As a result, Shane ended up not choosing to say those cliché lines.

He was truly not good at trash-talking, only at arguing with people.

If you asked him to become a Zu’an Inheritor, he could do it in minutes, but to become a master of rhetoric, really, it was simply too much for him.

So, Shane could only stay silent, following Tielle back to the Lazahad family.

Along the way, not a single word was exchanged between Shane and Tielle.

And just when Shane thought the two of them would part ways then and there, each heading back to their own rooms, Tielle suddenly said something.

“Have you taken a bath?”

The abrupt question caught Shane off guard.

Before Shane could even figure out why Tielle would ask such a question, he had already subconsciously responded.

“I’ve already bathed, but I might go again later.”

After all, following Tielle on this trip, Shane had gotten slightly dusty and carried some scents.

Normally, Shane wouldn’t mind a bit of dust and scents, but he had grown somewhat fond of the Lazahad family’s large bathing arena, so he was thinking of soaking in it once more.

“Is that so?” Tielle nodded slightly, saying indifferently, “Then you go ahead first.”

“Okay.” Shane agreed.

But a second later, Shane froze.

Wait a minute…

“Go ahead first?”

What did that mean?

Shane didn’t have time to ponder this question either.

Because Tielle had already thrown out this statement.

“I’ll come to you later.”

Having said that, Tielle left.

Shane watched Tielle go, dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

It wasn’t until several minutes later…

“Huh?”

Shane made such a naive, elongated sound.

Does that mean…

Tielle plans to come to the large bathing arena to find him.

Why come to the large bathing arena to find him?

Option A: Take a bath with him.

Option B: Take a bath with him.

Option C: Take a bath with him.

Option D: And again, take a bath with him.

Which one was the answer?

“Is there a difference————!?”

Shane’s loud yell echoed through the hall.

A slice of fortune he hadn’t anticipated seemed to have suddenly arrived.

…

In the Lazahad family, large bathing arena.

This bathing arena was not only vast in size but also extravagantly furnished.

The floor tiles of the bathing arena were very smooth and lovely stone tiles.

Exquisite statues were situated all around the perimeter of the arena.

And in the center, there was a large bath pool with a diameter of at least twenty meters, the water bubbling with heat, causing steam to waft around.

According to the butler’s explanation, this bath was connected to eight underground waterways, which would automatically drain the water every night at intervals, ensuring the absolute cleanliness of the bath. Fresh water would continuously flow from the mouths of those eight statues into the pool, rendering any manual intervention unnecessary except for cleaning.

It wasn’t servants who heated the water in the pool either, but a magic apparatus installed beneath the bath.

Such a bathing pool, just its construction cost thousands of gold coins, which could be said to be quite luxurious.

At this moment, Shane was soaking in it, continuously muttering to himself.

“Calm down, calm down, things might not be as I imagine them to be.”

Ever since he entered the bathhouse, Shane had been muttering to himself like this.

“Someone just said they’d come to find me later, not that they’d come to this bathhouse while I’m taking a bath, right?”

“Maybe she meant she’d come find me after I finished washing up?”

“Although she did say ‘you go ahead,’ that didn’t mean she wanted to take a bath with me, did it?”

“That’s right, this is reality, not a novel. It’s impossible for there to be a plot where a beautiful girl, with no confirmed relationship, takes the initiative to scrub a guy’s back. That kind of service is for those shameless shut-ins behind the screen. If it weren’t for that, how could those shut-ins ever spend money to keep watching?”

“So, in reality, such unscientific things simply can’t happen.”

Shane convinced himself with these thoughts, but his legs, submerged in the water, quivered involuntarily, betraying his restlessness.

No way around it.

Although reason told Shane such a thing couldn’t happen in reality, he couldn’t help but indulge in wild thoughts.

It could only be said that Shane was a man, a sad man.

Since he was a man, even if the hope was slim, he still felt anticipation.

Therefore, Shane had once again entered a brainstorm.

“What was my reaction when I saw similar scenarios in the past?”

“That’s right, I knew nothing would happen, but I couldn’t help continuing to read on. When I confirmed that indeed nothing happened, I’d cuss out the protagonist who was a gentleman in reading but impotent in writing.”

“After all, in such a situation, if someone takes the initiative and you don’t take advantage, are you even playing?”

Thinking of such things, Shane began to mutter to himself.

“If Tielle really comes later…”

What should I do?

Become the kind of protagonist I’ve cursed countless times in the past?

But I’m not the protagonist, am I?

“Right, not the protagonist, so why pretend to have gentlemanly manners?”

As a man, being decisive and going for it was the right thing to do!

With that thought, Shane’s expression turned fierce.

“Don’t blame me for not warning you, if you really dare to take the initiative later, then don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Shane, as if speaking to someone, firmed up his resolve.

Just then…

“What impoliteness?”

A soft voice sounded, reaching Shane’s ears.

“Cough…!”

Shane instantly snapped out of his brainstorm, choking on water.

At this moment, Shane realized that, unknowingly, the familiar Magic Power had appeared in the bathhouse.

Of course, the familiar figure had also appeared.

“You…”

Shane was dumbstruck, staring blankly.

There, at the edge of the bath, Tielle, just as she had said, appeared indeed.

That scene, Shane felt, would accompany him for countless nights to come.

Because Tielle had not only shed the black cloak that had become her signature, but her entire body was bare as well.

That’s right.

She had undressed.

And there she stood, openly in front of Shane, without a hint of cover.

This was undoubtedly the first time Shane had seen such a beautiful sight and the first time he had seen Tielle with so much skin exposed.

Given this, it was not until this very second that Shane learned what the delicate body underneath Tielle’s black cloak actually looked like.

However, Tielle was wearing a mask on her face, covering the upper half of her face.

In other words, Shane still did not know what Tielle’s specific appearance was like.

But Shane did confirm Tielle’s hair color.

Tielle had a head of knee-length purple hair that looked particularly stunning.

Tielle, wearing only a mask, walked over with composure and, before Shane’s eyes, immersed herself in the bath.

At this moment, Shane had only one thing he wanted to say.

“This life of mine has been worth it.”
