642: Where's the Lord? Washing Her Hair (Part One) [Monthly Tickets, Please]

Gongxi Chou was puzzled. "What kind of special trick is that?"

He could wash his hair while doing a one-handed handstand with ease, too.

"Is the point really the special trick?" For the first time, Shen Tang felt that her soulmate wasn't very bright. She pointed at herself. "Isn't the point that I'm the one performing this special trick for you?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "I."

Gongxi Chou was still confused. "..."

Only when he recalled what Shen Tang had said before the fight did it click—

[If you lose, then have your family's 'Sacred Object' give us a little demonstration of washing its hair while doing a handstand...]

After saying that, she'd even had soldiers bring over an earthenware jar and some firewood.

But at the time, Gongxi Chou's attention had been fixed on the jar and firewood. His mind was full of the horrors of the night his clan had been annihilated. Whether Shen Tang had meant to provoke him or had done it unintentionally, her actions had clearly touched a nerve and stoked his killing intent.

But now—

The Sacred Object washing its hair = Mama demonstrating a one-handed handstand while washing her hair.

So, the Sacred Object = Mama???

The equation took shape in Gongxi Chou's mind, but his eyes held none of the wild joy and excitement Shen Tang had expected. Instead, he frowned. "I know Mama wanted to provoke Qiu Wenyan into sending out a general to fight, but you shouldn't have used the Sacred Object as an excuse. That joke isn't funny at all."

Shen Tang: "...Why won't you believe me?"

Gongxi Chou: "The Sacred Object is an inanimate object, not a living person."

Shen Tang refused to give up.

She'd come clean on her own. How could he not believe her?
