"But I woke up earlier than you, and why are you being so fierce?" Leng Yi smiled smugly, then pretended to be unhappy and pouted.

"You really know how to strike first, huh? You don't say a word about the ridiculous things you did, do you? Did you lose your memory from the fever?" Yin Jiu gritted her teeth and said, "You collapsed in a remote place late at night, burning up with fever and delirious. If I hadn't happened to be passing by, I would be collecting your body tomorrow!"

A sudden barrage of insults sent Leng Yi stumbling backward, instinctively wanting to retort, but then she remembered she shouldn't have been at the herbal medicine shop in the first place. Instantly, memories of her previous unconsciousness flashed through her mind like a videotape. Feeling stifled, she skipped her evening dance class and went outdoors, wildly brandishing her sword for a while before erupting into a frenzy of screaming. Then, feeling unbearably hot and restless, she took off her top.

She took off her shirt...

Huh?

Leng Yi's mind suddenly went blank, and she immediately covered her chest with her hands. I took off my shirt… Why did I take off my shirt? What am I going to do with it? Why did I take off my shirt??

"I...I...I..." Leng Yi's teeth chattered, and she began to lose her senses. "I...I...I—"

"Tsk," Yin Jiu looked at Leng Yi's hand covering her chest with disgust, thinking to herself, what's the point of covering it up now?

Leng Yi gradually felt dizzy and her face flushed. Suddenly, she screamed like a startled bird, "You saw it?!"

"Of course I saw it. I carried you all the way back. Don't misunderstand, I have no feelings for you. You're not a woman at all. I like big breasts, not little girls like you." Yin Jiu looked away and said casually, propping her chin up with the back of her hand, looking arrogant.

Leng Yi immediately lowered her head: "Uh, you're saying this like you've recited it dozens of times." It seems she's thought about it quite a bit.

Yin Jiu suddenly raised her voice: "No way!"

Leng Yi lowered her arms, looked down at her own size, and realized it was indeed as flat as a man's. Then she looked at Yin Jiu's face, which was as sour as a frying pan.

"Hey, you're right. What kind of woman am I now?" Leng Yi spread her hands and plopped down with a swagger.

She instantly understood; what did she have to be afraid of being seen by Yin Jiu?

"If you look like this, you could really be the top courtesan. Fengxiang Pavilion is probably doomed." Yin Jiu retorted mercilessly.

Leng Yi dramatically tossed her hair: "You'll be incredibly charming when you grow up."

Yin Jiu immediately rubbed her skin until she got goosebumps.

“Oh right, I almost let you get away with this. You still haven’t explained why you ended up there so ridiculously. If you weren’t in Fengxiang Pavilion but somewhere else, I would have thought you’d been kidnapped and stripped.” Yin Jiu said with a stern face.

“Um,” Leng Yi’s gaze darted around, “…I wanted to come out and get some fresh air.”

"A cold winter wind? Why don't you go to the underworld and feel the wind there? It might be cooler down there!"

"Well--"

"Once or twice, how many times a month do you come to the herbal medicine shop? It's really not like you're living a normal life. Why don't you dig a hole and bury yourself so that no one can see you?"

"嘤——"

"You can be reckless, but don't make Aunt Fang worry about you all the time. Do you know how worried Aunt Fang was when you were unconscious for several hours? When you disappeared, the people from Zhuoyu Pavilion searched everywhere, and your maid Lingcao almost cried."

"Waaah, stop scolding me, stop scolding me, I was wrong." Leng Yi couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears, burying her face in her hands.

It's been a long time since we've seen Yin Jiu's skill in roasting people, and it's reached a whole new level.

Yin Jiu sighed heavily, her youthful face displaying a maturity beyond her years, her dark eyes filled with helplessness and vicissitudes: "Since you're jumping around like nothing's wrong, you should rest first. It's still early morning, you can go back when the rooster crows."

"Is it the middle of the night?" Leng Yi was surprised and turned to look at the window. Because of the cold wind, the window was covered with paper, so Leng Yi couldn't tell the time for a moment.

Yin Jiu stood up as if to leave, and Leng Yi asked, "Where are you going?"

"Hmph, find a place to sleep, do you think I'll go out and get some fresh air like you?" Yin Jiu sneered.
