Chapter 1073 - Nice

Alex reached his destination. It was a small hut that barely fit five people, but the hot spring was particularly huge.

"Say… Doesn't the bath bigger than the house?"

"Ahaha." Rose could only look away and laugh, hoping that Alex didn't pursue the matter.

"What? Do you have a reason to hide it?" Alex narrowed his eyes, glancing at Rose.

"Big Sister told us that the size matters. She wants to take a bath together, saying that it's a skinship."

"Well, whatever." Alex shrugged. "Let's go to the house first."

"Sure thing." She accompanied her master with a smile.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Xingzhi walked to the front, greeting him. "You are back. You must have felt something different."

"I am not sure. Although I have gained many things, I feel like I can't connect the dots among them. You can say that the puzzles are in pieces, but I haven't seen the real picture yet." Alex let out a long sigh.

"No wonder." She shook her head helplessly. "In fact, you are already far ahead than any of your competitors. Anyway, I won't say much about your law because people may understand your law better, weakening your power."

"Then, why did you…"

"No one has Nature Element other than me. Even if they know it, they won't share it with others, so it's fine. However, I still don't know your law and with you having Pure Fire or Space Element, they might be able to copy it."

"I see." Alex nodded with a smile.

"By the way, what are you planning to do now?"

"Nothing. I will be relaxing for two days before starting my training. I will try to return here from time to time to enjoy our time."

"Alright then. No need to worry about us because I will be taking care of them. Well, each of them has a clear view of what they need to do so that only requires me to supervise their training. That simple." Lin Xingzhi assured him.

"That's right. I am confident that I can reach Rank 4 God during this training session. No, it should only require me one month since I am already very close." Silvia walked out of her room and said. "I am waiting for you to reach Rank 5. Even though I still can't believe that you can catch up to me this soon, I should say as expected of Alexander Sirius."

"That's good. I will be surpassing you soon."

"I will do my best to not let you do it that soon." She shrugged.

"By the way, where are Evelyn and Letizia?"

"Evelyn is using the Fire Energy from the volcano to increase her power while Letizia is on top of this mountain where the temperature is at its coldest. Do you want me to call them?"

"Nah. It's fine." Alex shook his head. He thought for a moment and asked. "I want you to arrange another investigation party with the beasts to locate all six "weapons". Can you do that?"

"I think it's fine. I will just send a message to Anna or Anya, so they will pass it to Korzan."

"Thanks. Have the Blackwade Clan filled the hole from the second investigation team."

"Roger. Rather than talking about this, how about you go take a bath? It's nice, you know."

"Fine. I will discuss this matter later. Is that fine?" Alex asked.

"Sure." Lin Xingzhi nodded while pointing at the door leading to the bath.

Alex then turned around and walked to the bath. He took off his clothes and found the traditional style of hot spring. The floor was made of giant stones. The wooden roof prevented the ashes from coming down, contaminating the hot spring.

Taking out a gallon of water, he washed himself first and walked toward the spring. After taking another look at the water with his Spirit Eyes, he entered the bath.

Despite resistance to a cold, he really felt that the warm bath pierced through his skin, spreading the warmth all over his body.

"It's been a long time since I last took a shower." Alex sighed, leaned on the rock, and looked at the sky.

He couldn't help but feel nostalgic. He raised his hand and smiled. "If I were on Earth, I would already have a grandchild with my current age and enjoying my retirement life. However, I don't know if I could lead a good life after everything happened in that world."

Alex closed his eyes. "This is truly nice."

Pak.

Suddenly, someone opened the door before Lin Xingzhi's voice echoed in his ears.

"I will be joining you, okay?" Lin Xingzhi chuckled.

Alex raised his head again until he could see Lin Xingzhi behind him, finding a heavenly view that no one had the honor to see except for him.

However, it escalated so fast when he saw Silvia and Rose entering with Lin Xingzhi.

"Girls? What are you doing?" asked Alex with a flat tone as if he never got bothered by their appearance despite them being naked.

"Learning from big sister. It's a family's skinship. Besides, I am Master's disciple. Isn't it a disciple's job to wash her master's back?"

