Lin Hao turned around and was the first to see a bathtub.

Steam rose from the water, and a girl sat inside.

Yes, a girl.

The girl looked cold and stunning, her beautiful, delicate face strikingly similar to Mi Mi's on Blue Star.

Unfortunately, the lower half of her body was submerged in the water. At her age, there was not much to see anyway.

Lin Hao was stunned, thinking, Damn, who is this? Did I barge into someone else's bedroom?

As Lin Hao stood there in a daze, the girl frowned and snapped, "Do you know that barging into someone else's room and peeping while they bathe is extremely improper? Huh, no, my door was locked from the inside. How did you get in?"

The girl questioning Lin Hao suddenly realized that both her door and windows were tightly shut.

She was curious. How had this little boy gotten in?

Just then, someone outside the room spoke.

"Miss, who are you talking to?"

"Nanny Cui, do you need something?"

"Master asked me to pass on a message. Once you have finished bathing, go directly to the East City Gate and board the carriage to wait for him. There is business at the military camp. After he finishes handling military affairs, he will accompany you to the Misty Cloud Sect!"

"Alright. Withdraw for now, and have everyone else withdraw as well. I am about to leave home and join the Misty Cloud Sect. I do not want anyone disturbing me. I want some time alone!"

"Yes!"

A series of footsteps sounded outside the room.

After the footsteps faded away, the girl glared at Lin Hao and asked, "You still have not answered me. Who exactly are you?"

"Lin Hao. Lin as in forest, Hao as in sun and sky."

"Lin Hao? There are no nobles with the surname Lin in the Holy City. Are you a child from an ordinary family?"

"A child?" Lin Hao realized that he had only just awakened his Martial Soul. Looking at the girl before him, he smiled. "I am not that old, but you do not look much older than me either."

"Do not change the subject. Why did you appear in my room and peep at me..." The girl's face was ice-cold, as though she would not let Lin Hao off without a reasonable explanation.

Lin Hao looked around the room, thought for a moment, and answered, "If I told you I was accidentally teleported into your room, would you believe me?"

"I would."

"You really believe me?" Lin Hao was speechless.

"I do." The girl nodded firmly. "This is the Nalan Residence. My father and grandfather are commanders in the military camp, and the residence is heavily guarded. A little brat like you could not possibly have entered my room. So, I believe you."

"This is the Nalan Residence?" Lin Hao blinked. He had just heard the words Misty Cloud Sect, so he asked with concern, "What is your name?"

"Yanran. My compound surname is Nalan."

"What? You are Nalan Yanran?" Lin Hao stared blankly, wearing a strange half-smile as his gaze drifted downward.

Damn.

On his first transmigration, not only had he arrived in the Battle Through the Heavens Plane, but he had also... landed directly in Nalan Yanran's room.

Damn it.

The look in Lin Hao's eyes as he watched Nalan Yanran gradually became lecherous.

Nalan Yanran said, "Yes, my name is Nalan Yanran. Can you turn around now? I need to get out and get dressed."

"Of course!" Lin Hao turned around.

The sound of splashing water rang out.

Lin Hao's heart stirred, and delight filled him. His disobedient neck tried to turn toward the sounds behind him.

Nalan Yanran hurriedly said, "No peeking."

Lin Hao smiled awkwardly. "My neck was sore. I was just stretching it."

Then, the rustling sound of clothes being put on came from behind him.

Suddenly, a silver sword landed against Lin Hao's neck, making his heart leap violently.

Nalan Yanran asked, "Tell me, who exactly are you?"

"Lin Hao."

"I am asking where you came from."

"I came from a very, very distant place."

"What place?"

"The Heaven Dou Empire!"

"The Heaven Dou Empire?" Nalan Yanran murmured to herself. "There is no Heaven Dou Empire among the surrounding empires. I have never heard Grandfather or Father mention it either. Could he be from the Central Plains Continent?"

"Alright, can you move the sword away now?" Lin Hao raised his hand, pinched the blade between his fingers, and slowly pushed it aside.

Nalan Yanran sheathed her sword.

As Lin Hao walked toward the door, he said, "Since there is nothing else, I will be leaving first!"

Nalan Yanran cried out, "Stop!"

Lin Hao turned around and asked warily, "Is there something else?"

"If you go out like this, what will others think of me? How am I supposed to explain that a boy suddenly appeared in my room while I was bathing?"

"What do you want, then?"

"Come with me!" Nalan Yanran walked to the door and opened it a crack. She poked her head out to inspect the area and saw none of the maidservants who attended her.

Then Nalan Yanran slowly led Lin Hao out of the room.

Along the way, whenever they encountered anyone, Nalan Yanran found an excuse to send them away.

Under Nalan Yanran's lead, Lin Hao boarded a carriage and rode in the same carriage as her.

When the carriage entered the marketplace, Nalan Yanran said to the coachman, "Grandpa Wang, go buy me some osmanthus cakes from one of the street shops. They must be freshly baked. I want osmanthus cakes!"

"But Miss, it would not be safe to leave you here alone!"

"This is Gama Holy City. Grandfather is a marshal, and Father is a general. Who would dare touch me? Go on, Grandpa Wang."

"Alright, Miss. Please wait a moment!"

The coachman outside the carriage left.

Still uneasy, Nalan Yanran lifted the curtain and looked around. Then she turned to Lin Hao inside the carriage and whispered, "Get out quickly!"

Lin Hao said, "You are not going to kill me?"

"Why would I kill you?"

"I watched you bathe. If you kill me, then no one will know."

"Who would know?" Nalan Yanran glared at Lin Hao.

"You and me."

"Yes, only you and I know. No one saw you appear in my room. Even if you told others about it, who would believe you?" A gleam lit up in Nalan Yanran's eyes, and a merchant-like crafty smile appeared on her lips.

Lin Hao laughed helplessly.

He had already prepared himself.

If Nalan Yanran wanted to kill him, then he would hide in the Boundary Space.

The look in Nalan Yanran's eyes suddenly turned somewhat cold. "I am a noble young lady. My grandfather is a marshal, and my father is a general. If you dare speak nonsense, the law will naturally deal with you. You will be thrown into prison, have your pants pulled down, and get your bottom spanked!"

Lin Hao subconsciously covered his buttocks with both hands.

In a feudal era, the laws were unclear. It was impossible not to feel afraid.

Judging by Nalan Yanran's cold expression, she seemed as though she might really do it.

Nalan Yanran gave a sly chuckle and urged, "Get out quickly. Grandpa Wang will be back soon!"

Lin Hao said, "There is one more thing. I heard earlier that you are going to join the Misty Cloud Sect?"

"Is there a problem?"

"When is the Misty Cloud Sect recruiting disciples?"

"Today is the first day. It will last three days." Nalan Yanran frowned slightly and urged him impatiently, "Stop dawdling. While there is no one familiar nearby, get out of the carriage quickly!"
