Under the orders of the Saintess, Chen Cheng quickly prepared the corresponding items for bathing, from the bathtub to hot water and flower petals.
However, Lin Fan was keenly aware of the problem. Chen Cheng's expression was a little strange.
Could it be that … the Saintess didn't usually bathe, but she suddenly said she wanted to bathe today, so she felt something was wrong?
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, he still didn't know his name. After all, he didn't have any contact with outsiders, and Chen Cheng and the other guardian disciples kept calling him Saintess. He couldn't ask them what his name was, right?
But now, it wasn't a matter of name or not, but … wouldn't he be exposed?
Lin Fan, who was about to take off his clothes and enter the bathtub, kept his expression unchanged and said coldly, "Speak."
This was the 'pattern' he discovered in the past two or three days.
The colder he was, the more natural these guardian disciples seemed. If he was pleasant, they would be a little uncomfortable.
This was enough to prove that the Saintess in the past was also this cold.
Therefore, Lin Fan had been facing them with the attitude of a cold beauty, but … cough, cough, cough, a man's soul, a cold beauty … sigh!
"Ah?
Saintess, I … I didn't want to say anything. "
Chen Cheng trembled all over …
Didn't want to say anything?
Like hell I'll believe you.
Lin Fan's expression became even colder, as cold as ice. "I don't want to say the same thing twice."
"Saintess, please forgive me."
Chen Cheng's face turned pale. "It's … there are some rumors about you outside."
"Just say it."
Chen Cheng only wanted to slap herself twice in her heart …
That's what you get for your cheap mouth. Even though the rumors outside aren't true, there's no smoke without fire … What if the Saintess thinks that I'm the one who spread the rumors?
She was about to cry.
But at this time, she had to say it. In her opinion, if she didn't say it, the Saintess could go out and listen or ask others.
Therefore, she could only tell her in detail.
"Many servant disciples, outer disciples, and even inner disciples are spreading rumors that the Saintess failed to break through, went mad, and lost all her skills … After coming out of seclusion, she flew into a rage."
"She even, even …"
"Even what?"
"His entire body is covered in ice, and his life is hanging by a thread. He could die at any moment …"
"Forgive me, Saintess."
Chen Cheng immediately knelt down. "This, this was definitely not spread by us guardian disciples."
Lin Fan: "…"
What the hell!
Why am I on the brink of death?
His gaze was gloomy.
Who was spreading rumors?
It was unlikely that they were guardian disciples. Over the past few days, he had figured out that Chen Cheng and the other girls were his guardian disciples. In other words, they were the standard followers of the Saintess.
These people were loyal and devoted. Moreover, they were bound to him for good or ill. Naturally, they wouldn't do such a thing.
In that case, the one who spread this rumor might be the odd-job disciple from before?
What a headache!
Originally, he could have had more time to slowly understand the Zifu Holy Land. But now, this kind of rumor was spreading everywhere. It was fine if it was only among the disciples, but if it reached the ears of the Holy Maiden or something like that and they believed it to be true and came to investigate …
The possibility of him exposing himself was very high!
What should he do?
"You can leave first."
Somewhat annoyed, Lin Fan let Chen Cheng go out first. Then, his face was full of worry.
"What should I do?
Who the hell knows that cultivators are so gossipy?
And they like to spread rumors?! "
In the midst of his depression, he saw the hot steam floating in the bathtub and the fragrance was overwhelming. He couldn't help but stretch.
"Forget it, I'll take a bath and relax first."
He took off his clothes.
Not long after, looking at his white and tender skin, Lin Fan could only smile bitterly.
"Damn it, I better not let any bastard take advantage of me in the future."
He entered the bathtub.
The slightly hot warm water wrapped around his body, and a comfortable feeling instantly hit him.
"Ah, comfortable."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes comfortably. This was the first time he used a woman's body to take a bath. Some parts of it felt …
Cough, it was strange.
Then, this guy couldn't help but gesture in front of his chest.
"Tsk tsk."
Then, this guy thought of another scene. He couldn't help but get up slightly, and then …
"Hiss!!!"
"Naruto's Hinata didn't lie to me. She can indeed float."
This guy couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Then, as he soaked, he suddenly paused and his consciousness blurred …
On the other side, Qi Zixiao, who was running, also instantly 'stood at attention' and froze in place.
Then …
Qi Zixiao: "…"
Whoosh!
In a flash, she flew out of the bathtub.
Without any movement, the clothes on the side flew over by themselves, instantly covering that incomparably attractive body.
Then, her face was as cold as ice.
"I'm back?"
"But why am I bathing in the bathtub?"
"Could it be …"
No one knew what she thought of.
Boom!!!
Terrifying killing intent swept through. In an instant, the entire bedroom was shaking violently. The protective array was activated immediately, saving the bedroom from the disaster.
But even so, that shocking killing intent soared into the sky and stretched for thousands of miles!
Outside the door, Chen Cheng and the other guardian disciples' faces changed in shock. They trembled, but no one dared to say a word. They could only communicate with their eyes.
"Let's just say it's a rumor!"
"This is called Qi Deviation and losing all of her cultivation?"
"As expected, Her Highness the Saintess is still angry …" Chen Cheng's face was bitter.
…
On the other side, Snow Maiden Peak.
As the Eldest Senior Sister of the Zifu Sacred Ground, Snow Maiden's status was extremely high. If not for Qi Zixiao's appearance and peerless talent, she would have been the number one candidate for the Saintess. Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
Recently, when she heard that Qi Zixiao might very well fail to break through and lose all of her cultivation, Snow Maiden's mind became active.
Today, she gathered a few of her Junior Sisters here for a discussion.
"In my opinion, Eldest Senior Sister should be the number one candidate for the Saintess."
"That's right. Now that Qi Zixiao has lost all of her cultivation, we should help Eldest Senior Sister become the Saintess."
"In my opinion, we should be more cautious. First, we should test her. If Qi Zixiao really becomes a cripple, it won't be too late for Eldest Senior Sister to make a move …"
Snow Maiden was expressionless as she looked at her Junior Sisters' suggestions, but she was quite satisfied.
"That's right …"
The snow maiden opened her mouth, and she wanted to praise them. Just as she was about to ask them to test the waters …
Boom!!!
Purple aura, 150 miles from the east, swept across Snow Maiden Peak.
"What nonsense are you spouting?
Don't spout nonsense! "
Snow Maiden's expression changed slightly. "Who is the Saintess?
Who are you to doubt her?
Don't spout nonsense again! "
Her heart thumped violently.
Qi Zixiao failed to break through and became a cripple?!
Cripple my ass!
This killing intent, this purple aura … Do you think I'm not familiar with Qi Zixiao's aura?
At this moment, she even suspected that one of her fellow disciples who had a grudge against her was purposely spreading rumors to trick her!
