Chapter 397 A Little Interlude at the Hot Spring
Soaking in a hot spring is such a wonderful thing.
With a cheerful mood, Ye Xiao lifted the bamboo curtain blocking the view at the entrance to the hot spring.
An open-air hot spring.
Rocky hills, narrow paths, bamboo groves.
The steam from the hot springs makes you feel like you've entered a fairyland.
Ye Xiao wrapped her lower body in a bath towel and walked towards the hot spring.
The warm spring water washed over his shoulders, and the faint scent of sulfur seeped into his pores, allowing Ye Xiao to relax and stretch his tense muscles after a long day.
Just as Ye Xiao was soaking in the hot spring.
Rose, carrying a small basin, walked happily toward the hot springs.
You can tell at a glance that she's in a really good mood today.
"100-yen stores are truly the best stores in the world!"
Um...
Roseweather found some great things at the dollar store today, like the bathrobe she's wearing now, which she bought there.
After a day of fun, it's time to relax.
"Soak in hot springs~soak in hot springs~"
Rose smiled and arrived at the entrance of a hot spring.
Seeing that there were still lights inside, Rose decided to soak in it.
"There shouldn't be anyone inside."
With that, he parted the bamboo curtain and went inside.
Inside, Ye Xiao, who was soaking in the water, heard a rustling sound outside and then turned her head.
Rose smiled and happily lifted the curtain as she walked in.
"Hmm? Roseweather, you're here for a soak in the hot springs too?"
The girl, who had been happy, turned around upon hearing this and saw Ye Xiao smiling and waving at her.
Rose quickly said, "I'm sorry, Lord Xiao, I didn't know you were soaking in the hot springs here. I'll leave right away."
Before Ye Xiao could speak, Rose turned and left.
Ye Xiao's name is renowned, even Odin himself is ashamed of his own inferiority, after all, he is the true demon of lust.
If I can't get married by then, that's the end of me.
"Sizzle"
All that could be heard was the sound of fabric tearing.
Rose's slightly shrewish yukata was torn from her shoulder and neck to her waist, exposing her fair skin to the air.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile.
What a lovely pair of white jade rabbits.
And as expected of a Valkyrie, she doesn't have an ounce of excess fat on her body.
It's simply a work of art!
Rose froze on the spot, instinctively clutching her torn clothes, and fell into a deathly silence.
The night breeze blew through the bamboo grove by the hot spring, carrying the coolness of the water vapor as it swept over the exposed skin.
Rosemary turned into black and white—she burned out.
As Ye Xiao examined the artwork, his Supreme Bone stirred with desire.
Seeing Rose still standing there stunned, Ye Xiao prepared to go over and give her a towel.
Rose murmured a hint of resentment.
"No—! This was bought at a 100-yen store, and it's broken like this!!!"
Ye Xiao's lips twitched slightly.
No... Rias already gave you the five social insurances and one housing fund, and you still won't spend the money?
Moreover, what hurt her more than having her body seen naked by Ye Xiao was the tearing of her bathrobe.
No wonder she's a former Valkyrie who's so stingy with money!
Rose was stunned for two seconds, and only after she finally snapped out of her distress over the bathrobe did she realize that Ye Xiao had already seen her naked.
Her face instantly flushed red, reaching her ears, and she frantically tried to cover up her exposed areas.
"Ugh—! How awful! This...this time I'll never be able to get married!!"
Ye Xiao's lips curled up slightly. "Don't you think it's a little late to be covering it up now?"
After all, even I find it beautiful.
And Roseweather looks kind of cute in this way.
Rose clutched her torn collar tightly.
The thought that the man in front of her was a lustful demon who even Odin himself was ashamed of, and that he had seen her completely naked, instantly brought tears to her eyes.
My clothes were torn, and my body was exposed.
It's over...
You're not clean yourself.
"I guess I'll never get married."
Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile at Rose's words. How could a servant who came with the dowry possibly dream of getting married?
But seeing her red eyes, she looked like she was about to cry.
Ye Xiao casually pulled a neatly folded, clean bath towel from his Divine Might Space and tossed it over.
"Alright, it's no big deal."
"What's the big deal? This is a major event in my life."
Rose Weiser refuted Ye Xiao's words without hesitation.
Of course, these rebuttals are useless.
Ye Xiao leaned against the hot spring and casually said, "Don't you know that after becoming a demon, you have to be your master's dowry?"
These words were spoken.
Rose paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.
"Really...really?"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, go back and ask yourself."
Hearing this, Rose calmed down slightly.
I... was part of the dowry.
So... no need to find a boyfriend anymore, just go straight to the right one.
Ye Xiao looked at Rose, who was in a daze, and smiled slightly, "Alright, if you want to soak in the hot spring, come down and join us. Anyway, the place is so big."
Rose stared at Ye Xiao for several seconds, her mind racing, before she suddenly realized what Ye Xiao meant. Her cheeks flushed red, and her fingers, gripping the towel tightly, turned white.
"You...you're talking nonsense! I'm Rias's retinue! I'm not some dowry attendant!"
Despite her stubbornness, she quickly caught the towel thrown at her, turned around and quickly changed out of her torn hundred-yuan bathrobe, wrapping herself up tightly before dawdling to the hot spring.
She tentatively dipped her feet in, and the warm spring water washed over her, making her sigh with comfort. Then she carefully moved to sit down on the edge of the pool, far away from Ye Xiao.
The evening breeze carried the scent of bamboo leaves, mixed with the faint sulfurous smell of the hot spring.
Rose, who had been tense all day, slowly relaxed. She touched the warm spring water with her fingertips and secretly glanced at Ye Xiao, who was leaning against the pool with his eyes closed, resting.
Looking at Ye Xiao, Rose felt a little apprehensive and thought that being a dowry attendant wasn't such a bad idea.
Moreover... Odin, the chief god, previously mentioned that the various pantheons were planning to have a friendly exchange.
I was the one who was left behind, so it should be me, right?
Rose shrugged for a moment, then closed her eyes and began to enjoy the moment.
