Country Beauty No. 764, Main Text No. 764, Chapter No. 764 – The little mouth, truly a woman of refined grace. Lu Yun watched from a distance as Ma Cuihua diligently attended to Li Qiezi, then glanced down at his own still proud and commanding figure. To his surprise, the simmering pride within him quietly subsided. With a self-deprecating smile, he said, “I used to always think I was quite impressive—my own presence could outshine any man. Now that I reflect on it, how utterly ridiculous I must seem!” He gave a slight shake of his head. Meeting men who surpassed him in prowess wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Moreover, with such solid foundations at such a young age, he might well grow to stand on par with Li Qiezi, or even surpass him entirely. Hm—would he eventually end up just like a dull, ordinary man, like a donkey? Once Land Yun's mind settled, he became astonishingly calm, quietly observing Ma Cuihua feeding the Li Qiao-armed man slices of ham. With the old woman no longer hovering around him, he felt utterly at ease, lounging with his legs crossed and finding the scene between the two quite entertaining. "Miss Cuihua, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Ma Cuihua still hadn't moved, Li Qiao, who was eager to speak, couldn't help but urge her. "Ah?" "Majiuhua came back to herself, glanced discreetly toward where Lu Yun was hiding, and whispered, 'Nothing much. I just thought—had I seen Li Guo's goods earlier, I would have known exactly what it feels like to be a woman.'" Li Qie, hearing this, felt deeply reassured and chuckled warmly, "Now it's not too late. I still have the energy to keep up, so don't worry, Miss Cuihua." Saying this, he stepped away from Majiuhua, drew out a pipe from behind his waist, lit it with a match, and began to draw steadily. Thick smoke soon curled around his dry, lean face. Majiuhua watched the hazy outline of Li Qie's face in the smoke, and suddenly felt as though she were in a dream. They always said men in this region weren't very good at that, and Lu Yun's emergence had been a special exception—now, Majiuhua had already felt incredibly fortunate to discover, by chance, that Lu Yun was a man with a great bird's strength. Yet now, here came Li Qie as well. Was it possible that the customs of this land were truly changing? No matter what, with such capable men appearing in this regard, the women of this land wouldn't have to endure bad things or dwell on anxious thoughts. Under Li Qiaozi's persistent urging, Ma Cuihua lifted her skirt, instantly clearing the haze before him and allowing him to gaze in wide-eyed wonder at the waterfall cave, where a constant stream of mountain spring flowed.
