315: Chapter 95 Water and Moon

Three months later, the Old Woman of Tian Shan successfully completed her reconstruction, and her strength returned to its Peak.

Meng Li, Wang Yuyan, Li Qingluo, Zhu Jian, and Mei Jian bid farewell to Wu Ya Zi and the Old Woman of Tian Shan, left Lingjiu Palace, and returned to Suzhou.

When they came to Lingjiu Palace this time, Wang Yuyan and Li Qingluo thought they could help, but unexpectedly, they only played a minor role. They only met Li Qiu Shui once, and there was none of the tearful reunion scene they had anticipated.

This left the two feeling a bit let down, but with Meng Li accompanying them sightseeing, they quickly recovered.

Upon returning to Suzhou, Meng Li first stopped by to send Li Qingluo back to Manda Mountain Villa, then picked up A Zhu and Mu Wanqing to return to Canhe Village together.

As the group entered the manor, A Bi and A Zi rushed out to greet them.

As soon as A Zi saw Meng Li, she ran and threw herself into his arms, acting spoiled: "Young Master Master, you're finally back. A Zi missed you so much."

"What about me?" Wang Yuyan, standing nearby, found the scene both amusing and exasperating, and couldn't help but tease.

A Zi replied without hesitation: "Miss you too."

Saying that, she left Meng Li's embrace, turned to hug Wang Yuyan, and buried her Face in her chest, rubbing against her.

Immediately after, A Zi looked towards Mei Jian and Zhu Jian, who were a step behind: "And Mei Jian, Zhu Jian, I missed you both too."

After speaking, she released Wang Yuyan and hugged Mei Jian and Zhu Jian separately.

This inclusive behavior made Wang Yuyan and the other women laugh in exasperation.

Meng Li smiled, gave a few simple instructions, and went to bathe.

As soon as he stepped into the bath and sat down, he noticed a familiar figure swimming like a fish in the water.

"Hiss~"

Having anticipated the attack, Meng Li drew a sharp breath and then settled in to enjoy it.

However, the figure in the water didn't achieve the desired result for a long time.

She broke the surface of the water and sat up in Meng Li's embrace; it was A Zi.

"Young Master Master~"

A Zi softly called Meng Li's name, her eyes lingering.

"Mm."

Meng Li responded with a sound, shifting from defense to offense.

...

Afterward, Meng Li held the limp A Zi and asked with a light laugh: "Why were you so eager and greedy?"

A Zi murmured softly: "I missed you, missed you very much."

Saying that, she seemed to think of something, lightly bit his earlobe: "Come find me tonight, okay? I've prepared a gift for you."

A gift?

Meng Li felt slightly surprised, then gently pinched the white jade rabbit he was playing with in his hand and teased: "In your current state, are you sure you can handle it tonight?"

A Zi thought for a moment and changed her offer: "Then tomorrow night, no, the night after tomorrow."

"Deal," Meng Li smiled and agreed.

Just then, the door was knocked upon.

A Zi instantly startled, then guiltily submerged herself in the water to hide.

Meng Li saw this and didn't stop her. He turned towards the door and said: "Come in."

Instantly, the door was pushed open, and A Bi walked in gracefully carrying a tray with replacement clothes.

After setting down the clothes, she looked at Meng Li's strong body exposed above the water, her pretty Face flushed slightly, and softly asked: "Young Master, shall this servant serve you?"

Meng Li smiled: "Naturally."

A Bi's blush deepened, and then she began to undress to enter the water.

As soon as she stood steady in the water, Meng Li pulled her into his embrace.

"Young Master~"

Hearing this soft, delicate call from the gentle girl, which held a hint of charm, Meng Li lowered his head and kissed her lips.

A Bi closed her eyes, letting him do as he wished, but she soon realized something was wrong.

She immediately opened her eyes and, finding an opening, glimpsed the familiar person causing trouble. She couldn't help but say crossly: "Sister A Zhu just told me she couldn't find you, so I guessed you were here. You really are getting more dissolute."

