Chapter 343: From Today On, Learning to Go to the Bathroom Alone
Well, as much as Yun Zhonghe was aware that Chen Leling had about zero concept of shame and behaved like a wild animal—freely and untamed—he still wished she would tone it down a bit, even if just a tiny bit of modesty would be nice.
Even though Chen Leling didn’t understand human concepts of shame, she picked up on Yun Zhonghe’s change in expression quickly. Those pale and bewildered eyes turned towards him, showing a hint of fear, thinking she might have done something wrong.
Her innocent and wronged expression seemed to be asking, “Are you mad at me?”
It wasn’t that he was exactly mad, just that Yun Zhonghe realized there was still a lot of work to do.
“It’s fine, now that it’s out there, we can’t help it, so go ahead.”
“Ah oo~”
With his permission, she released all her inhibitions and comfortably relieved herself.
“Come to think of it, do zombies pee too?”
Yun Zhonghe felt a bit curious at this moment.
He recalled living with Chen Leling in a cave during those days, never seeing an instance like this.
Could she have snuck off somewhere before?
There was another possibility: maybe when she was more pure zombie, she didn’t need to go, but now, she seemed to be regaining her humanity, eating human food, and her body was slowly changing, aligning more with humans.
Since she ate normally, it’s only natural for her to expel waste afterward.
But it shouldn’t always be in the courtyard.
Although Outer Gate Disciples lived far enough from each other to maintain privacy, someone might stumble upon her and create quite a stir.
Only Yun Zhonghe hadn’t told her where to go, and now he’ll have to teach her how to use chamber pots and such things.
Thinking all these, he turned his head away.
“Ah, owo~”
At first, the water dripping could be heard urgently, gradually becoming sparse until it stopped.
Chen Leling let out a cheerful noise.
“Oh… wait, do you have any paper?” Yun Zhonghe suddenly remembered a critical issue and looked at Chen Leling.
“Mmm…” Chen Leling looked puzzled, those big round eyes full of confusion.
“Well, you wouldn’t carry paper on you.”
Leaving without wiping isn’t acceptable.
Though productivity was lacking, tuists were wealthier than commoners. After using the toilet, wiping was mandatory.
Not only for hygiene, but also as a sign of a tuist’s cultivation.
He reached into his pocket and found some tissues, his usual carry.
But Chen Leling wouldn’t know how to use them.
Indeed, when he handed the tissues to her, her head tilted, and those eyes filled with question marks, completely clueless.
So… does this mean Yun Zhonghe has to do it himself?!
Just imagining that possibility made his face flush.
But, he can’t just leave it!
Sighing, Yun Zhonghe took a deep breath, asking her to stay still.
Then, he slowly extended the tissue with great care, trying to be as gentle as possible.
“Uh!”
As his fingers touched Chen Leling’s soft and smooth skin, she shivered but showed no resistance.
She trusted him entirely, believing he wouldn’t harm her, so despite the strange feeling, she accepted being gently wiped.
The strange tingling sensation spread through their touch.
“Haa… haa… ao…”
Chen Leling instinctively made low, slightly breathy sounds, causing Yun Zhonghe’s heart to race. He silently recited a calmness mantra.
Don’t make weird noises!
A heat wave surged inside him.
Suddenly, faint footsteps approached.
Gradually, he sensed someone nearby.
Surely, another disciple passing by.
His heart raced; seeing him wipe Chen Leling would ruin his reputation!
Throwing the tissue aside, he grabbed her arm and swiftly moved them to his room.
“Phew… Phew…”
Once inside, he leaned against the door, panting heavily, sweat beads forming on his forehead. It was clear he was very tense.
In contrast, Chen Leling seemed incredibly excited, as if she had just accomplished a big task, all stress gone.
Yun Zhonghe shook his head, forced a wry smile, “Leling, next time you need to go, do it here, understood?”
Pointing at the corner of the room, he carefully guided her.
Picking up the chamber pot, he explained its usage step-by-step.
“Wow~~~”
Chen Leling’s eyes shone looking at the elegant pot.
She must be marveling at how ingenious yet practical such a tool could be.
But then, who cares? In Yun Zhonghe’s world, there were flushed toilets and even smart ones.
Still, judging from how much she suppressed herself earlier, she knew better than to just relieve herself anywhere.
Maybe her memory of being human is coming back gradually.
For Yun Zhonghe, this was a relief. Having to start from scratch with everything was exhausting.
To demonstrate how to use the chamber pot, Yun Zhonghe swallowed his embarrassment and acted out the female posture, patiently showing the correct way to use it.
