Chapter 305: Chapter 245: I Help My Beloved Wife Shine in Ganshan City (4)

Fifteen Fifth-Grades versus thirteen from the White Tiger Tribe.

And this was on their own turf, with the City Lord about to arrive, yet they didn’t dare to make a move.

So unwilling to take a risk.

If the Black Water Gang and the White Tiger Tribe were to enter a deep collaboration, the Huang Family naturally wouldn’t dare to cause trouble.

The more Shui Yun thought about it, the more tempted she became. It was a chance to kill two, or even three, birds with one stone.

’Why not do it?’

All she had to do was bind her junior brother to her, while also encouraging him to develop a relationship with the White Tiger Saintess.

Shui Yun brought him back to her personal courtyard.

It was Tang Wen’s first time visiting. He passed through a triple gatehouse, went around a spirit screen carved with two phoenixes, and crossed a second courtyard where the female guards lived. Before the main house stood rugged rockeries, with plum blossoms in full bloom.

Below the rockeries, a hot spring steamed, and several golden koi swam about cheerfully.

"Your home is very elegant."

"What?" Shui Yun was suddenly displeased.

"I said, your home has a wonderful atmosphere."

"It’s *our* home! *Our* home!" Shui Yun grabbed him by the collar, saying fiercely.

"So, does this mean we’re secretly engaged?"

"Hmph!"

Treating him as a husband, Shui Yun linked her arm through his. Under the maids’ gazes—a mixture of surprise, curiosity, and admiration—she led him into her private chambers.

The orchid-and-musk-like fragrance and the dim lighting instantly set the mood.

Tang Wen lowered his head, drew close to her warm, pale neck, and took a deep breath.

His breath tickled her skin, but Shui Yun didn’t pull away. Instead, she called out, "Serve breakfast. And prepare the hot spring bath."

’First the meal, then the woman.’

Tang Wen was completely satisfied.

There was a rich meat porridge, exquisite and delicious pastries, and perfectly balanced sweet-and-sour side dishes.

The two of them sat at the dining table, which shook continuously.

Underneath, their legs were constantly fighting.

One moment they were tangled together, the next they were clamped tight.

After breakfast, a maid served a palate-cleansing tea with a floral fragrance.

A plain-looking housekeeper entered and said, "Miss, the bath is ready."

Tang Wen’s eyes lit up. Shui Yun, her cheeks slightly flushed, introduced him without a trace of shyness. "Good. This is Young Master Tang Wen, my future husband. Take his measurements and have a few sets of clothes made for him."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then her smile deepened. "What good fortune you have, Miss. I have long heard of Young Master Tang Wen’s excellent reputation. Seeing him today, he is truly as refined as jade. Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch the tailor."

There was one thing she didn’t say: it was too late to have clothes made today.

Unless, of course, Young Master Tang stayed for a couple of days.

Tang Wen put down his teacup. ’Why did that sound so strange?’

’Shui Yun is as beautiful as a flower, with a captivating figure, yet she’s encouraging me to find other women.’

’No matter how you look at it, I’m the lucky one here.’

The two drank their tea and waited quietly.

As they waited, they ended up cuddling together.

Somehow, Shui Yun ended up on Tang Wen’s lap.

When waiting for someone in this position, time flew by.

But it wasn’t the tailor who arrived; it was Aunt Lian.

"You two!"

"Huh?"

Their heads pulled apart, a glistening thread hanging in the air between them.

Shui Yun hurriedly took a sip of tea.

"Who told you two to come home? The eight great powers are out there, fighting for the White Tiger Tribe’s favor! They’re about to come to blows, and you two? You’re hiding in here, making out!"

Tang Wen and Shui Yun’s minds went blank.

’Making out?’

’Aunt Lian really doesn’t mince words.’

Even Shui Yun couldn’t stand the teasing. She buried her head in Tang Wen’s shoulder like an ostrich.

Aunt Lian wasn’t about to let them off the hook.

"Hmph! It’s a good thing it was me who found you. Otherwise, by tomorrow—no, by *tonight*—the entire city would know! That while a crisis unfolds in Ganshan City, the Young Master and Young Miss of the Black Water Gang, far from being concerned, are actually hiding away and making out!"

Her constant repetition of "making out" made them so embarrassed they couldn’t lift their heads.

Fortunately, she had urgent news and got to the point. "Quick, come with me. A decision has been made over there."

Shui Yun slid off Tang Wen’s lap.

Aunt Lian spoke rapidly. "Aside from the Huang Family, who are too ashamed to even try, every other power wants to curry favor with the White Tiger Race. They all want to open a dialogue, to become their representatives in Ganshan City, or even their allies.

"So, that White Tiger Saintess went and proposed a competition against the young masters and heirs of the various powers.

"She’ll cooperate with whichever family demonstrates superior skill."
