Chapter 439: Shared Bathing
“Is it delicious, Young Master?” Tao Jiu’er asked with eager anticipation.
“Very tasty,” Yun Zhonghe praised sincerely.
“That’s wonderful! Young Master, try this too! It’s your favorite oyster! These oysters were carefully raised in a sea rich with spiritual energy for a long time. The quality is top-notch. I even specially added garlic and vermicelli according to your taste. The flavor will definitely be amazing!” As she spoke, Tao Jiu’er picked up an oyster and brought it to Yun Zhonghe’s mouth.
“Is it like this? Let me try.”
Although Yun Zhonghe couldn’t recall if he ever had this taste preference, seeing the hopeful look on Tao Jiu’er’s face, he couldn’t bear to refuse. So he smiled and took the oyster, gently biting into it.
What’s more, the freshness of the oyster mixed with the rich aroma of garlic and vermicelli danced around in his mouth—it was indeed incredibly delicious.
“Yummy!” Yun Zhonghe’s eyes instantly lit up.
“That’s great! Since you like it so much, finish them all! We can’t waste any!” Tao Jiu’er beamed like a blooming flower.
“Cough, cough, cough. Finish them all? That’s a bit much.”
Yun Zhonghe stared at the mountain of oysters piled up in front of him.
He had a bad feeling about this.
Tao Jiu’er smirked playfully, “Don’t worry, Young Master! We are cultivators, we have the ability to speed up digestion! Plus, you’re in recovery, and your body needs a lot of nutrition to heal, so you must supplement more! Come on, eat up! Don’t let my efforts go to waste!”
With that, she shoved another oyster into Yun Zhonghe’s mouth.
Each oyster was the size of a fist, with thin, fragile shells; just a gentle pull revealed the plump meat inside. Eating them all would definitely feel heavy.
She even mentioned that she had more oysters saved up if Yun Zhonghe didn’t have enough; she could roast some for him on the spot.
“Enough, enough! Eating the same thing will make me sick!”
“True, then how about trying this turtle soup? I specially added precious herbs like deer antler and epimedium, which will greatly benefit your recovery!”
Yun Zhonghe: “…”
Oh no! It’s a kidney crisis!
“Jiu’er, it seems your food preparations are a bit too focused on one area, don’t you think?”
Tao Jiu’er blinked innocently, “Is that so? It might just be your imagination. I’m just worried about your health, Young Master! I want you to heal quickly and have a stronger body.”
“Uh…” Yun Zhonghe fell silent for a moment, acutely aware of the undeniable aura emanating from Tao Jiu’er.
Just as he suspected, though he was the Young Master, he felt a bit intimidated by Tao Jiu’er.
He had previously wondered why, and now it seemed the reason was clear.
She had a bit of a possessive streak when she got serious.
At that moment, she radiated happiness, her eyes crescent-shaped, long lashes fluttering, captivatingly beautiful, and he simply couldn’t bear to ruin the moment.
So he reluctantly agreed, “Alright, okay.”
With Yun Zhonghe’s response, Tao Jiu’er’s smile was even more dazzling: “Hee hee, now that’s correct! Young Master is really good, really good!”
“By the way, can’t I eat by myself?”
“Not allowed! A servant must provide meticulous service to the Young Master!”
Unable to argue with her, under Tao Jiu’er’s attentive service, Yun Zhonghe devoured every single delicious item on the table.
However, it was surprising; the cultivator’s body was indeed magical. Even with such a staggering amount, he miraculously felt no signs of fullness at all.
After the meal, Tao Jiu’er took it upon herself to clean the table while Yun Zhonghe decided to take a hot bath first.
Although cultivators didn’t easily accumulate dirt, it was good hygiene for a kid to bathe properly.
“Ahh… I’m alive again…”
Yun Zhonghe sighed deeply as he relaxed and sank into the bath.
The hot water in the tub released curls of steam, infused with specially selected herbs, blending their fragrance with the steam, aiding in his recovery and rejuvenating his slightly fatigued body and mind after battle.
In this warm and fragrant embrace, he genuinely felt a sense of “life is wonderfully good” and tranquility.
Yun Zhonghe gently splashed hot water on his face, reflecting on his current situation, feeling a bit worried and uneasy.
Having lost his past memories, the future was also a mystery—a situation that naturally left him anxious.
“Thank goodness Jiu’er is here.”
Yun Zhonghe felt a deep sense of gratitude.
Although she was a bit quirky, he could deeply sense Tao Jiu’er’s sincere and fervent love for him. The realization that “she definitely wouldn’t harm herself” had etched itself into Yun Zhonghe’s heart, making her the strongest pillar during this trying time.
In such a difficult moment, Tao Jiu’er’s feelings were incredibly precious.
He couldn’t help but think they must have been a very loving pair before.
Just as Yun Zhonghe stretched lazily, he heard a bubbling sound from below the hot water—
Ploop! Ploop!
What was that? Was it bubbles…?
Yun Zhonghe wondered, leaning forward involuntarily, preparing to investigate.
However, just as he was about to see the mysterious source—
Whoosh! Bam!!!
The utterly soaked Tao Jiu’er naturally popped up from under the water, appearing right in front of him.
“Ta-da! Young Master, your beloved Tao Jiu’er has logged on~!”
In that moment, Yun Zhonghe was left speechless.
Her skin, white and rosy, flawless like porcelain, with curves that could make anyone swoon, enticing collarbones, round and perky chest, slim and taut waist, ample and perky backside, and two long, delicate, and exquisitely shaped legs that looked like they could be broken if you blew on them…
Yun Zhonghe was mesmerized, utterly entranced, completely forgetting where he was.
His nose felt like something warm was about to spill out.
“J-Jiu’er?! Why…”
After what felt like an eternity, Yun Zhonghe finally snapped out of his beautiful daze, hastily shifting his gaze, his face now a bright shade of red, instinctively covering himself with his hands.
Little Yun Zhonghe was fired up, seemingly cheering for this sudden visual treat and ready for a fight.
Yun Zhonghe desperately tried to suppress his inner urges, but Tao Jiu’er’s figure was deeply engraved in his mind, especially those secret places that belonged solely to her, an image that he simply couldn’t shake off.
“Oh dear, Young Master, your face is so red~”
Tao Jiu’er asked, feigning surprise, before revealing a mischievous expression: “Could it be that it’s because the sumptuous dinner I prepared made you too comfortable?”
How very inappropriate to mention that now.
After being fed so many nourishing goodies, combined with this sudden shock, it felt like a heat wave was surging inside him.
