"Um."
Shen Zhao nodded.
"That's good. Auntie, let's go back together. Tell me what happened while you're at it."
Yin Chaomu took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you slowly on the way."
So the two of them walked side by side slowly toward Xiliang.
On the way, Yin Chaomu told Shen Zhao in detail how Su Yunying had established her authority on the Great Wilderness Grassland during this period, and how she eventually made the entire Northern Wilderness Clan willingly acknowledge her as their master.
Shen Zhao listened without saying a word, his eyes narrowed as if he were thinking about something.
Just as the two stepped into the border of Xiliang, Yin Chaomu said, "Walking like this is too slow. It'll be faster to use spiritual energy directly."
The war in Xiliang is now almost over.
Just as Yin Chaomu was about to transform into a phoenix and fly away, Shen Zhao suddenly called out to her: "Auntie,
Your face is covered in tear stains; it wouldn't look good if Yunying saw it.
Please wait a moment while I take care of it for you.
As he spoke, Shen Zhao took out a white handkerchief from his storage ring and poured some water on it.
Then it slowly reached towards Yin Chaomu's cheek.
"No need, I can do it myself."
Yin Chaomu hurriedly tried to grab the white handkerchief from Shen Zhao's hand.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhao stopped her, saying, "Auntie, please let me show my respect to you this once."
Meeting Shen Zhao's ambiguous gaze, Yin Chaomu felt a slight chill run down her spine.
From the very beginning, he felt that his son-in-law seemed a bit off, staying unusually close to him the whole way, sometimes almost touching him.
But for some reason, she didn't feel disgusted by this feeling; on the contrary, she would feel a strange flutter every time Shen Zhao got close to her.
It was as if something strange about him was attracting me.
When Shen Zhao offered to wash his face, Yin Zhaomu hesitated at first, but when she saw his expectant eyes, she nodded.
Anyway, he's our son-in-law, practically a son to us, so there's nothing wrong with him washing his mother-in-law's face.
"Alright then, but we need to hurry, I'm afraid Yunying will worry."
"Yes, I promise it will be quick."
As she spoke, Shen Zhao considerately placed a damp cloth on Yin Chaomu's tear-streaked cheeks.
Yin Chaomu instinctively closed her eyes, savoring Shen Zhao's caresses.
Little did they know, a lewd smile crept onto Shen Zhao's face at that moment.
He thought to himself, "What a beauty! The Great Dao has truly shown me mercy, giving me such a chance to break my fast. I will definitely cherish it."
