Looking at Tang Wan, who had knelt down with a thud, her beautiful eyes shining with spirit as if the words “Do I need to kowtow a couple of times?” were written on her face, Zhou Taoyao couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking her head as she said:

“Your father didn’t ask me to send you back.”

Whoosh.

Watching Tang Wan smoothly stand up with a straightening of her legs, Taoyao’s lips curled slightly, while Zhou Li beside her held his forehead with a sigh, knowing that Tang Wan was probably going to be in trouble.

“Your father is coming to Beiliang in person.”

Thump!

Kneeling decisively and firmly, Tang Wan’s face showed a determination akin to Chengxiang rescuing his mother.

With a voice as resonant as if it were thrown against the floor, she said:

“Please, Sister Tao Yao, save my dog’s life.”

“Uh…”

Tao Yao, confronted with Tang Wan, who delivered the most humble of pleas with the firmest tone, was momentarily taken aback.

She coughed lightly, coming back to her senses, before saying to Tang Wan:

“You don’t have to kneel so quickly; I’ve already finished corresponding with your father.

He probably won’t come again for a while.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Tang Wan shook her head, saying brightly, “I’ll have to kneel when I hear that news anyway, so this one time doesn’t make a difference.”

Could she even prepay this?

“Sis, try to understand.”

Zhou Li at her side let out a sigh, saying in a tone that pitied the heavens and saddened people, “Ever since she became like this, her brain’s gone to her chest.

She was already a little dumb, and now she’s completed the set with being slow-witted, give her a break.”

Tang Wan, infuriated, attempted to leap up and brutally kick Zhou Li’s knee, but ended up pinned to the ground by him, filled with bitterness and anger.

Watching the two of them tussling before her, memories of familiarity swiftly surfaced in Zhou Taoyao’s heart, and a faint smile appeared on her elegantly beautiful face.

But as she saw Tang Wan, a delicate and lovely beauty, being pinned down by a knee, her expression turned a bit odd.

“Come in, then.

If the neighbors see this, it’ll start rumors again.”

Again?

Upon hearing the word “again,” Tang Wan paused for a moment, then was tossed into the house by Zhou Li’s grasp on the back of her collar.

Zhou Taoyao slowly stood up, placed the wicker chair to one side, pulled down the door curtain, and entered the house.

This two-story building had living quarters upstairs and a “reception hall” downstairs for entertaining guests.

Zhou Li carelessly threw Tang Wan aside and then walked to a wooden cabinet.

He reached out to open a secret compartment, taking a jade medicine bottle into his palm to inspect it.

“You’ve taken all your medicine.”

Leaning against the door with her arms crossed, Taoyao’s gaze fell on Zhou Li, who was examining the medicine bottle.

A tender look flashed in her eyes:

“Little Fudan, Qingliu Healing Powder, Hundred Days Proclamation Pill, and even the Lower Grade Town-Soul Pill sent by the Jiefu a few days ago, not a single day missed, all finished.”

“It’s almost over…”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Li let out a long breath.

He looked at Taoyao’s slightly bent right leg and said softly, “Only three doses left.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Taoyao walked over to Zhou Li, extending her slender, fair arm to lightly wrap around his shoulder.

Closing her eyes, she pressed her ear against his chest and spoke softly, “I’ll forgive you this time.

Just don’t forget to send a letter home next time.”

“Sure, sure, sure, but could you let go of my waist?”

Looking at the other jade hand twisted around his waist, Zhou Li grinned, giving a sheepish smile, “Sis, I was wrong, truly wrong.

Just got caught up in some trouble and couldn’t get away, didn’t I?

Next time for sure, definitely next time.”

“Yes, I testify.”

Seated obediently on a chair, Tang Wan raised her hand, her little face serious as she said:

“Zhou Li really couldn’t get away.

He went to the brothel first, and then he was attacked by a monster.

After that, he went up the mountain with me and turned a bandit into a woman.

Finally, we stumbled into Mountain God Village with two Jinyiwei and blew up their toilet.

