Chapter 3: Trial Bathing Together "What kind of incense are you using? Fanning people is also incense...

"Bath naked together?" Shen Wenji's voice suddenly rose, attracting the attention of people around him.

She hurriedly covered her mouth and said in a low voice, gritting her teeth: "Xie Yunqing! Don't make up nonsense to deceive me!"

Xie Yunqing leaned against the pillar and spoke nonchalantly, "You don't know? The first stage of the Tianxuan Sect's selection process is to bathe in the Spiritual Spring and reveal your Dao Heart. Each disciple must soak in the Spiritual Spring for a stick of incense, and then go to the Mingtai to determine their Dao Heart. This is the first assessment result."

He paused, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Wenji: "Why, don't you want to soak in the spiritual spring?"

Shen Wenji's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously: "Do you have a solution?"

"Yes, just give up the game directly." Xie Yunqing raised the corner of his mouth with a playful smile.

“…”

Shen Wenji took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to beat someone up: "You'd better shut up."

She twisted her fingers together nervously, hesitated again and again, and asked with a blushing face: "Lingquan... do I have to be naked?"

Xie Yunqing took a step forward, casually lowered his head and sniffed her neck, saying meaningfully, "Now that you're naked and clean, it's a good opportunity to get rid of that strong scent of powder on you."

Shen Wenji's body froze instantly, and he hurriedly raised his arm to his nose and sniffed fiercely.

Smell of powder?

She never liked to buy rouge and powder, and the ones she usually used were those given to her by her mother.

She has been disguised as a man for many years without being exposed. Could it be that Xie Yunqing really has a dog nose?

She forced herself to remain calm and retorted, "Why would I, a man, use rouge? You must have smelled it wrong!"

"I didn't say you used it, maybe it got contaminated from somewhere else." Xie Yunqing raised an eyebrow, not smiling, "It's better not to go to places like brothels. Be careful not to drain your vital energy, which will hinder your cultivation."

Shen Wenji breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject, "You know so much about it, you must have been there quite often, right?"

"I'm not like someone." Xie Yunqing frowned in disdain and fanned his nose with his hand. "This smell is making my head hurt. You'll have to wash more later."

Shen Wenji was furious: "Then stay away from me! Don't let the smoke sting your dog's nose."

Soon it was Shen Wenji's turn to enter the spiritual spring.

She hid in the dressing room, tightened her bra a little more, and only took off her outer robe, wearing two sets of inner clothes.

Being too shy will only arouse suspicion.

After much hesitation, she deliberately rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs and loosened her collar. After confirming that her identity would not be exposed, she nervously walked out of the dressing room.

The waiting room was crowded with people, and Shen Wenji saw Xie Yunqing at a glance.

He leaned against the wall in the corner, alone, with his shoulders folded and his eyes closed. No one dared to disturb him within half a meter.

Shen Wenji originally wanted to approach quietly, but she never expected that her arrival would cause an uproar.

Among the rough, dark, and burly men, her skin as white as jade and her pink joints seemed out of place.

A series of greasy and obscene gazes stuck to her, and Shen Wenji felt a chill all over her body. However, those people were shameless and talked to each other in their whispers, criticizing Shen Wenji.

Xie Yunqing frowned and raised his eyes, his unexpected gaze swept over those people, and his slender fingers moved slightly.

Didn't they know that monks had keen hearing? They just wanted to tell Shen Wenji and make her feel embarrassed and shy.

After all, most fair-skinned young men like her are just show-offs, and Shen Wenji must be no different.

But they guessed wrong, Shen Wenji was not a show-off, nor was he a person who would tolerate bullying easily.

Usually, if she had a grudge, she would take revenge on the spot.

Shen Wenji gathered his spiritual power in his palm, stretched out his arm and swung it, and several sharp spiritual energies were thrown out from his palm.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!" The sound of clapping echoed throughout the hall. The sound was quite rhythmic and even pleasant to the ear.

The rough men who were pointing and talking too much just now suddenly had bright red slap marks on their cheeks. They covered their faces and widened their eyes in astonishment.

The gloom on Xie Yunqing's face dissipated a little, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He paused for a moment while forming a spell in his hand.

Shen Wenji patted the dust off his hands and said with a half-smile: "I'm sorry, I can't stand people gossiping behind my back, my hand slipped and I couldn't help it."

She twisted her neck and stretched her muscles. "If anyone disagrees, we can have a fair fight. I'm always here to accompany you."

No one said anything.

Shen Wenji walked over to Xie Yunqing and sat down.

Xie Yunqing jokingly said, "You are still as charming as ever, and still have that same cool energy."

"Stop talking nonsense here." Shen Wenji smiled and raised his palm, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up too."

Xie Yunqing smiled silently, his eyes fell on her slender fingertips, and his Adam's apple moved unconsciously.

Shen Wenji glanced at him and said unhappily, "Didn't you say you would be honest with each other? Why didn't you take off your clothes?"

Xie Yunqing said seriously: "There are too many people. I'm embarrassed."

Shen Wenji glared at him.

"What? You want to see me take it off?" He twisted the laces of his underwear with his fingers and put them in Shen Wenji's hands without hesitation. "But if you want to see, I don't mind."

"I have a good figure, so I'm not afraid of seeing it."

