Volume 3, Chapter 200 – Helping Her Bathe

“I didn’t mean it that way…” Chi Xiyan said subconsciously.

Before this, she truly hadn’t had that concept in her mind.

They were both girls, possessing the same physical characteristics. There was nothing to avoid.

Chi Xiyan also couldn’t understand what kind of feeling it was to like another girl.

“Heh…” Lu Zhuxin laughed lightly.

“If it’s not because of that, then Sister is the same as those people.”

The girl’s voice gradually became suppressed.

“In Sister’s eyes, am I also a demoness who violates human morality, defies convention, and knows no shame?”

“No… I don’t mean that either…” Chi Xiyan shook her head repeatedly.

“Then, Sister…” Lu Zhuxin said softly.

She moved her steps in the water, her fair calves rippling the pool.

She slowly drew closer to Chi Xiyan.

“Why won’t you even touch me?”

Looking at the girl before her without clothes, head slightly raised, Chi Xiyan inexplicably felt her breathing becoming somewhat out of control.

Too close!

Chi Xiyan wasn’t used to being this close to others.

Earlier, when she had carried this girl back, they had still had the barrier of clothing between them.

But now, the girl before her had removed her garments and stood completely bare before Chi Xiyan.

Chi Xiyan didn’t have the habit of staring at bodies of the same sex.

So when the girl before her approached, Chi Xiyan instinctively stepped back.

“Zhizhi, don’t do this.” Chi Xiyan turned her head slightly, moving her gaze away from the girl before her.

“Sister, am I some kind of terrifying beast to you?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

Chi Xiyan moved her feet in the water, her gaze evasive. “I should still go call the maids.”

After speaking, she turned to leave.

“Sister, don’t go!” The girl reached out, wanting to grab her.

But this simple motion of raising her hand immediately brought a trace of pain to her face.

She sucked in a breath of cool air.

“ Hiss … it hurts…”

Chi Xiyan heard her voice full of pain. She immediately turned her head, then saw a trace of fresh blood seeping from the girl’s neck again.

A drop of crimson blood followed her fair collarbone, slowly sliding down.

“Stop fooling around, Zhizhi!” Chi Xiyan furrowed her brows. She gently pressed Lu Zhuxin’s hand down. “If you keep causing trouble, your wound will tear open again!”

Lu Zhuxin said, “Even if the wound tears open several more times, I don’t want Sister to look at me with that kind of strange gaze…”

“I did once like a girl. But that’s already in the past…”

Lu Zhuxin lowered her head slightly.

“The current me won’t have those kinds of thoughts anymore.”

“Sister, I don’t want to become something different in your eyes.”

“Besides Sister, I have no one else to rely on.”

“Don’t look at me with that kind of gaze anymore… okay?”

Chi Xiyan smiled bitterly and helplessly. “Alright, stop talking.”

“Zhizhi.”

“What you need to do now is heal your wound properly.”

“The wound on your neck needs to be medicated again…”

While speaking, Chi Xiyan reached out her hand. Pure white spiritual power wrapped around her fingertips as she gently passed her fingertip over the girl’s wound.

Gentle spiritual power seeped into the girl’s skin, re-sealing the wound that had been lightly torn.

Yu Lizhi was an ordinary person without cultivation, unable to absorb spiritual energy.

If too much spiritual power was injected into her, it would instead worsen the wound.

The spiritual power just released was already the limit this girl could absorb.

After Chi Xiyan simply reapplied ointment to treat the girl, she asked again, “How about now? Does the wound still hurt?”

Lu Zhuxin answered honestly, “It doesn’t hurt anymore, Sister.”

“ Sigh …” Chi Xiyan looked at the girl before her and sighed softly.

The girl stood timidly in the pool water, somewhat at a loss.

The surrounding pool water slowly rippled with shimmering light.

“Sister, I’m sorry. I said some things to Sister I shouldn’t have said…”

“I was inconsiderate. Even as sisters, we should maintain some proper distance…”

The girl retreated half a step timidly.

“Sister, you should leave.”

“I can do it myself.”

Chi Xiyan looked at the girl’s half-step retreat, her gaze somewhat complex.

A trace of struggle showed in the depths of her eyes.

“ Sigh …” Chi Xiyan said helplessly. “Perhaps this is Heaven’s will…”

This girl was brought back by Chi Xiyan, and it was also because of Chi Xiyan that she ended up like this.

If not for Chi Xiyan, this girl wouldn’t have encountered these matters.

Speaking from the heart, the girl’s request wasn’t too excessive. For ordinary people, it was merely a simple task.

It was Chi Xiyan herself who had problems.

She smiled bitterly.

“Zhizhi, your wound can’t receive any more external force… You’re not a cultivator. Serious external injuries can easily leave hidden ailments. I’m not joking with you.”

“So…” Lu Zhuxin pressed her lips lightly. “What does Sister want to do?”

“I… I…” Chi Xiyan’s words were slow.

This scene inexplicably reminded her of when she and Yu Lizhi had pretended to be a married couple at Lin Family Manor. It was similarly difficult to speak.

However, Chi Xiyan ultimately gathered her courage to speak.

“…I’ll help you then, Zhizhi.”

Lu Zhuxin raised her head, a sweet smile blooming on her face. “Thank you, Sister!”

Seeing the sweet little smile on the girl’s face, Chi Xiyan felt the resistance and hesitation in her heart seemed to dissipate considerably.

The medicinal materials Chi Xiyan had prepared earlier had been knocked over, and an entire tray had fallen into the pool.

However, these materials were originally intended for preparing bath medicine for Yu Lizhi.

Now it was just missing some steps.

The bath liquid’s effectiveness wouldn’t be much worse than before.

Considering that Yu Lizhi was an ordinary person unable to absorb spiritual energy, Chi Xiyan originally hadn’t used any rare materials anyway.

Chi Xiyan fetched a soft towel.

“Sister, should I turn around?” Lu Zhuxin said.

“No need. Just stay as you are.” Chi Xiyan said.

The pool water wasn’t very deep, just reaching past Lu Zhuxin’s waist.

Chi Xiyan circled behind the girl.

After making up her mind, she gently used the towel to help wash her body.

The girl’s body was even fairer and more delicate than she had imagined.

This close, Chi Xiyan could clearly smell the girl’s body fragrance.

Very fragrant, very sweet.

The essence of this scent was as sweet as its owner.

Chi Xiyan wiped very carefully, very cautiously.

Lu Zhuxin could feel that the movements of the person behind her were extremely stiff.

When had the pampered eldest young lady ever done such chores that only maids did?

However, for a first time, this was done quite well.

“Sister is really very gentle.” Lu Zhuxin said softly.

“If back then, the person I had met was Sister, perhaps those later encounters wouldn’t have happened…”

Hearing this, Chi Xiyan’s movements froze slightly.
