"You still have energy left to practise?" Wang Li asked the very moment she entered the bath.

Xiaolin hadn't felt her Elder Sister coming in as she was completely lost in her cycling. Through this session, she could channel the life of Qi and the magical herbs better to relieve herself. Instead of simply soaking in the water, which would be a long process, she boosted it through her magical constitution and channelling.

She found this cheat that worked wonders to relieve her exhaustion. To anyone else, it wasn't that much.

"It is better that way," Xiaolin told her.

"Well, as long as you can bear it," Wang Li said. "Doesn't it get uncomfortable though?"

"A little, but considering the benefit the herbs bring in, it's all worth it."

"Only the herb?" Wang Li asked, raising an eyebrow.

"And of course your life Qi."

Wang Li nodded in delight. Thankful that Xiaolin hadn't mentioned anything about her smell in the water.

Wang Li started to strip off her robes slowly on the sides. "Well, I can barely endure it for about a quarter of an hour," she said.

Well, the herbs were specially selected for the needs of Xiaolin, something that would relieve her fatigue and would bring good improvement to her body. Of course, Wang Li cared nothing about improving her body, but she was exhausted to no end herself after practising Reverse Cycling and preparing so much food.

Wang Li stripped naked and joined Xiaolin in the water. She relaxed first, laying flat on the stones as the warm water relieved her of most of her worries for the moment. The Wang's Inn had a similar bath too, probably because it was made by the same builder, however, the atmosphere here was different.

The boulders though seemed natural, most of them were carved that way to look at a natural bath with water streaming down always. Wang Li had to admit this one looked more natural than the one in the inn. Well, it didn't have the water streaming down function, so.

Wang Li wasn't aware of what Gale did, save for the rich herbs and her Life Qi, but the water here never gets spoiled. It was as if something built it was under the bath that sucked in all the filth that was introduced to the bath.

Moreover, there were multiple functions available on the formation hub. Wang Li just needed a little Qi to change the water temperature, increase the herb quality, or change the atmosphere completely. There were, of course, privacy screens too, as if all the barricades around the bath weren't enough.

After relieving herself somewhat, she joined Xiaolin in channelling. Wang Li started regular cycling, the reverse one already wasted about a week of her effort.

"Elder sister, when are you going back?" Xiaolin asked after a while.

"What?" Wang Li ogled her eyes at the younger girl. "Can't wait to be alone with your master."

"It isn't like that," Xiaolin said in fluster.

"One of these days you'll know what it is like," Wang Li said meaningfully. "Staying alone with an eccentric master, mistakes and all the other stuff are meant to happen."

Xiaolin blushed, or it was the effect of the warm water and channelling. Probably both.

"This had been a little vacation that I didn't think I would need, but so far it had been good for me."

"Elder sister, you worked almost every hour. Even more than what you do for the inn."

"But it is the work I like," Wang Li said. She sighed. "I'll probably leave tomorrow. Your master had taught me a lot and treated me better than my own family. I can't always be freeloading over here."

"You probably can," Xiaolin couldn't help but say. "I don't think Master would mind, besides you aren't freeloading. Your food helped me tremendously with all the improvements I made. It wouldn't be possible without you."

"Silly girl," Wang Li said. "I have a family of my own to look after." 'And how's that working for me,' she couldn't help but think.

Xiaolin clearly had an expression that said she wanted to say something, but she refrained from uttering it.

With nothing to say, Xiaolin was done with her channelling as well. She would lose anything if she channelled more into her body--she was aware of it fully.

Thus, she got up and ended her bath. Xiaolin wiped herself with a towel and wrapped herself in one. After done with that, she was about to move to wash her clothes when Elder Sister stopped her.

"Leave those, I'll wash them along with mine."

Thanking her for that, Xiaolin got out and moved to the house which was quite some distance away, considering the plan for the bath to be closer to the mansion. She couldn't help but turn her head towards the roof of the mansion to find her master was still working.

Xiaolin recalled what her elder sister said just a little while ago and blushed.

Considering Xiaolin was barely wrapped in a towel, she crept away quickly from there.

'Alright, the ground floor is almost ready for residing,' Gale mused. Of course, he wouldn't be living there for a week or so, but he could leave many of the stuff out of the void lock there.

Well, done with the scripting, Gale decided to wash, and then he would instruct Linlin and Wang Li on some basic things that he was missing. The two women barely had any foundation in spirit arts, and it was apparently worse for Wang Li even though she was at copper rank.

Well, she had a last chance to rectify that before she advanced to iron. After that, there would hardly be any way to rectify the mistakes of the past.

With one mind, Gale moved towards the newly built bath, thinking about the ways he could instruct his disciple.

Only when he opened the door of the bath, he discovered what he had done.

A couple of peachy white butt cheeks greeted his sight.
