Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

After Xue Yunmeng put on the clothes that Tao Jiuxi bought for her, she seemed to be lit up and looked exceptionally beautiful.

The dress seemed to be tailor-made for her, with every detail of the cut being just right. The color of the dress complemented her skin tone, making her already outstanding temperament even more outstanding.

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi couldn't help but admire sincerely: "Sister Xue, you look so good in this dress. I can't take my eyes off you."

Her eyes were sparkling with sincere appreciation, and her face was filled with a brilliant smile as she spoke, like the brightest sunshine in spring.

Xue Yunmeng was used to hearing people praise her superb medical skills, her kindness and her martial arts prowess, but she had never heard anyone praise her appearance in such straightforward and admiring words.

For a moment, I felt a little shy.

Xue Yunmeng was not a cold person to begin with, and she could not resist Tao Jiuxi's sweet words all day long.

After only two or three days, Xue Yunmeng's attitude towards her changed drastically, and the slight resentment she had towards Tao Jiuxi had disappeared without a trace.

Not only that, Xue Yunmeng even specially changed the prescription for Tao Jiuxi, and went to the city to get the medicine as soon as the ship docked again.

Tao Jiuxi never once asked Xue Yunmeng about anything concerning her and Shen Zhiyi, including the slight affection Xue Yunmeng had shown towards Shen Zhiyi at the beginning.

Therefore, the two get along very harmoniously.

Shen Zhiyi felt jealous when he saw Tao Jiuxi and Xue Yunmeng cuddling together on the rattan chair that he had specially made for him and Tao Jiuxi.

He had carefully crafted that rattan chair, thinking that he and Tao Jiuxi could enjoy some comfortable time together on it, but now it was occupied by Xue Yunmeng.

If it weren't for the fact that Xue Yunmeng was his savior, Shen Zhiyi would have wanted to throw Xue Yunmeng overboard immediately. He was full of doubts and puzzled, wondering why Tao Jiuxi liked to be with Xue Yunmeng so much?

Tao Jiuxi saw Shen Zhiyi coming over and hurriedly said, "Ayi, please go into the house first. We are just talking in private."

There was a hint of urgency in her voice, and her eyes revealed a look that showed she didn't want to be disturbed.

Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly and asked, "You've been talking for a long time, don't you want to come in and have some water?"

"No, no, please go in quickly." Tao Jiuxi waved his hands and urged Shen Zhiyi.

She even stood up from the rattan chair, stretched her neck, and stared at Shen Zhiyi, as if to make sure he really left. Only after watching Shen Zhiyi's figure gradually walk away did Tao Jiuxi shrink back into the rattan chair.

"Sister Xue, please continue. Who did that man's wife end up with?" Tao Jiuxi looked at Xue Yunmeng with curiosity, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Xue Yunmeng has traveled extensively over the years, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and has witnessed countless human experiences, including tragic stories that bring tears to the eyes, amusing anecdotes, and especially those gossip stories that spark imagination.

Tao Jiuxi has a special liking for these gossip stories. These days, he has been following Xue Yunmeng like a little tail, listening to the stories with relish.

Xue Yunmeng was a straightforward person, and she no longer had any attachment to Shen Zhiyi. She had always liked the aloof type, but Shen Zhiyi had changed, and that didn't suit her taste. So, she no longer felt that fluttering feeling when she looked at him.

The boat sailed steadily and quickly on the sparkling water, and soon arrived at the next city - Spring City.

At this time, the three of them were sitting leisurely in front of the tea table, savoring the fragrant tea carefully.

Exquisite tea sets are placed on the tea table, hot steam rises from the teacups, and the fragrance of tea fills the air.

Xue Yunmeng gently picked up the tea that Shen Zhiyi had just brewed, took a sip, and asked with a smile, "Jiuxi, do you know where the most famous place in Spring City is?"

Tao Jiuxi tilted his head and thought for a moment, blinked his eyes, and said, "Chuncheng, could it be a flower?"

In her cognition, spring is always closely associated with colorful flowers.

Xue Yunmeng smiled slightly, put down his teacup, and slowly said, "Of course not. Spring City is best known for its places of entertainment. In Spring City, brothels are very famous, and there are quite a variety of types. There are singing and dancing halls filled with the sounds of stringed instruments, singing birds, and dancing swallows, where people can seek pleasure; there are even brothels that serve men exclusively."

After hearing this, Tao Jiuxi's eyes suddenly flashed with a subtle thought. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Wow! I have never been to a place like this. How about..."

"Not as good as what?" Shen Zhiyi immediately interrupted her vigilantly with a serious face.

Tao Jiuxi cautiously probed, "Why don't we go and take a look?"

"Jiang Shun, there is no need to stop in Chuncheng." Shen Zhiyi ordered loudly without thinking.

When Tao Jiuxi heard what Shen Zhiyi said, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. In fact, she just said it casually and didn't really plan to go to that kind of place.

Sure enough, the ship did not stop at Spring City, but continued to sail on the water. During the subsequent journey, the ship would only stop briefly at the shore when supplies were needed.

In this way, we sailed on the drifting water for half a month.

As the boat gradually approached Jiangning Prefecture and was about to reach its destination, it was time for Xue Yunmeng to say goodbye to Tao Jiuxi.

Xue Yunmeng is going to find his master and senior brothers.

At the time of parting, Xue Yunmeng stuffed a pile of bottles and jars into Tao Jiuxi's hands.

"Jiuxi, we will definitely meet again in the future, so you must take good care of yourself."

"Sister Xue, be sure to come find me when you go to the capital. My house is big, you can stay as long as you want."

"Take the medicine, and remember to take the prescription I prescribed for you for another half a month." Xue Yunmeng instructed. This was the first time she had told so many things before parting with someone.

Tao Jiuxi's eyes were full of reluctance. Although she and Xue Yunmeng had not known each other for long, they rarely got along well. She didn't expect to be separated so soon.

Xue Yunmeng gave Tao Jiuxi many medicines, some of which could be used to protect himself at critical moments, some were life-saving medicines at critical moments, and some were poisons. Although these poisons were dangerous, they were also a means of self-protection when necessary.

Some of these medicines were made by the two of them on the ship during the voyage, and some were carried by Xue Yunmeng all the time. She gave them all to Tao Jiuxi without hesitation.

After seeing Xue Yunmeng off, Shen Zhiyi looked at the sky.

At this time, the sun had already set and the sky was dyed orange-red.

Shen Zhiyi thought that it was indeed getting late, so he decided to get off the boat and go to his grandparents' house tomorrow.

The boat is quietly anchored on the water, swaying slightly with the waves. Even parting is a new encounter.
