Chapter 140 - Handsome Tip
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The meal was calm and enjoyable. Luo Xiao was truly famished, and the food was delicious, so he ended up eating much more than usual. He ate to the point where his stomach was bulging, and he felt so lazy that he did not want to make even the slightest movement.
Jiang Yao could not help but chuckle as he saw his little lover leaning back in complete satisfaction.
Although it was dangerous to overdraft one’s mental energy, it was not without benefits. If one did not damage their mind, they would instead advance by leaps and bounds, and as Luo Xiao had been so focused, he had indeed benefited greatly.
The floor was still a mess. Vials full of medicinal concoction were everywhere, alongside some herbs that had been placed in batches randomly on the ground. Everything was centered around the pill cauldron, and the dense scent of herbs permeated within the room.
Jiang Yao was more than willing to clean after Luo Xiao, but he also knew that the younger man was likely to want to do it himself..ᴄᴏᴍ
“You made quite a large amount of medicinal liquid,” Jiang Yao could not help but say, as he looked at the many vials that were stacked into a small hill on the floor.
Luo Xiao glanced at the many vials and smiled happily. “I am not sure how many portions I will need before my body can no longer absorb this medicine, so I might as well make a few more. In case that I end up with an excess, I can give them to you. I assume your faction is still training some new guards all the time, and they would benefit from this concoction too.”
It was not that Luo Xiao was ignorant of the value of these medicinal concoctions. He knew just how valuable they were, but he would instead use them to assist Jiang Yao than to add to his wealth. All the treasures they had found within the cave were already enough to pay for his cultivation and pill refinement for many years into the future, so there was no need to continue struggling to earn money.
Jiang Yao was also not surprised that Luo Xiao knew of him training guards. He had never mentioned it to this younger male, but they had seen some of his men before, and with Luo Xiao’s intelligence, he knew that as a Demon Prince, Jiang Yao needed to command his own forces.
He would have to continually train and nurture new talents who could enter his personal guards and assist him in doing specific tasks; one did not need to be a genius to guess this.
A tranquil silence descended on the room, but it was not uncomfortable, nor was it awkward. It was a gentle and soft silence that made both Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao feel good.
Luo Xiao waited until he no longer felt so bloated before he slowly rose from the chair and went to clean up the items he had used to concoct the medicine.
He left one vial of medicine on the table, but swept everything else into his storage treasure. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Jiang Yao could guess his purpose and went to summon a servant, who came running with a bathing barrel. Not long after, it was full of steaming hot water.
As the servant received his tip, he politely closed the door. A great smile hung on his lips as he looked at the handsome pay he had gotten. He knew that these two were not ordinary experts, but to see that they had gifted him an Earth Grade Spirit Crystal for nothing more than filling a bath, he felt that the difference between the rich and the poor was actually quite hurtful.
Jiang Yao and Luo Xiao were not aware of the servant’s thoughts. Their full focus was on the water within the barrel, which had turned faintly emerald in color. It shone beautifully in the light from the moonstones on the wall, and the clear emerald liquid emitted a pleasant scent.
Jiang Yao knew that this was truly a premium grade medicinal liquid. Luo Xiao had only poured the content of one vial into the bath barrel, and the water had instantly become like this. Even he felt his body relax when smelling the soft scent.
Luo Xiao took a deep breath. He was not sure of whether it would hurt or feel comfortable to change his body, but he knew that this was a step he had to overcome in order to become strong.
He slowly undid his clothes. Jiang Yao, who was standing behind him, could not help but chuckle lowly when he saw the lack of restraint in Luo Xiao’s actions.
The young man was indeed embarrassed from stripping in front of Jiang Yao, but he was also aware that the demon prince had already seen his entire body before, so seeing it again would not change much.
Another reason was that it was already late. He did not have the heart to chase Jiang Yao out of the room just because he wanted a bath, so he convinced himself that it was not a big deal.
Fortunately, Jiang Yao was standing behind him, and while he took a charming look at the slender figure that appeared in front of him, he did not notice the extremely red face that Luo Xiao had as he was turned away from him.
Luo Xiao hurriedly went into the water. He had been worried about pain, but the moment he entered the water, it was as if he had been covered by the most comfortable jacket. His body was suddenly enveloped by a soft, cotton-like feeling, which slowly entered into his body through his pores.
It was in no way uncomfortable. Instead, it felt very pleasant, and he could not help but let out a moan of enjoyment.
