Chapter 21: A Triumphant Return

"Zeng!"
"Xiao!"
"Fan!"
Li Bixian, flushed with embarrassment and anger, gritted her teeth and charged at Zeng Xiaofan, swinging her delicate fists down at him in a flurry.
"You dare laugh at me!"
"You little brat! It's your fault for not explaining clearly!"
"Ah!!!"
"You dare laugh at me again!"
"I’ll beat you to death!"
Smack, smack, smack...
"Ah~ Sister Xian, I won't dare anymore~"
"You're not lewd...not lewd at all..."
"You're pure, the purest in the world..."
"Your shapely hips are also the purest in the world...hahaha..."
"Get lost!" Li Bixian was even more frantic now.
"I'll kill you!"
"Yayayaya..."
"Wailing and crying, huh!"
"I'll make you wail!"
Smack, smack, smack...
"Shh!"
"Sister Xian, keep it down..."
"If we make so much noise, the villagers will hear us—it's not good..."
Zeng Xiaofan hurried to change the subject.
Li Bixian calmed a little at his words, though her eyes still glared at him fiercely.
Zeng Xiaofan could barely hold back his laughter; luckily he managed not to burst out, or else he’d have gotten another beating...
"Alright... Sister Xian, please help me~"
"Shine the flashlight for me, will you? I really need to catch some frogs to sell in the city tomorrow."
Zeng Xiaofan proceeded to tell her about Uncle Changgui owing money to Zhao Qinglong.
Li Bixian finally stopped being angry, though her delicate brows knit in concern.
"Owing so much, why didn’t you tell me directly..."
"I have ten or twenty thousand saved up, I can give you some to use for now."
Zeng Xiaofan was deeply moved by her words.

"Thank you, Sister Xian, but let me try to figure something out first. If it really doesn’t work, then I’ll ask."
"Sister Xian, you’re so good to me!"
"I’ll be good to you for my whole life!"
Li Bixian’s pretty face blushed slightly, and she scolded:
"Hmph! Men’s words are nothing but lies..."
"I never expected you to pay me back...just don’t bully me, that’s all!"
"How could I ever bully you, Sister Xian!"
"I’d rather protect you!" Zeng Xiaofan patted his chest.
"How does that saying go? If I held you in my mouth, I’d fear you’d melt..."
"Sister Xian, that’s how I feel about you now, I’d be afraid to melt you if I held you in my mouth."
"Bah~"
"Who wants to be held in your mouth..."
Li Bixian, her mind drifting somewhere, broke into a giggle.
"Alright, hurry up and catch the frogs or dawn will break!"
Urging him on, she shone the light toward the croaking, and sure enough, there was a plump frog.
Zeng Xiaofan, quick as lightning, pounced and grabbed it in one swift motion.
The frog let out a miserable croak, kicked its legs, but couldn’t escape anymore.
Zeng Xiaofan tossed the frog into a snakeskin bag, tied the opening, and grinned at Li Bixian:
"So, isn’t it true that once you catch it, it wails?"
"Bah~" Li Bixian laughed and gave him a playful slap.
Thinking of her earlier misunderstanding about the wailing, she blushed in embarrassment.
So Li Bixian shone the light, Zeng Xiaofan caught the frogs, and together they made a perfect team, quickly filling a large bag.
Zeng Xiaofan checked carefully—none of the frogs were protected species—
And then tied the bag, taking out another to continue catching.
Zeng Xiaofan was naturally a nimble farm boy, and now, with inherited skills, his physical abilities had multiplied, catching frogs faster and more precisely than ever!
Some frogs had already leapt into the air, only for Zeng Xiaofan to sweep them straight into the bag with a single motion.
His agile moves in the fields made Li Bixian squeal and cheer:
"Ah!!!"
"Xiaofan! You’re amazing!!!"
"Ah, there’s another one over there!"
"Wow, your aim is so good! Incredible!"
Li Bixian was so excited she stomped her feet, her full figure trembling with vibrant, sensual charm.
Several times, her excitement made her jump so high her skirt fluttered, revealing the black underneath in a fleeting glimpse...
Unfortunately, Zeng Xiaofan was so focused on catching frogs that he didn’t notice these breathtaking sights.
Soon, he caught several more bags, and the sky began to lighten; dawn was near.

Zeng Xiaofan tied the last bag with satisfaction and said,
"That’s enough! Let’s head back!"
"Once the sun’s up, I’ll take them to the county market—wild game like this will fetch a good price!"
"Xiaofan, you’re so capable," Li Bixian praised sincerely.
"But it’s only thanks to your steady hand with the flashlight, Sister Xian~"
"I can only catch them so quickly because you aim so well!"
Zeng Xiaofan grinned, then mischievously raised an eyebrow:
"Just don’t accidentally shine it on someone’s backside next time!"
"Otherwise, I might grab it by mistake!"
"And that big behind—I won’t pay if I ruin it...."
"Get lost!"
Li Bixian, knowing he was teasing her again, immediately lifted her elegant leg and kicked Zeng Xiaofan’s rear, scolding:
"If you’ve got the guts, grab it then~"
"I’ll shine the light right now, let’s see you try!"
She aimed the flashlight straight at her chest.
Zeng Xiaofan nearly choked, laughing so hard he almost drooled:
"Ahem... alright, alright... Sister Xian, you win~"
"I surrender..."
He laughed, shook his head, and turned to squat by the water channel to wash his hands.
He didn’t notice that, as he squatted, his waistband slipped down, exposing a hint of his backside....
Behind him, Li Bixian first stifled a giggle, then her bright eyes flashed with mischief.
"Alright, Xiaofan... let’s see you laugh at me again..."
She grinned, quietly opened a snakeskin bag, grabbed a frog, and tiptoed behind him.
"It’s alright, Sister Xian, you don’t need to come so close with the flashlight. I’m just washing my hands~"
Zeng Xiaofan said, but before he finished, he felt a chill at his back—his waistband had been pulled down!
"Sister Xian, what are you doing!"
He reflexively tried to stand, but just then felt something cold, wet, and slippery drop into his pants!
It was alive, and once inside, it started jumping madly!
The sensation was so strange that even Zeng Xiaofan, a grown man, cried out in shock.
Behind him, Li Bixian burst into uncontrollable laughter, bending over with waves of joy:
"Giggle, giggle... naughty Xiaofan! That’s what you get for teasing me!"
"Hurry up and take your pants off! Or else that big frog will crawl right into your belly!"
"Hahahaha!!!!"
