"Silly girl..." Zhao Changhe held the little girl's head in his arms and whispered, "No matter what Yangyang looks like, Brother Zhao will always like you. There's no need to think otherwise."

Cui Yuanyang buried her head in his embrace, "It's because I want Brother Zhao to always have a cute and lovable wife by his side, so he won't go out looking for another little girl. I don't mean to be jealous..."

Zhao Changhe found the last part of her words particularly amusing, thinking that when a person is charming, even their jealousy is endearing.

He couldn't help but lower his head to find her lips again, and soon the two were once more locked in a passionate kiss.

Piaomiao felt that if she had a physical body, her long hair would have been standing on end. I shouldn't have returned her body to its original state; I should have made her appear seventy or eighty years old and see how affectionate they would be then!

Cui Yuanyang, on the other hand, suddenly felt a bit grateful to Piaomiao. It wasn't just about looking younger by two or three years; more importantly, this separation made her feel that Brother Zhao truly loved her.

Before this, she wasn't so confident. Between the two of them, it was mostly her who constantly chased after Zhao Changhe... She always felt that Zhao Changhe's feelings towards her were like those for a sister, and that their marriage was to fulfill a promise and to stabilize Qinghe. He also spoke more with her father than with her.

But at this moment, she could clearly sense her husband's affection, which was definitely not the feeling towards a sister.

Thus, her heart grew more at ease, and the anxiousness about the uncertain future disappeared completely, while her desire to cling to him also diminished significantly. Cui Yuanyang gently pushed against Zhao Changhe's chest and softly said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry about me. Sister Piaomiao is very kind, and she's also very pitiable. I'm willing to share my body with her. Don't be mad at her. I believe you will find a way to separate us, and I'll wait patiently."

Zhao Changhe said, "You can first write a letter to your father to let him know you're safe, so that my father-in-law won't worry. I'll find a way for everything else... Oh, since Piaomiao is already mostly recovered, why do we still need to hide here in Jiuyou? You can both go home. Come back to the capital with me, and we can brainstorm together."

Cui Yuanyang said, "Sister Piaomiao is not hiding here; she is going to fight a wicked woman alongside Sister Jiuyou."

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but laugh, "You call Jiuyou sister, but call her the wicked woman?"

"Isn't she? You seem to dislike that wicked woman too. I heard you muttering about it by the Medicine Pool." Cui Yuanyang said, "But I did make a mistake. Jiuyou is not an older sister, but a younger sister."

Ye Jiuyou: "?"

How did this gossip end up on me... We've got a two-epoch age difference, and you call me little sister?

Cui Yuanyang justified herself, "I married into the family first, so the Li family's lady is a junior regardless."

Ye Jiuyou: "..."

Piaomiao, with a head full of unspoken resentment, finally let out a breath of relief, feeling refreshed from the top of her head to her heart.

Zhao Changhe turned to look at Ye Jiuyou and said in a low voice, "As for this Jiuyou lady, the nature of our relationship is still unclear... Before I came here, I never intended to fight Piaomiao, but I had to fight her at least once."

Ye Jiuyou finally spoke, "Indeed, as per our agreement, if you can defeat me, our cooperation will be led by you. Otherwise, you will be my servant. Should we start fulfilling this agreement now?"

Zhao Changhe withdrew his gaze, "Aside from this agreement, there's another... If I can stand before you within a month, you seem to owe me something."

Ye Jiuyou was momentarily stunned, and her expression turned a bit strange.

She had almost forgotten this agreement... Back then, it was said that if he could arrive here within a month, she would let him touch her again, solidly.

Over these days, watching the play and eating melons, she had forgotten about this matter completely, and sometimes even hoped in her heart that he could truly overcome difficulties and arrive sooner...

Just as Ye Jiuyou was about to speak and deny it, Zhao Changhe grabbed Cui Yuanyang's hand and stood up, "Let's talk about our matters later. Yangyang and I have reunited after a long time, and I am filled with joy, not wanting to do anything else for now. We plan to tour around this Snow Mountain a little. I hope we won't be spied on, making us uncomfortable under the flowers and the moon."

Cui Yuanyang was very happy, "I've also been wanting to take a look around here. Sister Piaomiao has been sitting still all the time, even though the surroundings are so beautiful, she hasn't looked around."

Ye Jiuyou maintained a blank expression.

So you're implying that holding hands with Cui Yuanyang to tour the Snow Mountain is more important than touching me, right? And you don't want me to watch!

She said with a tone neither happy nor sad, "If you look at the Snow Mountain too long, that's all there is... Inside the mountain, there is my Cave Mansion, fully equipped with a bed and bedding; do you want to use it?"

The young couple answered in unison, "Yes, thank you."

Ye Jiuyou was choked with anger, and Piaomiao nearly fainted with rage, furiously taking back her body, "Ye Jiuyou, did you do this on purpose?"

"I didn't mean..." Ye Jiuyou was explaining, the next moment her expression turned strange as she looked at the two holding hands across from her, falling silent.

What he is holding isn't Cui Yuanyang, but Piaomiao.

The air grew quiet.

Piaomiao stiffly looked down at their clasped hands, then raised her head to look at Zhao Changhe.

Zhao Changhe was doing the same, and their gazes met.

Piaomiao quickly withdrew her hand, expecting Zhao Changhe to take the opportunity to stubbornly hold on, but unexpectedly, Zhao Changhe let go quickly, causing Piaomiao to lose her balance and stagger half a step backward.

Zhao Changhe instinctively reached out to steady her, but Piaomiao adjusted her balance and tapped Zhao Changhe's wrist with a finger.

Zhao Changhe retracted his hand and stepped back, calmly saying, "Is the Divine Fist's skill just this? However, if it's you, I don't want to touch you at all, don't flatter yourself unnecessarily."

Piaomiao looked at him indifferently, only to find a hint of anger in Zhao Changhe's eyes, "I only want Yangyang. Since the Divine agreed to Yangyang, that if she saw you within a month, she could manage the body for a period of time, why did you go back on your word after such a short while?"
