Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I should have been more proactive back in Bright Moon City. Now that Brother Zu has so many beautiful women around him, what would it look like if I were to interfere?
However, at the time he was also the son-in-law of the Chu family, and his status prevented him from doing anything out of line...
"By the way, little sister Ling'er, I'm really sorry about that night," Zu An suddenly said. Actually, a kiss wouldn't have been a big deal, but that night Da Manman had even hidden under the table to help him…
If she finds out in the future, she definitely won't be able to handle it, so it's better to make things clear from the beginning.
"I should be the one apologizing," Xie Daoyun said, her head bowed, her face redder than the morning glow. "I've forgotten what happened that night."
I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I inexplicably kissed him.
Oh dear, knowing he has so many female confidantes around him, I still did such a shameless thing. I don't know what Brother Zu will think of me.
Both of them deliberately avoided talking about what happened that night, and the matter was quickly forgotten. Along the way, Zu'an took the initiative to change the subject, talking about cultivation and hobbies. They really chatted about everything under the sun, making the originally boring journey more interesting.
A few days later, the two finally arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the capital. It was already late, and all four city gates were closed.
Zu'an then decided to stay overnight and head to the capital early the next morning.
Firstly, they had been traveling a long and arduous journey, and each time they would simply find a cave or treetop to sit and rest for a while, without even getting a full night's sleep.
Zu'an was alright, but Xie Daoyun's body couldn't hold on much longer.
Secondly, the city gates of the capital are closed at night. Perhaps something big has happened recently. He noticed that many of the city's defensive formations were activated more often than usual. If he were to fly into the capital at night and accidentally trigger the formations, it would be quite troublesome.
Seeing the outline of the capital city in the distance, Xie Daoyun sighed, "Finally, I'm home."
Having spent a long time at the academy and felt the care and love from her teachers and other senior students, she had long since developed a sense of belonging to the academy.
Having faced constant danger in the secret realm, and now facing interrogation upon returning to Zishan, it was far less warm and welcoming than the capital city.
Zu An smiled. As the saying goes, there's no place like home, but where is his own home?
Perhaps it was because of the time travel, coupled with the fact that he rarely saw his female confidantes, that he couldn't say where he felt at home. Even the Marquis's mansion in the capital city didn't give him that feeling.
If I had to say, the Sang family home was actually the warmer place.
I wonder how Zheng Dan is doing lately, and Sang Qian too. Several months have passed; judging by the time, her baby should be due soon...
Upon arriving at the best inn in town, Xie Daoyun's eyes lit up as soon as she entered: "What beautiful flowers!"
Upon hearing this, Zu'an looked over and saw that the walls of the courtyard were covered with a large expanse of bright flowers, resembling both roses and firecrackers, giving people a feeling of vitality and celebration.
A faint floral fragrance wafted in the air, neither overly sweet nor seductive, truly refreshing and delightful.
Zuan remained vigilant, but after secretly circulating his inner energy, he found no signs of poison and breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he had been overthinking things.
No one knew he would be here today, so how could they have prepared all this in advance?
They quickly booked a private courtyard, and after having a light dinner, the two returned to their respective rooms to soak in their small bathtubs.
As expected of a place near the capital, even the bathing facilities are more unique than those of ordinary inns.
Zuan was lying in the bathtub, enjoying the hot water to relieve his fatigue, when suddenly he opened his eyes.
Because a sweet and alluring panting sound could be faintly heard coming from next door, as if someone was suppressing some emotion.
His heart skipped a beat: "Sister Ling'er, what happened?"
Strange, his divine sense was constantly protecting the surroundings, even though she was clearly the only person in the next room.
