Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage
Chapter 154: Keep Dancing
At the foot of Yongguan City's not-so-tall city gate tower, a large number of people gathered, eagerly awaiting their arrival.
When Zhao Boli and his soldiers appeared at the end of the official road, cheers erupted from the crowd.
"You're back"
"Your Lordship has worked hard."
"Has the monster been eliminated?"
Zhao Boli, who was walking in front, remained calm and simply nodded slightly in response to the questions from those around him, without saying much.
But the soldiers behind him looked somewhat uncomfortable and embarrassed.
They went out full of bravado, but when they returned, they couldn't even figure out whether the monster was round or flat.
Faced with the probing gazes of the villagers, they could only lower their heads and pretend not to see.
I gritted my teeth and forced my way through the crowd.
Lin Feng mingled at the back of the group, seemingly unperturbed.
Upon entering the city, he naturally separated from the large group of people, turned through several familiar alleys, and returned to his rented courtyard.
Pushing open the wooden door, I saw some clothes drying in the yard.
Hearing the noise, the door to the room creaked open and Xueyao rushed out like a frightened deer.
When she saw that it was Lin Feng, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense for several days, finally settled down, and her eyes reddened slightly.
Ignoring all manners, she stepped forward and tightly hugged Lin Feng's arm, her voice trembling slightly: "Young Master, you're finally back. Are you alright?"
Are you injured?
Lin Feng felt the warmth and slight trembling on his arm, and casually gave her pert buttocks a light pinch.
"It would be too difficult for your young master to get into trouble."
"To tell you the truth, I may not have many other skills, but when it comes to avoiding danger and making a quick getaway, I'd say your young master is second to none in Yongguan City."
Xueyao burst into laughter through her tears at his actions and words, "It's good that you're alright, young master."
Just as they were talking and laughing, the sound of chopping wood came from the woodshed.
Lin Feng listened intently, somewhat surprised: "Huh? Someone's chopping wood? Did you hire someone?"
Xueyao then remembered this and explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Young Master, didn't you tell me a few days ago to take good care of my hands?"
I told you not to do these heavy, rough jobs by hand anymore, so you don't hurt your hands.
I found a seemingly honest and hardworking old woman to help me. We agreed on 600 yuan a month for her to mainly do chores like washing, cleaning, and cooking.
Lin Feng nodded, looked around at the courtyard which was cleaner than usual, and praised, "Not bad, this was handled properly."
He had been traveling for several days and was exhausted. All he wanted to do was wash away his fatigue, so he said, "Go and get me some hot water first. I need to take a good bath."
After spending several days in the mountains, I was covered in dirt.
"Yes, young master, I'll go right away."
Xueyao agreed quickly and turned to run towards the woodshed.
Lin Feng went into the bedroom by himself and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although I've managed to find time to rest at night these past few days, the environment has been different, so I haven't been able to sleep soundly.
Before long, Xueyao led in a middle-aged woman who looked to be around forty years old and had slightly dark skin.
The woman was carrying a rather large wooden bath tub in both hands. When she saw Lin Feng, her eyes showed the natural awe a servant has for their master. She quickly bowed her head and said, "Greetings, young master."
Lin Feng gave a faint "hmm".
The woman quickly placed the bath tub in the open space of the room, then hurried out and made several trips back and forth, bringing back steaming hot water and diluted cold water, which she carefully poured into the tub.
Xueyao, who was standing nearby, tested the water temperature and found it to be just right.
She lowered her head and quietly slipped out, closing the door behind her.
Lin Feng quickly took off his outer clothes and stepped into the bathtub.
The warm water made him feel comfortable.
He leaned against the barrel wall, closing his eyes to rest.
Xueyao brought over a soft towel and gently wiped his back.
Amidst the misty air and with beautiful women attending him, Lin Feng's accumulated fatigue over the past few days seemed to transform into a different kind of restlessness.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a slight smile curving his lips, and grabbed Xueyao's wrist as she rubbed her back, pulling it gently.
"Ah!" Xueyao was caught off guard and cried out softly as she was pulled into the bathtub.
Instantly, her clothes were soaked, clinging to her shapely body and accentuating her curves. Two blushes rose on her cheeks, whether from the heat or from shyness, it was hard to tell.
"Young master, I... I haven't finished rubbing your back yet."
She wiped the water droplets from her face and said coquettishly.
