1296 Beautiful Cat Bathing (1/2)

Ever since entering the desert, no one on the team, male or female, had taken a proper bath. At the beginning, people who showered every day were uncomfortable. They noticed their own smell and disliked it. Every night, they would be scratching themselves vigorously. However, as time passed, they got used to it. They reportedly could not smell themselves. It could only be said that humans had a strong sense of adaptability.

Still, at the sight of this clear lake, the impulse to take a bath could no longer be suppressed.

He had just undone two shirt buttons when he felt something sharp poke his calf.

Looking back, he saw a stunned Snowy Lionet. It was tugging at his pants with its claws. Luckily it was short—otherwise, it just might be tugging on something else that was more important.

”Hey! What are you planning to do, you stinky man?” It tried to make a fierce look, but it was too cute to make it convincely. If its expression could be put on the internet, many would be attracted to how adorable it looked.

”I am going to take a bath.” Zhang Zian spoke the truth.

Snowy Lionet's eyes widened. ”Hey! How can you go into the bath with the queen? You will pollute the water when you jump in! Find a place to die instead!”

Zhang Zian turned his head and looked. Fina was indeed standing by the lake and staring at it with an irritated look.

He wanted to take a bath. Fina also wanted to take a bath, more so than he did. She was no longer her former radiant self. She was covered in gray dust. As someone who loved cleanliness, she could not tolerate this. She had even rejected Snowy Lionet's offer to lick her fur clean…

Fina used a front paw to push the water back and forth, as if observing the depth and clarity of it. She hesitated to get into the water.

”Wait a minute…”

Zhang Zian just wanted to remind Fina of something, but he was again interrupted by Snowy Lionet.

”Hey! Let me warn you. Only after Fina has bathed can you go in and wash your armpits. Do not interrupt me admiring beautiful cats emerging from the baths. Otherwise…” As a warning, Snowy Lionet showed more of its claws and bit him through his pants.

”No, I am not sure if this water is clean or not. Yet what I cannot further ascertain is if there is any danger beneath the surface. You wouldn't want to let Fina encounter any dangerous animals after entering the water, would you?” he asked coolly.

In a completely strange environment, he was worried about the unknown danger in the water? The probability of a crocodile being in the lake was basically zero, but there could be a snake.

Any snake living in the desert would best not be provoked. They were lucky to find an oasis. If they got bitten for simply taking a bath, it wouldn't be worth the find at all…

Fina and the other cat elfins were not afraid of snakes on land. In the water, however…

Snowy Lionet was undecided. It wanted to watch beautiful Fina emerge from the clear water, but it did not want her to face any unnecessary accidents while in the lake.

”What should I do? Hurry up and think of a way! Aren't you usually full of crazy ideas?” Snowy Lionet stuck its claws in him once more.

”Don't worry. We must do things in order. One at a time.”
