Bai Ze emerged, still damp from the water, and seeing Mo Shou standing by the fire, asked, "Do you want to take a bath?"

Mo gave a soft "hmm".

Bai Ze said with concern, "It's best not to get the wound on your hand wet today."

Mo lowered his gaze to the ground: "It's nothing."

"How about we wash it tomorrow?" Bai Ze moved closer.

"I sweated today and feel uncomfortable."

When Bai Ze's gaze fell on the porcupine meat on the shelf in the storage room, the image of Mo fighting with the porcupine involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Porcupines are so dangerous, but Mo disregarded his own safety and eventually caught one so that they could have meat to eat.

How magnificent!

Bai Ze became increasingly moved as he thought about it. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and asked, "How about I give you a quick wash?"

Mo looked up, a hint of hesitation on his face: "Are you... available?"

Bai Ze nodded without any hesitation, and even took the initiative to say, fearing that he would feel embarrassed, "It's okay, we're just helping each other out."

"Thank you for your trouble." Mo immediately stood up, went back into the cave, picked out a small piece of animal hide, and planned to wrap it around himself after taking a bath.

Bai Ze had already poured the water, and steam was rising from the stone basin.

He went out to retrieve a dry animal skin towel, and when he came back in, Mo had already taken off all his clothes and was standing naked by the basin, quietly waiting for him.

A completely naked body suddenly came into view, and Bai Ze blushed, unconsciously overreacting.

Mo looked at him, her tone unusually natural: "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing," Bai Ze kept reassuring himself.

Mo Shou is injured and it's inconvenient for him to do good deeds, which will bring him longevity!

Then, taking a deep breath, she walked firmly toward Mo.

In the hazy mist, Mo's handsome face stood out, as if by magic. No matter how hard Bai Ze tried to restrain himself, he couldn't help but look at Mo's face.

Helpless, he forced himself to lower his head, but the next second, he froze completely...

It still comes down to looks.

Otherwise, I'll always feel like a pervert.

"Can we begin?" Mo Zhishen followed Bai Ze's advice strictly, making sure not to let a single drop of water touch the wound.

"Oh, okay." Bai Ze bent down, soaked the animal hide in hot water, wrung it out slightly, and then covered Mo's shoulders and back.

Mo's back muscles were beautifully defined, and his shoulder blades resembled folded wings. Water droplets slid down his pale skin, following the grooves of his spine, and the moisture gradually spread to his waist.

Bai Ze kept his eyes straight ahead, working diligently and meticulously, his technique for wiping the ink was comparable to that of a hospital caregiver—both careful and efficient.

But although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually panicking inside. Bai Ze felt that there was something wrong with his thinking; his mind had been in chaos ever since he stepped into the bathroom.

"Shhh..."

The ink that had been constantly being wiped from his back finally couldn't help but turn his head and say, "The back should be okay now."

"Oh, okay." Bai Ze really didn't want to escape his "safe zone" and face Mo.

But seeing that Mo's back was red from being rubbed, he could only console himself with the thought of finishing quickly.

Before Bai Ze could move, Mo quickly turned around, revealing his perfectly sculpted pectoral muscles, which immediately came into Bai Ze's view.

Before he could react, Bai Ze almost kissed Mo's lips with his forehead.

His breath hitched suddenly, and he quickly created some distance between them.

Thankfully, it was a false alarm.

But Mo expressed his regret.

With a "smack," Bai Ze slapped the wet animal skin towel across Mo's chest, covering him completely.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Mo remained calm, but his gaze never strayed from the face of the person in front of him for even a moment, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I've seen this scene before, so why is it like this today...?

Bai Ze simply lowered his head, closed his eyes, and worked even harder, huffing and puffing, trying to keep his mind pure and calm by doing physical labor.

Keep going, give it your all, and keep trying!

He even started chanting in his mind.

The skin was a little sore from being rubbed, but Mo didn't care at all. He even offered his abs to make it easier for Bai Ze to move.

The stone floor was wet and a bit slippery.

Mo casually stretched out his foot, and Bai Ze, not paying attention, stepped on it, stumbled, and was about to fall backward.

Mo had been waiting for his chance, and with lightning speed, he grabbed his arm and pulled him forward.

A melodramatic hug, straight out of an idol drama, has occurred.

Background music should be playing at this moment.

When his face suddenly pressed against the full, firm chest muscles, Bai Ze reacted and instantly turned as red as a steamed shrimp.

Mo held him very tightly.

Bai Ze's face remained either buried in his hands or tilted upwards.

Suddenly—

His body tensed suddenly, and he hurriedly struggled to stand up straight: "N-nothing's wrong..."

……

Mo was also taken aback, and his tone became unnatural: "I'll do the rest myself."

"It's normal, it's normal." Bai Ze thought to himself how kind he was, being able to comfort others even in this situation.

"Hmm." Mo didn't know what to say, so he could only respond.

Help someone to the end, and see them through to the end. You've seen it all before in public bathhouses, you have everything he has, so what's there to be afraid of!

If all else fails, just treat it as a cat bath!

Normally, when Mo transforms into a black panther, you've seen everything, just like the stray cats downstairs in your neighborhood—all the same!

Why are you shy around small animals?

"It's alright!" Bai Ze gritted his teeth, immediately put the animal hide back in the hot water to wash it, closed his eyes, slapped it on Mo's thigh, and then quickly started rubbing it.

Mo stood there... and finally started to feel awkward too.

He had fair skin, and his face and neck turned red very noticeably, but fortunately, Bai Ze rubbed it vigorously, so even though his whole body was red, it didn't look too abrupt.

What a wonderfully refreshing bath!

The two of them walked out of the bathroom, their faces flushed.

Jue was sitting obediently by the fire. Seeing her father and uncle like this, she looked at them with concern and asked, "Is it hot inside?"

"Um."

"Um."

The two nodded in unison.

After calming himself down a bit, Bai Ze found a stone bowl and tore up the leaves that the shaman had given him earlier that day and put them in.

Mo, whose lower body was covered in animal skin, walked over and asked, "What's this?"

"I always wander off in my sleep, so I asked the Great Shaman for some medicine." Bai Ze led the fire inside.

I thought the leaves would burn quickly, but I found that these leaves burned very slowly, somewhat like incense, with a scent reminiscent of incense from temples.

"Is that all?"

"Um."

His face remained calm and expressionless: "Does this thing even work?"

"I don't know." Bai Ze held the bowl. "The great shaman said that if I smell this scent while sleeping, I'll sleep very soundly. That way, I shouldn't wander off."

"Hmm." Mo's brows suddenly relaxed.

He thoughtfully took the bowl from Bai Ze's hand, went into the cave, and placed it on the bedside table where Bai Ze was sleeping.

They are very close.
