Chapter 298 -31 Overnight Stay and Bath_2

Even in pitch-black darkness, one could possess vision as clear as daylight.

Now, how could he not notice the changes in Xie Xiaojiu’s body?

After all, the once rolling hillocks had now become majestic mountains, a transformation impossible to overlook.

He glanced at Xie Xiaojiu, then quickly averted his gaze.

Because he noticed Xie Xiaojiu’s embarrassment.

Afterward, he closed his eyes again.

Seeing Jiang Ning close his eyes once more, Xie Xiaojiu rushed back to her room like a gust of wind.

By the time she came out again with a bucket full of bathwater,

Her breasts were back to normal, with several bands of black cloth visible outside her robe.

After several back-and-forths, Xie Xiaojiu finally poured all her bathwater in the backyard.

Upon returning,

Xie Xiaojiu quietly watched Jiang Ning for a while, then seemed to think of something.

And turned to walk back towards the backyard.

…

Half an hour later,

Xie Xiaojiu saw Jiang Ning open his eyes again.

“My Lord, I have prepared your bathwater; do you need to bathe?” she asked.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes and heard Xie Xiaojiu’s voice.

After the long period of contemplation and refining, the Qi Blood in his body had been mostly depleted.

Now, upon hearing Xie Xiaojiu’s voice, he nodded slightly, “That would be good!”

To him, taking a bath and soaking in water could also help restore the Qi Blood depletion. His condition was perfect for a recovery.

“Then I’ll go adjust the water temperature for you,” Xie Xiaojiu said, then turned to walk towards her own room.

When he opened his eyes and caught a fleeting glimpse of Xie Xiaojiu, Jiang Ning noticed she had undergone a significant change.

Just now, Xie Xiaojiu’s ample size meant she couldn’t see her feet when she looked down.

But now, it was just a rolling hillside.

Xie Xiaojiu had clearly bound her chest.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help shaking his head, then stood up.

…

In Xie Xiaojiu’s room,

Just as Jiang Ning crossed the threshold, he saw Xie Xiaojiu already lifting a steaming bucket of water to pour into the bath.

Hot water poured down, with steam rising constantly.

Xie Xiaojiu poured a portion, then bent down to stir the water with her hands to mix it and tested the temperature.

After several repetitions,

Xie Xiaojiu straightened up from her previously bent posture.

“My Lord, the water temperature has been adjusted; it’s what I usually find most comfortable.”

Jiang Ning nodded and walked towards the bathtub.

The next moment,

Xie Xiaojiu approached Jiang Ning, bent down, and reached to untie his belt.

“What are you doing?” Jiang Ning was startled, hastily grabbing Xie Xiaojiu’s hands.

Xie Xiaojiu immediately looked up at Jiang Ning and said as if it were the most natural thing in the world, “I’m helping you undress for the bath!”

“There’s no need!” Jiang Ning shook his head repeatedly, “You go out, I can manage by myself!”

Hearing this, Xie Xiaojiu also secretly sighed with relief.

Compared to Jiang Ning, she was even more nervous at that moment.

…

After Xie Xiaojiu left the room, closing the door behind her,

Jiang Ning completely relaxed.

Being bathed by someone else was something he couldn’t adapt to, it just felt exceedingly awkward.

Not to mention that person was a woman; just thinking about that scenario made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Neither in his past life nor in this one had he ever been accustomed to such a thing.

Afterwards,

He looked around the room and immediately felt a tad awkward.

Although the layout of the entire room was simple, it was obviously a young girl’s boudoir.

Stripping naked in such an environment still made him uneasy.

After hesitating for a moment,

Jiang Ning only took off the clothes on the outside and kept on a pair of large underpants.

After placing the removed clothes on a screen, Jiang Ning stepped into the bathtub.

“Hisss—”

As soon as his right foot touched the water, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

He quickly lifted his right foot.

Then, he reached his hand into the water to test the temperature.

Jiang Ning: “…”

As soon as his palm touched the water, his face betrayed his speechlessness.

To him, the temperature of the water was suitable to scald pigs, yet it was Xie Xiaojiu’s usual comfortable bath temperature.

“No wonder there are always complaints online about the scalding temperatures some women prefer for their baths!”

