Chapter 40

With the exception of Luo Xueyao, no one else in the Luo family had been able to bathe for several days. Today, they could finally enjoy a comfortable hot bath, washing away the exhaustion of their journey before changing into clean undergarments. From her Spatial Dimension, Luo Xueyao carefully selected a set of old outer garments for everyone, instructing them to wear their prisoner robes over the top. Since they were already riding in carriages, a few changes of clothing hardly mattered. In any case, everyone knew the money used to purchase these items had come from trading the jade pendant taken from Chaishi, so Luo Xueyao accepted the situation with a clear conscience. The rooms at the government relay station were reasonably clean, but Luo Xueyao still retrieved their original bedding from the Spatial Dimension and released Mengmeng. She draped Mengmeng in the invisibility cloak; unseen by anyone, the creature lounged brazenly on the corridor floor, dozing while keeping watch. With Mengmeng there, no snakes, insects, rats, or ants could approach. Furthermore, if any animals nearby sensed danger, they would instinctively pass a warning to Mengmeng.
