Chapter 328: Turning Adversity into Opportunity This content comprises the textual material of Chapter 328 of "Rural Beauty in Her Prime." Yang Yanping suddenly giggled softly and playfully, "You've certainly grown quite capable, and your standards are quite high! I'm not less beautiful than she is, yet you treat me so harshly for her sake. After all, I'm no weak, delicate girl who can't lift a chicken—just a little push and I'm as good as dead. Why do you go out of your way to make such a fuss over me?" "You're indeed beautiful—probably more so than any female teacher at the school. But no one at the school matches your sheer lack of decency. You and Xinlan have a long-standing grudge, so why not settle it face to face? Instead, you resort to such underhanded tactics, leveraging me to do all this. And you even go so far as to court a mere nobody to take advantage of Xinlan—hmm, just that alone makes you the most unprincipled and contemptible woman in the school." "Hey, young man, watch your tongue! Don't think I won't give you a good scolding. This content is from Chapter 328 of 'Rural Beauty.' " Yang Yanping's face turned pale, and she snapped, "How do you know your sister Xinlan isn't a lowly, unprincipled woman? How well do you know her? What do you know about her background?" Lu Yun replied coldly, "I don't know much. All I know is that she's been very kind to me..." Yang Yanping interrupted, disdainfully, "She's been kind to you—well, kind in bed, at least. As for the little troubles between you two, I could figure them out just by thinking with my toes." "Give me the antidote," Lu Yun said, concerned about Fei Xinlan, with no time to waste on small talk with Yang Yanping. He asked again for the remedy. Yang Yanping smiled slightly, "What benefit do I get by giving you the antidote? What's in it for me?" Lu Yun was momentarily at a loss for words. Since Yang Yanping had gone to such lengths to undermine Fei Xinlan, she certainly wouldn't hand over the antidote easily. Yet... "Why aren't you speaking? Very well, I'll give you the antidote—on one condition." Lu Yun was overjoyed, furrowed his brow and asked, "What's going on? As long as you can provide me with the remedy, I'll gladly accept being slaughtered." Yang Yanping chuckled softly, gently tracing her finger along his cheek, and said, "I wouldn't dare to slaughter you. My request is quite simple—it's something between me and Tie Xinlan. You mustn't grow displeased with me over this, and you must still treat me as before. Can you promise that?" Lu Yun was clearly taken aback—what kind of condition was this? He couldn't quite grasp what Yang Yanping had in mind. Yet he readily agreed, "Alright, I promise. But from now on, you can't treat Xinlan sister any more with such underhanded tactics." Upon hearing this, Yang Yanping looked at Lu Yun and sighed, "A dog that can't be tamed—such an ungrateful one! I've always been fair to you, favoring Xinlan sister every step of the way." "Lu Yun didn't deny that Yang Yanping had actually been very kind to him, but the first time she had nearly undermined him with her misty vapor, he had developed some lingering prejudices. Over these days of interaction, his impression of her had greatly improved—indeed, with a bit more time, he could have compared her favorably even with Tie Xinlan. Yet he hadn't expected her to use him as a means to undermine Xinlan. That was already enough; but now, she had also arranged a male teacher to take advantage of Xinlan, which made his frustration truly unmanageable. "Now, could you please give me the remedy?" Lu Yun was anxious, the longer the delay, the more suffering Xinlan would endure. "What's there to be anxious about?" Yang Yanping glanced at him coldly, speaking with firmness. "Just look at your drooping expression—I'm really going to let you be so unappealing? Call me 'Miss' for once!" "Lu Yun was so desperate he felt like he was about to hit the wall. Yet since he had to ask for help, he managed to force a smile and pleaded, "Yanping Sister, please—just this once—give me the antidote first, treat Xinlan Sister right away, and then I'll come right over to hear your instructions!" Yang Yanping gave a sharp exclamation, then calmly walked to the bedside, flipping through the bedding and pulling out a small porcelain bottle, which she held between her fingers and said to Lu Yun, "This was your own promise, wasn't it? As soon as Fei Xinlan takes the antidote, you're supposed to come right here—this content is from Chapter 328 of 'Rural Beauty.' " Lu Yun stepped forward and seized the bottle from her hands, gently shaking it. A soft chime echoed inside, indicating it contained liquid. He hesitated and asked, "Then, how should I use it? Should I take it orally?" Yang Yanping nodded and said, "Go now—by the time you arrive, the antidote will have lost its effectiveness." Hearing this, Lu Yun grew increasingly anxious. Without even saying goodbye to Yang Yanping, he dashed out As Landun rushed toward Ironxinlan's office, the Wang surname physical education teacher had vanished without a trace. With no time to spare, he burst into the room and found Ironxinlan's cheeks blazing red like flames. He touched her hand—she was scorching hot, and her consciousness half-drowsy. Her hands kept moving restlessly over her body, while she murmured softly and tenderly. "Big sister Ironxinlan, I've brought the remedy here—soon you'll be fine," Landun said, lifting her up and opening the bottle to pour the medicine into her mouth. "Landun..." Ironxinlan blinked open her eyes, her gaze full of yearning. Before Landun could bring the medicine to her lips, she grasped his member firmly. "I want..." Landun gasped in pain, yet held on, pressing the mouth of the porcelain bottle firmly against Ironxinlan's lips as she spoke, pouring the entire bottle of remedy into her mouth. To his surprise, after drinking the tonic, Fei Xinxian immediately grew calm. She slowly released her grip on Lu Yun's hand, gently cleared her throat, and murmured, "I feel so sleepy." Seeing Fei Xinxian's complexion gradually returning to normal, Lu Yun finally exhaled in relief and softly said, "Miss Xinxian, go rest now." "Please don't leave. Stay with me." With those words, she drifted off into sleep. Lu Yun rose to wipe the sweat from her face with a towel. After waiting over ten minutes and confirming that Fei Xinxian was truly asleep, he quietly stepped out of the office, the door locking behind him without a sound. Having promised Yang Yanping that he would make the trip no matter what, Lu Yun was especially reassured that Fei Xinxian was now fine—this was more important than anything else. With the door securely closed, he took a deep breath and walked toward Yang Yanping's office. ... Rural Beauty 328, Main Text 328: Successfully Overcoming Adversity – Updated!
