Cheng Susu looked at our frantic activity, puzzled, and asked, “What are you all doing?” Raiski replied, “Renovating the roof, the old structure leaks terribly. Zhao Qian invented a new type of roof. We’ve also established the 'Yuejin Construction Engineering Company' to specialize in roof renovations for others from now on.” “Yuejin Construction Engineering Company?

That name sounds awfully familiar.” Cheng Susu lowered her head in contemplation. How could it not sound familiar? It was her company.

I said, “Susu, come inside. Didn’t I tell you that you owned a company on Earth called Yuejin Construction Engineering Company?” Cheng Susu continued, “I was the general manager there. Later, the place was haunted, and you helped me sort out the problem.” I said cheerfully, “Yes, yes, you finally remember!” Cheng Susu shook her head.

“I finally remember you telling me this the day before yesterday.” I made a wry face and opened the door. “Let’s talk inside.” Cheng Susu looked around and asked me, “You sleep here at night?” I replied, “Yes, where else would I sleep but here?” “You’re working too hard. The conditions here are much worse than at the County Magistrate’s office,” Cheng Susu noted, looking at the straw spread on the floor.

I found a stool and invited her to sit. “It’s nothing. As long as the mission is accomplished, no amount of hardship matters.” Cheng Susu was silent for a moment before saying, “I couldn’t sneak out yesterday.

Let’s begin.” I said, “Begin? What should we start with? I’ve told you everything I need to.

If you’ve forgotten something, I can repeat it.” Cheng Susu seemed prepared. She took out her mobile phone and presented it to me. “How about teaching me how to use this?” That was a good suggestion.

I replied, “Alright, as long as you can read Chinese characters, operating this is very simple. I’ll teach you.” Today, for ease of movement, Cheng Susu wore coarse cloth men's attire. The men’s and women’s clothing here differed little, except that women’s garments featured decorative patterns around the collar, which men’s lacked.

Cheng Susu had tightly bound her G-cup chest with strips of cloth, relying on the loose clothing to conceal it, and had managed to pass unnoticed—no one recognized her as the legendary, captivating celestial fairy. Teaching Cheng Susu to use the phone was remarkably straightforward. However, her phone contained many intimate recordings of us together.

Should I let her watch them or not? After some thought, I asked Cheng Susu, “Susu, there’s something I need to explain to you.” Cheng Susu said, “Go ahead. I believe now that we knew each other before.

It’s just that accepting a man who is currently a complete stranger as my husband is difficult for me to accept.” Though disappointed in my heart, there was something truly gratifying: Cheng Susu’s attitude toward me was no longer as cold as when we first met. Yet, she remained ruthless toward everyone else. This meant she was beginning to trust me.

I said, “I understand. I certainly don’t intend to force you to accept me. This phone has always been with you, hasn’t it?” Cheng Susu nodded.

“Yes, it’s been in my pocket the whole time. After I became the County Magistrate’s adopted daughter, I was quite puzzled as to why I possessed such a strange item. I never expected it to have so many uses.” “Susu, I’m worried about you.

Is your memory deteriorating? It seems you remembered a lot of things before, but today, meeting you, it’s like much of it has been forgotten again.” Cheng Susu said sadly, “What can I do? I must leave it to fate.” Seeing Cheng Susu unhappy saddened me deeply.

Having resolved to save her, I said, “Susu, I haven’t cheated regarding this phone; everything inside was saved by you originally. Now I will teach you how to use it, but I must give you a prior warning about some of the files. If you cannot accept the idea that I was once your husband, then don’t look at them.

It would be terrible if you became angry after viewing them and accused me of fabrication, ruining your reputation.” Cheng Susu clearly didn’t understand why I was saying this, but seeing my seriousness, she nodded. “I understand. Even if I see something that displeases me, I won’t get angry—it’s still my past self.” Having learned how to use the phone, both of us were momentarily at a loss for words.

If she were the original Cheng Susu, I would certainly hold her close and cherish her. But now, she was a different Cheng Susu; any inappropriate action on my part would only earn her contempt. “Then let’s end it for today.

I should return now. Madam Spring still doesn’t know I snuck out. If she finds out, I’ll be lectured again this spring.” Cheng Susu finally stood up.

Though reluctant to see her go, I couldn't find a reason to keep her. “Alright. I plan to venture out in a few days to find the other seven people.

If you feel unsafe staying at the county office, you can come here. Strongman Pills and Linglong will protect you.” “Linglong? That young girl didn't seem very friendly to me earlier.” A hint of a smile touched Cheng Susu’s lips.

Linglong’s small actions in the courtyard hadn't escaped her notice. I chuckled, “Hehe, children sometimes throw little tantrums. But her archery is formidable, and Strongman Pills possesses incredible strength.

