Chapter 140: Chapter 126: The Second Tenant (4K Merge)
Su Lin hurriedly made his way home, carrying the hefty Treasure Meat wrapped in red cloth, his heart racing with excitement.
As soon as he stepped over the bluestone threshold of the courtyard gate, a burst of clear laughter came from inside the house.
He paused briefly, his eyes flashing with alertness.
“Song Yiyi? Is Song Yiren here too?”
Today was the day the tour group was departing, and with both sisters appearing, Song Yiren must finally be ready to reveal her cards.
“Well, let’s see what you’ve got up your sleeve.”
Su Lin quickened his pace across the courtyard and pushed open the door, the scene before him causing him to pause slightly.
On the sofa, three stunningly beautiful girls with distinct temperaments were in a fit of laughter—mainly because Song Yiyi had pinned Su Tongxi down, giggling as she tickled her.
Su Lin deliberately put on a stern face and raised his voice slightly:
“Dare to bully my woman in my own house?”
“Ah?!” Song Yiyi was startled by him, jumping back like a frightened rabbit and sitting upright.
Su Tongxi blinked, surprised that the fearless Sister Yiyi was actually so afraid of Brother Kirin.
Her mind quick, she flashed a sweet smile, got up to greet Su Lin, and naturally took the heavy bundle off his back:
“Brother Kirin, you’re back.”
“Hmm.”
Su Lin handed the red-clothed package containing the Treasure Meat to her, his gaze already locked onto Song Yiren sitting opposite him.
The girl, graceful as a lady from a noble family, seemed to catch the unique scent of the Treasure Meat in the air with her delicate nose. She met his gaze, a faint, enigmatic smile playing at the corners of her lips.
“Is Young Master Lin wondering why a humble girl like me is here?” Song Yiren spoke up, her voice gentle and melodic.
“Indeed,” Su Lin admitted honestly, walking straight to the sofa and sitting down opposite Song Yiren with a scrutinizing gaze.
Song Yiren smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling:
“As it happens, every time Young Master Lin goes out hunting recently, Tongxi always invites my sister and me over for company. Now, our sisters are quite close with Sister Tongxi~”
“Oh?” Su Lin raised an eyebrow.
“Of course~” Song Yiren’s smile remained unchanged.
Su Lin got straight to the point:
“And today? The tour group has set off, right?”
“Today…” Song Yiren elongated the last word, her eyelashes slightly lowered, but then she raised them again, a hint of subtle melancholy in her eyes, “Does Young Master Lin guard against a humble girl like me this much?”
“Guard?”
Su Lin suddenly relaxed, leaning back and crossing his legs, adopting a cavalier demeanor, grinning:
“I wouldn’t say that. With beauty before me, of course, I’m tempted. But with pies falling from the sky one after another, I need to get a sense of what you’re after with the Su Family, right?”
Beside him, Song Yiyi’s face flushed red at his words, her eyes avoiding his, suddenly not daring to look at him.
But Song Yiren remained composed, showing no hint of embarrassment, only faintly responding:
“Young Master Lin, isn’t having pies fall from the sky a good thing?”
By now, Su Tongxi had obediently returned to sit beside Su Lin.
Su Lin naturally drew her into his embrace, his tone flat but clear-headed:
“Pies are nice, and I love beauties too. But in this world, without being a little extra cautious, you might end up enjoying one meal and losing your life the next.”
Song Yiren lightly caressed her smooth, jade-like cheek, sighing as she spoke:
“Young Master Lin wants to have his fill of these twin sisters, as beautiful as they are capable, yet hesitates and lacks the courage?”
“Exactly!” Su Lin openly admitted without hesitation, “Better safe than sorry.”
“A pity…” Song Yiren gently shook her head, her smile tinged with a hint of regret, “Now Young Master Lin must be disappointed. This sister’s body, you might never experience. Perhaps… my sister can still give you a taste?”
“Sister?!” Song Yiyi suddenly looked up, a face full of shock.
Su Lin’s brow furrowed: “What do you mean?”
Song Yiren stopped beating around the bush, flipping her wrist and taking out a strange piece of mineral from her seemingly ordinary sleeve.
The mineral was jet black, yet shimmered with metallic luster, its surface rugged and as large as a basketball.
“Hmm?!”
Su Lin’s pupils contracted, wondering how she had hidden such a large object in her sleeve?!
“Does Young Master Lin remember this Thunderstruck Magnetic Gold Iron?”
Song Yiren gently placed the iron piece on the coffee table, producing a muffled sound.
She looked up at Su Lin, her tone certain:
“If I’m not mistaken, the equipment blueprint Young Master Lin obtained from Black Scale Village is currently missing a key material, correct?”
Su Lin’s eyes sharpened.
The rare Bamboo Pole Blade blueprint he obtained from Zhang Shuo’s safe house had indeed been stalled due to the lack of critical materials.
Yet he still couldn’t fathom the true intention behind Song Yiren presenting this Thunderstruck Magnetic Gold Iron at this moment.
“Stop with the riddles,” Su Lin’s tone carried a tinge of impatience, “Just say it, what do you really want?”
Song Yiren sighed softly, pushing the heavy Thunderstruck Magnetic Gold Iron closer to Su Lin, saying:
“All I ask is for Young Master Lin to take good care of Yiyi. Consider this Thunderstruck Magnetic Gold Iron as part of the payment. The Snakehead Ground Daisy from before is also part of it. So, will Young Master Lin trust me?”
“Sister?!” Song Yiyi jumped up in shock, “Then what about you? Where will you go?”
“I have my own plans.” Song Yiren’s tone was calm.
“Are you still planning to seek revenge?!” Song Yiyi grabbed her sister’s wrist anxiously, “Sister! Don’t go! Let’s stay here together and live peacefully, isn’t that good?”
Song Yiren turned her hand to clasp her sister’s wrist, gently pulling her into her arms, her back to her.
