Chapter 163: A picnic with the women

"Such a heavy smell of vinegar. A'Zi, did you smell it?"

Lin Fan looked at the jealous Huang Rong and smiled. Why had this little vinegar jar been overturned again?

"Brother-in-law, A'Zi smells it. It's your Rong'er's vinegar jar that's been overturned!"

A'Zi cooperated with Lin Fan in teasing Huang Rong.

"Hmph, Brother Fan, I'm not jealous. I'm just afraid your villa is too small to hold all your women."

Huang Rong pouted and changed the subject, signaling A'Zhu to help her out.

"The Young Master is right. It was A'Zhu who was too formal. I won't be so distant in the future!"

A'Zhu understood and bowed slightly.

"Look, there you go again. Come here!"

Lin Fan frowned at the overly polite A'Zhu and gestured for her to come over.

A'Zhu moved with lotus steps to Lin Fan’s side, her large eyes looking at him curiously, wondering why he had called her.

Lin Fan walked up to her, pinched her left cheek, and said with a smile: "Call me husband and let me hear it!"

"Young Master, mm..."

A'Zhu was about to speak when Lin Fan pinched her right cheek as well.

"Husband!"

A'Zhu had no choice but to roll her eyes at Lin Fan with her large eyes and obediently call him husband.

Lin Fan released her with satisfaction, and A'Zhu quickly scurried back to Huang Rong’s side.

Then A'Zhu complained in a low voice: "Rong'er, because I helped you change the subject, I got my face pinched by the Young Master. You have to compensate me; I want to eat an extra roasted rabbit!"

"Fine, then I'll roast one for you!"

Huang Rong covered her mouth and giggled. I told you to change the subject, not to change it like that.

"What roasted rabbit? You aren't planning on targeting the rabbits raised in my villa, are you?"

Lv He looked up and asked upon hearing this.

She had caught those rabbits herself and had been feeding them; the mother rabbit had even given birth to a litter of bunnies two days ago.

"Those rabbits give birth to a litter every month or two, seven or eight at a time. If we don't eat them, the Young Master’s villa won't be for people to live in, but just for raising rabbits!"

Seeing that Lv He was unhappy, A'Zhu hurriedly invoked Lin Fan to get Lv He to compromise.

"That won't do. At the very least, we have to let this litter of bunnies grow up before we can eat the big ones. Otherwise, who will give birth to the next litter?"

Lv He still disagreed. This was only the first litter; it would be better to wait until the newly born litter grew up.

"No need to argue. I'll go catch two!"

Yang Yan looked at the two women and shook her head helplessly. They really had the temperament of children.

She then used her light-body technique to head deep into the woods; weren't there plenty of rabbits?

Soon she returned carrying two rabbits and handed them to Huang Rong. The two rabbits had been struck in the forehead by her meteor darts; they were clearly dead as could be.

"Senior Sister, do you usually live a life like this?"

Little Dragon Maiden stood to the side, holding Li Li Mochou’s hand, looking at the group of beauties competing for attention, feeling truly dazzled.

"Isn't this good? This is what life is. The days in the Ancient Tomb Sect were too hard to bear. Long'er, why don't you stay and roam the Wu Lin with us?"

"But as the Sect Master of the Ancient Tomb Sect, how can I indulge in pleasure? And I must obey the ancestral grandmother’s last instructions."

"The ancestral grandmother has been resurrected; she is the true Sect Master of the Ancient Tomb Sect. And do you understand why she set such rules back then? It was because of her own affair with Wang Wang Chongyang; she was afraid that future generations of the tomb would repeat the same mistakes. But you have seen my husband; he is serious and responsible toward his women. Although there are many of them, he treats them all equally. Unlike Wang Wang Chongyang, who was timid his whole life and never dared to take that step, eventually leaving the ancestral grandmother to die in sorrow."

Li Li Mochou looked happily at Lin Fan, who was surrounded by women. Life is but a few short decades; if one does not love in time, one will regret it in old age.

She had wasted many years because of Lu Lu Zhanyuan, and now she could not afford to waste a single moment. Since she had chosen Lin Fan, she would love him boldly; nothing else mattered.

"Do you think the ancestral grandmother might have a diary copy?"

Little Dragon Maiden was silent for a moment, then asked Li Li Mochou seriously.

"She probably does. I see that this diary copy exists to help my husband expand his harem, so I suspect any beautiful woman in the Wu Lin will have one. But whether they will end up with my husband because of it, I do not know."

"Then if the ancestral grandmother really ends up with Lin Fan, how will you conduct yourself?"

Little Dragon Maiden suddenly asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten? I have already been expelled from the Ancient Tomb by my master, so strictly speaking, she is not my ancestral grandmother, only yours. But you don't need to worry; she was only forty-five when she died in sorrow, so she isn't much older than you."

Li Li Mochou patted Little Dragon Maiden’s hand to reassure her.

"Even if the ancestral grandmother follows Lin Fan, what does that have to do with me? I am going to find Zhang Zhang Sanfeng. Senior Sister, are you coming with me?"

Little Dragon Maiden’s face suddenly turned red. She didn't know if she liked Lin Fan; strictly speaking, she didn't even know what "liking" meant.

But she wanted to escape from here now, because staying here gave her strange feelings, feelings she had never had while in the Ancient Tomb.

"Where are you going to find Zhang Zhang Sanfeng? I heard from Miss Wuqing that you were going the wrong way. You intended to go to Hengyang City to find me, but ended up at the foot of Mount Song. The Wu Lin is so vast, and you are inexperienced and have no sense of direction. How can I allow you to go find Zhang Zhang Sanfeng alone?"

Li Li Mochou firmly disagreed with Little Dragon Maiden leaving alone.

"But the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra..."

"Zhang Zhang Sanfeng has a diary copy and has received rewards from it. She might even take the initiative to approach my husband in the future. If you leave and she arrives, what will you do then?"

Little Dragon Maiden was finally persuaded by Li Li Mochou, because roaming the Wu Lin with Lin Fan had a higher chance of success than her searching for Zhang Zhang Sanfeng alone.

"Dinner is ready!"

Huang Rong called everyone to eat. It was fortunate that there were people to help; otherwise, she didn't know how long she would have had to wait to cook for so many people.

Lin Fan and the women gathered around to enjoy the food. Little Dragon Maiden, who had been clamoring to leave, now had her mouth stuffed like a squirrel; it seemed she was not only a homebody but also a foodie.

"Everyone, my wife and I have been traveling and have run out of dry rations. We are feeling quite hungry. May we buy some food?"

A man and a woman walked over slowly. Seeing Lin Fan and the others eating happily, they suddenly asked.

Lin Fan looked up and saw a man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, looking honest and loyal, and a woman with willow-leaf eyebrows and cherry lips, looking like a delicate beauty.

Seeing Lin Fan look over, the man bowed.

Lin Fan nodded slightly and tossed a roasted rabbit over.

"Many thanks, Young Master. Here are ten taels of silver as a token of our appreciation!"

The man threw a silver ingot over, but Lin Fan flicked it lightly, and the silver flew back into the man’s hand.

"Meeting is fate. It’s just a roasted rabbit; consider it a gift."
