Walnut's head popped out of the water beside him, and he said in a low voice, "Are you trying to peek at this master taking a bath...?"

"I'm just passing by, I'm just a fish passing by..."

Jiang Bai casually prepared to swim away, when his delicate ear was grabbed by an icy hand.

"Fish, right? We'll have braised fish for lunch today..." Hu Tao grabbed his ear and pulled it outwards. Her voice was sinister, and with her wet hair sticking to her head, she looked like a real female ghost.

"Ouch..." Jiang Bai's head followed the direction she was pulling, as if afraid she would hurt his ear.

"I just came to check on the Hall Master! That's right! I came to check on the Hall Master!" Jiang Bai was a little hesitant at first, but he became more and more certain as he spoke, to the point that he almost believed it himself.

"You care about me, don't you! My hair is really hard to wash, so why don't you wash it for me?"

"This isn't right... I've never washed anyone's hair before..." Jiang Bai trembled.

"Didn't you say you cared about me? Here's your chance to show me some concern."

Jiang Bai swallowed hard as he looked at the Staff of Homo that had appeared in Hu Tao's hand.

"Okay! No problem! We'll definitely provide excellent service!"

"Let's go, let's get ashore!" Hu Tao put away her staff and emerged from the water, with Jiang Bai following behind her, looking aggrieved.

He just came over for a stroll, how did he become a hair-washing laborer?

The little ghost crawled out of Hu Tao's body, its two tiny paws cradling her dripping hair, and grinned at Jiang Bai.

"Build a house so I can change my clothes."

"oh......."

A tiny, pitch-black matchstick suddenly appeared on the spot, enveloping the walnut.

Walnut simply wrung out the water from her hair, letting Little Ghost hold it to prevent it from dripping onto her, and then began to change her clothes.

The little ghost diligently cradled its master's hair, its little eyes closed, as if it were something it shouldn't look at.

She changed her clothes quickly, and soon after, she had Jiang Bai remove the clothes from the room and came out.

"Okay, time to wash your hair!"

Little Ghost grinned and handed the hair to Jiang Bai.

Its owner hates washing their hair. They don't know how long it takes to wash it, and it gets tangled very easily, and they can't even comb it out, which makes them very irritable.

"How do I wash it?" Jiang Bai asked, looking completely bewildered.

Should we dip our heads into the water a couple of times, or just put them directly into the water?

It would be great if I could just take it off, wash it, and then put it back on...

"Make a slightly tilted stone bed, with the area around the head hollowed out..."

Jiang Bai followed Hu Tao's instructions step by step, and before long, a stone shampoo bed appeared by the lake. Apart from lacking a shower head and being rather natural, it perfectly served the purpose of a shampoo bed.

Walnut took out a special shampoo for washing her hair and lay down.

"Okay, wash it like this."

She lay on the shampoo bed, her long hair hanging down, the ends floating on the lake, her large face, without any bangs to cover it, facing the sky.

"First wet your hair, then apply shampoo, then do this, then this..." Hu Tao guided Jiang Bai step by step.

Judging from Hu Tao's posture, Jiang Bai suspected that she had made preparations and planned this all along.

But as a lowly underling with no human rights, he dared not ask.

He washed her hair with the same diligence as a shampoo girl in a barbershop.

Walnut lay on the stone bed, enjoying the services of the shampoo boy, and hummed a cheerful tune.

Qiqi, who had been avoiding her, quietly approached and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Washing my hair..." Jiang Bai felt bitter.

Qiqi looked down at her somewhat dirty long braid, then looked up at him.

Although it wasn't said, the longing was self-evident.

She also wanted to wash her hair.

"Let the head of the hall wash you. She chased you all morning, shouldn't she apologize to you?" Jiang Bai said righteously.

Hu Tao wasn't deaf; she naturally heard what she was saying.

"As long as Qiqi doesn't mind, I'm fine with it." She said it casually, with an air of eager anticipation.

Qiqi shook her head frantically.

She'd rather not have her hair washed than have Hu Tao wash it.

"Ouch~ Be gentle!" Hu Tao, lying on the shampoo bed, gasped.

"Master, your hair isn't doing well, there are so many knots..."

"You think you're like me? Of course your hair won't get tangled with its short length!"

"Then cut your hair a little shorter..."

"do not want!"

Chapter 71 Hall Master, You Heard Wrong

Jiang Bai washed Hu Tao's hair for a full half hour, including twenty minutes of that time tidying up her tangled hair.

After washing his hair, Jiang Bai was completely exhausted.

"Master, you should hire a shampoo assistant to wash your hair from now on. I can't do it..." Jiang Bai was exhausted, both physically and mentally, after helping her dry her hair.

"You washed it very well..."

"I can't..."

Before Jiang Baihua could finish speaking, a 100-yuan Mora coin was placed in front of him.

Jiang Bai snatched it away with lightning speed and stuffed it into his pocket, immediately changing his tune, "I can do it! I can do it very well! From now on, I'll take care of your hair, Hall Master!"

Hu Tao crossed her arms and said, "I'll remember what you said."