With those two by your side, I’d be somewhat relieved.” Cheng Susu took a step but then turned back. “I have the laser gun, so don't worry. When you find the others, can you bring them to see me?

I hope seeing them will help me remember something.” “I will certainly do that. If their escape pods also malfunctioned, I’ll go to the county office and repair that escape pod, and then we can all return to Earth together. There are many sisters waiting for you to return.” Cheng Susu glanced at me without another word, left the room, bid farewell to everyone with Spring, and hurried away.

Raiski and Vahani entered and asked me, “How was it? How was it? Did she remember you?” I shook my head.

“Not that easily. Let’s get back to work.” As Cheng Susu left the alley, the sky began to cloud over. Soon, a rolling peal of thunder echoed, followed by rain falling in large, heavy drops.

It seemed the strange weather here was indeed prone to rain. I hadn't seen Cheng Susu take an umbrella; she was probably halfway back to the county office now. I hastily returned to the room to grab a worn umbrella, likely left by the previous occupant.

It had several leaks, but it was better than nothing. “I’m going out to see if they made it back to the county office. You two hurry inside to take shelter from the rain.” Fortunately, today we were only renovating the four side rooms.

If the roof of the main hall had been dismantled, the rain would have made things truly chaotic. I rushed out along the path leading to the county office to catch up with them. The rain intensified, and pedestrians on the road quickly sought cover.

Soon, I spotted two slender figures wearing straw hats under an eave ahead. ***……***Spring cursed, “This damned weather! It was sunny moments ago, and now it’s pouring rain.” Cheng Susu stood with her arms crossed.

“Indeed. The weather here is quite terrible.” Spring wiped the rain from her face. “Our clothes are soaked through; this is a disaster.

Luckily, I put on two extra layers underneath, or I would be mortified!” Prompted by Spring, Cheng Susu discreetly glanced down at her own body from under her arm. She gasped in dismay; the blush on her face was almost enough to dry the rain. Because she had wrapped her chest tightly with white cloth, she had only worn one outer coat and trousers to avoid looking bulky.

Now, soaked by the rain, the fabric clung tightly to her body. Her shapely rear was outlined in a deep, dark shade, and though her high breasts were somewhat compressed by the binding cloth, the clinging fabric revealed the voluptuous curves of her flesh—two tempting peaks that were undeniably arresting. Cheng Susu used her straw hat to cover the dark outline in front of her, while wrapping one arm around her chest.

She stammered, “Spring, let’s just walk through the rain. Being here is making me very uncomfortable.” Spring looked at the three men taking shelter under the same eave. “Yes, they seem to have recognized that we are girls.

Let’s find somewhere else. I heard the servants say that Feiyu County has poor public security.” Unfortunately, before the two women could leave the eaves, the three men sheltering nearby surrounded them. “Two young ladies, heading out disguised as men?

Why not stay? It’s pouring rain; you’ll catch cold. Sirs, we would be heartbroken!” Spring snapped at the three men, “Move aside!

This lady is the County Magistrate’s adopted daughter! Who dares to act presumptuously!” The three men seemed unconvinced that the Magistrate’s adopted daughter would be caught in the rain here. One large brute said, “Who are you trying to fool?

If you are the Magistrate’s adopted daughter, then I’m his adopted son! We’d make a fine match.” Cheng Susu intended to ignore the trio and slip past them. After all, exposing her figure while drenched in the street was an embarrassment few could comprehend.

Who knew that a thin man nearby had already fixed his gaze on her? The moment Cheng Susu moved to slip away, the thin man moved to block her path, bumping into her. “Little lady, where are you rushing off to?

Since fate has brought us together today, why not stay and have some fun? It’s raining too hard for anyone to see. How about the three of us treat you to a couple of cups?

We have a cozy spot near the city gate. After drinking, we can go have some fun,” the thin man leered seductively, his eyes drifting toward Cheng Susu’s pert backside—white, round, and bouncy. Smack!

Unable to bear the thin man’s vulgar propositions, Cheng Susu slapped him in a fit of rage. But unexpectedly, as she raised her hand, she completely exposed her chest to the three men. Those two impossibly full mounds of flesh, topped with two cherries enticing enough to swallow whole, jiggled violently with her sharp movement!

Thump! The crotches of the three men immediately sprang upright. One reacted quickly; he roared, pulled down his trousers, and a hideous erection, starkly visible since neither men nor women here wore underwear, shot straight up.

“Damn it, I never thought I’d run into such a stunning beauty while taking shelter from the rain! Heaven truly pities the three of us! This wench is too damn alluring!” Spring, seeing this fellow brazenly expose himself in public, was too young and inexperienced.

