Chapter 204: Tooth for Tooth



This one sentence made Ling Jiheng give up. He glared at Doctor Cheng angrily, but he had to admit that his wife was very fragrant!

He straightened his clothes and became the calm and composed young master of the Ling family again.

Ignoring everyone's teasing looks, he went straight back to Qingfeng Courtyard to seek comfort from his young wife.

Chi Xingyue was so shy that she didn't feel anything until the afternoon. She said she was from the future, after all, how shameless she was.

Moreover, Chi Xingyue couldn't just remain silent since her parents-in-law treated her so well.

After asking Baozhu for some ingredients, Chi Xingyue personally cooked the soup in the side room. He filled the soup with spiritual spring water and secretly added some tonic herbs.

In the evening, Ling Jiheng was asked to deliver it to the east room. Shu Muyun felt that his daughter-in-law was thoughtful, but Ling Weicheng had a bad premonition.

He immediately asked Ling Jiheng to taste it. Ling Jiheng did not refuse and drank a small bowl before going back.

Ling Weicheng dispelled his doubts and scooped a full bowl of mutton and yam to taste it. He found that it was really delicious!

"Tsk tsk, I don't know how Xingyue stewed it, the mutton doesn't smell at all, and the yam is sweet and soft."

"They've been in the kitchen for so long, they're bound to learn a few things from the master chef. You're just too imaginative, thinking they're just like you!"

"Wife, I don't like to hear that. It was clearly you last night..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What's wrong with me? I just offered an idea. If you don't agree, can we succeed?"

Shu Muyun pinched her waist, looking unreasonable. Ling Weicheng glared at her for several seconds, his momentum gradually weakening, and finally, he took the blame.

That night, the east room was noisy all night long. Even though Chi Xingyue was in the west, he could still vaguely hear the noise.

She was hiding in the quilt and laughing, but was pulled into Ling Jiheng's arms.

How could a man who had just eaten some meat scraps let go of the warm and soft jade easily? He gently stroked her delicate waist and kissed her.

The days passed one by one, and on October 28, Song Lizheng came over with an agreement full of fingerprints.

Ling Jiheng took it and looked at it, confirmed that there was no problem, and arranged for people to prepare to go up the mountain.

Ling Yi, Ling San, Jin Bao...

He led a team of six people for three days.

Chi Xingyue prepared dry food and medicine for him, and also gave him a pistol and a bulletproof vest: "Wear it inside, it's best not to use it."

Ling Jiheng smiled and nodded, and even kissed Chi Xingyue on the lips.

Ever since the truth was revealed that night, men have become somewhat shameless.

Chi Xingyue glared at him and went to the shed to look at the Ganoderma lucidum.

Because the substances used were space Ganoderma spores and were blessed by spiritual spring water, the black matrix was covered with mycelium in a short period of time.

Chi Xingyue sprayed some ordinary well water to keep the soil moist, so that the Ganoderma lucidum would not grow too fast and arouse suspicion.

Then he came out and made a slit in the tent to ventilate the mushroom shed. After washing his hands, he continued to make nourishing soup for his parents-in-law.

Ling Weicheng noticed that his physical strength had improved significantly recently, and he looked energetic every day. Shu Muyun, though shy, also looked radiant.

How could the Ling family not see such obvious changes? They privately murmured about the two of them, and some ignorant people even asked Ling Weicheng if he had taken some magic pill.

"Get out of here, damn it!" Ling Weicheng drove Ling Weicun away with a red face, but he was still confused.

He rolled his eyes and gave the soup stewed by Chi Xingyue to Doctor Cheng to drink, but most of it was snatched away, making him regret it.

But it was enough to prove that the soup was fine. Ling Weicheng drank it happily and went to bed. Ah, another energetic night.

The next day, Ling Jiheng, wearing a neat shorts, gathered with Ling Yi and others at the door of Song Lizheng's house.

There were thirty-two men from Qingshan Village going up the mountain for the winter hunt, all between the ages of sixteen and twenty-eight, all strong and healthy, and full of joy.

Ling Jiheng stood at the front and, after a few words of encouragement, said solemnly, "Everyone has signed the waiver agreement. You know what this means. On this mountain, whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with the Ling family."

Therefore, for everyone's safety, I hope that you will follow instructions in all your actions and do not act on your own, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

This winter hunt, we'll be in the mountains for three days and three nights. Everyone, bring your rations, weapons, ropes, and baskets. Say goodbye to your family and friends, and we'll set off immediately."

The young men nodded, waved to their families, checked their equipment, and stood behind Ling Jiheng.

Ling Jiheng glanced at the Ling family mansion from afar, raised his hand and waved, and a group of people went up the mountain in a mighty procession.

Chi Xingyue vaguely sensed something and opened her eyes to find that the person beside her had left. She turned over and stared at the empty space for a long time before closing her eyes again.

The other members of the Ling family wanted to get up early to see him off, but Ling Jiheng said, "It's not like he won't be coming back. There's no need to make a big fuss."

Only then did they stop worrying about it. But they were all praying for them in their hearts, hoping that they would return victorious soon.

Today is the first sunny day since the beginning of winter. When Chi Xingyue opened his eyes, he found that the house was exceptionally bright.

I quickly got dressed and got out of bed, then went to the side room to wash up. When I opened the door, the snow pile in the corner was gleaming with white light.

Chi Xingyue was in a good mood and went to the old lady's yard to have a meal.

As for why I didn’t go to the east room, well, my parents-in-law haven’t gotten up yet.

Chi Xingyue leaned close to the old lady's ear and whispered, "Grandma, my parents are so loving, maybe one day I'll have a brother-in-law!"

The old lady's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she took Chi Xingyue aside and talked to her in private.

The group of people on the mountain made relatively smooth progress. Not long after they left Qingshan Village, the sky gradually brightened.

Although the temperature is unprecedentedly low and makes our cheeks red, the enthusiasm of the young men can melt all difficulties, and victory is just ahead!

Suddenly, a bird chirped. Ling Jiheng raised his hand and threw a stone. The sparrow fell straight to the ground, flapped its wings twice, and died.

Ling Sanle hurried forward, picked up the sparrow, and flattered him, "Master, you have great aim!"

Ling Jiheng raised his eyebrows, said nothing, gave Jin Bao a wink, and the group continued on their way.

Everyone in Qingshan Village was whispering, "Who are these Lings? They're great at business, and they're also incredibly skilled in martial arts! It's a good thing we didn't go against them!"

Ling Jiheng's lips curved upwards when he heard this. Looking at the vast expanse of white mountains and rivers, he couldn't suppress his longing for Chi Xingyue.

In Dahe Village, Cui Wan'er went out to get some water, but was stopped by Cui Yujiao.

He said sarcastically, "Cousin, why didn't the gentleman who came to see you some time ago come? Did he not fancy your status as a poor lady?"

Cui Wan'er glanced at the other person, not taking her words to heart at all. She turned around and changed direction, pouring the dirty water into the weeds on the roadside.

Cui Yujiao looked at Cui Wan'er's graceful back and couldn't help feeling a little angry.
