Chapter 221 Hot Weather
However, he could only utter a few vague sounds, which really sounded like he was responding to Xia Yueke's words.
It just so happens that it will take some time for him to recover his strength, so he might as well stay here before that. Anyway, if other orcs find out that he has become like this, they will probably panic.
Just let those orcs think that you are practicing in seclusion.
It was a hot summer day, the sun was high in the sky, shining directly on the ground.
After a whole morning of hard work, Xia Yueke was already sweating profusely. The crystal sweat kept dripping like rain, wetting her clothes.
As a person who loves cleanliness, Xia Yueke really couldn't stand the sticky feeling on her body. She couldn't wait to take her animal skin and go to the place that had been transformed into a hot spring. It has now become her exclusive bathing place.
Xia Yueke saw that Long Xiaoyu was also dirty and exuded an unpleasant smell of eggs. Without saying a word, she grabbed him and walked towards the bathroom.
"Keke, wait a minute, this dragon cub is a male, it's not good for you two to go together!"
Qian Jingyao stood in front of Xia Yueke with a serious expression. Qing Yan nodded in agreement, while Luo Cihe and Qi'an had already left to go about their own business.
Xia Yueke waved her hands nonchalantly, "Hey, it's just a little dragon cub now, what can it understand? Look at it, it's so dirty that you can hardly see its color. I'll just give it a quick wash."
After saying that, he walked around Qian Jingyao and pulled Long Xiaoyu into the bathroom.
Xia Yueke planned to wash Xiaolong first and then wash herself.
The warm water vapor instantly enveloped the two of them, and Xia Yueke carried Long Xiaoyu's small body to the corner.
"Roar!" [I can wash it myself, you don't need to! ]
Long Xiaoyu felt ashamed and annoyed. He was the lord of a city, but now he was being treated like this by a female. It was really humiliating.
Xia Yuke thought he was so nervous because he was afraid of water, so she softened her voice and said, "Don't be afraid, just treat it as playing in the water."
Long Xiaoyu made a "woosh" sound and tried to resist with his claws, but was easily caught by Xia Yueke.
Humph, that damned female, how dare she treat him like this? When he regains his strength, he'll definitely let her know how powerful she is! But why is her voice so gentle...
When the warm water poured down, Long Xiaoyu closed his eyes tightly, and his scales tightened due to tension.
Xia Yueke wiped it carefully, muttering, "Wash it clean and it won't stink anymore."
Her fingers gently slid across Long Xiaoyu's scales, and every touch made Long Xiaoyu's body tremble slightly.
Ah, she's touching him! This feeling... is so strange. He's a little overwhelmed. No, he can't let her influence him. He's a dragon, a noble being! But the way she's focused seems... quite beautiful...
Long Xiaoyu occasionally stole a glance at Xia Yuke's focused look. Looking at her serious expression and her hair wetted by water vapor and sticking to her cheeks, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
After giving Long Xiaoyu a bath, Xia Yueke gently carried him to a dry animal skin beside her and let him be alone for a while. Her fingertips inadvertently slid across Long Xiaoyu's neck, causing a slight tremor, but she didn't notice it.
Then she turned and walked towards the hot spring pool, slowly took off her clothes, and walked gracefully into the warm spring water.
The warm spring water wrapped around her body. Xia Yueke breathed a sigh of relief and began to wash her body carefully.
She scooped up the spring water with her hands, starting from her neck, and slowly wiped every inch of her skin. Her hair spread out in the water, floating like seaweed. Occasionally, she combed her hair with her fingers, added some homemade cleaning products, and rubbed out rich foam, which slowly slid down her arms.
Although Long Xiaoyu had his back to Xia Yueke, his little ears moved unconsciously, as if he was paying attention to Xia Yueke's movements.
He felt a little flustered and curious.
This female... How could she bathe so freely in front of him? Even though he was in dragon cub form, he was still a male! However, she didn't seem to take him seriously. She just wanted to take a bath...
Long Xiaoyu secretly glanced in Xia Yueke's direction. His eyes fell on her creamy skin, which exuded a hazy beauty under the mist. His heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably. He quickly turned his head away, his claws nervously scratching the animal skin under him, but the stunning glimpse just now kept appearing in his mind.
After a while, Xia Yueke finished her bath. She walked out of the hot spring pool, dried her body with dry animal skin, and put on clean clothes.
She walked over to Long Xiaoyu, looked at his somewhat dried scales, stroked them gently with her fingers, and said with a smile, "Look, it's so clean now, and there's no weird smell anymore."
Long Xiaoyu looked up at her, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he hummed softly, as if responding to her words, but also seemed embarrassed about what had just happened.
After taking a shower, Xia Yueke brought Long Xiaoyu out.
As soon as Xia Yueke opened the door, she felt a heat wave coming.
"It's so hot...Is it probably over 40 degrees?"
Xia Yueke couldn't bear it any longer, so she fanned herself with her hands, but the hot wind blowing in her face didn't diminish at all, and just ruffled the hair by her ears in vain.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Yes, she had ice-related abilities, so she could have as much ice as she wanted!
The thought flashed through her mind, and she quickly put Long Xiaoyu aside.
Walking quickly to the big stone pot in the courtyard, Xia Yueke took a deep breath and mobilized the animal power in his body.
She waved her hands, and a trace of cold air emanated from her palms, quickly covering the stone pot.
In the blink of an eye, the water vapor in the stone pot quickly condensed, and a pot of crystal clear ice appeared before your eyes.
Xia Yueke couldn't wait to put her cheek against his. In an instant, a cool feeling spread through her skin and spread throughout her body, making her breathe a sigh of relief.
"Huh... finally it's cooler. Oh no, I have to find a way to cool this room down, or I'm going to pass out from the heat."
After saying that, she turned and rushed into the kitchen. After a while, she came out with several pots and pans in each hand.
He placed these pots and pans one by one in the four corners of the big stone house, and used his supernatural powers again. Ice cubes gradually accumulated in the pots and pans.
"Qingyan, come and help me move that tub of ice into the house. And get some fruit to put on top of the ice. We'll have some chilled fruit today!"
Xia Yueke shouted loudly, her eyes showing a bit of anxiety and anticipation. Sweat slid down her cheeks, dripped onto the ground, and evaporated in an instant.
Long Xiaoyu watched Xia Yuke busy using her ice ability to make ice cubes to cool down the room, and was extremely surprised at her ability to wait.
He felt that with his true strength, cooling down was not worth mentioning at all.
But I've never seen anyone treat the hot season like this. This female is so smart.
He would touch the ice with his paws from time to time, feeling the coolness, and was filled with novelty about this way of cooling down that he had never experienced before.