It was the first time she had seen a real man’s member, and she was so shocked she let out a scream like a slaughtered pig. Windows in nearby houses opened as people peeked out. Upon seeing the three known ruffians, they quickly shut their windows tight again.

Cheng Susu knew the danger, but she hadn't brought her laser gun with her for the sake of her disguise today. What was she to do now? The exhibitionist gave Cheng Susu no time to consider.

He swallowed hard, grabbed his own erect member with one hand, and began stroking himself while walking toward the pale-faced Cheng Susu. Cheng Susu held the straw hat in front of her to cover her rear with one hand while tightly guarding her chest with the other. In this moment of extreme peril, she suddenly felt a familiar sensation, as if a voice deep in her heart were telling her, Don't be afraid.

You are my woman. I will protect you with my life. The large brute also yanked down his pants, revealing a crooked member.

He roared, “I’ll take this girl first! You two take that slut! Look at her body, ripe like a peach—she can handle all three of us!” Cheng Susu suddenly opened her eyes without fear.

She spoke to the exhibitionist word by word, “Get away from me right now! Or he will kill you!” The exhibitionist burst into laughter. Hands on hips, he thrust his ugly cock forward and turned to the thin man, “Lao San, I can’t believe someone in Feiyu County dares speak to us Three Saints like that.

Heh heh, this wench has huge tits. I’ll take the first taste. If you can’t hold back, go ahead and squeeze her tits a bit.

If you like it, you can give her a titty bang... Ouch!” The shaft of an umbrella, propelled by the rain, shot forth like lightning and struck the exhibitionist squarely on his groin. The exhibitionist let out a scream that was cut short.

His erection, which had stood tall like a cannon barrel, immediately drooped like a sunflower with a broken stalk. Before his scream ended, a foot kicked him hard in the lower abdomen, splashing rainwater from the ground. The second half of his cry was choked back.

Clutching his groin, he collapsed into the rainwater, his eyes bulging like fish bladders from the pain. The thin man turned to flee when he saw how fiercely the newcomer attacked, but how could I let him escape? Although my superpowers were gone, the close-quarters combat skills honed in the military remained.

I stuck out my leg, tripping the man, and he tumbled onto the ground. I was wearing the exceptionally sturdy leather shoes I brought from Earth. I brought my foot down hard toward his temple.

Blood immediately streamed from his mouth and nose, and he was utterly still. I knew my current strength was nothing like before, so I went for a killing blow immediately. Furthermore, those three bastards were trying to defile Cheng Susu; I would kill them even if it cost me my life!

I didn't care about the law regarding murder here. Anyone who bullies my woman, Zhao Qian, has only one outcome: death! My attack was lightning-fast, but I couldn't strike all three simultaneously.

The big brute was the furthest away, and he seemed the strongest. However, my two sneak attacks had made him alert. He pulled up his trousers and rushed toward me with a roar.

With my current strength, kicking the big brute down was impossible. I abandoned conventional fighting and rushed forward to wrestle him, pulling him down into the rainwater. We rolled several times on the ground, but ultimately, due to my lack of strength, the big brute pinned me on top.

Bang, bang! Two punches left me seeing stars. When had I ever endured such abuse?

But the cursed wormhole had absorbed all my power. It was a miracle I had taken down two others through surprise attack. This big brute had three times my strength.

I struggled hopelessly. After a few blows, I was half-conscious. The big brute was concerned about his two fallen brothers on the ground.

Seeing I was unresponsive, he got up to check the thin man, only to find the thin man bleeding from all seven orifices—dead. He roared in fury and then looked at the exhibitionist, whose testicles had been crushed; the man was rolling his eyes and barely breathing. “Damn it, it’s all because of you, you slut!

I’ll rape you to avenge my two brothers!” The big brute charged toward Cheng Susu in a rage. I gritted my teeth and struggled up from the ground. My head, dazed by the downpour, made it hard to tell direction.

Hearing Cheng Susu’s sharp cry, I charged forward blindly. Bang! I collided squarely with the charging brute.

We both stumbled back a few steps and fell heavily into the rainwater. I roared, “Go, Susu!” Cheng Susu had clearly recognized who had come to her rescue. A wave of indescribable emotion surged in her heart—a feeling so familiar, making her feel safe and wonderfully happy.

She blurted out, “No! I’m not going. I want to be with you!” Cheng Susu’s words ignited me with excitement.

I flipped over and scrambled up from the ground. Today, either the big brute died, or I did. Whoever gained the initiative had a chance to survive.

If I died, it wouldn't matter much, but Cheng Susu would be implicated. So, I couldn't die; the big brute had to die and join his two brothers! I patted my waist.

