A Slightly Bitter Dinner

Wu Jian found himself sandwiched between Zhou Lihua and Hou Jingshu. It had only been a few minutes since he had returned. The vivacious heiress of the Zhou Clan had only just released his lips. He was certain she was acting this lasciviously because he and Hou Jingshu were intimate. This was most definitely revenge on the princess for sleeping with him all the time while she was forced to retain her chastity.

It seemed to have its intended effect. Hou Jingshu was glaring at Zhou Lihua while clinging to his left arm.

“I want to hear why it took you so long to return,” Zhou Lihua said.

“Right. How much do you two know about what happened?” asked Wu Jian.

“We only know the rumors,” said Hou Jingshu, gripping his arm tighter. “Is it true that you fought the Hell Ape?”

He gave her a tight smile. “It’s true.”
