The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 69 - : 69. Wipeout Engine?

Chapter 69: 69. Wipeout Engine?

If Fang Zhou knew what Han Li was thinking, he’d probably not know whether to laugh or cry.

He was unguarded because of habits leftover from his past life, and besides, Han Li’s behavior was very normal without any signs of being infatuated.

Besides, it’s not a big deal for a man to be seen naked; it’s not like he can get pregnant.

After adding hot water, Fang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and turned to thank Han Li: “Thanks, I’d really have frozen to death without your help.”

Han Li shook her head but did not leave after pouring the water, instead asking, “Sir…”

Fang Zhou interrupted her: “Stop calling me ‘sir’. You’ve saved me a few times too; we’re even now. Calling me ‘sir’ is too formal, just call me by my name.”

Fang Zhou already considered Han Li as a friend he could associate with. Her character was impeccable, her values aligned with his, and most importantly, her potential was enormous and her luck was good. If he hadn’t met Xiao Yan before, Fang Zhou might have thought Han Li was the world’s destined heroine, the main character of this universe.

Such a powerful future ally, if not to cultivate a good relationship with now, then when?

Previously, Fang Zhou always felt that he couldn’t rely on others and needed to be self-reliant and strong. But after the dangerous situation in Lanruo Temple, he realized that it’s right to be self-reliant, but there’s nothing wrong with holding onto a few strong legs; at critical moments, it can save your life.

At the same time as being self-reliant, one must also strive to hold onto those legs, and if there’s no opportunity to hold on, create one.

You have to walk with both legs, grab with both hands, both hands must be strong, that’s the right path.

Seeing Fang Zhou allowing her to call him by his name, Han Li felt a slight joy in her heart.

Although she felt a bit inferior in front of Fang Zhou, thinking that she, a dark-skinned girl, was not a match for a white, wealthy, and noble disciple like Fang Zhou, and maintained politeness in their daily interactions, she couldn’t help fantasizing about being closer to him.

Now that Fang Zhou let her call him by his name, it was clear proof that their relationship had taken a step further.

Han Li initially thought that coming to Lanruo Temple had been a loss, not finding the Secret Treasure and instead losing a lot of good items.

But at this moment, she felt the trip had been worthwhile.

On impulse, Han Li blurted out, “Do you want me to scrub your back?”

After saying it, she instantly regretted it, fearing that this action would annoy Fang Zhou and reverse the progress of their budding relationship.

When Fang Zhou heard this, his body stiffened slightly.

What’s this situation?

According to the customs of this world, it’s like a dark-skinned boy offering to scrub the back of a white and wealthy beauty during her bath, totally overstepping boundaries, and likely to get his legs broken for it.

Fang Zhou himself didn’t mind, but if he refused, it would be awkward for both of them. If he accepted, it could look like he was selling his charms.

Han Li regretted it secretly and was about to apologize to Fang Zhou when she heard him say in a conflicted voice, “Well… that would be great, thanks.”

Han Li felt a jolt throughout her body, he agreed?

Then a surge of joy mixed with disbelief filled her heart. Could it be that Fang Zhou is also interested in me? Otherwise, why would he agree to such an excessive request?

Lost in her wild thoughts, Han Li licked her lower lip, picked up the bath towel beside her, and stretched her “devil’s claws” towards Fang Zhou’s smooth back, gently wiping.

She held her breath, her touch was as gentle as if she was wiping a delicate piece of porcelain, fearing that one careless move could break it.

Yet, while scrubbing, she couldn’t help but use her fingertips to lightly touch Fang Zhou’s skin, as if caressing it.

Fang Zhou felt a bit awkward, feeling as if he was at a spa where the attendant insisted on washing him, an utter impropriety.

The atmosphere turned somewhat oppressive, and Fang Zhou couldn’t help but break the silence, asking, “What were you about to say to me just now?”

Regaining her composure, Han Li hastily responded, “First… ahem, Fang Zhou, I was wondering, when will Senior Ling come back? She shouldn’t have run into any trouble, right?”

Fang Zhou and Han Li managed to escape Lanruo Temple primarily due to both exerting their utmost abilities, narrowly evading death in the process. Objectively though, it was Ling Xiaoyue who directly engaged the Tree Demon. If the Tree Demon had been free, no matter how powerful they were, escaping would have been impossible.

Han Li felt profoundly grateful to Ling Xiaoyue, so much so that she began to worry about her safety after their escape.

“Don’t worry, she should be fine. As for when she’ll return, that’s anyone’s guess.”

Fang Zhou wasn’t overly concerned about Ling Xiaoyue’s safety. After rescuing him from Li Ruyu, she immediately whisked him away, fearing retaliation from Xuanji Sect.

If real danger arose, Ling Xiaoyue was sure to flee faster than anyone else.

Moreover, Fang Zhou still had the Tree Demon Golden Core which he had obtained, even swallowed, after Ling Xiaoyue brazenly confronted the Tree Demon. According to Yan Chixia, the Tree Demon was no longer a threat and shouldn’t be able to harm her.

The two conversed briefly, recounting their respective experiences after separating in Lanruo Temple.

Hearing that Fang Zhou had received Yan Chixia’s inheritance, Han Li was genuinely delighted for him. She showed no envy or jealousy, knowing she possessed the mystery-packed small bottle that would benefit her for a lifetime.

However, when Fang Zhou learned that the group of rogue cultivators who hassled Han Li had all perished, his expression grew peculiar.

Previously in Black Jiao Cave, Han Li’s adventure ended with everyone but her and two weaklings meeting their demise. This time in Lanruo Temple, it was once again a total wipeout with only her and Fang Zhou escaping, plus Ling Xiaoyue.

She was like a calamity engine, with every adventure ending with the demise of her companions and just herself escaping.

Fang Zhou even felt some relief that he had split up with Han Li midway; otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

This little sister had a knack for defeating her teammates. Terrifying, indeed.

As Fang Zhou was experiencing after-the-fact shivers, Han Li had finished wiping his back and shoulders. Looking down, her heart involuntarily started pounding.

Should she… go further?

If she continued downward and Fang Zhou didn’t object, it would mean he completely let his guard down around her, and tonight could culminate in something more.

But if he did object, he would definitely think she was overstepping, ruining all the good impressions built thus far.

Han Li felt as if she was facing a monumental life decision, her forehead beginning to sweat with the tension.

Eventually, it was Fang Zhou who came to her rescue: “Thank you. I’ll take care of the rest myself.”

Han Li exhaled a deep sigh of relief, reluctantly stepping away to leave the room.

She patted her face, shooing away the jumbled thoughts, reasoning with herself that there was no need to rush; a strong relationship would yield plenty of opportunities in the future.

Ensuring the door was firmly closed behind her, Han Li couldn’t resist bringing her fingers to her nose for a stealthy sniff, then breaking into a smile.

(╯▽╰) So fragrant~~

Inside the room, Fang Zhou also let out a deep breath. Though his back was turned, he could sense Han Li’s hesitations.

It seemed she too was struggling with temptation, fortunately restraining herself, preventing any unpleasant incidents.
