Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 134 Ambiguity

Three hours later, Ning Feiliu, who was sitting in front of her experimental table, suddenly felt the soul power fluctuations belonging to Ye Lingling behind her, which suddenly increased.

Immediately afterwards, the sudden surge in soul power gradually subsided, then slowly returned to calm, and finally vanished.

"It seems Lingling succeeded." Ning Feiliu recorded the data from the alchemy synthesis experiment in her hand, and then said with a smile.

He put his research notes back into his soul tool and then slowly walked out.

But just then, Ye Lingling exclaimed in surprise, "Ah—!"

Ning Feiliu was taken aback for a moment, but... because the laboratory and the courtyard were not far apart.

He immediately appeared in the courtyard and saw Ye Lingling under the old tree.

Ye Lingling looked rather disheveled. The usually aloof and independent Ye Lingling was now covered in mud, her clothes smeared with black, foul-smelling grime.

Oh right! Ning Feiliu suddenly remembered something: the Xuan Shui Dan also had the effect of cleansing the marrow and tendons.

He had completely forgotten to tell Ye Lingling about it.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Ah... I'm sorry... Lingling, I forgot to tell you about this..."

After absorbing the Profound Water Pill, Ye Lingling felt somewhat embarrassed as she looked at the mud gushing from her body.

After all, she was such a clean girl, and suddenly she had so much dirt on her body and smelled so bad.

Any girl would feel a little embarrassed.

Just then, Ning Feiliu appeared in front of her.

Ye Lingling immediately bit her lip, stood up, her pretty face flushed, and said quite embarrassedly, "You...don't look! And don't smell...don't...don't breathe!"

She was really embarrassed, and at the same time, she was annoyed that Ning Feiliu hadn't told her about this sooner.

If she had known, she would have taken the Xuan Shui Pill home and absorbed it. That way, no one would have seen her in such a wretched state, and she could have immediately taken a bath to wash away the unpleasant filth.

"Ah... I don't want to look." Ning Feiliu quickly turned his back to indicate that he didn't want to look, but he said helplessly, "But not breathing is too much to ask..."

Although Soul Masters can use their Soul Power to briefly "inner breath," they are still human and cannot hold their breath for too long.

"Then... stay away!" Ye Lingling gritted her teeth and said with a blush on her pretty face.

"Okay... I'll move away." Ning Feiliu turned her back to her again and took a few steps forward.

Ye Lingling then felt slightly less embarrassed.

Just then, Ning Feiliu said to her with his back to her, "Lingling, those are impurities that were expelled from your body after the cleansing and marrow-removing treatment. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's my fault, I forgot to tell you this... Do you want to go to my bathroom to wash up? I'll go boil some water for you."

Of course, there are places to take a bath here, after all, he has been living here for a year since he moved out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle.

However, in this era, if you want to take a hot shower, you definitely have to boil the water yourself.

Although Ning Feiliu usually takes cold showers, Ye Lingling definitely needs to take a hot shower to wash off the dirt on her body.

"...Okay." Ye Lingling felt a little embarrassed, but she still nodded and agreed.

After all, she couldn't possibly walk through the streets covered in foul-smelling mud and grime all the way home.

If someone sees this, how will she live her life afterward?

Ye Lingling immediately went to the bathroom in Ning Feiliu's courtyard, while Ning Feiliu went to boil water.

Ning Feiliu usually produced some high-flammability chemical fuels, which came in handy at this moment. In just half an hour, a large tub of bathwater was heated up, and then he carried it out of the bathroom one bucket at a time with wooden tubs.

He called out to Ye Lingling in the bathroom, "Lingling, the water's boiled, I've put it outside the door for you."

Ye Lingling is, after all, a Soul Master. Even as a support-type Soul Master, she possesses physical attributes far exceeding those of ordinary people when she circulates her Soul Power.

So it was no problem for her to carry the hot water in herself; Ning Feiliu didn't need to do it herself.

"...Okay..." Ye Lingling, her pretty face flushed, said in the bathroom.

However, Ning Feiliu did not respond at this time, and probably left after bringing the hot water over.

Ye Lingling quietly opened the wooden door to the bathroom and peeked out. She saw the lights coming on in Ning Feiliu's laboratory and residence.

It was obvious that Ning Feiliu went back to continue her experiment after boiling the water for her.

For some reason, she felt a little disappointed.

Isn't it said that... men always have strange thoughts about girls taking a bath?

But Ning Feiliu didn't seem to have any interest at all... Is she really that unattractive?

Ye Lingling shook her head, her pretty face flushed. What was she thinking?

Let's wash off the grime first...

She turned around and channeled her soul power to carry buckets of hot water into the bathroom, then began to wash away the dirt and grime from her body.

However, the sound of her bathing water slowly drifted into the laboratory.

After all, they were all in the same courtyard, and this courtyard was obviously usually occupied by one or two people. In addition, it was set in ancient times, so the soundproofing wasn't very good.

Ning Feiliu hadn't thought much of it at first, but as the sound of the trickling water filled the air, thoughts began to unconsciously surface in his mind...

Ye Lingling was completely naked, her fair, snow-white, and silky skin shimmering under the impact of the water.

Speaking of which, although Ye Lingling is only thirteen years old, the development of Soul Masters in Douluo Continent is generally far beyond that of their peers.

In the original storyline, there was an example of Zhu Zhuqing having a pair of large headlights when she was not yet twelve years old... Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were also described as quite mature when they were around twelve years old in the original storyline.

Ye Lingling's figure is quite curvaceous, as can be seen from her usual appearance.

Sometimes, these kinds of things can uncontrollably conjure up detailed images in your mind just because of a sound or a blurry outline.

This is similar to how, in Ning Feiliu's past life, during exams, the lyrics of a song she listened to while studying the night before would involuntarily flash through her mind...

You know you shouldn't think about these things during an exam, but these lyrics and songs just keep playing in your mind.

Therefore, human imagination... is sometimes completely beyond human control.

Ning Feiliu knew she shouldn't be thinking about these things, but the image of Ye Lingling's alluring naked body kept appearing in her mind...

"No... be serious. We're going to conduct an experiment on the extract of Grade 9 Ganoderma lucidum." He shook his head violently, trying to shake those images he shouldn't be thinking about out of his mind.

But those images, along with the sound of water flowing as Ye Lingling took a bath, lingered in his mind...
