The Country Beauty 420, Main Text 420—Well, it's simply not up to par. (Second update) 420 Chapter: Well, it's simply not up to par. Lu Yun was already quite excited. He hadn't expected that after flipping through just a few pages, the characters seemed to stand vividly before him, each movement full of potent impact, with no trace of being mere filler. This content is the textual material from Chapter 420 of "The Country Beauty." Lu Yun didn't know what Fei Xinlan was thinking, but he clearly understood that this was only a partial, incomplete version of the martial arts manual. Still, it was more than sufficient—far superior to the various fighting techniques he had purchased at market stalls. Nodding eagerly, Lu Yun beamed with delight, "Miss Xinlan, the techniques on this fighting manual look so detailed and elaborate!" He marveled, murmuring in admiration. Tie Xinlan smiled and said, "Alright, I've fulfilled all the promises I made to you. As the saying goes, 'Once the door is opened, the path of cultivation lies in the individual.' Though I'm not your formal teacher, the extent to which you master the techniques in the martial arts manual depends entirely on your own insight—don't expect me to constantly point things out to you." Tie Xinlan turned around and said seriously, "Honestly, I don't have any idea about this. However, the martial arts manual has now been handed over to you. You must practice it diligently—don't let me down!" Lu Yun nodded solemnly and replied, "I'll remember that. Then I'll go back." Tie Xinlan agreed readily, looking at the book in her hands without saying a word. This section is from Chapter 420 of 'Rural Beauty.' Lu Yun felt something was off, though he couldn't quite figure out where the issue lay—was there something hidden in the martial arts manual itself? Seeing Tie Xinlan's rare coldness toward him, Lu Yun's initial small hopes faded completely. As he was about to leave, Tie Xinlan suddenly added, "Just keep your usual fuss under control for a few days, and focus on studying the manual." Lu Yun turned around and smiled playfully, "Miss Xinlan, I thought once you gave me this martial arts manual, you'd stop paying any attention to me. Hehe." "Fei Xinlan said with a sigh, 'I've always been lazy about paying attention to you. Every time I see you, you're all about that—there's not a single pure thought in your head!'" Tie Xinlan slightly raised her head and, upon seeing his gaze, suddenly grasped the meaning behind his words, scolding, "Go on, you're already quite large—after all the times you've squeezed me, now it's even more swollen! Do you feel particularly proud of yourself?" Hmm... Lu Yun watched the broad expanse of snow-white skin in his eyes gradually expand, and chuckled, "I must admit I feel a bit proud, though I should credit it to Xinlan sister, too, right?" Knowing Lu Yun was skilled at persistent persistence, Tie Xinlan couldn't help but be curious, and giggled, "Little rascal, hurry up and go back—what new mischief do you have in mind?" "I just wanted to hold you close. I didn't plan on doing anything else." Lu Yun said, extending his arms and embracing Tie Xinlan. Tie Xinlan struggled slightly before allowing herself to be held, her breath warming against his body, her cheeks flushing warmly. She whispered, "I really mean it—please pay close attention to that martial arts manual these days. Don't let this matter distract you." "Held in Land Yun's arms, Iron Xinlan clearly sensed that the little troublemaker was starting to act less cooperative. "Oh, this content is from Chapter 420 of 'Rural Beauty.' "Land Yun replied, suddenly speaking in a low, mischievous tone. "So now, shall we proceed with that?" "Go on, I've already told you—don't come bothering me here these days." Iron Xinlan gave him a withering look. "Why not?" Land Yun was puzzled. In the past, Iron Xinlan had always said this, but once he gently pressed, she'd soon give in. Yet now, her expression was resolute, and her tone showed absolutely no room for compromise. Iron Xinlan suddenly felt a bit shy, a blush rising on her cheeks, and murmured softly, "Just don't ask—no matter what, it won't work." Lu Yun was a bit at a loss, confused by Iron Xinlan's soft, slightly shy words, which didn't sound like a genuine refusal at all. Feeling frustrated, he glanced casually at the package of护舒宝 on the bed—just opened—and immediately understood what was going on. He leaned close to her ear, smiling mischievously. "Xinlan, are you visiting relatives?" "Of course you know that," Xinlan blushed deeply. Seeing her cheeks turn pink, Lu Yun chuckled. "Isn't that exactly what you're doing? I thought you didn't want to come at all. Is what's on your bed enough for you? If not, I'll go fetch some more from elsewhere." Upon hearing this, Xinlan quickly replied, "Are you going to Yang Yanping's? Hmph, didn't I suffer enough last time?" "Lu Yun had only mentioned it casually, never expecting Iron Xinlan to recall the incident from last time, which left her rather embarrassed: "Xinlan姐, I'm sorry about the matter last time—we've already settled it. By the way, did that guy who tried to take advantage of you last time come to school?" Xinlan huffed, saying, "Do you think so? My iron hands aren't exactly gentle—do you think he'd dare show up at school?" "Then let him stay away. If I happen to run into him, I'll make sure to knock some sense into him with a good number of bricks." Lu Yun spoke with a hint of determination. Seemingly affected by the warmth of Lu Yun's breath, Xinlan chuckled, "Please stand a bit farther away when you speak—I'm getting quite itchy!" She then pulled her shoulders closer. Lu Yun tightened his arms, holding Xinlan close, and playfully asked, "Is there any other part of you that's itchy?" "Oh, you little rascal—you've started being so restless again! Only your neck is itchy. Everything else is perfectly fine." "Iron-hearted Lan called out excitedly. ... / / Village Beauty 420, Main Text 420. It's definitely not going to work.
