Chapter 314: Chapter 312: Give an inch and they’ll take a mile!
Ming Linyuan reached out tentatively, his hand landing on Sally’s waist.
Sally did not resist.
Ming Linyuan grew bolder, pressing a little harder…
The slender waist barely filled his grasp, soft beyond belief, turning his heart into a blaze in an instant, filled with the reckless desire to indulge…
“Yanyan—”
A voice called from outside the door.
Sally pushed Ming Linyuan away abruptly, her long, curled lashes fluttering lightly, devoid of any coquettish charm and clear with a hint of teasing, “My sister-in-law is back!”
“Heard we had a distinguished guest over?” Galian, seeing the door ajar, pushed it open and entered.
The sight that met her was Ming Linyuan’s handsome face, stirred by emotion and desire, his eyes and brows full of soul-captivating charm.
Galian’s face flushed in an instant, her body feeling unbearably hot, “That… Who is this?”
Sally noticed the change in Galian’s voice, that whiny, nasal tone.
“Sister-in-law, this is my Beast Husband, Ming Linyuan.”
“Ah? You, you said he’s your what?”
Galian finally snapped out of her stupor.
Ming Linyuan only glanced briefly at Galian before returning his attention to Sally, “Your room is the one on the north side, right? Tired. Call me for dinner later.”
He had used the Arcane Arts to tidy up the room just before, and only that room was clean, still filled with her unique sweet scent.
“All you know is eat!” Sally chastised, hands on her hips.
Ming Linyuan turned to look at her, “I am just this lazy and gluttonous, it’s too late for returns.”
Sally glared at him, “Go and weed the vegetable garden behind the house, otherwise you’re not allowed in the room.”
“Okay~” As long as he could enter the house! A triumphant smile appeared on Ming Linyuan’s handsome face.
Sally: “…”
Galian was spellbound again, her breathing even heavier.
Sally couldn’t help but frown, “I’ll take you there, don’t uproot the vegetable seedlings as well.”
If it weren’t for Galian’s presence, she could have sent him to share a room with Robby.
But with Galian there, that wouldn’t do.
To this day, Galian still wouldn’t share a room with Robby. According to Ashley, apart from Robby apparently having some physical issues, Galian simply looked down on Robby. Galian was attracted to strength and had absolutely no bottom line.
And earlier, it was clear Galian had been attracted to Ming Linyuan. Even knowing he was her Beast Husband, she didn’t restrain herself one bit.
If Ming Linyuan shared a room with Robby, given her previous tactless behavior, there’s no telling what she might end up doing.
Even if Galian wasn’t afraid of losing face, the Millet Family still cared about their reputation.
…
Ming Linyuan, mimicking Sally, started weeding, but while doing so, he ended up pulling out vegetable seedlings too!
“Big Brother! Do these two things look alike to you? One has long leaves, the other round leaves, keep the round ones, pluck the long ones!” Sally said, visibly annoyed.
Ming Linyuan had an awkward smile, “Aren’t they all plants, they also differ by long and round leaves.”
Sally lifted her hand and hit his shoulder, leaving a clear mark of a muddy handprint, “Make one more mistake, and you’ll be sleeping on the ground!”
“Oh? So if I don’t make a mistake, I get to sleep on the bed?” Ming Linyuan’s phoenix eyes gleamed as he gazed at Sally.
“Only if you don’t make a mistake,” Sally replied, glancing over her shoulder at the window, where Galian, who had just washed her hair, was stealthily peeking at Ming Linyuan…
“Go weed the vegetable patch outside the wall.” Sally pointed at the low wall, effectively blocking Galian’s view.
“Okay.” Ming Linyuan obediently went.
Once Ming Linyuan was out of sight, Galian also stopped standing by the window.
Robby came back, carrying a basket full of bright red fruits, calling out as he entered, “Sis, look what I’ve picked for you.”
Sally immediately responded, “Brother, I’m in the vegetable garden.”
