Shen Chuwei was sitting in Xiao Jinyan's arms, drowsy. Suddenly she stopped and slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was a horse eating grass with its head down. The horse had been running for several hours and was already hungry.

Xiao Jinyan took out the water bag, unscrewed the stopper, and handed it to her, "Drink some water."

"Yeah." Shen Chuwei was thirsty, so she took the water bag, tilted her head back and drank.

Wu looked at the river not far away and said, "As long as we cross the river, we will be in the territory of Nanzhao."

Shen Chuwei sighed, "We're finally here, my butt is numb."

Shen Chuwei, who had never traveled so far before, experienced firsthand the meaning of a long journey and going through hardships.

Hearing this, Xiao Jinyan looked down at her butt and reached out to touch it. He didn't know if it was numb or not, but it was true that her clothes were soaked with sweat.

Shen Chuwei felt a hand touching her butt. She knew it was Xiao Jinyan without looking. She just mentioned it, but he really touched it. She freed one hand to hold his hand, looked up at him, and told him with her eyes not to touch her in public.

Xiao Jinyan smiled and took his hand back, "Let's go to the town and find an inn to rest for two days."

Shen Chuwei also had the same idea. She wanted to take a bath, have a good sleep, and most importantly, eat delicious food. The food in Nanzhao Kingdom should be good.

Wu Tan looked at Shen Chuwei, saw the little movements of the two, was stunned for a moment, and then looked away.

A group of four people and a cat came to the ferry, which was the border between countries, and there were soldiers guarding the ferry.

After getting on the boat, Xiao Jinyan took Shen Chuwei to the warehouse and sat down.

Wu Tan stood at the bow and did not come in.

After Qin Xiao got on the boat, he took the snowball out of the bag.

Xuetuan had been suffocated all the way, and as soon as he was released, he trotted to Shen Chuwei and jumped into her legs, seeking comfort.

These days, Shen Chuwei's attention has been on Xiao Jinyan, so she ignored Xuetuan. Now, seeing Xuetuan's aggrieved look, she felt distressed.

"Here's some dried fish for you." She took out some dried fish from her sleeve pocket, opened it, and fed it to Xuetuan.

Xuetuan hadn't eaten dried fish for a long time. When he smelled the dried fish, he cried out excitedly, opened his mouth, picked up the dried fish and started eating.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes to look at Xuetuan and found that Xuetuan seemed to have lost weight along the way and was not as round as at the beginning.

"Xuetuan has lost weight."

Shen Chuwei had noticed that Xuetuan had lost weight a long time ago, so she felt very distressed.

"You have indeed lost weight. Unlike in the palace, where you were fed with fish and meat every day and your belly was plump, but now your plump belly is gone."

Xiao Jinyan said: "It's better to be thinner, otherwise you will be tired from holding it all the time."

Xuetuan: "..." Is it really okay for you to say that? Shen Chuwei looked down at Xuetuan. She would only hold him when she went out. She didn't need to hold him in the palace.

After getting off the boat, Qin Xiao went to a nearby place to rent a horse carriage.

It took the group less than half an hour to reach the city gate by carriage.

The journey into the city was smooth. Once inside, the prosperity of a metropolis was evident from everything from the restaurants and shops to the clothing of ordinary people.

As the carriage was moving at a steady speed, Shen Chuwei lifted the curtain and looked outside. She saw that the streets were filled with shops selling everything, and her eyes were always looking for food...

The carriage stopped at the door of the inn, and Shen Chuwei and others got off the carriage one after another. After Qin Xiao paid the fare, the coachman drove the carriage away.

Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at the inn. The sign read Yuelai Inn. The coachman said that this was a famous inn in the capital city, renowned for its elegance.

There must be a lot of delicious food in there.

"Husband, let's go in." Shen Chuwei couldn't wait to take Xiao Jinyan's arm and walk in.

Xiao Jinyan thought she was tired, so he went in and came to the counter. He was about to ask the shopkeeper to arrange a No. 1 room, but he heard Shen Chuwei say, "Shopkeeper, let me see the menu here."

How could he forget that as a foodie, Shen Chuwei's top priority is to eat, because she said that she can only rest after eating. The shopkeeper is a man about 40 years old, with a medium build and a kind face. He took out the menu and handed it to her, while looking at them.

The inn has the largest daily traffic, with countless business travelers coming and going, and there are outsiders staying in the hotel every day.

So I won’t be surprised to hear foreign accents.

At a glance, it was clear that among the four people, one was a follower, two were masters, and one was a monk...

The shopkeeper stared at her for a long time, until Wu Tan looked over, then he quickly looked away and looked at the young woman in front of him.

"From your accent, you sound like you're from other places. You don't know the dishes here. I can introduce you to a few." The shopkeeper said.

Shen Chuwei was worried about not being able to understand the names on the menu, so she was naturally happy when someone explained it to her.

She nodded with a smile, "Sure."

The shopkeeper looked at her smile and for the first time felt pleased.

After the shopkeeper's explanation, Shen Chuwei ordered eight dishes in one go.

"Boss, we have been traveling all day and are very hungry. Please serve the food faster."

