"What do you mean by 'like this'?" Zu'an was confused. And what was with that shy expression on her face? It didn't seem like she was being serious about what she meant by "like this".
“That’s how it is,” Tang Tian’er said, her cheeks flushed slightly. “This is how you heal my wounds.”
Zuan was speechless for a moment: "You only heal me when I'm injured? Do you expect me to heal you when I'm not?"
“You can always beat me up badly first,” Tang Tian’er said matter-of-factly.
Zuan: "???"
This girl looks pretty and normal, how could she have the potential to be a submissive?
Noticing his expression, Tang Tian'er knew he had misunderstood and hurriedly said, "It's not what you think, it's just that... it's just that it's very comfortable... very peaceful."
"Comfortable?" Zu An almost laughed. "Are you sick? You were seriously injured and you still feel comfortable?"
"Oh dear, it's not that I'm injured, it's that I'm being treated. When you were treating me..." Tang Tian'er twisted her body, "I felt warm all over... It was an experience I'd never had before."
Zu An was stunned. He wasn't a blockhead; he just hadn't thought about it that way before. But now, seeing the other person's flushed cheeks and hesitant expression, he realized he had seen it on Chu Yan and the others before.
Could it be that healing someone after reaching the fourth level of the Primordial Chaos Sutra has such an effect?
In my past life, those blue pills were initially developed to treat heart disease, but it turned out that the side effects would cause men to have... well, you know... so their main purpose was no longer to treat heart disease, but instead they were put on the market to save men.
Zaun was completely bewildered. Why hadn't he felt the effects of the Primordial Chaos Qi before?
What will I do if I have to treat men in the future?
The thought of a grown man giving him seductive glances sent shivers down his spine.
Tang Tian'er grabbed his hand and placed it on her body, saying resentfully, "You stopped again."
Zuan: "..."
Why do I feel like I've been taken advantage of?
Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Lord Zu, Lord Sang has returned and requests your presence to discuss matters."
Given Sang Hong's relationship with Zu An, he could have come directly to him. However, there are rules in officialdom, and with so many people watching on the ship, it would be inappropriate for Sang Hong, who holds a higher official position, to go to his subordinate's room on his own initiative, as it would easily arouse suspicion.
“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Zu’an said to Tang Tian’er. “Your injuries are almost healed.”
"You don't need to rush me, I'll leave on my own. Anyway, I don't want to see any imperial envoys." Tang Tian'er pursed her lips, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. "Don't forget our agreement."
Zuan: "..."
Tang Tian'er gave a sweet smile, then flew out of the window and quickly disappeared into the night.
"What beautiful agility!" Zu An couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. No wonder he was able to easily steal Pei You's jade pendant and sneak up on him silently.
After seeing Tang Tian'er off, Zu An went to Sang Hong's house, expecting other officials from the delegation to be there, but to his surprise, only Sang Hong was there.
"Pour yourself some tea." Sang Hong didn't stand on ceremony with him. He was hanging his warm cloak on the screen and changing into some casual clothes.
It seems he called me as soon as he got back. Zu'an sat down at the table: "I heard Uncle went to the Prefect's mansion?"
"Yes, things are in an uproar at the Prefect's residence," Sang Hong walked over, exhaling a chill. "You know that the escort team for the Demonic Cult's demoness has been hijacked."
"I know a little bit," Zu An replied modestly.
"After Yang Sheng, the Commandant of Yi County, returned, he mentioned that two experts and a large group of men in black came. One of them was a ninth-rank expert with a higher cultivation level than him. The other one was even more mysterious. His specific cultivation level could not be discerned, but he caught the full-force sword strike of Liao Ling, the City Lord of Yi City, with just two fingers," Sang Hongduo glanced at Zu An. "I have seen that Liao Ling before. He has already broken through to the eighth rank. Moreover, he nourishes his sword with righteous qi, and his sword qi is extremely powerful, much stronger than experts of the same level."
Zuan feigned great surprise: "There's actually someone in the world who can hold his sword between two fingers? Could it be the leader of the Demonic Cult?"
Sang Hong rolled his eyes, clearly disdainful of his exaggerated acting skills.
“No, it was a man, and he seemed quite young. From their description…” Sang Hong paused, glancing at Zu An, “He seemed to be about the same age as my nephew.”
Zuan laughed heartily: "Being able to hold a swordsman's sword between two fingers is also my dream."
Sang Hong sighed: "The young people nowadays are truly like waves pushing the old ones aside, it's unbelievable. When I was your age, my cultivation was only at the fifth or sixth rank."
The Suidan River is a major river within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the delegation had previously traveled north along the river.
"Of course, it's all thanks to the guidance and support of seniors like my uncle," Zu An said humbly.
Sang Hong smiled. There was no need to point out many things between them: "Compared to those two mysterious experts, the Prefect's Office is more concerned about something else. They suspect there is a traitor within their ranks."
"Traitor?" Zuan had actually guessed what was going on.
“That’s right. Otherwise, the Prefect’s Office only made the plan in the middle of the night, and in order to cover their tracks, they set off in a hurry at noon the next day. As a result, the Demonic Sect had already prepared everything and ambushed them. What else could it be but a traitor?” Sang Hong sneered. “They even asked me if I had told anyone about the plan.”
After saying that, he gave Zuan a meaningful look: "Of course I refused. Our delegation members are all here. How could we make such a commotion? At least that ninth-rank expert couldn't be from our side."
