Zhao Changhe hadn't gone far, he even left Wuzhui in Li Si'an's caravan without taking it with him.
After leaving the town and following the edge of Erhai to the south for not too long, he plunged into the sea happily for a thorough bath first before anything else.
After all, he was about to meet Hongling; it really wouldn't be polite to meet her smelling so unpleasant.
Technically, though it was called a sea, it was essentially a large lake; the water was extremely pure and felt quite comforting. The only problem was the nearby grass smelled strongly of cow dung, always leaving one to wonder whether bathing might end up getting oneself smeared with something undesirable...
That bastard Li Si'an, saying once inside the town, "wash as you like," yet it's still not possible, in the end, one must head outside to clean up.
Huh...
