"T-That won't do, Yeye..."

Luo Ruying came back to her senses and hurriedly gave Luo Hongye, who was in her arms, an awkward smile.

Bathing together with Ning Yechen, baring themselves before each other and all that... she, she still was not ready!

"Eh, why not, Mother...?"

"Mother clearly promised Yeye that next time, you would bathe together with Yeye and Father..."

"Yeye wants to bathe with Father and Mother. Is that not allowed, Mother...?"

The moment Luo Hongye heard that it was not allowed, the corners of her lips curved down slightly, her clear, bright eyes filled with disappointment.

Luo Ruying did not want to disappoint Luo Hongye either, but she was truly too embarrassed inside and could only come up with a reasonable excuse.

"Yeye, it is not that Mother does not want the three of us to bathe together with Father. Mother actually wants to bathe together too!"

"It is just that the bathtub at home is too small. It cannot fit three people."

When she had been tidying up the house earlier, she had taken a look inside the bathing room.

The bathtub in the bathing room was not very large. Squeezing three people into it would be quite a stretch.

That was also one of the reasons she had no choice but to refuse.

Yet the moment Luo Ruying finished speaking, Ning Yechen vanished without a trace...

In merely a moment, Ning Yechen returned with a smile, gave a thumbs-up, and said,

"Wife, do not worry. Your husband just found a larger bathtub in another room and has already replaced it!"

The instant Luo Ruying said the bathtub was too small, he had flashed outside, bought an extra-large one, and installed it in seconds!

"Eh...?!"

"R-Really?"

Luo Ruying looked utterly dumbfounded.

She had checked every room while tidying up earlier. She had not seen any extra-large bathtub!

Had she missed it...?

"If Wife does not believe me, you can go take a look yourself~"

Ning Yechen said with a smile.

How could he possibly miss such a rare chance to bathe with his wife and child!

Half-believing and half-doubting, Luo Ruying carried Luo Hongye into the bathing room.

The originally rather narrow bathtub had long since vanished. In its place was a bathtub so enormous it resembled a bath pool, nearly taking up the entire room.

There really was an extra-large bathtub...

And when exactly had he replaced it? That was way too fast!

She had not noticed a thing!

Luo Ruying stared at Ning Yechen in astonishment, seeing the expectant yet smug smile on his face.

She could not help feeling that this fellow had prepared for this from the very beginning...

What was she supposed to do now...?

It seemed she had no reason left to refuse...

Luo Ruying stood rooted to the spot, her mind racing at full speed, yet she truly could not think of any other excuse to refuse.

Luo Hongye happily pointed at the huge bathtub, turned around, and smiled at Luo Ruying.

"Mother, it is so big here."

"Mother can bathe together with Father and Yeye now, yay~!"

Luo Ruying: "..."

Luo Ruying revealed a bitter smile. When she turned her head, she saw that at some unknown time, Ning Yechen had already taken off his clothes.

All that remained on him was a pair of pure white boxer shorts, revealing his robust and beautifully sculpted physique...

"Y-You, why did you suddenly take off your clothes again?!"

Her face flushed red, Luo Ruying quickly averted her gaze and cried out shyly.

The moment she stopped paying attention, he had stripped naked!

She had not even noticed!

"Wife, what are you talking about?"

"Of course you have to take off your clothes to bathe."

"Come on! Wife, take yours off too!"

"Your husband has already heated the water in advance!"

Ning Yechen spoke with perfect righteousness.

With that, he stepped into the bathtub first and submerged himself in the bathwater.

He had already spent several seconds modifying this bath pool. Its bottom was covered in self-heating stones, a kind of stone that could continuously generate heat on its own.

As long as water was poured into the bath pool, it would become like a hot spring in no time!

Luo Ruying truly had not expected Ning Yechen to move so quickly. He had even heated the water in advance!

She did not even have the chance to look for an excuse while waiting for the water to heat...

"Mother, Yeye wants to go down and play too~"

Luo Hongye pointed at the bath pool and said impatiently.

