The sweet flower bud was right before his eyes.
Although Liu Xue'e was a married woman, her husband was a forest ranger who spent far more time on the mountain than he did with her.
Besides, her husband had burned to death less than a year after they married. Liu Xue'e's experience wasn't necessarily much greater than Chen Erbao's.
You could tell just from the color of the petals.
Pink and tender, they grew wet with a single touch.
The soil hadn't been tilled for over a decade, and it carried a scent that could steal a man's soul.
Chen Erbao gazed at the little bud, so close he could touch it. Before he could even give the command, his tongue had already pushed past his teeth and touched the tiny flower.
"Oh..."
Even when her husband was alive, Liu Xue'e had never tasted anything like this. In that single moment, she couldn't take it anymore.
"Er Bao, I..."
This wasn't the first time Chen Erbao had seen such a sight, and he reacted instantly. He shot to his feet with a WHOOSH.
"Aunt Xue E, I just finished examining your body."
"Huh?"
Liu Xue'e was completely stunned.
'This silly nephew... he didn't actually just give me a physical examination, did he?'
'I was obviously trying to seduce him.'
'I was bent over like that, my legs spread like a crab. Who gets into such a shameful position just for a check-up?'
And yet, that's exactly what Chen Erbao said.
Chen Erbao's innocence made Liu Xue'e's face turn deathly red. She was so ashamed she wished the ground would swallow her whole.
'It makes sense, I guess. Er Bao is a university graduate, handsome and capable. Why would he be interested in a past-her-prime woman like me?'
At this thought, Liu Xue'e's face was so red it looked like it might start bleeding.
Beneath her arched, slender waist, the flower petals were caught, unsure whether to open or close.
Just as Liu Xue'e was wrestling with her thoughts, she suddenly felt a searing heat wash over her.
Her expression changed.
Chen Erbao's hands were already gripping Liu Xue'e's wasp-like waist.
"Aunt Xue E, I've discovered that your body is like a field suffering from a long drought."
"It's lacking the nourishment of rain and dew. That little bit of moisture is the last thing you have."
"So..."
"To cure your illness and save you, I have no choice but to find something to plug the gap for you."
Liu Xue'e burst out laughing with a "Pfft." "You little devil, you scared me to death."
"Well then, hurry up and plug it for your auntie!"
Chen Erbao immediately agreed.
A tiger's roar shook the mountain forest, and a unique battle commenced in the dense woods.
The two went back and forth, unleashing a flurry of moves.
Tongue Lash, Grasp of the Undying, Quickdraw, Wild Growth, Lethal Tempo, Phase Rush, Dragon Strike, Warlord's Rhythm, Grandmaster's Might, The Culling, Assured Strike, Charged Strike, Final Hour, Ranger's Focus, Energy Cascade, Curtain Call, Wither, Presence of Mind, Revitalize, Hijack...
「One hour later.」
Liu Xue'e's thighs were wrapped around Chen Erbao's powerful waist like snakes, her white teeth gently biting her red lip.
Amidst her heavy breathing, Liu Xue'e's waist suddenly contracted, and Chen Erbao was instantly disarmed and forced to surrender.
"Aunt Xue E, you're too amazing."
Liu Xue'e pouted coquettishly. "Look who's talking. You nearly skewered your auntie right through."
"I remember when you were little, it was only the size of my pinky. I can't believe it's been such a short time. Your growth rate is just astonishing."
Chen Erbao wasn't happy with just that.
"Just the growth rate is astonishing?"
Liu Xue'e laughed. "Your stamina is astonishing too."
Chen Erbao was finally satisfied. He then looked at Liu Xue'e.
"Aunt Xue E, I actually know what you were trying to do."
"You did all this because you wanted me to help you secure your welfare benefits, right?"
Liu Xue'e froze, then her face flushed red.
Actually, she wanted to say that was indeed her initial intention. After all, that bastard Chen Daniu was completely unreliable, and nothing had really happened between them. If that bastard went back on his word, she'd have nowhere to turn.
She had stopped Chen Erbao precisely because she wanted his help.
But things were different now.
Who could have expected Chen Erbao to be so vigorous? Forget her, even the leaves on the ground had been torn to shreds.
'If it were every day... no, even just once a week...'
Although that's what she was thinking, Liu Xue'e was too embarrassed to say it out loud. She just looked at Chen Erbao with a complicated expression.
"Er Bao, if it's too much trouble for you..."
Chen Erbao waved his hand dismissively. "What's there to be troubled about?"
"It's just a matter of saying a few words. Don't worry, Auntie, leave it to me."
"Really!"
Liu Xue'e was overjoyed and subconsciously pressed her legs together.
Even though she was in her thirties, her body was still supple and dewy, and her entrance was very narrow. When she squeezed her legs together like that, Chen Erbao found it a little hard to bear.
"Auntie, easy now. I was already feeling it again and have been holding it back. If you squeeze any harder, I'm afraid..."
Liu Xue'e's eyes lit up instantly.
"Er Bao, didn't you just..."
She licked her lips and then smiled. "It's okay. If you want to, don't hold back."
"When your uncle died, I came down with a strange illness. The doctor said a man's seed could help me regain my vitality."
Chen Erbao was instantly excited.
Among the Secret Techniques passed down to him by Liuyun, there were of course rare medical arts. In those rare texts, he had read about Liu Xue'e's exact condition.
In one of those texts, the disease was called 'Solitary Void Syndrome.' It was caused by excessive grief, which created an imbalance of yin and yang energy in the body. The yin energy became overpowering while the yang energy weakened, making it impossible to conceive.
And the treatment was simple: a single shot straight to the soul.
Chen Erbao's breathing began to quicken.
He instinctively checked Liu Xue'e's pulse and found that this was indeed the case.
"Auntie, in that case, I'm really going to have to treat your illness."
Liu Xue'e squeezed her thighs tighter.
"Use some force."
From the woods, the sound of applause echoed once more.
...
By the time he parted ways with Liu Xue'e, the sun had set, and Chen Erbao's face was a little pale.
They say a woman in her thirties is a wolf, in her forties a tiger, and at fifty can sit on the ground and suck up the dirt.
That saying was no joke.
Chen Erbao remembered clearly that when he was with Qiu Shuzhen, she was the one who ended up begging for mercy. But with Liu Xue'e, Chen Erbao himself had almost been the one begging.
Fortunately, his body was durable, but he was still feeling a little drained.
He was actually doing fine; Liu Xue'e had it worse. She was limping as they came down the mountain. If Chen Erbao hadn't secretly transferred some Spiritual Power to her, she probably wouldn't have been able to make it down at all.
Shaking off his thoughts, Chen Erbao didn't dare waste any more time and hurried home.
Just as he reached his front door, he saw Fang Yun pacing back and forth restlessly in the yard.
Chen Erbao was instantly amused.
"Sister-in-law, I'm back."
Seeing Chen Erbao, Fang Yun finally let out a sigh of relief, but then her expression hardened. She strode forward and grabbed Chen Erbao by the ear.
"You rotten kid! You come back this late? Do you have any idea how worried I was!"
