After all, the carousel still had the feet on the ground, and she was a novice riding on the lion, so she inevitably felt a little uncomfortable after the excitement wore off.
"It's like this." Jiang Lu sighed helplessly: "When I draw my sword, it will definitely hurt someone. Since you insist that I draw my sword, then you will bear the consequences."
Zhu Zhen felt very aggrieved, half regretful and half puzzled: "But I clearly didn't feel uncomfortable at all when I saw Senior Sister before..."
"She, she was lubricated."
Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then asked angrily: "Then why don't I have it?!"
"I was thinking since I hadn't showered since coming back from Xuannv's place, I could just make do with it, but who knew that you'd delay me for such a while and I'd get dry..." Jiang Lu muttered softly.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
"Nothing." Jiang Lu waved his hand calmly: "Okay, I've listened to the class, and I've played with you if you want to. I really need to go to bed."
After saying that, he climbed onto the bed.
He didn't plan to sleep in the living room at this moment.
Anyway, we have been honest with each other. Not to mention sleeping on the bed, I believe she won't mind if I hug Zhu Zhen like a pillow while sleeping.
Seeing Jiang Lu fall down, Zhu Zhen lay down beside him obediently and pushed him gently: "I still need to take a shower. How about you take a shower before going to bed?"
Jiang Lu opened one eye and said, "You will feel refreshed after taking a bath. If you don't want to sleep, I will continue to teach you the lion dance."
"Ah! No!" Zhu Zhen was frightened and jumped off the bed as if to escape: "Then don't wash it, just sleep like this!"
After saying this, she quickly rushed into the bathroom, apparently intending to wait until Jiang Lu fell asleep before coming out.
Jiang Lu smiled, feeling somewhat emotional.
Once upon a time, he was such a shy and green boy.
Since when did I become what I am now?
After reminiscing for a long time, Jiang Lu suddenly found that he seemed to have never been young, and it seemed that he had always been like this.
"Oh, that's okay, go to sleep."
After a truly tiring night, Jiang Lu fell asleep quickly...
......
"Wake up."
"Wake up."
Jiang Lu heard someone calling him and opened his eyes dazedly.
What came into view was a face that couldn't be more familiar, it was the Queen Mother of the West who had not been seen for many years.
"Eh? Xixi?" Jiang Lu rubbed his eyes: "Am I dreaming? How come I saw you?"
"You are not dreaming... The master has already noticed your existence and forcefully summoned you here."
Xuannv, who was standing by, held her forehead and said angrily after explaining:
"But why do you sleep naked? Put on your clothes quickly, don't scare the master!"
Jiang Lu was suddenly shocked.
"It's not a dream... Then why..."
There were some traces of time on her face, but she did not look old. Instead, she looked more mature and charming. Queen Mother of the West looked at Jiang Lu with disdain and asked with difficulty:
"How long has it been since you last showered? Why do you look so sticky?"
Chapter 351 Once Bitten by a Snake
If Jiang Lu had not noticed his current condition, he might have thought that the Queen Mother of the West had gone north to Dongbai for further studies.
It's hard not to doubt her character when she can use such vivid words.
But we really can’t blame the Queen Mother of the West for speaking in a rude tone as soon as she opened her mouth, because she was actually just describing what she saw.
The word "sticky" is not an adjective to her, but a state of Jiang Lu——
There were still tidal sweat stains on the chest and back, but they did not turn into water and flow down. They just stuck to the skin, seemingly making the skin look crystal clear and moist. In fact, they were like the layer of transparent glue on the surface of a fly trap, which felt like it would be stretched to the limit if you touched it lightly.
The sweat stains on his body are easy to understand, but what is more difficult to understand is his lower body.
If the skin on his body was covered with transparent glue, then the skin on Jiang Bao could be said to be covered with layer upon layer of glue, making him look like a beggar's chicken.
But there is no way around it. After all, it is difficult to feel refreshed if you don't take a shower after escaping from the dragon's den and entering the tiger's den on the same night.
Not only did the envisioned reunion of "a breeze blowing up the fallen leaves and then suddenly appearing behind the Queen Mother of the West and saying in a deep voice, 'How are you?'" not come true, but being seen in this state, even Jiang Lu felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.
"Why didn't you ask for my consent when you called me here?!"
"How can I ask for your help? Who knows where you have been?" Jiang Lu's attitude suddenly became so bad that Xuan Nu was also a little dissatisfied: "I went to your cave to look for you, but you were not there at all."
I'm not here? Are you kidding? I'm not always...huh?
