Volume 2, Chapter 17 – The Noisy Bathhouse and Ailiya’s Overbearing Behavior

“Wow, what on earth did you two do? Why are you so dirty?”

“We were playing with Octopus Girl~”

“Lingxi?”

“What were you playing? How did you get so dirty?”

“It was fun! Too bad Octopus Girl kept resisting, otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten so dirty.”

“Huh?”

“Hey! Miya! Weiya, stop running around! Come here and let me wash your hair!”

“Don’t pull on Mom’s towel!”

“You brats, stop throwing soap around!”

“Stop messing around……………… Mom’s trying to wash your feet.”

“Wuwuwu, stop being so naughty, okay? (QAQ)”

After a full hour of chaos, the noisy bathroom finally quieted down a bit.

At the moment,

The bathroom was filled with warm steam, and the air was thick with the scent of shower gel, as if a thin veil had been draped over the entire space.

As the initiator of this bathing session, our Bai Lianyue stood by the sink, wrapped in a pure white towel.

Her wet blue hair clung to her fair shoulders, and water droplets slid down her smooth skin.

The edges of the towel gently hugged Bai Lianyue’s delicate curves, accentuating her slender waist and long legs.

The top of the towel was slightly loose, revealing a glimpse of the Terran Malevolence’s collarbone and a hint of her alluring figure, enough to spark anyone’s imagination.

At the moment, Bai Lianyue was slowly picking up a towel that had fallen earlier. As she bent over, the hem of the towel lifted slightly, fully exposing her long, well-proportioned legs, their lines as smooth as a carefully crafted work of art.

Paired with the girl’s stunning face, it was like a scene of a lotus emerging from the water…………………

Of course, it would have been even more perfect if the girl’s left hand and feet weren’t wrapped in bandages…………… and if her expression wasn’t so exhausted.

As for why she was exhausted?

You’d have to ask the twins, the culprits behind it all~

Sitting on a nearby chair, watching the twins continue to play with rubber ducks and splash water at each other in the hot tub, Bai Lianyue let out a tired sigh.

“Whew~”

I remember when Ailiya was around ten, she was so well-behaved and sensible…………… Why are these two so mischievous?

Getting themselves dirty is one thing,

But they’re so rowdy during bath time too.

If it weren’t for the fact that the twins were exhausted from all the running around………… I don’t know how much longer this bath would have taken.

Enmm,

I really don’t know how Ailiya usually bathes these two little troublemakers…………………

Just then, as if reading Bai Lianyue’s thoughts, a melodious chuckle drifted into her ears.

—“I think it’s because they’re so excited to take a bath with Mom that Miya and Weiya are being so noisy.”—

“Enmm, alright.”

Considering that lately, due to concerns about her unstable condition possibly scaring the little ones, Bai Lianyue hadn’t been spending as much time with them as before, she reluctantly nodded.

However, after a slight nod, the Terran Malevolence couldn’t help but glance to the side in confusion.

“Then, what about you?”

At the moment,

A slender, beautiful silver-haired girl was sitting beside her, smiling as she looked at her. Most importantly, the girl was completely naked, with only a thin towel covering her chest and lower body……………

Though it didn’t really cover much……………

Regardless, the semi-revealed state of her private areas, combined with the silver-haired girl’s deliberately seductive pose, exuded an undeniable allure.

Unfortunately,

Bai Lianyue didn’t seem to feel anything.

Although Ailiya’s figure was indeed quite enchanting, how could Bai Lianyue, as a mother, possibly have any reaction to her daughter’s body?

The Terran Malevolence just muttered in confusion:

“I’m helping your sisters bathe. Why did you come in too, Ailiya?”

Seeing Bai Lianyue’s calm response, with barely any emotional fluctuation, Ailiya, who had been smiling, couldn’t help but bite her lip. A faint trace of displeasure flashed in her cherry-colored eyes.

After taking a deep breath, Ailiya regained her usual smile and replied matter-of-factly:

“Of course, I’m here to bathe too~”

“Uh, then… go ahead?”

