Chapter 476 - 262: If You Want to Mess With Me, Just Say So. Don’t Beat Around the Bush.
Early the next morning, Lu Yuan emerged, leaning against the doorframe.
Lu Yuan clutched his lower back, which felt like it was about to snap, and walked with heavy, deliberate steps.
He let out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Lu Yuan muttered nonstop, "Ouch, ouch, my poor back! Oh my god, this is just too much!
"I don’t mind going for a long time, or many rounds, but if I hadn’t used my Holy Body, I never would have been able to hold her up for that long!"
Getting her ’little boy’ to go potty was Zhao Qiao’Er’s favorite thing to do!
Perfectly content, Zhao Qiao’Er had a smile she couldn’t wipe off her face. She straightened her clothes and went out to help her "big nephew."
Supporting him, Aunt Zhao said with a laugh, "My sweet darling, starting today, I’m going on a diet! I really wore you out, didn’t I?"
Zhao Qiao’Er felt a pang of pity for her nephew; she had been too impulsive last night.
It wouldn’t have been a problem if Zhao Qiao’Er had been on the bottom, but she gave Lu Yuan absolutely no chance to catch his breath.
Whenever Lu Yuan lay flat on his back, Zhao Qiao’Er would relentlessly climb on top, forcing Lu Yuan to spend the latter half of the night sleeping on his stomach.
And whenever Lu Yuan showed the slightest sign of flagging, Zhao Qiao’Er would feed him her feet.
All night long, she hadn’t given Lu Yuan a moment’s peace.
Lu Yuan shot her a sidelong glance and said, "Aunt Zhao, you must be satisfied now. Tonight, I’m begging you, please spare my life!"
Zhao Qiao’Er immediately tilted her head up and said, "Not a chance!"
"Huh?"
Lu Yuan’s jaw dropped in disbelief. ’My god,’ he thought, ’how thirsty can one woman be! She wanted it six times in one night. Even a breeding donkey doesn’t get worked that hard!’
Zhao Qiao’Er threw her arms around Lu Yuan and said with a grin, "Sweetheart, you’re finally back. You have to give me a good, thorough poking!"
Resigned, Lu Yuan could only nod in agreement.
Early that morning, Su Liyan and Gu Ziye were walking to Song Meiqin’s room. Song Meiqin was heavily pregnant now, and they were all good sisters.
It was the second day after their return to the mansion, and they decided to go visit Song Meiqin.
Along the way, Su Liyan and Gu Ziye hid around a corner. Hearing Lu Yuan’s earlier conversation, they covered their mouths to stifle their laughter.
Lu Yuan managed to straighten his back a little and called out, "You two, stop hiding. Come on out!"
Hearing their man call for them, the two of them jumped out, giggling.
Gu Ziye laughed. "Lu Yuan~ Aunt Zhao, you’re up! What a coincidence!"
Lu Yuan coughed and asked, "Where are you two headed?"
Su Liyan answered, "We thought you and Aunt Zhao were still asleep, so we were going to visit Aunt Song first."
Lu Yuan quickly said, "Great! Let’s go together!"
Lu Yuan, with his three women in tow, went to Song Meiqin’s room.
Song Meiqin wasn’t up yet. Being pregnant, she tended to sleep in a bit.
Lu Yuan pushed the door open, startling Song Meiqin awake.
Lying on the earthen kang bed, Song Meiqin waved them in.
Song Meiqin looked at Zhao Qiao’Er and said, "So? Had a good time last night?"
Zhao Qiao’Er glanced at the others and exclaimed, "Of course! My darling is just amazing. It was absolutely heavenly!"
Song Meiqin nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you were braying like a donkey all night. Sounded like you’d rather be in pain than stop!"
Song Meiqin’s and Zhao Qiao’Er’s rooms were right next to each other, so Song Meiqin had heard everything clearly.
Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought Lu Yuan was fucking Zhao Qiao’Er to death.
Song Meiqin and Zhao Qiao’Er’s conversation made everyone else present blush furiously, and Lu Yuan in particular started to sweat.
Lu Yuan quickly changed the subject. "Aunt Song, I refined these three elixirs to ensure a safe pregnancy and calm the mind. Please take them. One a day is all you need."
Song Meiqin took the hint, accepted the elixirs, and started talking about other things...
One afternoon, Lu Yuan took his wives and a group of his close followers to the Martial Hall outside the city.
While Lu Yuan’s group was still some distance away, they entered the Martial Hall’s surveillance zone, and the surveillance system on the compound wall began to beep.
A few guards standing post at the Martial Hall’s gate saw the large group approaching in the distance and blew the whistles hanging on their chests.
It had been a long time since so many people had charged straight for the Martial Hall outside the city.
Hearing the whistles from the gate, a dozen or so more people rushed out from inside the Martial Hall, led by Fifth Brother Liu carrying his Heavy Sword.
Fifth Brother Liu took a closer look—wasn’t that the Boss and the Boss’s Ladies?
Fifth Brother Liu slapped the weapon of the person next to him. "Lower them! Lower your weapons! Our Boss is back!"
The Mansion Guards spontaneously formed two rows, puffing out their chests like an honor guard awaiting inspection!
But this honor guard was no mere decoration; every one of them possessed real skill.
As Lu Yuan approached, the Mansion Guards shouted in unison, "Boss! Boss’s Ladies!"
Hearing the shouts from outside, everyone else in the Martial Hall Courtyard ran in perfect formation to the inside of the main gate and fell into line.
Lu Yuan entered the Martial Hall’s main gate with his entourage. The crowd in the courtyard roared with the force of an avalanche, "Boss! Boss’s Ladies!"
Looking at the assembled Mansion Guards, Lu Yuan thought, ’So this is what it feels like to be General of the Morning Star, Jin Xiaopang’Er. This is the treatment he gets!’
Lu Yuan asked Fifth Brother Liu, "How has training been going these past days while I was away?"
Fifth Brother Liu said with a grin, "To be honest, Boss, saying ’a hundred shots, a hundred hits’ would be bragging. But within a hundred paces, it’s a bullseye every single time."
"Good!" Lu Yuan praised.
Lu Yuan rolled up his sleeves. "I won’t test the results of the Travelers’ training. I’m here to test the progress of the Grand Celestial Masters."
Lu Yuan leaped onto the sparring platform and said, "Three of you, get up here!"
When Lu Yuan first recruited them, these Mansion Guards consisted of 38 Grand Celestial Masters, 147 Celestial Masters, 86 Spirit Binders, and 280 Travelers.
