Cloud Above Hotel.
Fang Yu followed Leng Qing into the room.
The moment they entered, a spatial ring was tossed toward him.
Before he could examine it carefully, Leng Qing said to him,
"Help me prepare some hot water. Thank you."
After the intense battle and the heavy depletion of magical energy, she was extremely fatigued and only wanted to soak in the bathtub and wash up.
Fang Yu was not surprised by this.
But he soon froze in place.
Leng Qing continued, "While I'm bathing, you are not allowed to leave my room. But if you dare to peek, you will regret it."
Fang Yu: ???
What was wrong with this person?
Fang Yu stared in shock at the faintly visible bathtub behind the transparent bathroom glass, and ripples stirred in his heart.
Using beauty to tempt me?
Yet I cannot even properly appreciate it.
She was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Sigh!
He simply could not figure out what she was thinking. Fang Yu personally prepared the hot water for Leng Qing.
After finishing, he reached out to test the temperature. Once he confirmed it was not too hot, he said to Leng Qing by the window,
"The water is ready."
Leng Qing walked in, tested the temperature herself, and nodded in satisfaction.
The temperature was slightly on the hotter side.
But that was best, going in would not feel too hot, and by the time she came out, the water would not have turned too cold.
She then turned to Fang Yu.
"Do you think I can't bathe by myself?"
The confused Fang Yu instantly realized what she meant and quickly stepped back.
"I'll step out now."
If she thought he was trying to look, he would definitely be taught a lesson.
"Draw the curtains for me," Leng Qing said as she rose slightly.
"Alright." Fang Yu nodded.
"And close the door."
After Fang Yu shut the door properly, he heard Leng Qing's voice again,
"Face away from the bathroom."
Fang Yu complied.
After sitting down at the tea table, he heard the sound of clothes being removed behind him, followed by the soft noise of garments being placed on the rack.
It made him uncomfortable.
To him, the mysterious woman was the most unique woman he had ever met. In front of her, Fang Yu could feel himself easily losing composure. Not to mention such an ambiguous situation as this.
Splash!
The sudden sound of water echoed from the bathroom. Staring at the tea table, Fang Yu could imagine someone stepping into the water.
"Keep your attention on the window," Leng Qing reminded him.
Helpless, Fang Yu shifted his gaze outside.
A full moon hung high in the sky, silver moonlight blanketing the entire town.
It brought a sense of vast calm and tranquility.
However, as Melodious voice rang in his mind, he immediately snapped out of that serene state.
Splash, splash!
More water sounds came from the bathroom. Fang Yu felt that Leng Qing was pouring water over her body.
Soon after, a faint fragrance drifted out.
The inexplicable situation stirred a trace of restlessness within him.
But he quickly took a deep breath and suppressed it, attempting to change the subject.
"There's something I'd like to ask you, Senior."
"What is it?" Leng Qing's slightly languid voice came from the bathroom.
Fang Yu could tell she seemed to quite enjoy soaking in a bath.
"How long are we staying in Luo City?"
This was not a good place. He did not want to remain here any longer than necessary.
"We'll rest for one day and leave tomorrow," Leng Qing replied casually. "What, does staying with me make you feel wronged?"
"No," Fang Yu said against his true feelings.
He was only a Basic Tier Mage, yet he had been dragged into a battlefield that did not belong to him. How could he not feel wronged?
After he said that, the sound of water inside suddenly stopped, followed by Leng Qing's faintly amused voice,
"Let's just take that as a no."
Fang Yu secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Have you ever thought about leaving Bo City?" Leng Qing's voice carried a hint of curiosity.
"Your strength was exposed today. The three of them should now have some goodwill and interest in you. If your background were revealed, I believe they would gladly invite you to join them. They are not from Bo City. One of them even comes from a prominent clan."
"If I were to consider it, I'd rather accept your invitation," Fang Yu replied.
"There's no conflict between the two," Leng Qing said absentmindedly.
