Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 176 Young and energetic

Slap him in the face, deflate his arrogance, and sever ties with him.

These words sound rather pleasing to the ear.

but,

"Who in the Duke's mansion can form a team?"

Lu Beimo's long fingers twitched slightly. Her long black hair, like brocade, gently wrapped around where his hand landed, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he could touch it.

He had an urge to play with her long hair, twirling it between his fingers.

"Chu Xiaohe's riding and archery skills are indeed quite good, and Chu Yi is not qualified. As for the Earl's Mansion, Madam Ning is a good candidate, if she is willing. So, who should we ask for the remaining three spots?"

Chu Yueli's thin lips moved slightly, but Lu Beimo said, "The Second Madam has great strength, but her riding and archery seem to be quite average. Your Third Uncle's fiancée is not someone the Duke is willing to let into the family. She can't be considered a member of your Duke's mansion."

Chu Yueli's breath hitched, and she glared at him: "You've been investigating all sorts of information about my household?"

"You are my future wife. I was in the northern frontier before, so I didn't have a chance to inquire. But now that I've returned, I should have inquired properly about how to deal with any changes in your Duke's mansion in the future."

Chu Yueli frowned, but only glared at him; she wasn't really angry.

"Your Highness, you are very dirty. I have no mood to talk to you."

Lu Beimo lowered his head and sniffed himself; he was indeed somewhat... smelly.

Upon hearing the news that she had traveled a thousand miles to save her husband and was seriously injured, he didn't have time to verify the truth of the matter and immediately set off to return.

They were already working in the mountains and fields, and they had been traveling day and night to get back without stopping. How could they possibly be clean?

Even the mask was covered in dust... Girls are such a hassle; they don't want to talk to him if they're even a little dirty.

Lu Beimo said helplessly, "I didn't bring any change of clothes. Do you expect me to talk to you naked?"

Chu Yueli's eyes widened.

What is this great demon king saying?

"Your Highness may return to your residence first..."

"I won't reply until I've made myself clear!"

Chu Yueli frowned, genuinely disgusted, and couldn't help but give her a gentle push.

But she didn't know that when her soft, boneless little hands pressed against Lu Beimo's chest, it felt like a pair of soft claws scratching at his heart.

I've never felt this way in my twenty-three years of life.

Moreover, when she pushed against his chest with both hands, Lu Beimo realized that their bodies were pressed together.

The young, vigorous body tensed up instantly, an unknown impulse roaring through the blood.

He glanced down.

Although his gaze had been cold before, it was still relatively clear. Now, however, his gaze held an indescribable complexity, with a dark, murky luster shining through its depths.

Just about to move.

My blood is boiling.

Chu Yueli quickly noticed that something was wrong with him. The body she was holding up with her hands, which had been at a normal temperature at first, was now burning like a ball of fire.

In particular, she seemed to sense that something was changing rapidly.

Chu Yueli thought for a moment, then suddenly widened her watery eyes and stared at Lu Beimo.

"you……"

That bastard! That lecherous scoundrel!

"Don't move." Lu Beimo hadn't expected that he would lose control like this.

In the pitch-black night, soft jade, warm fragrance.

For a moment, my mind seemed a little foggy and unclear.

She tried to remember, but her body seemed glued to her. Her arms, which were usually strong enough to lift a stone statue weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand, were now so weak that she didn't even have the strength to support her own body.

Not only that, it seemed like he was pressing his body against hers...
