Chapter 15

Soaking in the bath relaxed his body and mind. Su Xing squinted his eyes and fell asleep without realizing it, until the bathhouse owner woke him up.

"Sorry," Su Xing apologized with a smile, stood up from the bath, dried his body, and put on a rough but simple robe. He didn't know which dynasty the robe was from. Fengdu had clothing from every dynasty and every corner of the world, so Su Xing naturally chose a Hanfu.

"After a bath, I feel much lighter, I wonder how many pounds of dirt I washed off!" Su Xing looked in the mirror, carefully tidied his appearance, and smoothed out the corners of his robe. He instantly looked spirited and dignified.

The mirror reflected the current Su Xing. He hadn't had a haircut for months, and his black, shiny hair cascaded like a waterfall down to his waist. His fair skin was smooth and white like jade, revealing a healthy pink, which would make even women envious. His tall, slender figure and the brown robe exposed his muscular chest and strong calves, his feet firmly planted on the ground.

"Still a pretty boy, just like before," Su Xing said to his reflection, touching his sharp chin and chuckling. "But I still don't have enough money. After deducting the cost of the bath, I can only afford the simplest yukata, which doesn't look proper and isn't good for job hunting."

Everything was prepared for job hunting!

Although he had cleaned his body thoroughly and put on neat clothes, his handsome face still gave off a carefree and arrogant air.

Su Xing borrowed a pair of scissors from the bathhouse owner and cut off his waist-length black hair, styling it into a short, neat buzz cut. However, as he was about to cut, his eyes lit up and he stopped.

"Changing my hairstyle occasionally isn't bad; it gives me a new mood." Su Xing mumbled, his lips curling slightly. He then cut his hair to shoulder length and asked the owner for a headband to tie it into a ponytail. He smiled at his reflection in the mirror, his white teeth gleaming.

"Good teeth, good appetite!" Su Xing struck a pose and jokingly quoted a classic advertisement.

"How about working for me with such a good appearance?" The owner, seeing Su Xing, smiled and said.

"Sure!" Su Xing's face lit up with a victorious smile as he immediately agreed. He had borrowed the scissors and headband from the owner and even struck a pose, all to attract the owner's attention.

He had thought earlier that wearing a yukata would be perfect for working in a bathhouse, and he could also take free baths, killing two birds with one stone.

Su Xing's quick agreement surprised the owner, who then laughed and said, "Why do I feel like I've been tricked?"

"No, no," Su Xing protested, shaking his head.

For the next while, Su Xing worked at the bathhouse. In his previous life, he had done many jobs, but this was his first time working in a bathhouse. He learned excellent massage techniques from the owner.

Su Xing was clever. He often wore a yukata, chest exposed, and wandered around, sacrificing his good looks to attract female customers. With his smooth talk, he quickly became popular among the ghosts. In no time, more and more ghosts came to the bathhouse, and the owner was always happy.

As the business improved, Su Xing's salary also increased. After taking on a few apprentices, he became the master, often wandering around, chatting with customers, and leaving the bathing and cleaning to his apprentices.

"What a leisurely life," Su Xing sighed, sitting on a stool under the bathhouse sign, a blade of green grass in his mouth. He greeted familiar customers loudly, including middle-aged women and young girls.

"Su Xing, you have great people skills. Thanks to you, the bathhouse has grown and the business has improved," the owner said, seeing Su Xing slacking off, but not surprised. He spoke kindly to Su Xing.

"Too much attention can be a bad thing. This is enough. If we get any bigger, other bathhouses might get jealous and send some troublemakers," Su Xing said, leaning against the wall and looking up at the sky.

"Right," the owner nodded. He had recently discussed expanding the bathhouse with Su Xing, but Su Xing had explained the risks, and the owner, though reluctant, had taken his advice.

Su Xing's suggestion was correct, but a big reason was that he was lazy and didn't want to deal with the trouble. Another reason was that he didn't want to work in the bathhouse forever.

"Su Xing, you're not young anymore, and you have great people skills. How about I find you a match?" the owner said, liking the young man in front of him. "Tell me what kind of girl you like. In the Netherworld, we can find any kind of girl, whether from ancient or modern times, domestic or foreign."

Marriage...

Su Xing looked into the distance at Fengdu and shook his head. "No, I'm not ready to get married yet."

"Is that so..." The owner chuckled, his expression slightly dimming. He had a daughter who was quite pretty.

Su Xing's answer was expected. The owner often saw Su Xing gazing at Fengdu, his bright eyes filled with longing.