The shopkeeper said: "It's not meal time now, the food will be served quickly."

Wu Tan reminded him, “I only want two bowls of porridge and two plates of vegetarian dishes.”

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at the monk a few more times, "No problem."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was led by the waiter to the private room on the second floor.

Shen Chuwei followed the waiter to the second floor. When she first came in, she was only focused on eating. Now she had time to look around the inn. Both the decoration and the layout highlighted the word elegance.

Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, smiling and said, "Fortunately, I have a husband."

It was just an ordinary sentence, but it made Xiao Jinyan very happy.

Wu Tan was right behind Shen Chuwei. Seeing her step on air, he subconsciously reached out to help her, but he stopped in mid-air because someone got there before him.

He secretly withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

After entering the private room, the waiter left when he saw that all the guests were seated. After a while, he came back with a teapot, poured a cup of tea for each person, and then left.

The shopkeeper did not lie to her. After she drank a cup of tea, the waiters came in one after another with the dishes.

Shen Chuwei had never eaten the food of Nanzhao Kingdom, so she was very excited. As the dishes were served one by one and smelled delicious, she picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cedar meat and put it into her mouth. When she first ate it, it was a little sweet, and then it became crispy.

The reason why it is called cedar meat is because the surface of the meat is covered with a layer of snowflakes. The meat feels like it has been fried in a pan, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This is how cedar meat comes about.

After Shen Chuwei finished eating a piece, she picked up another piece and put it into Xiao Jinyan's bowl, "Husband, try the cedar meat, it tastes good."

Xiao Jinyan looked at the head in the bowl, raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei, "Okay."

He picked up the meat from the bowl and put it into his mouth. After chewing it slowly, he looked at Shen Chuwei and said, "It's really delicious."

Shen Chuwei curved her eyebrows and said, "I think it's delicious too."

Wu Tan took a look at the interaction between the two people in front of him. He had seen many such scenes along the way. Perhaps he was used to it. There was no other expression in his indifferent eyes.

After eating, Xiao Jinyan took Shen Chuwei and followed the waiter to their guest room.

The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, if you need anything, just let me know."

Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Prepare some hot water, we want to take a bath."

"Sir, please wait a moment. The hot water will be ready soon."

The waiter walked out with a smile.

The first thing Shen Chuwei did when she came in was to look at the bed. It was a place to sleep at night, so it was naturally comfortable.

She came to the bed and looked at the big bed. She could tell at a glance that the bedding was not cheap. She reached out and pressed it. It was a little soft, so it should be comfortable to sleep on.

When Xiao Jinyan looked over, he saw her testing the bed. He walked over and put his hand on the bed to test it. "It's quite soft."

Just as Shen Chuwei was about to withdraw her hand, she saw a hand pressing on hers, and said something soft. There was an inexplicable ambiguous atmosphere flowing between them...

She withdrew her hand and glanced at the furnishings in the guest room. There were no fancy ornaments, and even the pattern on the screen was bamboo, which still highlighted the word "elegance".

"The inns in Nanzhao Country are just different."

Xiao Jinyan nodded in agreement, "Yes, it is indeed different from some small inns."

At this time, the waiter also prepared hot water.

Shen Chuwei opened the package, took out clean clothes and handed them to Xiao Jinyan, "Take a shower first."

Xiao Jinyan bent down and took out Shen Chuwei's clothes from the package, and said, "Come together, take a rest after washing, and I'll wait for you to go out for a walk in the evening."

Shen Chuwei was sitting in the carriage and didn't see the food she bought on the road clearly. It would be a shame not to go out for a walk since it was her first time in Nanzhao Kingdom.

"OK."

"Then let's take a bath together." Xiao Jinyan watched her hand walk behind the screen. After putting her clothes away, he went to bolt the door.

Shen Chuwei was wearing women's clothes, which were easy to take off in summer, and she took them off in no time.

After Xiao Jinyan returned to the screen, he saw that she had taken off all her clothes except her underwear. His eyes darkened and he lowered his head to undress, fearing that if he continued watching, she would not even bother to take off her clothes.

The bathtub in the inn was big enough for two people to sit in, but some water overflowed the moment they sat down.

Soaking in warm water relieves fatigue.

However, Xiao Jinyan, who had been abstaining from sex for many days, could no longer control himself.

He whispered in her ear in an ambiguous voice: "Xiao Jiu."

Shen Chuwei also felt it. She turned to look at Xiao Jinyan and saw a familiar look in his eyes. She took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, kissed his lips and said, "Only once."

Xiao Jinyan was a little puzzled, "Why?"

What was said one second ago is forgotten the next second.

Shen Chuwei said angrily: "You promised to take me out for a walk at night."

Xiao Jinyan immediately understood and said with a smile: "Well, I'll take you out for a walk tonight."

Wu Tan’s guest room was not far away, and he asked the waiter to prepare hot water.

After taking a bath, he put on his clothes and went to the bed. Just as he lay down to rest, someone jumped in from the window.

Hearing the noise, he sat up from the bed again and looked outside the bed, "Who?"

Good afternoon!
