Chapter 24: The Pretty Boy Takes a Bath
"Updated four chapters today, recommended, thanks."
On the eighteenth day, under Nan Shu's helpless gaze, Lu Shaoyou persisted for an hour before struggling to get up from the ground with a swollen nose and face, proudly saying: "Old man, it's been an hour, didn't I pass?"
"Hmph." Old servant Nan Shu glared at Lu Shaoyou and immediately said bluntly, "Tomorrow's training will be intensified."
Lu Shao heard this and immediately fell to the ground, thinking in his heart that this was indeed a case of being outdone by others.
Around the fifth watch, dragging his tired body, Lu Shao Yu returned to his room with joy in his heart. According to Nan Shu's original estimate, he would only be able to persist for an hour a month later, but he had completed it in eighteen days. It seemed that he was still a promising talent after all.
He poured a basin of water, dropped in a washing pellet, and Lu Shao-yu immediately stripped off his clothes and continued to soak in the basin. He felt a warm water temperature wrapping around his entire body, which was full of bruises, and then that familiar numbness and tingling sensation instantly spread all over his skin.
"It feels so comfortable." Lu Shaoyou closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the medicinal power of the Marrow Washing Pill was seeping into his body through his skin pores, nourishing his muscles and bones.
In this way, Lu Shaoyou closed his eyes and lay down in the wooden tub, motionless, allowing his body to relax completely. In this comfortable state, Lu Shaoyou continued to sleep soundly.
"Less travel..."
At dawn, Luo Lan called out to Lu Shao twice in the small hall of the courtyard. Seeing no one respond, she smiled slightly and left the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, a slender figure slowly emerged. It was Lu Wushuang. Today's Lu Wushuang wore a pale red tight-fitting long dress that clung tightly to her stunning physique, losing some elegance but gaining a few more flirtatious flavors.
The chest has a subtle curve, vaguely visible is a pair of breasts that seem to be flying, slender waist and long legs, tall and slender, matching the exquisite facial features, bright and clear big eyes, the whole person is shrouded in an atmosphere of quietness, purity, and soft beauty.
Lotus steps lightly moved, Lu Wushuang also held a food basket in her hand at this time, hot air steaming, fragrance hitting the nose, it should be a rich breakfast.
"Shao You." Lu Wushuang walked into the courtyard, called out twice, and seeing no one respond, put down the food basket and arrived at Lu Shao You's room.
"Knock knock......"
"Shǎo yóu." Knocking gently on the door, Lù Wú Shuāng called out again twice. Seeing no one respond, her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed as she muttered to herself: "Could it be that he's already gone out so early?"
Lu Shaoyou was too tired, lying in the wooden tub, and didn't even notice someone had arrived outside the room. It was also because he believed no one would casually come to the courtyard that he was completely unaware. If Lu Shaoyou had been more vigilant, with his current cultivation level, he would have known if someone had approached the courtyard.
"Shao You!" he shouted again, but Lu Wushuang's expression became somewhat disappointed. He had originally planned to bring breakfast to Lu Shao You, but now that the person was not there, his heart felt a bit dazed.
Ever since the last time in the backyard, the image of her younger cousin, who had been awkward in her mind since childhood, was completely different, even the smile on his face was no longer the same. Lu Wushuang couldn't help but feel curious about this cousin in her heart, and whenever she had time, she wanted to come and take a look.
"Ka-chunk..." The door creaked open and Lu Wushuang unknowingly stepped back from the doorway.
In an instant, what appeared before Lu Wushuang's eyes was a beautiful man bathing, with his sturdy chest muscles, broad shoulders, smooth abdomen, and masculine features all clearly visible to her.
All of this made Lu Wushuang suddenly stunned, staring at this scene without blinking, as if frightened.
Lu Shao woke up to the sound of the door and opened his eyes, only to see Lu Wushuang standing in his room, her bright eyes fixed intently on his body.
