Chương 148: You Got Bamboozled

(MC POV)

I entered my courtyard, half expecting there to be someone waiting for me but was a little disappointed to see no one there.

Maybe they don't know that I'm back yet?

Well we did get delayed on our way back so that might be possible.

"Hmm… Perhaps they went for a toilet break?" Diao Chan suggested.

I thought for a while, "In that case, why don't you girls go ahead and rest? We've been on the road for quite a while now. Just remember to set up some protective inscriptions before you go to bed."

Lian Li bowed, "Understood Master, please have a good rest yourself."

"Ara, ara? When does Master want to fluff us?" Manami pouted, only to have Kiyomi pinch her sides to shush her.

 I gave the sisters a wry smile, "Have a good rest alright? Remember what I said."

"Yes Master," The five of them bowed.

"G'night Papa!" Cai Hong waved, prompting me to give her a goodnight head pat.
