Chapter 510 - 279: Aunt Song Gives Birth
A black satin silk slip dress with a high slit?
Gu Gaoxu had never seen one, but he’d heard of it!
Gu Gaoxu recognized it at a glance and could even remember its long name, all because Lu Yuan had left such a deep impression on him.
Once, while they were drinking and bragging, Lu Yuan had claimed that high-slit dresses could boost a man’s hormone production, and that its full name was the "black satin silk slip dress with a high slit."
Gu Gaoxu hadn’t understood, even asking what "hormones" were.
Lu Yuan, holding a wine jar with a flushed face, had said, "With these nimble hands of mine, I’ll sew a set for your sister-in-law to wear one day!"
After that, the two of them drank the entire tavern dry!
Gu Gaoxu never would have imagined that Brother Lu was actually serious. His sister-in-law was really wearing it!
Hanging upside down, Gu Gaoxu became lost in his own reverie, making a series of "TSK TSK TSK" sounds.
"Brother Lu, you’re amazing! I really thought you were just bragging, but I never expected you to actually create such a sexy high-slit dress!"
Tonight, Su Liyan was wearing the high-slit dress as a nightgown. She had been about to go to sleep when she heard the sounds of fighting outside the mansion and Aunt Song’s pained cries, so she had run to Aunt Song’s room without even thinking to change.
Later, when Lu Yuan told Su Liyan to go protect Gu Gaoxu, she had initially moved quickly along the eaves of the corridor specifically to avoid the servants and Mansion Guards.
She never expected that, before she could change out of her nightgown, she would smell a foul, bloody stench and know Gu Gaoxu was in danger, so she came straight over.
And this gave Gu Gaoxu quite the view.
Gu Gaoxu stared blankly at Su Liyan’s sexy dress, having long forgotten the pain in his face.
Su Liyan, however, was currently focused on the giant spider and had no time to pay Gu Gaoxu any mind.
"Wait! What’s this?" Gu Gaoxu’s eyes were fixed on the long legs revealed by the slit in her dress.
’Could these be the black silk stockings Brother Lu talked about?’ Gu Gaoxu’s drool was practically running into his nostrils.
Gu Gaoxu slapped himself across his uninjured left cheek.
He cursed himself internally, ’Gu Gaoxu, oh, Gu Gaoxu, what the hell are you thinking?’
Initially, Su Liyan had been reluctant to wear such tight-fitting black stockings, thinking them improper.
But she couldn’t resist Lu Yuan’s coaxing, so she wore them a few times in front of him.
Every time she put them on, Lu Yuan would ravage her with incredible vigor.
Later, Su Liyan discovered that the form-fitting garments were actually quite warm, and she gradually grew to like wearing the black stockings underneath her clothes.
Gu Gaoxu muttered, "Sister-in-law looks so sexy in them. First thing tomorrow, I’ve got to ask Brother Lu for a few pairs to take home for my own wife!"
Just as Gu Gaoxu was letting his imagination run wild, the giant spider on the rafters lunged violently at Su Liyan, trying to strike first.
The giant spider brought its eight legs together, turning itself into something like a drill as it charged Su Liyan.
Su Liyan let out a furious roar and immediately underwent atavism!
A thick, white tail appeared out of thin air, whipping wildly from side to side and slamming against the doorframe behind her with a loud BANG! BANG!
The pair of black stockings on her legs instantly burst apart, shredding into countless strips of black cloth that scattered in all directions.
One strip of black cloth happened to land right on Gu Gaoxu’s face.
He couldn’t help but let out a cry of admiration. When he looked back at his sister-in-law, Su Liyan, however, the ferocious sight of her human torso and serpentine tail scared him so badly that he immediately dropped the tattered piece of stocking in his hand.
Gu Gaoxu gave Su Liyan a sheepish grin, unsure if she had seen what he’d just done.
With a slight twist of her slender waist, Su Liyan’s snake tail whipped around and slammed the lunging spider into the window.
The giant spider crashed through the window and fell into the courtyard below.
Hearing the sounds of battle from the central courtyard, some of the Mansion Guards from the front courtyard rushed over.
They saw a giant spider locked in combat with a Snake Woman—and that Snake Woman was their boss’s wife.
The giant spider shook its body, and a dense swarm of tiny spiders suddenly appeared, spreading out in all directions.
These small spiders scurried toward the crowd.
Among the Mansion Guards, the Travelers brandished their swords and slashed, the Celestial Masters cast their Talismans, and the Spirit Binders raised their Spirit Capturing Devices to summon their own Xingzi to join the fray.
The scene rapidly descended into chaos.
A short while ago, a unit of Imperial Cavalry had entered Taiping City through the west gate with great fanfare, heading straight for the Lu Mansion.
The General leading the Imperial Cavalry held a mobilization order issued by the Court’s Ministry of War. The guards at Taiping City’s gate dared not stop them and let them pass.
After the cavalry entered the city, one of the gate guards said, "I need to report this to the County Magistrate. You guys hold the fort here."
Now, not only the Lu Mansion but the entire city of Taiping had been thrown into turmoil. The common folk locked their doors, terrified of being caught in the crossfire.
Meanwhile, in Song Meiqin’s room, Lu Yuan was holding Aunt Song’s legs apart and said:
"Aunt Song, push! The baby’s head is coming out!"
Aunt Song screamed and pushed with all her might. After letting out a few loud farts, she finally pushed the baby’s head out.
Lu Yuan gently took hold of the baby’s arms and pulled it the rest of the way out.
Song Meiqin’s whole body went limp. She lay there, panting heavily.
"WAH! WAH!"
The infant’s cries were loud and clear. Even amidst the clamor in the Lu Mansion, everyone within could hear them.
Lu Yuan holding the baby, Gu Ziye hiding in her room, Zhao Qiao’er watching over her two daughters, Xiaotian concealed beneath the rockery, Gu Gaoxu still hanging from the rafters, and all the Mansion Guards—they all exclaimed:
"The baby’s born! It’s born!"
The sound of the baby’s cries made Su Liyan’s strikes even more powerful, as she resolved to end the fight quickly.
She needed to go see Aunt Song’s baby.
