Volume 2 Chapter 39: A Bathtub and Three Pretty Boys
Not being knocked down by people, but was knocked down by Long Huang instead. The position of the fall wasn't good and it hurt a lot.
"Who?!" A stern voice suddenly came from behind the screen, which was neither Hou Xuan nor Nan Gong Qiu Yue, but a young man's voice that seemed to be a weak roar.
"Madam! Is that Madam?!" At this time, Hou Xuan's voice was also somewhat weak. Then, a slightly staggering footsteps were heard, and soon Hou Xuan appeared at the edge of the tall screen. When I saw Hou Xuan, I was so shocked that I forgot to get up from the ground.
His skin was a healthy wheat color, but such a complexion would turn waxen once the luster was gone, and his originally crimson lips were now pale. He stood leaning against the screen, as if without it he would hardly have had the strength to stand at all. In just these few days since they'd last met, he looked so worn out, like a desiccated corpse drained of blood.
"Madam, you've finally arrived." He rushed towards me, his deep eye sockets making his black eyeballs seem even larger, like two caverns, which made my heart ache.
"Later, Hou Xian, what are you doing?" I caught his body, he hugged me and weakly gasped: "Save me."
"Alright, alright, but how to save?"
"Will you help me in first?" His tone was now almost a whisper, I immediately helped him up and we walked around the white tiger screen. In an instant, four old men sitting with their backs against the wall came into my view. Their faces were all as pale as dead ash, each with sunken eye sockets and protruding cheekbones, just like they had crawled out of a grave. They sat with their eyes closed and legs crossed, seemingly meditating.
"These few are the four great elders of the Beggar Clan."
The four elders heard the sound of Hou Xian's voice and slowly opened their eyes. When they saw me, they were all shocked and widened their eyes in surprise.
"Less nonsense, now is not the time for joking!" an elder rebuked.
"Yes, Lord Meng. Human life is at stake, we need a master, not a young lady, or are our words unclear?"
"You must be unclear in your speech, tall and slender, like a maiden."
"Cough, cough, cough! What's going on? Nonsense! This is utter nonsense!"
The four elderly men all started coughing and immediately steadied their breathing.
"Don't underestimate the lady, she has enough internal energy to equal four of you!" Hou Xuan's sudden words shocked me. He knew my physical condition well because he often helped me adjust my internal energy and assisted me in mastering it quickly, but he had never told me how deep my internal energy was. Today, I was greatly surprised by this revelation. I didn't expect Ghost Uncle to give me so much.
"Nonsense!" The elders directly negated Hou Xian's words, and Hou Xian gave them a white eye, saying to me: "Madam, don't mind them, help me turn around."
"Oh." I was shocked by my own profound inner strength, my brain a bit dizzy, unsure whether it was good or bad. At first, Feng Qingya's inner strength had always made me vomit blood, and now it was even more than that. Would I spit out blood?
Turning around, a large bathtub appeared in my eyes, with two wet and handsome men inside. This is too stimulating for my little heart! The previous moment, I was looking at an old corpse-like figure. The next moment, it's two sexy men sitting face to face in the bathtub with flushed faces! Their sexiness comes from their water-soaked robes.
And one of them was only wearing a white silk undergarment, which had been completely soaked through by the water, revealing the warm jade skin hidden underneath. And what's with the pink, bulging clothes? Is that shrimp?
"Wow!" I'm really fed up!
"Madam! Don't be angry, it's not worth getting angry over those few old-fashioned words."
Hou Xian thought I was angry because I was being underestimated, but in fact I couldn't bear the strong stimulation caused by this sudden contrast. Also, it was the first time I used qinggong to walk so far, and my breath had not yet stabilized. Of course, the latter is the root cause, and the former is also a factor.
"This, this, this..."
"Madam, take a good look, who is he?" The back of his hand pointed to the man wearing only underwear, how embarrassing, just now when I saw two people "taking a bath together", I only looked down and didn't see their faces clearly.
To avoid being stimulated again, I decided to look at another one who was dressed neatly. Because the long hair of the person behind had fallen down and almost covered his entire face, it was hard to see clearly for a while.
