Chapter 438: Sharing a Carriage with the Snow Woman and a Body Check Inside!
“Come here, let me see your eyes.”
The Snow Woman was someone who loved boldly and hated fiercely.
After being honest with Li Mo and blending together, the earlier awkwardness had vanished.
As soon as they got into the carriage, she settled right next to him, her curiosity piqued as she turned his head to look at his newly restored eyes.
After staring at them for quite a while, she exclaimed, “Your eyes are truly beautiful! If they were on a woman, you’d be so charming you’d drive countless people crazy!”
Li Mo chuckled at her words, “What? So I can’t charm women just because they’re on me?”
With a raised eyebrow, the Snow Woman looked at him meaningfully and said, “Of course you can. Isn’t that how you won over the Saintess of Loulan?”
Li Mo was momentarily taken aback.
You know, she might actually have a point!
When he first met the Saintess, although he had saved her, Uya didn’t seem particularly fond of him.
However, after she saw him bathing with his eyes restored, her attitude changed drastically!
She started calling him “Lord of the Divine” without end—no matter how much he tried to explain, it didn’t help!
“Did I hit the nail on the head?”
Seeing him lost in thought, the Snow Woman quickly realized it.
Li Mo pinched her nose playfully, saying, “That’s not true! I brought her back for treatment because she was seriously injured.”
The Snow Woman wrinkled her adorable nose, grabbing his hand that was teasing her waist.
“Pfft, who are you kidding? We’re not blind.”
You can’t hide the look in your eyes when you want to kill someone.
Similarly, you can’t conceal the gaze of love or admiration!
Though Uya was weak now, the way she looked at Li Mo still sparkled with affection.
Just like them!
No one could fool anyone!
“And you?”
Suddenly, Li Mo asked out of the blue.
“Me? What about me?”
The Snow Woman playfully flicked his hand as he untied her belt, but her attempt was so weak and soft.
Li Mo halted his actions and sat up straight again.
The Snow Woman had been ready to go along with whatever he wanted, resigning to fate, but now he suddenly backed off!
If only she had known today would involve such complex attire!
Otherwise, she might have already had her belt completely undone!
“Do you remember someone?”
Li Mo took her delicate, soft hand and asked.
The Snow Woman’s body relaxed and leaned into his embrace, tilting her chin to look at him and asked, “Who? Be clear!”
While playing with her long, fair fingers, he replied, “That person from Yan State, the one who was a musician at your Fei Xue Pavilion.”
“Gao Zhanli?”
The Snow Woman instantly recognized who he was talking about!
Surprised, she said, “Why do you mention him all of a sudden?”
Back in Yan State, since Lord Yan Chun had taken a liking to her and wanted to bring her into his harem, the Snow Woman had obviously refused his advances.
Desperate, she had sought Li Mo’s help at that time.
Li Mo had indeed agreed to help her!
But because Gao Zhanli’s actions went awry in his assassination attempt on Lord Yan Chun, it only ended up provoking him further.
Lord Yan Chun had subsequently sent troops to besiege Fei Xue Pavilion to forcibly take her away.
Had Li Mo not arrived in time, she couldn’t imagine the outcome.
Gao Zhanli, too, had offended Lord Yan Chun and was subsequently hunted down, disappearing without a trace.
“I saw him yesterday, right in front of Fei Xue Pavilion.”
Yesterday, when he had escorted Uya inside, he had noticed a figure lingering at the entrance and, recalling, realized who it was.
It was indeed Gao Zhanli, the one chased out for offending Lord Yan Chun.
Now that Yan State was no more and Lord Yan Chun was no longer in power, the pursuit of Gao Zhanli had naturally diminished.
That’s why he dared to show his face again in the martial world.
Originally, Gao Zhanli had planned to return to Yan State to find the Snow Woman.
However, upon arriving, he learned that Fei Xue Pavilion had relocated entirely to Xi’an.
Now, it was the only capital in the Central Plains!
Gao Zhanli had hurried to Xi’an, found Fei Xue Pavilion, but did not see the Snow Woman.
Moreover, upon entering Fei Xue Pavilion, he was immediately driven out!
Not because he looked disheveled, but because of how his impulsive actions in Yan State nearly cost the lives of everyone in the pavilion!
These people had followed the Snow Woman from Yan State, and naturally couldn’t accept him!
Only those who lived through the dangers and despair in Yan State could truly understand.
Hearing Li Mo’s words, the Snow Woman was taken aback: “What’s he even here for?”
Li Mo smiled, “What else could it be? Of course, he’s here to find you.”
Everyone at Fei Xue Pavilion knew about Gao Zhanli’s affection for the Snow Woman.
In fact, he wasn’t the only one.
During her time at Fei Xue Pavilion in Yan State, her beauty had been renowned throughout the land.
Noblemen and princes fell for her in droves.
Li Mo mentioned this because it had nothing to do with jealousy.
The scales were simply unbalanced!
The Snow Woman loved him and had surrendered herself!
Gao Zhanli could only be seen as a lovesick individual—with unreciprocated feelings, of course.
He didn’t even qualify as a rival!
Feeling envious would only tarnish his own image.
The Snow Woman frowned a little impatiently—not at Li Mo, of course.
“I don’t want to see him. What should I do?”
While she knew that Gao Zhanli had also wanted to save her, his mindset was far too stubborn.
Despite her countless warnings, he had almost caused a disaster.
The Snow Woman was well aware that her temperament clashed with his.
She had initially thought he had died at the hands of the assassins sent by Lord Yan Chun, but now he had actually come knocking at her door!
Learning her attitude, Li Mo felt delighted, “No problem! Just leave it to me.”
Saying that, he reached for the Snow Woman again.
He resumed the interrupted task from earlier!
While doing so, he affectionately asked, “Come on, let me see if you’ve lost weight.”
