After half a cup of tea.
Fang Chaozhou sat on the edge of the bed, carefully wiping the head of the cat in front of him with a wet towel. The white cat was very cooperative. It didn't struggle and just kept purring. After Fang Chaozhou finished wiping its head, it took the initiative to rub its head in Fang Chaozhou's hand.
Fang Chaozhou was a little stunned by the white cat's excessive closeness. In his impression, cats are supposed to be aloof, so how come this cat is more enthusiastic than a dog?
However, now is not the time to think about the cat. He should think about where he is and how to leave here.
The room he was in looked really strange. Whether it was the floor tiles or the furnishings in the room, they were all white, including the cat in front of him, which was all white.
Just as Fang Chaozhou was about to get up and go out to see what was happening outside, someone came in first.
The footsteps were very light, the sound of soft-soled shoes falling on jade tiles.
Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but look towards the direction where the footsteps came from, and soon saw a figure, it was the man from yesterday. However, the other party's expression seemed even uglier than yesterday.
Zhongli Yueshui walked to the bedside, handed the porcelain bowl in his hand to Fang Chaozhou, and said in a calm voice, "Drink this."
Fang Chaozhou took a look at the porcelain bowl. It seemed to contain medicine, but it had the smell of medicinal herbs and also a hint of blood.
"What is this?" he asked hesitantly.
"Medicine." Zhongli Yueshui said coldly.
Fang Chaozhou paused, loosened the towel in his hand, and silently took the porcelain bowl from the other person's hand. He tried to take a sip and almost spit it out. This thing is even more unpalatable than what I drank during the tribulation. It's not just bitter, but more of a fishy smell. The smell makes people feel uncomfortable. After drinking it, my stomach feels like it's churning.
Fang Chaozhou frowned as he looked at the porcelain bowl in his hand, then looked at Zhongli Yueshui. Seeing the other's cold eyes, he finally pinched his nose and forced the medicine in the porcelain bowl into his mouth. As soon as he drank it, he raised his hand to cover his lips to prevent himself from spitting it out.
When he finally stopped wanting to vomit, he just put his hand down when he heard the other person say, "After you finish drinking, go take a medicinal bath."
Fang Chaozhou was stunned. He couldn't help but look at the man in front of him, "I..."
But before he could finish his words, the other party turned around and walked out. Fang Chaozhou looked at the other person's back as he left and became even more stunned. At this moment, the white cat sitting on his lap meowed.
The white cat jumped off his legs, took a few steps forward, then looked back at him, as if waiting for him.
Fang Chaozhou felt that he understood what the other party meant, so he supported himself on the bed with his hands and slowly stood up. He still feels uncomfortable now. Unlike the previous soreness, the pain today is a dull pain.
Because of the pain, he walked slowly. The white cat was really waiting for him. After walking a few steps, it stopped and waited for him. It led Fang Chaozhou out.
Fang Chaozhou came here dazed yesterday and saw almost nothing. When he left the house, he found that not only the house was white, but even the outside was white.
"Meow." The white cat in front found that Fang Chaozhou did not follow, so it ran back. Fang Chaozhou suppressed his surprise and continued to follow the other party.
He walked along the corridor until he came to a room with the door wide open. Then the white cat stopped, turned around and meowed at him. Then he jumped over the high threshold and went in.
When Fang Chaozhou saw the other party go in, he couldn't help but look towards the exit of the courtyard. If he escaped now, what were the chances of success?
It seemed to be Zero. He seemed to be sitting on a bird yesterday and flew for a while before arriving here.
After realizing that the possibility of escape was zero, Fang Chaozhou resigned himself to his fate and went into the house. The cat was standing by the screen waiting for him. When it saw him come in, it walked behind the screen.
Fang Chaozhou followed and walked around the screen, and saw the large bathtub behind the screen and the man in white standing by the pool.
Zhongli Yueshui looked at the potion in the pool for a while, then he side-glanced at Fang Chaozhou. There was no emotion in his hazel eyes, "Go in."
Fang Chaozhou heard the order again and finally couldn't help it, "Can you answer a question for me first?"
Zhongli Yueshui's expression remained unchanged. "Speak."
"Who are you?" Fang Chaozhou actually wanted to ask yesterday.
"Zhongli Yueshui."
Upon hearing this, Fang Chaozhou repeated the name he heard, "Zhongli..." He suddenly stopped. Isn't this the name of the leader of the Tianshui Sect? The legendary number one person in the world?
Thinking of this, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but stare at the man in front of him, from the jade crown that tied his hair, all the way down to his silk shoes.
If the other person is Zhongli Yueshui, then according to seniority he is his great-grandmaster.
Since she was his great-grandmaster, she was not the mistress he had imagined.
Fang Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder the other party helped him to overcome the thunder tribulation. But why did the other party only help him to overcome the thunder tribulation and not Xue Danrong?
Is it because he is very smart that Zhongli Yueshui likes him more?
Well, it seems not.
Fang Chaozhou recalled what the other party said when he was undergoing the tribulation. Zhongli Yueshui seemed to think that he was weaker, so he brought him here to undergo the tribulation.
While Fang Chaozhou was thinking about this and that, Zhongli Yueshui over there seemed to have lost his patience.
"Fang Chaozhou."
When Fang Chaozhou heard the name, he was stunned for a moment before he said, "Yes."
