Chapter 39 This fox is too clever, it called out "sister-in-law" while biting a bell!
The underfloor heating was blazing inside, making everyone feel irritable from the heat.
Qin Yue spread the huge, patterned white-browed tiger skin on the ground.
"Whoosh—"
The tiger skin stretched out and took up half the room.
The glossy fur gleamed with a wild sheen in the candlelight, looking warm and inviting, but also... enough to make one's legs go weak.
"Sister-in-law, would you like to try it?"
Qin Yue sat cross-legged at the tiger-skinned end, his captivating peach blossom eyes slightly upturned. He wasn't holding a fan; instead, he slowly and methodically unbuttoned the first button of his collar.
His movements were elegant, yet they exuded a lewd, lewd air.
Su Wan looked at the tiger skin, then at the fourth brother with a longing look in his eyes, and then, as if possessed, took off her shoes.
Snow feet.
Golden bell.
Tiger skin.
The moment she stepped on it barefoot.
The soles of my feet sank into the soft, thick down, and the slightly itchy yet extremely warm sensation traveled straight up my nerve endings to the top of my head.
"Ding-dong—"
The golden bell on her ankle jingled as she moved.
That sound was like a starting gun.
"Got you?"
Qin Yue chuckled softly.
He suddenly reached out and accurately grasped Su Wan's ankle, which was adorned with a bell.
My palms were burning hot, and my fingertips, calloused from years of using an abacus, gently caressed my delicate skin.
"ah!"
Su Wan lost her balance and fell forward with a scream.
The expected pain did not come.
She fell into a wide embrace, filled with the scent of expensive incense.
Beneath him was soft tiger skin, and on his body was... this male fox spirit who had become a demon.
"Sister-in-law, this bell rings so beautifully."
Qin Yue took the opportunity to flip over and pin Su Wan to the center of the tiger skin.
He rested one hand on Su Wan's ear, while his other hand was still playing with the golden bell.
With a flick of the fingertip.
"bite--"
The crisp sound in the quiet night was so ambiguous that it made one blush and their heart race.
"Fourth brother...get out of the way!"
Su Wan felt dizzy from the strong masculine hormones emanating from him.
That pose is too dangerous!
She was completely enveloped in tiger fur, her clothes somewhat disheveled, while Qin Yue's captivating eyes were brazenly scanning her body, as if he were examining a rare treasure about to be unearthed.
"I won't get up."
Qin Yue lowered his head, his nose brushing against Su Wan's, his voice hoarse as if sandpaper had been rubbed against it:
"That idiot third brother even got to kiss you... Sister-in-law, you can't be biased, can you?"
"I brought this tiger skin, and I earned the money... Sister-in-law, I want a reward too."
"What...what do you want?" Su Wan's heart pounded like a drum, thump! thump! thump!
Qin Yue's Adam's apple bobbed violently.
Since he's already been kissed by someone else... he'll just go somewhere else.
"I want to be... a hunter."
Qin Yue's lips curled into a wicked smile.
He suddenly lowered his head, not targeting his lips, but—
The golden bell on Su Wan's ankle!
"Hmm!"
Qin Yue lay down beside her feet like some kind of large feline.
"Ding-dong... Ding-dong..."
That is……
"My sister-in-law smells wonderful all over."
He climbed up, supporting himself above Su Wan again, his eyes so deep they seemed to draw her in:
"Sister-in-law...is this tiger skin soft?"
"From now on... let's 'reconcile accounts' here, okay?"
Reconciliation?
This is clearly directed at people!
Looking into his peach blossom eyes, which were moist with emotion, Su Wan felt the words of refusal stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say them no matter what.
This man... he's amazing!
This isn't a fox; it's a succubus!
[Beep! Strong "hedonistic" attraction detected!]
[Target: Qin Yue (Fourth Brother). Status: Extreme tug-of-war on the tiger's skin + possessiveness born of jealousy!]
[Heart rate skyrockets: 160...180...190!]
[Congratulations, host! Your Heartbeat Farm has received "luxurious" irrigation!]
[The Orchard has mutated! Rewards received:]
1. Premium peach tree x1 (juicy, bursting with juice when squeezed, those who know, know).
2. Silk nightgown pattern x1 (for better flavor when served with tiger skin).
Just as Qin Yue was preparing to take the next step (such as actually kissing him),
"Bang--!"
The door to the master bedroom was kicked open very roughly.
"Fourth brother! You shameless bastard!"
Qin Lie stood at the door with a dark face, followed by his equally dark-faced second brother and the twins holding crossbows.
"It took half an hour to deliver a tiger skin?! Did you re-weave the tiger skin?!"
