Chapter 125: Heavenly Silkworm (1)
—Kish! Kishishi!
I had never been nagged by Hwa-eun before, but the moment I arrived, another relentless round of scolding began.
And as expected, the culprit was Yo-hwa.
The moment I reached the Nine-Tiered Gates, Yo-hwa somehow knew and flew over from the Tang Clan’s mountain.
Just like last time, she had taken on Hwa-eun’s appearance, crossing her arms and pouting as she scolded me.
She pointed at the red thread tied around her ankle and then at the inner quarters, clearly demanding why I hadn’t kept my promise.
That red thread was a symbol of our promise—or rather, a shackle.
“Yo-hwa, why? I told Grandpa Xintu to let you know I’d be a little late. You should let this slide, right? Sometimes, when a man is working outside, these things happen.”
...Wait. Saying it out loud, this felt weird.
Why was I making excuses to her?
—Kissit!
But Yo-hwa’s reaction was icy cold.
