YM778.TV Chapter 267: Zhang Mei and hot springs [I]
Moreover, there was no air at all, as if someone had deliberately removed it. Even the Qi was so poor that one might think this place was its own space with individual laws within.
Zhang Mei stepped forward and, in a few steps, found herself where Liu Yang, Yu Longfeng, and the Sect master of the Resting Eagle had gathered. They looked at the lone figure sitting in the lotus position in the air with a complex expression.
"Well… this territory won\'t recover even after a thousand years. What a waste of land…" sighed the Sect master of the Resting Eagle, surveying the surroundings.
Perhaps that was why his expression was so complex. After all, these territories once belonged to him, and now… unfortunately, there was little left of use.
"You sure know how to make a ruckus," Zhang Mei said, appearing behind Xie Qing. The hem of her robe fluttered in the wind, and her indifferent face was slightly furrowed. "You and your Master are like one entity. Always causing trouble."
Xie Qing opened his eyes, which flashed for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Mei with a hint of confusion.
"And what am I guilty of? Besides, I just got rid of an enemy," he replied rather carelessly.
"…"
This speech made Zhang Mei\'s eyebrows furrow, while Liu Yang chuckled softly. The Sect master of the Resting Eagle averted his gaze and sighed, muttering, "They are indeed two peas in a pod…"

Xu Mei smiled and leaned on her Disciple, gently caressing his face. Zhang Mei, watching this, could only angrily purse her lips.
"He should be scolded, not praised. Because of him, the already barren territories have become uninhabitable…"
"Who cares. It\'s just a piece of land, why the drama? Stop acting like a frigid bitch, give my Disciple some praise," Xu Mei snorted in response.
"Bitch, you\'ve really lost your mind…" Zhang Mei gritted her teeth, snorted, turned away in offense, and left.
"Hmph!"
Xu Mei didn\'t even pay attention to her departure, and Xie Qing said nothing. In fact, he was too absorbed in groping his Master\'s butt… something in his spirit.
The woman didn\'t mind – on the contrary, as if encouraging him, she wiggled her buttocks, and a sweet and playful smile played on her cherry lips. Her gentle hands felt Xie Qing\'s muscles, which were as hard as stone. Especially the sensation of a certain hard thing, even through thick clothing, was too exciting for Xu Mei.
So it\'s no surprise that a few minutes later, they returned to the room and started kissing each other, and then immediately undressed. Zhang Mei, who stood in the corridor and witnessed their passion, silently closed the door with red ears.
Then she ran away, covering her face.
"What shamelessness! And they\'re not even engaged! What nonsense!"
…she sounded like stereotypical grandmothers, but considering her age, more like a great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.

Xie Qing sighed refreshingly. He left his room while Xu Mei slept peacefully on his bed. The woman was satisfied enough to sleep contentedly.
The man himself was a bit tired. After all, this time Xu Mei didn\'t lower her cultivation level and didn\'t reduce her own endurance. Because of this, the sex was like training.
Sweating profusely, the man initially wanted to get rid of the sweat in the usual way – by using a technique, but today he felt like taking a bath. They say that especially for high-ranking officials, of which he is one, there is an opportunity to relax in hot springs.
"Although, this is a bit unfair to the other cultivators who are now fighting… but what can you do, that\'s life," Xie Qing thought and entered the men\'s locker room, taking off all his clothes.
He approached the mirror – it was installed for unknown reasons and was so high that even Xie Qing could see himself fully. And, to be honest, he himself was amazed.
"Wow. I didn\'t know my body looked like this," he thought with a hint of surprise.
Pure, white skin without any flaws. Beautiful, balanced musculature that was toned and pleasant to the eye. Although one might think he was a wimp because of his robe, in reality, his body was muscular and powerful.
"Hm."
Smirking, Xie Qing began to pose in front of the mirror – not even knowing why he did it. Every time he moved, his developed muscles stood out, and objectively, he looked very attractive.
And while he was lost in thought, the door to the locker room suddenly opened. The man reacted too late, as he was too busy admiring his abs, but he was distracted by someone\'s hiccup.
"Huh?"
Turning his head, he looked at the entrance and saw…
"Lady Zhang Mei?"
Xie Qing tilted his head to the side. He felt no embarrassment, nervousness, or anything similar. Rather, he was puzzled. His face said: "What is she doing here?"
Zhang Mei froze in place, like a deer seeing a high-speed cultivator on a sword approaching. Then, a sound like words came from her mouth.
"I-I-... um…"
"Hm? Did you forget something? By the way, I remind you, this is the men\'s locker room, so if you made a mistake, you can leave through that exit to avoid misunderstandings," Xie Qing politely said and pointed to the black exit meant for staff.
"I-I…"
Zhang Mei trembled, not knowing what to say. Her violet eyes darted around the room but mostly stopped at the area below Xie Qing\'s waist.
"…"
The man smiled bitterly. He pretended not to see her gaze. He suddenly remembered his Master and their first night, when suddenly…
"Ah?!"
A surprised gasp sounded, and Xie Qing shuddered, coming to his senses. He looked at Zhang Mei in confusion, who was now openly staring at his member. Then he looked down himself.
And then he cursed.
"Fuck."
The dragon proudly looked at the Heavens, as if it held the whole world in its hands. Under normal circumstances, Xie Qing would be proud of his little brother, but the situation was different now.
"…So, did you need something?" he continued with a forced smile. Now even he felt awkward.
Zhang Mei sighed and averted her gaze – although it was difficult for her. Then, with a voice that sounded hoarse, she said:
"Actually… the women\'s baths are currently closed due to some minor repairs. So only the men\'s bath is open. And I have already informed the staff in advance."
"Oh? Now that I think about it, I didn\'t see any staff, so I thought it was normal here," Xie Qing suddenly remembered and, taking a bath towel, wrapped it around his waist, covering the jade rod.
"Eh…"
The man fell silent. He could swear he just heard a disappointed sigh. Then, he slowly turned to Zhang Mei.
"If you want, I can leave and wait until you finish. I\'m not in a hurry anyway," he said, trying to resolve the terribly awkward situation.
Zhang Mei fell silent, and then she said:
"No… we can bathe together. After all, the hot springs are large…"
"Excuse me?" Xie Qing asked in confusion and, seeing her embarrassed look, felt as if something in his brain had cracked: "She… can be embarrassed? This is the first time I\'ve seen her emotional database updated with new emotions…"
And not knowing how to react to this proposal, Xie Qing simply nodded. He was too tired.
***
"Aaah…"
Immersing himself in the warm water, Xie Qing instantly felt all the fatigue from his mortal body disappear, and a sense of calm filled his heart.
"How nice. If I had known it would be so pleasant, I would have come here long ago," he thought and stretched his legs: "But…"
Xie Qing shifted his gaze. Next to him, at a distance of two outstretched arms, sat Zhang Mei with her usual cold face. She was completely wrapped in a bath towel that covered her from her knees to her collarbone.
"Quite… awkward," he thought and averted his gaze. There was a slight awkwardness in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, Xie Qing would feel excited or something similar. After all, next to him was such a beautiful woman. But Zhang Mei was different.
Despite her beauty, she had a rather cold personality and did not allow any man to be near her.
So initially, Xie Qing had no thoughts about her. Rather, he considered her simply a great person with quirks.
And now, this great person was bathing with him, and the only thing covering her body was a thin bath towel.
"And…"
Xie Qing looked at his crotch with a heavy gaze. His face reflected awkwardness.
"Why did you even wake up…"
