Chapter 46

Ah, we're climbing the charts, vote first...

"Everyone, go take a shower, then have dinner in the restaurant. The bathhouse is over there; get your own water..." Chu Xiong pointed in the direction of the bathhouse. At this moment, taking a shower was a must. If there were conditions, everyone would want to wash up because after the battle, their bodies were covered in all sorts of blood and sweat.

Next to the bathhouse was a large well, with only one bucket, so they could only get water one by one. The men had to let the girls go first.

While waiting idly, Bu Zheng noticed some arrays on the wall of the bathhouse and went to take a look. He found that the arrays extended from the outer wall into the interior, so he went in to check.

"Hey, Senior Brother Chu..."

Bu Zheng came out and called to Senior Brother Chu.

"Junior Brother, do you want to go first? You can go ahead. There are only two women, and they're done already." Senior Brother Chu thought Bu Zheng wanted to wash up early. Although Bu Zheng didn't seem to have fought, he was the cleanest person besides the senior disciples, but he had been running around and was also covered in mud.

"No, I just wanted to say that there's already water inside, why do we need to get water?" Bu Zheng said. This made the people getting water stop, and the two women preparing to enter the women's bathhouse also paused.

"There's water inside? Impossible. I've been here many times, and I always get my own water. Has someone used it before? That's water used by others. You wouldn't want to use it, right?" Chu Xiong said.

"No, just turn on the water valve, and there's water, even hot water." Bu Zheng said.

"Junior Brother, are you joking? The array device here has been broken for a long time, and no one has taken care of it." Chu Xiong said. He knew that the bathhouse had an array device to pump and heat water, but the problem was that the device hadn't been activated for many years, and everyone thought it was broken. The sect had no intention of repairing it.

This place was originally for training; why make it so comfortable? Just get your own water and wash up. When they initially repaired this place, they just fixed this facility as a side task. Once it broke, they ignored it.

"But there is water now. Don't believe me? Come and see." Bu Zheng pointed inside.

"Really?" Chu Xiong walked in half-doubtfully. Before he even entered, he heard the sound of water. Seeing the water flowing from the valve, it was clear that what Bu Zheng said was true.

"There really is water. What's going on?" Chu Xiong was puzzled.

"Who cares? Maybe someone fixed it before, or it fixed itself. I'm going to take a shower, I want hot water..." Zhao Zhiyin ran in without hesitation. Not having to get water, having hot water, and being able to soak in the bath was such a wonderful experience. He couldn't wait to start.

Bu Zheng didn't say much and went to take a shower. Actually, he had fixed it, but it wasn't really fixing. Someone had moved a part of the array, causing the entire array to change and preventing the device from pumping water.

However, Bu Zheng himself wasn't sure if he had fixed it. He just felt there was a problem and moved it with his hand, and the array was repaired.

Sometimes, someone skilled in arrays can fix an array with just one move, but someone who doesn't understand it can never fix it no matter how hard they try.

Bu Zheng didn't have much confidence in his array skills, thinking he was just at the apprentice level. How could he have fixed something that even people like Chu Xiong couldn't fix?

It wasn't until later that he realized his array skills were actually quite good...

Chu Xiong and the others didn't think Bu Zheng could fix it either. At this moment, they all put everything aside and went to take a bath and soak, including the two women.

Bu Zheng just took a quick shower, changed clothes, and went to the kitchen to cook. He didn't know that others had no hope for dinner and lost interest when they heard Bu Zheng say he would make wild vegetables.

The others were enjoying the hot water with their eyes closed, with no time to pay attention to Bu Zheng's actions. When they were done soaking, they rinsed, dried off, and put on clean clothes, placing their dirty clothes in the laundry bucket. Soon, they had clean clothes, indeed, clean and dry.

The laundry bucket was a very common household array device, a must-have for travel. No matter how dirty the clothes, they would become clean as long as there was inner qi or spirit qi to power it, and it could be used indefinitely.

Of course, this thing wasn't cheap. Bu Zheng didn't have one and always washed his clothes himself.

"A bath makes one feel refreshed, and I can smell something fragrant." Chu Xiong stood outside, stretching and sighing.

"Feeling refreshed is one thing, but why is there a fragrance? You didn't use women's cosmetics, did you?" Zhao Zhiyin, who came out behind him, said.

"No, based on my experience, this is the aroma of food, definitely not a woman's fragrance..." Qi Tian, who followed, said.

"You can smell it too? Is it my wife cooking?" Chu Xiong asked, puzzled.

"Given Sister Qiuyue's skills, it's already impressive that she can make something fragrant. How could she make such a fresh aroma? This is definitely the work of a master chef." Qi Tian shook his head, fully aware of Qiuyue's cooking skills.

"What did you say?" Qiuyue's voice came from behind.

"Ah, Zhao Zhiyin, you're badmouthing Sister Qiuyue again." Qi Tian immediately said.

"..."

"Could it be Qin Shuang..."

"No need to ask, it must be Bu Zheng, because he's the only one not here." Zhao Zhiyin looked around and found everyone but Bu Zheng.

Plus, during the afternoon rest, Bu Zheng's fried scorpion meat showed he was at a master chef level. However, didn't he say he would only make light wild vegetables?

"I'll go check!" Zhao Zhiyin dashed out, knowing that no matter what, there must be something good waiting in the restaurant. The first one to arrive would get the best.

"..."

The others stood there for a moment, then saw Qi Tian dash out, and they followed, not as fast as an arrow but still quite quickly.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw Zhao Zhiyin and Qi Tian already sitting at a long table, feasting on a variety of dishes.

"Damn, these are the wild vegetables you talked about?" Chu Xiong flashed to the long table, sat down, and ate a few bites before questioning Bu Zheng, who was eating in front of him.

By that time, Bu Zheng had already finished cooking and was eating. However, the speed was quite fast; the table was full of food, all prepared while everyone was soaking in the bath.

"..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then Qi Tian dashed out, and the others followed, though not as fast as an arrow, but still quite quickly.