Qin Yue paused.
He sighed regretfully, got off Su Wan, and slowly straightened his clothes.
He showed no embarrassment whatsoever at being caught in the act; instead, he shook his (actually broken) folding fan and smiled at his brothers at the door.
"What's the rush, brother?"
"I was just helping my sister-in-law...check if this tiger skin is shedding its fur, wasn't I?"
"roll!!!"
The six men spoke in unison.
……
That night, the Qin family men's "meat-eating" plan was once again forced to stop.
But this tiger skin became Su Wan's new favorite.
It feels so warm when you walk barefoot on it in winter!
In the days that followed, the Qin family entered a period of rapid development.
With money and soldiers, there were no more bandits.
Under the leadership of the Qin family, the entire Langya Village began preparations for the harsh winter.
However, God is not good.
This winter is colder than usual.
The heavy snow fell for three days and three nights and hasn't stopped yet.
The temperature plummeted to the point where water would freeze instantly, and even with the heating on indoors, going outside was a major problem.
Ordinary cotton-padded coats are no match for the fierce winds of the Northwest; they're easily penetrated.
"Achoo—!"
At the breakfast table, Qin An, the seventh brother, wrapped in a thick fox fur coat, still sneezed loudly.
Her little face was frozen white, and it was heartbreaking to see.
"It's too cold."
Su Wan put down her chopsticks, looked at the still-falling snow outside the window, and frowned.
The guards still have to patrol, and the brothers still have to practice martial arts. If this continues, they'll definitely freeze to death.
She glanced at the system panel.
In the ranch, the hundreds of white geese that were originally used for laying eggs have grown fat and plump, with feathers as full as snowballs, because they have been fed so well recently (by the spiritual spring in the space).
down jacket!
Su Wan's eyes lit up.
This is a lifesaver for keeping warm! It's ten times warmer than cotton!
"I've got it!"
Su Wan slammed her hand on the table and stood up excitedly:
"Let's make new clothes! Out of goose feathers!"
"Goose feathers?"
Qin Meng, the third son who was munching on a steamed bun, looked up, completely bewildered: "Sister-in-law, isn't that thing for starting a fire? It smells so fishy, how are we supposed to wear it?"
"I have a brilliant plan!"
Su Wan smiled mysteriously.
The space has a processing workshop for "degreasing and deodorizing". As long as the goose feathers are processed properly, they will be top-quality down!
"Let's go! To the backyard!"
"Today, the whole family is mobilized—to pluck the feathers!"
……
Half an hour later.
A "human-goose battle" unfolded in the Qin family's backyard.
"Gagaga—!"
Hundreds of white geese were running wildly in the snow, flapping their wings and crying out in a mournful voice.
And behind them.
The seven men of the Qin family, each possessing unique skills, were using nets and ropes to catch geese all over the yard.
"Fifth Brother! Stop that lead goose! It's going to fly up the wall!"
"Third brother! Be gentle! Don't break the goose's neck! We're after its feathers, not its life!"
"Second brother! Don't use your light-foot technique to catch the goose! That's too unfair to the goose!"
The scene was extremely chaotic, with chickens flying, dogs barking, and goose feathers flying everywhere.
Su Wan stood under the corridor, watching these usually imposing men now outwitting and outmaneuvering a goose over a few feathers, and laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight.
Especially the fourth brother, Qin Yue.
This tycoon, who usually loves to be clean and always looks elegant, now has two goose feathers on his hair, his brocade robe is covered in white fluff, and he looks utterly dejected.
"Sister-in-law..."
Qin Yue gripped the wing of a large goose, his peach-blossom eyes filled with accusation:
"This goose...it pecked my butt!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Su Wan laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Finally, all the geese were "subdued".
Everyone sat around the stove and began the most crucial step—plucking the down.
This work is meticulous.
Qin Lie's large hands, accustomed to wielding a killing knife, pinched the fine hairs, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
"This is harder than chopping someone up," he muttered.
"Big brother, be patient."
Su Wan leaned closer, stretched out her finger, and helped him remove a fine hair stuck to his eyelashes.
They were extremely close, their breaths mingling.
Qin Lie's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the goose he was holding.
Looking at Su Wan, who was so close to him, and at her smiling eyes, his agitation instantly vanished.
Instead, a warm current of heat filled the air.
"Jiaojiao".
Qin Lie suddenly grabbed her hand, buried his face in her palm and rubbed it against her skin, his voice low and deep:
"Once the clothes are finished... I'll give you the first one to wear."
"I'm not afraid of the cold. I have you."
The surrounding brothers: "..."
