Deep in the Living

Chapter 590: Bath


"Luo Di, get up and eat!"

The voice of his mother roused Luo Di from his dreams,

he sat up groggily, looking at the familiar layout of his bedroom, then glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table—it was already noon.

Plop!

A strange noise occurred when he stepped into his slippers,

looking down, he was startled to see two tongues beneath his feet, but upon closer inspection, they turned back into normal slippers.

Even though it was just a trick of the eye, he found himself somewhat sensitive to tongues, instinctively playing with the one in his mouth, swirling it around, a habit formed over time.

After a simple wash,

Luo Di playfully stuck out his tongue, checking it in the mirror. His tongue seemed slightly longer than average, with more pronounced papillae, and was more agile.

With a curious mindset,

Luo Di tried out various tongue formations,

folding, curling, or shaking it,

each achieved with ease,

he could even coil his toothbrush around it, cleaning his mouth without using his hands.

He couldn't recall when his tongue became so agile, it seemed like an innate ability.

He could even feel his body move swiftly in rhythm with his tongue.

"Are you ready yet? The dishes are getting cold."

"Coming!"

When Luo Di emerged from the bathroom, nobody was in the living room; only yesterday's leftovers were on the dining table.

A whole braised pig tongue.

Luo Di showed little emotion, but his eyes were immediately drawn to the pig tongue.

Without heating it,

without chopsticks,

he picked up the juice-laden pig tongue with his hands, placing it in his mouth. He didn't chew, just gently sucked on its taste.

After thoroughly savoring, Luo Di seemed to be mentally stimulated, his thoughts unraveling, he began to interact with the pig tongue.

Either twirling together,

teasing it up and down,

or folding it with his own tongue.

After a practice session, Luo Di was sweating a bit,

when he felt his appetite peaking, he stopped playing and took a bite!

Ah!

A scream like a needle piercing a dream.

That's when Luo Di truly awoke, in a spacious villa's master bedroom, three people lay on the bed.

He was on the left, Wu Wen in the middle, Hua Yuan on the right.

It was already 5:30 in the morning.

Hua Yuan was snoring loudly, since receiving guidance from Gust, she had been practicing to hone her basic abilities as a monster.

Today was no exception; she practiced until 2 a.m. before bed and was in deep sleep,

thus not awakened by the scream.

The shout came from Wu Wen in the middle, whose lip corners had slight traces of blood.

Her lips softly parted with her breath,

revealing an almost severed tongue within.

Yet compared to the pain of the severed tongue,

Wu Wen was more overwhelmed by other emotions as ripples of blush washed over her cheeks, clenching her legs together, gazing at Luo Di with almost wistful eyes.

Though Luo Di had just woken, his dream memories were unusually clear.

He knew well the tongue exercises he practiced in the dream were a mental consolidation of his private lessons with Gust, further tightening the connection between tongue and body.

Except his practice target wasn't a pig tongue, but Wu Wen.

After all, those tutoring sessions were meant for both of them, so it was some sort of "revision."

They obviously couldn't continue sleeping and weren't sleepy anymore, and Luo Di was mostly well-rested, full of energy.

"Squad Leader, want to take a shower? Hua Yuan doesn't seem like she'll wake up."

"Sure."

The villa's bathroom space was quite large,

Luo Di was about to turn on the lights when Wu Wen gently stopped him.

The lighting didn't seem quite right,

Wu Wen pressed her palm to her skin, rubbing away some oil, crafting a pink candle on the spot, and lit it on the washbasin.

Even the flame was a kind of flesh pink hue, providing the lowest level of brightness.

The subtle fragrance of burning special oils devoured all odors, even creating a field of disguise over the bathroom to ensure the events inside remained unnoticed from outside.

They didn't choose to shower this time,

Wu Wen went to the bathtub, running cold water,

as she loosened her robe, her perfect curves revealed, a flawless back without a blemish, with faint blue veins visible beneath the skin.

The line of the spine, starting from the nape, descended quietly into the depths of the small of her back.

She swung her long legs and stepped into the bathtub.

Just as she was about to call Luo Di over, she noticed a pair of strong, powerful legs stepping in as well. The latter wasn't shy at all, but rather was already accustomed to it.

After all, they had long since experienced deep physical fusion,

Luo Di was well aware of the size of Wu Wen's pituitary gland and the amount of hormone secretion.

And Wu Wen was also very familiar with the size, distribution, and even taste of Luo Di's internal organs.

Sitting opposite each other, at the two ends of the bathtub.

The faint candlelight seemed insufficient to penetrate the water's surface, rendering the underwater scene hazy and inviting to the imagination.

Luo Di's left arm, with its bionic muscle textures interwoven with exposed hydraulic tubes, rested on the edge of the bathtub,

Faint factory noises emanated from within, as if machinery was being processed, still operating at minimal efficiency even during rest time.