"I mean, you are already at that age already, so I think you should save it for your future man."

"I won't have it anytime soon. And a disciple is like a daughter, so everything is fine. Or does Master have bad thoughts about my body?"

"Nope. I am just wondering whether I have taught you common sense or not."

"Don't worry. I have learned common sense from Big Sister." Rose made a big smile while giving a thumb up. However, her eyes were glancing at Lin Xingzhi, whom she called big sister earlier.

"I see. You have learned the poison from a poison master?"

"Oho. I took that personally, you know." Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes. "It seems I need to teach you who is better between us… On the bed."

"There are still Silvia and Rose. Be more mindful, will you?"

"It's just a sex education for Rose while I know that you are going to bed Silvia soon. No need to lie to me. Everything is a part of nature, including Lust. I can feel it."

"No, no. There must be something strange with your nature…" Alex twitched his eyebrows. "Anyway, little kid shouldn't look, okay?"

"Master…You do realize that our age difference is less than twenty years, right?" Rose pouted.

"But you said that a disciple is a kind of my own daughter, so you are a kid." Alex shrugged.

"Whatever, I am going in." Rose washed her body while pouting. She soon entered the bath and enjoyed the feeling without caring.

"You have messed her mind." Alex pointed at Rose while complaining to Lin Xingzhi.

"I am just teaching her culture. Nothing's wrong with that." Lin Xingzhi shrugged and entered the bath too.

"You should teach her common sense and knowledge, not that kind of culture. Ah, never mind. I am too tired to talk about this." Alex sighed. "You will always twist my own words."

Lin Xingzhi smirked as if she had won.

At the same time, Silvia scratched the back of her head, embarrassed. She never thought that Alex didn't deny what Lin Xingzhi said earlier. Although she had yet to become an official wife like the others, she was already close to it. At the very least, everything had gotten paid.

"They said that the first time will be hurt. I am wondering whether I should treat myself, so I won't feel it and—"

"It's fine. Just be true to yourself." Lin Xingzhi waved her hand while saying nonchalantly. "He will prefer that way. You can start coming to my class after a few times."

Alex wanted to smack her head right in this instant, but he let out a long sigh to calm his heart. "Anyway, take a bath or whatever."

"Fufu. By the way, I have notified Letizia and Evelyn. They might come here soon."

"I thought I told you to not call them…"

"I didn't call them. I notified them," said Lin Xingzhi righteously as if she did nothing wrong.

"I am wondering whether the family will be corrupted sooner or later."

"Someone needs to be shameless in the family or we won't gain any profit. That's why I will be taking that role. You can simply put me back where I should belong after I reap the benefit for our family." Lin Xingzhi chuckled, not feeling ashamed of revealing her desire to him.

"Yeah, yeah." Alex sighed.

Silvia smiled when listening to their conversation. It was unique and dirty, but somehow it felt warm, just like watching her father flirting with her mother. It was a family.

She walked to the spring and entered the water next to Rose. Of course, she was a bit more conservative and covered her body with a towel.

When Lin Xingzhi saw that, she quickly commanded Rose. "Rose. This is your training. Strip her!"

"Yes, Big Sister!" Rose saluted before turning to Silvia while playing her hand vulgarly.

At the same time, Evelyn and Letizia came in.

"Ah. She is right. They are here." Evelyn quickly ran and leaped, planning to take a dive.

However, she soon got frozen as Letizia frowned. "Wash yourself first. You just trained earlier, so it stinks."

Suddenly, Evelyn cut the ice with her Sword Qi before pouting. "Fine."

"Yeah. At least, there are two normal people who are sane in our family."

"Is that a challenge?" Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes as if she took that personally and wanted to corrupt the entire family.

"Nope. Anyway, I will be enjoying the bath." Alex just leaned on the rock and closed his eyes, ignoring all those around him.

Despite the warm atmosphere, another place didn't share the same sentiment. Sherry just finished her cultivation and opened her eyes, noticing that someone was rushing to her room.

Bang.

A female kneeled after slamming the door and shouted. "Young Lady. There is an emergency. Please go to the throne room right now."