As she spoke, a confused Bai Lianyue picked up a sponge and handed it to Ailiya.

But clearly, this wasn’t what the silver-haired girl wanted.

Facing the sponge right in front of her, Ailiya shook her head and, for once, used a petulant tone.

“No, I want Mom to bathe me~”

“Huh? Me?”

Bai Lianyue pointed at herself in surprise.

“You’re already so old. Why do you still need me to bathe you?”

“I don’t care! It’s been so long since I’ve bathed with Mom…………… You’re helping the twins bathe, so why not me?”

“……”

Seeing Bai Lianyue still hesitating, Ailiya lowered her head and said tiredly:

“I’ve been training hard all day too. And usually, I’m the one who bathes Miya and Weiya…………… Can’t Mom cut me some slack this time and help me bathe?”

Blinking her large, watery eyes, Ailiya put on a pitiful expression.

“Mom doesn’t need to worry. I’ll be good and cooperate. I won’t mess around like Miya and Weiya. Okay?”

“Enmm……”

Seeing this, after a few seconds of hesitation, Bai Lianyue reluctantly nodded. With her daughter pleading like this, Bai Lianyue found it hard to refuse.

“Alright.”

As soon as she said this, Ailiya, who had been looking dejected just a moment ago, immediately lit up with joy.

“Hehe, I knew Mom loves me the most.”

As she spoke, the silver-haired girl turned around, lifted her hair, and fully exposed her jade-like back. The lines of her back were elegant, her shoulder blades slightly raised like butterfly wings, and her skin was fair and delicate, as if it could be broken with a touch. Water droplets slid down her spine, tracing a seductive curve.

“Mom, can you scrub my back first?” the girl asked in an inviting tone.

To this, Bai Lianyue nodded slightly.

“Okay.”

Then, the Terran Malevolence picked up a soft sponge, gently dipped it into the warm water, and carefully pressed it against Ailiya’s shoulders, slowly sliding it downward with gentle and meticulous movements.

“Is the water temperature okay?” Bai Lianyue asked softly, her voice tinged with concern.

“Mhm, it’s very comfortable.” Ailiya closed her eyes slightly, feeling the sponge glide over her back and the subtle sensation of Bai Lianyue’s fingers touching her skin. The silver-haired girl couldn’t help but smile with contentment and a hint of triumph.

For a moment,

The bathroom was filled with a rare sense of warmth.

Just as Bai Lianyue was scrubbing Ailiya’s back, the twins, who had been playing in the water, noticed the commotion by the tub and eagerly climbed out, happily making their way over to Bai Lianyue.

The twins sat on either side of her, playing with Bai Lianyue’s hair.

“What’s Mom doing?” Miya asked curiously.

“Helping your sister scrub her back. Be good………… don’t mess around.”

“Oh, okay.”

Seemingly because Ailiya was there, the little girl obediently nodded for once. However, while playing with Bai Lianyue’s hair, Miya couldn’t help but notice the special collar around Bai Lianyue’s swan-like neck.

“Huh? What’s this?”

Miya curiously reached out her little hand, as if wanting to touch the accessory embedded with a bright red gemstone.

However, just then, Ailiya suddenly spoke up:

“Miya, don’t touch that. It’s very dangerous~”

“Huh?”

Although usually unruly, upon hearing her sister’s words, Miya immediately retracted her hand.

Meanwhile, Weiya asked curiously:

“Dangerous?”

“Yes.”

Ailiya, who was still enjoying Bai Lianyue’s “service,” nodded slowly:

“If that thing is removed, Mom will become very scary~”

“Scary?”

“Mhm.”

Glancing sideways, the silver-haired girl couldn’t help but thoughtfully look at Bai Lianyue’s collar.

“So Miya and Weiya, remember… never mess with that thing, okay~”

“Huh?”

After exchanging glances, the twins obediently nodded:

“We understand, Sister Ailiya.” X2
