Chapter 7

Ignoring Lulu's wary expression, Wuyan turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, this should be fine, really. You know, when you were watching me take a bath earlier, I didn't react as much as this."

Lulu was seething inside. Although what he said was true, no matter how she looked at it, she was the one who was at a disadvantage. How could someone be so shameless?

"I'm not washing anymore!" Lulu turned her head away, pouting.

Wuyan helplessly spread his hands. They always said that the post-90s generation was hard to please, but he didn't expect that girls from another world would be just as difficult to deal with...

With a smile that made one want to punch him, Wuyan said without turning around, "At least get your body wet, or your companions will definitely suspect something."

Indeed, if she had been in there for so long without getting wet, others would definitely be suspicious. At that point, it would be hard to explain.

Lulu looked at Wuyan hesitantly. Girls love to be clean, and these days, living in the Beast Forest, Lulu had been camping in the wild every day. Although she didn't feel it was hard, not being able to take a bath was really something she couldn't bear.

If it weren't for the training, Lulu would have gone home long ago. That was why she was so happy when she first saw the lake.

Now, although Wuyan's interruption had caused some unexpected events, Lulu's desire to bathe hadn't changed.

It was one thing to say it, but with Wuyan, a man, standing there, radiating the aura of a third wheel, how could Lulu feel at ease to bathe?

"But... you're still here..." Lulu said almost pitifully, her expression likely to make a bunch of men howl.

Unfortunately, the man present was a clueless shut-in who was completely oblivious to the scene, his back to the beauty. He was the kind of person who should be dragged out and executed...

"That's just the way it is," Wuyan said, shrugging. "If it weren't for your companions outside, I would have left long ago."

It was the truth. After being bombarded by the internet in the 21st century, women's bodies held no secrets for Wuyan. Although the meaning was different, how could what he saw on screens compare to reality? But Wuyan wasn't a lecher, and he was a bit regretful, of course.

"What should we do then?" Should she really bathe in front of him? How could that be possible...

Frowning in distress, Wuyan picked up the large shorts he had left on the shore and looked at them with disgust.

Those are yours!! Hey! What are you disgusted about!!

Raising his hand, he tore a large piece of fabric from the shorts and tied it over his face with a look of determination.

"Is this fine? If you trust me, go ahead and wash."

Stunned by what was happening, Lulu's lips curled up, and she quickly covered her mouth to suppress the urge to burst out laughing, looking like she was struggling hard.

Staring at Wuyan's face for a while, Lulu said with a hint of amusement, "You absolutely can't peek!"

Wuyan was speechless.

"Little Lulu, don't worry. Until we reach the 'passionate love' stage, I won't rush to 'eat' you."

Lulu's face turned red, and she glared at Wuyan before slowly taking off her clothes.

Hearing the rustling of clothes and the splashing of water, Wuyan felt a headache coming on.

Isn't this testing my patience? Why is my heart so sensitive at this moment? I don't want to be a saint!!

...

"Alright, you can take it off now."

After who knows how long, Lulu's slightly cheerful voice broke Wuyan's concentration, who had been counting monks and nuns to distract himself.

Quickly removing the fabric from his face and tossing it away, Wuyan let out a sigh of relief.

Turning around, Wuyan saw Lulu, who had just come out of the water, fully dressed. Her wet hair and skin glistening with droplets indicated that she had indeed taken a bath. Her beautiful face was full of smiles, showing how happy she was to have a bath.

Looking at Lulu appreciatively, Wuyan said sincerely, "You know, girl, you really have something to be proud of."

After getting used to Wuyan's tone, Lulu felt less strange. Putting her hands on her hips, she said smugly, "Of course, you know, I have a lot of admirers."

Amused by Lulu's performance, Wuyan shrugged. "Sure, sure, Lulu is the prettiest and most likable. Let's go out now."

"Hmph, not sincere at all!" Lulu wrinkled her nose and coldly huffed, turning her head away and leading Wuyan out...

Suddenly, Wuyan realized a serious problem.

"Right, Lulu, how are you going to explain to your companions why I'm here?"

Both of them froze, their movements stiff.

"..."

"..."

The scene fell into silence, with only the two of them staring at each other and Wuyan's forced smile...

...

"Miss, you're finally done. If you didn't come out, Miss Feifei would have come in to look for you."

