Chapter 98: Y-y-you want me to take a bath with you?
Aqin asked curiously, “Lord Sheng Zi, you don’t look too good. Is there something bothering you?”
Li Ran shook his head. “You’re still young, you won’t understand.”
Aqin puffed up her chest and said proudly, “Lord Sheng Zi, Aqin is neither young nor old. She’s older than you by a year.”
Li Ran rubbed his forehead. “That’s not what I’m referring to.”
Aqin had been following him since she was young. Other than him, she had never come into contact with the members of the opposite sex. How could she understand such a thing?
Moreover, he couldn’t tell her about the matter with the sect master.
“Well, to show my sincerity, I’d better go to the Sect Master again. Even if she taught me a lesson, it would still be better than letting my imagination run wild.”
In the end, it was his fault.
He was engaged, yet he had confessed to Leng Wuyan…
Although these two things were not his subjective wishes, since they had happened, he would not escape responsibility.
Thinking of this, Li Ran made up his mind.
Aqin said at this time, “Lord Sheng Zi, the water is ready. Would you like to take a bath first?”
Li Ran put on his coat and walked out. “No, I have something to do.”
—
He stepped on reflecting moonlight on his way to Demon Peak.
The guards were used to it. “The Sheng Zi is here again. Why aren’t you resting this late?”
Li Ran scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Please convey my message again. I have something important to report to the Master.”
He had to close the door several times and his face couldn’t stand it anymore.
The guard shook his head. “No need to report.”
Li Ran sighed. “Looks like Master still won’t see me…”
The two guards opened the door. “Please come in.”
Li Ran was stunned.
He couldn’t believe it.
“Master finally let me in?”
The guard nodded. “The Sect Master has instructed that the next time Sheng Zi visits, there’s no need to stop him.”
“Looks like Master has calmed down!”
Li Ran’s eyes lit up with joy and he walked into his bedroom.
—
Behind the silk canopy embroidered with gold and silver threads, steam rose in spirals.
Leng Wuyan was soaking in the bathtub. The warm Sky Mountain Spring Water was soaking her delicate body, and she looked very satisfied.
Although her body was clean and she was immune to cold and heat, she still enjoyed bathing.
While she was taking a bath, the Sect Master’s responsibilities, the sect’s affairs, the Righteous and Devil battles… All the distracting thoughts had left her, and her mind had become clear and transparent.
It was as if what was being washed was not the body, but the soul.
Therefore, she had to bathe for a while almost every day.
Leng Wuyan leaned against the edge of the pool. Her slender jade arms stretched out from the water as she toyed with the stone sculpture that Li Ran had given her.
The more she looked, the more she felt like it.
Because she was worried that the water vapor would wet the ink, she had already put away the album.
These two items were the best gifts Leng Wuyan had ever received.
Although it wasn’t as valuable as those immortal materials, the sincerity and value behind it were incomparable to any treasure.
“Although he didn’t tell me about his engagement, for the sake of his attention…”
The corners of Leng Wuyan’s lips curled up. “I’ll reluctantly forgive him.”
Shasha.
At this moment, a series of footsteps could be heard.
Leng Wuyan was suddenly startled. Just as she had been completely immersed in the stone sculpture, there was someone who had entered her bedroom without her knowledge!”
“Who is it? Why didn’t the guards stop him?”
Her spirit sense instantly caught sight of the other party and she couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Ran’er?”
No wonder there was no movement outside. She was the one who told the guards to not stop Li Ran.
But she didn’t expect him to come this late.
“What should I do now?”
As the sound of footsteps approached, Leng Wuyan’s brain turned off.
Li Ran lifted the cover with hesitation.
The two of them looked at each other and the air instantly became quiet.
“Sect Master?”
Li Ran stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
Leng Wuyan’s black hair curled up as she immersed herself in the water, only revealing a beautiful clavicle.
Perhaps it was because of the heat, her fair face was flushed.
Through the pool filled with various spirit flowers, one could vaguely see a hint of grace, but it was also indistinct.
*Cough cough*
Leng Wuyan suppressed her shyness. “Ran’er, why are you here?”
Li Ran swallowed his saliva and said honestly, “I was worried that Master was still angry, so I thought I’d come over to take a look. I didn’t expect you to be taking a bath…”
Leng Wuyan turned her head and said, “This is my usual bathing time.”
Li Ran scratched his head. “I just wanted to try my luck. I didn’t expect that I’d come in… I was planning to take a bath too. The water has already been heated.”
“Is that so?” Leng Wuyan said, “Then do you want to come and soak together?”
After saying that, she regretted it and secretly pinched herself.
What was she saying?
Who would invite someone to take a bath with them?
“Ah?” Li Ran was dumbfounded. “This is inappropriate, yes?”
Taking a bath with the Sect Master? He would never dream of such a thing!
After saying that, Leng Wuyan had no choice but to hold on. “There’s nothing inappropriate about it. This pool isn’t small either. It’s enough for the two of us.”
Li Ran said, “It’s not a matter of size…”
The main reason was that it was too sudden and he was not mentally prepared.
Leng Wuyan took the opportunity to step down from the slope and said, “If you think it’s inappropriate, you can wait for me to wash up. You can change the water before soaking it.”
“Change the water?”
Li Ran thought to himself, “If I didn’t soak it, Master wouldn’t think that I would mind the dirty water, right? That’s a huge misunderstanding!”
He had finally managed to coax his master, so he couldn’t make her angry again!
Thinking of this, Li Ran said resolutely, “There’s no need. I’m willing to take a bath with Master!”
Leng Wuyan was speechless. “…”
Her throat was dry and she said with difficulty, “But I’ve already used this water.”
Li Ran said firmly, “I don’t mind!”
Now that the matter had accelerated to this point, Leng Wuyan could do nothing about it.
Li Ran walked to the pool and said awkwardly, “Master, I will take off my clothes.”
Leng Wuyan’s face turned red. “You don’t need to report this to me.”
Li Ran nodded and undressed at his fastest speed. Then, he plunged into the pool.
Even so, Leng Wuyan caught a glimpse of his muscular body and her heart trembled with shame.
The two of them sank into the pool and only exposed their heads.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
This pool was for the Sect Master’s personal use. Although it wasn’t small, it wasn’t very large.
The distance between the two was roughly two arms apart. At the same time, she could reach out and touch him.
Leng Wuyan’s toes were about to reach him.
She never thought that she would see Li Ran like this…
It was too strange!
