“If that’s the case, then what’s the rush?” Lu Liangwei looked at him questioningly and then said in a strange tone, “Are you aware you have a weird odor? Why choose to live like this and suffer? At the end of the day, you’re actually still afraid of being caught by your Royal Uncle. Why else would you be so afraid to stop at any of the towns we have passed through?”
Long Chi looked slightly embarrassed.
It had indeed been a long time since he washed up properly since he had been traveling in a rush. He could not help but feel uncomfortable when he saw the undisguised disgust in the woman’s eyes.
He was born a royal and had always groomed himself well. Even when he was sent to Xuyang last year, he was never in such a disheveled condition.
Lu Liangwei’s words had hurt his male ego more than ever before.
He replied testily, “There’s no need for you to rile me with your words. I won’t object to it if you really want to stay at an inn.”
“I guess I should thank you then, my good nephew.” Lu Liangwei was quietly relieved.
Long Chi felt a sensation in his throat as he almost threw up blood.
He stopped talking to Lu Liangwei after that.
That woman might be beautiful, but that mouth of hers was not pleasant at all.
Lu Liangwei’s words might have had a psychological effect on him.
Following that, he kept feeling an itch all over his body. He felt quite uncomfortable when he sat down, and lying down was no better. He ordered Jiang Chong to quickly find them a town to stay in.
Before the sky turned dark, they finally reached a small town called Pure Water Town.
The town was in a rural area and there was nobody nearby, which made the town look even more deserted.
Jiang Chong found the only inn available in the town.
The three of them entered the inn but Long Chi only requested two rooms.
They had just walked upstairs when Long Chi got the server to prepare some hot water.
After settling Lu Liangwei down, he started removing his clothes almost immediately.
When Lu Liangwei saw that he was preparing to take a bath right in the room, she frowned. “Long Chi, can you act less shamelessly?”
Long Chi paused his actions and a mischievous smirk appeared on his lips. He approached her on purpose. “Why? Hasn’t Royal Uncle bathed in front of you before?”
Lu Liangwei narrowed her eyes, but relaxed again after that. “He is a man of integrity. I like men with honor, not savages who have no manners.”
“Are you saying I’m a savage?” Long Chi was irritated.
“That depends on what you do.” Lu Liangwei taunted him.
Long Chi paused.
He did not like how he was so far beneath his Royal Uncle in her eyes.
This was despite the fact that he was well aware the girl was only trying to anger him and make him leave the room.
However, her words still got to him.
“Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything until you willingly come into my arms.” He had his pride too.
“Then, can I trouble you for a bucket of hot water too? I feel uncomfortable all over as well,” said Lu Liangwei.
The look in Long Chi’s eyes turned slightly dark when he heard this, but he nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll get someone to bring you hot water.”
Lu Liangwei sighed heavily with relief once the room door was closed.
She could not tell exactly how much time had passed before Long Chi returned. A server followed behind with a tub of hot water.
Long Chi gave the man some instructions and he left after putting down the hot water.
Long Chi came to the bed and looked at Lu Liangwei lying there. He took out the porcelain bottle from before and removed the cork, then placed it under her nose.
Lu Liangwei was immediately able to move again.
She quickly slipped down from the bed and stared at him warily.
Long Chi suddenly burst into laughter and threw a mirror in front of her. “Just take a good look at yourself and you’ll know why I’m not interested in you at all.”
Lu Liangwei looked questioningly at him and picked up the mirror to have a look. She immediately collapsed back onto the bed.
“If that’s the case, then what’s the rush?” Lu Liangwei looked at him questioningly and then said in a strange tone, “Are you aware you have a weird odor? Why choose to live like this and suffer?
