Wang Yumei wasn't angry at all. She leisurely picked up her clothes and started getting dressed.
She said, "I thought you were like a stone, without any desires, but it turns out you're just like those other men!"
Chen Erzhu's face flushed red.
Once Wang Yumei was dressed, she stood up and looked at Chen Erzhu with a teasing smile.
"Erzhu, you're a young man in your twenties, full of energy. If you have any needs, you can come to me! Or, you could go after Widow Bai. From my experience, she may look proper, but she's probably as fierce as a tigress, considering her husband has been gone for so many years! By then, the two beauties of Longhua Village serving you together would surely make you feel like you're in heaven!"
As she spoke, she leaned in and gave Chen Erzhu a quick peck on the cheek before stepping out.
Chen Erzhu panicked, "Hey, be careful not to be seen!"
But the woman seemed indifferent, "So what if I'm seen?"
Under Chen Erzhu's anxious gaze, Wang Yumei finally walked out of the small courtyard. Fortunately, Bai Yujie from the neighboring room didn't come out, otherwise, Chen Erzhu felt he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
Watching Wang Yumei's charming silhouette disappear into the night, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This woman was too troublesome!
He almost got into trouble because of her, that was close!
Damn, this woman was like a seductive fox, too good at tempting people, even he almost fell for her tricks.
Looks like he needs to be more careful in the future.
After all, he didn't want to become the subject of gossip in the village.
Besides, Wang Yumei's husband was still alive.
However, thinking back to the earlier intimacy, his heart was still racing, unable to calm down for a long time.
After all, it was the first time in his life he had such an encounter with a woman.
Truly, it was enchanting!
As he thought about it, he remembered Bai Yujie.
He couldn't help but imagine how Wang Yumei's undergarment would look on Bai Yujie, what a sight that would be!
Thinking about it made his mouth dry, so he hurriedly got up, took a gulp of cold water, and suppressed the swirling thoughts in his mind. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
He wondered how Bai Yujie was doing.
It seemed like she had a fierce argument with her wicked mother-in-law this time, otherwise, she wouldn't have left home so abruptly!
After pondering for a moment, he got up and went to knock on Bai Yujie's door.
Bai Yujie quickly opened the door. Seeing Chen Erzhu, she felt a bit nervous and uneasy for some reason.
"Sis, are you okay? What happened between you and your mother-in-law?" Chen Erzhu asked immediately after entering.
As soon as he asked, Bai Yujie's eyes welled up with tears, and she said, "Just because I talked to you a bit, she made a huge fuss, attracting many neighbors to watch the drama. I really can't stay in this village any longer. Erzhu, I'm begging you for a favor, okay?"
"What is it, sis? Just tell me," Chen Erzhu said, feeling a pang of sympathy for her. Bai Yujie's life was truly tough.
Bai Yujie wiped away her tears and said, "I... I want to go to town to find a job, but I'm unfamiliar with the place and don't know anyone there. Could you help me, take me to town, and help me find a job?"
She looked at Chen Erzhu with hopeful eyes.
Chen Erzhu agreed immediately, "Sure, no problem. I was planning to go to town tomorrow anyway, so you can come with me!"
"Really? That's great! Alright, it's settled then, we'll go to town together tomorrow!" Bai Yujie said joyfully.
"Of course, it's true. Alright, sis, you should rest early. I won't disturb you anymore!"
With that, Chen Erzhu left.
Back in his room, he locked the door and excitedly took out the two wild ginseng roots.
Finally, he could start nurturing them.
He was eager to see how much his Dragon Qi could enhance these wild ginseng roots.
Holding a root in each hand, he channeled his Dragon Qi into them.
Chen Erzhu watched as the ginseng roots began to grow visibly, emitting faint yellow-white glows, truly magical.
He was overjoyed; it actually worked.
He continued to infuse the ginseng with Dragon Qi.
After twenty minutes, he stopped. He looked somewhat exhausted, having depleted his Dragon Qi completely. The ginseng roots had grown by nearly half, from five or six centimeters to seven or eight, and they looked more vibrant, exuding a strong vitality.
These ginseng roots must be at least fifteen years old now.
Still not enough.
He began practicing the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art to restore his Dragon Qi. Once fully restored, he would nurture the ginseng again.
Throughout the night, he nurtured the ginseng five times.
The ginseng roots grew to about seventeen or eighteen centimeters, thick and robust, radiating pure, vibrant energy. Just a whiff was enough to invigorate the senses.
He estimated that the ginseng roots were now at least thirty years old.
He wondered how much they could sell for.
By now, dawn was breaking.
He found a box, carefully stored the ginseng roots, and began meditating to restore his Dragon Qi.
After more than an hour, when daylight fully arrived, he opened his eyes. His Dragon Qi was completely restored, even increased compared to the previous day, indicating progress in his Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art.
Satisfied, he smiled, got up, and opened the door.
He was taken aback when he stepped out.
In the kitchen, a beautiful figure was busy, and the dining table was already set with a variety of delicious dishes.
Bai Yujie, wearing an apron that perfectly highlighted her slender waist, was bustling around.
Despite her busyness, her elegance was undeniable.
"Erzhu, you're awake. Wash up and come eat! I made chive dumplings, hope they suit your taste?"
