My wife is the stand-in.

Suddenly, Amanosaki felt a pleasant body press against his burning back.

The bulge pressed gently against his vest, creating a soft, mesmerizing effect.

Two hands embraced his chest, trembling as they spoke of their master's panic.

"Whoosh!"

The girl's breathing was heavy, making Amanosaki's earlobes feel hot.

Saeko Busujima made no further moves, clinging to Amanosaki like a puppet, her entire body stiff.

'Indeed, she appears upright and incorruptible on the surface, but when it comes to actually fighting, she's more shy than anyone else. That's the beauty of a martial arts woman!'

Amanosaki looked like he knew it.

Then he felt a chill in his lower body.

The vital point has been seized.

Now it was Amanosaki's turn to freeze.

Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?

Saeko Busujima's breath was still scorching hot, but when it blew on Amanosaki's back, for some reason, it made him feel a little chilly, and goosebumps rose on his skin.

When it comes to serious matters or when she's being earnest, Saeko Busujima uses more respectful titles.

Even the most well-trained man will always have some weaknesses.

While African buffalo and lions are indeed powerful and strong, they are helpless against a fanged dog's anal attack.

Amanosaki is now in Saeko Busujima's clutches; his body feels good, but his mind is on edge.

"Saeko, I didn't say anything bad about you," Amanosaki quickly clarified. "That kind of delicate yet contradictory nature is exactly what makes you so endearing! I'm praising you!"

"Hmm~ Is that so..."

Saeko Busujima remained noncommittal.

"Of course, I... um!"

Amanosaki wanted to say something, but Saeko Busujima, who was pressed against his back, narrowed her eyes and started to playfully touch him.

What are you trying to say?

"I mean... oh dear!"

Amanosaki was unable to utter a single word.

……

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. Amanosaki lay there, his strong body exposed, enjoying himself immensely, with the beautiful, serpentine Saeko Busujima beside him.

Saeko Busujima rested her head on his arm, nestled contentedly in his embrace, her breathing calm, the two enjoying this rare moment of peace.

A short while later, Saeko Busujima sat up, her arms feeling weak, and wobbled out of bed after putting on a yukata.

Under Amanosaki's questioning gaze, the girl opened the kettle, poured some hot water into the basin, and soaked the towel in it.

A few seconds later, she gently scooped it up, not caring that it was too hot to wring out, her delicate hands reddened from the scalding water.

Then Saeko Busujima spread out the towel and shook it a few times to cool it down quickly before leisurely returning, kneeling on the bed, and wiping Saeko Busujima down.

“Saeko…” Amanosaki called out her name, moved by her lover’s thoughtful gesture.

Saeko Busujima gently wiped Amanosaki with a warm towel, and her gentle demeanor excited Amanosaki once again.

"Hey, you bad guy!"

Lin Shuyu looked at Amanosaki, covered her face with the sleeve of her yukata, turned her head to the side, and said coquettishly.

Amanosaki couldn't help but sit up and pounce on Saeko Busujima.

"What are you doing!" Saeko Busujima slapped Amanosaki's head in annoyance.

Amanosaki bit Saeko Busujima's shoulder and chuckled, "With such a thoughtful wife, how could a husband bear not to reciprocate?"

“But if you hug each other, you’ll only sweat more!” Saeko Busujima didn’t believe it at all.

"it's okay no problem."

Amanosaki rubbed against the girl's breasts, taking full advantage of her:

"Let your husband lick the beauty clean."

"Ugh! You still say that! How disgusting!"

Saeko Busujima cried out, pressing one hand against Amanosaki's face to stop him from succeeding.

But under Amanosaki's two-handed attack, the girl's whole body went numb, and she quickly succumbed.

The moonlight was bright, and the weather was perfect.

Chapter 175: Tropical Cyclone

Around eight o'clock, the constant honking of horns forced everyone to get up.

Fortunately, most of the people on the river were knights and soldiers who were used to sudden orders. With the weariness of staying up all night, they yawned and began to wash up in an orderly manner.

Even the fishermen and boat captains who temporarily set up camps on both sides of the river using furniture and tents had few complaints.

After all, they all make a living on the river. When heavy rain or other severe weather comes, it is not uncommon for them to be busy all night long protecting the boats and cargo.

Moreover, Lin Shuyu had already transferred the extras' money to their respective accounts last night. As for the new boat, everyone can pick it up at the Dajiang Water Affairs Bureau's pier.

These new ships were all orders placed by subsidiaries of the Yanlong Consortium and other groups. Although they are called new ships, most of them were actually inventory ships that had been built but not sold long ago. The purge of Dajiang was something everyone could have predicted.

At the earliest next year, or at the latest the year after, the transportation and fishing industries of Dajiang will surely prosper. By extending the life of these struggling shipyards with orders now, we can gain an advantage in Dajiang's shipping business in the future.

Even these abandoned ships can be recycled and reused.

Amanosaki thought he was getting free props from the extras, but in reality, the investors were the ones who never lost out.

Pushing open the door, the mighty river, nearing the end of the rainy season, was surging with water. The Wudang branch upstream was retrieval, roasting, and grinding the carcasses in the river basin into feed. The fish carcasses from last night had been washed downstream. Now, in the river basin where the fleet was located, there was hardly any smell of blood, and the air was filled with refreshing freshness.

After greeting the group of heroes, Amanosaki and Saeko Busujima went up to the second-floor cafeteria, where they bumped into Karenina eating with a complicated expression.

Last night, Spiegelberg's team left overnight in a military helicopter, leaving her alone. She was ambitious and wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Amanosaki, get in touch with the Chinese government, and take all the contracts he had.

