Chapter 91

Shen Qingli stepped back, giving way.

Cui Jingming also reluctantly made space. This pampered young master from the An family had indeed learned martial arts since he was a child, but he never realized he was just a half-baked fighter. He always thought his skills were unmatched, and he was arrogant.

He needed to learn a lesson, to understand the harshness of the world.

Fortunately, An’s father was reasonable. If he knew that An Yun had challenged a woman to a fight and got beaten up… he would probably have to make amends with a feast.

Zhou Yubai simply leaned to the side and dodged An Yun’s attack.

An Yun’s eyes gleamed, “Wow, you’ve trained too! This is interesting. Let’s have a good spar. Don’t cry if you lose!”

They fought for about ten minutes.

To be precise, Zhou Yubai beat An Yun for ten minutes. If not for Cui Jingming’s presence, he would have beaten him to a pulp. An Yun would only be breathing at this point.

Zhou Yubai coldly glanced at An Yun and walked to Shen Qingli’s side.

Shen Qingli, as if it were a normal thing, took out a handkerchief and wiped Zhou Yubai’s face.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Zhou Yubai chuckled, “It’s nothing.”

An Yun: Are you guys serious? Are you serious?

Cui Jingming held back his laughter as he helped An Yun up. Looking at An Yun’s bruised and swollen face, he almost burst out laughing. Zhou Yubai really went… straight for the face. Judging by the swelling, it would take at least half a month to heal.

Thinking about An Yun having to walk around with that face for half a month, Cui Jingming felt inexplicably happy.

“You… how are you so strong?” An Yun asked with a puffy face.

Zhou Yubai ignored him.

“You should go back to the car and wait. What if my wife wants to beat you up again?” Shen Qingli teased.

An Yun instinctively took a step back. Although he was a bit of a jerk, he was still smart. He could see that Shen Qingli was deliberately making him get beaten up!

She must have known he couldn’t beat her lover, so she said things like “If you win, I’ll consider it.”

Humph!

Women are the most poisonous!

The prettier they are, the more dangerous they are, woo woo.

After silently complaining in his heart, An Yun quickly got back into the car.

“Brother Cui, thank you for sending me the cloth so late.”

“It’s nothing. I’ll help you bring it to the courtyard.” Cui Jingming agreed, and together with Zhou Yubai, they carried the cloth to the platform in the backyard.

The platform was full of cloth.

Shen Qingli was overjoyed to see so much cloth.

“I’ll go up the mountain to collect herbs tomorrow, and I’ll pick some dyeing plants while I’m at it. Then I can start dyeing the cloth.” Shen Qingli smiled brightly.

Cui Jingming smiled along, “I’m curious to see what colors you can dye.”

“When I’m done, I’ll give you and Qingqing a bolt each.”

“Then we’ll thank you in advance.” Cui Jingming didn’t hesitate to accept.

It was getting late, so they didn’t chat much longer. He and An Yun left.

Zhou Yubai wasn’t in a good mood. Although he knew Shen Qingli was devoted to him, everyone who saw her thought she would leave him, and this made him feel uneasy.

“Yubai, sit down.”

Shen Qingli pulled Zhou Yubai to sit on the bench.

“What’s wrong?”

“Close your eyes.” Shen Qingli said mysteriously.

Zhou Yubai was obedient and closed his eyes, tilting his head back. He thought Shen Qingli was going to kiss him…

He felt a cool touch on his cheek, and he instinctively opened his eyes.

“Don’t move.”

Shen Qingli reminded him.

Zhou Yubai quickly closed his eyes again.

The soft, cool touch slowly spread over his scar. After a while…

“Okay, open your eyes.” Shen Qingli said softly.

“This is?”

“Scar removal cream, I made it myself.” Shen Qingli sat directly on Zhou Yubai’s lap, her hand around his neck. “You’ll have to look at your scar carefully these next few days. It’ll disappear soon.”

Zhou Yubai was stunned, then his deep, magnetic voice finally sounded, “Qingli, I must have used up all my luck in my last life to meet you in this one.”

“That’s right.” Shen Qingli responded proudly.

“I will always be good to you, forever.” Zhou Yubai said hoarsely, his lips brushing against Shen Qingli’s…

The night was filled with passion, and even the moon hid behind the clouds.

The next morning.

Shen Qingli and Zhou Yubai got up and put all the white cloth into the bamboo shed first. There were a lot of people coming and going in the courtyard, so it’s best to hide things.

Soon, Gu Qichuan and Gou Wa and Niu Niu came over for breakfast.

Shen Qingli was going to collect herbs, and she left early before the workers arrived.

Gou Wa wanted to follow Shen Qingli, but she was going to a deeper part of the mountain, so she asked the two kids to help Sun Xiuli and the others in the backyard.

She took Xiao Hei up the mountain.

It didn’t take long for the workers to arrive.

The courtyard was busy again.

Shen Qingli carried her bamboo basket up the mountain and let Xiao Hei go play as soon as she reached the top. Xiao Hei had been working hard taking care of the kids, so he needed some time to hunt.

Finally, some time for himself!

Xiao Hei ran around Shen Qingli for a few laps before dashing into the mountains!

Hey, little animals, missed me? I’m here!

Shen Qingli chuckled as she watched Xiao Hei run off, then quickened her pace and went deeper into the mountains…
