Shepherding The Scumbags [Quick Travel]

　　Xiaobai followed behind the palace attendants and was led inside by them. The route they took was completely different from the one he had taken before. Suddenly, Xiaobai heard the sound of flowing water. He looked forward and saw a courtyard surrounded by high walls, with the sound of water coming from inside.

　　The attendant walked to the door and pushed it half open.

　　Xiao Bai stood outside the door for a while. Xu Ling'an had already been sent back to the Marquis' Mansion by the people from the Prince's Mansion, but he still had to consider Xu Ling'an's safety.

　　This second prince is fundamentally different from the third prince. This man is ruthless and regards human life as worthless. Anyone who is not of the same kind as me must be killed.

　　He couldn't bet on Chu Yan's kindness, as the man didn't have much of that stuff. He stepped into the courtyard and the wooden door slowly closed behind him.

　　There seems to be a difference in temperature between inside and outside the yard. The further you go inside, the higher the temperature seems to be.

　　A house was built in the middle of the courtyard, with a door in the middle for entry and exit. At this time, the door was open and there was no one inside or outside.

　　Xiaobai walked over in silence and entered the house. As soon as he entered, his view suddenly opened up and the temperature rose significantly. The sound of gurgling water was heard, and the water flowed continuously from the lower part of the mountain wall into the bathing pool.

　　The whole room was a large living hot spring. Xiaobai stood by the pool, looking around for someone. Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis came from behind him. Xiaobai was about to turn around when a hand reached out from his back and pushed him forward.

　　With a splash, Xiaobai fell into the bathtub. He was completely unprepared and choked on the water. His throat felt like it was on fire and he struggled to stand up. As soon as his head left the water, a hand fell from his back again. Xiaobai's face sank into the water and the water invaded his body from all directions.

　　His eyes were irritated by the water and felt sore and painful. After struggling for a while, Xiaobai stood up again.

　　There was a sharp and explicit gaze beside him, as if he had already stripped off his clothes and was looking at him unscrupulously.

　　Xiaobai suddenly turned his head and found the culprit.

　　"Are you angry? I saved Lord Xu, you should be thanking me."

　　"Have you thought of something to say thank you for?"

　　"What does your highness want?" Xiao Bai asked directly, using honorifics to address the man, but his respect was gone.

　　"What does the king want? That's a good question. Of course you can afford it." Chu Yan's hand fell on Xiao Bai's face and stroked it gently with some hint. His fingertips traced the outline of Xiao Bai's cheek. Xiao Bai's clothes were soaked in water and stuck to his body. His waist was so thin that it seemed that if he used more force, it might be broken.

　　After hearing this, Xiao Bai took a step back and followed Chu Yan.

　　Not long after retreating, Xiaobai's back hit the pool wall. The man in front of him had a playful look on his face, as if he found it very interesting to tease Xiaobai like this.

　　"If I don't want to, what are you going to do?"

　　Chu Yan raised his lips, waved his hand and pointed to the door: "The door is open, you can leave at any time, but I'll remind you that you have to take three antidotes in a row to completely detoxify."
