Ke Mo picked up all the treasures and put them in the large wooden tub carved out of tree roots. Then he shouted outside for the waiter to prepare hot water.
Soon, steam filled the room, and the sweet fragrance of flowers and herbs permeated the air.
Ke Mo looked at the bath tub filled with flower petals, tested the water temperature, and found it similar to the Wanhua Eternal Spring. He then turned to the side:
“Ice Chunk, the water is ready. Come in.”
Ying Bing pursed her lips, her eyes filled with complex emotions:
“Is this today’s four dishes and one ‘soup’?”
“Huh?”
Ke Mo was taken aback.
He hadn’t made any soup that day because he came back late and was quite tired.
This soup wasn’t meant to be drunk…
“In the South Border, they call hot springs ‘soup’, oh~ did you think…”
“No.”
Ying Bing looked at him coldly.
“…Hmm.”
Ke Mo intended to explain, but recalling the scenery he saw during the massage last time, he remained silent.
As everyone knows, Ke Tianjiao has an extremely strong physique, capable of withstanding the pressure of four thousand soldiers and can even hammer on the head of a disaster beast.
But there are things even invulnerability can’t protect against.
He could be injured at any moment.
Honest self-reflection, Xiao Ke is a gentleman, but if he were to take a bowl of water from the bathtub she had used, he feared his mouth might act on its own.
Ke Mo earnestly said, “Take a bath, or it will get cold. Don’t… no, it won’t be comfortable if you don’t.”
Ying Bing held the big-headed doll, her voice faint, “Young Hero Ke, you truly are a gentleman…”
“That’s naturally so.”
Ke Mo maintained a serious demeanor.
Swoosh—
A rosy hue appeared, transforming into a small hand that pulled over the screen.
It divided the room into two, turning one side into a temporary bathroom.
“?”
Xiao Ke, the gentleman, stiffened slightly.
No, gentlemen also need to be cautious?
So, the most beautiful scenery in the world might just be separated by a single screen.
She was inside, he was outside.
The pearl lights illuminated the room brightly, more gentle and bright than candlelight, casting the woven screen into a spotless, pristine appearance like a blank movie screen.
The silhouette of the young girl projected onto it, making the interplay of light and shadow take shape, captivating the heart.
Crackling sounds emerged.
“Hmm? What’s that sound?”
The upright gentleman Xiao Ke sat at the table, analyzing the situation seriously.
That should be the sound of taking off socks…
Xiao Ke deeply inhaled, pinching himself hard.
The system had given so many rewards today, and he hadn’t had time to collect them yet!
Seventy-two transformations were complete, and now he needed to decipher the Cloud Somersault in *Wukong’s Quest for Enlightenment*!
Ke Mo, how could you be so decadent!
“I can’t let this go any further!”
Summoning the system, Ke Mo took a deep breath and began checking through the long list of rewards.
[Investment Feedback: Ten Rong Military Crossbow.]
[Rong Military Seven k*ll Crossbow: Made by the Master of Weapons Gong Sun Buju in his early years, it can be imbued with true energy, possessing extremely strong penetration capabilities. It cannot be stopped even by ordinary Inner Scenery Strongholds. Among weapons, it is considered a killing weapon.]
“Military equipment?”
Ke Mo’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Although this item was valuable, it couldn’t compare to what could be obtained from Ice Chunk or Little Princess Jiang.
This type of weapon had never been provided as feedback before, and he had rarely seen it.
Da Yu does not prohibit knives, swords, or weapons, and even allows bows, arrows, armor, and private armies.
However, anyone who privately possesses military equipment or killing weapons is considered to be plotting rebellion.
Therefore, Ke Mo had never seen such items in the Hengtong Trading Company in Yunzhou.
This Rong Military Seven k*ll Crossbow was a bronze-colored, deadly crossbow, fitting into this category.
[Investment Feedback: Fifty boxes of Thunderfire Bomb Pills]
[Thunderfire Bomb Pill]: “A genius alchemist, with innate talent, regardless of what kind of pill he refines, not only is it extremely easy to explode, but the explosion itself is extraordinary. It turns out he made a mistake during the bone test when he entered the sect; he was not a Fire-Wood bone, but a Fire-Thunder bone.
In the sect, he suffered ridicule and humiliation, so in anger, he joined the Great Yu Divine Machinery Camp, eventually becoming a master of military explosives. Using Thunderfire Bomb Pills, he blew up his former sect to the sky.”
…
[Investment Feedback: One piece of Mystic Crystal.]
[Investment Feedback: Ten thousand Breaking Curse Arrows.]
[Investment Feedback: One Peaceful Gold Lock.]
[Investment Feedback: A pair of Mother’s Patchwork Shoes.]
…
Among the subsequent rewards, apart from miscellaneous items, the valuable ones were Mystic Crystals and military equipment. There were about a thousand Mystic Crystals, and over seventeen types of military equipment, each in substantial quantities.
Looking at the Mystic Crystals and military equipment filling the system space, enough to support a small-scale battle.
Xiao Ke was lost in thought.
“System, you’ve been a bit too generous recently.”
These rewards couldn’t be used except in extremely special circumstances, right?
Even if he dared to sell them, no one would buy them. If discovered, it would mean trouble for the entire family.
He already had military rations.
If the system gave him a yellow robe next, it might really make him want to raise a banner.
Well, he mustn’t let his master know.
At that time, she would definitely claim herself as Empress Dowager and make the Elder Han He the Crown Prince.
“I hope these rewards won’t be needed. It’s best if they rot away in the system space.”
Ke Mo shook his head, dispelling the image from his mind.
Let’s focus on deciphering the Cloud Somersault…
He took a seven-pattern Clear Heart Pill, and retrieved *Wukong’s Quest for Enlightenment*.
“Only Brother Monkey can keep me calm.”
The upright gentleman Xiao Ke was about to focus his mind.
Swoosh—
Water sounds came from beside him.
In the shimmering bath tub, Ying Bing was about to get up when she suddenly froze, bl**d rising to her snow-white neck.
She forgot something.
Her birthday was coming up, and she would turn seventeen soon. Her body was growing rapidly.
Her tight-fitting clothes were no longer suitable. The Jade Phoenix form could change her appearance and clothing accordingly, but that didn’t include underwear.
She intended to buy some today.
But when she reached into the young man’s pocket, she forgot about it.
She couldn’t leave empty-handed…
“…”
Ying Bing grabbed the big-headed doll floating on the water surface and searched within.
A few seconds later.
Plop—
The Q-version Xiao Ke fell onto the water surface in front of her chest, splashing water.
Ying Bing pressed her jade-like lips together, hugging her long legs as she sat in the bath tub.
Not there.
After a few seconds, a clear and cold voice came from behind the screen:
“Ke Mo, I forgot something.”
“What is it?”
“Clothes.”
…
