Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1278B. Enthusiastic Hosts



Chapter 1278B. Enthusiastic Hosts

The village head warmly invited Qin Yu to be a guest at his house. His wife was an attractive middle-aged woman and they had three beautiful daughters. Although they were all wearing dull and rough clothes, it was hard to cover their beauty. They had huge eyes with long eyelashes and as they looked around, they were extremely attractive.

As they served food and wine, they snuck glances at Qin Yu. They would then blush and run back in without saying anything. That youthful energy and their soft and full lips were extremely alluring.

The village head was filled with smiles, “These girls are from the village and don’t know better manners. Please don’t mind them.” He then hesitated for a bit before pointing at the cloth sack beside Qin Yu’s leg. “If you don’t mind, you can let this guest out as well. My wife and daughters can help her wash up before eating.”

Qin Yu was observing him slowly and he could not find any hidden motives. The village head was completely sincere. But of course, he did not agree. It was painfully obvious that there was something wrong with this place.

“Cough! My sister’s body is not great and she cannot be exposed to too much light. It is fine to leave her in there.”

“Oh, if that is the case then pardon me for talking too much. Please help yourself, these are just some simple dishes from the village. I hope you don’t mind them.” The village head smiled brightly.

Qin Yu silently muttered to himself. With his current condition now, it was most likely that he would not be poisoned. He then agreed and picked up his chopsticks.

A cultivator’s body would not be affected by the alcohol even after eating and drinking for a long time, but the village head’s complexion was already red and he was starting to drift off. Seeing this, Qin Yu smiled slightly and made him drink another cup. He said, “Village head, why is this village located here? Is there no connection to the outside world?”

The village head hiccuped before looking apologetic as he spoke, “Our village has been living here for many years and no one has gone out for a long time. This is a rule of the village. In the past, we had some descendants who believed they were tough and disregarded our warning not to leave. In the end, they never returned.”

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed, “Village head, to tell you the truth, me and my sister ran away from home in order to find a powerful teacher to learn from. We don’t know how we ended up here. Village head, do you know an expert?”

The village head waved his hands, “What expert? Here, we only have people skilled in specific trades. You must not believe rumors. This time, the two of you were lucky enough to make it here from the outside world. But you must not dare to try and go out. Just stay in our village. As long as we work hard, we have enough to survive.”

When he was speaking, he was still somewhat awake. However, as soon as he finished, he fell onto the table and started snoring.

It was obvious that his wife knew her husband’s alcohol tolerance very well. Or maybe, she had been waiting outside all along. As soon as she heard the sound, she walked in apologetically, “My apologies, he is already so old but keeps on thinking he can drink like he used to…let me bring him back first. Please wait here for a moment, I will return and arrange a place for you and your female guest.”

She bent down to help the drunk village head. Her shirt rode up and exposed her round, soft and white waist. It happened so quickly but left a long impression on Qin Yu. She got up and smiled apologetically at him before helping her drunk husband out.

Alas, it was very fast. In a few moments, she was back. It seemed like she had spent quite some effort as her face was slightly blushing, “Did you eat well?”

As she saw Qin Yu nod, she smiled in satisfaction, “I have prepared the items for you to wash up; please follow me. This is where you two can stay.”

The village head’s house was big. Although it was not extravagantly decorated, it made people feel comfortable and everything felt as if that was the way it should be.

As they pushed open the door to the eastern house, it revealed a place with a living room and a bedroom. Behind the bamboo screen, there was hot air rising. It looked like someone had prepared hot water for their bath.

The woman smiled, “The female guest is still sleeping. Why don’t you wash up first and let her continue resting on the bed.”

Qin Yu thought about it and replied, “Okay.” He unravelled the clothes and placed Cang Zhu on the bed. He wanted to find out what exactly was going on. Maybe if he used her as bait, he could find something out.

The woman breathed in and her face was slightly red as she said, “Dear guest, please follow me to wash up.”

Qin Yu looked at her and nodded.

Now, he was doing as she said to see what they were up to.

After taking off his belt and outer clothes, he was left with his inner white clothes. He stepped into the bath tub. “This is fine.”

The woman made a sound of agreement and started to pour water on him. Her face was still blushing. Just as he thought there was nothing more to this, the sound of a belt being taken off could be heard. Qin Yu looked back and immediately turned back around. What was going on? This scene was progressing too quickly!

Ah!

“Wait, what are you doing?”

“Ah?” The lady of the house was stunned as she muttered, “I am coming in to help you wash up…”

She spoke in a way as if this was to be expected and she looked slightly puzzled, as if wondering why he was asking this. She almost made Qin Yu feel like he was the one who was not normal.

There was no way this could continue. Just as Qin Yu was wondering whether to push her away, the lady of the house put her clothes back on and looked slightly bitter. She looked at Qin Yu and spoke softly, “I am old and broken. I do not deserve to serve such an honorable guest like yourself. Let me call my three daughters over; although they are not so skilled, they are somewhat pretty.”

Qin Yu thought, if she described her daughters only as somewhat pretty, he wondered what her definition of beauty was. He heard movement from outside and waved his hand, “No need, we don’t have this kind of practice at home. You can go.”

The woman turned to leave.

Qin Yu got out of the tub and with just a thought, his clothes dried and his long robe appeared. He then walked out.

“If you are awake then get up; you are so bad at pretending to be asleep.”

Cang Zhu opened her eyes and looked at him as she spoke, “I was afraid that if I said something, I would ruin your beautiful moment.”

Qin Yu lifted his hand to massage his eyebrows, “Stop talking nonsense. Let me tell you what is going on right now.”

After Cang Zhu heard what he had to say, she looked serious as she said, “There must be something going on!”

Qin Yu was speechless. As if he needed her to confirm that. Even my knee can tell you that there is something going on. He immediately gave up on Cang Zhu, what insightful opinions would she be able to give anyway.

At least until now, Qin Yu had yet to find anything amiss. Other than the scare the lady of the house gave him when she took off her belt. The whole thing could even be said to be the perfect example of how hosting guests should look like.

The lack of problems was the biggest problem. Qin Yu thought this whole village was strange. Maybe he should go out to look around. That’s right, Qin Yu got up, “I am going out for a walk, do you want to come?”

Cang Zhu immediately nodded.

He greeted the lady of the house in the garden and brought Cang Zhu out, under the bitter gazes of the three daughters.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate, Cang Zhu spoke, “They are very pretty. Brother Qin, are you sure you are not moved?”

Qin Yu could not be bothered to answer. They didn’t even know what situation they were in, how could he be moved?

Moreover, this woman seemed to be underestimating him. I was able to hold back even when you threw yourself at me. Why would I care about these three ladies?

Hmm…he could not say this. Women were strange. It was best if you praised them occasionally, but praising them too often would lose all effect.
