Volume 2, Chapter 109 – Foot Washing

“…” Qu Qingtang pressed her lips together slightly, and the color in her eyes seemed to dim considerably in this moment.

Her slender jade fingers anxiously twisted together before her chest.

Lu Zhuxin felt like she was seeing a ghost. She could actually read a somewhat aggrieved expression on this woman’s face.

Sister! What’s wrong with you!

This is my room, isn’t it!

What kind of proper woman doesn’t sleep at night and runs to someone else’s room to play ghost?

Dressed so scantily, whose soul are you trying to steal?

I’m the one who should feel aggrieved here. Why are you acting wronged?

“Little fox… Qingtang hasn’t said anything yet.” Qu Qingtang stood by the bed, her tone dejected and pitiful.

Lu Zhuxin raised an eyebrow.

This woman couldn’t possibly think that playing pitiful would gain her sympathy, could she?

That trick won’t work on her, sister.

“What exactly do you want, Qu Qingtang?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

“Qingtang only wishes to fulfill the duties of a personal maidservant,” Qu Qingtang said.

“Little fox, please let Qingtang serve you in washing and bathing.”

Lu Zhuxin raised her hand to her forehead. “I don’t need…”

Qu Qingtang blinked. “Little fox, don’t you wash your feet before sleeping?”

A black line appeared on Lu Zhuxin’s forehead.

Who doesn’t wash their feet before sleeping!

Eighth Realm powerhouses had long since purged all impurities from their bodies, their forms clean and spotless.

Moreover, with spiritual power circulating, the body was self-cleaning, so there was no need for deliberate bathing and washing.

However, as a transmigrator, Lu Zhuxin still retained the habit of bathing and washing.

But today, her lazy tendencies had flared up, and she wanted to slack off for a day.

As a result, Qu Qingtang caught her.

Although even without washing her feet, this body would remain clean.

After Qu Qingtang pointed out that she hadn’t washed her feet today, Lu Zhuxin felt uncomfortable all over.

“The Immortal Venerable is joking again,” Lu Zhuxin said. “Has the Immortal Venerable forgotten that Eighth Realm cultivators have long transcended the mundane and don’t need to bathe and cleanse like mortals?”

After saying this, Lu Zhuxin thought of a good idea.

Since this woman so wanted to be her maidservant, why not let her have her wish just this once?

Thinking this, the corners of Lu Zhuxin’s mouth curved into a slight arc. She raised her head slightly, looking at Qu Qingtang’s stunning face.

“However, since the Immortal Venerable has such a peculiar preference, what harm is there in satisfying you once?”

Lu Zhuxin sat on the edge of the bed and raised her fair little feet. Supporting her chin with her hand, she smiled brilliantly.

“Immortal Venerable, come wash my feet.”

Having a Venerable Saint wash her feet, wouldn’t Lu Zhuxin be the first person in this small world, both past and present, to achieve this?

Moreover, Lu Zhuxin could make this woman of noble status back down in difficulty.

Would a Venerable Saint willingly become a foot-washing servant for a fox demon?

Their eyes met.

Qu Qingtang lowered her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over Lu Zhuxin’s raised little feet. She fell into brief silence.

The arc at the corner of Lu Zhuxin’s mouth curved up again.

“System! See, what did I tell you? This woman is just insincere!”

“She says with her mouth that she wants to be my maidservant, but now when I ask her to help me wash my feet, she’s unwilling.”

“Just watch! Soon she’ll reveal her true colors!”

[Oh, is that so.]

The system’s response was flat.

Lu Zhuxin felt triumphant.

“Immortal Venerable Qu, these feet of mine have been covered in shoes for several months now. They really should be washed.”

Lu Zhuxin raised her feet and wiggled her toes at Qu Qingtang.

“If the Immortal Venerable wants to fulfill her promise as a maidservant, start by washing my feet clean.”

Lu Zhuxin had been preparing to burrow directly into bed to sleep earlier, so as soon as she touched the bed, she had removed her shoes and socks.

Naturally, she now had a pair of delicate little bare feet.

The body that Ming Zhaoxi had prepared for Lu Zhuxin was undoubtedly perfect.