"No wonder you didn't want to whiten the comic and left in such a hurry, it's because you went to Mr. Hook to deal with this thing.

From the moment you saw that comic holder, you had already decided to seize the metal elements from them."

"Yes, my left arm originally came from the Punishment Room, leaning towards metal. Since encountering this unique metal, and finding a high fusion rate between them, naturally, I would give it a try.

How about you, Squad Leader? Have you combined it with that blank comic under Teacher Guo's guidance?"

"Yeah, my body has already formed an abyss, want to feel it?"

Wu Wen took the initiative to grab Luo Di's bionic arm and placed it onto her abdomen. However, there was no abyss, just a small belly button.

"Haven't used it yet?"

"While you were away, Teacher Guo privately sought out Yu Ze and me, providing specialized guidance on how to harness the comic fragments.

From the very first day of study, I determined that I wasn't really suited for this kind of thing.

Moreover, the fragment primarily involves 'soul devouring,' while my strength is pure physical transformation, so I ultimately decided that pursuing a purely physical path is better.

Sister Hua's abilities are diverse, invasive and naive, stem and flower pistil, body and thought.

And her fragment was tailor-made at a comic store, very suitable; as long as she can control it, she will surely advance further.

I'll just develop the Corner System honestly."

"Hua Yuan suits you well, but the Corner System isn't necessarily inferior to the Outer Realm. Unusual beings like Gust, Father, and Mr. Question Mark can also crush comic holders of the same rank.

And your body, Squad Leader, is the most unique among the monsters I've seen."

"Oh~ you've learned to compliment people, that's rare.

Back in school, you were like a blockhead, and now you can say anything, make connections with all sorts of powerful monsters.

So many teachers have come over this time, probably all directly or indirectly related to you.

Also, you used to be so shy, even holding hands would make you squirm.

Now you have no sense of boundaries, even placing your hand on me, does it feel good? You can try moving up a bit; although I'm not as endowed as my grandmother, I should be alright?"

Luo Di's hand remained on Wu Wen's abdomen, only slowly withdrawing after such a reminder.

Yet this touch brought their minds closer again, the residual warmth from entwined tongues still present, as the candle's fragrance pushed their thoughts into a fusion.

Wu Wen slowly drew her legs closer underneath the water,

waiting for the young man in front of her to lose control and pounce on her.

"Wu Wen, how do you plan to handle the fragment?"

"Huh? I initially planned to keep it for myself, but after thinking carefully, keeping it wouldn't be useful, so I gave it to Teacher Guo for research, to obtain as much Outer Realm information as possible.

In return, I also receive his special tutoring.

He taught me a secret Vortex technique that can be applied to the body, a special skill.

Teacher Guo's Vortex doesn't originate from the comic itself but from his core of fear as a Pseudo-Person, with the comic only serving as an auxiliary support.

This technique is extremely valuable and harmonizes well with my physical transformations. He's willing to teach it to me, probably not just because I handed over the fragment, but also because I truly was his former student."

Wu Wen gently slapped the water's surface, surprisingly forming ripples, and Luo Di could clearly feel the ever-attacking swirling force.

"The destructive power of your slap is probably even stronger than my slash."

"Hehe~ you should go find Teacher Guo, he likes you the most and will definitely teach you too."

"Doesn't matter, I won't force it, plus my slaughtering might not align with this Vortex... By the way! What about Yu Ze, what did he choose?"

"What else could he choose, your fellow countryman has a strong 'ambition,' and it seems there's a particular dream that's driving his rapid growth.

Very similar to you, yet different.

The fragment he obtained is even rarer than yours and mine, an Outer Realm energy with strong destructiveness, related to dissolution.

Furthermore, his perception is extremely high, completing assimilation in just two days, as verified by Teacher Guo.

Luo Di... your fellow countryman is indeed a good person, but there's also danger, I can smell a hint of 'disguise' from him."

"I'll try to keep an eye on him."

Just like that, they chatted away, ring ring ring! The sound of an alarm clock came from outside the door, and it was already six-thirty in the morning.

Due to the arrival of Mr. Question Mark, jogging activities were held on each odd week, required to gather at the playground by seven.

What they originally planned to do didn't happen,

yet in Wu Wen's view, there was still some time, she decided not to wait any longer, proactively leaning closer, body against body, tongue touching tongue...

On the big bed,

Hua Yuan groggily woke up, reaching out to turn off the alarm, suddenly realizing that the two people who were supposed to be sleeping next to her were gone.

She quickly locked onto their auras,

barely putting on her clothes as she rushed toward the bathroom,

pushed the door open to see,

the two, properly dressed, were crowded in front of the washbasin, rinsing their mouths,

"Sister Hua, you're awake?"
