The Rural Beauty, Chapter 697: The Surge of Passion Chapter 697: The Surge of Passion What’s below? What’s going on down there? After hearing Dan Dan’s startled cry, Lu Yun instinctively glanced at his lower body. He hadn’t noticed anything unusual until he looked—then he was utterly speechless. Why? Because although Land Yun's celestial spear had pressed hard against Xiao Ying's body, causing him immense pain, once he had dragged Wu Dan all the way here, only to find this patch of poplar forest, his thoughts had grown a little mischievous. Just when his younger brother had been momentarily defeated, he now suddenly became bold and defiant, standing straight as a spear, his eyes fixed firmly on Wu Dan. "Oh, for heaven's sake—what a shame!" Land Yun muttered under his breath, shielding himself with his hand as he silently scolded himself. It seemed he had developed a kind of "small forest syndrome"—whenever he saw a small forest, his mind naturally conjured up those things, and his body responded accordingly. "Dan Dan, you know, this thing of mine isn't under control. I didn't even intend to think about it!" "Lu Yun may have been lying, but this situation can't be entirely blamed on him. He'd always had ample resources to begin with. Now, deep into the night, aside from the wind, there's only Lu Yun and Wu Dan's breathing. Plus, with Lu Yun's current forest syndrome, it's hard to imagine anything else happening. 'Yun-gong...' Wu Dan blushed, approaching Lu Yun and speaking softly. 'Yun-gong, you don't need to pretend anymore. When we were in the village, you kept dragging me around, refusing to let me hear what they were saying—wasn't that so you wouldn't find out about what you'd done for Xiao Ying?" It's truly not good to have such a smart girl around. Lu Yun felt utterly helpless, not even needing to speak, as Wu Dan continued, "Cloud brother, now that I think about it, I can already guess what you've done to Xiao Ying. It's no surprise she's been so harsh with you—what you did to her in front of so many people..." "Dan Dan, it's not like that at all. I—" What? Lu Yun couldn't find the words. How could he explain to Dan Dan that Xiao Ying had insisted on seeing his Celestial Spear, and that under such pressure, he had simply lost control—leading to the incident where he finally struck her with the spear? Wu Dan suddenly seemed deeply preoccupied, walking straight into the Yang Forest. This scene reminded Lu Yun of the moment Xiao Ying had confessed to him—she had entered the small grove outside the school with the same quiet, thoughtful demeanor, spoke some words that left him utterly stunned, and for the first time, he had touched her smooth body—almost claiming her that very night. Could it be that Dan Dan also harbored such delicate feelings, just like Xiao Ying? Lu Yun glanced down at his still straight-and-stiff Tian-Gun, without hesitation followed Dan Dan into the small grove, but didn’t forget to glance back to make sure no bystanders would disrupt his upcoming good fortune—“Dan Dan.” This grove was much larger than the one outside the school. As he walked behind Dan Dan, gradually deepening into the woods, Lu Yun watched her walking steadily ahead, and couldn’t help but softly change his pace. Wu Dan pressed her face against Lu Yun’s shoulder, weeping softly. After a while, she shook her head and said, “Yun, I’m really afraid. All the girls around you are so outstanding. Compared to them, I feel like a Cinderella or a Snow White—afraid you’ll devote all your attention to them and leave me behind.” “Dan Dan,” Lu Yun was surprised that this usually quiet and gentle girl harbored such deep feelings. Gently patting her back, he reassured her, “Don’t worry. I won’t leave you behind. Trust me.” “Yun,” Wu Dan said, “I don’t want you to be just my brother. I want you to be my man.” As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly reached out, grasping Lu Yun’s sturdy, towering staff firmly—her demeanor completely unembarrassed. Her eyes, glowing in the dim forest light, sparkled with emotion and passion. Lu Yun felt utterly at a loss. He never expected the usually polite and composed Dan Dan to take such a bold step. A strange sensation washed over him as he inhaled the distinct fragrance of the young woman. Instantly, he felt both hungry and enchanted, and Wu Dan shook her head vigorously, humbly blushing, "Yun-gong, I'm not regretting anything. Do whatever you want, as long as it makes you comfortable, I'll do anything for you." Wu Dan's words stirred a sense of guilt within Lu Yun. With only a faint trace of rationality remaining, he found himself wondering whether his hasty decision to take Dan Dan's body had been fair to her. Perhaps she had been treated too harshly—after all, Land Yun hadn't truly intended to push Lü Dan away before. "Yun-guo, what's wrong? I've already told you—I don't want to be your sister anymore. I want to be your woman. Your woman." Lü Dan had said these words twice today. Each time, they carried a different feeling. When she first said them at home, Land Yun hadn't reacted as intensely as he does now. Given the current circumstances, which perfectly aligned with his own wishes, Land Yun found himself, in just an instant, overwhelmed with a strong desire to claim Lü Dan as his own. Whether right or wrong, this feeling had now firmly rooted itself in his mind and could no longer be pushed aside. Lü Dan's body grew increasingly warm, and the uneven moonlight glistened on her face, tracing clear trails of tears. "Dan-dan…" His inner passion and warmth burst forth completely. Land Yun embraced Lü Dan tightly, holding her slender frame without hesitation. "Yun-guo, please be gentle..."... The most comprehensive collection of novels on reading books.
