The medicinal bath wasn’t as scary as Xie Ziyou had imagined. The basin was filled with light blue spirit water, not a dark and bitter medicine. The feeling of soaking in it wasn’t like being dipped into a spicy pot, but rather, it was like soaking in a hot spring.

The fire-elemental crystals were spread out densely under the wooden barrel, emitting a weak yet bright glow. The heat continued to flow through the wooden barrel and into the water, keeping the spirit water at a comfortable temperature.

Xie Ziyou’s entire body was still tense at first, but as he soaked in the water, his muscles and muscles gradually relaxed. Every pore on his body opened up, and he breathed in deeply.

The surface of the water was covered by a thin cloud, and it was very comfortable.

Not long after, the System came back with the test results. “You’re fine, it’s all nourishing medicine, full of spirit energy.”

Xie Ziyou’s hands gripped the edge of the basin, his fair face resting on his arm, his eyes slightly closed, and he nodded comfortably.

“Did I misunderstand Wang Yun?” The youth’s long eyelashes blinked, and he muttered to himself as he faced the rising steam, “She’s treating her son quite well?”

The System said, “Maybe?”

“Perfunctory.”

Xie Ziyou muttered, and his evil intentions rose. His fair fingers waved lightly in the water, lifting up a curtain of water, and sprinkling it on the little system bee that was hovering at the edge of the basin.

… … But it didn’t succeed, and was lightly dodged by the bee.

The two of them were having fun, but it was Xie Heng who shared the same feelings as the spirit bone.

The water temperature was constant, and the current was surging, grilling Xie Heng’s heart and throat.

Different from the bone’s perspective when he was chopping wood, he was awake at this moment, but in front of him was a large number of double images. In front of him was a simple stone table and the fragrance of food wafted through the air, but with a slight shake, it suddenly became the smooth and delicate calves of the youth. The biting cold of ice and snow wafted into his nose, mixed with the fresh aroma of plants.

Crazy, crazy.

It was one thing to dream about an enemy changing his nature, but what the hell was this about fantasizing about the other taking a bath!

Xie Heng couldn’t bear it any longer. He stood up, and the weak Xuan Qi he had cultivated shook the chair away.

“Knock me out, quick!”

Under Xu Wan ‘er’s stunned and helpless gaze, the youth staggered and spun around like a headless fly. He grabbed a piece of dry wood from the side of the stove, and after testing it for a moment, he found that it wasn’t heavy enough, and anxiously threw it down. He turned and rushed towards the stool, grabbed the short stool leg, waved his hand, and fiercely smashed it over his head — —

Xu Wan ‘er hurriedly threw the bowl and chopsticks, and rushed forward: “No, thank you, Big Brother!”

She grabbed the stool from the dazed youth’s hand and threw it to the side with a bang. She grabbed Xie Heng’s shoulder and asked anxiously: “Big Brother Xie, what’s wrong?”

What’s wrong, Xie Heng wanted to cry, he also wanted to know what was wrong with him!

But the current situation did not allow him to hesitate. The warm water brought with it waves of heat that washed through his body, and at the same time, Xie Ziyou’s entire body was covered in a thin layer of red. The youth’s bare toes comfortably curled up, and his thin body was slender and flexible. For someone who practiced martial arts, there was not a single bit of excess fat on his body, and every single line was just right.

His skin that was as white as enamel had a clear and translucent feeling, and from the depths of his skin, there was a beautiful blush. His long hair that was as black as sandalwood floated in the water, and every strand of it was like a duckweed.

He was playing with the system, and the surface of the water rippled, and the white body under the surface of the water was not honest either.

Xie Heng covered his eyes with one hand, but the illusion became clearer and clearer. As Xie Ziyou’s body swayed, Xie Heng accidentally caught a glimpse of a shocking scene — —

The youth’s mind was buzzing.

His lips were warm.

Xie Heng wiped his nose, and when he looked down, his hands were covered in blood.

“Thank you, Big Brother!” Xu Wan ‘er hurriedly pulled the handkerchief from the table, and grabbed Xie Heng’s shoulder, wanting to help him wipe his face. “Big Brother Xie, how … how did you suddenly get a nosebleed?”

