"That disgusting Demon King, how dare he say this Empress stinks!"
Inside the bathroom, Longyue stood in front of the mirror, grumbling furiously as she mentally hurled curses at Lin Fan.
She was the magnificent Great Holy Empress, born of an immortal spiritual embryo, possessing a perfect immortal body.
Worldly filth couldn't approach her, so how could she have the sweat smell of an ordinary mortal!
It was the first time in her life that someone had complained about her smelling like sweat, and that person was the disgusting Demon King!
After ranting, Longyue hesitated for a moment, then raised her arm and cautiously sniffed her armpit.
Hmm…
It does seem to have a faint odor…
But even so, shouldn't that man have been more tactful? Honestly!
Longyue cursed Lin Fan again in her heart, feeling annoyed. Just as she prepared to take a bath, she froze.
In front of her, the bathroom didn't even have a bathtub, let alone a wooden tub. There was only a small pool indented into the floor.
This small pool couldn't even fit one of her feet, and the amount of water was minuscule. It didn't look like a place for bathing, more like a place for relieving oneself…
How was she supposed to take a bath with this…?
Just as Longyue was confused, Lin Fan's voice came from outside the bathroom:
"Do you see the handle-shaped switch on the wall? Just push that handle up, and water will come out."
"This Empress knows, don't come any closer!"
"Also! You are strictly forbidden from entering!"
Longyue rolled her eyes at Lin Fan outside the bathroom door, then followed his instructions and gently pushed the switch on the wall.
Instantly, a strong stream of water fell from the showerhead hanging on the wall.
"Aah!"
Too surprised, Longyue, who was standing under the showerhead, was instantly drenched.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the commotion, Lin Fan hurriedly opened the bathroom door. Longyue, who didn't know how to lock it, naturally hadn't locked the door, so it opened easily.
The door opened, and the first thing he saw was the completely drenched Longyue standing before him. Her wet clothes clung tightly to her body, highlighting her graceful and stunning figure. Her small, form-fitting dudou (undergarment) was faintly visible.
Lin Fan looked at Longyue awkwardly.
Longyue, too, stared blankly at Lin Fan who had suddenly opened the door. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
Longyue slowly lowered her head, looking at her almost completely exposed figure. Her beautiful face instantly flushed red. She clenched her delicate fists and let out a low roar:
"De! Mon! So! Ve! Reign! Just die!"
"Er… um, you carry on. I won't disturb you."
Seeing the situation was not good, Lin Fan awkwardly scratched his cheek. As various sink basins, shampoo bottles, and shower gels flew towards him, he hurriedly slammed the bathroom door shut.
I never expected a plot like this to happen to me…
Accompanied by Longyue's soft roar, the sound of objects hitting the door rose and fell.
After quite a while, the exhausted Longyue finally calmed down. Annoyed, she asked Lin Fan outside the bathroom:
"Demon King, may this Empress ask, can this door not be locked?"
In the past, she could casually set up barriers and boundary spells, so why would she worry about being seen while bathing?
Now, having lost all her magical power, if she couldn't even lock the door, she really didn't dare to bathe peacefully.
Who knows if someone would suddenly open the door and walk in while she was stark naked…
"Empress, there's a knob below the doorknob you can turn. Just twist it, and you can lock it."
Lin Fan explained, leaning outside the bathroom door.
Longyue walked over to the bathroom door and tried turning the knob. With a "Click," the door was locked from the inside.
After locking the bathroom door, Longyue finally let out a sigh of relief. She untied the silk sash around her waist, removed her immortal robe, and stood under the showerhead.
She turned the shower on again, and warm water began to flow.
As Longyue tilted her head back to enjoy the warm water rinsing her entire body, she asked curiously:
"Demon King, is this some kind of water-storing magic treasure?"
Because she had a perfect immortal body, she rarely bathed. Even when she did, she would soak in the Pool of Heaven. She had never washed her body like this, as if standing under the rain.
"It's not a magic treasure, it's just a water source led through pressurized pipes and then heated by a water heater."
"Turn the handle to the right, and the water gets cold. To the left, and the water gets hot. The middle is warm water."
"Indeed! The water temperature changes!"
Longyue followed Lin Fan's instructions and tried turning the handle left and right, surprised to find that the water temperature really changed as she turned the handle.
In the Immortal Realm, regulating the water temperature was effortless; one could change it at will using spiritual energy. But this was a human world without spiritual energy, yet they could regulate the water temperature so freely!
"Was this thing also invented by humans?"
"Of course. The Empress shouldn't underestimate human wisdom and creativity."
"This Empress knows…"
Longyue let out a small huff and grumbled with dissatisfaction.
Being told by the Demon King not to underestimate humans gave her a strange feeling.
Logically, those words should have been spoken by her, as someone on the righteous path…
"Empress, there are lotions in there specifically for cleaning your hair and body. You can use them as you please. I'm going to find a suitable set of clothes for you."
Lin Fan's voice came from outside the bathroom. Longyue curiously crouched down and picked up the shampoo and shower gel that she had just thrown. Coincidentally, she pressed the pump head, and shower gel immediately squirted all over her face.
She raised a hand to wipe the shower gel from her face, then carefully sniffed the shower gel on her hand, and her eyes instantly lit up.
"It smells so good!"
Longyue couldn't wait to rub the shower gel in her hand all over her body, creating a large pile of foam and having fun playing with them.
Outside the bathroom, Lin Fan waited for almost half an hour before finally being unable to resist knocking on the door.
"Empress, are you not done bathing yet? I've brought your clothes."
"I'm almost done! Turn your head the other way, and don't you dare turn back!"
Inside the bathroom, Longyue, while covering her body with a towel, carefully opened the bathroom door. After making sure that Lin Fan had his back to her, she quickly took the clothes from his hand through the gap in the door, then with a "Bam," slammed the door shut again.
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly.
This Empress was so cautious, as if he was desperate to see her…
Soon, the bathroom door opened again. Longyue, wearing a Pikachu pajama top and matching pajama pants, stepped out with her fine hair still dripping.
"Demon King… i-isn't this children's clothing?!"
Longyue, with a flushed face, questioned Lin Fan with dissatisfaction.
Although she didn't know what was printed on the clothes, its cute and ridiculous appearance felt very childish, like something only a little kid would wear.
"Mhm, doesn't it look quite nice?"
Lin Fan looked Longyue up and down, then nodded to himself in approval.
"Other clothes didn't seem to fit you, Your Majesty. This King feels this set is the most suitable. Just wear it for now."
"Doesn't the Empress think this is quite cute?"
"Yes, it's quite cute, but that word is not suitable for this Empress…"
Longyue's delicate brow slightly raised, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
If anyone from the Immortal Realm saw her like this now, she might genuinely look for a hole to crawl into…
If only she didn't have any other clothes to change into, she would never wear this outfit. It was too shameful!
