isturbed by others! I really want to give her a beating!" Xia Tian was somewhat angry. The reason he rushed back so urgently this time was exactly due to Yang Shan's involvement in this matter; otherw...Chapter 1209 Synchronized Swimming for Two
Even though it was nighttime, the lights beside the swimming pool and Xia Tian's exceptionally sharp vision allowed him to see everything clearly. Zhao Yujie was still wearing her swimsuit, but this time, instead of a more conservative one-piece suit, she wore a three-piece bikini that accentuated her perfectly curved figure almost entirely.
Zhao Yujie swam slowly in the water again, like a stunning mermaid. Her exceptionally long and proportionate legs would occasionally change their posture, adding an endless allure to her beauty.
Xia Tian was mesmerized by the sight and couldn't help but feel heated inside. Then, he spoke up, saying, "Demoness wife, there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it" Zhao Yujie asked nonchalantly as she swam in the water.
"I want to tell you that while I enjoy watching you swim, what I like even more is swimming with you." Xia Tian quickly undressed himself and jumped into the pool, swiftly reaching behind Zhao Yujie and wrapping his arms around her waist, like a sailfish.
"Pervert!" Zhao Yujie couldn't help but softly scold him. She knew this guy wouldn’t be as innocent as he appeared.
"Demoness wife, do you remember me telling you that skinny dipping is the most comfortable" Xia Tian's hand moved quickly over her body, "Let’s continue skinny dipping together."
Right after Xia Tian finished speaking, Zhao Yujie's swimsuit was already off her body. Then, they began synchronized swimming for two in the water, performing one difficult move after another. If there were a mixed-gender synchronized swimming event at the Olympics, their performance would undoubtedly win them the championship.
An hour later, Princess Samara, who couldn't sleep either, arrived at the rooftop swimming pool and joined the performance as well. Thus, the duet act turned into a trio.
Downstairs, the Imp muttered while playing on her computer, "Big Sister really has improved! She actually started singing a mixed version of 'Roof of the World' tonight!"
The next day,
Xia Tian was still sound asleep, hugging Big Demoness Zhao Yujie with his left hand and Little Princess Samara with his right. He slept until it was pitch dark outside and didn't wake up even in the afternoon. Eventually, he carried out his plan of sharing a bed with everyone, though there were slight changes to the original plan.
However, such blissful times weren't meant to last; at around one o'clock, Xia Tian was finally awakened by the sound of his phone ringing.
Xia Tian had no choice but to temporarily release Little Princess Samara from his embrace and pick up his phone. It turned out that it was Meier calling, so he immediately answered.
"Why aren't you here yet" Meier's slightly annoyed voice came through as soon as the call connected. "The group members participating in training and today’s patients are waiting for you!"
“Mei’er darling, were you also waiting for me” Xia Tian asked lazily.
"I wasn't waiting for you," Meier said with a huff.
"Oh, in that case, I won't go then." Summer yawned. "I'll continue sleeping."
"|Hey, what are you doing" Meiru was instantly annoyed. "What about those patients if you don’t come"
"They have nothing to do with me," said Summer casually. "If it were my wife Meiru waiting for me, then I would go."
"Don't you get bored doing this all the time" Meiru was slightly unhappy. "Anyway, hurry up and come! Otherwise, don’t bother coming to find me anymore!"
Clearly, Meiru had figured out Summer's tricks by now, so she didn’t want to waste her breath on idle chatter with him. With that said, she hung up the call.
After hanging up the phone, Summer pinched at the Fairy-Tier steamed bun first and then lowered his head to bite into the Demoness-Tier steamed bun for two mouthfuls, waking up the Great Demoness.
"No need. I'm still so sleepy," said the Great Demoness with a whine as she looked at Summer through half-open eyes before closing them again.
"Great Demoness wife, I’m heading to the Dark Group first. You can continue sleeping. Remember to tell Princess wife when you wake up that she doesn’t need to keep hiding here anymore." Summer said this very quickly.
"Understood," Zhao Yuki replied in a daze and soon fell back asleep, while over there, Princess Sama was still sound asleep as well.
The summer finally reluctantly bid farewell to the delicate legs and arms, got dressed, washed up, brushed his teeth, and quickly left the Fairy Retreat.
Outside the entrance of the Fairy Retreat stood a beautiful Taoist nun quietly—it was Gu Hanchuang.
Last night, Summer hadn’t let Gu Hanchuang follow him into the Fairy Retreat; he had simply told her to wait here. Afterward, Summer had been too engrossed in playing花樣遊泳with the Great Fairy to remember about Gu Hanchuang until now, when he suddenly realized that this maid had waited for him all night and through the morning.
