Zhang Shuying smiled bitterly, hanging his head, "Su Wan, if you don't mind, just take it with you! After all, it likes to follow you."
"Are you kidding me? That's half your life!" My hair nearly stood on end.
The Golden Silkworm Gu could not stray too far from Zhang Shuying, and Zhang Shuying couldn't bear to part with the Golden Silkworm Gu either.
If they were separated for too long, his body would suffer greatly.
Zhang Shuying, solemn-faced, said, "I'm not joking. If the bug stays with you, I might get hurt, but a little rest and recuperation should do the trick... Anyway, I'm just idling around in the mountains..."
"So by your logic, you want to use healing as a way to pass the time? I think you're just bored out of your mind, sick from doing nothing!" I glared fiercely at Zhang Shuying, then explained to him sensibly, "In life, as mountains and rivers are destined to meet, next time we encounter each other, Xiao Yuanyuan will still see me, and I'll meet Xiao Yuanyuan again."
The Bearded Man seemed surprised, "If we meet again in the future, will you still pay attention to us?"
He had finally taken his turn to wear the Blood Splendor Robe from Uncle Zhong, and the bleeding from his wounds had stopped.
"Why wouldn't I care? Didn't we clear up the previous misunderstanding?" I asked, puzzled by the Bearded Man's question.
The Bearded Man, touched and reluctant to part, said, "Miss Su Wan, your fried dough cakes are so delicious, we probably won't get to eat them again in our lifetimes once you leave."
"How about it, Miss Su Wan, why don't you stay a few more days?" Uncle Zhong suggested.
The Bearded Man's eyes shone brightly, "That would be great, Miss Su Wan. Before you came, we ate pigswill every day!"
"Do you think my wife is just a... cook? Try and tempt her again." Yu Longting slowly let out an air of deadly seriousness.
The Bearded Man and Uncle Zhong both flinched, not daring to utter another word.
After finishing breakfast.
Su Wan and Yu Longting followed Zhang Shuying to retrieve her ID and phone from the small courtyard.
They saw Zhang Shuying open the drawer in the room she had slept in and took out all of her things.
Not just her phone and ID, but also her sachet, handkerchief, cloth puppet, strips of cloth...
It didn't seem like much before.
But now, it seemed like she always carried as much as a Hundred Treasures Bag.
"Uh, Zhang Shuying, you kept my things in such an obvious place?" I asked, a bit astonished.
Wasn't he afraid I would find them?
Zhang Shuying glanced at me and said, "With your intelligence, you wouldn't have found them anyway, so it makes no difference where I put them."
"What makes you say that?" I challenged, not convinced.
Zhang Shuying laughed, "So did you find them?"
Me: "..."
I was outsmarted by my own stupidity once again.
Why does everyone keep picking on my intelligence?
I said nothing further.
Silently, I stuffed all these odds and ends into the Taoist robe.
The robe was supposed to be returned to Zhang Shuying, but obviously, I couldn't just take it off—I couldn't very well walk out wearing a cheongsam.
The slits in the cheongsam were too high, and it was very form-fitting and sexy.
Walking down the street in this rustic place, I'd be mistaken for a madwoman.
Yu Longting couldn't bear to watch me cram everything into my robe and voluntarily took some of the items to lighten my load.
Zhang Shuying escorted us down the mountain and asked Yu Longting one final question before parting, "Snake Lord, is Su Wan really your woman?"
"Why do you ask?" Yu Longting responded.
Zhang Shuying said, "Nothing, I just thought so. Yun Hao is simply not worthy of her! Nor worthy to have her bear a Snake Baby! If it's you, I would wholeheartedly accept."
"Su Wan is my wife," Yu Longting pronounced each word distinctly.
Zhang Shuying merely smiled faintly, standing inside the mountain gate, saying nothing more.
Su Wan and Yu Longting had just stepped outside the mountain's boundary.
They came face to face with Yun Hao, who had a slight chill in his gaze, "Snake Lord, so you've come in person after all."