Lin Feng pulled her closer, whispered in her ear, and said with his warm breath, "Don't rush to rub my back."
"Young master, I've been starving for days. I need to eat first."
……
In the kitchen, the new old maid was tending the stove, where soup was simmering and the fire was blazing.
Faintly, she could hear unusual sounds of water rippling coming from the direction of the main house.
Or a rhythmic sound like waves crashing on the shore.
Although she was an experienced woman, she felt uneasy upon hearing the commotion. She dared not think too much, let alone look around, and just kept adding firewood to the stove.
The crackling and popping of the firewood in the raging fire brought her some peace of mind.
Time quickly passed and it was afternoon.
Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, looking refreshed, while Xue Yao, with a rosy complexion and a unique, radiant glow in her eyes, nestled beside him.
Only then did I have time to inquire in detail about the experiences of the past few days.
"Young master, the news has spread far and wide that there are demonic beasts harming people in Yonghe Village."
What happened to that monster afterward?
"Is he dead?" Xueyao asked, still shaken.
Lin Feng took a sip of tea and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, that thing has already run away and probably won't dare to come back."
"What kind of monster is it? How could it be so ferocious as to attack a village?" Xueyao asked curiously.
"Who knows? It was pitch black, and we couldn't see the whole picture."
Lin Feng downplayed the issue, saying, "But I doubt they're that strong. They only dare to target ordinary people who can't fight back."
At this point, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something and said to Xue Yao in a serious tone, "By the way, starting tomorrow, you also need to start practicing martial arts and loosen up your muscles and bones."
Xueyao was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Young master, why should I practice martial arts?"
I don't go and fight with people.
Lin Feng looked at her slender waist and smiled meaningfully, "You can still stay healthy without fighting with others, right?"
"If we build up their physique, we won't have to push them so hard."
As he spoke, his gaze lingered on her.
Xueyao instantly understood what he meant, and the blush that had just faded returned to her cheeks.
"Young master, if you find me unworthy, you can...you can buy another maid, or...you can take a proper concubine." Her voice trailed off.
Lin Feng rubbed his chin, considering it seriously for a moment: "Hmm... this matter isn't urgent."
Next month is the prefectural examination, and I'll probably be leaving Yongguan County. I don't even know if I'll ever come back.
"The prefectural examination?" Xueyao was taken aback at first, then her face turned pale. Forgetting her embarrassment, she said urgently, "Young master, what will I do if you leave?"
Its eyes instantly filled with panic and helplessness, like a small animal abandoned by its owner.
Seeing her like this, Lin Feng was both amused and annoyed. He flicked her smooth forehead with his finger: "Nonsense, you're my woman. If you don't come with me, do you expect me to leave you here to guard the house?"
Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief and a smile returned to her face.
Her smile was even brighter than the sunlight outside the window. She leaned close to Lin Feng and said softly, "That's good. As long as I'm with you, I'll feel at ease wherever we go."
"Good girl." Lin Feng gently patted the top of her head.
Xueyao said softly, "Young Master must have been very tired these past few days. Just resting won't be very interesting. How about I dance for you to relieve your boredom and liven things up?"
Lin Feng thought it was a good idea.
"Hmm, go change into something sexy."
Xueyao rolled her eyes at Lin Feng, knowing perfectly well what clothes he was referring to.
"Yes, sir."
While Xueyao was changing clothes, Lin Feng flipped his hand and took out two bottles of beer.
Then, as if by magic, she produced a peanut wrapped in oil paper, a plate of pickled chicken feet glistening with red oil, a bag of crispy rice crust, and several pre-cooked cold dishes, including braised beef and cucumber salad.
A moment later, Xueyao came in after changing her clothes.
She was wearing a bodycon dress and black stockings.
As Lin Feng began to dance in the open space, he felt that something was missing.
He stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over the beer and snacks on the table, then slapped his forehead:
"I've got it! Dancing without music is no fun."
Soon, a speaker the size of a palm appeared in his hand.
After connecting via Bluetooth, a DJ song called "Unforgettable" quickly started playing.
"When I'm all made up and the show begins, I'll sing my own song of joy and sorrow on stage."
Like floating clouds in flowing robes, she faded into the night, her temples now streaked with frost...
Xueyao stared at all of this in disbelief; what kind of box could actually make music?
Lin Feng said, "What are you standing there for? Keep dancing."
As the wondrous music played, Xueyao gracefully unfurled her wide sleeves and began to dance.