"This young man is a golden scale, destined to become a dragon. It's a pity my daughter doesn't have that fortune," the owner sighed, lifting the curtain and returning to the bathhouse.

The owner suddenly poked his head out and said to Su Xing, "Su Xing, a female customer has specifically requested you to help her scrub her back."

"Find an apprentice to replace me," Su Xing waved his hand, saying. This wasn't the first time, but Su Xing had never agreed, always finding an apprentice to do it. His apprentices were more than willing.

"This..." The owner lowered his head, pondering.

"Is there a problem?" Su Xing, noticing the owner's hesitation, asked.

The owner looked at Su Xing with difficulty, hesitating. "The customer seems to be someone important. We can't afford to offend her. Su Xing..."

"Then I'll go. I'm a grown man; I'm not afraid of losing. Can she eat me?" Su Xing stood up, spat out the grass, and walked into the bathhouse.

The customer who made the request was in the VIP room, Room No. 1, which was expensive.

The VIP room was also Su Xing's suggestion, and it had worked well.

"Hope she doesn't eat me..." Su Xing muttered, standing at the door of Room No. 1, his hand on the wooden door, hesitating to push it open.

He had confidently promised the owner, but now, standing at the door, he was hesitant.

"Better give it to an apprentice." Su Xing's lips twitched, remembering an unpleasant memory from his past, and his hand pulled back as if electrocuted, preparing to leave.

"Since you're here, come in." A lazy voice suddenly came from Room No. 1, each word slowly spoken, carrying an indescribable arrogance and authority.

Su Xing stopped, the voice having a soul-capturing effect, making it impossible to refuse.

"Better go in." Su Xing took a deep breath, pushed open the wooden door, and walked in confidently.

"Bang"

The wooden door closed automatically. Su Xing saw a woman lying on the sofa, her body stunning, and his mouth opened but no words came out.

She was facing away from Su Xing, her skin smooth and fine, her curves graceful, like a piece of white jade, her waist as slender as a snake, her buttocks round and full, her figure extremely alluring.

"What? Have you never seen a woman's body before?" The woman turned over, lazily stretching, her voluptuous body fully exposed to Su Xing, without any reserve.

Su Xing's expression turned awkward, but seeing her boldness, he boldly admired her.

Her hair was black and shiny, tied in a beautiful bun. She had just bathed, her hair still wet, truly a misty, fragrant cloud.

Her face was like a jade plate, with delicate features. Her eyebrows were arched, her eyes slightly upturned, every glance full of charm. Her nose was delicate, her lips sensual, a natural beauty, and very endearing.

The woman's lazy posture and graceful figure were fully visible to Su Xing. Her long, graceful neck was like a swan's, her shoulders round and smooth, her chest full and eye-catching, the peaks of her breasts a rosy red, inviting, and full of elasticity, bouncing playfully as she stretched.

Below her towering breasts was a flat, endless abdomen, with a cute navel, and then...

Su Xing's gaze lingered on the woman's upper body, not moving down, but even just the upper body made his nose hot and his blood boil, a youthful restlessness.

"Quite bold, daring to stare at my body so openly." The woman chuckled, glancing at Su Xing. Though she seemed angry, she was full of charm and allure.

Su Xing's blood surged, and he smiled. "If you dare to show it, I dare to look."

"Bold!" The woman covered her red lips, laughing like a silver bell, her posture graceful, her body trembling. "What an interesting little ghost. You're the second man to look at me so openly."

Su Xing smiled and asked, "What about the first?"

"Of course, my husband, the City God of Fengdu!" The woman smiled, her beautiful eyes curiously examining Su Xing. "Since you're so bold, why did you hesitate at the door and want to find an apprentice to replace you? Are you afraid of my husband?"

"Who knows who your husband is!" Su Xing said, though surprised that the woman's husband was the City God of Fengdu, he wasn't afraid at all. He even felt a sense of relief for seeing the City God's wife naked.

The wife of the City God of Fengdu was as noble as a princess, a close friend of the Empress.

"Since you're so noble, why come to such a small place?" Su Xing chatted, not caring about the woman's status.

To be honest, Su Xing was both the most afraid of women and the least afraid of women!

"Do you not fear me? With just a word, I can make you disappear, and the City God will send you to the Eighteenth Level of Hell, never to be reborn!" The City God's wife said, her red lips parting, her eyes staring at Su Xing with a strange light. He was too special; she had never seen such a man before.

"I, Su Xing, am only afraid of women who wear clothes, not those who don't." Su Xing smiled, slowly walking towards the City God's wife.
