Chapter 494 - 271: Changliu Village, the East and West Rooms, a Beautiful Symphony
Lu Ruyan?
"A good name!"
"Ruyan, why don’t you thank your grandpa?"
Lu Ruyan climbed onto the kang, gave her grandpa a kiss, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Having taken the Elixir, Su Liyan’s father had already recovered. He pulled his little granddaughter into a hug. "My dear granddaughter, you should sleep with Grandpa tonight!"
"Okay! I love sleeping with Grandma and Grandpa the most." Lu Ruyan was such a sweet-talker. She wasn’t the least bit shy with strangers and was utterly charming.
Liyan’s father held Ruyan and said, "My dear granddaughter, tomorrow is market day. Grandpa will buy you some tasty treats!"
"Grandpa, you have to promise! You have to buy lots and lots of treats!" Lu Ruyan said, tugging on her grandpa’s beard.
This made everyone burst into laughter.
「Night fell.」
Lu Yuan and Su Liyan lay in the west room, while their daughter, Lu Ruyan, lay with her grandparents in the east room.
The old house only had two rooms. As children, Su Liyan and her brother shared a room, sleeping on opposite ends of the kang. They’d always kick each other in their sleep, and the two siblings loved to fight!
Su Liyan whispered, "Darling, is the mattress too thin? Can’t you sleep?"
’Lu Yuan’s mind was racing with too many thoughts, so he couldn’t fall asleep.’ He replied, "No, I’m just thinking about some things."
Su Liyan turned on her side, took Lu Yuan’s hand, and cooed, "Am I not beautiful enough for you? You’re lying next to me and still thinking about other things?"
The faint moonlight filtering through the paper window illuminated the room, which was now very quiet.
In the moonlight, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan could vaguely make out each other’s faces.
Su Liyan pressed close to Lu Yuan’s ear and breathed out, her warm breath tickling him.
Su Liyan pretended to be scared. "Darling, your... thing... it won’t break me, will it?"
Lu Yuan turned on his side and cupped her soft, plump breasts, one in each hand. "Honey, I don’t think this is a good idea. The two rooms are so close together. They’ll hear any little sound we make!"
Su Liyan giggled and whispered, "Darling, since when did you get so shy? This earthen kang isn’t like a bed. It won’t make a sound no matter how much we shake it."
Su Liyan’s intentions couldn’t be more obvious. ’What’s there to be afraid of? Just come and take me!’
Su Liyan knew better than anyone what her darling liked best: the more unusual something was, the more he treasured it.
Lu Yuan wasn’t sure either. He said, "I don’t know why, but as my Cultivation improves, it’s also been growing and showing off its might!"
’I don’t remember being this... exaggerated before,’ Lu Yuan thought. ’Cultivating the Holy Body shouldn’t change my physical structure. It must be because I entered the Celestial Monarch Realm. My body is undergoing a secondary transformation!’
’If I work hard, it might even grow a little longer!’
"Darling, you’re just amazing. I love it so much!"
A sound from an unknown source kept coming... Su Liyan was afraid her darling was playing a trick on her. It would be so embarrassing if her parents in the east room heard.
Su Liyan shot up and pressed a finger to Lu Yuan’s lips, trying to silence him.
But Lu Yuan’s mouth was shut tight, yet the sound persisted. Only then did Su Liyan realize it wasn’t him talking.
Su Liyan pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sounds outside. Over the whistling of the cold wind against the paper window, she could still faintly hear something different.
"How strange. There are no neighbors around here. Who could be moaning like that?" Su Liyan was puzzled.
Lu Yuan pointed to the other room—the east room where his mother-in-law was.
Su Liyan wouldn’t believe it for a second. "Darling, what are you thinking! Mom and Dad are so old, how could they?"
In all the time Su Liyan had spent at home, she hadn’t heard that kind of sound for at least five or six years, which meant the old couple had long since stopped that sort of thing.
Although the sounds from the east room were being suppressed, if one listened carefully, they could still make out what was happening. That was an undeniable fact.
’Could it really be true?’ Su Liyan still found it hard to believe.
Lu Yuan gave her a firm squeeze, making Su Liyan whimper. He grinned and said, "Honey, if you have these kinds of needs, why wouldn’t your mother? She’s a woman in her prime, like a tigress!"
"Nonsense! Dad hasn’t been with Mom for a long time..." Su Liyan stopped mid-sentence.
The sounds from the east room suddenly grew louder before being quickly muffled again. This time it was much clearer, and Su Liyan no longer doubted her darling’s words.
"Ooh, honey, so you even know how often your parents get together!" Lu Yuan chuckled. As he spoke, he suddenly remembered the Elixir his father-in-law had taken during the day.
While Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were talking, his ’thing’ slowly went soft. A realization dawned on him. "Honey, I gave my father-in-law the wrong medicine!"
"Ah? Wasn’t it a Healing Pill?" Su Liyan asked in surprise. "Don’t tell me it was a Joyful Powder?"
"It was a Healing Pill, but it was of a much higher grade. I shouldn’t have given him one of such high quality. His body can’t handle it," Lu Yuan explained.
Su Liyan had never understood Alchemy or Elixirs, so she asked, "Will there be any side effects?"
Lu Yuan stammered, "Yes, there... there will be... How should I put this? The medicinal power needs to be vented!"
Hearing this, Su Liyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She flirted, "Oh, so that’s it, darling! You’re trying to set up both me and my mother, are you? I ought to bite it right off!"
Since things had already come to this, as long as no one’s health was at risk, Su Liyan decided not to worry about it. Let her parents have their fun!
With that, Su Liyan ducked back down to help Lu Yuan get started again!
Their daughter, Lu Ruyan, slept soundly beside her grandparents, completely unaware of what they were doing.
What else is there to do?
Here’s a song for all of you: "This is Love."
