Chapter 789: Chapter 675, Lotus in Clear Water_1

The reason Four Seasons Manor’s courtyard was built halfway up the mountain was primarily that there were two natural hot spring waterfall pools on the mountainside.

During the afternoon rest, Wang Manman and Bi Shi toured the entire manor and, upon discovering such splendid spots, immediately told Daohua who had just woken up.

Daohua, upon hearing this, indeed showed interest, "I’ve been sitting in a carriage for almost two months, and my whole body aches. A hot spring bath will be perfect for relieving the fatigue."

After inspecting the two hot spring pools, Daohua smiled and said, "Master and I can each take one. Go tell the steward to make two signs—this smaller hot spring pool shall be my private bath from now on."

Gazing at the misty hot spring pool, Daohua loosened her hair and removed her outer garments and skirt, stepping in wearing only her chest wrap and panties.

The temperature of the water in the pool was just right. As she soaked in it, Daohua felt her entire being lighten.

Looking at the waterfall cascading down from the mountaintop, Daohua swam directly underneath and let the water beat down upon her body.

The hot spring pool, nestled in the mountainside of the back hill, allowed Daohua to lie at the edge, gazing at the misty green mountains and waters, feeling all her weariness disappear.

Noticing that Daohua hadn’t brought a change of clothes, Wang Manman said to Bi Shi, "My lady’s clothes are still in the trunks, unpacked. Let’s go back and get her some fresh clothes."

Seeing Daohua comfortably soaking in the hot spring, not needing their attendance, Bi Shi nodded, and they both left.

Passing by the hot spring waterfall from the back hill to the front courtyard, Xiao Yeyang drew near and heard the sound of someone playing in the water.

As a martial artist, Xiao Yeyang’s senses were exceptionally sharp. After standing still for a few seconds, he recognized the familiar sound of merry splashing and, without restraint, followed the sound to investigate.

Through the swirling steam, a beauty, transcendent as though not of this world, stood sideways letting the waterfall rinse her long, silky black hair.

The warm spring water glided over her creamy skin, soaking through her clinging clothes, revealing her voluptuous curves in all their glory.

The rushing water hitting her body felt like a natural massage chair, and Daohua’s face was filled with pleasure.

Smiling with lips slightly parted, her eyes alluringly shifted.

After washing her hair, Daohua flung her head back, casting her jet-black tresses over her shoulders, and began to cleanse her body.

Delicate and slender fingers trailed slowly from her neck, spreading to her collarbones, shoulders, and then gliding along her arms.

Xiao Yeyang found his eyes locked onto Daohua’s fingers, following their movements.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Xiao Yeyang felt his heart might leap out of his chest—never, not even in a life-or-death struggle with Prince’s sworn warriors, had he felt his heart pound this way.

In the hot spring, Daohua, oblivious to scrutiny, began to undo the fastenings of her chest wrap.

Xiao Yeyang, with his excellent vision, when he glimpsed the white plumpness shrouded in the mist, felt his mind burst, and his blood ignited in an instant.

"Miss!"

Just then, Bi Shi arrived with Daohua’s fresh clothes.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yeyang quickly hid, as if he’d been caught red-handed doing something wrong. When he came to his senses, he laughed at himself for feeling guilty as a thief.

That was the woman he’d married, and had his uncle not intervened, he would have taken his beautiful bride home long ago.

Xiao Yeyang then realized that at some point, he had broken out in a sweat. He wiped it off with his sleeve, feeling his throat burn and swallow hard. His whole body was unbearably hot, so he pulled open his collar a bit more.

Once he calmed down, Daohua had already emerged from the hot spring.

"No wonder so many people like hot springs; soaking really is comfortable."

After her bath, Daohua, dressed in a moon-white Luo skirt, resembled a budding flower—delicately lovely and pitiable. It was probably because she had just soaked in the hot springs that a hint of languor still lingered on her brow, adding a touch of charm to her beauty as if she were a lotus emerging from water.

With an appearance both pure and a tad seductive, demure with a hint of sultriness, Daohua caught Xiao Yeyang’s gaze.

"Xiao Yeyang!"

Upon seeing Xiao Yeyang suddenly appear, Daohua’s eyes brightened with surprise and delight as she asked, "How did you know we had arrived?"

Xiao Yeyang gazed intently at Daohua, approaching her to scrutinize the details of her face, unwilling to miss any part. Noticing a few damp strands on her smooth and full forehead, he reached out to brush them aside.

Bi Shi watched the two exchanging glances and discreetly excused herself, though not before considerately handing Xiao Yeyang a towel to dry Daohua’s hair.

Xiao Yeyang’s heated stare made Daohua look away after a while, unable to hold his gaze.

Her eyes shyly veiled, lips curving in a slight smile, Xiao Yeyang unconsciously licked his lips.

Noticing his action, Daohua’s cheeks flushed even redder, and she gave Xiao Yeyang a reproachful glance, "You haven’t answered my question yet. How did you know my master and I were coming to Beijing?"

Xiao Yeyang bent down slightly, whispering into Daohua’s ear, "You are the most important person to me. Of course, I had to know the moment you arrived."

At his words, Daohua’s lips curled into a smile, and with a playful mix of annoyance and amusement, she punched Xiao Yeyang lightly on the chest, "Xiao Yeyang, you’re getting better and better at sweet-talking."

Xiao Yeyang caught her fist easily and pulled her into his embrace, then wrapped his arms tightly around her, rubbing his head against her neck, "Yiyi, I’ve missed you so much. Did you miss me?"

Daohua slowly raised her arms and then hugged Xiao Yeyang, gently humming in agreement.

Feeling her response, Xiao Yeyang’s joy nearly made him soar. He lifted Daohua in his arms and burst into laughter, spinning around.

Infectious joy spread through Daohua, and she wrapped her arms around his neck in kind.

After a while, Xiao Yeyang put Daohua down, resting his forehead against hers. They embraced for a long time, until a breeze blew by and Daohua, whose hair was still damp, felt a chill, prompting them to part.

Xiao Yeyang took Daohua to sit on a stone bench beside the hot spring pool and began to dry her hair carefully.

"Xiao Yeyang, you’ve gotten darker and taller. Now I only reach your chin."

Xiao Yeyang paused for a moment, then looked down with a soft smile, "My Yiyi has grown up too."

Daohua lifted her chin slightly, "Isn’t that obvious? We’ve been apart for two years; of course, I’ve grown up."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said nothing.

Daohua: "Once you finish drying my hair, we need to hurry and see my master. He’s been worried about you these past two years."

Xiao Yeyang nodded, "Okay."

Remembering what had happened on the road today, Daohua turned to Xiao Yeyang, "Xiao Yeyang, how could you and your third and fourth brothers carelessly hand over Xiaoyi and the others to strangers?" She recounted the incident where the three hounds were surrounded and attacked.

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, "Don’t worry, it won’t happen again."

Daohua: "There sure are a lot of nobles in Beijing. On our arrival today, we encountered an old Prince and a senior Princess. Quickly tell me about the Imperial Family’s situation, so I won’t be ignorant in the future."

Though Zhao Yongwang had learned much about nobles’ affairs over the past two years, he still was clueless about the matters of the Imperial Family.
