Chapter 146
Chapter 146 – Stay (5)
Li Mo tilted his neck to look up at her . Seeing her bright red face, he suddenly wanted to laugh . "Why would it be awkward?" Most of the families in the Goddess's Ravine were all like this . Even in the richer families, it was common for group of brothers to marry only one wife . Of course, later on, they might add concubines to their household .
Defeated, Li Man was somewhat speechless, "Even so, if you and your brothers only have one woman, wouldn't you all find it unbearable?"
"I understand . In all aspects, I'm not as good as my younger brothers . It's okay that you're closer to them than me . "
He was certainly broadminded . "Can you guarantee that Li Yan and the others will think the same way as you?"
"I can," Li Mo easily answered . "Second brother and the others are all good children . They all have a sense of propriety . "

" . . . " Li Man was left speechless . So, he was saying that it was all up to her to decide?
After taking several deep breaths, Li Man decided to let herself calm down first . She couldn't let herself get confused by his strange logic . This usually taciturn man had a surprisingly skillful tongue when he was negotiating . It had only taken him a few words to push her into a pit .
"Oldest brother . " After Li Man calmed down, she continued, "The issue of sharing a wife, can we just let it be? Perhaps, in the near future, all of you will be able to find women that you genuinely love . "
Li Mo blushed and stayed silent . He had already gotten used to their interactions during the past several days . How could he possibly fall in love with another woman?
"If you won't agree, then -" Li Man's eyes were a bit red . Knowing that the Li family had purchased her was really hurtful . She would have never guessed that this would be the truth . "How much did do you buy me for? Can I work that off?"
Li Mo's heart softened when he heard her miserable sounding voice . "Why mention that? Whatever you say, I'll agree to it . "
"Then -" Li Man's eyes brightened . "Can we keep our conversation a secret?" She was scared that if Li Yan and the others knew about this matter, they would act even presumptuously . Even if she was an idiot, she realized now that their previous behavior of wanting to pursue her, but stopping themselves was because they didn't want to upset her when she didn't know the facts .
Li Mo looked troubled . "This conversation, we already discussed this amongst ourselves beforehand . "
*Bzz* Li Man blanked out . "What?"
"Don't worry, we'll be the same as before," Li Mo comforted her .
"But -" It wouldn't be bad if this conversation was kept between them . If everyone knew, it would be so awkward .
"Third brother is back," Little Five's voice came from the doorway as if he was notifying them .
Li Man's mind had truly been thrown into turmoil .
Li Mo gazed at her and said, "It's okay . Third brother wouldn't dare to do anything . When we found out that you were missing this afternoon, third brother was so anxious that he almost cried . "
Li Shu almost cried? Li Man had a hard time believing this .
However, at this time, Li Shu had already entered the room . His face slightly stiffened when he saw that they were the only two people in the room . He glanced at Li Man with a heated gaze before quickly turning to ask Li Mo, "Oldest brother, I brought that beast back . I'll skin it now . "
"En, be careful . Don't damage it," instructed Li Mo .
Li Shu left the hut right after answering, "I know . "
Li Man met Li Mo's eyes . She heaved a secret sigh of relief and said, "Get some rest . I'll leave first . "
"Wait -"
"Yes?"

Chapter 147 - Stay (6)
Li Mo hesitantly looked at her. "If... if you want to leave, tell me first. It's dangerous for you to go out alone."
Li Man's eyes suddenly felt warm. This simple, honest man...
She left the eastern hurt and saw that Little Five was holding a bowl and leaning by the doorway. Faced with his adoring look, an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. She felt uncomfortable with meeting his pure and simple gaze and quickly went to hide in her own hut.
Li Mo had already been cleaned her bed. Although it was still a bit damp, it would be fine to sit down.
Her mind was still in disarray. To be more accurate, once she found out about the truth, it had never calmed down since then. What happened afterwards had only temporarily diverted her attention. Once she was alone again, the earlier thoughts came back to the forefront. She knew that avoidance was useless. But, what should she do?