"I called you to have breakfast, I thought you weren't here, so..." Lu Wushuang didn't shout loudly, and when she met Lu Shaoyou's gaze, she came back to her senses. Before she could finish speaking, her delicate face had already turned red like a ripe peach, and she hastily left Lu Shaoyou's room.
"I was peeked at." Lu Shaoyou also stunned for a moment, then hastily jumped out of the water basin and put on his clothes. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the small hall.
In the small hall, Lu Shao Yu saw that Lu Wu Shuang was lowering her head and blushing as she brought the breakfast from the kitchen to the table, not daring to lift her head even once.
"Have breakfast." Feeling Lu Shao coming over, Lu Wushuang said softly, at this time she didn't dare to look at Lu Shao's eyes, her heart was pounding.
"Oh." Lu Shao Yu also felt a bit awkward, although he said he was from his past life, this awkwardness was unavoidable. After sitting down, he lowered his head and ate, the delicious food at this moment didn't have any special taste in his mouth.
The two sat opposite each other, neither of them speaking. Lu Shao Yu occasionally stole glances at Lu Wu Shuang, who kept her head down, her face red all the way to her neck, eating with her head lowered, probably also absent-minded.
"Peerless sister, I've finished eating." After a moment, Lu Shaoyou was the first to break the awkwardness between them.
"I've finished eating too, I'll clean up then." Lu Wushuang got up with her head down and started cleaning.
"I still have something to do, I'll leave first." The awkward atmosphere made Lu Shaoyou feel a bit unnatural, so he took the opportunity to leave, smiling wryly to himself. In his heart, he was also thinking that it wasn't a big deal, after all, they had just taken a look at each other.
"I...what to do..." Gazing at Lu Shao's back, Lu Wushuang's face turned red, and a few hints of shyness appeared on her face. Growing up like this, she had never seen such a scene before.
After leaving the courtyard, Lu Shaoyou once again entered the back mountain. Today's task was to refine the Guanding Dan. Since his last failure, Lu Shaoyou had not failed again and now he could refine one Guanding Dan at a time.
Today, by the time it was almost night, Lu Shaoyou unexpectedly performed exceptionally and refined four Ancestral Spirit Pills, which made Lu Shaoyou's mood extremely good.
In the process of refining Dan medicine, Lu Shao-yu also found that he was becoming more and more familiar with his control over spiritual power. At the same time, spiritual power in this process has also become more condensed.
After leaving the mountain, Lu Shaoyou was going to prepare for another session of closed-door training and suffering. This period of time had been very fulfilling for him, and he was also enjoying himself. Such an opportunity was something that others couldn't even ask for.
Time passed slowly in such days, and it's worth mentioning that during this period, Lu Xiaobai came to find Lu Shaoyou much less often, almost without time to find Lu Xiaobai. After finishing work every day, Lu Xiaobai still had to find a place to secretly practice the Huo Lang Jue.
On the ninth day, Lu Xiaobai came to find Lu Shaoyou once. At that time, Lu Xiaobai had already successfully cultivated the Huo Lang Jue, but it was still early days before he could become a formal warrior.
In the following period, Lu Shaoyou went to Tianbao Gate three more times. Each time, he took out a dozen or so top-grade elixirs. Now, Tianbao Gate's top-grade elixirs are in short supply. Some families bought them for their young disciples, and after taking them, the effect was excellent, so they came again to buy more.
On the thirtieth day, in the afternoon, on the back mountain, where Lu Shao-yu often refined his elixirs, Lu Shao-yu sat cross-legged on the ground. At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Lu Shao-yu's face. Today, he had come to challenge the Warrior level. In the Martial Disciple level, he was already at the same level as the Spiritual Disciples, and had reached the peak of the Ninth Layer.
But today, Lu Shaoyou was ready to break through Lingwu at the same time. This time, Lu Shaoyou was very confident in his heart, and on this mountain, he shouldn't be disturbed by anyone along the way.