A Zi didn't reply, but turned to Meng Li: "Young Master Master, look, she still has the energy and mind to talk about me."

Meng Li understood and turned A Bi in his arms.

"Young Master~"

A Bi let out a soft cry, her clear, bright eyes misting over, becoming hazy.

A flash of cunning crossed A Zi's eyes, and she submerged herself in the water again.

...

After the bath concluded, Meng Li put on his clothes and went out, seeing A Zhu standing by the door, her Face flushed.

On the stone platform next to her were two trays, each holding a set of women's dresses.

He smiled, walked over, embraced her, and teased softly: "Why didn't you come in?"

A Zhu shot him a reproachful glance and whispered: "If no one stands guard, and it gets out, it wouldn't be proper."

Meng Li chuckled, then breathed hot air into her ear: "About last time, I convinced Yu Yan. Remember to come over tonight."

A Zhu's Face instantly turned blood red, but she still nodded.

...

That evening, under a moonless, cloudy sky.

A Zhu, filled with nervous anticipation, arrived at Meng Li and Wang Yuyan's room.

As soon as she entered, she saw Wang Yuyan standing in Meng Li's arms, whispering intimately by his ear.

Meng Li gave her a meaningful look.

Her cheeks immediately flushed, and she walked behind Wang Yuyan.

"Wuu..."

Wang Yuyan snapped back to attention. Seeing A Zhu about to say something, she was cut off by A Zhu opening her mouth to seal it.

Then, she could no longer utter a sound until Meng Li successfully achieved the 'Wonderful 'Yu' Linked with 'Zhu'' achievement.

The next morning.

Wang Yuyan recalled what happened last night and subjected Meng Li to a full session of pinching and beating.

"I knew you'd bully me."

"We agreed to this beforehand, how can it be called bullying?"

"Even if we agreed, it's still you bullying me." Wang Yuyan put her hands on her hips, her expression playfully fierce.

After saying that, she glanced at A Zhu, who was smiling silently beside her, and added: "And you."

Seeing her like this, Meng Li smiled and said: "Indeed, Madam's indignation is justified."

Hearing him say that, Wang Yuyan immediately put on a stern Face and declared: "I punish you for ten days, three days, no, two days. I punish you by forbidding you from entering the room today and tomorrow."

"Pfft," A Zhu let out a laugh.

Wang Yuyan's Face flushed.

She knew her punishment was rather childish, but if she punished him too severely, she couldn't bear it.

However, she couldn't lose Face.

Therefore, she immediately glared fiercely at A Zhu: "What are you laughing at? You are also forbidden from letting him enter the room these two days."

"Yes."

A Zhu suppressed her smile, lowered her gaze, and forced down the corners of her mouth as she replied.

Wang Yuyan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Meng Li and said: "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and get out!"

"As you command."

...

That evening, Wang Yuyan truly did not let Meng Li enter the room, and all his attempts to 'plead his case' were useless.

Meng Li had no choice but to move to another courtyard.

Adhering to the principle of sharing the bounty equally, he visited Mu Wanqing's Ink Plum Garden, as well as Mei Jian and Zhu Jian's Cold-Resistant Elegant Courtyard.

Accidentally, the 'Three Friends of Winter' achievement was unlocked.

The result was that Mu Wanqing became embarrassed and angry, pulling Mei Jian and Zhu Jian to close their doors to visitors.

The next night.

Meng Li accepted A Zi's second invitation and arrived at Listening Fragrance Pavilion.

When he saw the gift A Zi spoke of, Meng Li was stunned...

After receiving the gift, he stroked A Zi's head and asked softly: "Do you hate her that much?"

"No.", A Zi denied, then smiled: "At first, I did hate her, but after getting to know her deeply, I don't hate her anymore."

"Then you..."

"I just wanted to share with you."

"Look, she likes it so much; she won't let go of you."

"Young Master Master, do you like her?"

"Does A Zhu know about this?" Meng Li asked instead of answering.

"You guess."

Meng Li: "..."
