Divine Genius Healer, Abandoned Woman: Demonic Tyrant in Love with a Mad Little Consort-Chapter 333: Beautiful Man in the Bath
In her haste to flee, Ye Qingli suddenly glimpsed upon a little cave hidden by the side of a hill nearby.
It was hardly noticeable in the dark and no one would see it.
It took a lot to prevent herself from crying out loud. Gleeful at her luck, she dove into the passage.
From within her pockets, she produced two silk sachets and tossed them.
Plumes of poison smoke began billowing from inside the sachets.
The soldiers who got caught in the smoke collapsed at once.
The captain of the guard cried, “Watch this entrance and surround this area. Make sure she doesn’t leave!”
He sounded awfully excited.
But not without reason – he would be the one to arrest the thief who had pilfered the riches of the empire’s treasures! He was sure of it!
Think of the honor that he would receive!
Ye Qingli bolted down the darkened passage.
It was so narrow that if her girth were any larger, she might not have made it in at all.
She trudged until the end of the passage when she found her way barred by curtains of rampantly-growing vines.
She pried open a path and clambered through, only to find an unbelievable sight inside!
A tall and humongous hall of glittering gold and intricately-hewn white marble and jade filled the cavernous subterranean chamber.
Oh, my… Ye Qingli wondered with awe. What is this place?This doesn't look like the Mt. Li vault?
Treading carefully, she found a series of long canals dug on the ground like brooks and tributaries leading somewhere. She walked towards a little bridge nearby and realized that the water was steaming. It was piping hot water coming from a hot spring, flowing from hither to thither.
She walked into the palace complex of gold, passing through empty corridors and rich halls until she reached a vast garden terrace.
A garden filled with flora never before seen.
Then she heard the bubbling of water overhead. She jerked her head up and saw long bridges built of cloven jade spanning overhead, bedecked with sparkling crystals.
She stared at it for seconds until she finally understood: those were not bridges. They were channels that the builders of this place used to funnel the waters of the hot springs nearby into this place.
Heavens Almighty, whoever the owner of this place is, he sure spared no expense!
She walked the length of the bridge until she finally came to a large pool of water. An immensely-large cistern of water from hot springs nearby still churning and simmering like a huge pot of boiling water.
Then her eyes went wide as eggs.
There, in the pool of water, was a man!
The eyes of the man lying in the water were closed, the eyebrows throbbing as if he was asleep. A little towel draped over half his face, covering what he looked like.
But he was utterly naked from head to toe with the beauty of every inch of his skin in full display. He was like a sculpture painstakingly handcrafted by the gods themselves. A perfect piece of art with barely a blemish nor a crack.
The stirring waters lapped at his skin, casting a thin film of moisture that quickly evaporated before they featured the angles and contours of his physique.
Ye Qingli could not resist her eyes from taking note of the part between his legs. He really is completely naked!
She clasped a hand over her mouth.
She must have entered somewhere she was not meant to be.
Although, this was hardly her first time setting sights upon a man in all his disrobed splendor.
Yet why was her heart still racing and herself so flustered?
Was she experiencing hormonal deficiencies?
She averted her eyes from the man but she stopped in her tracks.
Wait. That man. He looks oddly familiar!? Wait a minute! I’ve hardly met anyone since coming here!
She bounded back in the way she came from. She needed to escape before she was discovered.
But she couldn’t! Suddenly, she began to lose her balance!
Her entire self began to float into midair.
Then her skin tingled with electric shivers as the warm sensation of another person’s skin pressed into hers.
A strong, sinewy arm coiled around her and drew her into a rock-hard chest.
A soft but tantalizing voice rang by her ears, “Are you here to see me?”