Sure enough, his identity has been completely exposed. In front of a powerful person like Zhongli Yueshui, his disguise skills must be useless.
"Go in."
Fang Chaozhou looked at the white water in the bathtub, then at Zhongli Yueshui's expression before he began to untie his belt. When he took off his outer robe, he paused when he saw that Zhongli Yueshui had not left yet. He looked at the other person and saw that he showed no signs of going out. Then he looked at the cat at his feet. The cat was also looking at him and didn't seem to be planning to go out either.
"Master, do I need someone to accompany me when I take the medicinal bath?" Fang Chaozhou asked cautiously.
After he finished speaking, Zhongli Yueshui moved. He walked out. Before he walked out, he called out a name, "Tubai."
Hearing the sound, the white cat under Fang Chaozhou's feet swung its tail heavily on the ground, but still followed.
After Tu Bai went out, he saw Zhongli Yueshui standing in the corridor not far away, so he walked over. He squatted at the other's feet, raised his head, and meowed.
Zhongli Yueshui ignored it. Tu Bai became a little anxious. He stood up, pulled down Zhongli Yueshui's trouser legs, and looked back.
That direction is where Fang Chaozhou is.
Not only did it pull at Zhongli Yueshui's trouser legs, it also kept meowing until it was picked up.
Zhongli Yueshui held Tu Bai in his arms, his eyes looking into the boundless distance. Tu Bai found that he could speak, so he stopped meowing and said directly, "Master Zhongli, why are you still so indifferent to him? He finally came back to us."
No one answered this question.
Tubai was a little angry, and let out an angry growl in his throat, but soon he lay down in Zhongli Yueshui's arms aggrievedly, "Master Zhongli, I really miss him, but I am also very angry. I don't like the smell of him now."
It paused for a moment, and its tone became extremely vicious again, "I want to bite to pieces the person who gave him this taste. I want to bite to pieces! I want to bite to pieces all the people who prevent me from seeing him!"
Zhongli Yueshui never answered Tu Bai's words, as if he didn't hear them at all. He just looked into the distance. After an unknown amount of time, he put Tu Bai down and said, "Go and watch at the door. You must soak for two hours before you can come out."
When Tu Bai heard this, he immediately asked, "Where is Lord Zhongli going?"
"The medicine you need to drink after taking the medicinal bath has not been boiled yet." After Zhongli Yueshui said this, he turned and left. Tu Bai looked at the man's back as he left, and his ears slowly drooped. With its tail hanging down, it slowly walked to the bathroom door and lay down.
The late autumn wind blowing on it should be the most comfortable time under normal circumstances, but it does not feel comfortable at all now.
Tubai couldn't help but turn his head to look at the door. He stood up, moved closer to the door, and finally lay down again next to the door panel, listening to the subtle sounds coming from inside, and his ears moved along with them.
Fang Chaozhou didn't know how long he would have to soak in the bath, but even if he wanted to go out, he couldn't, because the bath was surrounded by a barrier that he couldn't break, so he could only stay inside.
It was not until time slowly passed that he realized the barrier had been broken and he walked out of the bath.
There was a set of new clothes placed next to the bathtub. Fang Chaozhou took a few looks and decided to wear his own clothes. However, he realized belatedly that the storage ring on his hand was gone.
Without the storage ring, he is a pauper.
Fang Chaozhou immediately returned to the bathing pool to look for it, but he searched the entire bottom of the water. Not only the bottom of the water, but he also searched from the entrance of the house to the edge of the pool, but he did not find the storage ring.
When Fang Chaozhou wanted to put on his old clothes and go out to find the storage ring, he found that the old clothes that were on the screen were also gone.
The situation now is that if he doesn't wear the new clothes placed here, he will have to go out naked.
Fang Chaozhou could only put on the new clothes, which were white from the inside out, including the shoes and socks.
After putting on his clothes, he walked to the door, but before his hand touched the door handle, he heard a meow outside.
After opening the door, Fang Chaozhou found the white cat squatting at the door. It was staring at him with its pair of watery mandarin duck eyes, which made Fang Chaozhou's heart soften instantly. He couldn't help but bend down to hug it. The other party did not resist, and even before he hugged it, it made a gurgling sound in its throat.
After holding the furry animal in his arms, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but curl his lips. He walked out while stroking the fur. After taking a few steps, he saw Zhongli Yueshui walking towards him.
When he glanced at the porcelain bowl in the other person's hand, Fang Chaozhou's lips, which had just been raised, drooped again.
After drinking another bowl of extremely fishy medicine, Fang Chaozhou's stomach couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and wanted to rush out to vomit, but he couldn't.
Because as soon as he got up, he was frozen.
This must have lasted for an incense stick of time, until Fang Chaozhou could no longer vomit, and the immobilization spell on his body was finally released.
The immobilization spell was broken, and Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but look at Zhongli Yueshui who cast the spell on him, "Master, you..." He swallowed the next words back when he met those extremely cold eyes.
This is medicine, it is right not to vomit.
Thinking of this, Fang Chaozhou sat down again, but many sweets flashed through his mind. Thinking of sweets, he thought of his storage ring. Just as he was about to ask Zhongli Yueshui if he had seen his storage ring, the other party's hand reached out first.
An oil-paper bag was placed in front of him, and fragrance wafted from inside.
"Don't eat too much, two at most at a time."