“It seems the same everywhere!”

Jiang Ning shook his head.

With a thought, he used his Divine Skills to quickly lower the water temperature by several degrees.

After feeling that the temperature was suitable, he stepped back into the tub.

“Comfortable!!!”

Leaning in the bath, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but close his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Soaking in the warm water made him feel as if the fatigue throughout his body was rapidly dissipating, and his nearly depleted Qi Blood Power was also…

Outside the room.

Xie Xiaojiu was also quietly enjoying the evening breeze.

Tonight’s breeze was particularly cool.

It swept across her cheeks, bringing the cool touch of the long-missed autumn chill.

“It’s already the beginning of November! By this time in the past, it should have been deep autumn!” Xie Xiaojiu, feeling the coolness of the evening breeze, opened her eyes and looked up at the still crisp leaves overhead, sighing.

Woo woo woo—

The evening breeze blew across her, lifting the fallen leaves from the ground, making Xie Xiaojiu’s dress cling to her figure, displaying the svelte and exquisite curves of the young girl.

Her slender and smooth legs were also exquisitely revealed under the dress that hugged her skin.

It was a pity that such a beautiful scene was appreciated by no one.

After a long while.

Xie Xiaojiu turned her head to glance inside the room.

Through the shadows cast by the candlelight on the window lattice, she saw Jiang Ning lying quietly in the tub, motionless.

“Having someone around doesn’t feel as lonely, it’s actually quite nice!”

The corners of Xie Xiaojiu’s mouth curved slightly, her eyes and brow softening.

…

Thump thump thump—

Jiang Ning was lying in the tub when he suddenly heard three knocks on the door.

“My Lord!” Xie Xiaojiu’s voice also rose from outside.

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Ning asked.

“My Lord, may I come in?” asked Xie Xiaojiu.

Jiang Ning immediately opened his eyes to look at his attire, noticing the black boxer shorts he was wearing.

Then he responded, “Come on in!”

Creak—

The door was promptly pushed open.

Jiang Ning turned his head slightly to see Xie Xiaojiu, dressed in a black dress trimmed with gold threads, crossed the threshold and walked in.

“My Lord, shall I wash your clothes for you?” Xie Xiaojiu inquired tentatively.

“That would be very kind of you!”

A warm smile immediately spread across Xie Xiaojiu’s face, “No trouble at all! I was about to wash my clothes anyway, I might as well wash yours too!”

Then she added apologetically, “However, my Lord, I do not have suitable clothing for you to change into. If you don’t mind, you could wear some men’s clothing that I have previously worn?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning patted his forehead.

Before leaving home, he hadn’t thought this far ahead.

Now, prompted by Xie Xiaojiu, he remembered that he had not prepared a few sets of clean clothes to store in the Sumeru Ring.

If his clothes were taken to be washed, he would momentarily have nothing to wear.

Surely he couldn’t parade around here in just a pair of boxer shorts?

This wasn’t his private abode.

There was also Xie Xiaojiu, a girl of a not dissimilar age.

Striding about in boxer shorts wasn’t exactly decorous.

After hesitating for a moment.

“Bring it over for me to see!” Jiang Ning said.

Xie Xiaojiu immediately turned and walked to her wardrobe.

After searching briefly.

She quickly returned with a white robe, approaching Jiang Ning.

“My Lord! Please take a look!” Xie Xiaojiu arrived in front of the bath, unfurling the clothes she had brought for Jiang Ning to see.

Seizing the opportunity, she sneakily glanced at Jiang Ning in the tub and caught sight of the boxer shorts he was wearing. She immediately averted her gaze, a hint of disappointment unconsciously flashing through her eyes.

“Will these clothes fit me?” Jian Ning inquired.

Xie Xiaojiu snapped back to attention and replied, “The clothes I wore at the time were a bit too large for me, so they might feel a tad tight on you, but you should be able to wear them.”

“Then let’s give it a try!” Jiang Ning got up.

Xie Xiaojiu was fairly tall, slightly taller even than Li Qing.

Compared to her, Jiang Ning was just less than a head taller.

“If it is as Xie Xiaojiu says, and the clothes were somewhat loose on her, then maybe they’ll indeed fit me,” Jiang Ning thought to himself.
