Take a bath with him?

Or were they washed clean and then he just swallowed them whole and gnawed on them?

Just imagining that scene sent chills down Jiang Si's spine. She couldn't help but take a step back from Agares and shout, "No need, Hilt, Hilt..."

Upon hearing the shouts, the manor's head steward, Hilt, appeared at the kitchen door and respectfully said, "Your Highness, I'm here!"

Jiang Si pointed at He Yan, whose head, face, and body were all covered in black soot: "Take him downstairs to wash up. Give him a proper wash, take your time!"

Hilt bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, sir, please!"

He Yan pouted, blinked his golden eyes, and stretched out his hand that had been pressed against the door, saying pitifully, "Jiang Jiang, look, my hands are all blistered, it hurts so much, don't you even care about me!"

Ginger shreds: "..."

She did want to care.

It's not that I'm afraid!

She just wanted to be a salted fish that never turned over, but she didn't want to be flipped over, fried, and eaten, leaving not even bones or crumbs. That would be so miserable.

Jiang Si gestured at him with her hand: "Your current look and appearance make it impossible for me to care about you. Don't you want to go wash up? I can't even see your face!"

He Yan exclaimed in surprise, "You can't see my face? My face is perfectly fine!"

Jiang Si nodded: "It's fine, but I can't see the color!"

So, he didn't feel anything at all despite having a blackened, charred face all day.

That lightning strike from Agares is just too unbelievable.

He Yan frowned deeply: "Can't you see the color anymore?"

Before Jiang Si could respond, Hilt pulled out a mirror, held it up to He Yan, and said in a proper manner, "Please take a look, Your Excellency!"

He Yan turned his head, looked at his reflection in the mirror—his face was as black as charcoal—and exclaimed, stomped his foot, pointed at Agares, his golden eyes blazing with fury, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Agares, I challenge you to a duel!"

Agares silently took a step closer to his wife and said calmly, "Your Majesty Heyan, if you want to challenge someone or arrange a fight, you should also pay attention to your image, don't you think?"

He Yan yelled angrily and complained to Jiang Si, "Jiang Jiang, look at him, all he does is bully me!"

"Uh..." Jiang Si found it both funny and amusing to watch him jump up and down complaining: "Well, actually he didn't really bully you. You are the emperor of the insect race, not a child or a little insect. You need to be mindful of your image at all times!"

"Why don't you go wash up quickly, get yourself clean and refreshed, eat and drink your fill, then you two are planning a fight?"

He Yan's eyes lit up: "You want to be the referee?"

The little bug is very confident!

Jiang Si nodded: "Sure!"

He was delighted to hear her agree, and after giving Agares a snort, he followed Hilt away.

Jiang Si exhaled a breath of stale air and wiped away non-existent sweat. "Agares, hurry up and go, hurry up and go take a shower, go take a shower!"

Agares: "..."

this……

Jiang Si pulled Agares upstairs, into the room, and headed straight for the bathroom.

As they approached the bathroom door, Agares paused, her ears and neck turning red: "Jiang Jiang, you..."

Jiang Si stopped in her tracks, let go of her cheap ex's hand, and looked around furtively like a thief: "Okay, you stand here and guard the door for me. Make sure He Yan doesn't come in."

Agares: "..."

"I now seriously suspect that the reason He Yan acted so cute and cuddly towards me, and even shed tears for me, was just to bewitch me!" Jiang Si thought of the documentary about how the insectoids caught and ate plant-type people, leaving not even bone fragments, and felt that the little insects were everywhere, always thinking about eating her flesh and drinking her blood: "He bewitched me, treated me well, made me lower my guard, then knocked me down, and then ate me up piece by piece!"

Agares: "..."

"You must guard the door for me, you absolutely must guard it!" Jiang Si opened the bathroom door and went in, not forgetting to peek out again to remind Agares. After giving her instructions, she placed Yan Liu at the door, where Yan Liu bared its teeth and claws at Agares, its branches flying wildly.

Agares: "..."

Jiang Si entered the washroom, patted her chest, took out her Tang sword, stuck it in the ground, and washed up with peace of mind.

20 minutes later.

She came out clean and refreshed, her hair still half-dry, wearing trousers and a t-shirt, and said to Agares, "I'm ready, you can go now!"

The redness on Agares's neck and earlobes had faded. He took a dry towel from his spatial storage, placed it on her head, and ruffled it: "Dry your hair!"

"Oh!" Jiang Si said, and as Agares's hand left her head and she went into the washroom, she threw away the towel and quickly planted a lychee tree, an orange tree, and a crisp plum tree.

About 10 minutes later, Agares came out of the bathroom, and the two of them went downstairs together.

Yuan Yigunsi Mubei has returned and is sitting on the sofa in the first-floor hall.

Yu Feifei and Bai Shaoqing also came downstairs and sat on the sofa. Bai Shaoqing looked completely drained and listless.

He Yan was sitting opposite the four of them. As soon as he saw Jiang Si come downstairs, he suddenly stood up, his golden eyes shining, "Jiang Jiang..."

Jiang Si looked at He Yan, who had already washed up. Even though he was one of the most handsome men, the thought that he was an insect who loved to eat people with plant-based spiritual power made her blurt out, "Sit down, sit down and don't move. Agares, go sit with him and wait for my dad!"

He Yan's handsome face instantly fell. He sat down, twisting his fingers, and looked at Jiang Si with a pitiful and aggrieved expression: "I'll sit by myself, I don't need him to sit with me!"

Unable to persuade him to sit with him, and with his protests proving ineffective, Agares strode over and sat down next to He Yan with ramrod straight back.

Jiang Si squeezed past Yu Feifei like a little light bulb and sat down next to Bai Shaoqing.

Bai Shaoqing's handsome face broke into a gentle smile as he called out to Jiang Si, "Jiang Jiang, my darling, thank you for cooking noodles for me, they were so delicious!"

"If you like it, I'll cook it for you again next time!" Jiang Si grabbed Bai Shaoqing's hand and used her healing mental energy to treat his body, thus gaining a clearer understanding of how quickly Yu Feifei had drained Bai Shaoqing dry.

Jiang Si glared angrily at Yu Feifei.

Yu Feifei touched his nose, looking dejected, and chuckled.

Bai Shaoqing gently patted Jiang Jiang's hand that was holding his, "Jiang Jiang, you don't need to treat me, I'm fine!"

Jiang Si turned around, took out some crisp plums, oranges, and lychees from her spatial storage, and stuffed them into Bai Shaoqing's arms. "Little tyrant Shaoqing, you need to learn to say no and not spoil him, otherwise you'll be the one who suffers!"

Bai Shaoqing's delicate face flushed instantly. Clutching a handful of fruit, he wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground: "I...I..."
