"Big brother, this cup of wine I toast to you! I wish our Black Wind Village a prosperous new year, capturing even more mountaintops!"

"Rob more passing merchants, kill more soldiers and officials, seize more food, and sleep with more young women and wives!"

"Our Black Wind Village has become the number one village in the Green Forest!"

The second-in-command, as sturdy and imposing as an iron tower, raised his large bowl and toasted the head of the family at the main seat.

The Big Boss raised his bowl, his gaze sweeping across the brothers before him, a gentle smile on his face.

"I'm not like the second master who likes to say auspicious words."

"Brothers, exalt me and let me sit in this first seat."

"As for anything else, I can't make any guarantees. But, brothers, follow me, and I'll make sure you have meat to eat, wine to drink, money to spend, and women to sleep with!"

"Tonight is the Lantern Festival, brothers, let's drink till we are happy! I'll raise a toast first!"

“The Big Boss is right, brothers! Let’s raise a toast to the Big Boss!”

The sound of boisterous drinking and guessing games from earlier had drifted to a shed in the backyard.

The door to the junk room was chained shut with iron.

A burning pine torch was stuck in a hole in the wall.

Under the roof beams, two men were shackled with iron chains.

His body was covered in welts from being whipped.

One man, with a twisted scar that ran across half his face, stood out.

This man is Li Damo.

"Damn it, they're drinking and eating meat for Lantern Festival today, while we're stuck here getting punished. It's really infuriating!"

Li Dajian gritted his teeth.

A middle-aged man with a bald head on the side sneered: "Whose fault is it? Isn't it our own bad luck!"

"The Big Boss is sending us down the mountain to investigate that man and woman you mentioned."

“I missed being right next to Changping Village both times, and it's a shame that the mission was messed up because of it,”

"The Second-in-Command wanted to kill us, but the First-in-Command said that no one could be harmed in Taizu month, otherwise we wouldn't be able to speak here!"

A bald man said.

“Who knows, after the New Year is over, our brains might just move house!”

When Li Dadao heard this, he was both afraid and angry.

“It’s not our fault, Bald Brother!”

Li Dadao said.

"The first time I went down the mountain, I met a soldier. We fought all the way, both of us badly injured, and we ran back to the village."

>The second time he went down the mountain, he met a merchant on the road.

“We two managed to take down that servant. We thought we could earn some merit by robbing the merchant's silver.”

>Who knows, a giant python suddenly appeared and swallowed the merchant and his money whole.

>

“If we hadn’t run fast, we would have been turned into snake dung by now!”

“Alas, it's our own bad luck that we've suffered two setbacks!” Li Dajiao shook his head.

The bald man said, "It doesn't matter what we say, it's useless. What can we do? It's up to the big boss above us."

"Just wait, all of you. Wait until after the Lunar New Year is over. Whether it's killing or chopping will naturally be clear!"

After the Lantern Festival, the year is coming to an end.

Sixteen, Yang Ruqing and Luofeng Tang went to town.

He went to the county office with Jin Wencai. The office was set up in the town to handle documents and contracts.

"Sign your name or mine?"

Yang Ruqing asked Luofengtang.

Here's the translated text: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Whatever is signed by someone, will automatically be registered under the signatory's name in the official records and become their legal property.

"Of course I'll sign your name," Lu Fengtang said without hesitation.

Yang Ruqing smiled and playfully said, “Then in the future if I become a wealthy tycoon, won't you still have nothing under your name?”

He laughed: “I don’t need to register assets under my name. You are my wife, and you are mine entirely.”

Yang Ruqing was speechless.

This kid is good at abacus!

She, along with the entire tavern, belonged to him.

He is the biggest winner behind the scenes.

“Well, then I’ll go in and sign my name!” she said.

“Well, I'll go in with you!”

Both parties signed the contract. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Three copies, each party keeps one.

There is also a copy submitted to the government office for record.

One hundred and forty taels of silver, the goods are settled.

Thus, Yang Ruqing finally had her first piece of property under her own name.

Holding the key, he returned to the inn.

In the vast hall, there were only her and Luofeng Tang.

At this moment, there are no outsiders.

The composure and calmness that had been present during the initial signing

were now gone, as if a mask had been ripped away.

She broke into a joyful smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation...

In every corner of the wine house, he looked around and ran upstairs, pushing open the doors to each private room.

Standing by the window, overlooking the street below...

The early spring wind blew in through the open window, refreshing and invigorating.

Luo Fengtang followed behind her, passing through each elegant room.

Her gaze swept over every inch of the tavern.

His gaze, however, never left her person.

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags intact: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

At this moment, seeing the young girl standing by the window, the wind tousled her hair.

The corner of his lips that was raised, the smile he drew, made him intoxicated.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

It also gave him comfort.

It's been a long time since I've seen Qinger this happy.

Everything, finally, cleared up after the rain.

"Tang Ya Zi, I'm so happy, really…"

She turned around happily, but bumped into a broad chest.

At some point, he arrived behind her.

>

She turned around and threw herself into his arms.

She rubbed her slightly sore nose and was just about to lift her head.

Abruptly, a tightness seized her waist, and a surge of power sent her spinning to the ground.

Her back was pressed against the wall behind her.

>

On his cheek, his palm pressed against the wall behind her.

She was accused of being between him and the wall.

"Tang Ya Zi…"

As soon as she opened her mouth, her chin was suddenly grasped and lifted by him.

Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!

His tall form towered over her, his scorching lips pressing against hers...

'Boom...'

Something in her head exploded.

After a brief pause, her cheeks flushed crimson.

Is this...a wall kiss?

I didn't have the time to think about her.

His kiss, at first, was merely a taste.

Then he gently moved his lips away from hers.

This is a test.

Is this it then?

She felt a faint sense of loss in her heart.

Suddenly, he hugged her tightly in his arms.

The hot lips pressed down again.

Like a raging storm, it ravaged her lips...

The height difference made her tiptoe and crane her neck, which was very difficult.

He chuckled softly, scooping her up in his arms, her feet landing on his insteps.

With one hand gripping her nape and the other supporting her waist, he deepened the kiss...

Lost track of time,

Forgot everything.

...until both were satisfied, looking at her lips which were slightly swollen and a little chapped.

He smiled and whispered in her ear, "You look so beautiful in this sunshine!"

Yang Ruqing glared at him, wiping her slightly fiery lips.

Stared at him again.

"I've taught you through words and actions so many times, yet you still act like a wild boar rooting around! You're such an idiot!" she said.

He grinned, a mischievous smile creeping across his face.

It doesn't matter if it's a wild boar or anything else, as long as it can dig into her territory, it's fine!

She jumped down from his foot.

hit the ground.

Then, the difference in altitude became very apparent all of a sudden.
