A'niu, seeing the situation, felt both proud and excited. He thought what's so great about the big boss of Peach Blossom Town, just a show-off.
"Ms. Sun, today's treatment was just the beginning, the next session will be truly enjoyable. You better save your energy and wait for my next visit," A'niu teased.
As Sun Yingying saw A'niu was actually leaving, she reluctantly said in a soft voice, "I still don't know your name."
"Just call me A'niu," he replied nonchalantly.
"Ah? A...niu?" Sun Yingying didn't expect such a rustic name.
"What? Is my name not good enough to treat you?" A'niu naturally understood what she was thinking.
"No, not at all, Divine Doctor A'niu, this is your treatment fee, there's five hundred thousand in it." Sun Yingying got out of bed, naked, took a bank card from her bag, and stuffed it into A'niu's waistband.
A'niu was very happy, not expecting this woman to be so generous.
With this five hundred thousand, he and Tian Mei could live a happy life together.
Sun Yingying considerately took out two stacks of cash from her bag and coquettishly hung onto A'niu's arm, saying cutely, "This is extra, for the oranges. Send over any other nice fruits whenever you can."
After finishing her sentence, Sun Yingying gave A'niu a suggestive look, winking and grimacing.
A'niu hurriedly left the hotel. The oranges had already been moved out by the hotel staff, and he, pushing his cart, walked briskly towards the village.
There were many clothes and snack vendors along the road. A'niu picked out several beautiful floral dresses, all chosen according to Tian Mei's size, and also bought some candies and preserves, which Tian Mei loved to eat.
A'niu returned to the village with a heart full of joy.
Tian Mei sat distracted in the yard all day, waiting for A'niu, wondering if he was still angry with her.
"Auntie, auntie."
As soon as A'niu entered the yard, he couldn't wait to show the floral dresses to Tian Mei.
Upon seeing A'niu, Tian Mei, disregarding her back pain, rushed forward and hugged him tightly, "A'niu, where have you been? I have been so worried."
A'niu, taken aback by her gesture, froze on the spot. Seeing his frail aunt in his arms, his heart couldn't help but flutter again.
"Aun... Auntie, haven't I come back safely? I went out to make money, so I can provide a better life for you now," he said.
A'niu swallowed hard, restraining the urge rising in him.
"My silly A'niu has really grown up, knows how to earn money now. Come, tell your auntie how you made it," Tian Mei said, realizing she had been a bit too impulsive, quickly let go of A'niu, wiping away her happy tears.
A'niu then recounted the incident of selling oranges and accidentally saving Sun Yingying. Tian Mei listened with her mouth covered, in disbelief.
"She really gave you five hundred thousand?"
"Is there any doubt? Take care of the card, auntie. I can earn many more batches of five hundred thousand," A'niu said as he handed over the card to Tian Mei.
"Just in time, the matchmaker is bringing someone over tomorrow. Once you're married, you can give the card to your wife, and live a good life with her. I'll be at peace then," Tian Mei said, reaching to wipe away another tear.
"Auntie, I've said it before, I don't want anyone but you."
A'niu said as he hugged Tian Mei tight against his body, his hands involuntarily starting to roam.
It didn't take long for the touch to make Tian Mei blush and gasp for air, as she forcefully pushed A'niu away, "A'niu, stop, listen to your auntie."
"You talk; I'm listening." A'niu spoke, but his movements didn't stop; one large hand kept stroking back and forth across Tian Mei's slender waist.
"A'niu." Tian Mei couldn't break free, so she clenched her fists and pounded them against A'niu's chest. But her meager strength felt like tickling against A'niu's sturdy body, only making his heart more restless with desire.
"A'niu.."
Just as Tian Mei raised her head to speak, her mouth was sealed.
A'niu kissed her forcefully, greedily savoring Tian Mei's taste.
Tian Mei's mind went blank. A'niu's large hand firmly supported the back of her head, and she leaned against him limply, soon finding it hard to breathe, gasping for air.
"Mmm." Suddenly, Tian Mei started to sob, throwing A'niu into a panic, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand to cradle her small face.
"Auntie, why are you crying? What did I do wrong? Hit me, but please don't cry."
A'niu clumsily wiped away the tears from Tian Mei's face.
Tian Mei took the opportunity to step back, her face flushed as she looked at the anxious A'niu, her heart filled with compassion, "Good A'niu, I'm doing this for your own good. You must listen to me. The matchmaker will bring someone over tomorrow, and we can't let the villagers gossip."
As she spoke, Tian Mei stepped forward to grasp A'niu's arm. Hearing he was still to be sent away, A'niu violently threw off her hand and roared.
"I don't want anyone else; I won't marry anyone else. Why can't I marry you? Why?"
Tian Mei covered her face and wept softly, tears falling like beads off a string.
Seeing this, A'niu felt a pang of heartache, "Auntie, stop crying. It's my fault for yelling at you like that."
"A'niu, it's really my fault. I should have talked to you about the marriage proposal a long time ago," Tian Mei sobbed on A'niu's shoulder.
"Auntie, let's not talk about this today. I bought a lot of pretty skirts from town for you to try on," A'niu said, eager to divert the conversation from anything that might upset her again.
Tian Mei lowered her head to wipe away tears and gave a bitter smile and a nod.
Before long, Tian Mei came out in a new dress. A'niu, looking at the lovely Tian Mei before him, felt his throat tighten.
"Auntie, you look so beautiful, even better than the women in town."
A'niu said, his eyes wide with admiration.
"A'niu, you're just talking nonsense. I'm over thirty now, what's there to look good?" Tian Mei said, then blushed like a shy young girl and ran back into the house.
A'niu helplessly looked down at his "little A'niu," feeling a bitter taste in his mouth, and turned to walk out of the courtyard.
Ever since he acquired this Divine Power, his body craved immensely, and he found his desires harder and harder to control.
A'niu walked gloomily towards the village's small store.
Tian Mei changed into another skirt and, coming out, found A'niu was no longer there.
Feeling a sense of loss, she leaned against the doorframe, letting the tears fall silently.
A'niu bought two bottles of strong liquor and sat alone on the ridge of the orchard, drinking. With the Divine Power in him, liquor was like drinking water, leaving him unfazed even after a whole bottle.
At that moment, a man covered in fresh blood stumbled towards him, collapsing on the ridge.
The man's cheeks were swollen, and he held his bloody head with one hand, the blood seeping out between his fingers and streaming across his face; his arms and body were also smeared with blood.
He looked quite terrifying.
A'niu took a closer look and recognized the man before him.
