Chapter 8: Master Is Naked! (1/2)

Seeing Tao Er coming in, I was startled for a moment. And in my moment of trance, Lian’er had already pa.s.sed the towel to Tao Er, left silently, and closed the door.

I shuddered, walking over to him silently. I pulled the towel and wrapped it around me.

How come he had not changed the habit for so many years? I admitted that it was my fault to break into his hot spring when he was bathing. But there was no need to take it to heart, and to break into when I was taking a bath from time to time.

In fact, it really wasn’t my fault. At that time, I just fled from the imperial capital and sneaked into Baihong Heights. I heard that Tao Qing, the owner of Baihong Heights was kindhearted and righteous. How could I ever know that he was a n.i.g.g.ard who was extremely hard on servants? I was brought up in the Prime Minister mansion. Though I was not a clean person by nature, I, influenced by Master s.h.i.+fu, could not bear a lack of bathing for a long time.

There was a maple leafed hot spring in Baihong Heights that I had been coveting for a long time, but I heard that only the owner could take a bath in it. I, inevitably, complained privately and sneaked in by excellent Lightness Skill, completely ignoring the rules and guards. I also brought wines. I planned to take a sip when I was taking a bath in hot spring.

But somehow, I fell asleep on a stone when I was drinking. When I woke up in a daze, I heard the sound of water nearby.

You know, I was still a “gyrfalcon” at that time. I was good at hiding the breath even in my sleep. So if I didn’t drink the wine and fall asleep, I should have perceived someone coming into the hot spring.

At that time, my clothes were far away from me. There was only one piece of white cloth at hand. I calculated in my mind: It was said that Tao Qing, the owner of Baihong Heights, was the greatest in martial arts. Although it was not eminently believable, he was definitely very powerful. Though I might not be a match of him in martial arts, I was confident in my lightness skill. I could jump behind him in a flash, grabbed the clothes, and run away. But then he would see me. But that didn’t matter, as by then I should have flied too far away for him to catch up. And I was sure that he would not chase me because he was certainly not too shameless to run nakedly in the mountain...

The problem was, he would definitely see me, and I only had a piece of white cloth in my hand. So here came the question: where should I cover?

Chest? Or the lower part of the body?

Alas! There was no time for me to think further. I covered my face with the white cloth, jumped out of the water, grabbed the clothes, turned around, and ran.

I glimpsed the extremely shock in the eyes of Tao Qing in the mist. He subconsciously jumped out of the water and chased me, which rankled for a long time. He always used this as an excuse to threaten me to take responsibility for seeing him naked. While I would always argue that he should just let me go! He couldn’t catch up, of course, and there was nothing good to see.

He was blue in the face at the mention of this, “Well, nothing good to see?”

All right, perhaps I should hold my tongue...

Anyway, he didn’t catch me. It didn’t matter even if he saw everything because my face was covered. He wouldn’t know who I was. However, he actually called up all girls from thirteen to twenty-three years old of Baihong Heights to undress so that he could check!

Although it was those mammies who checked for him, the fact told how shameless he was! I was wily, too. I disguised myself as a man. Hey, hey…

It happened in a flash although I recalled for a long time. Tao Er s.n.a.t.c.hed the towel to help me wipe my body and ordered in a low voice when I twisted my body, “Don’t move!”

I froze immediately.

It was strange that he became serious. He dried my body quickly and helped me get dressed. I asked confusingly, “What happened?”

I felt extremely nervous and wondered if they were going to interrogate me again!

Tao Er said with a grave expression, “You’ll see.”

I became more afraid when hearing this as if I would be sent to the guillotine.

I grabbed his cuff and said tearfully, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me this time, and I’ll never do it again!”

Tao Er said nothing, veins throbbing in his temples.

I remembered the strange man who I ran into in the Men’s Room and asked cautiously, ”Tao, the man… who is the man with you?”

Tao the Second Childe was shocked for a while. He was embarra.s.sed as if he was caught cheating. Of course, he disguised well but I saw everything.

“Just an ordinary friend.”
