After ending the call, Li Ze got up and walked towards the bathroom.
As soon as he stood up, He Xingjue also stood up and followed him into the bathroom.
Li Ze unbuttoned his clothes, and when all the buttons were undone, revealing his fair chest, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He Xingjue is here too!
"You go out first," Li Ze said to He Xingjue, and then used the contract to control him.
He Xingjue turned around blankly and walked out of the bathroom. He walked all the way to the bed and sat down on the bed. Only then did Li Ze release his control over him.
On the large, soft bed, He Xingjue blinked, looking around with a hint of confusion in his deep eyes.
Where is this place?
who is he?
Just then, the sound of water came from the bathroom.
He Xingjue wanted to stand up and push open the door to take a look, but for some reason, his body felt as if it were nailed to the bed.
He can't leave!
The moment he had the thought of leaving the bed, his head would throb with pain, feeling like it was about to explode.
What's going on?
A drop of sweat slid down his forehead and landed on He Xingjue's palm.
The next second, his eyes returned to their blank and lifeless state.
The bathroom door was pushed open, and Li Ze, still damp from the water, looked at He Xingjue by the bed. Seeing He Xingjue sitting upright, his smile softened. "Come and take a shower."
The bathtub was already filled with warm water. Li Ze turned around and said to He Xingjue, "Take off your clothes and get in the bathtub."
He Xingjue was like a puppet on a string, obediently doing as instructed.
Hearing the splashing water, Li Ze turned his head and saw He Xingjue's head above the water, and below that, his body was faintly visible in the water.
This wasn't the first time he'd seen He Xingjue's body, but seeing it again now still made him feel somewhat uneasy.
"Wash yourself. I'll go find you some clothes," Li Ze said, turning and walking out of the bathroom.
Li Ze quickly returned, carrying a set of pajamas and even his underwear.
He Xingjue obediently scrubbed his body in the bathtub. Without warning, he suddenly stood up from the water and turned to face Li Ze.
Li Ze's pupils dilated suddenly, and he froze.
He Xingjue still didn't think he had done anything wrong. He stepped out of the bathtub with his long legs and walked step by step to Li Ze.
Water droplets slid down his beautifully sculpted muscles, the dripping sound bringing Li Ze back to his senses.
“That’s not enough. Go wash your hair too,” Li Ze said.
After saying that, he silently turned away.
His pink ear tips betrayed his unease; just now, he almost couldn't resist reaching out to touch He Xingjue's body!
Those well-defined skin textures, moist and smooth, firm and elastic, concealed immense strength—
The sound of rushing water behind him drowned out Li Ze's pounding heartbeat.
He exhaled a deep breath and reassured himself, "It's alright, this is just human desire. Before you have higher strength, it's perfectly normal to be controlled by physical desires."
He ordered himself not to think about it anymore, but the image lingered in his mind, and with his excellent eyesight, he remembered the position of every single hair on the other person's body clearly!
Li Ze lowered his head, looking at his restless body. This was the first time in both his lives that he had clearly felt his own desires.
Not counting the poisoning incident, he was not fully conscious at the time, and although he remembered it afterward, it wasn't the same as the present moment. It's different from his current clear and lucid state of mind.
Li Ze stood quietly in place, doing nothing, slowly waiting for his desires to subside.
He controlled He Xingjue's bathing, showering, wiping his body, and dressing...
Fortunately, although He Xingjue was not in his right mind, his body's instincts and habits were still intact, so he was not so bad at things like dressing himself.
As soon as Li Ze gave the order, he completed the task perfectly, like a robot.
The two of them came out of the bathroom one after the other. Li Ze let He Xingjue lie on the bed, while he himself sat cross-legged, occupying one side of the large bed with a distance of more than a meter between them.
"Close your eyes and go to sleep," Li Ze said to He Xingjue.
He Xingjue obediently closed his eyes, and soon his steady breathing could be heard.
Li Ze also closed his eyes, but he wasn't sleeping; instead, he was trying to capture the spiritual energy in the air.
The spiritual energy in this world is very thin, and the demonic energy is even less. There isn't even a trace of naturally occurring demonic energy.
Li Ze was not a cultivator, so spiritual energy was useless to him. He had never practiced any cultivator's techniques either. If he wanted to capture spiritual energy, he could only use his baleful aura to chase, block, and gather it together.
However, the spiritual energy here was extremely scarce. Li Ze spent an hour and only managed to catch a thread as thin as a hair.
"It's better than nothing," Li Ze comforted himself, and then channeled that wisp of spiritual energy into He Xingjue's body.
He Xingjue signed a contract with him, and at this point he was already considered half a cultivator. If he had spiritual roots, then this wisp of spiritual energy would remain in his body and enter his dantian.
If he doesn't have a spiritual root, then this wisp of spiritual energy will circulate within his body, nourishing him, and then dissipate from his body.
For both ordinary people and cultivators, spiritual energy is a good thing.
Li Ze stared intently at He Xingjue's body, not even knowing what he was expecting.
Time passed second by second, and that wisp of spiritual energy entered He Xingjue's body, circulated within him, and finally entered his dantian.
call--
Li Ze's body suddenly relaxed, and only then did he realize that his back was soaked with sweat without him noticing.
So he actually cares that much?
Li Ze was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and it wasn't. He had tried both baleful energy and demonic energy, but neither worked. If spiritual energy didn't work either, he would only have the option of changing He Xingjue's body.
He wouldn't want to take this path unless absolutely necessary.
Fortunately, the result was good; He Xingjue has a spiritual root, but it is unknown what kind of spiritual root it is.
That night, Li Ze didn't sleep; he spent the entire night capturing spiritual energy. Throughout the night, he captured nine strands of spiritual energy as thin as a hair and sent them into He Xingjue's body.
As sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, Li Ze yawned. "It was just capturing spiritual energy, but it was more tiring than killing void beasts all night."
Li Ze lay back on the bed, not caring whether it was dawn or not; he was too tired and wanted to sleep for a while.
Li Ze fell asleep in less than a minute.
However, the moment he fell asleep, He Xingjue opened his eyes, his deep eyes shining in the dim room, and there was no trace of his foolish appearance.
He lay motionless in bed. A voice inside him told him that he had to lie there, that he had to sleep.
However, he couldn't sleep.
He Xingjue blinked, sensing someone beside him. He turned around, lay on his side, and faced the person next to him.
The darkness did not hinder his vision at all; he saw a beautiful face, and in just one glance, he felt a surge of joy.
