But the bathroom was pitch-dark, how could she clean herself?
It was a tricky problem.
Luo Yang hadn't figured out how to explain it, and neither had An Yuying.
Tang Guihua had already jumped to conclusions, thinking Luo Yang wanted to sneakily enjoy the sweet taste of a world for two with An Yuying.
If her guess was right, then she was already a step behind An Yuying.
The thought of missing the initiative made Tang Guihua quite anxious.
Her mouth might have been temporarily silenced by Luo Yang, but her hands were still free to move.
Therefore, Tang Guihua continued to pinch Luo Yang's thigh.
Luo Yang knew that if he covertly used his Inner Strength on his thigh, Tang Guihua naturally wouldn't be able to pinch it.
But doing so would likely lead her to change spots and pinch him somewhere else.
Hence, it was better to let her pinch to her heart's content.
After all, it wasn't very painful.
Only when Tang Guihua was pinching with all her might did Luo Yang gently pat her buttocks, signaling her to go easy with her hands.
This body language was, of course, something Tang Guihua could understand.
She silently laughed to herself, her mood lightened, and she no longer pinched Luo Yang's thigh as hard.
Coming down from the second floor, they had stayed in the bathroom for quite a while.
Now, without the lights, An Yuying didn't know if she still needed to pee.
If not, they could go back up to their rooms to rest.
Luo Yang then asked, "Does anyone else need to use the bathroom?"
Upon asking, it became clear that every beauty needed the bathroom; it seemed the thunder had indeed scared them to the point of peeing.
Without light in the bathroom, it was not easy to relieve oneself.
And since no one brought their phones along, Luo Yang said, "I'll go out and see if the power switch has tripped."
All the beauties said in unison, "Wait for us."
So Luo Yang, with one beauty under each arm, led the five women out of the bathroom.
At the power switch, Luo Yang didn't need to see clearly; he just had to open the cover and touch to know if it had tripped.
He felt around and indeed it had tripped.
Flipping the switch back on, the lights on the first floor and in the bathroom turned on.
But the tube lights on the first floor were still bleak and flickering, and together with the sound of wind, rain, and thunder outside, it was easy for the mind to wander to the various scenes from "Liao Zhai."
The long night stretched on, and the beauties still needed to go downstairs to use the bathroom.
Being on the first floor already, it made sense to take care of their physiological needs before returning upstairs, lest they had to come down again later.
"Sister An, Sister Guihua, Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, Sister Xiao Yun, you all can go to the bathroom now. I'll wait for you outside," Luo Yang said softly.
However, the beauties disagreed. Without saying a word, they pushed Luo Yang towards the bathroom with their delicate bodies.
Clearly, it wasn't Luo Yang who needed the bathroom, but he was still pushed inside.
The five beauties came back in as well.
"Sister An, you go first," Luo Yang said with a smile.
"Close your eyes, don't peek. I'll be quick," An Yuying said sweetly.
At this, Tang Guihua couldn't resist teasing a few words.
"Yuying, be careful in case the lights go out again. You'd better seize the right moment," Tang Guihua said with a smile.
"Guihua, you're talking nonsense, I'm not like what you're thinking," An Yuying said with a flushed face.
Seeing that the two village beauties were about to bicker again, Luo Yang quickly patted Tang Guihua's buttocks with his hand, signaling her to stop talking.
As a tit-for-tat response, Tang Guihua then pinched Luo Yang's arm.
The process of the five beauties using the bathroom was relatively smooth, as there were no loud thunderclaps, and they managed to stay calm.
After accompanying them to finish using the bathroom, Luo Yang led them back upstairs.
They had just reached the second floor, not yet entering their rooms.
One after another, bolts of thunder blasted outside, each sounding as though it exploded close to the rooftop, causing the house to tremble slightly.
The doors to Qin Piao's and Hong Jiaxin's rooms opened almost simultaneously.
They must have heard Luo Yang coming up.
