Chapter 4: Bathing
"As for me, what do you want to do to me? Give me a good word! ”
"As for you, if I kill a helpless little girl for revenge, it will provoke the jokes of martial arts people. At least, the Phaseless Divine Sect still has a place in the martial arts. ”
"Don't kill me?"
Nalan Xin didn't expect this sentence to come out of the sect master's mouth, and she slowly got up from the ground.
Since the sect master had no intention of killing himself, Nalan Xin didn't know where he got the courage to make a request to the sect master: "Okay, I don't expect you to let me go, so can you change the handcuffs for me?" A pair of handcuffs with a longer chain is always OK, right? ”
The sect master was a little surprised, paused, and replied, "You are a subordinate prisoner who actually made a request to me? Don't look at what this place is! ”
"I know what kind of place this is, the Phaseless God Sect that everyone is afraid of, and the ghosts are afraid of. I just said it casually, and if the sect master didn't want to, I didn't say it. ”
The Sect Master smiled, "Interesting, you are the first prisoner to ask me. But you have to play a game of chess with me first, and if you win me, I will agree. ”
"Playing chess?" Nalan Xin's eyes widened.
Nalan Xin has not been interested in playing chess since she was a child, just because her father Nalan and her master Ye Devil always play chess, and they have no time to accompany themselves all day, so she hates playing chess and almost never plays.
It seems that this sect master seems to agree easily on the surface, but in fact, he is secretly making a stumbling block for Nalan Xin.
"Forget it, I didn't mention it. Play chess, I can't win yours. Nalan Xin turned her back and replied, she gasped, she didn't expect the sect master to probe her temperament so clearly.
"Maybe you can make other requests, but you have to be self-aware and let you go, that's not possible." The suzerain's way.
Nalan Xin didn't want to think about it, and blurted out: "I want to bathe." ”
Since Nalan Xin was arrested, beaten, and abolished martial arts, she has never bathed in the real sense.
Before, she had been whipped all over her body, and barely an inch of her skin was intact, so the maid had to gently wipe her with a very soft cotton cloth dipped in warm water and change into clean clothes.
Later, in order to escape, Nalan Xin added to the wound on his right forearm and was almost crippled; He committed suicide without a fatal wound to his left chest.
Nalan Xin, who was covered in injuries, was definitely not able to touch the water, let alone bathe, during the period of recuperation, so it seemed very reasonable for her to make such a request.
"Okay, I'll get you ready." The sect master agreed.
"Really?" Nalan Xin looked puzzled, she couldn't believe that the sect master would agree so readily.
When the sect master turned around to leave, Nalan Xin spoke again: "That bath bucket should be sprinkled with rose petals, and I also need a screen, I don't like people watching when I am bathing." ”
"You ask so much, do you really think you're here to enjoy yourself?" The Sect Master's tone deliberately became much more serious.
"It's not that I'm asking for more, you've beaten me all over my body, and now I'm covered in scars, big and small. Whiplashes were like insects, twisting and twisting all over the body. Anyway, I'm a girl, and I still have this bit of shame, and I don't want people to see the scars on my body. Nalan Xin explained.
Hearing the word "scar", the sect master felt a heart-wrenching pain, he would rather have the whip on his body at the beginning, but there is no medicine for regret in the world.
"Okay, for your sake, at this stage, I can meet your request. The courage of Nalan Agency, you didn't even learn half a point. After the sect master said this, the news was silently in the stone room.
After the stone door of the stone room was closed again, Nalan Xin showed a mysterious smile on her face, not that she lacked courage, but that she wanted to pretend to be soft and weak in front of the sect master, so that people could not see that she had the idea of fleeing again.
If at this time, for the sake of the so-called courage and the so-called backbone, it is ultimately yourself who suffers.
Man is the most amazing animal, and he can bend and stretch at any time.
Suddenly, when Nalan Xin felt a hot current in his chest about to surge up and reach his throat, Nalan Xin hurriedly walked to the side and picked up a handkerchief to wipe his face and cover his mouth.
"Hmm!"
"Hmm!"
Nalan Xin couldn't hold back any longer, and directly spit out two mouthfuls of blood on the handkerchief.
Spread out the veil, the bright red blood stains are really eye-catching.
No, you can't let people notice the strangeness of the veil!
But the stone chamber was poorly furnished: a stone bed, a stone table, a few cylindrical stone chairs, and a wooden chair in the corner, a wooden shelf embedded in the wall for hanging things, and there were very few places to hide things.
Where is it safer?
Just as Nalan Xin hesitated, the door of the stone room opened slightly.
Nalan Xin folded the handkerchief as fast as he could, and hid it in his sleeve.
Two black-clad messengers came in with a very large tub, and the other two behind them came in with a screen.
It seems that this sect master does what he says, and his efficiency is really fast!
The tub was then filled with warm water, and the maidservant sprinkled rose petals on the water.
The heat slowly wafted out of the barrel, with a burst of roses.
The maidservant put her hand into the bathtub, swung it slightly, tested the temperature of the water, nodded, and said, "Miss Nalan, everything is ready, you can take a bath." ”
Nalan Xin stood aside, silent.
In the stone room, except for a maid close to the bathtub, the other black-clothed envoys and maidservants understood and silently pushed out the stone room.
"Miss Nalan!" The handmaid spoke again.
Nalan Xin raised his hands, shook the shackles on his hands and feet, and said, "My hands and feet are bound by shackles, how do you tell me to bathe?" ”
The servant girl understood, took out the key, and untied the shackles on Nalan Xin's hands and feet.
As soon as the shackles left his body, Nalan Xin felt that his whole body was much more relaxed, he rubbed his wrists, waved his arms, and it felt good to take a step and walk in great strides.
Nalan Xin walked behind the screen, by the bathtub, and when she was about to untie the straps of her clothes, her hand stopped.
Because Nalan Xin was covered with whiplash wounds all over her body, although the injuries on her body were healed, she still left dense scars, which were very ugly, and she didn't want outsiders to see the scars on her body.
Nalan Xin raised his head, looked at the maidservant with an expressionless face, and said, "Can you go out first and avoid it?" ”
"Miss Nalan, forgive me. The sect master has commanded: When you are bathing, I must be on the side to prevent you from doing anything extreme. ”
Nalan Xin took a breath, she didn't expect that her impulsive move last time would cause a series of troubles, and said, "Then you sit on the chair on the edge of the stone wall and supervise, so it's all right!" ”
"This ......"
