Land Yun Hu's eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to slap Li Lianghua's fox-hole flat and make it a mess, yet Li Lianghua's words had also caught his attention. Hmm, it seems this woman has heard some gossip. How could she possibly know about the little things between himself and his third sister? Her demeanor didn't seem like she was pretending—she was genuinely curious. He had to find out which dog was spreading the rumors. Li Lianhua was always a fiery, headstrong woman. When Lu Yun gently prodded her with his fire staff, she felt the pain so sharp it was unbearable. She hadn't expected this young man's staff to be so solid. All the warmth and passion she had nurtured turned into an unrelenting storm of anger, fully erupting the moment Lu Yun finished speaking. Rising up, she held her waist with one hand and pointed a finger at Lu Yun, saying, "You, Lu Yun! You were so lively and enthusiastic when you were making love to me—now that you've finished, you want to turn cold and deny everything? I've always known about your little squabbles with your third aunt. What more do you expect? Can you even bite me now? Not only will I remember this, but I'm going to spread the word all over the village—everyone will know just what kind of person your third aunt really is!" Crack! A crisp slap landed on Li Lianhua's face. Lu Yun, his face darkened, said, "You stubborn woman! Say that again, and see if I can't tear your fox den open with just my hands!" Li Lianghua was completely stunned by Lu Yun's slap. She never expected Lu Yun to physically strike her—clear impressions of the fingers on her cheek sent a sharp, burning pain through her nerves. Holding her right face with her hands, she stared in silence at Lu Yun, who radiated an intense aura of fury. Only after a long moment did she gasp, then cry out loudly, rushing toward Lu Yun.

Looking at Land Yun's solemn, expressionless face, Li Liánhuā suddenly realized that the usually mischievous youngster had grown up and now knew how to uphold the dignity of himself and his family. Overcome with urgency and the sharp pain radiating from her wrist, Li Liánhuā began weeping uncontrollably, her voice breaking. "Shut up! If you keep crying, I'll pierce you to death," Land Yun said, easing the pressure of his palm as a warning. Upon hearing this, Li Liánhuā lifted her eyes, glaring at Land Yun and sobbing, "You little brat! You dare to hit me? If you want to know where I got my information, you'll have to first pierce me to death!" Land Yun was taken aback—his intention had simply been to scare Li Liánhuā. Instead, she had now stood up to him, truly demanding that he press his point against her. What a notion! Lu Yun was about to speak in disapproval, but suddenly remembered the scene in Lin Shu's room, where she had been tied up with ropes. Now, with her limbs numb, if she wanted to be poked, then fine—she’d just have to endure it. He chuckled dryly and said, "You want to be poked, do you? Very well, I’ll satisfy you. Go up to the bed and wait for me." At this moment, Lu Yun was completely in control, issuing a clear command to Li Liánhuā. Li Liánhuā had always loved and feared Lu Yun’s walking stick. She had only just casually mentioned her desire earlier, and at this very moment, she hadn’t the slightest intention of actually doing what he wanted. Yet Lu Yun released her hand and simply asked her to go up to the bed and wait. Was this boy really going to use his stick to attack her fox-den, to exact revenge on her? Though she hesitated, recalling the way Lu Yun’s stick had pushed her in and made her feel so uncomfortable, she instantly forgot about the pain in her body and firmly believed that Lu Yun couldn’t possibly hurt her. "Go then, go! See how far Li Liānhuā may have been sharp-tongued, yet in her heart she had already begun to harbor a quiet anticipation. Birds naturally settle into nests—she didn’t believe her own nest could fail to hold Land Yun’s birds. Land Yun chuckled softly, said nothing, and simply wandered around the room, searching for the right tools—this content is from Chapter 667 of "Rural Beauty." "What are you looking for?" Li Liānhuā asked, surprised. Land Yun, without turning around, gestured with a hand toward the back, saying, "Go to the bed and wait. Take care of yourself first and get some water ready—otherwise, you’ll suffer later." "You—!" Li Liānhuā was momentarily annoyed by Land Yun’s cold remark, but seeing that he didn’t turn to look at her, her frustration fell flat. With a huff, she stomped her foot and truly went to the bed, removing her clothes to begin tending to her own den. Land Yun searched the room for a while, but couldn’t find any suitable tools. Turning back to Li Liānhuā, he said, "Wait a moment, I’ll be right back—I Li Lianhua was herself digging at the fox's den, feeling just the right mood, when suddenly she heard Lu Yun's words and gasped, "You little brat—after giving me a slap, you're not even going to make me sit here dryly waiting for you, are you?" Lu Yun chuckled, looking at Li Lianhua seated on the cot and said, "Don't worry. If I don't have you completely at my mercy today, I'll never call you mine." With that, he opened the door and strode out. Li Lianhua sat there, murmuring to herself, "Little brat, if you dare to lie to me, I'll spill all your little troubles—especially the ones with your aunt." Lu Yun, having left the courtyard, headed straight for Lin Shu's house. Honestly, Li Lianhua thought he'd never find a way to handle her—she really believed he'd have to use his fire poker to fill her out! Pushing open the door of Lin Shu's house, Lu Yun walked straight into the room. Lin Shu was still lying in bed, lost in thought. It seemed that Lin Shu had lost her curiosity and hadn't gone out to the courtyard to eavesdrop or watch—otherwise, with Lu Yun and Li Lianghua's voices so loud just now, she would have surely noticed. "Lin Shu姐, could I borrow the rope, screwdriver, and other tools you took out a moment ago?" Lin Shu got straight to the point, without any hesitation due to the earlier disagreements between them. Lin Shu had been lying in bed, savoring the unique sensation Lu Yun had brought her. Suddenly hearing Lu Yun's voice, she thought it was a mere illusion. Only when Lu Yun spoke again did she realize it wasn't—Lu Yun had truly returned. Lin Shu sat up, staring at Lu Yun with a dazed expression, and choked out, "Lu Yun, you've returned..." Lu Yun nodded, glanced around, and didn't notice the nylon bag containing the props. He went to the cot and asked again, "Lin Shu, could I borrow those ropes and screwdrivers? I need them urgently." ... Rural Beauty 667, Main Text 667 - Urgent update completed!