Suddenly, the door to her room was pushed open. Li Shu was holding red fruits in his hands. He brought it over to her as if he was presenting her with treasure. "Wife, for you. I washed them."
Li Man picked up the fruit and asked, "What's this?"
"Shan li hong. They're sweet. Try some." As Li Shu said this, he put the large handful of fruits onto her bed.
(T/N: Shan li hong looks like a mini hawthorn. Below is a picture.)
Li Man had wanted to say the bed was dirty, but he had already run off after a parting grin.
So energetic...
She tried a shan li hong. It really was sweet. It tasted fresh too as if it had just been picked off the trees in the mountain recently.
Sitting on the bed, she slowly ate the fruits until she suddenly thought of Little Five. She quickly wrapped up the remaining fruits.
At this time, there was the sound of activity coming from the outside. She sneakily walked to her window to take a peek and saw that the wolf was hanging on the peach tree's branch. Li Shu was currently peeling off its fur. Scared, she quickly covered her eyes.
"Why are you so cowardly?" A voice by her ears suddenly asked.
Startled, Li Man put her hand down and saw that it was Li Yan. Without her noticing, he had come over and was leaning through the window. His head drew closer hers, and he looked at her with enigmatic smile.
Li Man glared at him and stretched her hand out to close the window.
Right after she closed the window, her door opened with a creak. Li Yan entered her hut, then closed the door.
Normally, she was used to keeping the door closed even in the daytime. However, once he closed the door, and the room became darker, Li Man felt a sense of oppression.
"Why did you close the door?"
Step by step, Li Yan approached her. Instead of her answering her question, he asked, "Why are you hiding?"
"Who's hiding?" Would she be retreating if he didn't keep getting closer to her?
"Hey, if there's something you want to say, just say it. Stop coming closer." Li Man had been forced to retreat all the way to her bed. Once her butt fell on the bed, if she wanted to continue retreating, she would have to go onto the bed.
Li Yan leaned over, and Li Man cowered in fright. She crossed her arms over her chest. "Stop messing around."
"Haha." Li Yan placed his hands down on either side of her. He stared at her in amusement. "What's there to be scared of? It's the middle of the day. Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
Eh, he wasn't touching her? Li Man opened her eyes and stared back at him. "Why are you leaning so closely to me?"
"Are your hands clean?" Li Yan lightly looked at her in askance, then he took out a container of ointment from his clothes. "Here."
"What?"
"It's for you to apply it for me. Can't you see that my face is still swollen?"
T/N: I prefer Li Mo and Li Shu's approach to Li Man over Li Yan's. Who do you guys like the best?

Chapter 148 - Threatening (1)
Li Yan sat down next to Li Man. Seeing that she was still blankly looking at him, he stuffed the medicine container into her hand and asked, "Are your hands clean? If not, go wash them."
Li Man was truly overwhelmed with annoyance. His tone sounded as if it was her duty to help him. She tossed the container back to him, stood up, and was about leave. "Do it yourself."
"What?" Li Yan grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "I won't be able to see it clearly by myself. If I end up accidentally getting the medicine into my eyes, it's poisonous. Oldest brother is injured, and third brother is busy. And fourth brother, well, can you bear to let him see me like this? Little Five, do you want to call him over?"
So, there was no choice? She had to do it? Li Man grinded her teeth. She looked at her hand, which was being tightly held by him, and angrily said, "I'm going to wash my hands."
"Oh, be sure to wash thoroughly." Li Yan cracked a smile. He let go of her hand. "Hurry back."
Li Man's lip had turned white because she was biting too hard. Wasn't this man too outrageous? He had gotten beaten up because of another women, so what right did he have to insist on having her apply the medicine?
After washing her hands in the kitchen, she still obediently came back. However, she didn't close the door on her way inside, and she had specially brought back a stool to keep the door open.
Li Yan was leaning at the head of the bed. He chuckled. "Why are you being so careful?"
He was so full of crap. Li Man glared at him in annoyance. She stretched her hand out. "Hand over the medicine."
