Shangguan Xuanyi held Xiao'er's hand as they stepped into the territory of Nangong Country. After traveling for two more days, Xiao'er began to smell a faint sea breeze. It had a bit of a fishy smell, but with a careful sniff, it seemed to disappear.
"Brother Shangguan, can you smell the scent of the sea?"
What does the sea smell like? Can one even detect such a scent? Hearing her words, Zhao Yong took a deep sniff but found no distinct smell!
"Madam, your nose is even sharper than a dog's!"
"Are you comparing me to a dog?" Xiao'er pretended to be angry.
Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at him, and Zhao Yong immediately cowered: "I dare not!"
Seeing this, Xiao'er laughed. "I was just joking. You don't have to be so scared! My nose is indeed sharper than a dog's."
Zhao Yong glanced at Shangguan Xuanyi with a clear message - he wasn't scared of him, but of her man.
"Half of Nangong Country's territory is near the sea," Shangguan Xuanyi explained, ignoring Zhao Yong.
