Chapter 916: The Village Beauty, Main Text – Chapter 916: She Decides to Go Out and Find Her Own Way "Autumn chrysanthemum gasped, saying, 'Just keep going— I didn't ask you to stop. I'm quite comfortable, actually. But you? Are you growing tired? Do you want an excuse to pause, or even to seek a truce?" Lu Yun didn't engage in unnecessary arguments with Autumn chrysanthemum; with a simple movement, he put her concerns to rest. To call it a challenge was merely polite—on closer inspection, Autumn chrysanthemum was simply being stubborn. As Lu Yun exerted himself, a sound of both pain and pleasure escaped the rosy lips of his, a soft, delicate sigh of delight. Chunlan couldn't hear the familiar thud-thud sound, thinking that Lu Yun had given in and was no longer pushing. She quickly turned around to look at the two of them, only to catch Lu Yun making two powerful surges. At once, she realized it wasn't Lu Yun who was failing—it was her younger sister who was now unable to hold on. She suddenly rose, and before Lady Liu could react to stop her, she stepped briskly toward Lu Yun, pointing at him with the finger that still held the gourd of cucumber. "Lu Yun," she said, "stop bothering Qi Ju. She simply can't withstand your fierce thrusts. I know you haven't finished yet—otherwise, you'd feel uncomfortable. If you're not satisfied, then come to me. Do whatever you like—just go ahead and do it!" Seeing Qi Ju gasping and closing her eyes under Lu Yun's relentless efforts, Chunlan felt deeply moved, her voice full of pleading, her gaze on Lu Yun now brimming with appeal. Lu Yun furrowed his brow, saying, "Springlan, it's not that I'm trying to make a fuss. It's actually Autumnju's own insistence that I treat her just like I did with Fengyi. Otherwise, she'll say I'm favoring Fengyi and not giving her my full effort. I wasn't able to stop and seek a truce because I saw her struggling to hold on—she herself refused, even wrapping her legs tightly around my waist. I simply couldn't move. This entire scene is from Chapter 916 of 'Rural Beauty in Bloom.' "That's easy," he added, "just wait a moment. I'll have Autumnju uncurl her legs." "Speaking, Chunlan knelt down and gently tapped Qiu Ju's cheek with her hand, saying, 'Qiu Ju, just listen to me for once—let Lu Yun slowly release the water. Don't be so stubborn, please, and get your legs off...' Qiu Ju suddenly opened her eyes, noticing a layer of mist forming in Chunlan's eyes. With a tearful voice, she said, 'Sister, I simply want to know if I can withstand Lu Yun's strong and forceful pressure. I have no intention of making him suffer or of putting myself at risk. Why do you all see me as someone who's willing to have him折腾on me, regardless of my own well-being?' Qiu Ju's words startled Chunlan. Without pausing to think, she quickly replied, 'Qiu Ju, I'm not saying that at all. I'm only feeling so moved by your current condition. I've already spoken to Lu Yun—just let your legs down, and I'll have him step off you. That way, you can rest properly. Otherwise, we won't be able to make it back tonight.'" Qiujue glanced at Lu Yun, seeing that Lu Yun's face also bore a completely agreeable expression, and immediately choked, saying, "Lu Yun, you... you mustn't laugh at me." Lu Yun managed to suppress his smile and replied, "Qiujue sister, doing something like this is all about feeling comfortable and at ease. Besides, your well is different from Fengyi sister's—how could I be forced to treat you the same way I treat Fengyi sister?" Seeing Qiujue had relaxed, Chunlan, fearing she might change her mind, quickly added, "Exactly. When it comes to doing such things, who would want to force themselves or show off? As long as both parties feel comfortable, that's all that matters—don't worry too much about it." By this point, even if Qiujue still wanted to hold on, she no longer had any reason to do so. Taking advantage of Chunlan's visit as a stepping stone, she promptly lowered her legs from Lu Yun's waist. Yet, fearing she might see Lu Yun's mocking expression, she immediately covered her eyes with both hands the moment her legs touched the ground. "Alright, Lu Yun, get up now and keep going on me—I can still endure for a while." Qi Ju had already given up her initial resistance, removing her legs from Lu Yun's waist. Chun Lan knew it was time to fulfill her promise to Lu Yun; with her legs slightly parted, she waited for him to move in and continue taking over the water well that remained so vividly alive. Lu Yun glanced at Chun Lan, smiled gently, and slowly rose, saying, "Chun Lan, you've been quite drained just now. If you take over from Qi Ju, you probably won't be much stronger than she is." "Chunlan knew that Lu Yun was speaking the truth, but she couldn't bear to watch Qiu Ju stubbornly resist any longer. Just then, she had come up with this last resort. Yet, as she watched Lu Yun remain as arrogant and unyielding as ever, she hesitated and said, 'Now, there are only us three women left in this room, and all of us have been worn down by your constant demands. If you don't release some of your pressure on me, I fear you'll end