Chapter 439: Sharing A Bath With The Son Of Heaven


    When Chen Mo finally broke free of the suffering from harmonizing with the White Tiger''s soul, it was like a thousand years had passed. With great difficulty, he opened his eyelids that were as heavy as lead, and what he saw was a delicate andfortable room.


    Hey atop a soft bed. The surrounding furniture was crafted from white rampart, delicate and luxurious.


    The entire inside of the room was filled with an ethereal scent. If not for the fact he could distinctly feel his heartbeat, Chen Mo would have thought he had gone to heaven.


    Several maids knelt inside the room. They wore white jackets and skirts, appearing very respectful.


    Chen Mo wrinkled his brow. His head still hurt a bit, his entire body boiled, and he was covered in sweat. Every pore in his body seemed to be ame.


    "What is this ce?"


    Chen Mo asked them.


    "This the Celestial Foodstuff¹ First Pavilion." The mid lowered her head.


    "Celestial Foodstuff First Pavilion?" Chen Mo thought that, in the end, Qilin Martial Emperor Liu Hongyu wanted to rear him. He could not have brought here by her, right. Thinking of this, Chen Mo''s heart tightened, and his eyes showed murderous intent.


    "Hmph, no need to be nervous. This ce is the Star Mansion Pce. You are safe here."


    A slightly childlike girl''s voice entered the pavilion. A youngdy dressed like a bat walked in. Her build was delicate, her eyes clear and bright, very enchanting.


    "Lady Jing Dan!"


    The maids knelt.


    "All of you, withdraw. No one stays." The young girl, Jing Dan, ordered.


    "But the Princess'' orders." The maids hesitated for a moment.


    "I have my own arrangements, I will exin to the Princess." Jing Dan snorted.


    "As youmand."


    The maids rose and shuffled out of the room.


    Chen Mo looked at the girl.


    Jing Dan.


    This name was a bit familiar. Thinking carefully, Chen Mo recalled that he was a famous general who helped found the Eastern Han dynasty, a subordinate of Liu Xiu and twentieth among the Cloud Terrace''s Twenty-eight Generals.


    "Pervert." Jing Dan grit her teeth and covered her chest. Her cor extended downwards, exposing a bit of cleavage. Although her chest was not as majestic and overwhelming as her Elder Sister, she was not very much like a little girl.²


    Seeing Chen Mo stare at her, Jing Dan cursed.


    "Apologies, Your Servant feels you are familiar, that he knows you from somewhere, Lady, and lost focus." Since she was one of Liu Xiu''s officers, no matter what, he had to establish a good rtionship first.


    "I would rather die than get familiar with you." Jing Dan was even more sure that men truly did not have a single good thing about them. She did not even dare acknowledge him.


    The young girl was quite frank, not holding back in the slightest.


    "You are even willing to die for me, Your Servant can only devote himself to you." Chen Mo saw she was adorable,pletely without the feeling of a Star General. He could not help but tease her.


    "Who is willing to die for you." Jing Dan cursed. "Do not be narcissistic. Other than Elder Sister Houxiu, Jing Dan does not acknowledge anyone."


    "So she saved Your Servant? Your Servant is not sure how to thank her." Chen Mo restored his seriousness.


    Jing Dan rolled her eyes and chuckled: "I will go inform Elder Sister you have awakened. However, your body is too foul to the nose. First, go wash yourself clean in the Cloud Pool. Do not sully Elder Sister''s eyes."


    Chen Mo felt this youngdy was a bit strange, but she was right. His body was currently sore and in pain, and he reeked of perspiration. It was very unbearable.


    Jing Dan pointed in the direction of the Cloud Pool and left.


    Walking past a corridor, Jing Dan did not go to inform Liu Houxiu like she said she would at all. Rather, she seized the opportunity while Chen Mo rose to go to the Cloud Pool herself first.


    Right now, Elder Sister was bathing in the Cloud Pool, and Jing Dan had already concocted a n.


