Chapter 87: Extra: Zhuzhi Ci 1 (Poem of the Bamboo Branch) Part 2
Zhuzhi-Lang did not see with his own eyes what the first encounter between Tianlang-Jun and Su Xiyan was like, as he was queuing for a newly released book by a well-known author during that time, at Tianlang-Jun's request.
Originally he was not really that curious. But after that, Tianlang-Jun was in this kind of state for a long time:
While transporting him in his snake form, Tianlang-Jun would say from the top of his head,
"In all the drama scripts I've seen, the maidens of the human world were all gentle and thoughtful. I thought all the maidens were like this too. But it turned out that I've been deceived. Oh Zhuzhi-Lang, one can't see plays like this too much."
The next time, Junshang would have forgotten his own words that 'one can't see plays like this too much', and he would say while watching with gusto.
"Do I look like I can't lift my own hands? Like, I'm so poor that I don't even have the traveling expenses to return home?"
When Zhuzhi-Lang was washing his clothes, Tianlang-Jun would squat beside him gracefully and say,
"Zhuzhi-Lang, how's my face? Am I not handsome? Generally speaking, when young maidens see a face like mine, wouldn't it stir up their hearts at once?"
Zhuzhi-Lang shook and wrung the clothes dry before he hung them up on a bamboo pole. As he respectfully played along with Tianlang-Jun, he silently thought about all those messed-up drama scripts he had seen together with Junshang. He could not speak for anyone else, but the way Junshang behaved now was more like those maidens whose hearts had been stirred up.
Thus, he could not help but feel curious.
In Zhuzhi-Lang's imagination, a maiden who frequented a deserted city alone where demons abound, who told Tianlang-Jun to take his bantering elsewhere and not to be a hindrance while she was getting rid of evil, and who even threw Tianlang-Jun three pieces of silver for his travel expenses back home after she was done killing demons... even if she was not big and burly with broad shoulders and a round waist, she would still at least have a good physique and a murderous gleam in her eyes.