up with some serious health issues. This content is from Chapter 916 of 'Rural Beauties.' " Lu Yun laughed heartily, "That's all right—I'm quite rare in this regard; it's not easy for me to develop any ailments from being kept under pressure." Chunlan hesitated again, suggesting, "Why don't you wait a moment? I'll go out and invite a few friends who enjoy playing together. This way, you'll have better support." As she spoke, Chunlan began to dress and prepare to go and summon others. At that moment, Liu Fengyi approached, stepping in to stop her, "Chunlan, don't rush things. Lu Yun has his own way of Chunlan looked at Liu Fengyi with growing curiosity, and after a while finally asked, "Fengyi姐, what can Lu Yun possibly do on his own? Does he really have to stay with three women, just watching them grow weary and worn out? The thought of how all three women are struggling to keep up with Lu Yun, and now being worn down by him one after another, made her feel a growing sense of embarrassment. She silently thought: What's the saying—'there's never a bad field, only a tired ox'? Now it seems Lu Yun is an ox that's not only plowing three fertile fields, but also watering them all along! Liu Fengyi chuckled warmly and said, "Don't worry. Lu Yun won't be satisfied with anything simple. You just need to leave this matter to me—take it easy with Qiu Ju, and rest together." Chunlan nodded in understanding, wanting to ask more, but seeing Liu Fengyi's confident expression, she finally sighed and nodded, going to tend to Qiu Ju, who was now nearly unconscious from being overwhelmed by Lu Yun's constant activities. Liu Fengyi stared at Lu Yun, as if she could already guess at his thoughts, and gave him a sharp look. "We three are done for. We'll go out ourselves and find someone to handle things. I've always known you've been thinking about this. Hurry up!" Lu Yun chuckled. "Fengyi姐 knows me best. Then I'll go. If I don't return, you two just go to sleep—don't wait for me." He quickly fetched his clothes, barely having time to tidy up the wet belongings left behind. In just a few moments, he dressed himself, said a quick goodbye to Chunlan and Qiuju, and stepped out of the room. "Chunlan nodded quietly, seemingly implying that there were some little secrets between Liu Fengyi and Lu Yun that were not yet known. Yet Chunlan wasn't foolish—Lu Yun had left at this very moment, and when she recalled what Liu Fengyi had said about him, she sensed that Lu Yun must have more than just Fengyi as a woman in the village. If that were true, then why hadn't Fengyi simply invited Lu Yun's other women—perhaps several—over, instead choosing to bring only herself and Qi Ju, her two sisters? Chunlan couldn't make sense of it, and was just beginning to wonder when Qi Ju suddenly softly hummed, a passage from the village beauty chapter 916. "Qi Ju, are you all right now? How do you feel?" Chunlan asked with concern. Autumn chrysanthemum saw Liu Fengyi standing right beside her, gazing at her with a smile that was half-smiling, half-quietly amused. Her face flushed slightly as she whispered, "Sister, I'm fine now. It's just that the water well downstairs feels empty—like something's missing—and it makes me a bit uneasy." Upon hearing this, Liu Fengyi burst out laughing softly and said, "Of course something's missing! Before, Land Yun's constant activities completely filled and thoroughly disrupted it. Now that Land Yun has gone, with nothing to fill your well, it naturally feels empty and hollow." Autumn chrysanthemum blushed again. If only she had known this would be the case, she wouldn't have been so confident and insisted on having Land Yun be so vigorous and forceful with her. Now, she's been overwhelmed by Land Yun's efforts in just a few attempts—exactly what Liu Fengyi has been watching with amusement. Chunlan observed her sister's ever-changing expression and knew she had been stirred by Liu Fengyi. She reassured her, "Qiuju, as long as you're fine, that's all that matters. Don't think it's just you—between us three, we haven't been able to rest at all, constantly being worn down by Lu Yun. Not one of us has ever managed to make Lu Yun release his water on the spot." Chunlan's words were indeed true: three experienced women, engaged in their usual activities, had all been defeated by Lu Yun alone—quite a source of embarrassment. Qiujue looked at Liu Fengyi and said, "Fengyi sister, I shouldn't have ignored your advice and insisted on holding on to Lu Yun..." Seeing Qiujue now experiencing the hardships and finally admitting her mistake, Liu Fengyi chuckled warmly, "Don't say any more. After all, we're sisters by blood. We just didn't want you to suffer. Now that it's all behind us, Lu Yun has gone out and is figuring out his own way to resolve things. Let's go to bed and rest well. He's been getting stronger and stronger lately—now is the time for us to prepare properly. Next time, we must pool our three forces and finally bring him to his knees." Chunlan and Qiujue nodded in agreement. The three women, like three luscious, white, unspoiled lambs, lay together and slowly drifted off to sleep.
