Chapter 38: The Mystery of Beicheng Mountain and a Stroll in Suzhou

Meanwhile, at Beichen Mountain, over a hundred kilometers away from Ning City, a sudden disturbance occurred at this moment, causing the ground to shake and the mountains to tremble, with flying sand and rolling stones!

Even in Ning City, people felt a strong tremor, thinking it was an earthquake, and they all ran to open areas to take shelter.

Fortunately, this shockwave subsided quickly, so for everyone, it was still business as usual—eating when they should eat, drinking when they should drink. Of course, most people just continued slaving away like oxen and horses.

However, for the official side of Hua Country, this earthquake wave brought an ancient secret to the surface.

Because according to the investigation, the officials quickly discovered that the earthquake wave originated from Beichen Mountain, and after this wave, an entrance to an ancient tomb unexpectedly appeared on Beichen Mountain!

This excited the archaeology experts to no end, and a large number of archaeology professionals immediately headed to Beichen Mountain to begin excavation work…

Moreover, after a simple survey, to everyone’s surprise, this ancient tomb was far larger than they had imagined!

Logically speaking, such a grand tomb would mean its owner was undoubtedly a prominent figure in history, but after checking for a long time, the experts still couldn’t figure out the identity of the tomb’s owner…

On the other side, in the Jiangnan water town.

At this moment, Xia Zhiqiu walked among the bustling tourists, watching many girls dressed in Hanfu, her mood incredibly relaxed.

As expected, after leaving that little bastard Bai Hao behind, she felt much more normal overall, no longer acting all effeminate, and she even regained a bit of long-lost interest in beautiful women.

However, just as Xia Zhiqiu was about to find a place to eat, a young man’s figure appeared on the stone bridge not far away, smiling faintly at her.

Xia Zhiqiu thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes, but the young man still lifted his foot and walked toward her!

Seeing this, Xia Zhiqiu finally confirmed it—that bastard Bai Hao had really followed her here!

Without time to think, Xia Zhiqiu had only one thought in her mind right now: run! If she got caught by this bastard, there would definitely be no good outcome for her!

Meanwhile, Bai Hao watched as Aunt Xia turned and fled the moment she saw him, and he helplessly touched his nose, making him seem like some kind of ferocious beast…

But what Xia Zhiqiu didn’t know was that the young man was a Gui, and one with overwhelming strength!

So in the blink of an eye, the young man on the stone bridge vanished, startling a tourist who thought he’d seen a ghost.

***

Over here, Xia Zhiqiu ran for quite a while before stopping in a small alley of the ancient town, leaning against the wall and panting heavily.

“This time, I should have shaken him off, right?”

Xia Zhiqiu couldn’t figure out how that young man knew she was here.

However, as soon as she turned her head, the young man was already standing behind her. Xia Zhiqiu instinctively wanted to run, but Bai Hao pinned her against the wall in one swift move!

“Aunt Xia, where do you think you’re running to now?”

Xia Zhiqiu twisted her delicate body and, realizing she was completely pinned down by the young man, finally said with some guilt.

“I-I wasn’t running, Bai Hao. How did you end up in Suzhou?”

Bai Hao raised an eyebrow.

“That’s what I should be asking you, Aunt Xia, right? Ignoring my WeChat messages, not picking up my calls?”

With that, Bai Hao flipped the stunning mature beauty in front of him around and gave her perky butt a smack.

“Mm…”

Xia Zhiqiu let out a pained cry, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief.

“You—you dare to spank my ass?! Ah! I’ll fight you to the death!”

With that, Xia Zhiqiu turned into a little tigress, baring her small tiger teeth and struggling wildly, determined to bite this humiliating bastard to death!

Bai Hao just chuckled lightly at this, raising his hand for another smack on her perky butt. Aunt Xia was being so disobedient, so as her husband, he had to make her properly feel what family discipline was all about!

For a moment, the crisp smacking sounds echoed in the alley, accompanied by the mature beauty’s whimpers.

“Aunt Xia, do you know you’re wrong now?”

Xia Zhiqiu’s beautiful eyes were misty with tears, but she still clawed and bared her teeth.

“Wrong, my f*cking ass! Beast… Ah!”

Smack!

“What about now?”

“Mm, just beat me to death then…”

Smack!

Finally, Xia Zhiqiu couldn’t take it anymore. Even though the young man’s smacks weren’t unbearable, they made her shame explode!

“I was wrong, I was wrong, stop hitting me…”

Bai Hao watched as the stubborn Aunt Xia finally admitted her mistake, then flipped her delicate body back around and pinned her against the wall.

“Aunt Xia, I don’t want to punish you either, but you’re just too disobedient. It hurts me more than it hurts you.”

Hearing such shameless words from the young man, she shot him a glare full of shy anger and wanted to curse him out again.

Seeing this, Bai Hao seemed to guess what this stunning aunt was about to say, and he directly lowered his head to seal her luscious red lips! Even if Xia Zhiqiu pounded his head with her fists, it was no use…

A long while later, Bai Hao dragged the squirming Xia Zhiqiu out of the alley. At this moment, this mature woman was just like an eighteen-year-old girl, her pretty face flushed with shame as she kept her head down and followed behind the young man.

But what Xia Zhiqiu feared most right now was the young man bringing up that bet.

Fortunately, Bai Hao didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so at the moment. He pulled Aunt Xia onto the ancient street. As one of Hua Country’s top tourist cities, Suzhou was a place Bai Hao naturally wanted to explore since he was here.

So for a while, the two with an obvious age difference strolled hand in hand through the ancient town, though Xia Zhiqiu was clearly reluctant…

At this point, Bai Hao watched as a young lady in Hanfu passed by them, and he couldn’t help but fall into thought.

But in Xia Zhiqiu’s eyes, this was the young man sneaking peeks at other girls. Everyone appreciates beauty, and even as a man before, she was the same even now.

Even so, a wave of discomfort surged in her heart, and this strange emotion startled Xia Zhiqiu herself!

Oh god, what was wrong with her? This little bastard could look at whoever he wanted—what did it have to do with her?

Thinking this way, Xia Zhiqiu huffed lightly and shook off the young man’s hand.

Bai Hao was stunned for a moment, but watching Aunt Xia stride ahead, he seemed to understand something, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. He quickly caught up with a rogue grin and grabbed her jade hand again.

“Aunt Xia, were you jealous just now when I looked at other women?”

These words undoubtedly stepped on the little tigress’s tail, instantly making Xia Zhiqiu bristle.

“Jealous my ass! I wasn’t, don’t talk nonsense!”

But her huge reaction only confirmed Bai Hao’s suspicion even more, filling him with joy and making him think Aunt Xia was just too adorable.

“Fine, fine, no jealousy, no jealousy. But seriously, I wasn’t looking at other women just now. I was just thinking that if Aunt Xia wore Hanfu, she’d look way better than any of them.”

Hearing the young man’s explanation, the slight furrow in Xia Zhiqiu’s brows unconsciously relaxed, though she didn’t notice it herself.

“I don’t want to. If you want to wear it, wear it yourself!”

Trying to trick her into women’s clothing again—what a jerk…