Xie Heng pinched his nose in embarrassment, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation. His mind was filled with thoughts of “Kill me, let me pass out”, and he was no longer attached to the bench. In a moment of desperation, he lowered his head slightly, and fiercely knocked against the stone wall behind him — —

A sharp pain came, and all the sounds suddenly stopped.

The youth’s vision suddenly darkened, and he froze for a moment, and then fell backwards.

Six pure roots, the world was at peace.

… … That would be strange.

Finally getting what he wanted, Xie Heng, who had fainted from the impact, sadly found that the true torment had just begun.

When his body was completely unconscious, the feeling of being possessed by something outside his body did not diminish, but instead increased.

Right now, there was no longer a blur in front of him, because all the stone houses, stone tables, and Xu Wan ‘er had disappeared. His soul was like daytime, once again confined in an isolated space. In front of him was only the rippling water, and he could clearly see … … Xie Ziyou soaking in a bath.

And he had even lost the right to blink.

… …

Xie Ziyou had truly fallen in love with the feeling of soaking in a medicinal bath. From the moment the sky darkened to the moonlight, he soaked in it.

If not for the fear of his skin wrinkling, he would have been able to sit in this bathtub for an entire night and even lie down and sleep.

The fire element crystal’s endurance was also very strong. It kept the water warm until Xie Ziyou lazily got up to change his clothes. His spiritual power did not decline — — In short, he could still use it next time.

It was really amazing.

Xie Ziyou even felt his heart ache. Before, he had also played the role of a person of great power, but he had been so focused on completing missions that he had not enjoyed the benefits of a villain’s life. His great wealth had been wasted — — No, he was helping the protagonist keep it.

“I have decided, from today onwards, to be a luxurious villain. Eat, drink, and bathe every day. ”

The youth was wrapped in pajamas that had been heated by the charcoal fire. His face was full of satisfaction as he said seriously.

Of course, when he changed into his new clothes, Xie Ziyou did not forget to fish out the Glazed Sword Bone from the bottom of the basin and put it back in his pocket.

Perhaps it was because his skin had a higher body temperature after soaking in hot water, Xie Ziyou, who was so comfortable that he felt a little tired, did not notice that the sword bone in his hand was also slightly hot. It emitted a warm, sun-like heat that did not dissipate for a long time.

With the words of the eldest son of the Xie family, the matter of soaking in the medicinal bath was decided.

Every day, when Xie Ziyou returned from sword practice, he was covered in sweat. All he wanted to do was to soak in the water for two hours.

He had even discussed with the System the possibility of digging a hot spring in the courtyard. He would then cover the bottom with fire crystals and plant a string of spirit plants on both sides. He would then dig a secret canal and connect it to the mountain water. He would then build a circulation system, just like …

“Wine pool and meat forest,” the System teased.

“Go, go, go,” Xie Ziyou waved his hand disdainfully, his beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly. “It’s just a soak in the pool, it’s not a big deal.”

But before Xie Ziyou could explain this “small matter” to his cheap mother, one day a week later, when Xie Ziyou excitedly pushed open the courtyard door, he did not see the familiar bathtub.

The trembling manservant knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, “Young master, the crystals and spirit herbs … are out of stock. I have already asked the storehouse to quickly purchase them, but the spirit herbs are hard to find, I’m afraid … it will take a few days.”

Xie Ziyou was slightly surprised. “The crystals and spirit herbs are out of stock?”

“… Yes,” the manservant smiled bitterly. “Young master is talented, the amount of medicinal power and spirit energy he has absorbed is comparable to the amount of two people. It’s my fault, I underestimated young master, that’s why … ”

The manservant knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

He really couldn’t put it into words — actually, it was far more than the amount of two people. The crystals were originally prepared to be used for a month, but he didn’t expect that although Young master Xie was skinny, his body was like a bottomless pit that devoured spirit energy. In just a week, he had completely absorbed all the crystals and herbs he had prepared for a month.

Xie Ziyou was also stunned.

