Chapter Sixty: Have You Just Crawled Out of a Sewer?

Then he would cling to her and say, "Okay, okay, I promise you, I won't leave you again in the future!"

Or perhaps, she would still be as anxious as before, but would pretend to be indifferent and ask him as if nothing had happened.

"Hmph! You finally know to come find me! Look, it's been days, and even a tortoise couldn't crawl as slowly as you!"

He knew she wouldn't easily reveal her emotions, so he could use this opportunity to coax her into speaking her mind.

"Then I've been gone for so many days, don't you... miss me at all?"

In the end, Zisang would, under his series of coercion and inducement, express her feelings for him.

"I've missed you so much these past few days, I felt like dying without you!"

Nan Xianyi shook his head helplessly, smiling bitterly.

Indeed! Everything was just a fantasy now...

A strong, pungent odor wafted over, making Nan Xianyi nauseous.

Upon investigating the source of the stench, he was even more dismayed to find out that the foul odor was emanating from himself!

Helplessly, he recalled that after leaving Fusang that day, he had only hastily bandaged his wounds and rushed over here. He hadn't even had time to dry his soaked clothes, and another baptism of sweat had given it a layer of "fragrance."

How could he face anyone like this! Even though he was going to meet his beloved, he still needed to have some dignity!

Just as he was troubled, he heard laughter from a few men not far away.

Coming towards him were five burly men, who were now showing off the gold and silver jewelry they had just acquired.

They looked like thugs, and they must have obtained a lot of gold, silver, and money from some wealthy person not long ago!

This made things much easier!

Without restraint for the moment, Nan Xianyi's face filled with a cunning smile.

The five big men's faces were filled with triumphant smiles until the moment they walked up to Nan Xianyi, and their smiles instantly collapsed.

"Ew~"

The five big men simultaneously covered their mouths and gagged.

"Damn! What's that smell, it's so disgusting! Did you just crawl out of a sewer or something?"

Nan Xianyi was furious, gritting his teeth.

Fine! I'm bursting with anger now, and you guys just happened to come along.

Nan Xianyi took off his wristguards, peeled off his shirt, and before the five big men could figure out what he was going to do, he punched them in the face.

After it was done, Nan Xianyi happily shook the heavy jewels in his hand, changed into a relatively clean shirt, and swaggered away.

Behind him, the five burly men curled up in a ball, still wiping tears, watching Nan Xianyi leave...

Meanwhile, Zisang had been wandering outside for several days, aimlessly wandering in the woods.

Unconsciously, she returned to the thatched hut where she had lived under Jiuli Mountain before.

Looking from the riverside, the thatched hut hadn't changed much. It was still as simple, elegant, and monotonous as before.

The only difference was the surrounding environment, now adorned with spring colors, willows swaying gently in the wind.

Willow catkins fluttered, rising and falling; flowers competed in beauty, filling the air with fragrance; birdsong grew louder, clearer; butterflies fluttered among the flowers, landing on fingertips.

Just for a moment, she paused, and a long-lost smile appeared, breaking through the icy barrier.

Her eyes stared unblinkingly at the butterfly, the watery pupils following its movements.

At this moment, everything seemed so beautiful...

In fact, this thatched hut was not only full of memories for her but also the only place she could go to now.

As for the Demon Realm, she had already decided never to return!
