Chương 13: Chapter 13 The Heavenly Maiden Descends
"Good... Ah, even better looking in person." A'niu scratched his head awkwardly, getting caught sneaking a peek, his face involuntarily flushing red.
But this woman really was stunning. If he could marry her and be with her every day, it would indeed be a beautiful joy, A'niu thought as he covertly glanced at Zhou Hongyu, feeling a strange emotion stirring within him.
At that moment, the Divine Power inside his body also began to surge wildly.
Seeing A'niu's lovesick expression, Tian Mei felt a slight disappointment well up inside her. She blushed and cleared her throat to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
"A'niu, stop staring and start talking, get to know each other a little," she said.
"Right, right, I'm A'niu, who might you be?!" blurted out A'niu, exuding a foolish charm.
The woman, however, did not engage in conversation, simply lifting the cup of water in front of her to drink. The matchmaker quickly seized the moment to introduce the woman.
It turned out that this woman wasn't from Peach Blossom Village, but from the neighbouring Peach Source Village, named Zhou Hongyu, and she was already twenty-three years old.
Zhou Hongyu was quite famous within the counties around, not because of her beauty, but because she suffered from a rare illness. According to a revered local master, she was a "Heavenly Maiden," born with a body full of yin poison, excessively cold energy in her body, cool to the touch like a piece of jade.
Moreover, this yin poison always acted up at critical moments during intimacy, during which Zhou Hongyu would become cold to the bone, causing her partner's body to shrink from the chill, and in more severe cases, affected men would become so cold they could never become aroused again.
Because Zhou Hongyu was beautiful, many men who considered themselves to have strong yang energy were not afraid to die for a chance to sleep with her. Zhou Hongyu did not refuse them, but until now no man had managed to reach the final step, all left shivering and softened outside.
Zhou Hongyu remained a virgin to this day.
Hearing this, Tian Mei could not help but frowned and questioned the matchmaker, "Auntie Li, aren't you gambling with A'niu's life?"
Matchmaker Auntie Li immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Mei Zi, don't be angry just yet. That day, when A'niu was pushing the cart back from the town, a distant master saw him and said that A'niu had a fierce and sturdy energy, capable of taming Hongyu's chill of yin poison. Hongyu's father was overjoyed when he heard this and hastily asked me to propose a marriage, saying that if it were to succeed, not only would they dispense with the bride price, but they would also build three big tile-roofed houses in Peach Blossom Village for A'niu."
The matchmaker looked at A'niu, "You young man, being chosen by the master, naturally will not fall short. Mei Zi, fortune has come to your family."
Upon hearing this, A'niu's heart was filled with doubts. Could it be the master had seen the Divine Power within him?
"That still won't do, how can we joke with A'niu's life like this? I do not agree to this marriage," Tian Mei said with concern.
"Your unwillingness doesn't matter, it's up to brother A'niu to decide."
Zhou Hongyu suddenly interjected, having always believed in the master's words. She had been tormented by the yin poison for many years and was beyond suffering. When the master had spoken of someone who could counteract the poison, her joy surpassed all others, and she swore to herself that even if the man were blind, lame, or hideously ugly, she would have to marry him.
Meeting A'niu today, she could hardly believe the man was actually tall and handsome. She was over the moon with happiness, only restraining herself due to a woman's modesty, having kept silent until then.
Seeing Tian Mei trying to intervene, Zhou Hongyu could no longer hold back.
A'niu looked from his aunt to Zhou Hongyu, stuck between the two.
"Since the master has said that A'niu is a man with a powerful essence, there should be no problem," the matchmaker intervened persuasively.
"Auntie Li, A'niu is just an ordinary person. Aren't you sending him to his death? I do not agree."
Tian Mei said, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
"You're just his adoptive aunt, not his biological mother. I'm only informing you about the matter with A'niu. I've made up my mind about him."
Zhou Hongyu stood up and stared at Tian Mei, unyielding as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Tian Mei was so angry that her eyes turned red, and tears were about to fall.
Seeing this, A'niu naturally took Tian Mei's side. Zhou Hongyu hadn't even married into the family yet, and she was already daring to shout at Tian Mei. How would they tolerate this in the future?
"Enough. I think this should be the end of it. My aunt doesn't agree, and neither do I. You all should leave."
After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Hongyu. He had to admit, this woman was truly beautiful.
Zhou Hongyu stepped forward and grabbed A'niu's arm. "A'niu, you don't have to sneak peeks at me. I know you must fancy me. After we get married, I'll let you look at me all you want. How does that sound?"
Zhou Hongyu was naturally stunning and coquettish. At that moment, she intentionally softened her demeanor, her eyes seducing A'niu with a voice so tender it made his bones turn soft.
The Divine Power within A'niu began to swell at that moment, urgently seeking Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation. A'niu felt as if a fire was roaming inside him, as though it was cooking all his organs.
A'niu gritted his teeth, desperately controlling the fire of desire within him.
Zhou Hongyu was truly a seductress, employing her beauty to expel the toxic energy within her body and secure the nourishment of a man.
"Mei Zi, look, let's just let the two of them spend some time together. If A'niu is willing, we as elders shouldn't stop them. What do you think?" The matchmaker clung to one last hope, knowing that if she succeeded, the Zhou family would give her a substantial red envelope.
Tian Mei, seeing that A'niu seemed unwilling to push Zhou Hongyu away, felt a twinge of discomfort in her heart.
The two sitting together truly made a handsome man and a beautiful woman, which caused a sour feeling to rise in Tian Mei's heart.
"Auntie, A'niu has grown so big. Staying with you all day, people in the village have already spread a lot of gossip," the matchmaker said, sensing that Tian Mei was reluctant to let go of A'niu.
Immediately, Tian Mei became tense and anxiously fiddled with her clothes, her biggest fear being that others would notice her feelings for A'niu. Thus, she stammered out, "If... um, if A'niu agrees, of course I won't interfere."
After speaking, she turned and angrily ran into the house, slamming the door shut with a "bang."
"What's gotten into your aunt?" Zhou Hongyu cooed, moving closer to A'niu again.
A'niu crossed and uncrossed his legs, taking the chance to let the air circulate below, as the weather was really hot and his body was drenched in sweat.
"You should go back first. My aunt has been feeling unwell lately. We'll talk more later."
A'niu forcefully pried Zhou Hongyu's hand away; if she continued to provoke him, he wouldn't be able to control the Divine Power inside him.
He couldn't let Zhou Hongyu see through him so easily!
Zhou Hongyu, seeing a turn of events, knew she shouldn't be too hasty at this moment. Continuing the argument might backfire.
She stretched out her slender, jade-like hands and suddenly cupped A'niu's face, planting a quick kiss on him.
Then she stood up, threw A'niu a seductive glance, and said softly, "Brother A'niu, wait for me to come find you."
After speaking, she walked towards the door with a flirtatious sway of her hips.
A'niu, caught off guard by the sudden kiss, felt the Divine Power inside him go wild, crashing around chaotically.
