The moonlight shone brilliantly on the mountaintop, as if it were covered by a layer of snow. Beneath the cliff were a few boulders that sat in the gap between the mountains. The clear cool waters had now turned into a hot spring and white mist curled up from the water's surface, faintly revealing two blurry figures that were in the middle of a discussion.

Shu Yu had accomplished this by following Fu Wang's instructions, temporarily sealing the running water's gap before dipping her hands into the water to warm it up. Given that Fu Wang didn't care for these comforts, having soaked in a cold pool of water at night in his half demon form, Shu Yu couldn't help but to doubt that him teaching her how to do this was for her sake.

Fu Wang saw her through her thoughts and smiled silently. Every demon in the Meng Ze Realm knew that besides the Wing Clan who were particular about these, the fox clan demons also loved luxury and enjoyment.

Fu Wang could remain calm in the most difficult situations and live leisurely but he wasn't one to be harsh on himself. If possible, he would also treat himself better. He wasn't the kind of person that Shu Yu thought he was, someone that didn't care about anything. He also had the demon clan's selfish character of only loving himself, although that seems to have been shaken.

Shu Yu took off her red cloak and submerged herself into the water, her long and troublesome hair casually piled on top of her head and fastened into place with a random twig she had broken off. The water temperature was just right, nothing was better than soaking in a bath after a battle, she instantly felt healed. She could also adjust the water's temperature to her liking. Feeling happy with this new skill that she had gotten and being able to bathe in warm water from now on, she started humming and rubbing her feet.


She had wanted to let Fu Wang clean up first because he had gotten dirt all over his face but she herself was soaked in blood and probably seeing that she felt uncomfortable with the smell, Fu Wang had changed his mind and told her to wash up first. He sat near the bank and wiped his hands, feet and body. As for his back that he couldn't reach, he would wait for Shu Yu to help after she was done with her bath.

Shu Yu always listened to BOSS on these small matters so joyfully, she found a corner that was two meters away from Fu Wang to clean herself. Oh, right, as for more important matters, Shu Yu would usually reconsider what BOSS said before deciding that she should listen to him.

Fu Wang sat on a rock that slightly protruded out of the water. With his current height, his feet barely brushed the water's surface. He took off his torn clothes and set them by the bank before putting on a clean white silk garment that made him appear thinner than usual. The wounds on his body had reopened and beads of blood started to trickle so Fu Wang had to clean off the blood stain with a cloth before applying some medicine on it. The most serious injury was the one on his chest, a gaping wound.

Looking down, he untied the hastily wrapped bandages, cut off the skin that was hanging around the wound and cleaned it before applying medicine and binding it. Fu Wang did not make a sound as he did this so Shu Yu, who was wiping her neck with her back facing him, knew nothing about this. By the time she was done with her quick bath, Fu Wang was already sitting on the rock with most of his wounds cleaned up and was now bandaging a gash on his arm that he had gotten from a sharp stone while fleeing.

Shu Yu watched BOSS press down hard on his wound as if it wasn't his arm. She felt the pain just by watching him but BOSS seemed like he didn't feel any pain at all. Had he eaten something with anaesthetic properties that stopped him from feeling the pain?

Involuntarily, her eyes landed on Fu Wang's eyelashes. Condensation had formed into beads of water that hung from those long lashes. With every blink, the water droplets fell onto his white garment, leaving water stains and faintly revealing the flesh underneath.