Damn it, I had left my military knife and laser gun back in the room for easier access to the roof. Now I was in trouble. I couldn't possibly beat the big brute in a fight, especially since he was enraged now.

I was likely doomed this time. The big brute saw me rise from the ground and laughed heartily. “Good!

You managed to kill my two brothers, you brat! Go keep them company!” With that, the big brute charged at me again. I gritted my teeth and met his charge.

“Susu, run! Or we’ll both die here! Hurry back and call for help!

If anything happens to me, I beg you, find the other seven and return to Earth—run!” The brute’s momentum was immense. The charge sent us both rolling into the rainwater again. I exerted every ounce of strength, but I was still pinned beneath him.

The big brute didn’t understand our Mandarin, but he could see our relationship was unusual. He punched my mouth crookedly and sneered, “Who is this slut to you? Since you caused the death of my two brothers, I’ll let you taste the pain of losing a loved one.

I won’t kill you yet. I’ll make you watch as I rape this bitch!” With that, the big brute released me and lunged for Cheng Susu. My mouth was too painful to speak.

I leaned on a nearby object to steady myself, wiped the blood and rain from my eyes, and heard Cheng Susu’s sharp cry, followed by Spring’s angry shouting. I forced my eyes open: the big brute was just about to attack Cheng Susu’s chest, and she was fighting back desperately. I staggered forward, grabbed the big brute’s leg, shouted, and yanked him over, sending him sprawling into the rain.

I immediately mounted him and hammered away at his head and face. However, the man was incredibly tough; my blows failed to reach any vital points. The brute managed to flip over, pinning me beneath him, resulting in me taking a flurry of punches and kicks.

The big brute finally stopped hitting when the person beneath him showed no reaction. After all that exertion, he was exhausted. He staggered to his feet, ready to move on Cheng Susu, when his legs suddenly buckled, and one foot slipped out from under him.

With a thud, he fell into the rain. The big brute cursed, “Damn it, what are you made of? Why won’t you die?

Let’s see how many more hits you can take!” In truth, I was already at my limit. My body felt alien, refusing to obey my brain's commands. But there was a firm conviction in my mind: I absolutely would not let him touch a single hair on Cheng Susu’s head unless I was dead.

The two of us engaged in a seesaw battle. Finally, the big brute’s arms went soft from the struggle. He leaned over me and said, “Your bones are hard, brat, I admire that.

But you killed my two brothers, so our feud is settled. Since you’ve entangled yourself with me today, I’ll send you to the heavens first!” Saying this, the big brute picked up a stone from the ground, ready to smash it onto my head. I was utterly powerless, unable to even twitch a finger, and watched helplessly as the sharp-edged stone descended toward my skull.

Suddenly, there was a thump, followed by a muffled grunt from the big brute. He fell with a splash into the rainwater, completely silent. A stream of blood flowed from the back of his head into the puddle, quickly dyeing the water a bright crimson.

Cheng Susu stood before me, panting, holding a stone even larger than the one the big brute held. All three ruffians were finished. Finally, I could relax.

“Susu, thank you for saving me.” Cheng Susu immediately dropped the stone with a smack. She knelt beside me and helped me up. “How are you?

Are you seriously hurt? Fool, I should be thanking you. If it weren’t for you, I would have…” “No!

No one can touch you! Unless I’m dead!” I roared, spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva. “Are you… are you really my husband?

Otherwise, why would you be so good to me?” Cheng Susu asked, then realized their posture was highly intimate. Her clothes were completely soaked through, making them almost transparent. Lying nestled against her full bosom was a man who was a stranger to her, yet at this moment, she felt not the slightest aversion to him.

I said, “Why talk of that now? Regardless of our past relationship, I promised to protect your safety last night, and I succeeded. Put on my coat and return to the county office first.

I killed three men today; I might face official pursuit. You stay safe at the county office and wait for me to find the other women before I come back for you. Go now.”

Struggling, I managed to get to my feet. This was no place to linger. Though my body screamed in protest, rendering movement nearly impossible, I knew I had to drag myself away at all costs, or the danger would become insurmountable. With a monumental effort, I managed to strip off my own outer garments and tie them around Cheng Susu’s chest, just enough to cover her breasts and lower body.

Cheng Susu said,

“Don’t be afraid. Madam is very kind to me, and Magistrate An won't hold you accountable. Besides, I was the one who killed the other one; I won't let you take the blame alone.”

Before I could try to persuade Cheng Susu further, Constable Sun arrived, leading a throng of people splashing their way through the pouring rain. Leading them, surprisingly, was the maid, Chuntian; she had finally regained her senses amidst the chaos and managed to slip back to the county yamen to summon help.
