Chapter 297 -31: Overnight Bathing

Xie Mansion.

“Sir!”

Xie Xiaojiu lit the candle and was startled by the sight of Jiang Ning, who had already appeared in the room.

Soundlessly, he had reached right in front of her without her knowing it.

Such unpredictable methods proved that if Jiang Ning wanted to kill her, it would require no effort at all.

“Sir!” After being startled, Xie Xiaojiu steadied herself and then spoke.

Jiang Ning said, “I will be troubling you quite a bit these next few days.”

Xie Xiaojiu shook her head repeatedly, “It’s fine! As long as Sir doesn’t mind the simplicity of my residence, that’s all that matters! Also…”

Upon saying this, she suddenly showed a trace of hesitation.

Then she continued, “Since I do not fancy being served by servants, there are no serving staff in the yard where I live. If you need anything, I can serve you in place of a servant.”

Towards the end, Xie Xiaojiu’s calm expression hidden under the candlelight couldn’t help but reveal a touch of modest embarrassment.

Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head, “I too come from an ordinary family and do not have the habits of scions from great clans!”

Hearing these words, Xie Xiaojiu instantly let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

Then she said, “Sir, there is only one bed here. Can you sleep in my bed later? The bedding on my bed was just aired out the day before yesterday and is very clean! Moreover, I bathe before bed each day.”

“What about you?” Jiang Ning looked at Xie Xiaojiu with a half-smiling gaze.

Xie Xiaojiu replied, “I can just find a lounge chair to sleep on for the night!”

“If it really comes to that, wouldn’t you resent me?”

“Why would I resent?” Xie Xiaojiu shook her head, her high ponytail swaying from side to side, “Sir has shown great kindness to me! I have always kept it in mind! I am more than happy to be able to help Sir!”

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Ning’s lips curved into a smile, “How could I have the heart to occupy a young lady’s bed? I can just find somewhere to sleep for the night.”

“Sir…” Xie Xiaojiu was about to speak when Jiang Ning directly interrupted her, “There’s no need to discuss this further, just comply with it obediently!”

Xie Xiaojiu then nodded slightly, “Yes, Sir!”

After their discussion, Jiang Ning stood up and walked towards the outside of the room.

Since it was still early and with formidable enemies surrounding them, he naturally had to take advantage of the time to enhance his own strength.

He came to Xie Xiaojiu’s courtyard.

There, Jiang Ning found a suitable spot and immediately continued refining the Dragon Tiger Refining Muscle Pill within his body.

On the other side.

Xie Xiaojiu observed Jiang Ning in the room for a moment and, seeing that he was completely absorbed in his cultivation, she finally turned and took her clothes from the wardrobe.

With such hot weather, she naturally wanted to take a nice bath after returning home to relax her mind and body.

Otherwise, with sweat on her body, she wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully.

Normally there was no one in the courtyard where she lived, so she could act freely.

But now it was different.

Living under the same roof as Jiang Ning, it wasn’t proper for her to ask him to leave and avoid impropriety.

She could only take the opportunity to bathe while Jiang Ning was absorbed in his cultivation.

…

After the bathwater was ready.

Xie Xiaojiu quietly closed the room door and pulled down the window.

Then, a stealthy sound of undressing echoed followed by the beauty’s silhouette reflected by the candlelight, slowly stepping into the bathtub.

At this moment, Jiang Ning had just finished a cycle of cultivation and when he looked up, he saw the beautiful silhouette reflected on the window.

He was momentarily stunned.

Splash splash——

Splash splash——

Hearing the sound of water pouring, he could only smile wryly and shake his head.

He had indeed forgotten that living under the same roof as a woman could be quite inconvenient.

Just by listening to the sound of running water beside him, he couldn’t help but feel his qi-blood rising and his thoughts becoming restless.

Faced with the surge of his qi-blood and the instincts of his body, Jiang Ning could only shake his head helplessly and dispel the distracting thoughts from his mind.

Afterward.

He continued to enter a meditative state, envisioning a furnace, using his own qi-blood as the fuel to refine the pills within his body, concentrating their essence and purging the impurities.

…

Over half an hour later.

Creak—

Xie Xiaojiu stealthily pushed open the door and peered through the crack, stealing a glance at where Jiang Ning was. Seeing him still completely absorbed, she let out a relieved breath.

Then, she pushed the door open.

Carrying a large bucket of bathwater, she walked outside.

Xie Xiaojiu at this time was completely different from before.

Her tied-up long hair was now spread out, softening her demeanor.

Droplets of water from the tips of her hair would occasionally form and fall onto her slender shoulders and her fair, jade-like arms.

She wore a long black ruqun that reached her calves, stepping over the threshold, tiptoeing, and sneaking to the other side of the yard.

Because after bathing, she was only wearing this one garment.

Typically, she could loosen any bindings and relax comfortably without constraints, enjoying the rare moment of relaxation when alone in her own courtyard.

But now, with a man in the yard and Jiang Ning present.

She felt an immediate surge of nervousness and tension walking out in just that ruqun.

That nervousness and tension even gave her a subtle, almost imperceptible thrill.

Arriving at the backyard, she dumped out the bathwater she was carrying, then turned and walked towards the front yard where Jiang Ning was.

Stepping through a round arch doorway and seeing Jiang Ning’s slowly opening eyes looking over.

Xie Xiaojiu’s face suddenly flushed deeply red.

The relaxation she felt from unbinding her chest was comforting, but now it only caused her great embarrassment.

Only she knew just how much more pronounced it was to wear only a ruqun with the binding of her chest undone.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes and saw the momentarily astonished Xie Xiaojiu.

He too was momentarily taken aback.

His eyesight was now exceptionally keen.
