Chapter 70: The Lord's Punishment

  Remember in one second

  "United Parliament?"

  Lei Ga asked: "So, I'm just a figurehead and don't need to do any specific work? You can handle everything with full authority?"

  "I'll occasionally judge disputes among your subjects at most." Duran promised.

  "It's no use."

  Lei Ga shook his head, "I'm a partner of the Violent Crow Tavern, it's not suitable for a partner to go and judge disputes."

  "Well, then quit your job as a partner. Isn't being the leader better than being a partner?" Du Lanye thought this was a very simple multiple-choice question.

  "You don't understand."

  In Rega's eyes, this was indeed a very simple multiple-choice question, "When the tavern mate is much more important than the Crow Lord."

  Dulan furrowed her brow, thinking for half a day without understanding why being an innkeeper was more important than being a lord. She hesitated for a moment before deciding not to think about it anymore and opened her mouth to say: "How about this, you usually do your job as an innkeeper, but when the Crow Lord needs to make an appearance, you come out and play the role of the Crow Lord. We will have a set of lordly robes made for you that fit your identity..."

  "Wait a minute—"

  Lei Ga interrupted Du Lan's words, "Even if the villagers of Wuya Ridge respect me as you said, outsiders will definitely not take me seriously because I'm so young. I think it's better to find an old guy who can make outsiders more convinced."

  "It's easy to deal with outsiders."

  Dulan said with confidence: "As long as you wear a mature and dignified lord's robe, cover your face with a veil, outsiders won't know your true identity. We'll just instruct the villagers to keep your identity secret, and everything will be perfectly resolved."

  "Masked?"

  Lei Ga thought of Hong Luolan immediately. When Hong Luolan covered her face, it was indeed impossible to see through her true age, and there was a kind of intimidating mysteriousness about her that could be borrowed. However, he still asked somewhat uneasily: "Are you really willing to let an inn boy become the lord?"

  "I don't want to."

  Dulan's enemy helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "But apart from you, no one else is more suitable, the Crow Lord is none other than you."

  Lei Ga thought for a moment and finally nodded his head. "Alright, I promise you."

  "Really!?" Dulan's face lit up with joy.

  Lei Ga deliberately put on a serious face and said: "Now, don't hurry up and return the clothes to the great Crow Lord!"

  "Yes! My lord!"

  Duran bowed with a slightly exaggerated flourish, then tossed his clothes back onto the shore.

  "Don't turn around and don't sneak a peek!" Lui warned.

  "I'm not that kind of person!"

  Dulan turned his back, shouting in embarrassment: "What else is there to see? I've already seen what's worth seeing. Hurry up and get dressed, I still need to explain the specific plan to you."

  "And even said she wasn't a female hooligan!"

  Lei Ga jumped ashore, the water on his body didn't need to be wiped, it was already dried by the 8th stage Dou Qi. He quickly put on his clothes, then said to Du Lan Di: "Alright, female rogue, you can turn back now."

  Du Lan's enemy turned around, and before he could even open his mouth to speak, he was already stunned.

  Lei Ga had become much stronger than a month ago, and the thin clothes could barely hide his bulging muscles. If not for that face which still didn't show much emotion as usual, Du Lan would have almost failed to recognize him.

  "What's going on?"

  Lei Ga asked with a sly smile: "You don't really have feelings for me, do you?"

  "What a joke?!"

  Dulan Di hastily covered up his embarrassment, stubbornly saying: "I, Dulan Di, would rather have ideas about stones than have any ideas about a rascal like you!"

  "Really?"

  Lei Ga suddenly took a step closer to Du Lan, and an eerie evil spark flashed in his black pupils.

  Dulan's body involuntarily retreated a step, and coincidentally tripped on a protruding goose egg stone, immediately losing its balance, and shrieking as it fell backwards.

  Lei Ga wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her up just as she was about to fall.

  Dulandien's fright had just subsided, the terror on her face not yet completely dissipated, her cherry lips slightly parted, and Yu Lan's breath rose and fell with her delicate chest - Leiga merely held her waist with one hand, and his body involuntarily reacted.

  "Let me go!"

  Dulanei seemed to feel that Leiga's gaze was different from before, and she struggled in Leiga's arms, her hands pushing hard against Leiga's chest. The solid pectoral muscles were like a warm city wall, making Dulanei's heart flutter.

  "Rogue... let go quickly..." She found that her tone was not as severe and strong as she had imagined.

  Lei Ga didn't let go. Dulan's struggle, which seemed to be but wasn't, only made him hold tighter. What was originally just a simple gesture of support had suddenly turned into an ambiguous move. He couldn't figure out how this change had occurred, perhaps it was because he had eaten too much of the first-class deer meat, or maybe it was because he had drunk too much of the Deer Blood Tiger Whip wine. At this moment, all he felt was his blood boiling, himself getting harder and harder, while Dulan seemed to be getting softer and softer.

  "This is your punishment, for lifting up my blanket and peeking while I was unconscious, and also for intentionally taking away my clothes to threaten me." Rega explained with a dry mouth.