Along the way, we really had no time to send messages, so don’t blame Zhou Li.”

Zhou Li now felt like strangling Tang Wan.

He trembled as he turned his head, made a throat-slitting gesture at the complacent Tang Wan, and then he looked toward Tao Yao, whose expression was uncertain, and cleared his throat before saying:

“Sis, how about I have Tang Wan kneel to you a couple more times?”

“I’ll let you off the hook.”

Suddenly, Tao Yao smiled wanly, released the hold on the soft flesh of Zhou Li’s waist, and said to him cheerfully, “Alright, you’ve had a hard journey.

Rest well for now.

I’ve informed Jiefu; there’s no rush, you can go whenever you have time.”

Following this, Tao Yao looked at Tang Wan, who was sitting in the chair with her feet dangling off the ground, trying to sit up straight, and said:

“Tang Cen…

Wan, you have nowhere to go now, and there’s an empty room upstairs.

You can stay there for now.

Bedding and some necessities are all prepared for you, so you don’t need to buy anything.”

“Thank you, Sister Xiao Yao.”

Tang Wan quickly jumped off the chair and deeply bowed to Tao Yao.

Looking at the petite and adorable girl in front of her, who was also somewhat simple and honest, a mix of emotions welled up inside Tao Yao.

According to common sense, Zhou Li and Tang Wan were notorious when they were in school, adept at everything except studying, seemingly born to cause trouble.

Normally, parents wouldn’t want their children to associate with someone like Tang Wan for fear of being led astray.

But only Tao Yao knew the one who led the once innocent and kind-hearted Tang Cen astray was her own brother.

Therefore, Tao Yao did not shun Tang Cen as other parents might, avoiding her “like the plague, keeping three miles distant,” but instead, Tao Yao, filled with both care for a fool and guilt, helped Tang Wan out in academic affairs and attended parent-teacher meetings for her.

And when she saw Tang Cen again, that feeling of guilt shot through the roof.

After all, she knew what had truly happened and how determined this child must have been to escape from the Tang Sect, to drug her own great-grandfather, and to poison her father.

The kind of determination it took was frightening.

In the end, learning that Tang Wan had been just a stone’s throw away from regaining her male form when Zhou Li kicked her out, Tao Yao even wondered if Tang Wan owed Zhou Li in a past life.

“Ah, how hard it has been for you.”

Swallowing the sorrow and emotion in her heart, Tao Yao said this heavily while being stared at by Tang Wan, who tilted her little head in confusion.

“Alright, I’m going to cook now.”

Zhou Li did not take to heart his sister’s inexplicably overflowing guilt and, stretching languidly, drifted into the kitchen and began skillfully preparing the meal.

Meanwhile, Tang Wan stayed in the living room, honestly recounting, without omitting a word, the strange adventures that she and Zhou Li had encountered all along the way.

Just as Tang Wan was telling about the “Epic battle between Tang Wan and the Mountain God Statue, and plotting with Zhou Li to blow up the toilet”, Zhou Li pushed open the kitchen door.

He looked somewhat puzzled at Tang Wan, who sat upright with a solemn face, and then said to both of them:

“Dinner’s ready.”

This statement immediately made Tang Wan feel a huge sense of relief.

As a genius in the art of freeloading, Tang Wan didn’t say another word and scurried to serve the dishes and fill the bowls.

Sitting in the chair, looking at the simple yet appetizing and aromatic home-cooked dishes, Tang Wan, while holding her rice bowl, suddenly burst into tears, startling Tao Yao beside her.

“Wan’er, are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s just…

really touching.”

After wiping her tears, Tang Wan looked relieved and said emotionally, “I finally get to eat normal food again.”

“Huh?”

Tao Yao was taken aback.

Zhou Li, after a brief contemplation, recalled all the things that Tang Wan had recently been eating.

Consuming all the dried food in one day, raw wild grass, unknown wild grass, poisonous and unknown wild grass, half a piece of dried food graciously given by Zhou Li, Tribute Fruit coated with lime, Tribute Fruit only wiped off but still laced with lime.

Anyone would cry.
