Chapter 13723 I didn’t see anything

Ling Xiao shuttled rapidly through space, and with the help of the mysterious power of teleportation, he returned to the inn where he had lived before.

He knew very well that the most dangerous place was often the safest place. In this crisis-ridden situation, no one else could have predicted that he would return to this seemingly ordinary but mysterious inn.

Besides, Ling Xiao had already made thorough preparations for this place. He carefully set up an extremely secret teleportation array in the room where he lived.

Once he sensed danger, he could activate the teleportation array at any time and escape quickly, making it impossible for anyone to track him. However, when Ling Xiao passed through the teleportation array and stepped into the room, the scene in front of him stunned him instantly.

The room was filled with steam. A huge wooden bathtub was placed in the middle of the room. The curling steam filled the entire room like a veil, covering the scene inside the bathtub vaguely. In the bathtub, a beautiful woman was bathing comfortably.

Amid the steam, the charming figure of the beauty is vaguely revealed, with a slender neck and graceful shoulders, all of which make people fantasize.

You can vaguely see that this beauty has outstanding looks, with skin as white and delicate as snow. The most eye-catching thing is the strange red mole between her eyebrows, which is like a plum blossom proudly blooming in the snow, adding a bit of mysterious and unique charm to her face.

Looking closely, the water in the wooden barrel was dark brown in color, completely different from ordinary water. There were also some tiny herbal residues floating on the surface, giving off a strong and unique medicinal fragrance.

If you smell it up close, you can tell that it is mixed with various rare and precious medicinal materials such as thousand-year-old ginseng, deep-sea ambergris, Tianshan snow lotus, etc. These medicinal materials are all rare treasures in the world of cultivation. Ordinary people would be ecstatic if they could get even one of them.

Obviously, this is not ordinary water for bathing, but a precious medicinal bath that is carefully prepared and specially used for cultivation or healing.

Relying on his keen perception, Ling Xiao instantly realized that this beauty's physical condition was extremely bad.

Her breath was weak and disordered, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time. Her body exuded a faint aura of decay. All signs indicated that she seemed to have suffered a very serious trauma and was trying to recover her vitality with the help of this precious medicinal bath.

Just as Ling Xiao was thinking to himself, the woman in the bathtub seemed to sense the danger and stood up suddenly. Her originally jade-white hands instantly condensed a layer of faint spiritual light, and she was obviously subconsciously about to attack Ling Xiao.

Her eyes were full of vigilance and hostility, like a wounded but still ferocious beast.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I advise you to put on your clothes first. If you act rashly like this, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your injuries."

At this moment, the beauty was so nervous and panicked that she completely forgot that she was taking a bath. She was completely exposed to Ling Xiao without any protection.

Ling Xiao's eyes unconsciously swept over the beauty's figure. He had to admit that the woman in front of him was absolutely beautiful. Her perfect body proportions and fair and smooth skin, set against the misty water vapor, were like a beautiful painting.

But Ling Xiao is not a vulgar person who is obsessed with beauty. In this dangerous world, he has his own survival rules. He knows very well that in this ever-changing situation, closing his eyes is equivalent to giving up vigilance and seeking death.

The woman opposite was not only a woman, but also a powerful warrior. Given her current state, if she sensed that Ling Xiao was slacking off at all, she would most likely attack him in an instant and put him to death.

"Don't close your eyes!" The woman's voice was sharp and angry, with a hint of shame, and she quickly shrank into the water, revealing only her angry face. Ripples appeared on the water, and the strong smell of medicine became stronger.

"I don't have that habit!" Ling Xiao looked indifferent, his tone as calm as a bottomless cold pond, and he said slowly: "In my eyes, everything in the world is illusory, and you are nothing more than a skeleton in red powder."

His eyes were firm, without any evasion, staring straight at the woman, as if he wanted to see through her appearance and into her heart.

The woman was so angry that she trembled all over when she heard this. Her face, which was already slightly pale due to the injury, became even gloomier, like the dark clouds before a storm. She gritted her teeth, and the anger in her heart almost swallowed her up.

However, Ling Xiao did not feel guilty at all because of the woman's anger. Instead, he looked stern and asked coldly, "Who are you and why are you bathing in my room? This is not a place for you to act wildly."

The woman probably never expected that Ling Xiao not only looked at her directly without any hesitation, but also questioned her in return. This made her a little overwhelmed for a moment. The anger and doubts in her heart intertwined, causing her to fall into a brief silence.

"It's okay, put on your clothes first and then explain to me!" Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, with an unquestionable indifference in his eyes, and spoke slowly, as if the tense scene before him was just a common occurrence to him.

After a pause, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of teasing smile, and then continued: "Or, if you don't want to get dressed, you can just sit there and explain. Anyway, the fog in this room is so thick that I can't see anything."

In fact, although the diffuse water vapor added a hazy feeling to the room, it could not hinder Ling Xiao's keen perception at all. He just said this deliberately to test the reaction of the mysterious woman in front of him.

"You bastard!" When the woman heard Ling Xiao's words, she was like a powder keg that had been lit, and she instantly became furious. Her cheeks, which had already turned red due to anger, were now even redder than ripe tomatoes, and her eyes were wide open, almost spitting fire.

In a rage, she leaped upwards like lightning, her slender arms drawing a sharp arc in the air, accurately pulling a sheet from the nearby bed.

Then, she wrapped her whole body tightly at an extremely fast speed, her movements were done in one go, like a well-trained dancer performing an intense performance.

However, her anger did not subside. After wrapping her body, she gathered the remaining spiritual power around her without hesitation, shouted delicately, and used her right palm, with a powerful airflow, to slam straight into Ling Xiao, as if she wanted to eat Ling Xiao alive.

Ling Xiao looked at the woman's aggressive attack, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. He was not in a hurry, and the corner of his mouth still had that faint smile. His figure flashed lightly like a ghost, and he was like a feather falling in the wind, easily avoiding the woman's attack. (End of this chapter)
