Chapter 173: Chapter 173 : Stolen Hairpins and Wooden chest.

 When Hong Liu woke up, she got startled by the sight of the First Lord sitting beside her looking over her, the soft look in his eyes made her look away. She remembers what she heard when she was half asleep. She felt more stuck than she ever did, more confused. Lord, it was better when she was in Green Forest busy with hundred different duties and cultivating in the mountains that she had no time to analyse her ill-fated romance with the former Master of the Universe, now with his change demure and his words last night made a knot in her heart.

"Are you going to pretend that you haven't seen me again?" He asked cooly.

"Huh? I...no I didn't mean it like that," she gets up grimacing feeling her sore muscles stretch.

"Are you uncomfortable?"

"I feel like I been run in by the water dragon again," She moans as it aches she pressed her shoulder hoping to lessen the soreness.