Waving his hand to dismiss the trembling manservant, Xie Ziyou sat down by the table, propped up his chin, and asked in confusion, “System, do I have a lot of talent in cultivation?”

The System pondered for a moment and replied, “Talent is actually a kind of unstable factor. It is influenced by the external and acquired environment in many ways …”

Xie Ziyou snorted disdainfully, his delicate nose twitching slightly as he snorted.

“Where did all this crooked logic come from?” He said unhappily, “Just say it directly and let me count up to 13 myself.”

“… You You!” The System smiled bitterly and shook its head.

Forget it, today Xie Ziyou was dragged by the instructor to do a demonstration of swordsmanship. He had performed a set of sword moves a thousand times, and he was already exhausted and sweating profusely. He hadn’t even soaked in the medicinal bath when he came back, so he wasn’t in a good mood.

On the other side, in the dimly lit stone house, Xie Heng was also in a bad mood.

In the last few days, whenever it was evening, strange illusions would appear in front of his eyes. Without exception, they were all beautiful and alluring images – a young man with red lips and white teeth sitting lazily in a bathtub, water droplets dripping down his wet long hair onto the surface of the water. More water droplets dripped down his white neck that was steamed by the hot air, flowing over his delicate butterfly bones.

How could a young man who was full of vigor and vigor endure such torture?

Xie Heng couldn’t expose any flaws, which would arouse his benefactor’s suspicions. After banging his head against the wall to no avail, he could only find an excuse. Every night, at this time, he went up the mountain to find a stream to soak in cold water.

His name was: To strengthen the body and prepare for the examination.

Although the process was painful, after a long time, Xie Heng discovered the benefits of it. Every time he hallucinated, there would be a stream of pure spirit qi that was slightly hot, carrying the essence of wood and grass, quietly entering his body to nourish his meridians and repair the damage.

After a few days, not only had the wound on his chest healed a lot, even the outline of the sword bone had been dug out also appeared. It was as if a small sword was gradually taking shape at the empty bone. Although it was illusory and transparent, one could imagine that one day in the future, this small sword formed purely from spirit qi would replace the Glazed Sword Bone and become his new spirit bone.

Did this have anything to do with Xie Ziyou?

Xie Heng’s right hand pushed against the rock, and like a goose falling from the flat sand, he leaped into the rushing stream, splashing water everywhere. It was early spring, and the snow had just melted. The water flowing down from the peak of the mountain was extremely fast, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill. Just as he was immersed in the water, the youth couldn’t help but shiver.

Xie Heng’s mind was a bit calmer, thinking that there must be a relationship.

Otherwise, why didn’t he see anyone else bathing and only see Xie Ziyou?

His good little brother … could it be that he had poisoned him with a gu?

The warm current that came out of nowhere was even more peculiar. It had secretly nourished his meridians, allowing him to cultivate from the beginning. It was more than ten times faster than before, and in just a few days, he had already recovered to the second level.

Could it be that Xie Ziyou did this on purpose?

Could it be that it wasn’t Xie Ziyou’s intention to strip him of his sword bone, but was forced by Xie Yushen?

But his relationship with this little brother was extremely bad. Every time they met, other than cold ridicule, it was sarcasm …

Xie Heng sat in the icy cold stream, allowing the water to flow over his neck. The uninhabited mountains, the shadows were heavy, and intertwined with the bright moonlight, casting a mottled shadow on the side of the youth’s handsome face.

The more he thought about it, the more conflicted he became. His thoughts were in a mess. One moment, there was a voice shouting in his head, “He hates you, he wants to kill you”, the next moment, there was the shadow of water dancing, the ripples were light, the veil was slightly lifted, revealing a smooth and delicate calf.

“Hua!”

Xie Heng’s ears were slightly red. He raised a handful of ice water and splashed it on his face.

The youth covered his burning face and fiercely licked his back teeth. He didn’t need to think about it, this was definitely a gu. This Xie Ziyou who killed a thousand people, it was one thing to steal his sword bone, but he was scheming against him, using illusions to lure him!

How shameless!

“Ah — — Achoo!”
