At night, Xiaobai and Pangtao went back to bed early, while the little tiger returned to Mingluo's sea of consciousness and was also sleeping soundly.
The bustling hall suddenly became quiet. Mingluo sighed lightly and stood by the window looking down.
The market tonight seems to be different from the past. There are many pedestrians on the road, people are shoulder to shoulder, and it looks very lively, just like the flower street during the New Year.
Perhaps due to Mingluo's greatly improved realm, her perception ability has reached a higher level. Many details that she could not perceive before are now magnified and presented in front of her.
For example, at an inconspicuous edge of the market, a black shadow flashed by at an extremely fast speed and instantly caught Ming Luo's attention.
It’s cold tonight!
Ye Zhihan is coming back!
Mingluo felt sweet in her heart. Recently, Ye Zhihan rarely came back before she went to bed.
Estimating the time, Ming Luo hurried over to open the door for Ye Zhihan. Unexpectedly, just as Ming Luo opened the door, a fleeting black shadow flew past in front of him. The black shadow did not stop and rushed straight to the bathroom next door.
Ming Luo frowned slightly. There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Could it be that Ye Zhihan was injured?
She quietly hid in her own shadow space, controlling the pool of shadows to sneak into the bathroom next door.
Although it was called a bathroom, Mingluo felt that the name was totally unworthy of the high-end atmosphere of the room next door.
In the middle is a steaming hot spring. Beside the square hot spring, there are four golden animal heads. Hot water flows out of the mouths of the animal heads, creating clear water splashes.
The interior decoration is even more luxurious, with a red-gold ceiling and several gems shining with bright light. Two golden dragon sculptures are wrapped around each gem, and the surrounding area is decorated with lustrous glass beads. In the middle is a huge screen with strange patterns painted on it, as if two little men are fighting. The painting style is weird and it is really hard to appreciate it.
The decoration of the bathroom is similar to that of Ye Zhihan's hall. It is full of gloomy and gold-colored atmosphere, which is really not in line with Ye Zhihan's cold temperament.
Ming Luo skillfully walked around the screen and sneaked straight to the hot spring.
Hot steam rose from the hot spring and white mist swirled around, but there was no sign of Ye Zhihan.
Ming Luo felt strange, so he quietly poked his head out and looked into the hot spring. It seemed that someone was swimming under the calm water surface.
"Huh!" Ye Zhihan emerged from the water like a dragon. He wiped the water droplets off his face and shook his hair, leaving Ming Luo with only a handsome and strong back.
"Ah..." Ming Luo couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Ye Zhihan's back covered with scars.
Ye Zhihan's back was covered with wounds of all sizes, including knife wounds, sword wounds, burns, scratches from animal claws, and scars from chess pieces. There were even many wounds that Ming Luo could not recognize.
With so many wounds, what on earth had he been through? Ming Luo felt a dull pain in his heart.
"Ugly?" Ye Zhihan turned around and met Ming Luo's surprised eyes with a calm expression.
His face was covered by mist, as if covered by a mysterious veil. His high-tied black hair was wet by the warm water and fell wetly on his shoulders, but his ice-blue eyes looked straight into Mingluo's heart.
"Not ugly." Ming Luo leaned forward. Since he had been discovered anyway, he might as well sit next to him and watch him openly.
Ye Zhihan didn't say anything else, just soaked quietly in the hot spring, his wet hair falling on his forehead, blocking his eyes.
I don’t know if it was Mingluo’s illusion, but Ye Zhihan, who was always cold and unapproachable, seemed very fragile at this moment.
"Just hope you don't get hurt in the future." Ming Luo said with a smile, staring at Ye Zhihan.
"Everything has just begun..." Ye Zhihan said in a barely audible voice, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was reminding Mingluo.
If possible, who would want to add ugly scars on his body? But he had to fight, before for his life, now for Ming Luo.
Ye Zhihan looked up at the jade beads on the ceiling, smiled slightly, swam to the hot spring where Mingluo was, lay on the platform, gently scratched Mingluo's nose, and said, "How long are you going to watch?"
Mingluo then realized that Ye Zhihan was not wearing any clothes in the hot spring!
She was so shameless that she openly peeked at Ye Zhihan taking a bath and even chatted with him!
"Ahem, you wash first, I'll wait for you in the room." Ming Luo covered his face with his hands, looked at Ye Zhihan through his fingers, and took a step to escape.
"Don't go." Ye Zhihan said softly. His clear voice seemed to have a magical power, attracting Mingluo to look back at him.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Ming Luo calmed himself down and said calmly.
"Stay with me." Ye Zhihan held Ming Luo's hand. As long as he exerted force, Ming Luo would fall into the hot spring and be held in his arms.
Strange, when did Ye Zhihan become so clingy?
Ming Luo continued to sit by the hot spring with a flushed face. Oh no, she also liked the clingy Ye Zhihan.
Ming Luo's face turned red, and he quickly raised his hands to cover his face, continuing to look at Ye Zhihan through his fingers.
Ye Zhihan, who was soaking in the hot spring, was like a pure mermaid who should not be touched. Ming Luo resisted the urge to look around and only locked his eyes on Ye Zhihan's face.
Even so, her eyes could not help but glance down, at the tight jawline, the sexy Adam's apple, the beautiful collarbone, the full chest muscles, the smooth abdominal muscles, the perfect mermaid line...
Oh no, I can’t look down anymore. Mingluo quickly retracted his gaze and covered his eyes with his fingers.
Ye Zhihan looked at Mingluo with great interest, the smile in his eyes becoming even wider. In the blink of an eye, he put on his clothes, gently tapped Mingluo's forehead, leaned over to her ear and asked, "Do you want to wash too?"
