The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Once released, Yin Baicai looked at the scenery before her and stopped worrying about Li Zhe carrying her.

A clear pool of water is right in front of you, with the branches of the surrounding trees drooping into it and flowing slowly with the water.

The outlet was blocked by two large rocks, leaving only a small gap for water to flow out.

In the crystal-clear pool, fish of varying sizes could be seen frolicking leisurely.

Yin Baicai asked in surprise, "Li Eba, is this really Wutong Mountain? How come I've never heard of such a place before?"

"Yes, it's deep in the mountains. Most villagers don't dare to come here, and not many people know about it. I didn't say anything when I saw the fish were small a while ago, but they've grown a lot now."

Yin Baicai took off her shoes, bent down, rolled up her trouser legs, and couldn't wait to walk into the water.

"Li, you bully, come down here and surround the fish for me. I'm going to catch this big one."

Looking at the spirited Yin Baicai, Li Zhe smiled slightly and thought, "I knew Brother Cai would like this place."

Soon, as Yin Baicai instructed, he stood in front and surrounded the fish for him. Yin Baicai carefully herded the fish toward Li Zhe.

With quick eyes and hands, Li Zhe scooped up the fish with a single swipe of his hand.

"Well done, we only need to catch one more. We can catch the smaller ones when they're older."

Li Zhe picked two supple weeds by the pool and threw the fish he had caught into the haystack on the bank.

Yin Baicai quickly set her sights on another target, shooing the second fish she had her eye on toward Li Zhe.

After catching the fish, Yin Baicai plopped down on the bank, put her feet in the water, and started shaking them.

"This place is really nice, Li the bully. It's quiet, there are trees to block the sun, and the water feels cool and refreshing on your feet."

Li Zhe stared at the feet dangling in front of him, his eyes dark.

This guy's feet are too fair and clean; they look much smaller than mine!

Yin Baicai lay down and looked up at the sky.

In the azure sky, several identical clouds drifted slowly.

The sunlight shone brightly on the pond, and all was quiet.

Li Zhe strode over and sat down next to Yin Baicai, his indifferent eyes turning to look at the person lying beside him.

I feel calmer than ever before.

It was a rare moment for the two of them to be alone, and Li Zhe wished that time could last a little longer.

A handsome and skilled young nobleman recently joined the Yong Sheng Casino.

Every day, young men and women would secretly stand outside and watch, and the surrounding restaurants and eateries were always packed.

More and more gamblers came to the gambling den, all wanting to see the handsome young man with superb gambling skills that the townspeople were talking about.

Shen Jin has been here for several days and hasn't seen the pretty boy that Shen Li and the others were talking about. He idly played a few rounds and won a lot of money.

Zhou Xiaosan and the others were resentful after losing a lot of money to Shen Jin, and they noticed how respectful Shen Li was to this pretty boy.

This pretty boy must have a lot to do with the people behind the gambling den.

All that money went into gambling dens.

Zhou Xiaosan now desperately hopes that the little god of wealth he has met twice will come and compete with this pretty boy.

I hope I can help them win back the money they lost these past two days.

Zhou Xiaosan wasn't the only one with this idea; Lai Mazi did too.

He had just lost all his money to Shen Jin that day, and seeing Zhou Xiaosan looking gloomy, he came over to fawn over him.

"Hey, mistress, stop hiding it! Quickly call that new pretty boy you know... God of Wealth, over here! This new guy at the gambling den has won me a lot of money!"

Zhou Xiaosan said with annoyance, "Do you think I don't want to call him? But I don't even know his name, and I've only met him twice."

"You know what, I'm also curious to see who's more powerful, the Little God of Wealth or this pretty boy!"

Seeing that it was almost noon and she had had enough fun, Shen Jin felt a bit hungry. She called out to Shen Li, "Find someone to cover for me here. I'm going to Hongxi Restaurant for lunch."

Shen Li respectfully saw Shen Jin out.

Shen Jin felt that coming to Qingshui Town to relax was the right decision; the food at Hongxi Restaurant was just what he wanted.

It wouldn't be bad if he could meet that "pretty boy" they were talking about and have some fun with him.

Shen Jin walked out of Yong Sheng Casino with a smile on her face, holding an ink fan in her hand.

The young men and women who were secretly watching from the restaurant entrance followed behind with shy expressions.

Some bolder women deliberately left handkerchiefs or other items on the path Shen Jin walked, hoping that when he picked them up and returned them, they could naturally strike up a conversation with him.

Shen Jin chuckled inwardly, completely ignoring the handkerchief that had fallen to the ground.

He had encountered many of these tricks in the prefectural city, but that was all in the past, ever since his father's stepmother spread his identity.

That will happen much less often.

That's right, Shen Jin is also a male, but he is tall and usually likes to dress as a man. If he covers up the birthmark on his wrist, others won't be able to tell.

Wang Yao, who deliberately dropped her handkerchief, pinched the arm of the maid beside her hard. "Didn't you say that if I did this, that young master would talk to me? How could this happen, you idiot?"

Xiaohe winced in pain and dared not make a sound. "Miss... I found out that young master has been dining at Hongxi Restaurant recently. Let's go there and wait for him."

Wang Yao frowned. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go! If you're late and don't see the young master, you'll be in big trouble when you get back!"

Wang Yao walked ahead in a hurry, unaware of the malice in Xiao He's eyes as she followed behind.

Xiaohe covered her hand, which had been pinched painfully, and looked at Wang Yao walking ahead with a gloomy gaze.

You wicked woman, you think you can win the favor of that handsome young man? You're dreaming.

She's just a merchant's daughter. What's so great about her? She's always ordering me around, and if things don't go her way, she either beats or scolds me.

She acts all gentle and charming on the surface, but she's ruthless at heart! No wonder so many girls in town don't want to hang out with you, serves you right.

As soon as Shen Jin approached Hongxi Tower, he felt scrutiny from many directions. He knew it must be the group of people guarding the entrance of the gambling den.

He said to Xiao Si, "I want to go to the private room upstairs."

Xiao Si happily led the way for Shen Jin: "Young master, please go upstairs."

The girls and boys from the town who had arrived early knew immediately upon hearing this that they would not be able to strike up a conversation with this young master.

I'm so glad I came early and got a good spot; now I can't even see anyone else.

At least we could take a closer look when we were in the casino, but now that everyone's on the second floor, how are we supposed to look anymore?

Recently, Manager Zhang's smile has been constant. Ever since this handsome young man started dining here, his restaurant has seen a surge in young men and women following him around, making business even more booming.

These people, who originally came to pursue Shen Jin, fell in love with the food at Hongxilou Restaurant after just one bite.

They'd always heard that Hongxilou had delicious food, but they still preferred to eat at Fumanlou across the street.

After all, Fu Man Lou looks much more upscale than Hong happy Lou.

Some people even arrive early, before mealtime, afraid of not being able to get a seat.

Manager Zhang even made a point of reserving a waiting area for customers who couldn't find a seat.

Wang Yao rushed over and saw the restaurant packed to capacity. She clenched her teeth tightly. How could there be so many people?!

He instructed Xiaohe, "Go quickly and find out which young master is in which private room. I want to reserve the room next to his."

Xiaohe honestly walked up to Manager Wang and asked him a few questions.

Xiaohe quickly returned and told Wang Yao that there were no seats available and they would have to wait a little longer.

Wang Yao stomped her feet in anger.

I can't even strike up a conversation with that young master today, it's infuriating!
