Jiang Cheng could feel the killing intent of the sharp dagger cutting across his skin, and could only slowly stop what he was doing.
At the same time, a line of maids filed in from another entrance, still with ghostly pale makeup, carrying many different things in their hands: flower petals, small bottles of essential oil, long-handled wooden brushes... all things used for bathing.
Within minutes, the once spacious bathroom was filled with over twenty people. Without any instructions, the maids began to carry out their tasks in an orderly fashion, while two maids with wooden hairpins quickly stripped Jiang Cheng of his clothes.
"hiss……"
He gasped, his head throbbing, and he didn't know where to put his hands, which were awkwardly clenched.
Faced with more than twenty strange women, and with himself completely naked, anyone would panic!
Jiang Cheng looked around nervously, but before he could react, he was grabbed by the wooden hairpin maid and the gray-clad maid and thrown into the bathtub that could just fit one person.
"Thump!"
Water splashed everywhere, and Jiang Cheng fell to the bottom of the pool. Although he was still surrounded by a feeling of suffocation, his flushed face was slightly relieved.
At least, this was a safe haven, a place where he could avoid being watched by more than twenty pairs of eyes.
But the next second, he was suddenly pulled up by two iron claw-like hands.
If it weren't for the fact that the owners of those two hands were the wooden hairpin maid, Jiang Cheng might have thought they were two extremely strong and skilled men! The strength was terrifying!
After being pulled from the water, Jiang Cheng hadn't even had time to see his surroundings clearly when he felt countless people surging around the pool. Two maids with wooden hairpins held him tightly by the shoulders, relieving his strain while controlling his every move. Then, more than twenty maids rushed forward, some scrubbing his skin with large brushes, others trimming his shoulder-length hair with small scissors, and still others shaving his body hair clean with razors…
He tried to struggle, but he had no way to do anything.
What on earth is going on?!
Jiang Cheng finally managed to break free from the two maids who were holding his head and shaving his beard. After taking a deep breath of the hot, murky air, he said in a hoarse voice, "I can do it myself! I can do it myself!"
But his "resistance" received no response. In fact, the maids rubbed his once fair skin until it turned blood red.
"Uh...uh..."
The torture finally ended after half an hour.
After the maids stopped, they hurriedly bowed to the two maids with wooden hairpins and left through the back door they had entered through. The two gray-clad maids returned to the corner, maintaining their previous posture, standing quietly as if waiting for something to happen.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng, who had just staggered out of the bath, looked ashen-faced.
This was the first time in his life that he had been seen naked by so many women, and that these women with terrifying makeup had scrubbed his entire body, even every private part of his body...
This is not enjoyment, this is real torture!
Before Jiang Cheng could react, the door was suddenly pushed open by two maids who walked in from the other side.
"Don't!"
He remained completely naked.
The thought that behind these two doors lay an empty corridor and courtyard, and perhaps even more people waiting outside, made Jiang Cheng panic. He reached for a piece of clothing or even just a scrap of cloth on the shelf next to him to cover his privacy.
But the two gray-clad maids were even faster than him, kicking the table away in an instant, leaving Jiang Cheng empty-handed.
His face flushed red, and he had no choice but to turn around and cover himself for the time being.
What kind of mess is this...?
Jiang Cheng felt his heart pounding faster and faster, and his brain lost the ability to control his actions. He could only stand there like a block of wood.
The maid with the wooden hairpin walked to the door and, with the help of several other maids, pushed in a huge wooden table.
Jiang Cheng turned his head slightly and, after glancing at the door from the corner of his eye to see that there was no one else there, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At the same time, he also noticed the huge table.
The table was even larger than the bathtub he had just bathed in, its four wooden legs much thicker than a person's thigh, and carved with many patterns and totems, all styles Jiang Cheng had never seen before. Hidden tracks and casters were installed under the legs, allowing the maids to push the table over. The tabletop was very smooth, unlike the carved patterns on the legs, except for a human-shaped groove in the center.
The faint scent of wood gradually permeated the bathroom as the steam evaporated, gradually clearing Jiang Cheng's muddled mind.
But he still didn't know what to do.
Running away directly is definitely not realistic.
He had already witnessed the skills of those two maids with wooden hairpins; to escape unscathed from them was simply a pipe dream. Besides, even if he did escape from the bathroom, what would it look like to run out naked? And the palace was incredibly far from the village; even if he did leave, there was absolutely no chance of him getting down the mountain.
Is it really true that we have no choice but to endure all of this?
Jiang Cheng gave a helpless bitter smile, then turned to look at the two maids with wooden hairpins: "And then..."
Before he could even finish speaking, two wooden hairpin maids and two gray-clad maids rushed to his side in an extremely bizarre manner. Two of them lifted his upper body while the other two lifted his lower body, instantly raising the naked Jiang Cheng.
