The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1231

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231
In the early morning, gentle sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and into the room.
Lin Yifan opened his eyes; it was already past five o’clock.
By rural standards, it was time to get to work in the fields.
He glanced at the empty space beside him; Xu Fengxian was already gone somewhere.
Lin Yifan didn’t move; he remained lying in bed.
His eyes stared at the ceiling while his mind was pondering questions.
"Scoundrel brother, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Fengxian quietly pushed open the door and, seeing Lin Yifan awake, immediately pounced over.
She curled up adorably in his arms like a little cat.
"Have you heard about the plans to develop Black Bear Valley?"
Holding the delicate Xu Fengxian and smelling her fragrant hair, Lin Yifan asked.
"Of course I’ve heard of it; the village has been hoping for this for years. They say once the road is completed, it will be turned into a tourist area. That’s when Taoyuan Village will be right at the entrance, and many are already planning to open homestays and restaurants. Just the other day, Wang the Fifth’s family and Old Xu Family had a fierce fight over the land foundation issue."
Xu Fengxian nodded.
"And if I want to stop this from happening, do you think I could succeed?"
Lin Yifan turned his head, looking at Xu Fengxian.
This sort of thing he couldn’t say to others; she was the only one who wouldn’t betray him.
"Stop it? Blocking people’s path to money is like killing their parents. Don’t be fooled by the whole village treating you well; if they find out you’re blocking their earnings, forget about just your clinic—even your old house will be overturned. This isn’t a joke. Besides, not even Lin Family would support you, except for me and Xizhu in the village."
Xu Fengxian originally wanted to ask why, but she restrained her curiosity.
She simply told Lin Yifan the outcome.
"So this is quite difficult to manage."
Lin Yifan nodded; it was as he had predicted.
"It certainly won’t be easy, unless..."
Xu Fengxian whispered in Lin Yifan’s ear, lowering her voice.
"Unless you sleep with all the old women in the village, then it would work."
Xu Fengxian’s words made Lin Yifan roll his eyes.
But suddenly his eyes lit up.
"You’re not wrong at all."
Pinching Xu Fengxian’s cheek, Lin Yifan suddenly got up.
He seemed to have thought of a good idea.
"What, are you really planning to do that? There’s more than a hundred old women in the village. Not only would you not be able to handle them all, but could you really deal with those in their fifties or sixties?"
Xu Fengxian stared at Lin Yifan in shock, asking incredulously.
"What are you talking about? I’m not some breeding pig. I just thought of a good idea. Who said scenic beauty must become a tourist area? With these mountains full of Heavenly Essence and Earthly Splendor, if they could be refined into beautifying elixirs, no one would dare disturb this soil."
Lin Yifan replied, smiling mysteriously.
In this way, not only would the issue of developing a tourist area be resolved.
He would also have a legitimate business.
"Alchemy? Are you really a celestial being?"
Xu Fengxian asked, pulling Lin Yifan’s arm.
"Who said alchemy can only be done by celestial beings? There’s plenty of records about alchemy in traditional Chinese medicine, and many pills today are considered elixirs too."
Lin Yifan replied, laughing.
"I said Dong Jiufeng was talking nonsense, claiming that when you saved her, there was a huge snake below you supporting you. I think she must have been seeing things."
Xu Fengxian suddenly remembered Dong Jiufeng’s insistence.
"Even if a big snake did support you, it might not necessarily be a divine task, right?"
Lin Yifan smiled mysteriously without saying much.
After all, some things are simply beyond her comprehension.
"Right, right, I’ve witnessed your skills now. A man like you could never be satisfied with just one woman. You should work on winning over the village flower soon."
Xu Fengxian teased with a mischievous smile.
"Don’t be like those gossipy women who just spread rumors; I saved Xiao Cui as part of my job."
Lin Yifan pinched Xu Fengxian’s cheek.
"Of course I won’t spread rumors. But do you know where these rumors come from? It’s Xiao Cui’s mother, Li Guixiang, who’s going around the village these days. Her parents act like they own the place, telling everyone about your medical prowess—not only did you cure her snake bite, but also her emotional troubles, saying you often chat privately. The way they see it, it’s as if they’ve accepted you as their son-in-law."
Xu Fengxian smirked and stuck out her tongue playfully.
The words made Lin Yifan feel increasingly awkward.
Firstly, he and Xiao Cui indeed had a bit of a relationship.
Secondly, Liu Family treated him way too intimately.
"Alright, once her wounds heal, she’ll rest a few days before heading back to Provincial City for school; then there’ll be nothing to worry about."
Lin Yifan would not let personal feelings hinder Xiao Cui’s education.
But right now, with the kidnapping case unresolved, he was still somewhat concerned about her leaving.
He could only keep an eye on Captain Song’s progress.
"Are you really willing to let that little girl go? Nineteen is the prime age; her lovely face is a temptation even to me. If she goes to the Provincial City, she might soon end up with someone else. Aren’t you worried?"
Xu Fengxian pouted.
"If she’s yours, no one can take her away; if she’s not, you won’t be able to keep her. Precisely because she’s at her prime, it’s the perfect time to go out and see the world. I won’t be selfish; after all, love at her age isn’t genuine."
Lin Yifan bit her tender, tempting lips.
Xu Fengxian’s silent dedication did not go unnoticed by him.
"Ring, ring, ring!"
Just as morning exercises were about to begin, the telephone suddenly rang.
Looking at the caller ID, it was Boss Liu.
"Aren’t you going to answer your father-in-law’s call?"
Xu Fengxian mischievously handed the phone to Lin Yifan.
While he answered the call, she obediently snuggled into his embrace.
Her soft little hands kept caressing Lin Yifan’s body.
That touch of fragrant lips boldly kissed Lin Yifan’s strong chest.
"You little scoundrel."
Being flirted with by Xu Fengxian, Lin Yifan found himself helpless.
He could only press the answer button while rolling over.
"Hello, Yifan, I went to the clinic but you weren’t there, then went to your home but couldn’t find you either, where are you?"
On the phone, Boss Liu asked knowingly.
Right now, who in the village doesn’t know about Lin Yifan and Xu Fengxian’s affair?
If it were urgent, he’d have knocked on the door long ago.
"I went out to gather some herbs, Uncle Liu, what’s the matter?"
Enduring Xu Fengxian’s teasing, Lin Yifan tried to regulate his breathing.
"Oh, early this morning, Xiao Cui said her wounds hurt a lot. She wanted to wait since you don’t get up so early, but just now told me the pain is unbearable, so I called you. Whenever convenient, please come to my house to check on Xiao Cui’s wounds."
Boss Liu’s words made Lin Yifan frown slightly.
This didn’t feel right.
