"this…"

Shimamura Uzuki hesitated.

Bathing with a man was the most "outrageous" thing she had ever done since she was a child.

Just thinking about it was enough to make her feel hot all over.

But what Wei Ming said is right, going out now is too risky.

She secretly looked up, and through the mist, she could not see Weiming at all, only a vague outline.

"I...I understand..."

He nervously gripped the bath towel in the water.

Wei Ming chuckled and easily changed the subject.

"Maoyue, is it alright to call you that?"

"Um…"

"You're known for your energy and charisma among the current Cinderellas, right?"

He paused, then said with a hint of appreciation, "You were really energetic when you sang just now."

Being praised so directly made Shimamura Uzuki blush even more, but the tension in her heart seemed to dissipate a little.

"Thanks…"

She thanked him softly, her body still tense, but at least she was no longer trembling like a leaf.

And so, a peculiar scene unfolded amidst the misty water vapor.

On one side was Weiming, leaning against the edge of the pool, looking completely at ease, occasionally raising his hand to splash water, his gaze casually falling on the coconut trees in the distance.

On the other side was Shimamura Uzuki, huddled in a corner, with only her head showing and her body stiff.

The two were several meters apart, yet they were enveloped by the same warm spring water and thick mist.

Silence spread in the air.

Only the faint sound of spring water flowing and the distant, indistinct chirping of birds could be heard.

Shimamura Uzuki secretly observed Mimei.

It was discovered that he hadn't done anything inappropriate; he seemed to be simply enjoying his bath.

She gradually relaxed a bit, but her curiosity resurfaced.

"that…"

Unable to resist speaking, her voice barely audible, she asked, "Boss, you're up so early?"

"Hehe, actually I didn't sleep at all." Wei Ming shook his head and chuckled.

"Eh?"

Shimamura Uzuki was somewhat surprised.

She was about to say something more when footsteps and voices suddenly came from outside the bath.

"Rin-chan, are you sure there's an open-air bath here? It feels amazing!"

A lively voice rang out, carrying a distinct Kansai accent.

"You idiot, Wei Yang! Keep your voice down!"

Another slightly cold voice followed closely behind.

“Stasia and the others are still asleep, but… this is definitely the place, it’s marked on the map.”

"It's Rin and the others!!!"

Shimamura Uzuki's face turned deathly pale in an instant!

Why are they here?!

She instinctively wanted to dive into the water.

"Don't get agitated, they can tell which side is the men's bath and which side is the women's bath," Wei Ming comforted her.

Just as he said, the two didn't get close at all; the footsteps were going in another direction.

Only when the footsteps and laughter faded into the distance did Shimamura Uzuki finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, she was so nervous that she almost collapsed in the water.

Patting his chest with lingering fear, he looked towards the unknown direction, filled with gratitude: "Th-thank you..."

"Heh, you're not going to make it either. Fine, I'll stop here."

Wei Ming stood up, water droplets sliding down his well-defined muscles.

It shimmered in the morning light.

He walked to the edge of the pool, picked up a towel and dried himself, his movements calm and unhurried, as if the danger he had just experienced was just a minor incident.

"!!!"

Shimamura Uzuki was startled by her actions.

Realizing he was about to leave, her cheeks flushed again.

She secretly watched Weiming's retreating figure.

He is tall and upright with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding a sense of power yet maintaining elegance.

As her vision gradually cleared through the fog, she quickly looked away.

"I'll go check on it for you, just a moment."

Under the tense gaze of Shimamura Uzuki, Miki walked toward the gate.

He returned a moment later.

"Alright, there's no one outside, you can leave now."

He whispered, "Thank you, Boss Weiming."

"Please don't tell anyone about what happened today!"

"rest assured."

Weiming turned his back, put on his yukata, and tied his sash.

"I have always respected girls' secrets."

He paused, then added, "But don't be so confused next time; you can't always be this lucky."

After saying that, he didn't linger and turned to leave the bath.

All that remained was the rising mist and Shimamura Uzuki standing motionless in the water.

As she watched his figure disappear behind the bamboo curtain, her heart was still pounding.

The experience just now was like a thrilling dream.

The boss is really handsome and has a great sense of humor.

Like a gust of wind that suddenly entered her world, it came and went quickly, but left an indelible mark on her heart.

She took a deep breath and cautiously peeked out.

After confirming that no one was around, she hurriedly left the bathhouse with a flushed face.

Meanwhile, Weiming was walking back along the path.

A playful smile played on his lips. Shimamura Uzuki was quite an interesting girl.

However, his attention was soon drawn to something new.

[Ding! Chat group member Shana has been detected to have come into contact with abnormal apocalyptic factors!]

His eyes narrowed.

It's a notification from the chat group.

"Shana?"

Shana's consciousness surged wildly in the deathly silence.

His limbs felt as if they were made of lead, and even his eyelashes couldn't tremble in the slightest. Only his crimson pupils could move in vain.

In my field of vision, there is dust floating among the broken walls and ruins, the Crimson World Demon King Shabrak lying on the ground convulsing, and the man beside Shabrak.

The icy aura emanating from him was like an invisible shackle, freezing time and space.
