Celestia rolled her eyes at the meddling Simmons, not at all shy, and even shot a provocative glance at Li Xin, "Brother Li, how do you want to wash?"

"Ahem, I can wash myself," Li Xin said, "Prepare more meat, I feel like I could eat a whole cow."

"Brother Li, come, I'll take you inside," Celestia said flirtatiously.

"Celestia, speak properly, after all, we're comrades who've faced life and death together," Li Xin was somewhat overwhelmed, Simmons was right there, and she made it sound like there was something going on between them, which there wasn't.

"Oh, what did I say? Do you know where the base's bathroom is?" Celestia laughed, "Come, I'll take you."

"You two keep it quick, not one or two hours. The cafeteria should still be open, I'll go get some food," Simmons instructed.

Li Xin wanted to say he could finish a shower in three to five minutes, but something felt off.

Celestia took Li Xin to the base's bathroom, at this time there was only cold water, no hot water. Meanwhile, Simmons went to prepare food for the two of them. As he walked, Simmons couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Why did those two go to bathe and he had to go get food?

Heh heh, Angel's Heart, walking on the road, Simmons couldn't help but grin widely, baring his teeth. The weather was truly nice today.

The bathroom at the base was in the back, not big, simply sectioned off, exclusively for the use of the Canon Law School team members. There wasn't time for a shower, the water in the big bucket was full. Li Xin took off his armor piece by piece. Even after the battle ended, the fatigue hadn't hit him yet. Thinking of this, Li Xin felt a bit aggrieved. This wonderful jam had been completely consumed, making him feel like he needed to put some jars in Yazama Karashi, just in case he needed to pick something up.

His clothes were already in tatters, another little loss. Patching up here and there was routine in the Underground City. In a new environment, patching was impossible. The water was warm; Hedan typically stayed around thirty degrees in the afternoon, and rinsing it over the body was quite refreshing. There was also a brush to clean off any dirt on the body.

Of course, with all procedures considered, if a man wants a quick shower, there's no speeding it up. Suddenly, there was an exclamation from next door, "Ah, Brother Li..."

Li Xin froze. Celestia had been scratched in the Holy Land, could something have happened?

He quickly threw on his change of robes and rushed over, hesitated at the door, unsure whether to enter, but there was the sound of a basin hitting the ground inside.

"Celestia, are you okay?"

"Something's wrong, I need help," Celestia's voice was laced with pain, "The door's not closed."

"Alright, I'm coming in. Make sure you're dressed," Li Xin said, pushing the door open and slowing his steps.

Celestia sat painfully on the ground, wrapped in a big towel, with her fair leg bearing a terrifying wound. She was cleaning the injury again. During the battle, Li Xin thought it wasn't a big deal, but it turned out to be this severe, seemingly down to the bone.

"Help me tear off the bandage, clean it, and then reapply the medicine," Celestia said.

The George Family's young lady was not fussy during the battle, but after, tearing open the wound again was excruciating. It felt like all the strength had drained from her body.

Li Xin nodded, using water to rinse Celestia's wound, "Should we go to the hospital?"

"It's a surface wound, there's no Hidden Power left, I can handle it myself, I'm a Curse Master," Celestia said, "Pat it dry, apply the medicine, it's in the purple bottle."

"Does it hurt?"

"No, I'm not afraid of pain," Celestia gritted her teeth, no longer looking at her wound.

Li Xin chuckled, "Do you know what I'm afraid of?"

Celestia was curious, what would this guy who dared to fight an Angel fear? In her mind, Li Xin had completely surpassed Simmons.

"I'm afraid of being poor. I heard men have gold under their knees; once, I got mad, kneeled at home for a day, rubbed my skin raw, and didn't find even a piece of iron," Li Xin said helplessly.

Celestia burst into laughter, and right then, Li Xin applied the medicine, and her smile immediately tightened into tears, "Li Xin!"

"Haha, you said you're not afraid of pain," Li Xin said, then skillfully helped Celestia bandage with a clean strip. The Awakened constitution was much better than ordinary people. If it were Simmons with this wound, Li Xin wouldn't even glance twice.

"You're afraid of being poor, and I'm quite rich, how about we pair up?" Suddenly, Celestia boldly suggested, looking at Li Xin with fiery eyes.

The women of Celestial Capital were introverted and restrained; the women of Hedan were passionate and bold. At this moment, Celestia wore only a bath towel, with fair shoulders adorned in shimmering droplets that gently slid down. Celestia wasn't voluptuous, but perfectly balanced and upright, almost a handful. The tender supple figure of a girl was budding, with a refreshing fragrance that was enchanting.

Li Xin blinked, "Don't tease me, little girl, I like voluptuous mature women, besides, I have a girlfriend. You handle it from here, any longer and Simmons might kill me."

This was dangerous territory. Knowing his self-control was limited, Li Xin dared not linger, swiftly leaving, and closed the door tightly. He rushed back to the bathroom to dump a whole bucket of water over his head.

In the bathroom, Celestia, seeing Li Xin's hasty departure, turned red with shame. She was rejected. Covering her face, Celestia waited a moment, then separated her pale hands, her gaze resuming its usual confidence. She wasn't a person afraid of setbacks.

Mature women? ... Could it be the boss from the Hex Bird Society?

Celestia observed her figure, pinching it slightly... couldn't help but grit her teeth again, not small, but the situation in Hedan was generally bigger. It was frustrating, but there was room for growth. She would get bigger eventually.

After tidying up, Li Xin changed into Hedan casual wear, generally a universal size robe. The base had many, provided for after-training change. With Celestia injured, Li Xin waited outside. Young girls' emotions are beautiful, youthful stirrings are all. Rejection is fine, no need to avoid her, which would seem petty.

Celestia didn't stay in long. At home, she could spend an hour or two in the bath; at the base, half an hour was about it. When she emerged to find Li Xin waiting, she was a little surprised.

"Can you walk?"

"No, I need to be carried," Celestia instead relaxed, having been rejected, there was nothing to fear anymore.

"I have internal injuries, can't carry you, come on, I'm starving," Li Xin patted his stomach, walking ahead. Celestia pouted in frustration.