  Duran's enemy was squeezed by the iron hoop-like arm, and he couldn't breathe. He let out a soft cry, his long beautiful legs moving restlessly, rubbing against Lega's high-raised **, making his previous explanation futile.

  "You..."

  Dulan's face turned red like hot coals before he could even open his mouth to scold. "I'm much older than you, you can't talk to me like that..."

  Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum, her body had given up resisting, her eyes were slightly closed, and her sharp chin was slightly raised.

  Lei Ga knew what that meant, he really wanted to bite down on Du Lan's lower lip, part her pearly whites, taste the flavor of her tongue, and even slip his hand into her bosom, find those two red bean-like beautiful **, and recklessly fondle...

  But he soon calmed down and realized that doing so would only harm Dulan enemy.

  He had no love for her, at least not now. At night he would dream of Red Loraine, dream of Spring Rain Lady, even dream of the witch Astar, but never once dreamed of Dulan enemy, even though he had seen her body, peeked at the mystery between her beautiful legs - He had no love for her, only a sudden urge between them.

  Once he kisses Dulan's lips, puts his hands into her clothes, everything will be irretrievable. He can't control himself wanting her and keep wanting her, but except leaving his seed between her legs, he has nothing to give her.

  A beautiful promise, a comfortable home, a happy future, all that an ordinary girl wants, he can't provide any of it.

  He was destined to leave Crow Ridge, venture into the outside world and hone himself into a true legend. However, Du Lan had no choice but to stay here, get married, have children, watch her grandchildren grow up, and reminisce about the passing years.

  "Punishment... ends here."

  Lei Ga released Du Lan Di.

  The powerful masculine force that had been confined in his body suddenly disappeared, and Duland's eyes opened in surprise. He saw Leika turn around, quietly gazing at the floating ice flowing slowly on the White River.

  Floating ice...

  Duran's enemy at this time, wasn't his mood the same? Just like those floating icebergs, he was trapped and helpless, with nowhere to place himself. He didn't understand why Rega hugged him tightly, yet ultimately let go of those hands that should have received more. His ** had already become numb, waiting for the pain of being roughly grasped, his teeth were also tightly clenched together, ready to resist being pried open by a tongue...

  Nothing happened, nothing at all happened...

  If he wanted her, she would struggle with all her might, but she knew that such struggles and resistance were utterly futile against a man with eight stages of Dou Qi.

  She certainly doesn't want to be taken advantage of by a man, she wants to hear sweet nothings, she wants to hear vows of eternal love, even if she knows these things are empty words, and doesn't want to do something that shouldn't happen before building up enough feelings.

  But when Lai Ga withdrew his arm, she felt as if a piece of bone had been pulled out from her body, a piece that made it impossible for her to support herself.

  Lucky? No, it's disappointment, obvious disappointment, unexpected disappointment...

  When she realized this, she understood that she had fallen into a river - not the white river flowing in front of her with floating ice, but a deep and bottomless love river, probably unable to climb ashore for life.

  Dulan's enemy sneered and self-deprecatingly said, "It seems that being older has its advantages. I'm four years older than you, so you're my little brother. In the future, don't be rude to your sister."

  She found herself hurt by her own sarcasm, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.

  Lei Ga knew it wasn't a matter of age, but he didn't want to go comfort Dulan Di. After letting go of Dulan Di, he had been suppressing the regret in his heart. If he let him touch Dulan Di's tenderness again, he was afraid that all his calmness and rationality would be lost. He couldn't bear to push away this opportunity a second time.

  I'm definitely not confident...

  He swallowed hard, avoiding Duran's topic, and asked calmly, "Didn't you say you wanted to discuss the plan for Crow Ridge with me?"

  "Oh."

  You don't dare to look at me, you don't dare to turn your head back to look at me... Du Lan's enemy pursed his lips and said lightly: "The plan is very simple. We are going to repair the old town of Crow Ridge immediately. As for the details, don't worry about it."

  "Is it suitable to start work in winter?"

  This shouldn't be Lega's concern, but he didn't know what else to say.

  "Yes, you can go down to the river in winter without clothes, why can't we start work in winter?"

  Duran's words were laced with a menacing hostility, like the tone lovers use when they quarrel.

  Lei Ga Mingming can refute, but cannot refute. "Okay, is there anything else?"

  "It's all gone."

  Duran's enemy turned around and left, but two steps later suddenly stopped again, "Lega..."

  "Huh?"

  "You've grown taller."

  From the moment she was held tightly by him, she felt a difference from last time, but at that time her heart was racing like a deer, and she didn't notice it at all. It wasn't until just now when she calmed down that she realized she had to look up straight in order to catch the subtle changes in Lega's facial expressions.

  If she were to hold him in her arms once more, she would surely know just how much Rega had grown in this short month, but unfortunately, there wouldn't be such an opportunity again.

  "Hmm, I'll continue growing taller." Rega replied with a poker face.

  Dulan's enemy smiled silently and didn't say a word, turned around and left, and never stopped again.

  Lei Ga, when I need to look up to you, will you still only see me as your sister...
