Xiuxian: Beautiful Women Like Clouds

Chapter 1148 Chopping Wood

"Get out!" Yi Shuishui said angrily, picking up a water glass from the table and throwing it at Lu Hao.

"Bang!" Lu Hao didn't dodge at all. His forehead was instantly smashed and swollen. Strands of bright red blood slid down his handsome face, creating a kind of broken beauty.

"Fool, why didn't you dodge!" The coldness on Yi Shuishui's face quickly melted away, replaced by disbelief and apology.

“If fate has decreed that we can never be together, I want to at least leave a deeper impression on you, so that you can’t forget me,” Lu Hao said, raising his dark eyes with deep affection.

"You're really...so silly!" Lu Hao's words were like a pebble thrown into Yi Shuishui's heart, which had been calm for decades, creating ripples.

"Then...do you like it when I'm foolish towards you?" Lu Hao asked in a low, persistent voice, letting the blood on his forehead flow down his chin.

"It's destined that we can never be together, so don't put your heart into me anymore," Yi Shuishui sighed softly.

"I..." Lu Hao wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"I've heard you have some unusual fetishes. Xuan'er is still young, you can't do anything reckless!" Yi Shuishui hesitated slightly, but still couldn't help but remind her.

"When did I develop any unusual fetishes?" Lu Hao asked, puzzled.

"Some things can only last if both people are willing. If you only pursue your own sense of curiosity and ignore the pain that others are suffering, the relationship will inevitably crack sooner or later," Yi Shuishui continued to remind her.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hao was stunned. He naturally understood that Yi Shuishui was implying something, but he was too embarrassed to say it outright.

"You've misunderstood..." Lu Hao's face flushed red instantly, and he hurriedly said.

“We’re all adults. It doesn’t matter if I misunderstand or not, but you shouldn’t build your hobbies on other people’s suffering.” After saying that, Yi Shuishui was about to turn and leave when she was stopped by a firm voice behind her.

"If, and I mean if, I had pursued you when you were younger, would you have agreed to date me?" Lu Hao couldn't help but ask.

He originally thought the other party wouldn't answer him, but to his surprise, they did, and the answer delighted him.

"I don't think I would refuse you until I meet someone I like!" Yi Shuishui suddenly turned around and smiled, her smile captivating.

"Great!" Upon receiving the reply, Lu Hao's face flushed red, as if he had been given a stimulant, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Lu Hao entered the room and sat on the bed with a silly grin on his face. In reality, the wound on his forehead was a staged injury; with his physical strength, how could an ordinary cup possibly harm him?

But when it comes to pursuing a girl, he's willing to risk everything, even breaking a leg, let alone getting hurt.

The next morning, when Yi Shuishui saw Lu Hao's burning gaze, she felt awkward and avoided eye contact. The atmosphere among the three of them was very subtle and awkward.

After the three of them had a quick breakfast, Yi Shuishui started to urge them to leave, leaving the two with no choice but to go.

In the days that followed, Lu Hao spent his days diligently cultivating and constantly flirting with Yi Shuishui.

"Why are you here again!" Yi Shuishui had just gotten up when she heard the sound of chopping wood coming from the backyard. She pushed open the door and couldn't help but frown.

"I was worried you wouldn't have any firewood, so I chopped some wood for you." Lu Hao swung his arms and split a log in two. Beads of sweat slid down his handsome face and then flowed down his bronze skin. His bare upper body, as if forged from steel, was full of power.

"You take off your shirt every day and run here to me. If this continues for a few more days, my reputation will probably be ruined!" Yi Shuishui said, looking at Lu Hao's bare upper body with shame and indignation.

"What's the value of reputation? You should learn from me and take it easy," Lu Hao couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"You don't care if your reputation still has room to decline, but I'm different!" Yi Shuishui rolled her beautiful eyes at him and said angrily.

"By the way, do you still have any water in your tank? I'll go fetch some for you!" Lu Hao said, trying to force his way in to fetch water.

"I don't like men who insist on doing things their own way!" Yi Shuishui was almost speechless. Lu Hao was the kind of person who would deliberately create trouble for himself.

"Is my sister there?" A soft female voice sounded from the doorway.

"Quick, hide! Our clan's loudspeaker is here!" Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yi Shuishui hurriedly pulled Lu Hao into the house. After all, it wouldn't sound good if word got out that a man and a woman were alone together, and if word got out that she was having an affair, she would be hard to clear her name.

"Okay, hide!" Lu Hao's eyes flashed, and he dodged away in the blink of an eye.

"I didn't tell you to hide under my skirt, you bastard!" Yi Shuishui was embarrassed and angry. She wanted to bite Lu Hao, that shameless scoundrel, to death, but the woman had already come in, so she could only find a table to block her view.

