Chapter 516: Shivering Constantly "Miss Fangling, I wasn't even going to swim down to the pond to take a bath—how come you're so frightened? This entire story is about the rural beauty series, Volume 516." Lu Yun smiled, playing with his fingers as he stirred in the waterfall of water cascading over Li Fangling. He watched her pale, startled face with amusement. "Know what? Several people have gone down to the pond to bathe before, and not one of them has made it back alive. The white goose vanishes after just a few minutes underwater. You didn't even wait for me to finish speaking—you jumped right in. How could I not be worried?" Lu Yun frowned, muttering, "Besides the fact that the water here is a bit colder than elsewhere, I didn't notice anything unusual. It's just that catching this fish has taken me a lot of effort—she kept slipping away from me several times." "Constantly stirring the water in the Water Curtain Cave, Liu Fangling couldn't help humming, yet she managed to glare at Lu Yun and said, 'Without my permission, you're not to come here to bathe at will. Should anything unexpected happen, where else shall I go to find such a sturdy bird pole?' Though her words carried a hint of warmth, her tone conveyed genuine concern. Lu Yun nodded gently and smiled, 'Understood—I'll make sure not to do so again.' As he lifted his hand from the stirring, he suddenly shivered. The sun was scorching now, and though he had just stepped out of the pond, his body felt intensely hot. How had he suddenly grown cold? Recalling Liu Fangling's earlier remarks, a sudden flutter stirred in his heart, and then he smiled at ease. After all, he had emerged safely from the water—no need for any rumors. This passage is from Chapter 516 of the novel 'Rural Beauty.' Li Fuangling rose immediately, blushing, and said, "You've once again gotten all the way down to my hem! How am I supposed to go back now with my skirt like this? Also, if this fish is said to have been caught from this pond, Lady Liu Fengyi certainly wouldn't serve it to you—no one would dare eat it. Better return it to the pond." As she spoke, she walked to the pond's edge, shook her skirt, and the carp swiftly slipped into the water, vanishing after a swift tail flick. Watching her hard-won achievement being carelessly tossed aside, Lu Yun felt a pang of irritation, yet upon reflecting on Li Fuangling's remarks, found them somewhat convincing, so she let it go. Still, seeing her skirt now muddy and disheveled, she couldn't help but say, "Miss Fuangling, your skirt is so dirty—how will you explain that when you return?" "Never mind," she replied, brushing off the mud from her skirt, "This is easy to handle. You needn't worry about it at all. Just quickly get dressed and go back—Tingting must be waiting and growing impatient now." With that, Li Fuangling stepped out of Lu Yun dressed himself and stepped out, only to find Liu Fangling already gone—she had simply vanished. He silently disapproved, thinking how she had dragged him out only to rush back herself. Hmph, he thought, what a treat for lunch. Lu Yun reached into the basin, playing with the bubbles filling it, and smiled, asking, "You dead kid, you've ruined my skirt! I was just coming back and happened to be seen by Liu Fengyi, so I had to explain myself for a while before I managed to get off the hook." Li Fangling gave him a withering look, clearly unhappy that he had soiled her skirt so badly. "What's there to worry about? You're not going to have her fight alongside you for lunch, right? Just tell her you pulled me out to the reed marsh by the pond and gave me a good splash. After all, your Water Curtain Cave has already been turned into a round hole by me—better let her get used to my strength early so she can mentally prepare. This content is from Chapter 516 of 'Rural Beauty in Bloom.' As she washed her clothes, she chuckled softly, "Stupid boy, aren't you planning to have her use the eggplant first, then join you in battle? Don't you think about it—once she's been stuffed with eggplant, how will she even feel when your thing goes in afterward?" "Seeming to verify her own words, Liu Fangling turned her head and glanced at the small vegetable patch in the courtyard, pointing to the purple eggplants: 'See this? I picked these fresh eggplants last night right from there. If you think you can find anything larger than these, just let me know right away and I'll inform Liu Fengyi in advance.' Lu Yun turned to look at the purple eggplants and, in truth, genuinely agreed with Liu Fangling. No matter how strong his long staff was, it simply couldn't compare to these eggplants—even if he brought in a male donkey, he'd have to bow down to them." Lu Yun turned around and came back to Liu Fangling's side. Liu Fangling asked with some uncertainty, "Xiao Yun, tell me honestly—do you really want Tingting's body?" Liu Fangling nodded and smiled, "Tingting is in the eastern room taking care of her father. Go on, then." Lu Yun suddenly felt a sense of disarray inside, though he couldn't quite explain why. As he approached the door of the eastern room, he unexpectedly shivered—as if something were following him. …… Village Beauty 516, Main Text 516 Continuous updates of cold chills!
