I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 338 - 52: I Want Him...

"Just endure for a while longer, then I’ll let that little mouth of yours chatter away. Aren’t you good at talking? I’ll give you a chance to use that mouth properly."

Lu Chengfeng steeled himself inwardly, pretending not to hear Du Mengyan’s words, and patted Yi Huanhuan’s round bottom. "Huanhuan, don’t mind Hou Songyue, this is just a transaction. Once I pass the old man’s test, I’ll teach her a lesson." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"No matter what, you helped me this time. I promised you that once this matter is resolved, I’ll accompany you for a few days."

"The old man’s test lasts for two months. After two months, I’ll take you out for a trip, alright?"

Yi Huanhuan, who was just seething with anger due to Hou Songyue, couldn’t help but feel happy upon hearing this, "Brother Wushuang, you must finish off that woman by then. She’s too hateful, and I don’t want her alive."

"If it’s inconvenient for you to do it, leave it to me. I’ll have Uncle Ye take care of her himself."

Though she seemed like a charming, lively young girl, her words were chilling, as if killing someone was easy as squashing an ant.

Lu Chengfeng knew that Yi Huanhuan wasn’t joking when she said that. The Elder Ye she mentioned was a Half-Step Celestial Human, her protector handpicked by her father from the Martial Vein.

"Enough, no messing around. I said this matter is mine to handle."

"If you don’t behave, then our plan to go out together is off the table."

Lu Chengfeng spoke with a slightly stern tone.

"Okay then!" Yi Huanhuan pouted, a bit sulky, "But I just hate her, I want her dead."

Lu Chengfeng gave her a light slap. Seeing the girl still sulking, he glanced at Du Mengyan who had closed her eyes and quickly planted a kiss on the girl’s forehead. "Be good, listen up. You focus on your cultivation for now. Once these two months are over, we’ll have our fun."

"Hee hee hee, Brother Wushuang, this is the first time you’ve kissed me voluntarily!" Yi Huanhuan boasted deliberately, then puckered her rosy lips again, "Brother Wushuang, I want another kiss."

"Shameless beast, have you no shame! You filthy couple!" Du Mengyan couldn’t hold back anymore, "If you want to cozy up, get into another room, don’t disgust me here."

Yi Huanhuan, intending to provoke her, said deliberately, "Brother Wushuang, I won’t go! If you don’t kiss me, I’m not leaving."

Lu Chengfeng felt a slight sweat on his forehead and, after a brief struggle, gently kissed Yi Huanhuan under Du Mengyan’s dagger-like glare.

"Hahaha, I knew it, Brother Wushuang loves me the most."

Yi Huanhuan, content with her success, smiled brightly and gave Lu Chengfeng a couple more kisses before reluctantly leaving his embrace.

"Brother Wushuang, I’m off now, you must miss me!"

"And don’t go back on your word."

After Yi Huanhuan’s lengthy chatter, Lu Chengfeng finally managed to send her off. Once the door was shut, he let out a long sigh of relief, as the room finally quieted down.

However, once he and Du Mengyan were left alone, the atmosphere between them felt rather strange.

Du Mengyan stared at him unblinkingly, her eyes full of anger, along with an undeniable sense of grievance and sadness.

"You... you’re too much..."

"Why do you treat me this way?"

"If so, you might as well just kill me."

"I don’t want to be humiliated by you anymore."

Her eyes were slightly red, yet she refused to shed tears.

Lu Chengfeng understood the pain of seeing someone you love fool around with others right in front of you, but this debt of affection was clearly caused by ’Yi Wushuang’. What did it have to do with him?

"You know this isn’t my fault, they’re the ones who throw themselves at me."

"Later... I’ll definitely treat you well!"

"Humph, I’d have to be crazy to believe you!" Du Mengyan slightly turned her face away, unwilling to look at the man, yet her expression softened a bit, and her tone became gentler.

"Mengyan, please trust me, alright? I’m at a crucial point right now. Once I get past this hurdle, I won’t let you down." Lu Chengfeng spoke earnestly; it was, in fact, his first time formally expressing his feelings to Du Mengyan.

Du Mengyan, momentarily stunned, gradually calmed down. She understood that both were in enemy territory, and Lu Chengfeng’s actions were nothing but social perfunctory behavior. If he didn’t comply, they might expose themselves and be in mortal danger.

Though she comprehended the rationale, witnessing Lu Chengfeng getting intimate with other women in front of her was an excruciating feeling, like a knife stabbing her heart.

"Fine, I believe you. Please don’t disappoint me."

Du Mengyan took a deep breath, then looked directly at Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng nodded seriously.

Once they clarified things, the atmosphere lightened considerably.

"How is your cultivation going? Are you far from reaching that step? If you need any treasures, just say so. Remember, I’m the resource-rich Young Master Wushuang." Lu Chengfeng tried to change the subject by acting boastful.

Du Mengyan didn’t hold back, listing over a dozen very precious treasures, and then added, "I have at most two months’ time left to reach that step. Of course, it could be sooner or later, but no later than three months."

"By then, I’ll need a suitable place..."

Lu Chengfeng nodded, "I understand, don’t worry! I’ll arrange it."

Du Mengyan had over two months to break through to the Celestial Human Realm. By then, moving around would be more convenient, but such a breakthrough required a safely secure place.

Obviously, doing so within the Brocade Palace was unsuitable.

Lu Chengfeng rang the golden bell in the room, and quickly, his trusted maid appeared at the door, "Young Master, what are your orders?"

"Mobilize my stockpile, gather all these treasures for me. If they’re not in stock, exchange other resources for them, no expense spared, collect them as quickly as possible."

Once Lu Chengfeng listed all the necessary protections, the maid agreed and left promptly.

With everything meticulously arranged, Lu Chengfeng returned to the bed, preparing to meditate on the Tao Scripture.

"Mengyan, come to the bed, let’s do it together!"

Du Mengyan initially felt awkward about his behavior, but seeing his eyes, that familiar warmth surged in her heart, leading her to nod unconsciously.

Soon, a faint fragrance wafted into Lu Chengfeng’s nose as Du Mengyan boarded the bed, sitting cross-legged not far from him.

The two exchanged glances, and while there was no intimate interaction, a sense of warmth lingered.

Lu Chengfeng quickly refocused and closed his eyes, devoting all his thoughts to contemplating the Tao Scripture, as that was the fundamental task during this time.

Especially with Chu Tiange, his formidable opponent, to deal with, time was incredibly precious to him now.

The room gradually quieted down.

...

Meanwhile, in a palace not far from the Brocade Palace, Chu Zhihe was already sprawled on the floor, face flushed, and making indecipherable sounds, appearing to be in great distress.

"I... I’m in so much agony..."

Between her eyebrows, her primordial spirit, resembling a bright moon, gradually took on a red glow, appearing exceedingly seductive.

"I can’t take it anymore, I’m losing control, I want him..."

Seizing a moment of clarity, she bit her tongue hard, the tang of blood spreading in her mouth, with wisps of blood seeping onto her lips.

She stumbled and staggered her way out of the underground palace.
