Chapter 448 - 393: What Kind Does She Want?
Chapter 448: Chapter 393: What Kind Does She Want?
She thought about what had happened today. ’Would it be unsafe to wash this scent off?’
Back when she and Cook were in Zone 19, he had to cover her with his own scent every day. Only after sniffing her thoroughly to make sure everything was fine would he let her go out.
But Alex and the others had said Cook’s regression was too severe, and his scent wasn’t effective anymore.
Philinos smelled the strong wolf stench on Gu Ning, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly. "This scent won’t come off with just one wash."
He looked down, thought for a moment, and said, "You go wash first."
With that, he quickly left the room.
Gu Ning didn’t know what the Little Fairy Bird was off to do, and she didn’t dare to bathe outdoors in a strange place, so she sat by the floor-to-ceiling window to wait for him.
"Ning... Ning!" Cook leaped out of the hot spring and ran over to Gu Ning. Shaking the water from his fur, he tried to hug her.
"No!" Gu Ning pushed his little doggy head away. "Cook, you’re all wet!"
Cook stuck his tongue out and grinned. "Ningning, wash... wash."
Gu Ning shied away. "I’ll wait for Philinos to come back before I wash."
Cook’s lolling tongue retracted halfway. He let out a small whimper, eyeing her with a calculating look she rarely saw from him. "Ning..."
Gu Ning: "...What is it, Cook?"
Cook: "Ning... like... bird."
Gu Ning smiled. "Barto and Alex aren’t here. It’s safer for us to have Bird Team around."
Cook pouted. "Ningning... likes... bird."
Gu Ning’s smile froze. Before she could speak, the sound of the door opening came from behind her. She turned to see the Little Fairy Bird had returned, carrying a tray.
Seeing Gu Ning still sitting there, Philinos pursed his lips slightly. He placed the tray in his hands beside her. "Go ahead and wash. I’ll stand guard right here."
"Use this. The scent will be much nicer," he said, pointing to a glass bottle on the tray.
After speaking, he took two steps back and briskly closed the door and drew the curtains.
Gu Ning’s gaze fell upon the tray. On it was a neatly folded white bathrobe and two bottles that looked like shower gel and shampoo. The bottles were made of clear glass, revealing sparkling, light-blue and pink liquids inside.
’So that’s what he went to get for me.’
Gu Ning smiled. ’The Little Fairy Bird is so thoughtful and considerate,’ she thought to herself. ’Even his bathing products are so exquisite.’
She glanced at the two trays by the hot spring, most of which were soaked, then picked up the two bottles of shower gel from the new tray and happily pulled Cook into the hot spring.
The Little Fairy Bird had gone out of his way to bring her new things; she wouldn’t refuse his kindness.
She soaked comfortably in the hot spring for a good half hour. Then, she used the shower gel to give the little pup Cook a vigorous scrub. He hadn’t had a proper bath in a while, and her hands were sore by the time she was finished washing him. Afterward, she put on the bathrobe, draped a towel over Cook’s head, and led him back to the room.
Opening the door, she saw the Little Fairy Bird’s back as he stood facing away from them. He turned around at the sound.
Gu Ning paused in the middle of drying her hair. ’Has Bird Team just been standing guard here this whole time without moving?’
"Philinos, we’re done washing. You can go now."
Philinos’s gaze fell on her face, flushed from the steam. He looked at her messy, wet hair and her slender, white neck, which was also tinged with red. The image of her washing herself in the concentration container that day flashed through his mind...
"Philinos?"
Hearing Gu Ning’s voice, Philinos snapped back to his senses. He caught the fragrant scent of the body wash on her, and the tip of his nose twitched twice.
’That stuff really is good. It pretty much washed away that wolf’s scent.’
"It smells nice," he said.
Gu Ning: "?"
Philinos: "The scent of the shower gel."
"Ahem..." Gu Ning avoided his gaze and scanned the room. "Is there a hairdryer?"
Philinos glanced at Cook, who was on his way to growing into a giant Mixed Breed, and directly called for room service.
A moment ago, when he heard her bathing Cook, he had been tempted to call room service, but he didn’t want to disturb her bath.
"A request for fur care?"
The receptionist smiled as they looked at the room number displayed on the terminal. They kicked the Beastman attendant who was busy browsing videos of virtual females nearby and gave him a meaningful look.
"You need several staff members? Alright, we’ll arrange it immediately."
After hanging up, the receptionist said to the Beastman attendant, "Room 116 needs fur care."
The Beastman attendant’s eyes lit up. He closed his terminal, stood up, and stretched his back. "I knew it. I said that female would definitely call room service. The Birdman with her is good-looking, but he doesn’t look like an easy mark. Probably dull and boring, not her type at all."
The receptionist said, "This is a great opportunity. Did you see her access pass? Make sure you tell those greenhorns to take good care of this female."
