SWNOVELXO Chapter 31 - He’s Tired
Chapter 31: He’s Tired
Watching the two of them playfully tease each other,
Qin Keqing didn’t dare to even take a deep breath, quietly eating on her own.
After finishing the meal,
Lin Daiyu took her to familiarize herself with the territory and its various buildings!
Everything else was manageable,
though still novel, and easy to understand,
but the “fragrant toilet”…
Qin Keqing could only explain it with the phrase, “Let’s not make new innovations.”
As for this,
what could Wu Chi do?
In the evening,
10 PM.
Wu Chi sat in a chair, counting the Void Source Stones and Void Crystals in his inventory,
thinking about the best way to use them.
For now,
due to the terrifying monster waves he faced, far worse than what others dealt with, the risk was high, but so were the rewards!
From today’s monster wave, he had gotten quite a lot of both items!
“Void Crystals are the hard currency of this era, money! Naturally, the more the better!”
“Right now, using Void Crystals to restore stock or repair buildings doesn’t require much.”
“The key, actually, is summoning soldiers and heroes!”
“On the other hand, Void Source Stones can only be slowly accumulated…”
Wu Chi thought to himself.
Suddenly,
the door opened,
and the two women entered, holding hands, both dressed in new clothes.
Their hair was tied up with jade hairpins, their faces still holding a soft, radiant glow.
They had just taken a bath, using water from the Moon Well,
and now they looked dazzling,
their jade-like skin gleaming in the dim light of the room, more striking than the light itself.
“Gongzi, you can go wash up now.”
Lin Daiyu smiled, her beautiful eyes seemingly capable of capturing the soul,
her lips curled slightly, as if transmitting some unspoken message.
Wu Chi cleared his throat and, with a serious face, walked out.
The two women had used a bath barrel in the Red Mansion to bathe.
At this moment,
the water in the bath barrel had been emptied, cleaned, and left outside the door.
Seeing this,
Wu Chi suddenly felt a bit regretful.
The beautiful women’s bathwater…
“Pah!”
Wu Chi hurriedly shook his head, trying to dismiss his inappropriate thoughts.
He put away the bath barrel, grabbed a towel, bath gel, and a small bucket of water,
and went to the Moon Well to collect some water before beginning to bathe by the enclosure.
This was a common scenario for most new lords,
with no one or buildings early on,
so they might as well bathe outdoors.
The wind was cool, and the vast void never had anyone to watch!
After finishing his bath,
Wu Chi changed into clean clothes and returned to the small house.
Under the dim yellow light,
the two women were already sitting by the bed, whispering to each other.
When he entered,
Qin Keqing froze, her phoenix eyes looking at Wu Chi,
and then she shyly turned her head, a faint red climbing up her fair neck.
“Sister Keqing, Gongzi is covered in water vapor. Could you help him out?”
Lin Daiyu lightly patted Qin Keqing’s hand,
and after a brief hesitation, Qin Keqing stood up, walking over and giving Wu Chi a courtesy.
“No need for formalities, what do you need?”
Wu Chi asked, confused.
Qin Keqing raised her hand, and the ethereal [Fengyue Baojian] appeared.
This was not an item, but the manifestation of her talent.
The next moment,
the water vapor and cold air surrounding Wu Chi were drawn away and gathered into her palm.
Qin Keqing flicked her hand, and the vapor transformed into mist, rising and dissipating in no time.
As the mist faded,
the beautiful young woman’s face turned bright red,
and she hurriedly stepped back.
“Magic can be used like this? Amazing!”
Wu Chi ran his hand through his hair, in awe.
“Power isn’t just about destructive force!”
“Gongzi, Sister Keqing’s talent is truly extraordinary. It might have even more powerful uses.”
Lin Daiyu explained softly, then added,
“It’s getting late, let’s rest early. Tomorrow may bring another battle!”
After speaking,
she took off her shoes and socks,
placed her fair feet on the bed,
and then lay down on the inner side.
“Eh!?”
Qin Keqing seemed to understand something,
and her face immediately turned scarlet. Her beautiful eyes were full of shock.
“That’s not appropriate. Should I sleep on the floor?”
Wu Chi hesitated for a moment.
But the moment he said it, he immediately wanted to slap himself.
“Gongzi, are you afraid?”
At this moment,
Lin Daiyu’s gentle voice rang out, her bewitching gaze locking onto Wu Chi,
immediately igniting his fire.
“What do I have to be afraid of? Do you think I would lose out?”
Wu Chi snorted, climbed into the bed, and lay down next to her.
Seeing this,
Qin Keqing trembled, and thought about saying, “I’ll rest in the Red Mansion” or “I’ll sit on a chair,”
but she was afraid of upsetting Wu Chi,
and at the same time, she realized she was now his possession, so she hesitated.
After a while,
she bit her lip, took off her shoes and socks, and nervously lay down on Wu Chi’s right side.
One bed,
three people.
At some point, the oil lamp dimmed.
In the darkness,
Qin Keqing couldn’t fall asleep, only hearing the soft sounds of breathing.
She carefully turned her head, and saw that Wu Chi had already fallen asleep,
a faint smile on his youthful, handsome face.
“He’s tired.”
Suddenly,
a voice from Lin Daiyu’s side came through, a bit lower in tone,
“Let him rest well…”
Qin Keqing seemed to understand something,
her eyes softening,
and after thinking for a moment,
she stopped resisting, leaning against Wu Chi and closing her eyes.