The man opposite him was wearing a plain white long shirt, and outside the long shirt was a fishing net. This fishing net was different from what Hou Xuan wore every day, with more obvious gaps and thicker ropes. It wasn't black like Hou Xuan's, but a simple beige color, giving off an air of a knight-errant and a carefree wanderer.
Above, a face with an exceptionally upright spirit, clear and dense eyebrows are now tightly knotted together, tightly closed eyes make it impossible for me to see his eye shape, but I can tell that the corners of his eyes are slightly upturned. A straight nose bridge is below tightly pursed lips, and there are sparse whiskers on his chin, exuding a heroic spirit all over his body.
Attack! One word, jumped out of my mind, stroked my chest, finally breathed smoothly. I like this attack, it's handsome. Turned around and looked at the person opposite him, his long hair was wet and covered most of his face, but I'm sure he wasn't Nangong Qiuxue, because just that sharp eye corner didn't belong to Nangong Qiuxue.
Nangong Qiuye's five senses are ordinary, with ordinary eyebrows, ordinary eyes and ordinary lips, but these ordinary features that can't be more ordinary form a face with extremely high affinity.
And this person had long eyebrows and long eye corners. Without looking closely again, I asked Hou Xuan: "What did you come to me for?"
"Madam, don't you recognize him?" Hou Xian said in surprise. "I thought you were hiding from him because you saw his true appearance." Hou Xian's words were very soft, and his voice only gathered at my ear.
"Th...". I seemed to know something from Hou Xuan's eyes. Suddenly, I stared blankly in shock, "You said he is..."
The back of his head nodded like pounding garlic, I immediately took a deep breath, the result was that the thick ginseng flavor in the air made me cough: "Cough, cough, cough..."
"Madam, madam, ah, never mind, saving people is more important." Hou Xian seemed to have recovered a bit of strength and dragged me towards those two "bathing together" men. No way, I don't play 3P!
"He has suffered a severe loss of internal energy, and his meridians are severely damaged. Everyone took turns using their true qi to repair his meridians and restore his true strength. Now it's the most critical moment, but our leader, the elder, and I have all exhausted our true energy. I really don't have time to find someone else, so I can only ask you, madam, for help."
"Damn it, why do good things always forget about me?" I pulled myself back, and with one hand grasping the edge of the bucket, I refused to let go. A hoarse voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "Madam... saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda..."
"Get out of my way!" I said, starting a standoff with Hou Xian.
"Less nonsense!" Suddenly, a stern voice came over, I recognized this voice, it was the unpleasant voice when I entered the door. I looked to one side and saw that it was precisely that grand but decadent hero who had just spoken about the leader of the gang. Could he be the leader of the Beggar Gang?
He still had his eyes closed at this time, as if he was about to enter the most critical moment: "Can't you be quiet for a while! If you can't find an expert, don't make trouble!"
"What's the point of saving him if he's just going to die anyway, you fool!" The angry shout echoed in the room, and I stared blankly at Hou Xuan, who was furious for the first time. The atmosphere was tense, but why did my depraved heart keep drifting towards the wrong place, especially when I was standing in front of the bathtub with these three handsome men?
"Get out of the way and let the lady come!" The tone of this command didn't seem strange to me at all, he had always been so arrogant.
"Stop it..." was originally a stern rebuke but had become a weak whisper due to his exhaustion.
"It's almost over, yet you're still clinging on!" Hou Xuan's anger suddenly turned into a strong grip on my wrist, he abruptly turned his face to look at me, with determined eyes under his tightly knitted brows: "Madam, I can only apologize to you!"
"You, you, you..."
Suddenly, he pulled me towards him with a forceful tug, hugged me tightly, and the next moment threw me into the bathtub.
"Draw back!"
"Whoa!" I was suddenly tossed between two men, the thick medicinal and ginseng flavors of the bathwater flooded into my mouth. I said I wouldn't do mixed bathing, but I didn't know who I touched, and started climbing up his body. Sorry, sorry, it really wasn't on purpose...
