Storm of Gods

Chapter 257 Confession
Celia rolled her eyes at the meddlesome Simmons, not at all shy, and even looked at Li Xin defiantly, "Brother Li, how do you want to wash it?"

"Cough cough, I can wash myself," Li Xin said. "Prepare more meat, I feel like I can eat a whole cow."

“Brother Li, come, I’ll take you inside,” Celia said seductively.

"Celtis, speak properly. We've been comrades-in-arms through thick and thin together." Li Xin was getting a little fed up. Simmons was right next to him, and she was talking as if they were having an affair. If they really were having an affair, that would be one thing.

"Oh, what did I say? Do you know where the base's bathrooms are?" Celia laughed. "Come on, I'll take you there."

"You two keep your showers simple, don't take an hour or two. The cafeteria should still have food available, I'll go get some," Simmons instructed.

Li Xin wanted to say that he could take a shower in three to five minutes, but something seemed off.

Celia took Li Xin to the base's bathroom. At this time, there was only cold water and no hot water. Simmons went to prepare food for the two of them. As they walked, Simmons felt that something was wrong. Why were the two of them taking a shower while he had to go and prepare food?
"Hehe, Angel Heart," Simmons, walking down the street, suddenly couldn't help but grin, revealing his big white teeth. "What a beautiful day!"

The base's bathroom was at the very back, a small space simply divided up, exclusively for the use of the Command Academy team members. There wasn't time to prepare showers, but the large buckets were full of water. Li Xin removed his armor piece by piece. Even after the battle, he still didn't feel exhausted. Thinking about this, Li Xin felt a bit cheated. He had eaten all of the very useful jam. He thought he should keep some bottles and jars in Mima Mustard Seeds in the future, just in case he needed to pick something up sometime.

My clothes were already tattered, and I lost a little more money. Back in the dungeon, mending was the norm, but now that the environment has changed, I can't mend them anymore. The water was lukewarm; in Heldan, it's usually around 30 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, so washing myself with it felt very refreshing. There was also a brush nearby to clean the stains off my body.

Of course, even with various procedures, there's no shower that a man can't do quickly if he wants to. Suddenly, a gasp came from next door, "Ah, Brother Li..."

Li Xin was taken aback. Celia had been scratched in the Holy Land. Could something have happened to her?

He quickly put on a change of clothes and rushed over. Looking at the door, Li Xin hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should go in, but then he heard the sound of a basin being smashed on the floor.

"Celtis, are you alright?"

"Something's wrong, I need help," Celia said, her voice trembling with pain. "The door's open."

"I'm coming in now. Get dressed." Li Xin said, pushing open the door and slowing his pace.

Celia sat on the ground in pain, wrapped in a large towel. There was a horrifying wound on her fair calf. She was cleaning the wound. During the battle, Li Xin thought it was not a big problem, but he did not expect it to be so serious. It looked like it had reached the bone.

“Help me tear off the bandage, clean it, and then reapply the medicine,” Celia said.

During the battle, the eldest daughter of the George family was really unpretentious, but after the battle, when the wound was reopened, it was incredibly painful, and she felt completely drained.

Li Xin nodded and helped Celia rinse with water. "Should we take her to the hospital?"

"It's just a superficial wound, there's no hidden power left, I can handle it myself, I'm a sorcerer," Celia said. "Dry it, apply the medicine, it's that purple bottle."

"Does it hurt?" "No, I'm not afraid of pain." Celia gritted her teeth, no longer looking at her wound.

Li Xin smiled. "Do you know what I'm afraid of?"

Celia was curious about what this person who dared to challenge an angel alone would be afraid of. In her heart, Li Xin had now completely surpassed Simmons.

"I'm afraid of being poor. I heard that a man's knees are worth gold, so once I gritted my teeth and knelt at home for a whole day until my skin was worn away, but I couldn't even find a piece of iron," Li Xin said helplessly.

Celia chuckled, and then Li Xin's medicine was applied. Instantly, Celia's smile vanished, and her eyes welled up with tears. "Li Xin!"

"Haha, you said you're not afraid of pain," Li Xin said, then skillfully bandaged Celia with clean strips of cloth. Awakened beings have much better physical constitutions than ordinary people, and if it were Simmons who suffered this kind of injury, Li Xin wouldn't have given it a second glance.

“You’re afraid of being poor, and I happen to be very rich. How about we become a couple?” Suddenly, Celia said boldly, looking at Li Xin with fiery eyes.

The women of Tianjing are reserved and demure, while the women of Herdan are passionate and unrestrained. At this moment, Celitia is only wearing a bath towel, with glistening water droplets still clinging to her fair shoulders. The towel slides down gently. Celitia is not voluptuous, but she is very well-proportioned and upright, her figure just the right size to be grasped. The young girl's graceful and soft figure is like a budding flower, and a delicate fragrance is refreshing.

Li Xin blinked. "Little girl, don't tease me. I like voluptuous and mature women, and I have a girlfriend. You can handle the rest yourself. If I stay any longer, I feel like Simmons will kill me."

This is going to be fatal! Knowing that his self-control was limited, Li Xin dared not look any longer and quickly left, closing the door behind him. He then rushed back to the bathroom, grabbed a large bucket of water, and poured it directly over his head.

Celia, watching Li Xin leave in a panic from the bathroom, blushed deeply. She was doomed; she'd been rejected. Celia covered her face, then released her pale hand after a moment, her eyes regaining their usual confidence. She wasn't one to fear setbacks.

A mature woman? ...Could she be that boss from Hextech Bird Company?

Celia looked at her own figure, pinched it with her hand, and couldn't help but feel a little itchy. It wasn't small, but Herdan's situation was indeed generally large, which was really infuriating. However, she still had room to grow, and it would get bigger sooner or later.

After tidying up, Li Xin changed into Heldan's casual clothes, which were mostly standard-sized robes. There were many in the base, provided for training and changing afterward. Even though Celia was injured, Li Xin waited outside. The feelings of young girls are beautiful, just the stirrings of youth. It's fine to refuse; there's no need to avoid it, as that would seem petty.

Celia didn't shower for long. At home, it would take her an hour or two, but at the base, it only took about half an hour. When she came out, she was a little surprised to find Li Xin waiting outside.

"Can you walk?"

"No, I want a hug." Celia actually let go; having already been rejected, what was there to be afraid of?

"I'm injured internally and can't carry you. Hurry up, I'm starving." Li Xin walked ahead, rubbing his stomach, while Celia pouted in annoyance.