Luo Ruying sighed softly. She did not make any more excuses. After helping Luo Hongye take off her clothes, she placed her into the bath pool.

The moment she entered the water, Luo Hongye happily began splashing around.

Ning Yechen held Luo Hongye's little hand and let her try swimming on the surface.

Luo Hongye kept kicking her little feet through the water, having the time of her life.

Ning Yechen turned back to Luo Ruying and asked with a smile,

"Wife, are you not coming?"

Luo Ruying stood at the edge of the bath pool. Looking at the harmonious father and daughter, she hesitated for a moment before finally pursing her red lips, turning her back to Ning Yechen, and taking off her clothes.

Ning Yechen had just applied medicinal liquid all over her body, and her back felt sticky. She was nearly at the end of her patience, so she simply stopped forcing herself...

Her immortal dress fell to the floor, revealing a graceful, exquisite body before Ning Yechen's eyes.

At that moment, only underpants and a small dudou covered Luo Ruying's body. Vast stretches of snow-white skin were exposed, while the thin, loose dudou could not conceal her proud, full figure at all...

Ning Yechen stared in a daze, not even blinking...

His wife really was beautiful...

Whether from the steam in the bathing room or from excessive shyness, Luo Ruying's pretty face was faintly flushed like a cherry blossom. Crystal droplets of water slid down her cheeks, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Luo Ruying shot Ning Yechen, who was staring without looking away, an annoyed glare. She pinned up her hair, covered her chest with her arms, and slowly lifted her jade-like foot into the bathwater.

Soaking in the water, Luo Ruying appeared somewhat uneasy and nervous. She kept far away from Ning Yechen, though her beautiful eyes occasionally stole glances at him.

Ning Yechen secretly took it all in, unable to keep himself from finding it amusing.

His wife really was adorable...

As the female emperor of the Immortal Realm, she was still so shy. It was as if she had never seen a man's body before, always curiously sneaking glances his way...

When her gaze met Ning Yechen's, Luo Ruying immediately panicked and shifted her eyes away, pretending to look at Luo Hongye instead.

"Yeye, come here. Mother will help you bathe."

"Okay~"

Luo Hongye answered happily and waded over to Luo Ruying.

Luo Ruying skillfully began washing Luo Hongye's hair.

Luo Hongye sat quietly in front of Luo Ruying with her eyes narrowed, her face filled with a relaxed and comfortable smile.

Just as Luo Ruying was combing Luo Hongye's hair, Ning Yechen had silently arrived behind her.

When Luo Ruying noticed him, she hurriedly turned around and asked,

"Y-You, what are you doing...?"

"Wife, do not move around."

"Your husband will wash your hair."

Ning Yechen pressed close to Luo Ruying's back from behind and gently removed the hairpin from her hair. A cascade of glossy black hair, dark as ink, spilled loose and rippled across the water's surface.

Ning Yechen gently gathered a strand of her hair in his hand and carefully began combing it.

Her hair was silky and delicate to the touch, like satin, so lovely one could not bear to let go.

Seeing that Ning Yechen was truly only combing her hair, Luo Ruying no longer felt quite so nervous. The corners of her lips rose slightly as she silently allowed him to tend to her hair...

She muttered inwardly,

Honestly, I was not even planning to wash my hair today...

In the bath pool, Luo Hongye bathed Luo Hongye while Ning Yechen combed Luo Ruying's hair. The three stood side by side in the bathwater, creating an especially harmonious and warm scene.

Until suddenly, a pair of hands touched Luo Ruying's back. Her delicate body instantly tensed as though struck by lightning, and she cried out,

"Y-You, what are you doing...?!"

"Your husband is scrubbing Wife's back~"

"N-No need, I can do it myself..."

Luo Ruying refused with all her might.

Yet Ning Yechen's hands had already moved across her back, and waves of indignant, delicate cries drifted out from the bathing room...

"W-Wait...!"

"Were you not scrubbing my back?! Why are you touching the front?!"