Peeping again?
Jiang Lu's heart raced like lightning, and he understood what was going on in an instant.
It must be because I happened to be pretending to be a stone lion at that time, so Xuannv didn't recognize me and thought I had run away again.
The Queen Mother of the West somehow knew that she was now passing by Kunlun Mountain, so she asked Xuannv where she was exactly, but Xuannv didn't know, so the Queen Mother of the West used her great magical powers to teleport her there.
In this case, there is absolutely no way I can refute her. I can just treat it as if I was just running around aimlessly.
Thinking of this, he asked confidently: "Can't you see what I'm doing now?"
"I can't tell." Xuannv shook her head.
"I went into the water to pick lotus roots. I didn't wear any clothes because I was afraid of getting them wet. My body was sticky because the lotus roots stuck to me."
Jiang Lu said it as if it were true:
"I haven't had time to bring back the spoils yet, and you've captured me. Who will help me make up for the nutrients I've lost?"
"Hmm?" Xuannv questioned, "But when Master called you over just now, you were clearly sleeping with your eyes closed."
"Don't talk nonsense. I wasn't sleeping. I just almost drowned." Jiang Lu refuted righteously: "I was in shock."
"Uh..."
Seeing that Jiang Lu was talking more and more outrageously, Queen Mother of the West, who had remained silent after saying a few words at the beginning, couldn't help herself.
She interrupted their meaningless conversation and waved to Xuannv: "You go and have a rest first. Let me talk to him alone."
Xuannv was reluctant, but she and Jiang Lu were now hanging out together, and the relationship between the three was very complicated. Her psychological quality was far inferior to Jiang Lu's, so she had a guilty conscience and was afraid of saying too much, so she just said "um" honestly and left.
However, out of professional habit and conditioned reflex, she did not go far. She just went out and closed the door, then shrank into the corner.
Fearing exposure, she did not dare to use her spiritual power under the nose of the Queen Mother of the West. She could only put her ear against the wall in a primitive way, eavesdropping in an obscene posture.
But the strange thing is that in the past I could hear everything going on in the room clearly, even the slightest sound of water seemed to be ringing next to my ear, but today for some reason, I couldn't hear any sound at all.
Inside the room, Queen Mother of the West slowly sat down, straightened her clothes, and casually set up a barrier.
"She may be eavesdropping again, but we cannot indulge her today."
Jiang Lu looked at the Queen Mother of the West seriously: "You guys are having a lot of fun."
Hearing this, Queen Mother Xi's face turned unhappy: "Isn't this also due to you? You are the root of the trouble, how dare you ridicule me?"
"But I see you're enjoying it."
Jiang Lu just started his speech when he found that Queen Mother Xi's expression had begun to darken. He felt something was wrong and quickly changed the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about this."
He readjusted his mood, smiled gently, struck a pose that he thought was very friendly, and said in a gentle voice: "Long time no see, how are you?"
Queen Mother Xi took a deep breath:
"Why don't you put on some clothes first? Otherwise, even if you want to be affectionate, it will be difficult for me to cooperate with you."
Jiang Lu looked down.
Okay, it's a bit perverted.
He grabbed a towel hanging on the back of a chair nearby and was about to wrap it around himself.
"Wait! That's..."
Queen Mother of the West wanted to stop him immediately, but she was still a step too slow. Jiang Lu had already put it on, or to be more precise, around his waist.
"What is it?" he asked curiously.
Queen Mother Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally just shook her head: "Forget it, it's okay."
"Oh."
Jiang Lu sat down and the two looked at each other. Then there was a long silence and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Then, they spoke in unison: "Actually..."
They were both stunned, and then they said in tacit understanding: "You speak first."
There was a hint of embarrassment and nervousness in both pairs of eyes.
"I..."
Queen Mother of the West opened her mouth tentatively, but this time, Jiang Lu did not continue to maintain a tacit understanding with her.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually..." She pretended to be calm and picked up the teacup, pretending to have let it go and not care: "I still think of you occasionally."
Jiang Lu was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking of, and showed a touched look.
Seeing this, Queen Mother Xi finished speaking and just lowered her head to drink water to hide her inner panic: "It's your turn, what did you want to say just now?"
"I want to say." Jiang Lu said without hesitation: "Actually, this towel is wet. Can you help me get another one?"
The teacup in Queen Mother Xi's hand suddenly broke, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
After a long time, she slowly loosened her clenched fist and gently scattered the powder made from the teacup in her hand into the air.
"You haven't changed at all."
She sneered:
"It's always so infuriating."