Li Yan chuckled and started to place the container in her hand. However, when he saw faint scratches on her palm, he took the medicine back.
"What are you doing?" It would be great if she didn't have to help him.
Li Yan looked at her in askance. He opened the container and poured out some of ointment onto his finger. Then, he grabbed Li Man's hand.
Flustered, Li Man wanted to pull her hand back, but he was holding her hand too tightly. After only a brief struggle, her wrist already hurt. "What are you doing?"
"Applying medicine for you." Li Yan's voice was loud, but his movements were very gentle. He gently rubbed the ointment onto the abrasions with two fingers. Once he was done, he grabbed her other hand.
Li Man hastily flung his hand off. "I can do it myself."
"My hands are clean too." Seeing that she looked like a cat that had its tailed stepped on, Li Yan helplessly smiled.
However, his expression obviously provoked Li Man even more. She just wanted to apply the ointment for him and leave. "I -"
Before she could finish speaking, Li Yan grabbed her hand again. Just like before, he applied the ointment with his fingers. However, after he was done, he didn't let go of her hand. Instead, he turned his hand and lightly pinched her a few times. "Why are you so disobedient? See, you ended up paying for your mistake."
"What do you mean?" Li Man forcefully pulled her hand away.
Li Yan smiled at her. "You ran off to the mountain by yourself. It's only because you were lucky that you didn't end up getting eaten by a wolf."
He probably already knew everything. Li Man clenched her jaw and stayed silent.
"Alright, it's your turn." Li Yan didn't speak further about this. He dropped the container in her palm, then raised his face to her.
Li Man didn't say anything either. Taking the container, she transferred some of the ointment onto her fingers, then applied it to the injured spots on his face. Her fingers were gentle, but Li Yan still complained, "Be gentler, be gentler -"

Chapter 149 - Threatening (2)
"I'm already being very gentle." Li Man felt very wronged. "Can you stop moving around?"
And so, Li Yan straightened up and stayed still. After applying the ointment to his cheeks, Li Man rubbed it onto the corners of his lips, where it was slightly cracked. It was obvious that someone had punched him here.
Li Yan suddenly spoke, "You're not going to ask why I was beaten up?"
Li Man shook her head. She could easily guess why. There was no need to ask.
Original translation is from fuyuneko dot org. If you're reading this elsewhere, this chapter has been stolen. Please stop supporting theft.
Not caring about her response, Li Yan continued, "Fulia and I are childhood friends. Don't misunderstand him because of his bad behavior today. He wasn't like this in the past. He's a bashful person and not very brave. When we were younger, the other children would always bully him. Even if he fought back, he never won any of those fights. But, he changed after his leg was injured. He became irritable and unreasonable. Mudan is his only sister, and she always liked to tag along when we were playing together as children. You know that I don't have a sister, so I've always treated her as my own sister too."
Why was he explaining this to her? Li Man kept her head lowered. She didn't make any sounds. After she was done applying the medicine to his face, she put the ointment container down on the bed. "I'm done."
After saying these departing words, she wanted to go out and freely breathe in some fresh air. But, right after she turned around, he forcefully grabbed her by the waist. For a moment, it felt as if the sky and earth were spinning. Li Yan had embraced her and was pressing down on her.
She opened her mouth, but before she could make any sound, warm lips blocked it off. Even her gums felt pain from the heavy impact of his kiss.
His kiss was very overbearing. He forcibly parted her lips that she tried to close, and his tongue deftly and unreasonably squeezed inside. He willfully and oppressively licked her mouth and teasingly tangled his tongue with her uncoordinated tongue.
Li Man was freaking out. She couldn't move or escape. It felt as if he was going to suck away all the air in her lungs. She mewled in discomfort like a kitten.
Her mind gradually went blank, and her vision was becoming blurry. She seemed to hear something by her ears, and she wanted to shout, but he suddenly picked her up, and it felt the sky and Earth was spinning again. He carried her away from the bed. In a few swift movements, he kicked away stool that was serving as a doorstop, closed the door, and pressed her against it.
