The bloodstains on his face and clothes were laced with snake venom, which, although it wouldn't cause too much damage to the skin, was still best washed off sooner rather than later.
Moreover, it was easier to wash off the bloodstains on clothes before they dried up; otherwise, even if you managed to clean the surface stains after they dried, some unsightly blood marks would remain.
So Wang Chen didn't refuse Li Jiaoman's invitation.
After a slight nod, he followed Li Jiaoman to the outer room.
Since there wasn't a separate bathing area, Li Jiaoman just brought over a warm kettle, moved a washstand over, and poured some hot water into the basin.
She pointed to a water tank next to them and said, "First take off your clothes, and I'll help you clean the bloodstains on them, then you can mix some cold water and wash the blood off your face thoroughly."
Wang Chen nodded, took off his short-sleeved shirt, and handed it to Li Jiaoman.
