Chapter 56
Li Xiaobai’s performance was too dominant, and Situ Kong was very afraid of retaliation. They were just ordinary people and could not fight against the big families.
“Grandfather, the young master is helping us,”
Situ Yanyu frowned, feeling that her grandfather was being too cautious.
“Indeed, we cultivators stand for justice and righteousness. When we see injustice, we roar and take action. Rest assured, I will help you resolve your troubles,”
Li Xiaobai said indifferently. From the moment he put on the mask, he had been following the path of his third senior brother, which was somewhat lifeless.
Wang Ergou was thrown out, and Ergouzi seemed very excited, bouncing into Li Xiaobai’s arms, burrowing into his chest.
Situ Yanyu’s heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed slightly. She felt that Li Xiaobai, with a mask, looked even handsomer than before, and he exuded an irresistible charm to women.
That proud nose, the eyes sharp as a hawk’s, coupled with his handsome looks and this lifeless yet melancholic temperament…
Strong, attractive, and charismatic—such a man was perfection…
“Cough cough!”
Situ Kong coughed twice on the side.
Situ Yanyu’s thoughts were interrupted. She immediately collected her thoughts, realizing she had lost her composure.
“May I know your esteemed name, young master?” Situ Yanyu asked.
“I am Ye Liangchen, and I am grateful for the lady’s righteous rescue.”
Li Xiaobai said with a hearty laugh. When one drifts through the martial world, it’s wise to use an alias to protect oneself.
Especially in theses unfamiliar lands, it would be better to change his appearance completely and start anew.
“So you are Young Master Liangchen. I am Situ Yanyu, and this is my grandfather, Situ Kong.”
Situ Yanyu’s smile was as blooming as flowers, and the more she looked at Li Xiaobai, the more pleasing she found him.
“Cough cough, the old man pays his respects. Thank you, Young Master Liangchen, for lending a hand,”
Situ Kong said with a fist cupped salute. Li Xiaobai’s cultivation was unfathomable, and he too did not dare to offend him.
“Hehe, it was nothing. By the way, do you have any abandoned buildings in the yard?”
Li Xiaobai glanced around the environment. This place where the grandfather and granddaughter lived was not small; there were a lot of empty houses, which were very suitable for a bathhouse.
“There’s a firewood shed. Yan Yu, go and clean it out for Young Master Liangchen.”
Situ Kong led Situ Yanyu to a room full of dust.
The room clearly hadn’t been maintained in years, probably two or three years since anyone last entered, with cobwebs everywhere. Pushing the door open, dust, and debris fell in flurries.
Situ Yanyu found a broom in the corner and intended to sweep up a bit.
Li Xiaobai quickly stepped forward to stop them: “There’s no need for the two of you to do this. I can take care of it.”
“How could we impose such a thing on you?”
“Hehe, it’s just a small matter.”
Joking, with so much dust, manual cleaning would only make things dirtier. He had shop items to assist him, there was no need for such primitive cleaning methods.
[Vacuum: It can suck in anything. The more Spirit Stones injected, the higher the grade, the more powerful the vacuum. (1000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones).]
Note: The vacuum should be cleaned regularly.
Purchase!
This device was much faster than manual cleaning, but the only downside was that it used Spirit Stones as fuel.
It was quite expensive to operate.
After asking them to step back, Li Xiaobai inserted a Lower Grade Spirit Stone to test its effectiveness.
Upon turning on the vacuum, the dust and objects in the room surged toward the device. Everything that came near it shrank and was sucked into it.
The storage of the vacuum was essentially a vast Space Ring containing a vast space, where all the sucked-in items were stored.
The room was almost instantly tidied. Li Xiaobai laughed heartily and inserted two more Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
The suction power increased immensely, and in almost an instant, all the furnishings in the room were pulled straight into the vacuum.
After a few breaths had passed,
the room was spotless, not only was the dust gone, but not even a small teacup remained.
Looking at the empty house, Situ Kong felt a desire to cry but had no tears; damn, the cleaning was too thorough, at least you should have left the bed!
Situ Yanyu was also dumbstruck, “Is this the method of a great power? Every gesture and motion is filled with Great Divine Skills, it’s so impressive.”
“Hehe, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning.”
Li Xiaobai waved his hand, walked into the empty room, and began preparing to build the bathhouse.
He spent a Lower Grade Spirit Stone to exchange for a heap of building materials in the market.
Due to space limitations, he was still constructing a simple version of a bathhouse; enclosing the area would suffice.
Situ Yanyu and Situ Kong stared at the scene inside the room with surprised faces, quite puzzled.
“Young Master is building a pool?”
“Why is that?”
“This is the Tangneng First-class, a soaking technique. Submerging oneself in the pool not only nourishes the skin and enhances beauty but also slightly increases one’s cultivation level.”
“Cultivating in this bathhouse is greatly beneficial, would Miss Yanyu like to give it a try as well?”
Li Xiaobai said with a smile, as soaking in the bath with a beauty was of course the most comfortable thing.
“No…no need.”
Upon hearing this, Situ Yanyu’s pretty face turned red, and she turned and ran out as if flying.
Situ Kong, hearing that the bathhouse could actually improve cultivation level, had his eyes filled with curiosity and looked a bit lascivious.
“Hehehe, if Young Master Liangchen doesn’t mind, this old man would be willing to soak together with Young Master Liangchen.”
…
Half an hour later.
“Hiss!”
“This pool is truly miraculous; soaking in it, my cultivation level that has been stagnant for years has actually grown, it’s unbelievable!”
Situ Kong’s face was flushed with excitement and ecstasy.
Any cultivator who had given up hope on advancing would be uncontrollably excited if suddenly presented with an opportunity to progress.
However, the one who should have been uncontrollably excited was supposed to be the beautiful and moving Situ Yanyu, not an old geezer.
Looking at the jubilant Situ Kong, Li Xiaobai felt a kind of lifeless feeling; he hadn’t expected the old man to actually have the gall to soak inside and once in, the old man stayed for nearly half an hour, showing signs of wanting to sleep there tonight.
The feeling of soaking in a bath with a septuagenarian was really weird.
This was not the kind of romantic encounter he had in mind.
[Attribute Points +10…]
[Attribute Points: 2000.]
Add it all to defensive power.
[Defensive Power: Indestructible Golden Body Fifth Stage (9000/50000) ready for advancement.]
[Status: Blood Demon Corrosion (Severe).]
The simple version of the bathhouse was still too low-end, as it increased Attribute Points far too slowly. To gather enough Attribute Points to advance his defensive power, it might take quite a long time.
He needed to eliminate the negative status in the shortest time possible.
He needed to find a proper site to build a proper bathhouse.
“Old man, you keep soaking, I’ll take a walk. Meanwhile, I’ll set up a bathhouse for your granddaughter too.”
“Hmm, the empty room on the west side is quite suitable, be gentle, Yan Yu’s constitution isn’t very strong.”
