I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

A faint sound rang out, followed by a bolt of lightning striking the whirlwind.

With a scream, the wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the moonlight reappeared.

Bai Zhou tossed the wet, lifeless body of the monk onto the ground, sighed softly, and then used magic to summon a ball of fire to burn him to ashes.

Back in the guest room, Nian, wrapped in a blanket, had a glint in her eyes.

"They just said they were going to big cities to make money... What are they going to do with that money?"

Overhearing the conversation between the old woman and the woman in pink, she couldn't help but become interested in their motives for making money.

"Big cities..."

The daytime seems to have a hidden meaning.

"The nearest major city... should be there."

"Where is it? Tell me quickly, don't be a riddle reader."

Year after year, he put his arm around Bai Zhou's shoulder and asked him.

"Chang'an".

"Chang'an?"

Nian blinked.

"How did they manage to sneak into that place?"

"Without a close inspection, their disguises were enough to fool the soldiers guarding the city and get in."

He rubbed his fingers together during the day, then chuckled softly.

"What's up? Did you think of something fun?"

Bai Zhou's laughter made Nian feel itchy.

“That woman dressed as an old woman was struck by my lightning; she should have a scar on her right hand. I plan to send a message to the people of Chang'an, issuing a warrant for the arrest of the old woman with the burn on her hand.”

"Oh, you're so naughty, Xiaobai."

Nian also revealed a mischievous grin.

"This is getting more and more interesting."

"Let's rest first, Sister Nian. We need to hurry to Chang'an tomorrow."

"Huh? Do I have to get up early?"

"How long do you want to sleep then, sister?"

"Hmm... Well, Xiaobai, wake me up when you're awake."

I've already given up on sleeping in late this year.

She wouldn't be able to slack off or sleep until at least the first cauldron was cast.

"Sweet dreams, Sister Nian."

"Yes, same as above, Xiaobai."

After a brief rustling of the blankets, the room returned to silence.

It wasn't until the first rays of dawn the next day that any sounds came from the guest room again.

"Sister Nian, we should go."

Bai Zhou gently pinched Nian's ear and pulled her out of bed.

Squinting at the newly brightening sky outside, Nian shook her head, wanting to stay on the kang (heated brick bed) a little longer.

"Ugh... It's so early... I want to sleep..."

The sound of Nian, even in her drowsy state, was soft.

"Honestly... if you can't get up, don't force yourself to make someone wake you up."

Amused, Bai Zhou pinched Nian's cheek and sighed.

"Then let's sleep a little longer."

"Hey... Little White... you're so nice... but, I'm not that lazy."

Having received permission, Nian actually became more clear-headed.

"Let's...go...I'll get up now...snoring..."

One second they were talking, the next second with a "splat," Nian fell headfirst into Bai Zhou's arms.

"..."

In the end, Nian went from sleeping in bed to dozing on Bai Ri's back during the day.

"It's so comfortable. Even though I'm not very big, my back is quite broad..."

My body swayed gently, but not violently. This strange feeling brought me unexpected comfort, and my drowsiness grew stronger.

"Is Sister Nian...asleep?"

The person on my back quieted down, and the breath blowing past my ear was her breathing, bringing a slight tickle to the daytime.

The dragon's raised tail was caught by the falling white tail, and a familiar feeling that had been felt long ago broke through the dust of time and surged into the heart once again.

Even though she knew this tail wasn't the one she wanted, it still followed the feeling in her heart and slowly wrapped around the white one.

Lightly circle, slowly climb, and then the tips touch.

"..."

Nian grunted twice, and the dark dragon tail immediately stopped moving, afraid of waking her.

Once the person on his back had regained their breathing, the dark tail tip continued to probe along the white scales toward the soft, fluffy red tail hair at the tip.

Gently roll, slowly suck, and then fully penetrate inside.

The foot hanging by Bai Zhou's side twitched slightly twice before quickly returning to stillness.

As time passed, the slightly cool black scales slowly absorbed the warmth of the white scales.

As the sun slowly rises, the morning chill gradually dissipates, and warmth begins to rise.

The daytime breeze dissipates the heat, and thin clouds disperse the scorching sun. I slow my pace so as not to make the person on my back feel uncomfortable.

How much longer until it stops...?

Nian felt she could no longer keep up the act.

The little guy's tail was so good at rubbing, and since Nian was still sleeping, his other senses were much more acute when his eyes were closed. Every time the tail rubbed against Nian's tail scales, that faint touch penetrated into his flesh and then flooded his mind like a tide.

That feeling... is like eating spicy food. The horrible color makes you want to refuse, but the exhilarating sensation after you put it in your mouth and swallow it makes you want to keep trying and savoring it.

Nian felt that Bai Zhou must know she was pretending to be asleep.

The evidence is that his tail was moving, and it never stopped.

And every now and then it would poke the tip of her tail, forcing her to straighten her toes to endure the tidal wave of pleasure.

That wretched little white dog...

As her toes drooped again, Nian felt she had to "wake up."

"...I'm so tired from sleeping...I'll just sleep in bed from now on... Waaah~"

That's what they said on purpose that year.

But then the sensation from the tip of her tail almost made her voice crack.

That wretched little thing! Knowing she was awake, he clung to her even more tightly!

"Little...Little White..."

Annoyed, Nianban bit Baizhou's ear.

"What's wrong, Sister Nian? Do you want to get off? We still have half a day to walk before we reach a village or town, and walking is tiring."

Bai Zhou subtly lifted Nian's leg to make her more comfortable lying down.

"Waaah..."

After saying that, did you actually put her down?

Year after year, she puffed out her cheeks and hugged the daylight tightly, no longer taking the initiative to get up.

"Speaking of which, Sister Nian, do you know why I chose Taihua as my first pulse point?"

"do not know."

Nian was staring at the horn of daylight, trying to distract himself from focusing on his tail, but this interruption ruined all his previous efforts.

"Hmm... I won't say anything for now. Sister Nian will know when we get there."

"Damn it! Riddlers are so annoying."

After being teased by Bai Zhou, Nian seemed to retaliate by wrapping its tail around Bai Zhou's tail and rubbing it vigorously.

"..."

Bai Zhou's body seemed to stiffen a bit.

((o?o?‖))?

Nian felt as if she had grasped something, and then a smile appeared on her face, and her tail curled up a little more frequently.

The effect seemed obvious; Bai Zhou immediately shut up and just kept his head down as he continued on his way.

Hmph! The older sister is still the older sister!

Nian proudly raised his head.

Returning to the old capital of Chang'an, the grand gathering of the Heavenly Book

"If you continue in this direction for another 120 li, you will see the Western Mountain."

The land of Shu is a thousand miles away from the Taihua Mountains. It would be too clumsy to travel there on foot. After encountering a town, they bought a cart during the day and sped along until the pack animals pulling the cart were exhausted. It was only after a week that the two of them arrived near Taihua.

To be precise, it was Chang'an, the former capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.