His smooth movements were very natural as if everything was falling into place.
Li Man felt very suspicious. How many times had he practiced doing this to become so skillful?
With the last opening to the hut closed, the lighting in the room had darkened. The mood in the room seemed to have reached a boiling point.
She fiercely glared at him. She bit her somewhat swollen red lips. Her chest rose up and down at a pace that had been thrown into disorder.
He had one arm across her chest, and the other hand was pressing against the door. His head was lowered a lot so that it was almost touching her forehead. His gaze was fixated on her, and his warmth breath blew over her face.
"Are you angry?" He slightly curved his lip. His amused gaze still showed a bit of overbearing ferociousness and stubbornness.
Li Man didn't reply, but her expression clearly stated everything.
"You're really mad?" Seeing that she biting her lip and staying silent, he actually pinched her soft, silky cheek.
Li Man's entire body tensed. She smacked his hand away. "Li Yan, can you stop being so outrageous?"
Li Yan snickered. "Is it outrageous for me to kiss my wife?"

Chapter 150
Chapter 150 – Threatening (3)
"You?!" Li Man was so angry that she almost couldn't breath . She turned her face away . "Shameless!" She hadn't agreed to be his wife .
This didn't bother Li Yan . "No one has ever called me that . " After a pause, he suddenly grabbed her chin and tilted her face up . He looked rather threatening as he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you have another man before coming to my home?"
While Li Man was flabbergasted, he tapped her heart . "I meant here . "
"Scoundrel," Li Man angrily rebuked, even her eyes had reddened .
"It'll be for the best if there wasn't one, and even if there was, you should forget him," Li Yan slowly said, "Since you already belong to Li family, don't think about leaving . "

Li Man looked at him in surprise, that's not what Li Mo told her . He had said that if she wanted to leave, she just needed to tell him .
Seeming to have guessed her thoughts, Li Yan lightly smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes . "I'm not oldest brother . I won't look the other way when a woman is cheating on me . "
"Li Yan . . . "Li Man was stunned by the coldness in his eyes .
"So, if you dare to run away again for the third time, even if a wolf doesn't eat you, I'll eat you . "
There was suddenly knocking on the door, and they heard Li Shu's voice, "Second brother, are you inside?"
Li Man stopped breathing for a moment, redness had climbed up her cheeks, and her eyes showed her uneasiness . She clearly hoped that someone would break this embarrassing scene, but if someone saw that she was alone with Li Yan, what would they think?
A peculiar light flashed in those deep eyes . Li Yan continued to stare at her without blinking . He suddenly opened his mouth and was about to reply .
In an act of desperation, Li Man covered his mouth and said, "Li Shu, your second brother isn't here . "
Right after these words, she saw Li Yan resisting the urge to laugh . She immediately felt as if she had fallen into a trap that she dug herself . She had given herself away by being too conspicuous in trying to hide his presence .
Fortunately, Li Shu wasn't an acute person . He scratched his head and walked away after murmuring something .
Li Man wanted to take her hand back, but Li Yan tightly grasped it . He opened his mouth and bit her wrist . He didn't bite too hard, but a clear imprint of his teeth was left behind .
"Remember my words . If you dare to run away again, I won't be as polite as this time . " Not caring about her cold gaze, Li Yan quietly flung those words down and left .
"Eh? Second brother?" Li Shu had just come back from looking around outside . He saw Li Yan coming out from Li Man's hut and was too confused to know how to react .
In contrast, Li Yan smiled and walked over to Li Shu . He patted his younger brother's shoulder and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
"You really were inside there?" Li Shu grabbed him by his clothes .
Li Yan lightly removed his hand . With a slight smile, he said, "She thought there was a mouse in her hut, so I went inside to look . "
"A mouse?"
"It already ran away . "
Hearing their conversation from the inside of the hut, Li Man was so angry that she wanted to laugh . That wicked person's tongue was really too glib .
