Jiang Linyuan was feeling rather uncomfortable.
Saint of Thieves had left him all worked up, and just when he had finally settled down, Haji Yao started teasing him.
After teasing him, she buried herself under the covers and pretended to be dead.
She gave him the Great Expansion Divine Scroll, but wouldn't let him feed it takeout?
The scroll was swelling so much it hurt.
