Lady of the Countryside, Chapter 476, Main Text 476: Inner Power.
In Chapter 476, Inner Power, after a series of disturbances with Liu the Widow, Lu Yun lay in bed and soon fell into deep sleep. This content comprises the textual material of Chapter 476 of "Lady of the Countryside."
Shadows and the ancient-style figure reappeared.
Lu Yun, looking weary, watched the ancient-style figure performing its martial arts routine with mechanical consistency within the shadows. A touch of disdain crept onto his face. Though during his midday dream he had gained a fresh appreciation for this martial form, the disturbance caused by Zhou Yaqing had made him realize that his own practice was utterly inadequate—unable even to defeat a young girl, let alone protect the women close to him. With his own temperament, he doubted he could even ensure his own safety.
The ancient-style figure in the shadows, however, seemed completely unaware of Lu Yun’s growing unease, continuing to perform the entire martial routine from beginning to end, then repeating the same sequence without variation.
Lu Yun had already formed an opinion about this martial art. Watching the ancient-clad figure tirelessly perform, his eyelids began to droop, and soon he stood there, asleep.
A dream within a dream!
Even as Lu Yun drifted into sleep within his dream, he could not escape the presence of the shimmering light and the ancient-clad figure. This time, however, it was different from before—the figure did not demonstrate the martial art, but instead smiled gently at him, then lightly traced the air with his index finger, writing out a large, clear character: "Qin."
Lu Yun, immersed deep within his dream, found the figure's unusual gesture puzzling. He remained confused until the character "Qin" was formed, at which point he seemed to grasp something—yet still felt as though he had caught nothing at all.
Staring in wonder at the ancient-dressed figure smiling warmly at him, Lu Yun, without realizing it, had naturally begun to perform the first move of the Dream-Entering Divine Fist. The figure gently nodded and then began to move in unison with Lu Yun, the wind rustling softly, as if to boost his confidence. With each unfolding movement of the Dream-Entering Divine Fist, the power of each technique grew stronger—this content is the text from Chapter 476 of "Rural Beauty."
"Liu Guo-fu's voice rang in Liu Yun's ears, and he suddenly opened his eyes, feeling utterly exhausted—like having worked all day in the fields. Yet vividly clear in his mind were the few characters written by the ancient figure in the costume. 'Neijin—what is neijin? Is it the internal energy mentioned in wuxia novels?' Liu Yun sat up, glanced at Liu Guo-fu, and murmured to himself. 'What are you mumbling about? Get dressed, wash your face, and have some breakfast.' Inside the room, a low table had already been set, and Liu Guo-fu was bending over to place the dishes upon it, her waist revealing a large expanse of snowy white. Liu Yun stared at that white expanse, and suddenly felt a renewed surge of energy throughout his body. He thought to himself: 'I must visit Xinlan sister soon—otherwise, if I keep practicing in this dream state, I'll never know when I'll gain the strength to protect myself and the women around me.' He shook his slightly drowsy head and got out of bed to dress.
Liu's wife had already prepared the water for washing face. Lu Yun simply washed up and came to stand behind her, stretching her arms around the slender waist that had no extra flesh, and chuckled softly: "Uncle, shall we skip dinner and have you instead?"
At that moment, Liu's wife was picking up the steaming buns from the pot and placing them into a plastic basket. On hearing this, she gently tapped Lu Yun's handback and scolded: "Stop being so silly! You're supposed to eat first, then go to class. It's nearly dark now—do you really think you can skip class?"
"Then skip class, I suppose. Honestly, I don't think I'm suited for studying at all," Lu Yun said, her face pressed against her back.
Liu's wife suddenly straightened up and asked without turning around: "Then what do you intend to do?"
"Uncle, how about I join the underworld—still have a chance to rise to prominence, and I'll take you on tours across the country," Lu Yun replied.
Before she finished speaking, Liu's wife swiftly turned around, fixing Lu Yun with a stern gaze and exclaimed: "What are you talking about?
Lu Yun had only just spontaneously thought of that idea. Seeing Liu's widow truly becoming angry, he quickly smiled and said, "Sister, I was just making a casual remark—don't take it to heart, don't get upset. Let me give you a massage as an apology, shall I?" As he spoke, his hands, resting on her waist, moved along the way, tracing the softness of her body—this content being the text from Chapter 476 of the rural beauty series. "Don't touch me! Tell you what—if you really aren't going to grow up and make it in life, if you're truly going to stick around the underworld, then you can just go elsewhere. I won't have to worry about you all the time, constantly on edge." Liu's widow, though rural by upbringing, was well aware of what the underworld meant, so when Lu Yun mentioned his ambition to join the underworld, she felt a sudden pang in her heart and, for once, lost her composure and raised her voice. "Sister, please don't be angry. I was only joking—I'm just a young boy, how could I possibly make it in the underworld? I'm just going to focus on studying, that's
Liu Guo-fu sighed, "I'm fine. Your uncle and aunt have taken great care of you, counting on you to take care of them in their old age. In the world of the underworld, it's not easy to make a living—don't let your uncle and aunt, who've worked so hard all these years, end up with the sorrow of seeing a white-haired elder lose a young one." As she spoke, two clear tears rolled down her cheeks. "Aunt, I'm sorry. From now on, I'll never speak out of turn again. Please don't cry." Seeing Liu Guo-fu weep, Lu Yun grew anxious, realizing she was worried about him, and quickly tried to comfort her. "Aunt, let's set this aside. How about we eat together?" Liu Guo-fu nodded and sat down beside Lu Yun. But after Lu Yun's outburst, where could she possibly find the strength to eat? With tear-streaked eyes, she gazed at Lu Yun and said, "I'm not hungry. You go ahead and eat." A simple, well-intentioned remark had unexpectedly moved Liu Guo-fu to tears. Lu Yun felt deeply ashamed. For heaven's sake
A hasty meal, glanced at the clock on the wall, then stood up, wiped his mouth and said, "Madam, it's time for class now..." "Go on, focus on your lessons, don't keep worrying all day," Mrs. Liu knew well Land Yun's fondness for fights. As Land Yun was about to leave, she gently repeated her words again and again. Land Yun walked over, wiped away a tear from Mrs. Liu's eye, and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I won't take that path." Mrs. Liu choked out, "That's good. Go then." Land Yun nodded and turned to leave the convenience store. "Such a worry-worth little troublemaker," Mrs. Liu murmured, her eyes glistening as she watched Land Yun go. ...
