Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

Seeing Di Ao turn around for the fourth time, Qi Xie finally couldn't help but follow his gaze.

But apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the huge bathhouse.

Because Tangquanhui is positioned as a high-end bathhouse, and it's not the cold season yet, there are hardly any people in the bathhouse during the day.

Qi Xie asked:

"Why are you looking back? There's no one else in this bathhouse besides the two of us!"

"Well……"

Di'ao was taken aback by what he heard, then scratched his head and said:

"Strange... the main thing is, I keep feeling like there's a burning gaze on me from behind, like someone's spying on me..."

"This is the men's bathhouse, who's going to look at you here..."

Qi Xie sighed.

Di'ao smiled sheepishly, agreeing with Qi Xie's point and thinking he was being overly sensitive. He then chuckled twice and joked:

"That's hard to say. Maybe someone's eyeing my well-developed muscles and my firm, attractive buttocks?"

Dio patted his big butt and gave a thumbs up.

Qi Xie grinned so hard he twitched twice, then waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Alright, alright, stop joking around and keep going."

Dio nodded and continued:

"He could have handled this himself. Although he lacks the ability, the Li family has both intermediate and advanced practitioners... or he could have gone to the authorities."

"But, because of the complicated situation in their family, he doesn't want to appear incompetent, but he can't think of a way to resolve it quietly, so he's been having a headache."

Qi Xie stroked his chin and pondered for a moment:

"Understood. What are the other conditions?"

"That's all. This is the only thing that's necessary for now. We can discuss the others tonight."

Qi Xie nodded, stretched, got up from the pool, and grabbed a blanket from the side to drape over himself.

"Okay, that's settled then. I'll find a private room to rest for a bit, and you can take me to meet Li Song tonight."

"Hey, Mr. Qi, aren't you going to take a bath anymore?"

"I'm not going to soak anymore, I'll just wander around. I've never experienced what a bathhouse in the north is like."

"Okay, fine, if you're not going to soak, I'm not going to either, or I'll get puffy from it."

Dio quickly got up and climbed out of the pool:

"How about I show Master Qi around?"

"No need, I'm used to being alone."

Qi Xie dried himself off and was about to go to the changing room to change into a dry bathrobe when he suddenly heard a passionate voice from the side.

"Would you two like a body scrub service?"

Qi Xie and Di Ao turned their heads to look.

A chubby young man with a round face and a thick beard, wearing the Tangquanhui work uniform, had a kind and friendly face. He was holding a bath scrubber in his hand and smiling at the two of them.

"A body scrub? Wow, that's great! I've never seen this service here before. Is it an extra charge?"

Dio's eyes lit up.

As Qi Xie looked at the chubby boy, only one strange thought came to his mind:

When did this guy show up?

"This is included in the service and is completely free."

The chubby boy waved his hand and chuckled.

"That's great! I just came out of a dungeon and I'm covered in mud. Come on, scrub me off."

Di Ao chuckled and looked at Qi Xie, saying enthusiastically:

"Mr. Qi, why don't you join me for a meal?"

"I'll pass, you enjoy it."

Qi Xie waved his hand.

He had never been to a public bathhouse or experienced a body scrub before. Although he would love to try, he had a habit of hating it when others touched his body.

This isn't some kind of germaphobia or psychological quirk.

It's a habit that came from a long time ago.

At that time, he had just received the [Flesh and Blood Reconstruction] and had not yet gotten used to the pain of losing his body and regenerating.

Fighting the strange creatures was a minor injury; the main problem was the evil god.

The thing was so hungry it was delirious. Occasionally, it would treat him like a snack, and in one bite, it would take an arm or a leg.

That fucking hurts!!!

Even after regeneration, it still hurts, that phantom pain.

The phantom pain intensifies when someone touches him, so he hates it when others touch his body.

Although I've gotten used to it and become numb to it, the habit has stayed.

"Alright, alright, then please make yourself at home, Mr. Qi. I'm going to enjoy myself now. Eat and drink to your heart's content, and just call me if you need anything. Everything today is on me, Xiao Di!"

Di'ao patted his pectoral muscles, chuckled, and followed the chubby boy away.

You can still faintly hear their conversation.

"Sir, please allow me to introduce the shower gel we will be using for the body scrubbing and massage later. It is imported from abroad."

"Wow, this is so stylish! Hehehe, I can't wait..."

……

……

Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Qi Xie stroked his chin.

Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Never mind, it's probably none of my business.

Qi Xie shrugged and turned to leave.

After casually eating and drinking at the bathhouse's self-service food and beverage station, Qi Xie found an empty rest room, lay down on a massage chair, and began to think about the negotiations for the evening.

The most important factor, without a doubt, is the price.

He now possesses four dangerous-grade bizarre materials, four level-four sealed artifacts, and two level-three sealed artifacts.

For someone who has only entered the bizarre dungeon three times, this wealth is nothing short of incredible.

Everything else can be given, but the two level-three sealed artifacts 'bestowed' by the evil god cannot be given away.

The Blood Axe of the Dismemberer is his most important weapon, which greatly increases his attack power.

The eye ring is highly versatile; once given away, it's hard to find one that suits you as well.

Four level-four sealed artifacts, plus four pieces of dangerous-level bizarre materials, would fetch around nine to ten thousand bizarre points on a trading forum.

Add another bizarre and dangerous request.

The price isn't low; it all depends on the quality of the strange materials the other party has.

Qi Xie hoped for the highest possible score.

Ok……

We can just take it and use it first, and pay the debt later.

What? You won't let me owe you money?

Then go ask the tentacle next to me for food; it wants to eat it.

Qi Xie arrived in Yingchuan City at noon.

Before long, it got dark.

However, Dio did not appear.

Qi Xie walked out of the lounge with a puzzled look on his face and immediately heard Di Ao's excited voice.

Follow the sound and walk outside.

At the front desk, Di'ao was slamming his fist on the table, shouting and yelling with a contorted expression.

The receptionist looked at him with a troubled expression.

Di'ao: "Hey, are you kidding me?! I only found out your bathhouse masseur is gay after I finished the scrubbing!"

The young woman said, "But...but we've never had a bathhouse attendant here before..."

Dio: "Bullshit! He even recommended your new shower gel to me! I remember it clearly! It was warm!"

The young woman said, "Our products are all from our own brand. We've never bought shower gel before, and we don't heat them up..."
