Chapter 1336 A fool
As her eyelids grew heavier, she pressed her face to his neck and slept deeply…
Walking slowly, Xuanyuan Mo Ze felt the heat of her breath spraying on his neck. He slightly paused his steps and looked aside. Seeing that she was asleep, he did not speak again but walked slowly.
His steps were slow and steady as if carrying the whole world on his back. He was taking great care not to wake her up.
The woman who was lying asleep on his back rested with ease. With him by her side, she never had to worry about anything else…
Gray Wolf, awaiting them outside the house, was worried when he saw the night getting darker and the two people hadn’t returned. They were supposed to watch the sunset and reached home early. This time, the stars were twinkling in the night sky and the moon was shining brightly. But, the two still hadn’t returned.
“Why don’t we wait outside the city?” Gray Wolf suggested at Shadow One at his side.
“With the Lord’s strength and Ghost Doctor, demons and ghosts who encounter them will have to take a detour.” Shadow One wrapped his arms around his sword and leaned against the door.
“That’s true.” Gray Wolf nodded. With their strength, it’s certain that anyone who met them would have to make a detour. Only those who were reckless would come to harass them.
“They’re here.” Shadow One’s voice rang out.
“Where? Where?” Gray Wolf looked back quickly and saw the familiar figure of their Lord walking slowly on the street with someone on his back. Seeing this, he ran forward in a hurry.
“My Lord…” As he started talking, Gray Wolf was stopped with a glance.
Gray Wolf glanced at the sleeping Ghost Doctor who dozed soundly behind his master. In a low voice, he asked, “My Lord, why don’t I carry Ghost Doctor into the house?”
He saw that his Lord’s soles were covered with thick mud. Obviously, he walked back. If he walked back from the Chaoyang Mountain, the journey wasn’t short! It’s so tiring to carry a person on the back like this.
Who would have thought, he was well-intentioned but was rewarded with his Master’s icy glance. “Get the bath water ready.” As Xuanyuan Mo Ze spoke, he walked past him.
Gray Wolf scratched his head, looking at Shadow One. “Did I say something wrong again?”
Shadow One glanced at him, then turned to enter the mansion. “As far as Ghost Doctor is concerned, you should not act too attentive to her.”
Gray Wolf was aghast. He opened his mouth yet no words came out. He had good intentions. Where did he act too attentive?
As soon as she entered the mansion, Feng Jiu, who was sleeping on Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s back, woke up. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw that she had already arrived in the mansion. She was startled. “Have we arrived?”
“We’re home. I’ll take you to sleep in your room.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze tilted his head to the side and looked at her. His lips showed a doting smile.
“Put me down. Put me down.” She struggled to jump down. When she saw the thick layer of mud on his boots, she blinked and looked up at the sky. “Didn’t you return on the flying sword?”
“It’s too windy going back on the flying sword.” He answered, rubbing his sore arms.
“Silly fool!” She glared at him with distress. “Then, you could have called out to me! It’s so tiring for you to walk home from there.” She patted her head. “Blame it on me. I shouldn’t have asked you to carry me on your back.”
“Fool.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze held her hand playfully. “If I can’t carry you on my back, how would I dare to marry you?”
“That’s quite a different matter.”
