Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

However, in this island nation, only tatami mats are available.

But given the circumstances of the time, Lin Bei had no choice but to close his eyes and lie down.

However, as soon as the body touched the tatami, an indescribable sense of discomfort suddenly came from all directions.

Lin Bei's brows furrowed instantly, as if they were tied in a knot.

"Hmm? What does it taste like?"

A faint yet persistent sour smell, mixed with a faint rusty, bloody odor, was continuously seeping into his nostrils.

The smell made him feel very uncomfortable.

Lin Bei subconsciously assumed it was the musty smell accumulated from the long-term neglect of cleaning in the side room.

He got up again, his eyes searching the dimly lit room with a hint of helplessness.

But eventually his gaze returned to himself.

The tattered clothes were covered in dust, soaked with sweat and dried by the wind, and even had dark red dried bloodstains.

A look of realization dawned on his face.

He was covered in dust and sweat, and his body was stained with blood.

He had originally planned to take a shower first, but he forgot about it because he was distracted by Lady Rose's matter.

It was fine before, but now that he remembered it, Lin Beijue felt as if ants were crawling all over his body.

"Tsk, really..."

Lin Bei bent down and cursed.

I absolutely have to take a shower today, otherwise I won't be able to sleep a wink tonight.

So he pushed open the door to the side room and paced around the somewhat empty room, looking for a place that would catch his eye.

Lin Bei went through this turn.

Only then did I realize that although the house was small, it was complete in every way.

Soon, following a faint wisp of moisture, he pushed open a half-closed door.

The scene behind the door brought a hint of surprise to Lin Bei's eyes.

This appears to be a room specifically for bathing.

In the center of the room, a white enamel bathtub, which could be considered "luxurious" in today's context, sits quietly, radiating a warm luster.

Even more surprising was that the bathtub was already filled with hot water, and white steam rose from the surface like a thin veil, with a layer of bright red rose petals floating in it.

In the warm, humid air, the rich yet not cloying fragrance of roses permeates the air, mingling with the moisture to create a comfortable atmosphere that instantly relaxes people, allowing them to shed all their defenses and fatigue, gently enveloping everyone who steps into it.

"Huh? There's a bathtub?"

Lin Bei was indeed surprised.

In this era, Xiao Rizi has begun to come into contact with Western culture.

But a bathtub, especially in this seemingly remote mountainside house, is still a bit out of the ordinary.

But then she thought about it again, and realized that with Mrs. Rose's wealth, it wouldn't be difficult for her to afford a bathtub.

But compared to Lin Bei, I still want to say something.

"Corruption, utter corruption!"

Lin Bei gently shook his head.

A slight smile curved at the corners of his lips.

His voice carried a hint of reminiscence and emotion.

"Just as I expected!"

"No matter what world or era they live in, women are remarkably consistent, almost obsessive, in their pursuit of a comfortable and refined life."

"Especially beautiful women"

Lin Bei remembered his girlfriend from his previous life, a beautiful and sweet-voiced girl born in 2005.

On one occasion, the two of them went on a business trip to South Africa together.

It was a camp with conditions as harsh as a primitive tribe.

The stay is not expected to exceed two months.

His girlfriend, born in 2005, went to great lengths to install a flush toilet and a bathtub in that simple camp.

Putting aside the cost, although it wasn't cheap, it was still affordable for him given his income at the time.

It was only used a few times before being abandoned, because his girlfriend quit her job and ran away after less than half a month because of the poor conditions.

They broke up later.

The reason wasn't because Lin Jue couldn't endure hardship.

After all, everyone has the right to pursue a comfortable life.

But after that incident, he realized that the two of them had incompatible values.

In her youth, she believed in living for the moment.

But at the age of thirty, he longed for a stable future.

A huge ideological divide exists between the two.

Ironically, after he finally exhausted all his savings, took on a heavy mortgage, and bought a house in the big city...

He hadn't even had time to make his first monthly payment before the large sum of money was transferred to him.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.

Thoughts, like ripples on the water, slowly spread out and eventually return to calm.

Lin Bei shook his head, as if trying to completely forget these past events.

These memories are beginning to fade. People should focus on the present and not get trapped in the past.

Without further hesitation, he quickly stripped off his tattered clothes, which reeked of a strong odor and were stained with dark red blood and mud, and then plunged into a large bathtub that could fit three or four people.

As my whole body slowly immerses itself in the perfectly warm water.

Lin Bei couldn't help but let out a long and satisfied sigh from deep in his throat.

"Oh...that feels so good!"

The warm water instantly and gently enveloped his exhausted limbs and body, and every pore seemed to breathe and open joyfully.

The fatigue accumulated from days of travel and the tension in the muscles left by battle gradually faded away, leaving only an indescribable sense of relaxation.

"The difference between people is truly..."

Lin Bei leaned back against the smooth edge of the bathtub, feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation wash over him, his heart filled with countless emotions.

"I traveled a long and arduous journey, enduring wind and rain, and only when I reached the mountain where Urokodaki Sakonji lived in seclusion did I finally find some peace and quiet."

However, compared to Lady Rose...

He glanced at the delicate, glistening petals on the water's surface, the steam carrying the fragrance of roses.

"Even with these conditions, and having to hide in this remote mountain, they still managed to find such comfortable living conditions."

"This bathtub, this hot water, these flower petals..."

"That's really true..."

Lin Bei shook his head.

He couldn't find a more fitting word, and could only sigh in the end.

"Serves him right!"

In this extremely comfortable, safe, and private environment, the tension that had been taut for so long finally began to relax completely.

All the pent-up fatigue surged onto the shores of consciousness like a giant wave after the tide receded.

The warm water gently soothed every inch of his skin, and the fragrance of roses was like the most effective tranquilizer, refreshing and soothing.

This was the first time Lin Bei had truly felt complete relaxation of body and mind since arriving in this Demon Slayer world.

This long-lost, deep-seated sense of peace is like the gentlest and most effective lullaby.

This made Lin Bei's eyelids grow heavier and heavier.

His eyelids felt like they were filled with lead, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he sank into the warm darkness.

Lin Bei tilted his head slightly to one side, resting against the cool enamel edge of the bathtub. His breathing became even and long, and he slowly drifted off to sleep in the warm bathtub filled with the intoxicating scent of roses.

The steam continued to rise, refracting a hazy glow under the lights, while the vibrant petals floated quietly, swaying gently with the ripples on the water.

Only his steady, long breathing could be heard in the room.

However, just as Lin Bei fell into a deep sleep, a white hand slowly climbed up to Lin Bei's chest.
