Chapter 79 (2/2)

This hot spring… was too small!

It was only around 2 meters in diameter and 1 meter deep with steam drifting on the surface of the water. The hot spring was round in shape, and the pool was inlaid with all kinds of jade. The design of the pool was rather unique as well; it looked like a lotus bud.

The bottom of the pool was inlaid with multi-coloured stones that were as round and smooth as goose eggs, looking rather strange.

She tilted her head as she examined it for a bit. However, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw Ji Yunhuang stripping and was startled.

“Your Highness wants to bathe here too?” Did he not say that she needed to take a bath?

Ji Yunhuang had already taken off his outer robe. “I can come here every day to bathe.”

Ning Xuemo was speechless. Could it be that this guy wanted  to have a mandarin duck bath[1] with her?

She blurted out, “This pool is too small; it can’t fit two people.”

Ji Yunhuang was rolling up his trousers, but when he heard her words, he glanced at her. “You think I want to bathe together with you?”

‘Your actions are pointing to that!’

Although Ning Xuemo did not say anything, her expression betrayed her thoughts.

“You’re daydreaming! The only person who can bathe with me is my consort.” Ji Yunhuang had already entered the water and his tone was not polite.

Ning Xuemo sighed in relief before smiling. “That’s good. Luckily, I’m not your consort. Since Your Highness is bathing, then I’ll leave first.” She turned around to leave. This hot spring was part of his house. Naturally, whatever he decides to do is fine.

“Did I say I was bathing?” Ji Yunhuang called out from behind her.

Ning Xuemo turned around to look at him. ‘Bro, you already entered the water. Isn’t that called bathing?’

‘Eh? Why did he wear clothes into the water and only rolled up his trousers?’

“The operating method for this hot springs is a bit special. Watch my movements and learn them. If I don’t teach you how to operate the hot springs, you’ll probably accidentally step on something you shouldn’t and boil yourself to death…”

[1] Mandarin ducks refer to a pair of lovers. I’ll leave it to you to imagine what she’s insinuating.
