"System," she murmured contentedly. "Play some relaxing background music. Maybe 'Bamboo Flute in the Rain'."
[System: Playing 'Bamboo Flute in the Rain'.]
The soft, melodic notes drifted through her mind. Ji'an smiled, rubbing the rich lather into her scalp. This was the life a Young Master of her lever should have!
She would soak for an hour, sneak back to the kitchen, make a midnight snack for Wangchen, and call it a day.
She was just about to rinse the suds from her face when the music stopped abruptly.
SCREECH.
A sound like a tornado siren ripped through her skull.
[WARNING! WARNING!]
[CRITICAL ALERT!]
[Target: Xie Wangchen.]
[Blackening Value Spiking: 40%... 55%... 68%!]
[Rate of Increase: VERTICAL.]
"Gah!"
Ji'an jerked upright in shock. Her hands slipped. The bar of soap shot out of her grip like a projectile.
A wave of suds cascaded down her forehead, straight into her open eyes, up her nose, and into her mouth.
"Pfft! Cough! Ack!"
