Chapter 42 Taking a Bath
For some reason, Xia Yueke felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if an invisible thread was pulling her thoughts.
She secretly wondered if there was someone like her who came here from that place and gave these new things to the orcs?
Once this idea came into her mind, it was like a seed that quickly took root and sprouted in her heart, filling her with curiosity.
After hearing this question, Qian Jingyao lowered his head slightly and began to think.
After a moment, he slowly raised his head, his eyes became distant and deep, and he saw into the distant past.
"If we were the first to do this, it should have been taught to us by the Saint over a hundred years ago!"
There was a hint of awe in his voice.
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up instantly. This was exactly the answer she couldn't wait to know.
"Saint? Where is she now?"
she asked eagerly, leaning forward slightly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Qian Jingyao was a little puzzled and didn't understand why Keke was so interested in these questions, but he still answered patiently:
"The Saint seems different from us. She aged very quickly... and she returned to the Beast God in less than a hundred years. Perhaps she is the Beast God's messenger, her mission completed, and she is returning?"
There was a hint of speculation in his tone. After all, these were only what he heard from the elders of the tribe, and he himself had never seen what the saint looked like.
When Xia Yueke heard that the saint had passed away, she felt mixed emotions and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.
She secretly guessed that the saint must have come from the same place as herself! But she must be wearing!
"All right…"
Her voice dropped.
Qian Jingyao looked at Keke in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly became depressed, but he still said gently:
"Okay, Coco, you don't have to worry about these things. Let's just do the things at hand first. Don't we need to take a shower?"
Xia Yueke nodded slightly. Yes, let’s explore those complicated things later. Now that she is still so young, it is better to focus on the things in front of her.
When Qian Jingyao saw her nod, he no longer wondered what weird thoughts were going on in Xia Yuke's little head.
He squatted down, slowly put his slender fingers into the water, stirred it gently, felt the water temperature, and after testing the water temperature, he found that the water temperature was just right.
It was neither too cold to make people shiver, nor too hot from the sun, but the temperature was just right for the skin.
Qian Jingyao stood up and looked around.
His sharp eyes swept over every corner of the stream, every blade of grass, and even the dense branches and leaves of the trees. Only after confirming that there was no orc did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he walked gently to Xia Yueke. He planned to take off the rough but warm animal skin on her body first, and then put her in the water to wash her thoroughly.
Xia Yueke's face suddenly turned red, and the blush spread quickly like the sunset in the sky, from her pink cheeks to her small earlobes.
She felt a little embarrassed, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly spread out her big furry tail.
The tail is big and fluffy, like a gorgeous fan. The hair on it is soft and smooth, and each hair has a faint luster.
She used her tail to shield her small body tightly.
"I...I can wash it myself. I don't need your help."
Xia Yueke spoke in a low voice, her voice as thin as a mosquito.
Although they are partners, she is still young, and in her heart, shyness and concern for privacy prevail at this moment.
She didn't want to think about these matters between men and women so early. Besides, she longed to have her own little secrets and needed her own private space!
Otherwise, it will be so embarrassing to get along with each other in the future!
Qian Jingyao was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then a gentle smile appeared on his face.
He smiled and nodded, "Okay, then Coco, wash it yourself. Let me know if you need any help."
His voice was low and magnetic, full of doting.
After saying that, he turned around and stood there, quietly looking at the woods in the distance, leaving Coco a quiet and private space.
Xia Yueke then carefully immersed herself in the water, and the water gently wrapped around her.
Just as she was about to wash, she suddenly felt something pecking her feet gently. She was so scared that she screamed and almost jumped out of the water.
Qian Jingyao quickly turned around and asked nervously:
"What's the matter?"
Xia Yueke replied in panic:
"Something bit me, it must be a monster in the water!"
Xia Yueke felt that there were all kinds of strange things in this animal world. Maybe there was a monster in the water!
Qian Jingyao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He went into the water to check. It turned out to be a small fish causing trouble. He smiled and said:
"It's a small fish, Coco. Fish are a kind of food, not monsters! Coco, you must have never eaten fish before, right? The fish in this stream aren't tasty. When we have time later, let's go fishing in the river over in the Misty Forest!"
"Then I can make some soup for Coco to drink. It will help her grow faster and stronger!"
Xia Yueke curled her lips and said, "Am I not strong enough? If I get any stronger, I won't be able to walk!"
Qian Jingyao laughed, "Keke, you look so healthy now! You must be the healthiest female. Besides, you're not strong at all now. I'm really afraid that a gust of wind will blow you away. You should become stronger!"
Xia Yuke looked at her bulging belly and felt ashamed that Qian Jingyao could still say that she was not strong enough!
"Okay, okay, I get it, turn around!"
Then she continued to gently lift up the water with her little hands, and the water slid down from her fingertips. She used her tender little hands to carefully wash her face, neck and arms, and every movement was made with utmost seriousness!
Xia Yuke finally got the chance to take a bath this time. She felt like she was about to turn into a little mud monkey, so she had to wash herself thoroughly.
She has never had the chance to take a bath since she was born.
She even wondered if she was turning into a walking dust collector.
If this continues, she feels that her fur will become tangled like a ball of yarn, and maybe it can be used as a bird's nest by then!
Her big tail occasionally slapped the water, creating ripples. The ripples were like her mood at the moment, spreading out in circles, as if announcing to the whole world her joy of taking a bath.
After Xia Yueke finished washing herself, she scooped up the big tail and held it in her hand. The fur on the tail was wet and heavy, like a big mop that had just been fished out of the water.
