136: Boys must take good care of themselves when they go out.

Poor Duan Zhengchun. To avoid doing anything out of line in a moment of impulse, he had sealed his Six Senses and had no idea what Gan Baobao had done to him.

It wasn't until the Hour of the Dragon that Duan Zhengchun's seal on his Six Senses automatically released. When he opened his eyes, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

Moreover, a wave of soreness came from his shoulder.

He turned his head to look, and his face instantly turned green.

Gan Baobao was leaning in his arms, sleeping soundly with her head pillowed on his shoulder.

Seeing this scene, Duan Zhengchun's face turned green. How could he have believed her nonsense? Sure enough, Zhang Wuji's Mother was right—the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying.

He had learned his lesson today. In the future, he could never believe such words, or he would be the one to suffer.

What should he do now? What should he do?

Duan Zhengchun had a bit of a headache. His damn charm...

Ultimately, he was too naive, thinking Gan Baobao was truly that kind of innocent girl. Moreover, she had spoken so solemnly before, acting so pure. Now what? Should he just run away?

But if he did that and Qin Hongmian found out, would she try to kill him?

Besides, it didn't fit his character. Since things had already reached this point, Gan Baobao was now his woman; he couldn't just abandon her.

Looking at the still-sleeping Gan Baobao, Duan Zhengchun felt a surge of annoyance and raised his hand to give her a smack.

With this, Gan Baobao was startled awake. She rubbed her bleary eyes and looked at the shocked Duan Zhengchun, feeling confused.

"Brother Duan, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Look for yourself. What is going on?"

"What exactly happened last night? What did you do to me?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Gan Baobao aggrievedly.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's expression, Gan Baobao froze. She looked down at herself in confusion, and her pretty face instantly flushed red.

"W-what's wrong? What happened? Don't you know?" Gan Baobao said, her eyes flickering.

"Do you think I would react like this if I knew what happened last night?" Duan Zhengchun said with a darkened face.

"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that. You must have been faking it last night."

"You hadn't even been drinking, so how could you have slept so soundly?" Gan Baobao had a look of disbelief on her face.

"You... I was just afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself and do something out of line, so I sealed my Six Senses while I slept."

"Once I'm asleep, I can't feel any movement from the outside world."

"Otherwise, how could I not have known when you stole my Divine Weapon?" Duan Zhengchun said with a dark expression.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's explanation, Gan Baobao felt a wave of suspicion.

Sealing one's own Six Senses? Is that really possible?

"Brother Duan, you're not joking, are you?" Gan Baobao looked at Duan Zhengchun skeptically.

"You... I... I really didn't expect that your insistence on following me to Western Xia was actually because you lusted after my body."

"You... doing this, how am I supposed to explain this to Hongmian?" Duan Zhengchun said, feigning sadness.

"Oh... Brother Duan..."

"You are my savior; you're handsome, your martial arts are high, and you're an upright person."

"I didn't want to miss out on such an excellent man. Don't worry, I won't fight with Senior Sister for you. I only want to stay by your side; even if I have no official status, I don't care."

"Now, we've already done everything we should and shouldn't have. If you think I, Gan Baobao, am a loose woman, then just leave." Gan Baobao lowered her head, her mood dejected.

"I'm not saying you're that kind of woman. It's just, shouldn't you have told me before doing something like this? If Hongmian finds out, she'll think I bullied you. How will I explain it to her then?" Duan Zhengchun said helplessly.

"No, this isn't your fault. If Senior Sister gets angry, I'll explain."

"At worst, if Senior Sister really isn't willing, I'll just leave."

"As long as you don't despise me, Brother Duan." Gan Baobao looked at Duan Zhengchun with a wronged expression.

"Alright, listen to me on this. I think Hongmian will understand you too."

"Hongmian isn't that kind of petty person," Duan Zhengchun comforted her.

Whether Hongmian was a petty person, he wasn't actually sure.

It was just that because of what had happened before, her personality had already changed.

She could already share a man with other women, so would she really mind her own Junior Sister?

"Brother Duan, you must be hungry. I'll have the Shopkeeper prepare some food."

"We'll set off after we eat."

As Gan Baobao spoke, she moved to get up and get dressed. This movement agitated her wound, causing her to hiss in a breath of cold air.

"Alright, seeing you like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to travel today. I'll go prepare things."

"Rest well for now, and I'll help treat you later," Duan Zhengchun said helplessly.

Gan Baobao's face flushed crimson, and she shyly burrowed into the blankets, not daring to look at Duan Zhengchun.

Soon, Duan Zhengchun had the food prepared, and before that, he also ordered bathwater.

However, when he went downstairs, the Shopkeeper's gaze toward him was a bit strange.

"Shopkeeper, why are you looking at me like that?" Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes at the Shopkeeper.

"Uh, no, no. I'm just reflecting that being young is truly..." The Shopkeeper had a meaningful expression on his face as he looked at Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Zhengchun's face instantly darkened.

Did the Shopkeeper hear the commotion from last night?

"Heh, the Shopkeeper is quite a character too." Duan Zhengchun looked at the Shopkeeper with a half-smile.