Robby came over with the basket, “Look, all your favorite sweet fruits.”
Sally’s eyes lit up with a smile, “Thank you, brother.”
Ming Linyuan held a handful of grass and came over when he heard voices.
Without considering himself a stranger, he said, “Brother, I’m Yanyan’s Beast Husband, Ming Linyuan.”
Robby was stunned when he first saw Ming Linyuan, just about to ask who it was, then he heard Ming Linyuan’s introduction and was momentarily dumbfounded, “You’re my sister’s…”
“This fruit is really sweet, where did you pick it, brother? Later I’ll have Lin Yuan pick some too.” Sally had already started eating, and casually tossed another fruit to Ming Linyuan.
Ming Linyuan caught the fruit, “I’m Yanyan’s Beast Husband.”
“Really?” Robby asked in disbelief, turning to Sally.
Sally nodded, “Yeah, order him around if you have any chores.”
Hearing Sally’s words, Ming Linyuan, with a smile, glanced at her… So he was just here to do chores for their family.
Sally returned the look… If he didn’t want to do chores, he could leave.
Ming Linyuan… wouldn’t leave.
Auro also came back, carrying a stack of things, his face all smiles, with tribe members who had helped him bring the stuff.
“Yanyan—” Auro called out.
With a fruit in hand, Sally responded, “Dad, I’m right here.”
Seeing that he had brought back a lot of things, she said to Robby and Ming Linyuan, “Come and help.”
“Coming right now.” Robby, carrying a basket of fruit, said to Ming Linyuan, “So do I call you brother-in-law?”
Ming Linyuan nodded emphatically, “Please be sure to call me that.”
Robby: “?”
…
Lin Lang arrived at the Millet Family’s place, carrying a wild boar.
He had already heard that a man from the Eastern District had arrived at Sally’s home, and he was her Beast Husband.
A guy from the Eastern District? No big deal, he didn’t mind taking a lesser role.
He had even specifically hunted a wild boar to present as a gift for their first meeting.
“Uncle Auro, we have a guest at home, so I’ve brought an extra dish.”
“Such a big wild boar, come in, Lin Lang.”
“Brother Lin Lang, you are so amazing!”
Robby was full of admiration when he saw the wild boar.
The first thing Ming Linyuan felt upon seeing Lin Lang was strong displeasure, “Yanyan doesn’t like eating pork.”
Galian came out of the room.
She was wearing her most beautiful brownish-red coarse linen dress.
Her freshly washed hair was meticulously combed, her face powdered, and her already high cheekbones were even more prominent with the excessive rouge applied…
At first sight of her, Sally almost choked on the fruit she was chewing.
“Sister-in-law, you’re, you’re really beautiful!”
“Really?”
“Absolutely stunning! All prettiness has bowed down!” Sally exclaimed.
Galian lifted her chin, puffed up her chest, and sucked in her stomach, trying to accentuate her voluptuous figure, “We’ve got guests, so I need to look presentable. Look at you, all unkempt, go cook in the kitchen.”
Sally hurriedly nodded, “Yes, yes, I’m going to the kitchen right now.”
Once inside the kitchen, biting into her fruit, Sally had to hold back her laughter…
It wasn’t long before she heard Uncle Auro’s angry chiding coming from the yard, “Let Yanyan come here, you go wash your face in the kitchen.”
Galian, a mix of embarrassment and anger, entered the kitchen and, seeing Sally boiling water, asked, “Don’t I look good?”
“You look great, really beautiful.” Sally suppressed her smile.
“Exactly, I’ve seen the females of the Female Cave do their makeup like this. Those males, they pounce on them like hungry wolves.”
Galian was indignant, but she dared not ignore Auro’s words, so she took the water to wash her face.
Without tea cups, Sally used big bowls to brew four bowls of herbal tea. She also prepared a plate sprinkled with saltwater and seasoned dried meat that had been smoked, as well as a plateful of fresh fruit that Robby had just picked… and brought them out to serve the guests.