    Whe would wait until this man went to the Cloud Pool to bathe, then seize the moment and rm the other sisters. She would say this man wanted to peep at Elder Sister Houxiu bathing, that he engaged in repulsive conduct. Heh, heh, at that time, this man would make all sorts of excuses, but Elder Sister Houxiu would force him out of the Star Mansion Pce for sure.


    In her mind, she had formed a perfect n. Jing Dan arrived at the Cloud Pool in delight, and she could hear the sound of bathing behind the Cloud Pool. She knew that Elder Sister Houxiu had a habit of bathing here everyday at this time. The other sisters did not dare disturb her.


    When the time came, she need only scream. Truly, this was the perfect moment.


    The girl reveled in her own wit.


    Arriving at the Cloud Pool, Jing Dan again had all the other maidspletely withdraw, so as to avoid ruining her n. Then, she waited for the man to "peep."


    "Jing Dan, what are you doing here."


    Jing Dan was in the middle ofcently enjoying her plot when suddenly, a cultured and refined woman walked over.


    "Ah, Sister Jia Fu." Jing Dan was startled.


    "The Princess is bathing right now, you are not to disturb her." Jia Fu said.


    "No way, I was only helping keep watch for the Princess." Jing Dan nervously said.


    Everyone in the Star Mansion Pce was a woman, so Jia Fu did not feel there was anything to keep watch about. Besides, did they need to worry about the Princess at all? "Right, Sister Deng Huang is looking for you. Go to the Hornwood Hall."


    "Huh, why is Elder Sister Deng Huang looking for me right now?" Jing Dan was glum.


    "You know Sister Deng Huang''s personality. Do not let her wait too long." Jia Fu said. "Hurry and go."


    Jing Dan nced down the corner. That man''s figure was nowhere in sight yet.


    "Then, Sister Jia Fu, can you stay here for now." Jing Dan said. "Apany the Princess? Pretty please, Sister Jia Fu" The girl pitifully begged.


    Jia Fu was helpless against this little sister, "I will help you watch over the Princess. Go on, now."


    "Good, I will be right back." Jing Dan flew towards the Hornwood Hall and vanished in an instant.


    "Jia Fu, is something the matter?"


    Liu Xiu''s voice came from inside the Cloud Pool.


    "I have disturbed you, Princess. The Qilin Star Kingdom has invaded. Deng Yu has gathered the other Star Mansions to discuss. We have made you worry, Princess."


    "You may go for now." Liu Houxiu softly said.


    "As youmand."


    Jia Fu bowed and left the Cloud Pool.


    Chen Mo left the room and found that the pce was extremely quiet. The entire pce was filled with the aura of the ethereal nine heavens, but he did not sense anything out of ce.


    The Cloud Pool was near the Celestial Foodstuff First Pavilion. It was visible past a corridor.


    The Star Mansion Pce''s decor was very elegant and exquisite, unlike his impression of pces being zed tiles and glimmering gems. The interior of the pce had many naturalndscapes. Walking among them was rxing.


    Through a quiet bamboo grove, he came to a in. A circr white jade stone seat jutted out of the ground. Here, one could meditate upon and appreciate the beauty of the green bamboo, to listen to their swaying leaves. Chen Mo undressed here and noticed there was not even a towel.


    Past this ce was the Cool Breeze Corridor. The wind blew gently here, making the bamboo sway. At both ends of the hallway were naturally crafted murals.


    A cloud of steam passed gracefully through the forest. Just making skin contact with this steam was very soothing. Apparently, the steam contained elements beneficial to Star Mansions. Chen Mo sensed that the White Tiger''s soul was ravenously absorbing this steam.


    Chen Mo impatiently entered the Cloud Pool, pushing open the gates.


    Before he could absorb the steam, Chen Mo was frozen stiff by the scene in front of his eyes.


    Right before his eyes, a woman with her back turned towards him fiddled with her ck hair. The woman was stark naked, her crystalline skin like white jade, supple as water. Her build was superb, her butt full and her figure slim, curvaceous in all the right ces.