"Is your sister home? Is everyone home alone?" The woman looked around the room, then smiled and sat down.

"What are you looking at, Sister Ziyun? I'm all alone here. Is there something you need?" Yi Shuishui sat behind the table, subtly adjusting her skirt. She was extremely wary of this woman who liked to talk big, afraid that the other woman would discover this.

"How about I introduce a marriage proposal to your daughter?" Zi Yun said with a smile.

"That's exactly what I was thinking too. May I ask which family's young master you are?" Yi Shuishui said with a charming smile, as she wanted to get revenge on Lu Hao.

“It’s Zhao Sheng, the eldest son of the Zhao family. His family is extremely powerful, and he is the only heir of the Zhao family. He is currently in the Martial God Academy. If we marry Xuan’er to him, our clan might not have to hide anymore,” Zi Yun said with a light laugh.

"Actually, as long as the other party isn't a lecherous old man, a shameless scoundrel, or a pervert, it's all negotiable," Yi Shuishui replied with a smile.

Lu Hao knew that Yi Shuishui was indirectly insulting him, so he pinched her smooth calf hard with his palm.

"Ah!" Yi Shuishui's full red lips parted slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a soft cry, her voice sounding so charming and alluring.

"What's wrong with you?" Zi Yun asked, looking puzzled.

"A mosquito bit me, but I killed it." Yi Shuishui kicked Lu Hao hard, but he grabbed her foot tightly, and she said angrily.

“We’re all women, did you just… try something new?” Zi Yun said, revealing some private matters about women.

"Sister Ziyun, what are you thinking? It really was just a mosquito." Yi Shuishui said irritably.

"Don't lie to your sister. You've been a widow for so many years, don't you miss men? I feel uncomfortable if I don't have a man for a day," Zi Yun said with a smile.

"Sister, please stop talking! Be careful, the walls may hear us!" Yi Shuishui said, her pretty face blushing.

"There's no one next door either." The woman actually went next door to take a look.

Taking this opportunity, Yi Shuishui and Lu Hao started arguing. When Zi Yun returned, she sat up straight.

"Huh, why is your hair all messy, and your clothes are a bit disheveled? Could it be..." Zi Yun narrowed her eyes slightly.

"No...don't talk nonsense." Yi Shuishui hurriedly brushed the black hair from her forehead and quickly put on the clothes that had slipped off her shoulders.

Lu Hao couldn't help but chuckle to himself, and mischievously used a strand of hair to gently stroke Yi Shuishui's ankle, making her restless.

"You wouldn't really... This is broad daylight, your addiction is too strong." Zi Yun stared wide-eyed at Yi Shuishui, who was in pain all over, and said incredulously.

"No, Sister Ziyun, please don't misunderstand!" Yi Shuishui hurriedly explained.

Lu Hao became addicted to pranks and started pushing his luck.

"Lu Hao... I'll fight you to the death!" Yi Shuishui couldn't hold back any longer and lifted the seat to fight Lu Hao.

"You actually cheated on me in broad daylight!" Yi Shuishui exclaimed in shock, her eyes wide.

"Don't misunderstand, really not!" Yi Shuishui sat on Lu Hao's waist, grabbing his hair with one hand and scratching his face with the other.

Lu Hao was almost scratched like a cat, his face covered in bright red claw marks.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I understand!" Zi Yun smiled ambiguously.

"Really, it's not what you think." Yi Shuishui's eyes were red, and she was almost crying.

"Don't worry, I'm known for keeping my mouth shut, it won't get out. You two continue." Zi Yun was the last to run out, and before leaving, she thoughtfully closed the door for them.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the whole village knew that Yi Shuishui was having an affair.

"You've ruined my reputation built up over decades! I'll fight you to the death!" Yi Shuishui went berserk, scratching Lu Hao's face repeatedly with both hands, determined to tear his skin apart.

Lu Hao was caught off guard before, but now that he was on guard, he easily grabbed her wrist, rendering her unable to move.

"Waaaah..." Yi Shuishui couldn't fight back, and finally, drop by drop, crystal tears slid down her beautiful face, making her look so pitiful.

“You’re crying…” Lu Hao couldn’t stand seeing a woman cry, especially a beautiful woman, and immediately softened.

"Stop crying, I'll let you scratch my face, okay?" Lu Hao brought his face closer and said apologetically.

"Waaah..." Yi Shuishui cried louder and louder, her shoulders constantly sobbing.

Her crying seemed to make the whole world seem wrong; tears streamed down her face, and Lu Hao stood by, at a loss for what to do.
