You Were Born a Nobleman, Chapter Seventy-One: Kong Xuan is a Man!
Tang Zisu had at least managed to cook the ribs well. Wiping the sweat from her face, she happily carried the soup to find Kong Xuan.
The room was quiet, and she did not see Kong Xuan anywhere.
Tang Zisu's cat-like face immediately fell. "Where could he have gone? Didn't he say he was hungry? With his injuries, he shouldn't be moving around."
Feeling anxious, Tang Zisu's stomach began to ache again. She didn't know what was wrong; since noon, she had felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen and her waist was sore. What she really wanted now was to curl up in a warm blanket and sleep soundly, but that wasn't an option. Kong Xuan was her savior, and no matter how terrible his attitude was, she had to support him like a lifeboat in her belly.
After wandering around for a bit, Tang Zisu heard some noise coming from the water room. It turned out Kong Xuan was taking a bath.
Taking out the ointment she had gotten from Mr. Dongfang, Tang Zisu gently pushed the door open and tiptoed inside, planning to apply some medicine on the Divine Maiden's back to resolve their grievances while also chatting away. It sounded like a great idea!
However, while distracted by wiping the drool from her mouth, she accidentally bumped into a wooden rack with clothes.
Kong Xuan was standing in the bathtub getting dressed. Hearing the noise, he naturally turned around. When he saw Tang Zisu struggling in the pile of clothes, and when Tang Zisu saw him without a stitch of clothing on, both of them were momentarily stunned.
Tang Zisu couldn't help but notice his delicate collarbone, fair skin, slim waist, and long legs. But all her attention was drawn to something else—Kong Xuan had a cucumber and two eggs down below! Oh my goodness, what a big bird!
Wait a minute, birds are found on men! How could such an enchanting Divine Maiden possess one? Could it be that he is intersex? Or—Kong Xuan is a man!
Heavens!
What kind of divine existence are you!
Even when surrounded by hundreds of celestial beings and bodhisattvas, Kong Xuan had never felt so at a loss as he did now. His mind raced with a hundred thoughts on how to explain to Tang Zisu what she had just witnessed.
"Tang Zisu, are you... okay?"
Perhaps it was the cucumber that felt too familiar, or maybe Kong Xuan's cucumber reminded Tang Zisu of the days when cucumbers were abundant. She stared wide-eyed, her mouth agape, not even blinking.
Kong Xuan could only smile wryly. Was it really that captivating, or had she been stunned into silence?
The Peacock King was tired of explaining. He floated up from the bathtub and in an instant appeared before Tang Zisu, swiftly knocking her unconscious with a practiced strike.
Ming Wang, are you kidding? This kind of violent approach will surely have repercussions. It's just too brutal to witness!
Carrying Tang Zisu back to her room, Kong Xuan carefully tucked her under the blankets, continuing to ponder how to deal with this silly goose.
Night had fully fallen. Without any lights, everything was shrouded in darkness. The air grew increasingly heavy with a fishy smell as the rain began to fall softly.
The rain was not heavy, but it fell with a fierce momentum, stirring the blood within Kong Xuan's body.
The wound on his back throbbed faintly again.
Kong Xuan opened the door, and outside, the night was deep and dark. Shadowy figures swayed in the wind, which were the branches and leaves of the Old Osmanthus Tree.
Kong Xuan's heart raced, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably. It must be Lang Ye; something had to have happened to him. Kong Xuan regretted letting him go out alone. Without a moment's hesitation, he stepped boldly into the rain.
