for Advance Chapter
At dinner time, the atmosphere at the dining table really had new changes.
With Jingliu, the "Master," sitting by, Rappa was clearly much better behaved.
Although her eyes still shined when she saw delicacies, her eating movements were restrained a lot, and she no longer talked nonsense about "ninja anecdotes" with March 7th with grand gestures like at noon.
Even so, she occasionally still couldn't help but make a few small exclamations because she ate something especially delicious, or her movements were a bit bigger when competing for food with March 7th, Silver Wolf, and the others.
Whenever this happened, there was no need for me or Lingsha to speak, the Jingliu beside her would glance at her coldly, and then, in that cold voice, speak unhurriedly: "Those who practice martial arts pay attention to a heart like still water. Inner tranquility, only then can you sense the flow of Qi. At mealtime, one should be even calmer, chew slowly, this is also a kind of cultivation, which helps to stabilize the foundation and improve cultivation."
"Yes! Master Jingliu! Disciple understands!" As soon as Rappa heard Jingliu's words, she immediately stood up straight like a primary school student being scolded by the dean, put down her chopsticks, and replied respectfully.
Then, she really started to learn from Jingliu, eating in small bites, quietly, even the sound of chewing was deliberately lowered a lot.
Watching the secondary-school girl who was jumping up and down like a runaway horse a moment ago, now behaving like a sheep in front of Master Jingliu, and being disciplined until she was obedient, the heart that had been hanging for a long time could finally be completely relaxed.
This... does this count as accidentally solving a major "unstable factor" in the villa? It seems it really is "one thing subjugates another"!
After dinner, everyone dispersed.
Looking at Rappa who was much better behaved after being "conquered" by Jingliu, I could finally sigh in relief.
These days, between dismantling traps and dealing with her secondary-school-level statements, I felt my nerves were a bit weak, and it was time to take a good bath and relax.
The weather tonight was exceptionally good; the thick fog cleared, and even little bits of starlight could be seen in the night sky, and the moonlight was also very clear.
I wrapped myself in a bath towel and came to the outdoor hot spring pool in the courtyard.
The warm spring water instantly wrapped my whole body, dispelling the fatigue of a day.
A layer of faint mist floated on the water surface, and under the light of the moonlight and the courtyard, it was like a fairyland.
I leaned comfortably against the smooth stone, letting the warm water massage my body, completely relaxing my body and mind.
There was also a mini bar brought with the villa floating in the bath, with iced juice and drinks on it.
I picked up a glass of cold juice and drank it comfortably.
Hmm... This is life...
However, this peaceful enjoyment didn't last long.
I was closing my eyes and resting, enjoying the rare moment of relaxation, but the corner of my eye caught sight of something moving on the water surface.
I opened my eyes, only to see a thin... bamboo tube? It was like a submarine's periscope, quietly extending from under the water, and then slowly moving toward my direction.
What is this? Some kind of underwater detector? Or...
Just as I was observing carefully, full of doubt, the water surface near that bamboo tube suddenly "splashed" and broke! A silhouette abruptly drilled out from the water, bringing up a large splash!
Looking closely, with that iconic pink long ponytail, who else could it be but Rappa?!
At this time, Rappa was also only wrapped in a white bath towel of the same style as mine!
Because she had just come out of the water, the bath towel was completely soaked, sticking tightly to her body, outlining her graceful figure full of youthful vitality.
Especially on her chest, because of the wrapping and squeezing of the bath towel, the soft "Northern Hemisphere," although not particularly huge, but with a quite perfect shape, was about to pop out, and the fair skin was glowing with alluring luster under the embellishment of water droplets.
Her soaking wet pink long hair was messily stuck to her cheeks and neck, lacking the usual flamboyance and jumpiness, but instead, because of this wet-body posture like a lotus out of water, she appeared exceptionally... charming and moving.
To be honest, because of Rappa's usual careless, hot-headed secondary-school personality, I don't seem to have carefully appreciated the appearance and figure of this beautiful girl.
Looking at it from a close distance now, I realized that, putting aside her disappointing personality, Rappa is actually a top-tier, vibrant, and unique-charming beautiful girl in a million!
Just as I was concentrating on appreciating this rare "wet ninja" scenery with a different style, and even a little bit of ambiguous thought was emerging in my heart...
Rappa spoke.
She wiped the water droplets on her face, looked at me, revealed an incredibly serious and solemn expression on her face, and said earnestly in her consistent tone full of secondary-school-level settings:
"Master Bat Ninja! I... have one thing unclear, and need to ask for your advice!"
Pff—
Hearing this secondary-school-level speech of "ninja," "master," and "ask for advice" that came out of her attractive posture, the little bit of ambiguous thought that I had just raised instantly disappeared like a punctured balloon.
This contrast... is really too funny! I instantly lost all interest, feeling only a bit dumbfounded.
