Chapter 440: 439

"Lianyun officialdom, it’s in chaos!"

As Xu Wendong drove away from the county government courtyard, Bai Lu suddenly sighed, "But, it should be in chaos!"

"Calm as a still water, there’s no vitality." Saying this, a charming smile appeared on her face.

As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times.

The principle was the same.

Previously, Lianyun County’s officialdom was cohesive, with no real conflicts, but today’s early meeting was full of hidden threats.

This gave her hope!

The hope of Lianyun County!

"Leader, where are we heading now?" Xu Wendong asked.

Bai Lu softly said, "To Monkey Mountain!"

Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask, "Going to see the monkeys?"

"Monkey Mountain has no monkeys anymore!" Bai Lu smiled and then continued, "Going to Monkey Mountain is to inspect the hot springs there."

Monkey Mountain was located in the southwest of Lianyun County, fifteen kilometers away from the county town. The mountain used to have many wild monkeys, hence the name Monkey Mountain.

However, as the monkey group caused trouble, they were all put into the zoo.

"Monkey Mountain has hot springs?" Xu Wendong was surprised, "Honestly, soaking in a hot spring at this time of year is really comfortable!"

He really missed the wonderful times of soaking in a hot spring with his sister-in-law Lin Yiren and Huang Ruirui...

Bai Lu said, "I have a classmate who lives at the foot of Monkey Mountain. She contacted me yesterday, saying that a new hot spring had appeared there, right in her family’s field."

Many residents of Lianyun County knew about the hot springs on Monkey Mountain.

However,

the hot springs were not centrally located, so they were not properly developed.

This time, she wanted to conduct a field investigation. If the hot spring was truly large, it could be developed to stimulate the economy of Lianyun County.

Half an hour later,

Xu Wendong and Bai Lu arrived at the foot of Monkey Mountain. Because of the nearby farmers’ fields, cars could drive to the mountain’s foot.

After parking the car, Xu Wendong and Bai Lu walked towards the southwest mountain hollow because Bai Lu had received information that the new hot spring was there.

"Leader, is your foot not healed yet?"

Seeing Bai Lu limping, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but frown. Last time, Bai Lu had sprained her foot, and he clearly had treated it for her.

Bai Lu smiled wryly, "It’s just an ingrown toenail acting up, nothing serious."

Xu Wendong was relieved, knowing ingrown toenails weren’t a severe ailment, but if a nail pierced the skin causing inflammation and pus, it would definitely be very painful.

Xu Wendong asked, "Is the hot spring still far from us?"

Bai Lu glanced around and said, "Probably more than two kilometers!"

"If it’s too hard, let me carry you over!" Xu Wendong suggested, unable to bear seeing his leader limp on the rough earthen path.

Bai Lu blushed, "No need, no need, it’s not a serious injury, I can walk slowly myself."

As a woman, being carried by a man in the wilderness, how could that be appropriate?

Her upbringing and the ideas her parents instilled in her made it unacceptable to be carried by Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong said, "Ingrown toenails might not be a grave disease, but if the condition worsens, it could lead to infections and, in severe cases, even amputation!"

Bai Lu’s face changed colors, and a hint of uneasiness surfaced in her eyes. Awkwardly, she said, "Then squat down!"

Although she couldn’t accept being carried by Xu Wendong,

she couldn’t accept the fate of amputation even more.

Indeed.

In terms of medicine, she really trusted Xu Wendong.

And so,

Xu Wendong half-squatted down, carried Bai Lu along the bumpy mountain road, and, under her guidance, headed towards the mountain hollow.

However, his heart was far from calm.

Willing for it.

Bai Lu had a particularly pleasant fragrance that deeply stimulated his senses.

Moreover, with Bai Lu lying on his back, he could even feel the softness against his back.

His thoughts involuntarily wandered.

But that was all.

After all, he had already won over her sister, Bai Yu. He had to control his thoughts and maintain a certain distance from Bai Lu.

If he indulged with both sisters, surely he would face a heavenly punishment.

Bai Lu quietly lay on Xu Wendong’s back, though she was somewhat repulsed by this behavior in her heart, she had an inexplicable sense of security.

As if the man’s shoulders in front of her could bear the sky.

Yet...

Why was her body feeling a bit warm?

Bai Lu suddenly asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, I don’t!" Xu Wendong shamelessly replied.

Although he had many women, a girlfriend... he could absolutely not admit to.

He didn’t even know why he had that thought.

Hearing that Xu Wendong had no girlfriend, Bai Lu felt a hint of happiness in her heart, and asked further, "Do you mind if the woman is older than you?"

She herself didn’t know why she was asking this.

But in her heart,

Xu Wendong completely met her criteria for a suitor.

Handsome, capable,

most importantly, her parents also liked him a lot.

"Age certainly matters, but it also depends on the person!" Xu Wendong carried Bai Lu onwards, "If someone doesn’t fit my aesthetic, I won’t consider them, even if they are the same age, or younger."

"Conversely, if someone fits my aesthetic, I could accept them even if they are ten or twenty years older."

The allure of a mature beauty was far more interesting than a young girl.

Bai Lu asked with a smile, "Do I fit your aesthetic?"

Xu Wendong was taken aback.

Whoa!

What did she mean by that?

Could she have inappropriate thoughts about him?

Xu Wendong felt a bit panicked, and said, "Leader, please don’t joke with me."

Bai Lu: "Are you avoiding my question?"

Xu Wendong didn’t expect this woman to be so relentless, but still said, "I’m not avoiding your question, it’s just, in my heart, you’ve always been my superior, I definitely don’t entertain any improper thoughts about you!"

Bai Lu blushed, saying, "Even if you did, I wouldn’t mind."

Xu Wendong instinctively swallowed.

He didn’t know how to respond...

Being a scoundrel, from the moment he met Bai Lu, he had improper thoughts.

But the problem was.

He was entangled with Bai Lu’s sister!

He genuinely couldn’t bring himself to indulge in both sisters.

It wasn’t out of fear of heavenly retribution.

Anyway, going against heaven, cultivators would face lightning strikes eventually.

He feared capsizing.

If that happened, the two sisters would surely turn against each other.

Just when Xu Wendong didn’t know how to respond, Bai Lu’s joyful voice rang out, "Look, there’s the hot spring!"

Xu Wendong looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, ahead appeared a mist of hot air, spreading in the mountain hollow ahead.

Xu Wendong immediately quickened his pace, finally arriving at the mountain hollow to see a hot spring pool of over ten square meters, feeling the warm breath by the side, giving a particularly comfortable feeling.

"Put me down!" Bai Lu said to Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong acknowledged, then half-squatted, waiting for Bai Lu’s feet to touch the ground before releasing his hold on her legs.

But just as he let go, Bai Lu unexpectedly lost her balance and with a splash fell into the hot spring...
