Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool-Chapter 49: Dead Fish, Solid Bite? Run

Speaking of which, Su Liyan’s mother was a well-traveled woman.

She had cultivated outside the pass, following that Grand Celestial Master to save people and vanquish demons.

Later, after some misfortune, her winding path eventually led her to Taiping City.

She was no ordinary village woman.

But the things her own daughter was saying... Su Liyan’s mother was truly...

Completely and utterly shaken.

While Su Liyan’s mother stood there, rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning,

Su Liyan, thinking her mother didn’t believe her, blushed and added:

"He even insisted on leaving a hickey on my tail... But...

How can you even leave a hickey on something like this...?"

Su Liyan’s mother:

"..."

"..."

The utterly shaken Su Liyan’s mother, after snapping out of it, stammered:

"...As long as he treasures it, that’s fine...

"As long as he treasures it...

"If that’s the case... you... you should just let him be..."

With that, Su Liyan’s mother shook her head, lamenting how crazy the world had become.

Then, she prepared to turn and leave.

But just then, Lu Yuan came running over from a distance, looking flustered and panicked.

He shouted as he ran:

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

Lu Yuan’s behavior struck the mother and daughter as strange.

When Lu Yuan reached them, he grabbed them both and hurried them away, a look of lingering fear on his face.

"Dammit.

A dead fish bites the hook. Let’s go, quickly! There’s a Xingzi here."

The mother and daughter exchanged a baffled look.

’Impossible!’

’When Lu Yuan arrived today, all the Xingzi in the village must have seen him. Besides, the two of us were just sitting right here. Who would be so unafraid of death as to dare mess with Lu Yuan?’

Instantly, the expressions on the mother and daughter’s faces turned dark and uncertain.

Su Liyan’s mother, snapping back to her senses, immediately said:

"Yuan’Er, it’s alright, it’s alright. It must be a coincidence."

"Liyan, you go back and see what’s going on."

Su Liyan nodded at once. Today, she was determined to see for herself.

’Who is so unafraid of death that they dare to provoke the mighty?!’

’If she didn’t skin this Xingzi today, her surname wasn’t Su!’

However, Lu Yuan refused to let go of Su Liyan’s hand. He continued to pull the mother and daughter along, saying:

"No, no, no, there’s nothing to see."

"It’s normal for a place like this to have Xingzi. I reckon plenty of people have drowned here before."

"Don’t go. It’ll be bad if we piss it off. Let’s just hurry home."

Lu Yuan just kept pulling the two of them along.

Su Liyan blinked her eyes and said suddenly:

"You’re still scared of these Xingzi?

"Didn’t you blast one with a single shot just yesterday?"

Speaking of which, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but purse his lips, retorting stubbornly:

"It’s not that I’m scared, I’m just... creeped out."

"Besides... last night I had no choice. Right now, if we can avoid it, we should avoid it..."

Hearing her son-in-law’s words, Su Liyan’s mother’s beautiful eyes curved into crescents.

’My son-in-law is actually quite cute when he talks.’

’Creeped out... isn’t that just another word for scared?’

Soon, the three of them arrived home.

Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and the others had already gone home long ago.

The two aunties had also cleared the table and put away the leftover dishes.

The house was spotless.

Su Changliang was currently sitting in the main room, keeping watch to make sure none of their things were stolen.

Seeing the three of them return so soon after leaving, he quickly asked what had happened.

Su Liyan’s mother, considerate of her son-in-law’s pride, simply waved her hand and said:

"It’s nothing. Tonight, you can clear a spot to sleep in the west room. I’ll keep watch."

Su Changliang nodded and said no more.

Having returned, Lu Yuan also tidied up and got ready for bed.

He had gone for a stroll, been chilled by the cold wind, and gotten a good scare.

Now he was actually feeling a bit sleepy.

He went back to get some sleep.

Tonight, though, he wouldn’t be able to sleep with his wife in his arms.

Lu Yuan was to sleep in Su Changliang’s east room, while Su Liyan would sleep in the west room, where she had stayed before she was married.

Su Changliang just had to clear out a spot for himself in the storage area of the main hall’s west wing.

It was a shame he couldn’t sleep with his wife at his in-laws’ house, but one night was just one night.

He had to give his father-in-law some face, right?

However...

Lu Yuan didn’t think much of it.

Su Liyan, on the other hand, was feeling a bit restless.

She had been married for over half a month now.

She had grown used to sleeping every night wrapped around her man’s scorching hot body.

Suddenly being in a cold bed all by herself just didn’t feel right at all.

It wasn’t that Su Liyan needed her man to tire her out a few times before she could sleep.

She just wanted to sleep in her man’s arms at night.

Sometime in the dead of night,

unable to hold back any longer, Su Liyan quietly got out of bed.

Hugging her pillow, she stealthily left the room.

She was heading for her man’s room across the way.

However, just as Su Liyan, pillow in her arms, stealthily made it halfway, her mother happened to open her door and come out.

Su Liyan’s mother hadn’t come out for any particular reason.

She was just thinking of turning off the Spiritual Lamp.

Being a worldly woman, Su Liyan’s mother knew that these Spiritual Lamps had a limited lifespan.

Just like a candle, if you left it lit for too long, it would burn out.

There was no need to keep such a precious item lit all the time.

’After all, she didn’t need her eyes to watch the courtyard.’

But she hadn’t expected to step into the courtyard and run right into her daughter, pillow in hand, trying to sneak into the son-in-law’s room.

The mother and daughter stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Then, as if nothing had happened—or rather, as if she hadn’t seen her daughter at all—

Su Liyan’s mother turned, went to where the Spiritual Lamp was placed, and switched it off.

’By rights, this wasn’t proper.’

’Rules were rules.’

’Then again,’

’rules were made for those without power.’

’They didn’t apply to her son-in-law.’

Delighted, Su Liyan hurried into her man’s room.

Lu Yuan was sleeping groggily.

He felt a stir under the covers, and a soft, warm, fragrant body snuggled up against him.

He knew without thinking that it was his wife.

But Lu Yuan, who had been on the verge of sleep, wasn’t in the mood. The key issue was that these mud-brick houses weren’t very soundproof.

So, he could only hold his wife and peacefully go to sleep.

...

「The next morning.」

Village folk sleep early and wake early.

At around four in the morning, layers of white mist still drifted through the village.

Every household was up, lighting fires to cook breakfast.

Su Liyan’s family was no different.

Su Liyan’s mother hadn’t slept all night, but she didn’t feel very tired now.

She opened the door to the main room, preparing to fetch some firewood to start the cooking fire.

The moment she stepped outside, she once again bumped into Su Liyan coming out of Lu Yuan’s room.

The two made eye contact.

Su Liyan was a little shy and quickly averted her gaze.

Su Liyan’s mother, however, didn’t mention last night’s events at all. She simply went to get the firewood and said nonchalantly:

"Changliang’s fishing rod and creel were left by the reservoir yesterday.

"Go get them back so they don’t get lost.

"And while you’re at it, ask what’s going on.

"Ask it if it’s tired of living."

Before Su Liyan’s mother had even finished speaking, Su Liyan was already out of the courtyard gate. A light voice drifted back:

"Mm.

"If it’s tired of living, I’ll help it along."
