Drip by drip, water droplets fell from the eaves.
When the sunlight hit them, the refracted light was somewhat dazzling.
Zhang Shuying sighed as he looked at the colorful water droplets, "For this matter, you involved Yun Hao and Immortal Liu? At the time, I wondered why Yun Hao, a dead snake, didn't just hide away and cultivate properly but instead chased after me for a lousy box."
"I'm not stupid. After the soul of the Ancestor of Foxes was split, it had Three Souls and Seven Spirits; I'd wear out my legs trying to find it all by myself." Yu Longting spoke of using others to his advantage with absolutely no guilt.
With his back to Yu Longting, Zhang Shuying pointed out constructively, "Don't think I can't see it. You're mainly worried that after you run out of fuel and your light goes out, no one will protect Su Wan, right? You're in a rush to solve problems that might occur down the line... that's actually quite deeply affectionate."
"It's just laziness, nothing else. Many people wish for my demise, but when have I ever been completely wiped out?" Yu Longting haughtily snorted.
"Damn, fate is too damn miraculous. I was originally the person guarding the Remnant Soul, and now I'm on the pirate ship, helping you destroy the Ancestral Fox's Remnant Soul. Lin Gang is still my drinking buddy, but now we have to turn against each other, damn... chicken..."
Zhang Shuying probably felt indignant, turning his head abruptly, hands on his hips, cursing.
But he stopped abruptly when he caught sight of me behind him.
I was caught eavesdropping, so I shrugged and turned to sneak away, "Uh, you guys are talking about me, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with listening, right?"
My collar was grabbed from behind, and I became a fish on the chopping block, unable to escape no matter how much I struggled, "Hey, let go, Yu Longting! If you keep holding on to me, I might get angry."
"Good, I've never seen my lady wife angry at me before, would love to see it happen," Yu Longting casually said from behind.
With Zhang Shuying by my side, I was being toyed with and clapped, my face flushing red, "You're truly hopeless, still hoping to see me get angry? You want me to get mad, but I won't! Let go already, what are you trying to do by holding on to me? You can't possibly want to... to abuse me at home, can you?"
I felt like a little mouse who had just stolen oil, caught by the tail by the homeowner.
I struggled furiously and embarrassedly, but it was as futile as an ant shaking a tree.
Yu Longting easily pulled me into his arms, "Really? Wanwan, if I were to abuse you at home, your delicate frame couldn't handle it."
"You... stop talking nonsense." I was so embarrassed I could hardly contain myself, almost scratching him on the spot.
Zhang Shuying, giving me a bit of dignity, didn't continue to watch my embarrassing situation but left nonchalantly with a wave, "Lin Gang is too cunning. Before meeting him, there's much to plan ahead. I'll take my leave; you two continue as a couple."
My clawing gestures slightly paused as I watched Zhang Shuying's departing figure.
I just felt that Zhang Shuying was truly honorable, having once unhesitatingly swung his sword to destroy the Ancestral Fox's Remnant Soul to save me.
Now, without a second word, he directly went to confront Lin Gang.
"Don't feel too guilty, I gave him a Snake Dragon Inner Pill, which could buy Lin Gang ten times over; Taoist Zhang definitely made a profit," Yu Longting whispered in my ear.
I silently nodded, my hand held by Yu Longting as he said, "Beichen's car is here."
"I haven't said goodbye to Old Man Gu and his family yet," I paused, saying to Yu Longting.
Yu Longting smiled, "You developed feelings after staying just one night? Go on then."
"It'll be quick, mainly to say goodbye to Sister Tian Na." I ran to find Tian Na who was in the kitchen steaming corn buns.
Seeing me come over, she happily took out the steaming buns for me, "Take these to eat on the road."
"Thank you, Sister Tian Na. I... don't have any proper presents to give you, but this sachet can keep you safe. Here, I'll give it to you." I only had one protective sachet left, hanging on my neck since getting it back from Zhang Shuying.
At that moment, I took off the sachet from my neck and hung it around Tian Na's neck.
