Chapter 217: The Azure Dragon Appears "Idiot! Your attack lacks any technique—relying solely on that meager strength. Just wait and see how you take it," this content comprises the textual narrative of Chapter 217 of "Rural Beauty 217." Lu Yun felt a shock in his虎mouth, the vegetable knife flying out of his hands. His neck seemed to be tightly encircled by an iron band, and as his feet lifted off the ground, his body was hoisted into the air. His handsome face instantly turned a deep liver-color, and he instinctively kicked and struggled wildly. "Hey, young fool! You still have that vegetable knife tucked away, planning to strike me again, huh? Let me tell you the truth—even if you're holding a gun, you won't be able to hurt me at all." Zhang, the fool, stood there with one arm, as if it carried the weight of a thousand jin. No matter how hard Lu Yun struggled, he couldn't break free from that dry, withered hand. Watching Lu Yun gasp and struggle for breath, Zhang coldly chuckled, "You're so ungrateful! Just wait until you see how your beloved will be treated—how I'll make him suffer, until he's dead and alive again. Haven't you heard a woman's pleasure yet? I'll satisfy you first, and then you'll have to go see your unfortunate father, Lu Feng." "Lu Yun still wanted to launch another tirade, but his neck was held so tightly that he could barely breathe, let alone speak—his only option was to glare angrily at the fool, Zhang. "That's enough for now. Watch this—this is going to be a real show," smiled Zhang. "That young girl has such delicate skin—she'll surely enjoy it when she's dried out. You, the fool, I've even reserved the chance for her first time to you. Instead, you—*you*—go around with a knife pointed at me, giving me the floor and treating me like a fool!" As Zhang finished speaking, he was about to release Lu Yun. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Ling Xiaoman had picked up the fallen vegetable knife, silently walked to his back, and struck him squarely on the shoulder. Blood sprayed out. Ling Xiaoman had never killed a chicken since childhood, let alone cut someone with a knife. If it hadn't been for Lu Yun's life hanging by a thread, she wouldn't have dared to do it—so though the cut was bleeding, it wasn't deep. Fresh blood splashed onto the snow-white wrists, sending Lin Xiaoman dizzy and panicked—she was bleeding! Zhang, the fool, laughed bitterly, waving his hand to push aside Lin Xiaoman's grip on the knife. With a shake of his shoulder, he sent the knife slicing into the flesh flying. He then grasped Lin Xiaoman's pale neck firmly, lifting her and placing her beside Lu Yun, and sneered, "You two are truly made for each other—she wounded me with a slingshot, and you with a vegetable knife. Well, I'll make it happen. Let you two become wild swans, forever entwined. But what a pity for this girl! I've gone to all this trouble to bring her here, only to see her go to meet the afterlife alongside Lu Yun's son before I even get to do anything!" Lin Xiaoman struggled to turn her head and catch a glimpse of Lu Yun, her eyes brimming with regret. If it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't be dying here in this remote cave. Zhang's resolve hardened, and he turned first to Lu Yun. With a firm grip of his five fingers, Lu Yun felt his mind go blank, his mouth "Good heavens, are you really going to take this kid's life? For goodness' sake, even though he's a bit slow, I can't do without this body. Landlord, we can only resort to some odd, strange tricks to scare him a bit. As for whether this guy's truly stubborn or not, that'll depend entirely on your luck." The voice within Lu Yun's body rambled on, incessantly, until Lu Yun's head was about to burst. Then, with a sudden sharp command, he roared, "The current content is from Chapter 217 of the Rural Beauty series." As the strange voice echoed, Lu Yun suddenly opened his mouth and let out a resonant dragon's roar. On his exposed arms, the green phosphorescence spread rapidly, and with a tearing sound, his shirt burst open. A faint, shimmering dragon glided and soared over his chest and shoulders, its roar echoing continuously. Zhang, the fool, gradually tightened his fingers. With just a little more strength, he could easily crush Lu Yun's neck. Yet the intermittent, faint dragon's roar kept him from proceeding, and he stared in horror at the small green dragon pattern swirling above Lu Yun's chest, as if encountering the most terrifying thing of his life. He gasped, "A hidden dragon of the world—really, does this thing exist?" As he spoke, he loosened his grip, and Lu Yun and Ling Xiaoman fell to the ground. Zhang, pale with alarm, fled in panic, shouting all the way out of the cave. Lu Yun laughed heartily, but his strength gave out and he coughed violently, as if his lungs were being torn apart. "Teacher Ling, what on earth do you mean by a dragon? I'm certain you must have heard it wrong. But I never expected you to be able to cut through a fool like Zhang with a kitchen knife—hah! Maybe even Zhang the fool was scared away by your ladylike boldness." "Boldness? Pfft! You're a stinker. If it weren't for you, I'd have been dead already. Instead, you've been so proud of yourself, stubbornly claiming all the credit for this little girl. For heaven's sake, after all this time I've finally recovered a bit, just to save your life, I'm going back to sleep again. You're a fool. From now on, when you encounter something like this, I won't be able to help you anymore. Off to sleep, off to sleep—I'm exhausted!" The voice within Lu Yun's body stammered and murmured incoherently, as though someone who had been up all night, and then faded completely after saying the last words. The path ahead seemed blocked, yet suddenly, a village emerged in the Two who were certain to die unexpectedly found themselves reborn in the midst of crisis. Land Yun and Ling Xiaoman, once preoccupied with the question of whether the dragon's roar was genuine or not, now, as teacher and student, embraced each other without hesitation, their joy at being saved overflowing. "Uh, Professor Ling, you—" With their bodies pressed so closely together, Land Yun inevitably felt the height of Ling Xiaoman's breasts brushing against his chest, sending a steady warmth through him. He found himself unable to suppress the sensation, lifting his head with a proud, composed demeanor. It was only when Land Yun reminded her that Ling Xiaoman realized her dress had been completely torn apart by the clumsy Zhang and tossed into the blazing campfire.