"Little Frost, have you been standing here the whole time" Summer couldn’t help but ask. He remembered that when he entered the room last night, Gu Hanchuang was already in this position. Could she really have stood there motionless the entire night
"Yes, Young Master," replied Gu Hanchuang calmly as if it wasn't a big deal to her.
Summer muttered to himself that the maid truly followed his instructions obediently—too obediently, perhaps even unnaturally so.
In reality, Summer had asked Gu Hanchuang to always follow him not because he wanted someone beautiful by his side but because he didn’t entirely trust her. He needed Gu Hanchuang to assist him with other affairs while remaining under his complete control. Only then could he rely on her to help solve issues concerning other cultivators.
However, now that Gu Hanchuang always followed his instructions without question, Summer found it puzzling. Could it be because he had killed Zhuang Yundong for her that she was so obedient
The thing that frustrated Summer most was that he usually could tell when someone was lying to him. Yet, Gu Hanchuang seemed special; whether speaking or acting, she remained very calm, with no changes in either her emotions or heartbeat. Her behavior was completely consistent, making it impossible for him to discern if she was being truthful.
"No, I can't let her continue to act like she doesn't care about anything. She couldn’t possibly not care; otherwise, she wouldn’t have kidnapped the wife of a great demon and wouldn't be angry over Zhuang Yundong's betrayal. Now that Zhuang Yundong is dead, she should still want to live. Perhaps she just thinks she can't survive, so she acts like she doesn’t care anymore." Xia Tian thought silently in his heart. He began to feel he needed to change his approach and at least let Gu Hanchuang understand that following him would mean a good life for her. Only then could he rekindle the vitality in her seemingly deadened spirit and make her truly listen to him.
"Little Frost, shall I take you out for some food first" Xia Tian turned his eyes around; actually, he hadn't eaten dinner last night and had not eaten anything since. If Gu Hanchuang really hadn’t left all along, she should be in the same state as him.
"Yes, Young Master," replied Gu Hanchuang calmly, as if eating or not didn’t matter to her.
Of course, for a cultivator of her level, not eating for one day wouldn't have much effect on her. Just like Xia Tian, who was still energetic and lively despite his hunger from not eating last night—he had played various games with his two wives all night long.
"Come on, Little Frost, let me take you to eat some good food," chuckled Xia Tian as he grabbed Gu Hanchuang’s hand. He seemed to be taking advantage of the situation by touching her, but in fact, he was checking her physical condition. He discovered that she indeed hadn’t eaten anything all along, which suggested that she had really stood there motionless all night.
Initially, Xia Tian planned to eat at the Dark Squad base when he woke up, but now he changed his mind and brought Gu Hanchuang straight to a vegetarian restaurant known for its vegetable dishes.
"Little Frost, don’t you like vegetarian food The dishes here are quite delicious," said Xia Tian as he led her directly to an empty table. Only at this point did he release her hand, feeling somewhat frustrated—this girl really was like a puppet; she had walked the whole way with no change in emotion or heart rate. He started to wonder if she could be some kind of robot.
"Sir and Madam, what would you like to eat" A waiter approached them, holding a menu ready to hand it over to Xia Tian.
"Just bring us one serving of each dish," Xia Tian casually said.
"You want one of each" The waiter was taken aback, momentarily thinking he had misunderstood the order.
"That's right, I'll have a portion of everything." Xia Tian nodded affirmatively without hesitation.
"Certainly, sir. Please wait a moment." Without further ado, the waiter turned and left.
The vegetarian restaurant offered quite an array of dishes. Despite each dish being served in small portions, there were over a hundred different types, which was too much for just two people—unless they weren't ordinary individuals. After one hour, both the guests and waiters at the vegetarian restaurant were stunned by Xia Tian's incredible appetite. The towering stack of plates on his table left everyone marveling; not only could he eat an extraordinary amount but also skillfully pile up nearly a hundred plates!
Seeing Gu Hanshuang dressed like a Taoist nun, some people wondered if the two had just crawled out from somewhere deep in the mountains after centuries of fasting
"Little Frost, do you think these vegetarian dishes taste good" After finishing the last dish, Xia Tian asked Gu Hanshuang who had long put down her chopsticks.
“They’re delicious. Thank you, Young Master.” Gu Hanshuang replied.
“As long as you enjoy them, I can bring you here more often in the future." Satisfied with her answer, Xia Tian beckoned to the waiter, "Let's settle the bill."
"Sir, your total is 53,800 yuan. The boss offered a discount and will only charge 50,000 yuan." At this point, even the waiter felt somewhat embarrassed because she too thought the price was exorbitant.them."Director Shi, what should we do now""That's right, Director Shi, you must give us a resolution...""My legs hurt so much, who can help take me to the hospital...""Director Shi, who will pay for o...
