"Really? Can the two of you at least leave the room divider to let me bathe in peace?" Looking at the two women standing in front of him with expectant gaze, Yang Ze couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

"Mmmm..." Cang Yue, who was firmly holding the room divider, nodded instinctively before suddenly raising her head and looking at Xiao Ruolan with a face full of displeasure.

"What are you doing here?"

Her voice was clearly filled with dissatisfaction. This stupid bitch was ruining her view.

"..." Xiao Ruolan didn't say a word but looked at her like she was looking at an idiot before turning her gaze back towards Yang Ze, who was standing beside the hot bathtub, waiting for the two of them to place the room divider back.

Though she didn't say a single word, her red eyes flashed with expectation. As if she couldn't wait for him to take off his clothes.

"YOU..." Yang Ze gritted his teeth in anger before looking at the bathtub and then, with some hesitation, simply jumped in without taking off his clothes.

"NO."

"What the..."

The two women simultaneously shouted, wanting to stop him, but they were too late. Yang Ze was already comfortably lying in the bathtub with his head underwater.

The only thing that was visible was the steam that was obstructing their view.

"Bitch." Cang Yue simply spat in Xiao Ruolan's direction before walking towards the balcony.

"..." Xiao Ruolan's corner of her lips twitched in response as she tried her best to keep her cool. There were only a few people who annoyed her in this world... letting her lose her cool, and Cang Yue wasn't one of them.

She took a glance at the bathtub, then at Cang Yue's figure on the balcony, before following her.

Cang Yue just glanced at her once before looking at the city in front of her. There were so many things that happened in such a short span of time that she was still having a difficult time coming to terms with it.

Besides the fact that she needed to enter the Sword Trial once again after twenty-five days for some unknown reasons, there were still a few more things that didn't make any sense.

"What happened at the cliff?" She couldn't help but mutter to herself. Although she might have acted nonchalant previously, deep in her heart, she was wary.

Unlike Lin Yue and Xiao Ruolan, who attributed it to her activating her physique, she knew the truth.

She didn't use her Nine Yin Physique. Or should she say she was about to use it when she lost consciousness?

And then...

Suddenly, everything was fine.

Not only was the Crimson Heart from Yang Ze's body gone, but even those weird-looking worms also disappeared. And if that wasn't enough, the seal that the old woman in the sword trial put on his memories to keep him safe was gone too.

It was clear that someone or something took action. But whether it was for the Crimson heart or for Yang Ze... she wasn't sure.

And this put another layer of invisible pressure upon her.

If some other person truly did take action, then they might have uncovered the truth about Yang Ze's physique.

"But why leave him with us?"

The more Cang Yue thought, the less sense it all made. In the end, she just shook her head, throwing out all those distracting thoughts.

She might not have cared if it was only about her. But this was something that involved Yang Ze. It was impossible for her to stay calm.

And then there was the fact that Yang Ze wasn't just a mortal, but an expert at the peak of Foundation Forging. Though she might not show it, she was still in disbelief.

She once made sure to check his bone age and knew the truth that he was no older than eighteen years old. For him to reach such heights at such a young age... and that too as a man... She didn't dare to imagine what waves it would cause if the words got out.

The strength he displayed was overwhelming, too. And coupled with all those abilities... If he were given time, she didn't dare to imagine the heights he would reach in the future.

Right now, he was weak, and she could easily overpower him.

But what happens when he reaches the Vein Expansion realm? What would happen if his realm catches up to her and worse... he surpasses her.

If that were to happen, what was she going to do then? She wasn't afraid of Yang Ze attacking her. After spending so many days with her, she knew what type of person he was.

But this didn't stop her from being afraid.

Afraid that one day he would surpass her in strength and then leave her... In that case, what was she going to do?

The more Cang Yue thought about it, the more restless she became.

She couldn't just stay passive and hope for the best.

Before, she wanted to take her time to deepen their relationship and slowly win him over. But now... Even though she could see his feelings towards her after he regained his memories, this didn't stop her from worrying. And coupled with the fact that now both Lin Yue and Xiao Ruolan had seen his face...

Cang Yue just closed her eyes, but her trembling eyelashes were proof that she was thinking of a way out of this situation.

Xiao Ruolan, on the other hand, didn't care about what Cang Yue was thinking. Though her eyes were gazing in the distance, her attention was on Yang Ze, who was still submerged underwater.

Had she not known that he could breathe underwater, she would have chopped off that damn bathtub in half.

It wasn't until a few more moments had passed that she opened her cherry lips to speak in an emotionless voice.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

Her sudden words caught Cang Yue by surprise, who had almost come up with a perfect plan.

"What?" Although she was annoyed, Cang Yue still asked with a frown. What was this bitch talking about?

"Yang Ze."

Xiao Ruolan's words made her raise an eyebrow before she turned to face Xiao Ruolan.

"And what exactly is strange?" She spoke in a soft voice as a smile ran across her face. But from the coldness in her eyes, it was clear that she was warning Xiao Ruolan not to make any unnecessary statement.

Xiao Ruolan simply ignored her before replying in the same emotionless voice.

"The fact that he is acting like everything's normal." Before Cang Yue could speak, she continued.

"Think about it... Wasn't his soul injured?"

"I am guessing you weren't able to heal his soul in the Ruins and came up with another plan of sealing his memories."

Speaking till here, Xiao Ruolan paused for a second.

On the other hand, Cang Yue simply raised an eyebrow. She wasn't surprised that Xiao Ruolan knew the truth. She had talked about it in bits and pieces before, and with her intelligence, it was natural for her to come up with this conclusion.

