After resting for a bit inside the immortal caves, Yuan and the others went to get dinner.
Once dinner was finished, Yuan went to take a bath, and he decided to try tempering his body with the medicine he'd received from the Hong Family.
However, during his tempering, someone opened the door and entered the bathroom.
Knowing that it wasn't a stranger, Yuan didn't panic this time.
However, he was still surprised to see Chu Liuxiang entering the bathroom with nothing but a towel around her body.
"Can I take a bath with you, Brother Yuan?" She asked him.
"I don't really mind, but the water is—" He said.
Before Yuan could even finish his sentence, Chu Liuxiang removed her towel and tossed it to the side before joining the bathtub with him.
Of course, the bathtub in the immortal caves wasn't anywhere close to the size of the one in Li Jinxi's bathroom, so it was a little cramped in the bathtub with Chu Liuxiang's smooth skin rubbing against Yuan's body.
Once the both of them were comfortable, they would sit there in awkward silence.
"We should do this more often." Chu Liuxiang suddenly said.
"I wouldn't mind that if we had a bigger bathtub…" Yuan chuckled.
After another moment of silence, Chu Liuxiang asked, "Brother Yuan, have you ever considered starting your own family?"
"No… I can't say that I have. Why? Do you wish to start a family?"
"Yes, I do." Chu Liuxiang nodded her head with a gentle smile on her face.
She then turned to look at him and continued with a serious expression, "I want to start a family with you, Brother Yuan."
"W-With me…?" Yuan's jaw dropped upon hearing her words.
"You don't want to?" Chu Liuxiang mumbled in a low voice.
"T-That's not it… I just… I don't think I am ready for a family now…"
"It's okay, Brother Yuan. We have plenty of time. You don't need to give me an official answer now. I just wanted you to know my feelings. That's all."
Seeing Yuan's dazed look, Chu Liuxiang suddenly approached his face and kissed him on the lips.
The kiss lasted for only a second before Chu Liuxiang moved back. She then got out of the bathtub and left the bathroom with a slightly rosy face.
Meanwhile, outside the bathroom, Meixiu noticed Chu Liuxiang, who had suddenly disappeared, coming out of the bathroom.
"Y-You were inside the bathroom this entire time? But Yuan is…"
Chu Liuxiang, who had snuck inside the bathroom while Meixiu wasn't looking, smiled and said, "I didn't want to be left out, so I went to take a quick bath with Brother Yuan."
"Unbelievable…" Meixiu was speechless.
"I hope you didn't do anything weird to him…"
