Chapter 172: Bathing Together

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Fu Shinan couldn’t help but laugh. She never know Golden Retrievers could be so self-absorbed. However, when Ji Zan went to the creek to take a bath, she also had some thoughts. It had been a long time since she had a proper bath, and she was starting to feel quite stale.

Wei Xinyi whispered, “Fu Sister, do you want to take a bath too? We can go when it’s a bit darker.”

Man Yu immediately chimed in, “I’m going too! My current scent is no better than a zombie’s. I can’t even tell the difference between Big Brother and Second Brother anymore.”

Shui Ling’er also nodded, agreeing with the sentiment. After all, they had been on the road for a while, and the smell was getting unbearable.

The four of them quietly discussed their plans to bathe when it got darker. At that moment, Ji Zan returned, and when he tossed aside the bandage that Molly had tried to put on him, Fu Shinan inexplicably felt a sense of relief. Her heart didn’t feel as heavy.

When night fell, Fu Shinan didn’t wait any longer. She told Ji Zan, “A few of us are going out for a bit.”

Ji Zan, with a curious look in his eyes, asked, “What are you doing so late at night?”

Man Yu spoke up directly, “We’re going to take a bath. Do you want to come with us?”

Ji Zan pursed his lips and said, “Well, with just you four girls going, it might not be safe.”

Man Yu didn’t expect Ji Zan to agree so readily. She couldn’t believe her ears. Fu Shinan’s face also turned slightly red for some unknown reason. She turned and headed towards the creek.

Shui Ling’er and Wei Xinyi exchanged glances and quickly followed.

Ji Zan silently trailed behind them, keeping a discreet distance.

Molly couldn’t help but ask when she saw Ji Zan going out, “Brother Ji, where are you all going?”

Ji Zan seemed to not have heard her and simply walked past without a word.

Molly lowered her gaze and bit her lip. Ji Zan seemed be quite caring towards this Fu Shinan, and although these people said they would go together, in reality, they didn’t want to accept her! They were all hypocritical! Even now, she had lost everything, so what was there to fear? She had vowed not to be as weak as before, and anyone who dared to take her things would pay the price!

“Molly, what are you thinking?” He Zhu’s voice interrupted her thoughts.

She put on an innocent smile. “Nothing…” Among the entire Changkong tribe, He Zhu was the only good person. His mind wasn’t so complicated, or she would have quietly gotten rid of him long ago.

“Well, rest early. We’ll probably have to leave with Brother Ji tomorrow,” He

Zhu said. Just as he finished speaking, Professor Feng walked out of the house. He looked at the situation and couldn’t help but sigh. “We don’t have much food left, and it doesn’t make sense to stay any longer. If you’re not busy, try to find some food. Otherwise, we’ll continue traveling on empty stomachs…” He Zhu immediately said, “We’ll go right away.”

The other two followed suit, afraid of being seen as useless and left behind.

On Fu Shinan’s side, she had also arrived by the creek and was about to undress to take a bath when she heard Man Yu teasing, “Ji Zan really followed us. So, shall we all bathe together? Is that appropriate?”

Fu Shinan turned to look at her and said, “If you say one more word like that, do you believe I’ll dunk you in the water?”

Man Yu wasn’t afraid of her at all. She grabbed Fu Shinan and they both entered the water together.

Wei Xinyi and Shui Ling’er laughed and joined them for a bath.

Sitting on a distant large rock, Ji Zan couldn’t help but crack a smile when he heard the girls’ laughter. It was rare for them to have such a relaxed moment. However, in no time, an image flashed in his mind. It was a small grove, surrounded by blood, and Fu Shinan was tied to a tree, her head hanging low, covered in blood…

Ji Zan was startled, and he stood up abruptly. But the laughter of the girls still echoed in his ears, which eased his mind somewhat. Yet, he knew that most of the things he foresaw would come true. Just then, he heard a whistling sound in the air. Instinctively, he turned his head, and a steel needle brushed past his ear.

He immediately shouted, “There’s trouble! Get dressed and come out!” Before he could finish speaking, another steel needle flew towards him. He swiftly dodged it in a serpentine manner, and following the trajectory of the flying needle, he spotted a figure on the hillside—it was the High Priest.

As the High Priest realized Ji Zan had spotted him, he turned and began to retreat. 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚

Ji Zan thought about pursuing him but was wary that it might be a tactic to draw him away, so he decided against it.

Fu Shinan had quickly put on her clothes and ran over, asking, ‘What’s happening?”

Because he was in a hurry, and his body was still wet, Fu Shinan’s clothes clung tightly to her…

Ji Zan glanced at her, his face slightly reddening, and turned his gaze away. “It’s the High Priest. He just shot two poisoned needles….”
