The two of them had just finished eating when the waiter happened to have someone carry the hot water in. Several people took turns carrying the bucket several times before finally filling the bath up. When the waiter exited, he did not forget to take away the dishes on the table.
“You go take a bath first.” Li Tianyan glanced at the big bathtub in the room, then turned to Cheng Qi and spoke.
“Bath? I’d better not use it, young master, go ahead.” Cheng Qi stared at the bucket of water and suddenly became embarrassed. It was a bit embarrassing for him to take off his clothes and take a bath in front of Li Tianyan.
“What are you thinking about? There is a screen to block it. Wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable if you don’t wash away the dust from your body?” Li Tianyan saw his face turn red and finally couldn’t help laughing.
The little shuanger had such a bean sprouts body that even if he looked at it, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.
“Oh.” Cheng Qi saw that there was a screen in the room, then he got up and went to take a bath.
It was rare to sit down leisurely. Li Tianyan picked up the boiling water on the table and made himself a cup of tea. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Qi behind the screen, raising a white jade-like arm and hanging all the clothes on the middle screen. Then he heard a clear sound of water again. Someone who had just vowed not to have any thoughts about bean sprouts body felt an uncontrollable heat rising in his body.
After taking a sip of tea to cool down the heat, Li Tianyan showed a helpless smile on his face, and thought to himself: ‘It seems that he has really fallen into trouble.’
The sound of water in the room kept ringing vaguely, and the fragrance wafting from Cheng Qi seemed to have turned into an aphrodisiac fragrance. Li Tianyan’s breathing became more and more chaotic, and he, who had always been most proud of his concentration, became vulnerable at this moment.
“Young master, I’ve finished washing. I’ll ask someone to bring a new bucket of water.” Cheng Qi changed into clean clothes and said to Li Tianyan, feeling refreshed.
“No need to bother.” Li Tianyan stood up abruptly and walked behind the screen. He just needed a bucket of water to calm down.
“Ah, young master, that water is…” Before Cheng Qi could finish his words, he heard the sound of Li Tianyan stepping into the bucket. He tilted his head strangely and thought, ‘young master got into the water as soon as he walked in? Didn’t you have to take off your clothes?’
Li Tianyan sat in the tub and was soaked in cold water. He finally regained some sense and realized that he had come in with his clothes on. The expression on his face was a little annoyed. Then he discovered an even more fatal thing.
This water was just being used by Cheng Qi, and it was full of his unique smell. Li Tianyan’s heat, which had finally subsided, began to soar again.
Cheng Qi, who was staying in the room, suddenly heard Li Tianyan reciting the Heart Cleansing Mantra, and his doubts became more intense. Did the young master have the habit of chanting sutras while taking a bath?

The two of them stayed in the inn for four days and heard a lot about Zidong Kingdom. For example, the current Holy Emperor Shao was a fifth-level acquired warrior and the strongest person in the entire Zidong Kingdom. When he was young, he had made many great achievements during several personal expeditions, and as a result, Zidong Kingdom had enjoyed prosperity and stability for more than ten years.
It wasn’t until six years ago that a concubine named Li appeared in the palace, which fascinated Emperor Shao so much that he had no intention of taking care of the government. Now the Zidong Kingdom had begun to decline day by day, but Emperor Shao did not do anything and was still immersed in his own affairs, reminiscing in the glory of the past.
Li Tianyan was not interested in the affairs of the court. Disputes in the secular world had their own destiny, and cultivators could not interfere too much. This was also the reason why people from Tianfan Immortal Sect were unwilling to cross the line.
Except for the court, the rest were all trivial matters, such as which town had a flower-picking robber recently, which village’s widow was paraded for having an affair, but today Li Tianyan heard an interesting thing.
“There is something strange happening again in Qiluan Mountain. Farmers nearby have been hearing strange noises in the mountain recently.”
“I don’t know what kind of monster is in Qiluan Mountain. No matter how powerful the warrior is, when they go in, they couldn’t get out of it alive.”
“When the clue first appeared, some people said that it was the treasure that caused the thunder. Everyone was excited to go in and hunt for the treasure. So many warriors have died.”
Hearing about the treasures, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi both lit up for a moment. Tan Eyu knew that her job was coming, and she automatically went out to find ghosts to inquire about the news. Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi also quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
Qiluan Mountain, a place not far from Shiyan County, was originally a training ground for warriors. Qiluan Mountain sounded like the name of one mountain, but it was actually a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles. Wild beasts could be seen everywhere in the deep mountains of Qiluan. In addition to hunting, warriors who went in could occasionally find good and precious medicinal herbs.
However, a few years ago, a strange phenomenon appeared in Qiluan Mountain. It was first shrouded in thick dark clouds, and then struck by thunder for several months. It finally subsided, but it became a place where even warriors dared not set foot.