"Who wants to see you? I'm not interested!" Shen Wenji blushed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his fingers trembled as he threw the laces away.

The Lingquan stone gate slowly opened, and Shen Wenji rushed in first, wanting to find a corner to hide. She looked around and found an inconspicuous place in the corner.

She was afraid that someone else would take her place, so she walked faster and accidentally stepped on a wet stone.

In an instant, his body suddenly fell forward.

Shen Wenji was originally exercising his spiritual energy to stabilize his body, but a hand suddenly appeared beside him.

Shen Wenji:?

A pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his arms. The unquestionable power disrupted her magic.

Shen Wenji's body was completely unstable, and he staggered and fell into the man's arms.

She was afraid of exposing her identity and didn't want to have too much physical contact. She reached out and pushed Xie Yunqing in a panic, but she didn't expect to hook the loose and shaky laces.

With a "swish" sound, Xie Yunqing's undershirt fell apart, revealing his upper body.

The strong, well-defined chest muscles are covered with moisture, and below them are the eight-pack abdominal muscles that are faintly visible.

Shen Wenji's face flushed instantly, and his mind went blank.

She actually ripped off Xie Yunqing's clothes?

Her hands and feet became numb, and she instinctively stepped back, but unexpectedly lost her balance again.

In an instant, Shen Wenji fell forward, his hands instinctively grabbing something to support himself.

Her palm, with five fingers spread out, just happened to be placed on Xie Yunqing's body.

In order to achieve better balance, her pink fingertips unconsciously curled inward and sank into the gaps between her abdominal muscles.

The world fell silent.

Shen Wenji looked at his hands in disbelief, his whole body burning.

She clearly felt Xie Yunqing's muscles tighten.

The blue veins filled with hormonal power gradually spread upwards from the abdominal muscles.

The hot, tight, and real touch was something Shen Wenji had never experienced before.

She looked up in panic.

Meeting Xie Yunqing's surprised expression, he tutted his tongue and asked coldly, "Is this what you mean by not interested?"

Shen Wenji was stunned. She stood up in a panic and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

She took frantic small steps until she was one meter away from Xie Yunqing, and then she sat down with peace of mind.

Xie Yunqing frowned and stood up from the spiritual spring, making a splashing sound.

He slowly tied the laces of his shirt and walked slowly towards Shen Wenji.

Shen Wenji lowered his head, not daring to look at him, his heart in his throat.

If you think carefully about what you did just now, you are in the wrong anyway!

Xie Yunqing sat down next to her, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

Shen Wenji pretended to be calm and said with a wry smile, "I really didn't mean it. There's no need for you to take it seriously, right?"

Xie Yunqing's expression was dull and his voice was indifferent: "Of course not. I'm a very generous person and never care about trivial matters."

Shen Wenji breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, as a courtesy, I should also see yours."

Shen Wenji:!!!

Before she could say anything, Xie Yunqing's large palm had already embraced her from behind, and his fingertips seemed to want to move down.

Is this not being petty? I knew this guy was up to no good!

The restless palm had touched the edge of her bra. Shen Wenji could no longer bear it, raised his palm, and slapped Xie Yunqing without any hesitation.

She didn't hit hard, using almost no strength, which was completely different from the force she used to hit others with her spiritual power just now.

The cool and soft palms bring an indescribable fragrance, and the smell you breathe in is sweet and somewhat addictive.

Xie Yunqing raised his hand and rubbed the place on his cheek where he was slapped. After a moment, he raised his eyes and asked, "Hit me?"

Shen Wenji put his slightly trembling hands behind his back.

No, why should she feel guilty? It was clearly his fault!

She straightened her back and stared at him angrily: "Who told you to be so naughty? I'm going to hit you!"

Xie Yunqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Wenji's angry look with a dark look in his eyes.

For an adult male in this environment, this action is often not a punishment, but rather a...

He chuckled softly, moved his other half of his face closer, and said provocatively, "What kind of incense are you using? Even fanning someone smells good."

Shen Wenji: Who was it that just said I smelled bad?

Xie Yunqing licked his lips: "But the force is a bit light, haven't you eaten?"

No, Xie Yunqing... Is he sick?!

Shen Wenji was embarrassed and annoyed. He slapped her again without any hesitation and cursed coldly: "Can you speak properly? You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."

Xie Yunqing leaned closer, and suddenly grabbed her wrist with his broad-knuckled hand, looking down at her from above.

Shen Wenji struggled a few times, but to no avail, and was instead gripped even tighter by the closing fingers.

Xie Yunqing tilted his head with a cold face, grabbed Shen Wenji's hand without any hesitation, lowered his head and bit it hard.

A row of clear bite marks were left on the pink and white fingertips.

"Hiss—" Shen Wenji took a breath and said angrily: "Xie Yunqing! You are really sick!"

After the revenge was successful, Xie Yunqing sat calmly aside, allowing Shen Wenji to go on a rage.

"You said I was a dog." He said seriously, "It's only natural for a dog to bite a man."

It's only natural.

Xie Yunqing asked calmly, "Do you still want to fight?"

“…” Shen Wenji rubbed his fingers and kicked him angrily.

In the subsequent Daoxin test and personal assessment, the scores of the two were very close. The last group cooperation was the match point that decided the winner.

Shen Wenji was extremely worried. Where should she find people to form a team?

Please don't reward him anymore.
