Chapter 331 - 329: Absorbing Cold Qi
This was the first time in her life that she did something like this with a man. If it weren’t for the method given by the old Hall Master specifying that men and women must bathe together, she wouldn’t have done such an embarrassing thing.
Being scolded like this, Chen Tianlong didn’t dare to make a sound. This woman had quite a quirky temperament, changing faster than the weather in June. He didn’t want to provoke her, only to have her summon her thousands of female soldiers to besiege him—that would be a big problem.
"OK!"
Chen Tianlong made an "OK" gesture and started to undress to the side.
After all, he was a big man. If someone told him to take it off, he would. What’s there to worry about? He wasn’t going to be at a disadvantage anyway.
When he got to the last line of defense, Chen Tianlong hesitated for a moment, deciding to leave it for now and deal with it in the bathroom.
"Chen Tianlong, come in!"
A few minutes later, a voice suddenly came from the bathroom, cold yet tinged with a hint of gentleness, which was the result of Bing Ruxue taking a deep breath again.
At this moment, she felt as if her face was no longer her own, burning hot. If it was just about showing some arms, she could barely accept it, but... now she was soaking in the water in the nude.
Even though there were many pink petals floating on the water, no matter how many petals there were, it was impossible for them to cover everything completely. From time to time, through the gaps between the petals, some scenery underwater could still be seen.
"Got it!"
After hearing Bing Ruxue’s call, Chen Tianlong walked in, still wearing a pair of briefs. When he reached the bathroom door and saw the scene inside, his eyes almost popped out.
Whoa!
Could it be that this chick really wanted him to soak with her? Was she not wearing anything either?
He might have been fine before, but imagining this made Chen Tianlong a little restless, as if a million little ants were biting him, making him a bit hot and anxious.
"Chen Tianlong, hurry up and get in here, what are you standing there for?" Bing Ruxue held her breath and continued, "Also, before you come in, remember... to take it off."
Bing Ruxue pointed at Chen Tianlong’s waist and then tightly closed her eyes.
"Oh, got it."
Without thinking, Chen Tianlong just stepped in. After all, it was just a bath, there’s nothing to worry about. Now that Mengting was fine, sacrificing a bit of image was worth it.
"Splash!"
Chen Tianlong jumped directly in, causing water to ripple inside and petals to float everywhere. As a result, some obvious scenery in the water became visible, making Chen Tianlong stare.
"You brat, what are you doing? Was it on purpose?"
Bing Ruxue opened her eyes, only to find the water surface uneven, with some parts of her body appearing and disappearing. Feeling like she wanted to dig a hole and hide, she angrily complained.
This was truly embarrassing.
"Sorry, I went in a bit heavily!"
Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly. He hadn’t expected such a scene either, and his face turned slightly red as well, given how sudden everything was.
If it weren’t for Chen Tianlong’s self-control, anyone else seeing such a beautiful sight right in front of them, like a hungry wolf colored up, would have pounced over.
"Chen Tianlong, later we’ll start absorbing the cold Qi, but I have two requests. One, you can’t look into the water, and two, don’t sneak over to my side. If I catch you, I’ll cripple you immediately!"
Bing Ruxue warned.
"Well... I’ll try my best!"
Chen Tianlong purposely said, he was a bit excited, but not to the point of being overwhelmed with emotion—he had his principles.
If a woman wasn’t Chen Tianlong’s and it wasn’t voluntary, he wouldn’t touch them, unless for revenge.
"Hmph, not try, you must. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Bing Ruxue warned again and started running her Heartless Technique. The water in the bathtub was not just ordinary water but brewed with various medicinal herbs, making it appear less clear.
Otherwise, the previous scene couldn’t have left Chen Tianlong so calm. Even if his nose didn’t bleed, drool would have flowed.
After all, in front of him was a top-notch beauty!
Chen Tianlong let out a bitter smile, chanting his incantation, as their palms instantly touched each other. That subtle feeling arose again, causing both their bodies to tremble slightly.
However, they found it inconvenient to get distracted while doing this, so they focused once more.
Sure enough, Chen Tianlong could feel a cold Qi slowly moving into his body, evidently being absorbed from the other party.
At that moment, he suddenly had an idea—if this cold poison was absorbed into his system, would it later be him facing the cold poison wreaking havoc on his heart?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong had an urge to withdraw his palm, but he had promised to do this. Even if it really meant letting the cold Qi attack his heart, he’d see it through—as if using his life to save Wu Mengting’s life!
Bing Ruxue’s heart surged with stormy waves; she couldn’t believe she actually had feelings for Chen Tianlong. Even when using the Heartless Technique, his image frequently appeared in her mind, making it hard to dispel.
To avoid going into demonic possession, she could only try her best to control herself...
Both had their own thoughts, maintaining this position for a full hour.
"Phew... it’s done!"
Suddenly, Bing Ruxue withdrew her hand, took a deep breath, and said.
"Oh, what’s next to do?"
Chen Tianlong said with a mischievous smile.
"Hmph, don’t even think about it. Close your eyes, no peeking, I’ll get up first."
Bing Ruxue directly exposed Chen Tianlong’s mischievous thoughts, sternly saying.
"Oh!"
Chen Tianlong let out a bitter smile and really closed his eyes.
This time, he truly closed them. He didn’t want any more complications and just wanted to finish the task quickly and then leave this place with Wu Mengting.
About three minutes later, a voice from outside said, "Okay, you can get dressed and leave now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong promptly stood up, stepped out of the bathtub, wiped himself with a towel, and ran over in his briefs.
At this time, Bing Ruxue was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, and it was unclear if she was really dressed.
Chen Tianlong didn’t think too much, quickly got dressed, and prepared to leave the room.
"Chen Tianlong..."
Bing Ruxue suddenly called out, but when Chen Tianlong turned around, she hesitated, "Will you come back to the Ice Hall in the future? Oh, I mean, if I have another episode, can you continue to help me?"
"Well... am I supposed to specially come here to take a bath? It’s not very convenient!"
Chen Tianlong grinned as he spoke.
"Hmph, if you don’t come, then don’t come. I’ll come to find you, let’s see what you do then?"
"Oh my, you scared me. Let’s see how you’d find me!"
With that, Chen Tianlong dashed out of the room. He wasn’t sure whether Bing Ruxue would change her mind later, so he quickly had Wu Mengting and the others ready and swiftly left.
Matchmaker also agreed with their idea, as even she wasn’t entirely sure about the odd temperament of this Hall Master.
Ouyang Meijia bid farewell to the Matchmaker, and the group quickly retreated, only to find Chen Tianlong’s car buried halfway in snow. Fortunately, Ouyang Meijia and Chen Tianlong both knew martial arts and were strong, so they quickly cleared the snow from the car.