Even a pair of jade feet possessed extreme beauty.

The foot’s curves were naturally graceful, the toe shape proper.

The skin, hidden year-round in shoes and socks away from sunlight, was fair and smooth, delicate and even, with a faint tinge of pink.

The toes curled up playfully, and through the moon-white nails, one could see the fleshy pink beneath.

And now, this pair of small, exquisite feet swayed before Qu Qingtang’s eyes.

“Does the Immortal Venerable feel that I’m humiliating you?” Lu Zhuxin chuckled lightly. “If you’re unwilling, you may leave now.”

Hurry up and leave! Hurry up and leave!

You’re an Immortal Venerable of a Sword Sect. You wouldn’t really lower yourself to wash a fox demon’s feet, would you?

“Little fox.” Qu Qingtang’s eyes finally moved from Lu Zhuxin’s feet. “Do you prefer the water temperature cooler or hotter?”

“Eh?” Lu Zhuxin’s fox head tilted slightly.

Sister? You’re serious?

Rеaⅾ oո ΚаtRеaⅾіոgСαfe

While Lu Zhuxin hesitated, Qu Qingtang had already produced a basin of water from some spatial pocket and placed it before Lu Zhuxin.

“Little fox, try the water and see if it’s suitable.”

Lu Zhuxin unconsciously put her feet in.

It was quite suitable.

Even boiling water couldn’t scald an Eighth Realm cultivator’s body.

But Lu Zhuxin was essentially still an ordinary person who preferred normal human temperatures.

“Qu Qingtang… you…” Lu Zhuxin’s eyebrows raised slightly.

Before Lu Zhuxin could finish speaking, Qu Qingtang had already crouched down before her.

She reached out and cupped Lu Zhuxin’s feet.

Lu Zhuxin could feel a strange sensation spreading beneath her feet.

Those slender jade fingers were slowly brushing over every inch of skin on Lu Zhuxin’s feet.

Qu Qingtang earnestly washed Lu Zhuxin’s feet. Her gentle and meticulous manner was so focused, as if she were cleaning a rare jade carving.

Her soft fingertips didn’t miss any inch of skin on her feet.

Qu Qingtang seemed to deliberately slow down her pace, which allowed Lu Zhuxin to clearly distinguish between the temperature of the water and the temperature of Qu Qingtang’s fingertips.

This woman… this Immortal Venerable of Lingxiao Sword Sect, was truly lowering her head before Lu Zhuxin to wash her feet.

Lu Zhuxin frowned slightly.

However, it was just washing feet. She seemed to be a bit too meticulous.

Lu Zhuxin felt they were already very clean, yet Qu Qingtang continued to gently caress them with her fingers over and over, rubbing back and forth.

This made Lu Zhuxin feel somewhat strange.

“Qu Qingtang, why so slow? A dignified Immortal Venerable doesn’t even know how to wash feet?”

Hearing this, Qu Qingtang’s fingers supported Lu Zhuxin’s sole and lifted her feet from the water.

Then she used spiritual power to dry the water from Lu Zhuxin’s feet.

“Is this acceptable?” Qu Qingtang raised her head, looking at Lu Zhuxin.

Their eyes met.

Lu Zhuxin didn’t see anything unusual in Qu Qingtang’s eyes.

No anger at being degraded, no fury at being insulted.

She was very calm.

Even those autumn water eyes carried a faint tenderness.

Eh! This is absurd.

What’s with this woman?

Still pretending?

What could she possibly be after to go this far?

Could she not see that making her wash feet was deliberately degrading her?

Lu Zhuxin supported her chin, looking puzzled.

Or perhaps, just washing feet wasn’t enough to make this woman of noble status back down in difficulty?

Then? Give her something fiercer?

Lu Zhuxin exerted slight force and pulled her feet back from Qu Qingtang’s hands.

Then she lightly raised her toes.

Qu Qingtang, crouching on the ground, had her chin hooked by Lu Zhuxin’s toes.

Lu Zhuxin curved her lips in a light smile. “Immortal Venerable, it seems the top of my feet aren’t quite clean yet.”

“Can you lick them clean for me like a little dog?”
