Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Jealousy from the Single Dog

Looking up, it was precisely Wuyue’s arrogant yet chillingly charming face.

I felt embarrassed inside, hurriedly breaking free from Yu Longting’s embrace, "It’s none of your business if it hurts the eyes, you’re just jealous, aren’t you, single dog—ouch."

As I broke free from Yu Longting’s arms, my body instantly lost its balance.

Falling backwards into the water tank, a large splash erupted.

I quickly dog-paddle to stand steadily in the water and saw Madam Zhao was still standing in the tank.

Moreover, the face she had just dried was wetted again by me.

Suddenly becoming nervous, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, please don’t be angry."

"It’s just a bit of water, no worries." Madam Zhao’s aura was much colder and more distant than usual.

She was like an untouchable iceberg lotus, the oppressive force around her more terrifying than anyone I’ve ever seen.

The One-eyed Taoist Nun and Wuyue had climbed up the mountain together, arriving breathlessly to pull Madam Zhao out of the water tank, "Are you all right? You scared me to death. If you died in the fire, how could an old nun like me survive alone?"

"Daiqi, the Taoist Temple has already burned down, and the Oath Curse you issued has turned to dust. Do you still want to stay here?" Zhao Sihai had not spoken a word until now, finally speaking, his indifferent gaze landed on Madam Zhao.

The One-eyed Taoist Nun used the fire charm to dry Madam Zhao’s wet clothes, while helping her tidy her disheveled attire and hair.

Madam Zhao frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes coldly returning Zhao Sihai’s gaze, "Whether I stay or not, what’s it got to do with you."

"I’ve already captured Qingyang, I’m going back now." There was not a trace of affection in Zhao Sihai’s eyes for Madam Zhao, "There’s no need for us to keep sulking; hiding in the mountains refusing to see me."

"You old bastard, Zhao, I hid in the mountains because I wanted to never see you again." Madam Zhao shook her sleeves, "After all these years, I’ve figured it out. Sulking with you is a waste of life; I’m going back."

Zhao Sihai’s face finally showed a relieved expression, coming over to borrow the Kin-seeking Clothes from me.

While they were exchanging biting comments, Yu Longting had already lifted me out, and the cheongsam I wore instantly dried.

It’s just that my hair was still wet, hanging down with the hairpins undone.

Yu Longting has never cared about appearances; he took off his own shirt and carefully dried my hair.

While still advising that my hair is tangled, that I must use conditioner when I wash it back home.

He nags like a concerned mother, yet I don’t find it annoying at all; instead, I feel as warm as the sun inside.

Nodding toward him continuously, smiling at him endlessly.

"Making Kin-seeking Clothes takes time; it’ll take three or four months at the least." I saw Zhao Sihai wanted to leave with Qingyang and bring his daughter Zhao Zheng along.

If the Kin-seeking Clothes were made, it would surely reveal the faces of me and Zhang Zidao.

So reflexively, I felt I could drag this out for as long as possible.

Zhao Sihai’s expression turned cold and gloomy, but he didn’t blame me.

After pondering for a moment, he said to me, "I’ll come for them in twenty years; I don’t have time now, I have to leave."

"Sure, sure, I’ll be waiting, like a gentleman’s word is as good as gold." I felt a secret delight inside; this delay could last twenty years.

I wondered what Zhao Sihai had encountered that made him so eager to leave with Qingyang, no wonder Dragon Dad specially reminded me and Yu Longting that Zhao Sihai couldn’t wait any longer.

He couldn’t even wait the two or three months it takes to make clothes, and once he leaves, it’ll be for twenty years.

"Just after recognizing you as a goddaughter, we have to part ways; it’s truly hard to bear." Madam Zhao touched my face, her fingers brushed past my earlobe.

I felt my earlobe grow heavy, with a cool sensation.

As if an earring-like thing was hung there, in the blink of an eye, Madam Zhao and Zhao Sihai both transformed into two streaks of green light and disappeared.

Zhao Sihai took Bai Zanhe away with him, but Madam Zhao did not take the One-eyed Taoist Nun along.

I hurriedly grabbed Yu Longting’s hand, "They just left like that? In this painting, how are we supposed to get out??"
