Chapter 390: 391: This Bathhouse is Really Big, Really White
A group of cultivators followed their way upstairs in the small shop, thinking since they were there, they might as well take a good look around to see what exactly the big shot’s shop was dealing in.
After reaching the second floor, all of the cultivators were stunned by the sight before them.
What lay before them was a huge pool, with the partitions in the middle all demolished, leaving only a massive bathhouse steaming with hot vapors.
This second-floor Tangneng First-class was actually a bathhouse!
“Young Master Li is a senior figure, how could he run such a vulgar place?”
“Indeed, we cultivators are full of passion, how can we patronize such a place of pleasures? It’s simply wearing down our willpower!”
“Young Master Li’s action is really unbecoming of his status; such places as bathhouses belong in the uncivilized, Barbaric Lands of the mundane world. Erecting such a structure in the Cultivation World is truly damaging to public morals!”
“That’s right, although this place was built by Young Master Li, I, Wang Jingze, would rather be dirty to death, despised by people, and pointed at by thousands, than touch a single drop of water from this bathhouse!”
After the initial shock, the brows of the cultivators furrowed sharply.
They never would have imagined that a big shot would build such a lowly place as a bathhouse. Those who practice cultivation value integrity the most. How could they strip to the waist in public?
What’s the difference between them and the women of brothels then?
It wasn’t just the male cultivators; even the few female cultivators furrowed their brows slightly, truly unable to comprehend Li Xiaobai’s move.
“To think that the big shot actually has such a taste, could it be that we have misjudged him?”
“Alas, a big shot is still a big shot, though he has some minor hobbies, it doesn’t tarnish his grace. After leaving here, we must remember to keep this secret for the big shot, we must not let his reputation be harmed!”
The cultivators sighed, as the perfect image of Li Xiaobai in their minds shattered.
“Welcome to our humble shop, please come in, everyone.”
Just then, a bell-like laughter rang out, and Yang Huan walked over with graceful steps.
The male cultivators’ eyes were all transfixed because Yang Huan was wearing a bathrobe.
Shoulders and legs revealed, emitting a soft mist, like a lotus just emerging from water.
These cultivators, who had been battling on the fields, had never seen such a scene before. They all swallowed hard, their eyes restless, wanting to take more glances at Yang Huan, yet constrained by their own moral cultivation, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
Especially with Yang Huan’s icy demeanor, when she didn’t speak, she was the epitome of a lady, firmly capturing the hearts of men.
“Cough cough, gentlemen, I suddenly feel that there must be profound reasons for Young Master Li to establish such a bathhouse!”
“Indeed, Young Master Li is a respected senior figure, how could he possibly set up such a large shop just for some small hobby? There must be a story we are unaware of.”
“Frankly, this bathhouse actually feels quite nice; I want to give it a try.”
“Hehe, I’d also like to try it out.”
The male cultivators were blushing, and though they seemed excited, they were somewhat hesitant; after all, there were quite a few female cultivators present, and entering the pool would mean taking off their outerwear.
They had never experienced such things and found it hard to let go.
Young Master Li really should have mentioned such a benefit earlier so they could have been mentally prepared.
“Gentlemen, the second-floor bathhouse is open to male cultivators. To soak for an hour, a fee of ten superior Spirit Stones is required.”
“How long do you gentlemen wish to bathe for?”
Yang Huan still had a smiling demeanor, that delicate and frail voice almost melting the cultivators.
All the male cultivators said in unison, “All day!”
“Pah, you lecherous rogues!”
“Dressing so revealingly, why don’t you just go to a brothel!”
The female cultivators looked sullen, their eyes filled with hostility towards Yang Huan.
In their view, this woman was just here to flirt and show off, and these men were just as disheartening, drooling over a mere girl who had nothing special to offer. Was she really worth that pig-like ogling?
Didn’t they know their figures were countless times more voluptuous than this little girl’s?
They were simply blind!
But at that moment, another clear voice rang out.
“Are the sisters here for a bath? The third floor is dedicated to the female cultivators’ bathhouse, please head upwards.”
The speaker was Zhang Xiuning, who was also draped in a bathrobe, with drops of glistening water rolling down his hair strands, adding to his soft and delicately handsome face, which created an eerily enchanting appearance.
“Oh oh…”
“Alright…”
The female cultivators found themselves unable to move, captivated by the handsomeness of the man in front of them. Though he might be lacking in cultivation level, he was strikingly handsome!
His beauty was soft yet carried a three-part cool detachment within his melancholic gaze along with a touch of resentment.
The well-defined contours of his face made that softness masculine as well, and the way he addressed them as ‘sisters’ nearly melted their hearts.
How could there be such a beautiful youth in this border region? What had they been doing all these years, that they had never discovered such a stunning beauty?
“The third-floor bathhouse requires eight superior Spirit Stones for two hours, how long would the sisters like to soak?”
Zhang Xiuning asked with a slight smile.
“All day!”
A few female cultivators, their cheeks flushed, said in unison.
“Please follow me, the sisters’ skin is so well-maintained. I believe after the bath, it will become even more radiant and translucent.”
As Zhang Xiuning led the way, he showered them with compliments, parroting phrases taught by Li Xiaobai, simply putting on a smiling face and reciting his lines.
This tactic was infinitely potent against women, leaving the female cultivators excitedly whispering among themselves, thrilled to bits.
They hopped and skipped after him like a flock of excited sparrows.
The male cultivators watched, dumbstruck. In this day and age, being handsome really did allow you to do whatever you wanted!
The female cultivators, who had just been as resentful as scorned women, were now beaming so wide that they couldn’t even close their mouths.
The change was too drastic, like flipping a switch in a second.
“Let’s ignore them and just enjoy our bath.”
The male cultivators were too shy to undress and enter the pool, so one by one, they simply took off their shoes and lay down in the bathhouse with their clothes still on.
And you know what? The water was quite warm.
“Hehe, brother, do you see the deeper meaning behind this bathhouse?”
A cultivator asked mysteriously.
“Oh? Do enlighten me.”
“This is Young Master Li’s consideration for us border cultivators. As they say, rain after a long drought; we’re like travelers in the desert, and Tangneng First-class is set up to soothe our restless hearts. Truly, Young Master Li is a divine being!”
“Brother, now that you mention it, I’ve also noticed. This pool is so big, so white, so long!”
“Hehehe, I never expected that you too were a man of sentiment. Truly a role model for our kind!”
“I am unworthy, I am unworthy…”
