7: A Discussion About Bathing
"So you don't know how to bathe, and then you ran over to ask me?" After listening to Bai Ling's serious explanation, Leticia really wanted to pry open this guy's head to see what exactly was inside.
Let's not even complain about not knowing how to bathe—even if you wanted to ask, couldn't you wrap yourself in a towel before coming over?
Running naked into Leticia's bathroom like this with a "whoosh," Leticia would really think this Sword Saint had ulterior motives toward her.
"Is there something inappropriate about it?" Bai Ling tilted her head.
Something inappropriate?
Everything about it is inappropriate!
"Don't you feel ashamed running around naked?" Even Leticia knew a girl couldn't do this—how could this original female have no such awareness?
And she, Leticia, was the Demon King! The Demon King!
They were enemies—enemies, understand? The kill-or-be-killed kind!
Yet for the sake of asking how to bathe, you directly teleported over naked—were you specially delivering fanservice to Leticia?
Leticia admitted this fanservice was indeed quite good, but it couldn't cover up the countless issues with this situation!
"Mm..." Bai Ling shook her head. "You're also a girl, so it's fine."
"I'm not lying to you, I'm actually male."
"...I need to confirm this." A sword was placed against Leticia's neck, and Bai Ling's eyes flashed with murderous light, as if she had taken Leticia's words seriously.
Oh my god, this guy has become even more perverted after not seeing her for years! A drop of cold sweat appeared on Leticia's forehead—that speed was truly terrifying.
Fortunately, after Bai Ling looked down for a glance, she withdrew her sword. "Don't make jokes like that in the future. I can't guarantee I'll be this restrained every time."
"Got it, got it." Leticia breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Miss Bai Ling still had some recognition of gender, at least knowing not to act like this in front of the opposite sex.
"So, can you teach me how to bathe now? If it takes too long, Little Ya will become suspicious." Bai Ling hadn't forgotten her purpose for coming here.
Leticia's expression was somewhat broken. How to bathe? How could this be explained in just a few words?
"A sentence or two can't explain it clearly. Just have Little Ya help you."
"No." Bai Ling said decisively.
Why are you so firm about it now? Leticia didn't understand, but her attitude was clear—this matter couldn't be explained just with words.
"Then, you help me bathe." Bai Ling thought of a brilliant idea. "Come to my bathroom."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I'm not anyone to you, why should I help..." Leticia's words were only half-finished when Bai Ling had already grabbed her arm, forcibly pulling Leticia out of the water.
"At least let me wrap myself in a bath towel first, okay? You go back and turn on the water first, OK?" Leticia quickly begged for mercy.
Bai Ling thought for a few seconds and nodded. "One minute, or I'll come down to find you."
After saying this, she let go and disappeared from her spot with a light leap.
Then, the sound of rushing water came from upstairs.
"Really, this guy definitely has brain problems." Leticia quickly wiped away the water droplets on her body, then wrapped herself in a large towel.
She wasn't as shameless as Bai Ling—even in front of other girls, she wouldn't dare be as bold as Bai Ling.
Opening the bathroom door, Leticia called out to Xue'er, who was still tidying up the room: "Xue'er, I'm going upstairs for a bit."
"Eh?" A big question mark appeared above Xue'er's head.
"Sigh, it can't be helped." Leticia shrugged, and a cloud of black mist surged from beneath her feet, swallowing her figure.
Short-distance teleportation—of course Leticia could do it too.
Landing gracefully on the wet floor, Leticia immediately saw Bai Ling standing under the showerhead, at a loss.
"Before bathing, adjust the water temperature first, understand?" Testing the water temperature with her hand, Leticia said helplessly.
Although cold water bathing wasn't impossible... hot water was still more comfortable.
"Tell me when you feel the temperature is right."
"Okay." Bai Ling nodded, though for her, water temperature was something she could do without.
After turning the faucet about halfway toward hot water, Bai Ling spoke: "This temperature..."
"Feels good?"
"Mm." The girl comfortably squinted her eyes, and that originally cold face gradually relaxed.
At this moment, she couldn't be seen as the commanding figure on the battlefield at all—instead, she was like a cute little kitten.
Leticia was momentarily stunned. This appearance of Bai Ling gave her quite a significant impact.
Due to some slight reasons from her previous life, Leticia's sexual orientation had some minor issues. If you excluded identity factors, Leticia had to admit that Bai Ling did make her heart flutter somewhat.
This girl was like a treasure personally carved by the gods—perfect, making one unable to resist wanting to hold her in their hands and play with her carefully.
