Chapter 192: I Want It!

Shui Miao instinctively realized that at this moment, before escaping from the surveillance of Madame Bai, it was absolutely impossible—and unwise—to uncover the truth. It was hard to say whether Madame Bai was lurking nearby; if she truly had ulterior motives, and Shui Miao discovered the truth, the consequences would surely be perilous.

To protect himself, why not continue pretending to be foolish and wait for the right moment to act?

At this point, Shui Miao trusted no one—only his own instincts.

Thus, he pulled up his pants and silently emerged from the bushes, trying to clear his mind and walk calmly, appearing more like a quiet, simple-minded fool.

Upon returning, Shui Miao was taken by the young bride to the newlywed room on the second floor where Zhang Ling and the bride lived. Since the bride had many chores to do and had to care for the elders, she had no choice but to lock Shui Miao in the room.

Being treated like a fool truly felt unpleasant.

Shui Miao glanced around the room, looking at the quilt on the large bed. This was where Zhang Ling and his bride slept. Now, as an outsider, he was expected to sleep with another man’s wife—how awkward and inappropriate. Deep down, Shui Miao had no desire to do anything so indecent. Yet, he couldn’t help but worry that Madame Bai might be watching nearby. If she sensed his true feelings, would she come up with something even more unexpected to deal with him? As these thoughts swirled in his mind, he began to wonder: initially, he and Madame Bai didn’t even know each other—why would she help him? Back at the pill shop, the jade pendant given to him by Ling Shuai should have worked, but why did Madame Bai suddenly show up and claim she wanted to help him? Why would she suddenly be so kind?

Putting himself in Madame Bai’s shoes, Shui Miao suddenly thought of faith and devotion.

He intended to build many Taoist temples and shrines, and Madame Bai, who had many disciples, would certainly desire the powerful faith and devotion generated by such places, along with the countless incense offerings. By placing him here, she likely hoped he would indulge in sensual pleasures.

From the very beginning, when he saw so many naked women, it must have been her deliberate arrangement.

If he didn’t pretend to indulge, if he didn’t follow her expectations, she would never lower her guard.

Yet, indulging would hurt the young bride and others.

Shui Miao found himself in a dilemma. If he acted recklessly, if he impregnated the bride again and she bore him another son, the emotional entanglements and attachments would trap him forever. That absolutely could not happen. But could he at least pretend to be lewd?

※※※

After some contemplation, Shui Miao suddenly thought of a compromise.

He decided to mentally cast himself as a lecherous fool.

A lecherous fool naturally did lecherous things.

Locked in this room, what lecherous deeds could he do?

He opened the wardrobe door and pulled out the bride’s undergarments…

As night fell, the bride finished her chores, helped the elders to sleep, then took a bath and brought steamed sticky rice, salted meat, and sour fish soup upstairs. She opened the door, turned on the lights, and discovered Shui Miao missing. She quickly checked the windows—each fitted with burglar bars—then looked under the bed and finally found him in the wardrobe, wearing her undergarments and sleeping.

Seeing this, the bride was both angry and amused. She woke Shui Miao up. He sniffed the air, caught the delicious aroma, and immediately crawled out of the wardrobe to grab the food, stuffing it into his mouth like a famished ghost.

After going so long without food, a single meal tasted incredibly delicious.

“Oh! No one’s going to fight you for it. Slow down, don’t choke,” the bride said, pouring him some soup.

But as he ate, something felt off. The food was delicious, but it made his head spin, as if he’d drunk too much alcohol.

Shui Miao stopped, even spitting some of the food out, but his head still felt dizzy.

Had the bride drugged the food?

He quickly looked up at her and saw her blushing furiously. She shyly turned away, closed the door, drew the curtains, and approached him, embarrassed.

“Tonight… my mother-in-law gave me some medicine to mix into your food. Once we’ve eaten, we… we take off all our clothes, get into bed, and then we can have a baby…”

After speaking, she bit her lip and began removing her clothes.

So it was an aphrodisiac!

Shui Miao never expected to be drugged with an aphrodisiac. No wonder he felt so lightheaded.

Seeing the bride undressing, Shui Miao immediately wondered if this was another test orchestrated by Madame Bai. If he slept with the bride, would they finally lower their guard?

In this situation, Shui Miao seemed to have no other choice.

He quickly stripped off his clothes and dove under the covers, leering at the bride in a deliberately lecherous way…

Now it was the bride’s turn to feel shy. Her face turned even redder as she hurriedly turned off the bedside lamp.

But Shui Miao turned it back on.

If he was going to act lecherous, he had to put on a show. If Madame Bai was watching secretly, let her suffer from desire too!

Shui Miao suddenly realized he had become wickedly twisted, even fantasizing about a thousand-year-old female ghost!

The bride bit her lip, then, wearing only a waistcoat, slipped under the covers and tightly embraced the naked Shui Miao. Feeling her smooth, warm body and smelling her unique maidenly fragrance, Shui Miao felt himself shamefully harden. At this point, he decided not to think anymore, turned over, and kissed her. He had resolved in his heart: he could hug and kiss, but he absolutely would not cross that final line.

Luckily, the bride knew nothing, and after half the night of kissing, she happily fell asleep in his arms.

But Shui Miao couldn’t sleep at all. Trapped under the covers with a naked beauty clinging to him and forbidden to cross the line—it was pure torment!

In the later hours of the night, Shui Miao finally managed to fall asleep.

Then, suddenly, a woman in white appeared in the room. She floated slowly to the bride’s side and blew gently on her. The bride’s eyes suddenly opened, and she turned to look at Shui Miao…

In his sleep, Shui Miao felt a pair of gentle hands wandering over his body, slowly moving downward…

“Uh!”

He suddenly felt a tightness in his lower body, startled awake. He opened his eyes and saw the bride blushing as she shyly asked, “What is this?”

Shui Miao couldn’t take it anymore, unsure whether she was truly foolish or only pretending.

She seemed to have forgotten her own act of being a fool.

“It’s… it’s a little chicken…”

In the voice of a fool, Shui Miao muttered the words, pushed her hand away, quickly pulled on his underwear, threw on a shirt, got up, and rushed to the toilet.

If he stayed under the covers any longer, something would definitely happen!

But the bride wasn’t done. She threw her waistcoat to the floor, stepped barefoot out of bed, and approached Shui Miao from behind, wrapping her arms around him and murmuring seductively, “I want it…”