    Every inch of her skin seemed to magically draw a person''s eyes.


    The two people made eye contact. The woman did not expect a man would enter the Cloud Pool, and her bright eyes were also nk.


    "ApologiesI was not aware someone was in here." Chen Mo very firmly turned around.


    Fortunately, this ethereal woman was very calm. She did not scream out like he imagined, nor did she make a furious expression. She was extremelyposed, just like those bright eyes of hers, filled with refinement.


    "That Jing Dan girl had mee in here, I thought there was no one here." Chen Mo realized now that she had plotted against him. "I am heading out right now."


    Just as Chen Mo was about to leave.


    "Your Distinguished Self, stay."


    The youngdy softly said.


    "Since you havee in, bathe in the Cloud Pool. The soul has just harmonized with Your Distinguished Self''s body. The waters of the Cloud Pool will help." Liu Houxiu was very calm, as if she was speaking about something natural.


    Chen Mo wanted to refuse, but his pores were greedily absorbing the steam from the Cloud Pool. He waspletely unable to decline.


    Since his counterpart said as much, Chen Mo was not a bashful person at all. "Then I shall be so bold."


    Chen Mo shut his eyes and entered the pool. He could not help but let out a moan from feeling sofortable. The water sloshed as it washed his skin. The lingering pain from harmonizing with the soul was immediately reced by this pleasant sensation.


    "Your Distinguished Self, you can open your eyes." Liu Houxiu very faintly smiled.


    Chen Mo grunted and opened his eyes.


    The young woman was already in the pool and facing him. Only half her snow-white shoulders were visible, butthat vaguely visible snow-white roundness were half visible above the water like water polo balls.


    Spectacrly astonishing.


    Chen Mo believed his own willpower to be resolute enough, that no one could resist charms better than he could, but from just this nce, his qi-blood surged into his <i>dantian</i>.


    His body immediately had a reaction.


    His nose was somewhat hot. Chen Mo touched his nose, shifting his gaze away from that woman''s bosom with great difficulty and stared her in the eye.


    Liu Houxiu was still calm although she already noticed Chen Mo''s reaction.


    The girl''s calmness spread to Chen Mo, who used the Bodhi Soul Technique to recover, but a certain ce remained uncontroble due to the White Tiger''s soul being too strong.


    The pool was four to five meters deep, which was quiterge, but the poolwater was very clean, to the point that the bottom was visible. With just a nce, one could see everything. A man and woman, their naked bodies fully exposed in the pool, stared at one another. This was very awkward.


    Chen Mo inhaled and cupped his fist in gratitude. "Your Servant is Chen Mo, many thanks to the Lady for saving my life."


    He still remembered some of what happened during the Western Fields Qilin Hunt.


    "You have no need to thank me. You saved Tayan and freed the White Tiger. This is what you should have received." The girl''s voice was soft, yet these words entered his heart with more force than anything else.


    "The Lady seems very fond of the White Tiger?" Chen Mo curiously asked.


    "You may call me Houxiu." The Son Of Heaven slightly smiled.


    The feeling that the girl gave Chen Mo was extremely tranquil. To be able to chat calmly with a man she did not know whilst bathing, he could not help but admit that her disposition had one him over.


    "Your Highness Son Of Heaven." Chen Mo respectfully said.


    "The White Tiger is a Holy Beast Of Heaven. That it fell into the Martial Emperor''s hands and wreaked havoc upon the people, Xiu could not bear it. But constrained by my position, I was unable to intervene. This time, it is all thanks to Young Lord Chen Mo for helping the White Tiger break free." Liu Xiu softly said.


    Chen Mo understood. Star Mansion Pce, Son Of Heaven, no wonder she had such thoughts.<ol><li> , part of the Chinese constetion known as "the Stomach." </li><li> This sentence was very confusing. I think author intends to say that she is not a loliI hope. </li></ol>
