Wu Liang's eyebrows twitched slightly.
The sound was very faint, almost inaudible.
But Wu Liang's five senses were already beyond those of ordinary people, and he heard it clearly.
Wei Xian and Eliza clearly didn't notice; they were completely immersed in the comfort and relaxation brought by the sauna.
Wei Xian leaned lazily against the wooden wall, eyes closed as she enjoyed the rising steam, a satisfied blush on her face.
Eliza was slowly pouring a ladle of cold water onto the scorching stones; with a sizzle, thicker steam rose, making her let out a comfortable hum.
"What is it?"
Wei Xian opened her eyes slightly and asked with some confusion.
"It's nothing."
Wu Liang shook his head calmly, a playful smile playing on his lips.
He didn't make a sound, only gesturing toward the door with his eyes.
Eliza also stopped what she was doing and looked in the direction of Wu Liang's gaze.
"Is someone outside?"
Eliza lowered her voice.
"Yeah."
Wu Liang nodded, signaling them not to be nervous.
"They're probably here for me."
He had a good idea of who it was.
This newly built Public Sauna, although available to all tribespeople.
But tonight, this exclusive Sauna Room was specifically reserved for him, Wei Xian, and Eliza.
At this time, it wouldn't be anyone else besides those few tribal leaders.
And among those few, who would come here so late?
The gentle and mature face of Florgloria appeared in Wu Liang's mind.
At that thought, the smile on Wu Liang's lips deepened.
"I'll go take a look."
Eliza said as she prepared to get up.
"No need."
Wu Liang reached out to stop her, gently patting her back.
"Let her stay outside for a while; act as if nothing is happening."
Wei Xian and Eliza shared a look and stopped moving.
Outside, Florgloria was indeed as Wu Liang expected, standing by the door and peeking inside.
She had originally only intended to do one last inspection late at night to ensure the sauna's fire source was safe.
However, as she approached the exclusive Sauna Room for the leaders, she faintly heard laughter and the satisfied sounds of women coming from inside.
Those voices... they were Wei Xian and Eliza.
Florgloria's footsteps stopped instantly, her heart rate involuntarily quickening.
Her instinct was to leave immediately, but her feet felt as if they were nailed to the spot, unable to move.
As if possessed, she held her breath and crept closer, wanting to hear more clearly.
The Sauna Room was well-insulated, but dim yellow light and blurry shadows still seeped through the gaps in the wooden planks.
She could see three figures flickering in the steam: the man's tall stature and the women's graceful curves.
Wu Liang's sturdy back, Wei Xian leaning lazily in his arms, and Eliza's tenderness as she wiped away his sweat.
This scene made it impossible for Florgloria to look away, and she swallowed hard.
For a moment, emptiness and loneliness took over her reason.
Alesha and Suina had both entered this man's world.
And she... a sense of loss made her heart feel heavy.
She couldn't help but crave this man's favor.
Florgloria bit her full lower lip, her gaze gradually becoming firm.
She took a deep breath and decided to take a gamble.
Rather than overthinking things outside, it was better to take the initiative.
Just then, the Sauna Room door was pulled open from the inside.
Wu Liang was shirtless, wearing only shorts, with water droplets still clinging to his muscular chest, which shimmered with a bronze glow in the firelight.
He looked composedly at Florgloria, who stood outside the door looking panicked, still in a listening posture.
"Leader Florgloria, what are you doing here?"
Wu Liang's voice carried a hint of teasing.
Florgloria's heart skipped a beat, and a blush of embarrassment rushed to her face.
She hadn't expected Wu Liang to open the door so suddenly, catching her eavesdropping red-handed.
"I... I was just... passing by, checking on things..."
Her voice stuttered; even she felt the excuse was weak.
Wu Liang didn't say anything, just watched her quietly.
Under Wu Liang's gaze, Florgloria felt all her pretenses and excuses were laughable.
Hardening her heart, she simply gave up on making excuses.
She looked up and met Wu Liang's eyes.
"No, I wasn't just passing by. I came to find you."
"Find me?"
Wu Liang raised an eyebrow, looking the woman up and down with interest.
Florgloria was already strikingly curvaceous, and now, inside the Sauna Room area, her sweat-drenched clothes clung to her, highlighting her every curve.
The fullness of her ample hips created a high-impact visual effect.
Her gentle face was now filled with tension and a desperate determination.
This appearance lacked her usual composure and dignity, replaced by an indescribable allure.
"Yes, to find you."
Florgloria mustered her courage and repeated it once more.
Her gaze drifted over Wu Liang's shoulder, seeing Wei Xian and Eliza behind him, covering their vital parts.
"Oh?"
The curve of Wu Liang's lips widened. He stepped aside, revealing a clearer view of the Sauna Room's interior.
"Is there something that can't wait until tomorrow? You had to choose this time?"
His words seemed casual, yet they carried an invisible pressure.
Florgloria's heart pounded.
"Because... because some things are only suitable to be said at this time."
Florgloria's voice was very low.
"Is that so?"
Wu Liang's gaze swept unrestrainedly over her curves.
"Then tell me, what is it?"
Inside the Sauna Room, Wei Xian and Eliza remained silent, just watching quietly.
As Wu Liang's first women, they knew his personality all too well.
He enjoyed this feeling, especially seeing these once-lofty Female Leaders voluntarily casting aside their defenses and pride just to gain his favor.
"I..." She opened her mouth but found her throat too dry to make a sound.
Just as she was hesitating, Eliza's voice drifted out from inside:
"Liang, let Leader Florgloria come in and join us."
Hearing Eliza's words, Florgloria buried her head even deeper into her chest.
"Florgloria, do you... want to be mine?"
Wu Liang smiled faintly.
"Do you know what that means?"
"I know."
Florgloria suddenly looked up and met his gaze.
"Leader Wu Liang, let me be your woman."
"Haha! Excellent!"
Wu Liang nodded with satisfaction.
He leaned in close to her ear, his hot breath brushing against her earlobe, making her neck shrink back sensitively.
"Since you want to come in so badly,"
He said in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Then strip away those bothersome things yourself before coming in."
Florgloria was stunned, then she undid her bindings.
Her thin garments slid down.
A flash of admiration crossed Wu Liang's eyes.
He had long known Florgloria was exquisite, but the visual impact still made his heart race.
"Now, is it okay?"
She asked in a voice as quiet as a mosquito's buzz.
Wu Liang didn't answer; he scooped her up in his arms and turned back into the steamy Sauna Room.
With a bang of his heel, he shut the door firmly.
Wei Xian and Eliza watched Florgloria, who was held in Wu Liang's arms like a startled quail, with varying expressions.
"It seems we're going to have another sister tonight."
