Chapter 217: He Is Hiding Something

After a while, Mu Yucheng came back and said, "Let’s go. I will take you to the bathroom."

"Let’s go, let’s go." Xu Xiang walked quickly towards the bathroom, leaving Mu Yucheng behind.

Looking at her excited expression, he thought: ’It must be very uncomfortable for her to not take a bath for five days.’

The two left the group and after walking for a few minutes, Xu Xiang saw a small square building made of bamboo. She looked at Mu Yucheng and asked in surprise: "Is this what you just made?"

He nodded and said, "Mhm. I just took it out from my spatial ring."

She looked at his expressionless face and smiled slightly. Before she could speak, a sour smell hit her nostrils. Smelling her body, she frowned in disgust and said, "I’m going to take a bath first."

Seeing her rushing towards the bathroom, Mu Yucheng turned around and stood where he was. Not long after, he heard the sound of clothes falling to the ground coming from the bathroom, followed by the sound of water. Because his senses are more sensitive than ordinary people, he can hear her breathing from a long distance.

"Mhm..."

Hearing Xu Xiang sighed in satisfaction, his body froze and his ears instantly turned red. In the bathroom, Xu Xiang was scrubbing her body vigorously with soap. After making sure that the sour smell and dirt were gone, she quickly washed her long black hair twice until the itchy feeling was gone.

After washing her body and hair, she stepped into the wooden bathtub and sat down. Because she felt aches all over her body, she decided to take a bath with the lake water instead of ordinary water as usual. After soaking for ten minutes, she stood up and came out of the bathtub.

Taking a cotton towel from her space, she wiped her body and hair. Looking at the still warm lake water in the bathtub, she thought for a while.

"Mu Yucheng, are you there?" She asked while getting dressed.

Hearing her question, Mu Yucheng said, "Mhm. Do you need anything?"

"Do you want to take a bath too? The water is still warm and clean." She asked again.

When her words came, his cold expressionless face immediately turned red. Not hearing his answer, Xu Xiang was silent for a moment and called him again.

"Mu Yucheng, are you still outside?"

Closing his eyes, Mu Yucheng tried to calm himself down, then said, "Mhm."

When he answered her, Xu Xiang had already walked out of the bathroom. Seeing him standing stiffly not far away, she said, "You should also take a bath. Warm water can relax your muscles."

As she approached him, the refreshing scent of soap from her body got stronger, which strongly enveloped his senses. Seeing his flushed face, Xu Xiang was stunned.

She asked hesitantly: "Are you okay? Your face is so red."

"I’m going to take a shower first." He said stiffly and rushed into the bathroom.

Blam!

The sound of closing the door was so loud that Xu Xiang was startled. She scratched her cheek in confusion, and murmured: "Did he take the wrong medicine today?"

In the bathroom, Mu Yucheng leaned against the closed door with a cold face. For a long time, he stood there motionlessly.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

He raised his hand to touch his heart, and tightly clenched his clothes. He closed his eyes and recited the Heart Cleansing Sutra three times, before the rapid heartbeat slowly calmed down. He breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.

He straightened his crumpled clothes, and looked up. The moment his eyes fell on the water in the bathtub, his heart beat faster again.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

He quickly closed his eyes, and silently recited the Heart Cleansing Sutra again. Unfortunately, no matter how many times he recited the Heart Cleansing Sutra, his heartbeat did not slow down, but became faster and faster. Clenching his hands tightly, he concentrated and used spiritual power to forcibly slow down his heartbeat and calm his nerves.

Not far from the bathroom, Xu Xiang sat on a tree stump, with half-dry hair hanging down her back, looking at the moonless sky. There was no moon today, and the stars covered the night sky like a blanket. She looked at the starry sky for a while, only to realize that there was no sound in the bathroom.

She frowned slightly, turned her head to look at the bathroom, and asked: "Mu Yucheng, are you alright in there?"

Thinking of his flushed face just now, she murmured: "Did he pass out inside?"

Worried that he would faint inside but she couldn’t go in to check, she called him again. "Mu Yucheng?"

After a moment of silence, his slightly trembling and hoarse voice came. "I’m fine."

A few minutes later, Mu Yucheng came out of the bathroom, exuding a murderous aura all over his body. Seeing his frosty expression and eyes, Xu Xiang was speechless.

’... Who offended you when you took a shower? You look like you want to kill someone.’

She stood up and said hesitantly: "Uh... I will clean up the bathtub."

Before taking a step, she was frozen in place. Mu Yucheng looked at her with murderous eyes, and Xu Xiang was even more confused. Not knowing how she offended him, she tilted her head in doubt.

When she tilted her head, a stronger murderous aura rose from Mu Yucheng’s body. Xu Xiang was stunned by his murderous aura. After a few seconds that seemed forever, the murderous aura suddenly disappeared.

"I’m sorry. I lost control for a moment." He said through gritted teeth.

Looking at his expressionless face, Xu Xiang heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She looked at him and asked, "What is the matter with you?"

Mu Yucheng looked away and stiffly said, ".... Nothing."

Xu Xiang narrowed her eyes, stared at him, and thought: ’Hm... He is hiding something. He seems nervous.’
