Can't Restrain Filial Piety Anymore
He saw his master looking at him with a restless gaze.
Tang Yu then guessed that her master must have misunderstood her pure and lovely disciple.
"I didn't mean I was peeping at Master while he was taking a bath. I just noticed how hard it must be for him to carry several buckets of water around every time he takes a bath."
Tang Yu coughed twice to explain.
[I never expected Master to misunderstand.]
How could I have done such a thing?
That would be incredibly disrespectful to my master; it would be a disgrace to my image as a virtuous gentleman.
"Oh, I see."
Qiu Xiaozhu slowly loosened her fist, and her expression became peaceful.
"Does Master like this hot spring? If there's anything else that's not good enough, I'll make some changes later."
Tang Yu smiled and squatted down by the hot spring pool, putting her hand in.
This hot spring water is a completely natural spring, which he specially prepared after discovering it a few days ago.
I like it, I like it.
Qiu Xiaozhu nodded vigorously. She also found it quite troublesome to carry several buckets of hot water to take a bath every day.
"Shall we try it now? I've prepared bath towels and all that, and even special tea bags. We can have a cup of herbal tea while you soak in the hot spring, and I guarantee Master won't want to leave."
Tang Yu ran over and opened a wooden cabinet next to her, taking out clean bath towels and prepared tea sets.
"Okay, thank you, apprentice."
Qiu Xiaozhu took the bath towel from Tang Yu's hand, her heart bubbling with joy.
This life couldn't be more comfortable!
Just as she was about to change her clothes, Tang Yu had already walked out and closed the door behind her.
After quickly taking off her clothes, Qiu Xiaozhu plunged into the hot spring water, revealing a blissful expression.
The temperature is so comfortable; every inch of my skin is starting to relax.
"It would be perfect with a couple more drinks."
Qiu Xiaozhu chuckled, and then the hot spring door was pushed open again, and Tang Yu walked in from outside.
Upon hearing Tang Yu's footsteps.
Qiu Xiaozhu's expression changed slightly, and she quickly grabbed a nearby bath towel to cover herself, shouting, "Disciple, what are you doing?"
"Oh? I came in to soak in the hot spring with Master. Master, are you still not finished changing your clothes?"
Tang Yu quickly turned her back to the hot spring pool and answered.
"Together? Shall we go for a soak together?"
Qiu Xiaozhu quickly wrapped a bath towel around her body, her face immediately turning red.
The hot spring pool is big enough, but... isn't it a bit... inappropriate for the master and apprentice to be soaking in it dressed like that?
"It's normal. It's not like we're naked. Just put on a bath towel. That's how we bathe outside too."
Tang Yu chuckled, closed the door, and began to undress.
After wrapping a towel around her crotch, Tang Yu slipped into the hot spring pool, saying with a contented expression, "The water temperature is so comfortable, no wonder it's a natural hot spring."
"Yes, it's quite comfortable."
After responding subconsciously, Qiu Xiaozhu couldn't help but look Tang Yu up and down.
My apprentice has quite a good physique.
His muscles were perfectly proportioned and incredibly defined, much like some of the male models I'd seen in magazines.
"This guy actually has some manly charm, doesn't he? Why aren't any of the other female disciples interested in him?"
Qiu Xiaozhu couldn't help but speculate in her heart, and a strange unease suddenly welled up inside her.
If a female disciple really has feelings for her apprentice.
Then they got together.
Wouldn't that mean I, as the master, would be neglected?
Will his apprentice still be as devoted to him as he is now?
Feeling somewhat displeased, Qiu Xiaozhu asked, "Disciple, I have a question for you."
"What is it?" Tang Yu asked with a smile as she looked up to admire the starry sky.
"You've been with our Nine Heavens Alliance for a while now, have you taken a fancy to any of the senior or junior sisters? Or have they taken a fancy to you or something?"
Qiu Xiaozhu asked casually.
Tang Yu pondered for a moment and then sighed.
"Well, I've been focused on cultivation and serving my master, so I haven't really paid attention to these senior and junior sisters. But I think quite a few of them have their eyes on me; they always follow me around and won't let go whenever I go outside."
[Especially Senior Sister Lotus, she chased me for an hour with her sword last time.]
To be honest, I didn't do it on purpose. Who would have thought I'd get lost and almost wander into the women's bathhouse?
[Besides, I didn't even go all the way in; I just accidentally saw her changing clothes.]
[I explained it to her afterwards, but she didn't believe me. Sigh, when did trust between people become so fragile?]
"..."
Qiu Xiaozhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from my apprentice's provocative nature, he probably isn't very popular with women.
So she said with relief.
"It's alright. You should focus on cultivation when you're young. Once you've achieved a certain level of cultivation, you'll naturally have senior and junior sisters begging to marry you."
"This disciple has learned a great deal."
Tang Yu nodded vigorously, then her gaze fell on Qiu Xiaozhu's snow-white shoulders.
He was being stared at so intently by Tang Yu.
Qiu Xiaozhu felt inexplicably embarrassed, grabbed a handful of water and splashed it on Tang Yu's face, saying, "What are you staring at your teacher for?"
"I notice your shoulder is a little crooked, Master. Is it because you often sleep on your left side?"
Tang Yu wiped the water droplets from her face and asked seriously.
"Yes, I do have this problem, but you often massage my shoulders, right? It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"No, no, no, the shoulder is the shoulder. Your problem involves your entire spine. If you don't mind, Master, I'll set your spine now?"
As Tang Yu spoke, she walked towards Qiu Xiaozhu.
My overwhelming filial piety is now beyond my control!
I want to hold onto my master tightly and fulfill my filial duty!
"Um, how is it correct?"
You turned your back to me.
"OK."
Qiu Xiaozhu nodded and obediently turned her back to Tang Yu.
Tang Yu placed her hands on Qiu Xiaozhu's smooth shoulders and gently massaged them.
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.
As Tang Yu began to show his filial piety, Qiu Xiaozhu blushed slightly and hummed contentedly.
Soaking in a hot spring is already very comfortable.
With that shoulder massage, my whole body started to relax, like a soft lump of slime.
After massaging Qiu Xiaozhu's shoulders, Tang Yu loosened her neck, then pinched her chin, adjusted the angle, and twisted it forcefully.
A series of clicking sounds followed.
Qiu Xiaozhu let out a comfortable groan and said, "Disciple, you're amazing."
"This is just the beginning. Next up is your back. Master, it's inconvenient for you to wear a bath towel, let me take it off for you first."
As Tang Yu spoke, she pinched the bath towel between two fingers and gently tugged at it.
Before Qiu Xiaozhu could even be shocked when she felt the last piece of clothing on her body disappear, she felt a pair of warm, large hands begin to massage her back.
A tingling, comfortable sensation spread along her entire spine, making her not want to move at all.
This feels so good.
"It's nothing, it's just bone setting, don't think such vulgar things."
Qiu Xiaozhu comforted herself with a few words.
The apprentice was seriously adjusting his bones, and he went to ask him why he had pulled off his towel. That's such a silly thing to do.
As the massage moved from her cervical spine down to her lower back, Tang Yu said, "Master, give me your hand."
Qiu Xiaozhu readily reached her hands out from behind Tang Yu.
After Tang Yu grabbed Qiu Xiaozhu's two hands with his left hand, he used his right hand to apply slight pressure against Qiu Xiaozhu's spine.
A crisp cracking sound emanated from her entire spine, and Qiu Xiaozhu shuddered with pleasure, feeling drowsy as she lay by the hot spring pool.
How come my apprentice is so good at everything?
