Mushroom Man

"if……"

"If only he could stay like this forever..."

As the woman in the purple dress pondered, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

Admittedly, this mysterious and unpredictable mushroom master must be extremely dangerous, and who knows what he might be plotting to get his head chopped off.

Otherwise, this person would not have chosen to conceal their identity and transform themselves into Zhuo Buqun.

Even so, so what?

No matter how dangerous this person is, is he more dangerous than Zhuo Buqun?
For the woman in the purple dress, Zhuo Buqun was even more dangerous than this mysterious figure!

After all, this mysterious being did nothing to the mother and daughter from beginning to end; on the contrary, he was polite and very gentle.

On the other hand, if it weren't for this person switching them, Zhuo Buqun and his mother would probably have been sold to slaves by that beast long ago.

Now that Zhuo Buqun has been replaced, he is clearly dead and gone.

Without a doubt, this is a tremendously joyous occasion!
Over the years, the woman in the purple dress had wanted to kill Zhuo Buqun every single moment.

Unfortunately, she was a weak woman who also had to protect her child, so she didn't have the courage to lay a hand on Zhuo Buqun.

The appearance of this person now undoubtedly avenged her great grudge!
Therefore, this person was neither her enemy nor an extremely dangerous villain, but rather Song Jinlian's benefactor!

"Big Brother, that little beast has finally gone down to join you..."

The woman in the purple dress, Song Jinlian, clenched her slender hands tightly, muttered something barely audible to herself, and a few tears glistened in her eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Did Tao'er eat Uncle's food and make Mother unhappy...?"

Tao'er noticed her mother's unusual behavior, and her eyes quickly filled with tears.

She felt guilty, thinking that she had done something wrong that made her mother cry.

"No, it's nothing. It's just that the sea breeze on the island is too strong, and sand got into Mother's eyes."

"Peach, be good, we're not leaving today."

"It's getting late, let's go back inside and rest."

Song Jinlian quickly composed herself, forcibly holding back her tears, and gently comforted Tao'er.

Tao'er was still a child after all, and when she heard her mother say that everything was alright, she immediately believed it.

"Mother, Tao'er isn't sleepy yet. Tao'er will help you with the chores..."

Tao'er was very sensible. When she heard that she didn't have to leave home for the time being, she quickly helped her mother clean up the leftover food on the table.

Seeing this, Song Jinlian felt both heartache and relief.

She took a deep breath and did not choose to take this opportunity to report 'Zhuo Buqun'.

Instead, she continued to act as a virtuous wife and loving mother, cleaning up leftovers and doing housework.

Before long, the leftover food and luggage on the table were tidied up.

Tao'er was still young. After eating and drinking her fill and doing housework, she was already so tired that her eyelids were drooping.

Song Jinlian carried him back to a side room, which was originally a place reserved for guests.

Later, after Zhuo Buqun took over the family, he couldn't stand Tao'er, so he drove her from the main house to this place.

Song Jinlian coaxed Tao'er to sleep, and then went to the main house.

She stood in front of the house, hesitated for a moment, and then carefully pushed the door open and went inside.

Upon entering the room, they found that Zhuo Buqun was already resting and asleep on the bed.

"call……"

Upon seeing this, Song Jinlian breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

She made no sound, found some bedding and spread it on the ground, afraid of disturbing her benefactor.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have come to the main house to rest, but should have slept in the side room.

However, this approach has some drawbacks.

Although Song Jinlian didn't know what her benefactor's purpose was in changing his appearance, she understood that he certainly didn't want to expose himself. This was evident from the fact that he never revealed his identity and continued to pretend to be her husband.

If that's the case, why should she be so clever as to keep her distance?

If she keeps her distance, wouldn't that mean she already knows her benefactor has a problem?

Whether their benefactors will kill them or leave them at that time remains to be seen.

Under these circumstances, how could Song Jinlian dare to gamble?

So all she could do was act as usual, pretending nothing had happened.

However, since she was already a married woman, she naturally couldn't be shameless enough to climb into her benefactor's bed.

If she displeases her benefactor, she and Tao'er will be in danger.

So Song Jinlian had no choice but to sleep on the floor and get through the night...

After lying down, Song Jinlian tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She was constantly pondering whether her treatment of her benefactor was the right thing to do.

Just then, Song Jinlian suddenly heard a rustling sound.

She immediately tensed up, cautiously opening her eyes a crack to peek out.

It turned out that Zhuo Buqun had slept for a while and had rested up, so he sat up from the bed.

And all of this took only an hour or two.

Song Jinlian wondered to herself, "My benefactor only slept for such a short while, isn't he tired?"

The moment the thought flashed through her mind, 'Zhuo Buqun' seemed to sense it and looked at her, who was pretending to be asleep.

Song Jinlian was startled and quickly closed her eyes, no longer daring to peek.

Fortunately, 'Zhuo Buqun' didn't seem to have any feelings for her.

After he got up, he prepared to leave under the cover of night.

After 'Zhuo Buqun' reached the door, he slowly and deliberately began to speak...

"Madam, I will need to stay here for another month or so."

"During this period, I will not do anything to you and your daughter."

"Of course, I also hope you can maintain the status quo and understand what you should and shouldn't do."

"Once this matter is settled, I will depart."

"If you perform well during this time, Madam, I wouldn't mind granting you a special opportunity before I leave..."

Zhuo Buqun, also known as Wu Liang, made a move after speaking and disappeared without a trace.

Only then did Song Jinlian dare to open her eyes.

Looking around the room where she was all alone, a huge weight lifted from her heart.

Song Jinlian knew she hadn't made the wrong bet!

This benefactor indeed harbored no hostility towards them!
As long as they behave themselves and act as if nothing happened.

This time, not only is there no danger, but it might even be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the mother and daughter!
Thinking of this, Song Jinlian couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"This benefactor is a good person..."

"I just don't know if the strange phenomenon of falling into the sea during the day is related to our benefactor."

……

Wu Liang soared through the air and arrived at the coast from the Zhuo family in an instant.

He glanced back at the brightly lit Chaotic Star Island, his eyes filled with a deep, unsettling light.

"It seems that my strategy of winning hearts and minds through appeasement has been quite effective."

"Indeed, sometimes it is not necessary to fight or kill, or to use coercion and bribery, to solve problems."

"To deal with that mother and daughter, I only need to show a little kindness and then subtly guide them with the Deception Mushroom; I can still influence their hearts." (End of Chapter)
