Gu Tao knew exactly what she meant, but after giving it some thought, he still felt like he probably couldn't handle such an ancient-style tune, so he eventually dropped the idea.
Of course, Gu Tao didn't go back home that evening. Instead, he stayed over at Kunlun to be with his daughter and sister, whom he hadn't seen in a while. She had changed completely, dressed in ancient attire, climbing trees in the courtyard to pick peaches. Black Dragon was shaking another tree, swiftly catching all the peaches before they hit the ground, while Little White Dragon quietly watched from the side, occasionally snatching a peach from Black Dragon's embrace to eat.
Upon seeing Xiuling return, the three of them acted as if they had hit a panic button, and whoosh—they vanished without a trace.
Gu Tao walked under the peach tree, picked up a peach they had dropped, wiped it on Xiuling's bottom, and then took a big bite.
"Are you crazy? The fuzz on the peaches is so ticklish!"