But by morning, Karenina already had some regrets.

Amanosaki watched as Karenina finished her porridge, leaving only some eggshells on the table, but she didn't touch the pickled vegetables or fermented bean curd. He then realized that this mature woman was not used to the breakfast of southern China.

The entire crew of the Suobianyu were Chinese, and they never considered preparing food for foreigners. Considering the possibility of a shipwreck, the ship was only stocked with food that could be stored for a long time, such as fruit, which was all consumed on the day of departure.

There was also oil tea and spicy soup in the bucket, but Karenina didn't really like eating these things.

Logically, the Rus' people should have been more accepting of Chinese pickled vegetables, given their northerly location and the fact that their diet included pickled vegetables and meats.

However, Karenina's grandparents immigrated to Armenia a long time ago, and although she is a mature woman with the name Ross, she has a true Armenian stomach.

"There's a vending machine outside the first-floor reception room that sells buttered bread. Miss Karenina, you might want to take a look."

Amanosaki kindly pointed out the way, and Karenina was overjoyed. She gave Amanosaki a charming smile and swayed her hips as she left the cafeteria.

The men in the cafeteria were slurping up soup, looking extremely focused, but their eyes were all lingering on the shapely buttocks.

The ship "Suobianyu" is mostly filled with men, and most of the women are already taken. Karenina is still a single woman, with striking looks and a seductive figure. While most people can't have her, it's nice to look at her and satisfy your cravings.

Amanosaki received his meal amidst the ingratiating smile of his older brother who was in charge of cooking, and sat down contentedly.

His plate had twice as many side dishes as others, and the rice was also made up of dry ingredients, which suited his taste perfectly.

He didn't give any instructions; it was everyone's own initiative.

Amanosaki has a big appetite, as everyone who's been on the same boat for a while knows. Plus, he's strong and resilient, and he's willing to give everyone opportunities to appear on screen for movie promotions. Last night, he also confirmed his relationship with the boat captain, Lin Shuyu, so he naturally received special attention.

"These were all spontaneous actions by my friends. I didn't force them, so it doesn't count as accepting bribes."

Amanosaki was thinking happily when he took a bite of the egg that Saeko Busujima had peeled and handed to him. Just then, he saw Lin Shuyu rubbing her temples as she entered the cafeteria, so he raised his hand to invite his girlfriend to eat together.

Lin Shuyu sat opposite Amanosaki with her tray in hand, watching Saeko Busujima peel eggs for Amanosaki, without feeling any jealousy.

Last night, her great-uncle talked to her a lot, from self-competitiveness to how to be a mistress, he practically told her the most naked truths after abandoning all the sweetness of love.

Therefore, although she was somewhat disheartened by her great-uncle's words, she was mentally prepared.

But all that discouragement vanished when Amanosaki placed a small plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes on her plate and said happily, "Shuyu, try this, it's very fragrant."

The knights sitting around Amanosaki watched as this man calmly mediated between the two women, sometimes eating the eggs that Saeko Busujima handed him, sometimes serving food to Lin Shuyu, and sometimes helping Saeko Busujima eat the food she didn't like. They felt that the air was filled with an unbearably sweet smell.

They all silently picked up their plates and moved to the side.

"Damn it, eating so many eggs, be careful of protein poisoning!" someone mumbled, their teeth aching from the sourness, as they slurped down their porridge.

As breakfast was nearing its end, Lin Shuyu wiped her mouth with a tissue and tapped the table lightly: "The people from the Wudang branch have left first."

Amano Saki saw Lin Shuyu's face turn serious. His mouth, which was biting into an egg, paused slightly. He swallowed the egg whole and took a sip of soy milk to wash it down. "What's wrong? Is there trouble inside the Wudang branch?"

“No.” Lin Shuyu shook her head. “It’s our next destination, the Hongdu branch, that ran into trouble.”

"Didn't they just release a batch of four-clawed scaled fish yesterday? What, the fish infestation still can't be dealt with?"

"The fish infestation itself isn't a big deal. The main problem is the flooding."

Lin Shuyu's words made Amanosaki sit up straight. "King Fish?"

Lin Shuyu nodded and pushed the tablet over. Amanosaki was shocked to see a red tropical cyclone marked on the weather map moving from southeast to northwest along the dotted line, having already crossed Japan and made landfall in Shanghai.

Unfortunately, the path of the tropical cyclone that ravaged the continent was almost identical to that of the main stream of a major river.

It was as if someone was manipulating the cyclone, deliberately pushing it upstream.

Amanosaki couldn't help but recall that guy he'd met once at the Fengdu branch, who looked like a major villain.

He emphasized this guy in his report, but so far no similar information about evil heretics has been found in Qunxia Mountain, as if this guy appeared out of thin air.

Seeing that Amanosaki was a little distracted, Lin Shuyu gently kicked him under the table.

"Sorry, sorry, I was daydreaming." Amanosaki Oki and Lin Shuyu smiled brightly.

"We're getting down to business." The girl's dissatisfaction turned into a sigh.

"The current situation is that, in both Shanghai and Jiangnan, due to the rising water levels caused by the typhoon, four-clawed scale fish may take the opportunity to dive into ponds and town sewers, and even come out onto the streets. This is not serious; it happens every year. At most, it will take up manpower."

“But the situation in Hongdu is different. Because the provinces and cities upstream of Hongdu have put a lot of effort into clearing up the fish infestation in their own river basins and are planning for economic recovery. The local people who rely on the river for their livelihood are also waiting for rice to cook. If the typhoon breaks the blockade and brings floodwaters up, all our efforts will be in vain.”
