Chapter 604: 660, what are the benefits of being your Village Chief’s Wife?

"Beauty, with your stunning looks, how about becoming my Village Chief’s Wife?"

Mu Qingli’s face was adorned with a mischievously carefree expression, aptly teasing, and her gaze slightly blurred from the wine, but that rascal-like demeanor... was like that of a sly and playful little fox.

Shangguan Xuanyue was pinned underneath her, and though he struggled a bit at first, Mu Qingli became a bit annoyed upon seeing his resistance and quickly untied the sash from around herself, binding Shangguan Xuanyue’s hands.

"What, you think of running away? Hmph, now let’s see if you can still escape!"

There she sat on his waist, leaning forward, her soft little hand lightly patting his cheek, with an air of "You’re already this lord’s property."

Mu Qingli had initially wanted to see Shangguan Xuanyue begging for mercy, but suddenly, the man beneath her seemed to change into someone else entirely.

The face that was once innocent and pitiable suddenly wore a wicked, playful expression, and his eyes turned piercing, yet so deep...

At that moment, Shangguan Xuanyue spoke leisurely.

"Becoming your Village Chief’s Wife... What are the benefits?"

For a moment, Mu Qingli was bewildered. The words he spoke were not what she had expected, were they?

She blinked her eyes.

Benefits?

"As long as I’m here, I guarantee no one will dare to bully you!"

That benefit... should be substantial enough!

Without her protection, he would surely be tormented by others!

Shangguan Xuanyue seemed to weigh his options, and Mu Qingli became a bit irritated. Wasn’t the condition she offered generous enough? What was this guy hesitating for?

She lowered her head to meet his eyes.

"What, that benefit isn’t enough? Then tell me, what else do you want?"

Shangguan Xuanyue eyed her, his look flirtatious yet imbued with a profound allure.

"If I tell you, will you agree to everything?"

Mu Qingli solemnly nodded her head.

"Of course, a promise once made is worth more than a carriage of gold! Just say it, and I’ll agree to everything!"

Shangguan Xuanyue smiled faintly, "Then I want you to... never leave my side, to be with me through life and death. Can you do that?"

Mu Qingli was taken aback.

Never leave my side, together through life and death?

Why does it sound like a vow of love between a man and a woman?

Her eyes fell, big and blinking, somewhat confused for a moment, not quite understanding why Shangguan Xuanyue would say such a thing.

But in his obsidian-dark eyes, there seemed to be a profound longing, a yearning look that she simply couldn’t bear to reject.

Suddenly, Mu Qingli laughed.

"Alright, I agree to it!"

Instantly, she felt Shangguan Xuanyue beneath her tremble violently.

Was he actually... this nervous? Afraid that she wouldn’t agree?

Mu Qingli couldn’t help but laugh.

"Tsk, you silly fool, you really are adorable!"

Saying this, she reached out to hook his chin with her finger.

"Now that you’re already my Village Chief’s Wife, it’s time to give this king a kiss! Otherwise... shall we just go ahead and turn the raw rice into cooked rice?"

She had meant to scare him on purpose, but suddenly, Shangguan Xuanyue flipped over.

His lips curled into a light smile, "Oh, turn the raw rice into cooked rice, eh?"

Mu Qingli’s mind went blank, something about this situation... wasn’t quite right!

His face came closer and closer, and the nearer he got, the faster her heart raced, while his faint gaze and that gentle look were like magnets drawing her in.

A strange feeling sprouted in her heart, as if ivy stretched out its little tendrils, touching the softest corner of her heart.

So odd?

She meant to resist, but still... harbored a tiny bit of anticipation.

This unfamiliar emotion felt so alien, leaving her somewhat powerless...

She just stared with wide eyes as his face drew nearer, watching his lips slowly descend.
