Dragons were fond of sleep and cleanliness. After a long slumber, the first thing they did upon waking was find a high-quality water source and soak in it, washing themselves spotless.
Therefore, the few dragons people ever saw were all noble and dignified.
Following Li Mu Yang's directions, Wen Ruo Ruo indeed found the large pool in the canyon.
The pool water was clear and jade-green, yet so deep that its bottom could not be seen. A stream flowed into the pool from afar, but the pool seemed as though it could never be filled. Even after tens of thousands of years of accumulated water, it had never overflowed into the Dragon Lair.
Clearly, there was another hidden cavern beneath the pool that promptly drained away the water flowing in.
Wen Ruo Ruo reached out to test the water temperature and said happily, "The water's warm, and it even smells of quartz. I'm going in to bathe. You keep watch nearby, and no peeking."
Qin Han wore a simple, honest smile as he said, "I haven't bathed in ages either. How about I go down with you? I wouldn't feel at ease letting you go alone."
"I'd feel even less at ease with you coming down. In all of Shenzhou, is there any creature more ferocious than a man?"
"Heh heh—"
"What are you heh-hehing about? Hurry up and keep watch for me." Wen Ruo Ruo swept her gaze around, then pointed to a boulder taller than a person beside the pool. "Stand behind that boulder. Don't peek toward the pool. But don't go too far either. I need to be able to hear your voice at any time."
Helpless, Qin Han could only obey Wen Ruo Ruo's instructions. He walked behind the boulder and covered his eyes.