"Forget it. I'd prefer a bit more freedom. For now, this is quite good," Fang Yu shook his head.
For someone as weak as he currently was, joining a clan might not necessarily be a good thing.
Clans would indeed provide resources for cultivation, but once one grew stronger, the repayment would come at double the cost.
After a long while…
Fang Yu no longer heard Leng Qing's voice, only the steady sound of water splashing.
Seeing that she was not speaking, Fang Yu also remained silent. The sound of water continued without pause.
He waited for quite some time before sensing that Leng Qing should be finishing her bath.
Yet after waiting even longer, there was still no movement.
"Senior?" Fang Yu called out curiously.
No response.
No sound of water either.
"Senior?" Fang Yu raised his voice slightly.
Still no response.
Helpless, he turned his head to check.
Through the hazy transparent bathroom glass though partially blocked by the curtain, he could vaguely see Leng Qing leaning against the edge of the bathtub, completely motionless.
He called out twice more, but there was still no reply.
With no other choice, he opened the bathroom door and saw Leng Qing leaning over the edge of the tub, her eyes tightly closed.
She appeared to have fallen asleep.
He did not approach rashly, only observed from where he stood.
From this angle, her back was fully visible.
There was a faint rise and fall.
She was truly asleep.
Exhausted?
After all, she had fought a High Tier Mage and several Basic Tier Mages.
With such severe magical energy consumption, fatigue was only natural.
Faced with such a breathtaking beauty in this state, Fang Yu only dared to glance a few times, not daring to look too closely, in case she suddenly woke up.
He did not step inside. Instead, he turned on the nearby heating switch to warm the water further before retreating.
He continued waiting.
After quite some time he finally heard the sound of water again.
Then Leng Qing's voice followed.
"Did you come in?"
"No," Fang Yu replied.
Leng Qing let out a cold laugh.
Soon after, the sound of water splashing widely echoed again.
A moment later Fang Yu subconsciously asked, "Finished?"
"Do you want to bathe?" Leng Qing walked out of the bathroom, looking at Fang Yu with a half-smile.
That familiar fragrance drifted toward him.
Seeing how quickly she had dressed, Fang Yu hurriedly said,
"N-No."
Leng Qing had changed into a different outfit. The earlier cyan dress had been replaced with a white one.
A black belt cinched her waist. The skirt fell to her ankles, and her upper body was tightly wrapped, her graceful curves unmistakable.
"Do not disturb me for the rest of today."
After giving the instruction, Leng Qing ushered Fang Yu out of the room and closed the door.
Fang Yu let out a long breath.
He was finally relieved.
His heart had been in turmoil.
If not for the lingering intimidation of her power, they might have ended up sharing the night already. Shaking his head, he stopped letting his thoughts wander.
Returning to his own room, Fang Yu began examining the spatial ring.
After checking, he found it completely empty.
He had thought there might be something else inside, but it seemed everything had already been taken by Leng Qing.
Still, he should be satisfied at least he had obtained a free storage item.
Next, Fang Yu began inspecting himself.
"My Shield is cracked and needs repair. A Basic Tier magical equipment is still barely sufficient. If my magical equipment were stronger, today's battle might have been more manageable."
After analyzing the situation, Fang Yu sat down to meditate for a while. Once he confirmed that his body had no hidden injuries, he began considering his next cultivation direction.
He was already at Basic Tier Level Two in two elements.
Next, he needed to decide which magic to cultivate first.
Basic Tier Level Three.
Ice Element Enshroud!
Space Element Void Wall!
Each had its strengths.
Enshroud was fierce and aggressive, suppressing with frost and freezing enemies, while Void Wall excelled in defense.
After some hesitation, Fang Yu chose Void Wall.
He did not lack offensive capability.
But in magical combat, once the body was injured, it might become impossible to unleash one's magical power.
Void Wall was perfectly suited for defense.
Having made his decision, Fang Yu began cultivating.