She just stayed silent, waiting for her to finish her sentence.

"And now that he is back to his normal self, I am guessing the seal is no longer there."

Xiao Ruolan's eyes narrowed into slits as she gazed deeply at Cang Yue before uttering in a soft, emotionless voice.

"He has gotten all his memories back, but his soul is not healed, and yet he is acting like everything's normal."

"Do you really think he is okay?"

"Don't you think it's strange?"

Her words finally brought Cang Yue back to her senses.

She was so shocked by Yang Ze's display of strength and the events that happened at the cliff that she never paid any attention in this direction.

Yes... As Xiao Ruolan said, she merely sealed his memories with the help of the old lady, and now that the seal was gone and Yang Ze was back to his normal self, it didn't change the fact that his soul was still injured.

And the old woman warned her time and time again while sealing his memories about the consequences once the seal broke.

"....." Thinking about it, Cang Yue's breathing almost stopped as she hurriedly ran back to the room, completely disregarding Xiao Ruolan all the while cursing herself for being this stupid.

'Cang Yue... Oh! Cang Yue... how could you be so stupid? How could you forget about the most important thing?'

Cursing herself repeatedly, she simply ran towards the bathtub and, after standing near it, directly put her hand inside before pulling Yang Ze out.

"LEAVE ME ALONE."

The moment she pulled Yang Ze out, an ear-splitting shout sounded in her ears as Yang Ze struggled against her, hoping to get out of her grasp. At the moment, his eyes seemed to be in a daze as he desperately tried his best to free himself from her hands. But clearly, he wasn't putting any strength behind it at all, as if afraid of hurting the other party.

"Wake up... It's me." Cang Yue hurriedly shook him, hoping to wake him, but to no avail.

With every passing second, Yang Ze's struggle only intensified as his body kept writhing around like a snake.

"Why, you little..." In the end, Cang Yue just gritted her teeth before pulling her right hand back and then...

*Slap

With a loud slap, Yang Ze's body stiffened as his eyes regained their clarity.

"Cang Yue!" Yang Ze muttered her name before patting her hand, signalling her to let go of him.

Cang Yue simply watched as Yang Ze walked out of the bathtub before exhaling a mouthful of air.

He didn't say a word but just looked at her for a moment before immediately averting his gaze in embarrassment.

"...." Cang Yue just raised an eyebrow, seemingly taken aback by his reaction. She wanted to say something when she suddenly noticed that her clothes were wet.

Earlier during his struggle, Yang Ze splashed a lot of water around, and some of the water fell on her, too.

It was only now that she noticed that her clothes were completely drenched, especially the thin layer of clothing on her chest, which was almost transparent, revealing the creamy milky breasts underneath and those two alluring red buds.

"Sigh..." She just shook her head before taking off her clothes.

Yang Ze, who was looking outside the room, stiffened when he heard the sound of clothes rustling.

He simply swallowed a mouthful of saliva before focusing on the scenery of the city in front of him.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Cang Yue changed into a new set of identical clothes before walking onto the balcony.

Yang Ze just looked around before picking up what looked like a lollipop from the table, putting it in his mouth and making his way to the balcony.

Under the starry sky, the view of the city was breathtaking. The numerous small streams that ran across the city like veins filled with boats and paper lanterns... it looked like a scene out of a painting.

The serene, gentle breeze, along with the fragrance of food, flowers and perfumes, coupled with the sweetness of the lollipop in his mouth, made him immerse in the scenery.

And it was at this moment that Yang Ze felt a hand reach out to the lollipop in his mouth before pulling it out forcibly.

"Hey." Not to mention Yang Ze, anyone would be annoyed if someone stole their lollipop.

But before he could say anything, Cang Yue simply put the lollipop in her mouth before raising an eyebrow.

"Hmm... It's sweet."

"..." Yang Ze just looked at her helplessly before shaking his head. Even after spending so many days with this woman, he couldn't understand her.

The two of them stood side by side, silently looking at the scene in front of them, quietly enjoying each other's company.

It wasn't until a few more minutes had passed that Cang Yue abruptly asked.

"So... Are we going to talk about it?"

"Talk about what?" Yang Ze simply raised an eyebrow, completely oblivious to the question.

"You know exactly what." Cang Yue wasn't the one to give up. The current Yang Ze reminded her of the young boy that she saw in one of those memories.

"..." Yang Ze went silent for a long time before letting out a mouthful of turbid air.

"It's nothing special." He shook his head with a forced smile.

"I was too tired and accidentally fell asleep in the bathtub."

"And then..."

"Then I dreamt of that damned Blood Corpse coming after me."

"It was about to rip my face off when you woke me up."

The scene plunged into an eerie silence for a while before Cang Yue simply hummed in response.

"I see." Even though she nodded in understanding, no one knew whether she believed him or not.

Yang Ze, on the other hand, quietly gazed at the town in front of him when he felt a soft hand reach towards him from behind. It passed through his ears, gently caressed his face before reaching his chest.

Yang Ze didn't even move. He just stood there in silence, his eyes still looking at the scenery in front of him.

The hand moved around his chest for a good while before a body pressed on him from behind.

From the side of his eyes, Yang Ze could see a woman in her mid-thirties gently nibbling his earlobe, then licking his cheeks before whispering softly in his ear.

"That's right, my dear darling...."

"These wenches don't deserve to know about us."

"It's just you and me..."

"Just me and you..."

"Just You and Your MOTHER."
