Zhou Gao-ren cried out, his voice trembling and strained. Finally, the group halted, trying to ask why they had stopped—only to see the old lady lift Zhou Gao-ren like a chicken, holding him firmly in her arms. Facing a petite yet well-built old lady, the group of tall, sturdy junior-three students all went pale, silently and collectively scattering—except for the one student who had been giving Zhou Quan a good beating, who, being farther away, hadn't noticed the sudden shift. Zhou Gao-ren was furious—what a bunch of self-serving, money-drinking brats! Yet, no matter how fiercely he railed, he could only vent his frustration silently in the presence of the iron lady. "There are still some who won't behave!" The old iron lady set Zhou Gaoren down, beaming with a sunlit smile, patting his face and saying, "Good boy, don't wander off—I'll go wake up your companions." Zhou Quan had been knocked senseless, instinctively shielding his face with his arms, enduring a relentless barrage of punches and slaps. The old iron lady walked over, gently pushing the boy who was delivering the blows on Zhou Quan's back. The boy cried out in pain, staggering forward and tumbling in a series of rolls before coming to a stop. He managed to rise from the ground, only to remain silent upon realizing that it was the renowned female powerhouse of the school—the iron lady—whose sudden attack had caught him off guard. Without uttering a single word, he turned and fled. The iron lady paid no attention to the retreating boy, instead turning her gaze to Zhou Quan, lying on the ground writhing in pain and groaning. With a cold smile, she said, "Acting all like a bear? If you're not going to die, get up—don't you feel you're already making a spectacle?" Zhou Quan was indeed thoroughly beaten—his eyes, dark and swollen, looked like panda eyes, with high, puffy cheeks and numerous finger marks pressed across them. Hearing the voice of the Iron Old Lady, Zhou Quan endured the pain, pushed himself up with a swift movement, brushed off the dust from his clothes, and kept his gaze steadily fixed on the Iron Old Lady’s full chest, taking in the scene as if it were the countryside beauty chapter 023. "Thank you, Teacher," he said. Fortunately, his eyes were swollen down to just a narrow slit; otherwise, the Iron Old Lady would have seen the awkwardness in his eyes and smacked him senseless. "You’ve been beaten like this—don’t even think of calling yourself one of my students," the Iron Old Lady remarked, seeing only minor bruises and injuries, then turned away without further words. As Zhou Quan watched the Iron Old Lady’s back, his eyes involuntarily followed the sway of her hips. He swallowed hard, a low rumble escaping him, feeling both embarrassed and stirred. ***, today I've really embarrassed myself—definitely left the old iron lady with the impression that I'm a complete loser. For heaven's sake, I'm going to kill that Zhou Gao-ren! Zhou Quan trailed behind the iron lady, vowing to exact revenge on Zhou Gao-ren, yet his eyes never left the two plump, full-bottomed buttocks. As the lady swayed, his own erection grew steadily firmer... "Zhou Gao was about to cry. Seeing that the iron old lady remained unmoved by his appeals, he turned to Lu Yun and said, 'Lu Yun, I swear from this day on I'll never bother you again. Please let Iron Teacher forgive me.' The iron old lady looked at Lu Yun, her eyes conveying a clear request. 'We can't simply let him go. With over ten people attacking us two, it's clear he's both ruthless and resourceful—using every means possible. He may speak well in public, but who knows when he's secretly undermining us while secretly working against us behind Iron Teacher's back?' Zhou Quan took a few quick steps and stood directly in front of Lu Yun, speaking loudly. It was obvious that the iron old lady was leaning toward him and Lu Yun; otherwise, he would surely find a way to retaliate, even fearing he might die in his sleep, feeling humiliated in his dreams. 'Alright, Zhou Gao—just remember what you just said.' Though Lu Yun wasn't exactly a gentle person and had been holding a grudge against Zhou Gao for gathering ten people to attack them, he didn't want to use the iron old lady's authority to sideline Zhou Gao." ...