From the panicked expressions of Qin Piao, Hong Jiaxin, and other beauties, it was clear that they too were afraid of the thunder.
"Everybody, come in,"
Luo Yang warmly invited all the beauties into his room.
Soon, the beauties streamed in one after another.
Outside, the thunder continued unabated, while inside, the room was filled with beauties.
With more people, the beauties were not as frightened, and their expressions naturally became much calmer.
Suyun needed to use the bathroom, and she called Hong Jiaxin to accompany her.
Qin Piao's room had an en suite bathroom, which Suyun used to relieve herself.
By the time Suyun and Hong Jiaxin returned to Luo Yang's room, they closed the door behind them.
The room full of beauties was a feast for the eyes.
For Luo Yang, who possessed the X-Ray Ability, it was a visual banquet.
To the left, peaks soared; to the right, summits thrust upwards.
Gazing at their youthful and vivacious body curves, aside from Shi Yun, who seemed a bit slight, the other beauties had smooth, flowing lines.
"Teacher Su, class leader, Sister Piao, Sister Fang, Sister Nan, you can also sit on the bed," Luo Yang called out.
This was his room; he was the pseudo-host.
Hence, the five beauties sat down on the edge of the bed.
Shuang Qiao, Tang Guihua, Shi Yun, and An Yuying, who were already staying in Luo Yang's room, sat on the side against the wall.
Luo Yang sat between the two double beds and, seeing Suyun and the other beauties perched sideways, realized they might be uncomfortable sitting that way.
"Teacher Su, class leader, Sister Piao, Sister Fang, Sister Nan, you can sit on the bed too, don't be shy," Luo Yang invited graciously.
As he spoke, he shifted his position, creating more room for the five "guest" beauties.
While Qin Piao was the homeowner, the room was at Luo Yang's disposal.
In other words, Luo Yang was the host inside the room, while outside, it was Qin Piao who called the shots.
The storm outside continued unabated, showing no signs of stopping.
The massive thunder had subsided, but smaller claps persisted.
Suyun and the other beauties took off their shoes and also sat on the bed.
Their seating positions varied. Suyun sat with her legs together and slanted on the bed.
Hong Jiaxin sat cross-legged.
The most relaxed was Shi Nan, who sat with her legs propped up and apart on the bed.
Then there was Qin Piao, with one leg drawn up and the other resting on the bed.
Fang Lin's position was similar to Suyun's, with her legs also resting on the bed.
The only difference was that while Suyun kept her legs tightly together, Fang Lin let them fall apart slightly.
For Luo Yang, who had the X-Ray Ability, a sweep around the room allowed him to take in the full spring scenery.
Just glancing around for a moment, his heart began to flutter with restlessness.
As his body temperature rose, his forehead began to break out in a light sweat.
In the room were ten beauties, all seated around Luo Yang.
Like surveying his own territory, Luo Yang looked at each beauty and couldn't help but feel smug, thinking that even the Emperor couldn't do better than to be surrounded by so many beauties.
Luo Yang had smelled their body fragrances before.
Now that all ten gathered together and sat on the bed, their enchanting body scents mixed and became even more intoxicating.
Taking a breath was like standing amid a sea of flowers, with the fragrance fresh and overwhelming, stirring one's soul.
And beholding their tender bodies, fair as jade, he felt even more invigorated.
In his self-satisfaction, Luo Yang couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Seeing the mischievous smile on the corner of Luo Yang's mouth, the beauties knew he was probably thinking something that would make one blush, but since he did not voice it, they could not call him out.
The beauties smiled with pursed lips.
Hong Jiaxin, loathing Luo Yang's lecherous grin the most, would always curl her lip and let out a disdainful sneer whenever she saw it.
When Luo Yang looked at Hong Jiaxin and saw her rolling her eyes, he felt embarrassed and could only laugh sheepishly.
"Class leader, why are you glaring at me?"
As he spoke, he reached out with his left hand to lightly pat Hong Jiaxin's thigh.