"Hehe, with Mora here, washing my hair and even taking a shower won't be a problem!"

Jiang Bai was delighted as he touched the hundred-yuan Mora note.

He finally had Mora in his pocket, except for one Mora!

A barely perceptible blush crossed Hu Tao's face. "So, you actually tried to take advantage of me!"

Realizing what he had just said, Jiang Bai chuckled awkwardly and stepped back, "Master, you misheard me..."

It was just a slip of the tongue, it's really not his fault.

Hu Tao rolled her eyes and didn't argue with him.

It was called a rest, and it really was a rest.

After traveling for several days and climbing mountains for two days, I haven't had a proper time to wash up.

Taking advantage of the good weather in the morning, everyone washed up properly, even Qiqi dried her hair with a cloth.

After washing up, Walnut felt refreshed and moved a deck chair out to sunbathe.

"Master, how exactly did you find that Kongtong Hundred Spirit Jade?" Jiang Bai asked, munching on a few raspberries he had picked nearby.

He still hasn't figured out where that Kongtong Hundred Spirit Jade came from.

"Seven-Seven found it."

"Found it last night?"

"It should be."

They were all fast asleep last night and didn't even notice that Qiqi wasn't there.

Jiang Bai remained silent, his mind filled with complex emotions.

"Master, why don't we take Qiqi back to the Hall of Rebirth?"

Such a sensible little girl is just so endearing.

"Bringing her to our Hall of Rebirth is no simple matter. Leaving aside whether she'll even like the Hall of Rebirth, Bai Zhu won't let her go..."

This is a very real problem.

Bai Zhu had been taking care of Qi Qi all along. Even though he was a bit careless and let Qi Qi go out to collect herbs alone, he didn't do anything bad to Qi Qi.

Qiqi definitely cherishes this affection.

They didn't know how much affection existed between Qiqi and Baishugenbubulu, so taking her to the Hall of Rebirth rashly would be bad for both sides.

"Sigh, if Qiqi had met you, Hall Master, in the first place, things probably wouldn't have turned out this way..."

Jiang Bai recalled his own experiences and realized that meeting Hu Tao was his good fortune.

"No, no, no!" Hu Tao gently raised a finger and shook it.

"If she had met me, I would have cremated her immediately to spare her from this suffering!"

"Uh......"

Well, people are still different.

Fortunately, Qiqi didn't encounter Hu Tao at first, otherwise she might not have been able to escape...

After resting for a morning, the three of them packed up and set off again.

After passing through Huaguang Forest, Mount Hulao comes into view.

Legend has it that Mount Hulao is the abode of immortals. The immortals loved planting and planted many miraculous plants on the mountain. These plants could absorb the essence of the sun and moon and slowly cultivate themselves into living beings.

Legend has it that the amber on the mountain is a beloved possession of the immortals. If it is broken, the immortals will punish the person and imprison them in the amber.

Legend has it that immortals dislike being disturbed, and those who disturb their quiet cultivation are sealed inside amber...

Although the legend is a bit far-fetched, it does have some basis in reality.

For example, it's said that a celestial being really lived on Mount Hulao, and this celestial being really fond of planting. Those large amber pieces scattered throughout the mountain were planted by him. However, these amber pieces cannot become spirits or live.

As for the immortals locking you up if you break it, that's true.

As for how long they will be detained, it depends on the character and attitude of the person being detained. If they are arrogant and domineering, they may be detained until they die.

Jiang Bai followed the mountain path uphill, marveling at the enormous amber pieces nestled among the mountains.

These amber pieces are quite large, about the height of a person, and are orange-yellow in color, emitting a faint glow under the sunlight.

It feels cool to the touch, and a light tap produces a crisp sound.

It doesn't look like a plant at all; it looks more like a stone.

"Master, what would happen if this amber were broken?" Jiang Bai's hands were itching; this thing looked so tempting that he really wanted to try its hardness.

"You'd better not! We're here to ask the True Lord of Lishan Dieshui for something. If you break the amber and anger the immortal, you'll have to stay here and apologize to him..." Hu Tao's gaze was dangerous, and her voice was sinister.

Now all that's missing is the Four Directions True Soul, the last piece of the puzzle. If it gets ruined by such a small mistake, then I'll have to apologize...

Jiang Bai felt as if he had been electrocuted and quickly removed his hand from the amber, not daring to touch it again.

"Qiqi, does seeing amber remind you of anything?" Hu Tao asked Qiqi.

Qiqi shook her head blankly.

"It seems I've completely forgotten. The only way is to find the True Lord's cave and ask him..."

On the protruding rock, a crane as tall as a person slowly descends, flapping its wings.

This crane is different from the black and white cranes we usually see.

Its overall color is brownish-brown, with maple-leaf-red feathers on its wings. Its elegant long neck is covered in snow-white feathers, adorned with some fiery red feathers that form mysterious and beautiful patterns, making it appear extraordinary at first glance.

His gaze fell on the three people climbing the mountain through the trees.

More accurately, it fell on Qiqi.

After watching for a while, he flapped his wings and flew away, returning to his cave.