When Lulu came out, a middle-aged man who looked like an extra and seemed to be a guard hurried over, looking at Lulu and saying, his eyes constantly drifting over her body as if checking if anything was missing.

"Nothing, it was just too comfortable, so I stayed in a bit longer." Lulu's eyes shifted away, her lie full of holes... Fortunately, the man was a crude and oblivious guard.

"Lulu, you really took a long time this time..." From the forest, Wuyan heard a woman's voice, steady and gentle, and knew it was the woman who had spoken to Lulu earlier.

From Lulu's perspective, a tall woman in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts stood among the guards. She had beautiful silver hair, a face as beautiful as Lulu's, and a chest that was even more prominent, exuding a mature aura, making her just as attractive as Lulu.

"Feifei, the water was just too comfortable!" Lulu smiled and threw herself into the woman's arms, cooing like sisters.

Wuyan knew that this Feifei was important to Lulu but wasn't her sister, as Lulu had mentioned she was an only child...

Feifei hugged Lulu and looked at her disapprovingly. "So many people were waiting for you, and you still..."

Lulu stuck out her tongue and chuckled, showing no sign of embarrassment.

At this moment, Wuyan knew it was his turn to appear. He straightened the Kusanagi sword at his waist and slowly walked out.

"Who is it?!" As Wuyan's unhidden footsteps sounded, the guards around Lulu and Feifei quickly drew their weapons and shouted at Wuyan.

Lulu looked at Wuyan nervously. After their discussion, they had decided that Lulu would come out first, and then Wuyan would follow...

When she asked him how he planned to handle it, Wuyan confidently patted his chest and said, "Leave everything to me!"

Thus, the scene unfolded, and Lulu had no idea what would happen next, so she was a bit nervous.

Feifei tightened her hold on Lulu, looking at Wuyan as he approached, frowning.

Although Wuyan seemed harmless and she couldn't sense any aura of combat or magic from him, Feifei still kept her guard up. She didn't want to make a mistake that could harm Lulu.

Wuyan ignored all the guards, walking at a leisurely pace until he stopped about five meters away. He activated the system's detection function and scanned all the guards.

Ignoring the two beautiful women, the group of guards numbered around thirty, with names that can be ignored, and levels ranging from 20 to 29.

Looking at their weapons, Wuyan immediately judged that these thirty extras were warriors. After all, no mage would use swords, knives, or spears.

Moreover, mages were rare, and learning magic required a lot of talent. Ordinary people couldn't become mages, so the ratio of mages to warriors was about 1:100. This showed how talented Lulu was to become a fourth-level mage at 17.

Thirty third-level warriors, truly befitting the first family of the world's top power, each capable of killing him...

Reflecting on this, Wuyan's face remained calm.

When he saw Lulu, Wuyan's expression changed, his face becoming slightly serious, and he was shocked.

Feifei: (68th level)

Seventh level!

Alright, Wuyan admitted he was scared. This woman, who looked more like a maid than a bodyguard, seemed not much older than him, was already close to level 70?

Fine, the middle-aged men being stronger than him was understandable, given their age, but how could a woman not much older than him be so much stronger?

Am I even the main character?!

Wuyan had forgotten that Lulu, a few years younger than him, was level 35...

If this were a novel, wouldn't it be a story where the main character is constantly humiliated?

I don't want that!!

Internally screaming, Wuyan only narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

"Who are you! Why are you here?!"

The middle-aged man who had spoken first when Lulu came out looked at Wuyan warily. Although he didn't sense any danger from Wuyan, he didn't dare to let his guard down.

Under the hostile gazes of everyone, Wuyan quickly composed himself, then looked at the middle-aged man calmly and smiled, his voice light and airy, spreading slowly among the crowd...

"Just passing by, a bystander..."

The faces of everyone who had been on guard stiffened.

Lulu turned her head, burying her face in Feifei's chest, her body shaking.

She couldn't bear to look anymore...

If she kept looking, she would burst out laughing...

Feifei also looked calm, and the tense atmosphere was instantly shattered by Wuyan's words.

At this moment, Wuyan looked at everyone with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't know what he had done.

Was it the awe of my charisma?

After pondering for a moment, Wuyan decided...

Say it again!

"Just passing by, a bystander..."

The sound of his voice woke everyone up. Before they could react, Lulu couldn't hold back anymore. She raised her head, looking at Wuyan with a strained expression and shouted loudly:

"Are you an idiot?!!"

(Everyone, please support me, thank you!...)
