Jiang Shouzhong internally scoffed, but his face showed a sincere smile as he said, "Mengniang, Senior, you needn't overthink it. Although I am an official of the Liushan Division, I do not hold any prejudice against demons. I wouldn't disdain to use this water just because you've bathed in it, Mengniang.

Mengniang was startled and quickly rushed to the side of the bathtub, pressing down on the other's shoulders.
Looking at the pure and kind young man, Mengniang felt inexplicably ashamed. She remembered how gentlemanly he had been when he faced that girl's confession tonight, and she let out a self-mocking laugh, "I didn't mean that... never mind, go ahead and bathe."
Mengniang vanished inside the room, leaving only a faint, light fragrance behind.
Jiang Shouzhong helplessly rubbed his face and muttered softly, "Women are really troublesome."
