Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 174

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Ren Qingyue blushed deeply and instinctively gave Yan Zhao a light smack on the head.

Yan Zhao winced in pain, covering her forehead and grimacing, "I'm not talking nonsense."

Ren Qingyue glared at her, "Shut up."

Yan Zhao: "......"

She huffed in anger.

Huhou smiled gently, watching from the side.

Since Yan Zhao appeared, Ren Qingyue not only talked more but also seemed livelier than the day before.

Bai Jin, who realized what was happening, was taken aback. "You, you, you, could it be that you—!"

Although Ren Qingyue had silenced Yan Zhao, the latter still shot an angry glare back at Bai Jin, her face clearly showing defiance.

The air felt charged with tension, as if sparks were flying.

Ren Qingyue shifted slightly to break the standoff between Yan Zhao and Bai Jin.

Huhou timely intervened, "Alright, Jin'er, sit properly."

Bai Jin swallowed her unfinished sentence and reluctantly took a seat.

Ren Qingyue pressed down on Yan Zhao's head, forcing her to bow down, and said to Huhou, "Ah Zhao was unruly in her childhood and is hard to tame. If she has offended you, please forgive her."

Huhou's eyes sparkled with amusement, "No problem, such straightforwardness is quite endearing."

Feeling Huhou's gaze, Ren Qingyue's face grew hot.

Though they hadn't officially acknowledged their relationship, they both understood the implications, making her feel somewhat awkward.

Yan Zhao, forced to bow her head, was unhappy as she listened to Ren Qingyue and Huhou exchange formal pleasantries.

She transformed her frustration into appetite, taking another bite of the flower cake.

Bai Jin rolled her eyes; who could match Yan Zhao's thick skin?

Huhou removed the empty plate in front of Yan Zhao and replaced it with a fresh one.

Ren Qingyue patiently guided Yan Zhao, "What should you say now?"

Yan Zhao raised her eyes, making brief eye contact with Huhou before quickly looking away, obediently replying, "Thank you, senior."

Huhou maintained her smile, "No need to thank me; eat as much as you like."

To ease the atmosphere, she changed the subject, "Since you've come to visit Qingqiu with Yaoshenzi, do you know where he is now?"

Ren Qingyue replied, "Senior Yaoshenzi might have other pressing matters. After sending Ah Zhao to me, he left, so I don't know his whereabouts."

Huhou nodded, not pressing further.

Ren Qingyue proposed taking Yan Zhao to apologize to the demon from yesterday.

Huhou intended to let it go, but Ren Qingyue insisted, so she had a guard bring the male peacock.

This man was being invited into the demon palace for the first time and wondered if he had done something wrong, feeling anxious on the way.

Upon seeing Ren Qingyue, he suddenly remembered the pain at the back of his head from yesterday, where a large iron plate had hit him.

Huhou explained the situation, and the man was bewildered yet flattered.
