Although accepting the annulment was the original host’s karma, since Mu Yanxi had occupied his body, in a certain sense she had also taken on his karma.
So she spoke on behalf of the original host, “I’m sorry. I already know your aspiration is freedom. I didn’t expect that accepting the annulment would bring you even more trouble. I’m very sorry.”
This apology was not Mu Yanxi’s own decision. She could feel an impulse within her; the original host’s lingering spirit and will longed to apologize to this former fiancée.
After the words left her mouth, she felt an inexplicable sense of clarity, and her state of mind became more stable.
“Hehe, I accept your apology. Mm, you’re rinsed off now. You can go soak in the bathtub first,” Shangguan Yun said with satisfaction.
While she had been rinsing Mu Yanxi, the tub had already filled with water.
“Uh? Don’t you need me to rinse and scrub your back too?” Mu Yanxi asked instinctively.
Her moral code was that if someone helped her, she should help them in return, but the moment she said it, she realized something was off.
Shangguan Yun had helped her wash because she wanted to demonstrate her massage technique. Plus, she counted as her former fiancée and now her dual cultivation partner, so her helping made some sense.
But if Mu Yanxi helped her wash, that would be taking advantage, and Mu Yanxi did not understand massage techniques anyway.
“Heehee, I’d be willing. Would you dare?” Shangguan Yun asked with a laugh. Mu Yanxi immediately shook her head and, like she was fleeing, slipped into the bathtub.
Only then did Shangguan Yun casually pick up the showerhead and begin rinsing her own body right in front of Mu Yanxi, applying body wash as well. Mu Yanxi could only lower her head and try not to look at her.
While bathing, Shangguan Yun said, “This hundred herb body wash is made from the herbal essence of many spiritual herbs that are hundreds of years old.”
“It can increase physical strength and accelerate spiritual power absorption. It’s exclusively supplied to the Tian-rank dormitory. The body wash in the Lingyue public bath and ordinary dormitories is one grade lower.”
Mu Yanxi had already experienced its effects earlier. It truly felt extremely high grade.
This body wash itself was practically equivalent to very high-grade spiritual medicine. She just wondered whether it could be drunk in one gulp.
Although the spiritual water in the tub was not as effective as the body wash, it was still enough for Mu Yanxi to cultivate the virgin fairy bathing method.
It was even more than one grade higher than the spiritual water at her home. She felt her cultivation speed had increased significantly.
“I knew it. You have a high-level water-attribute breathing cultivation method, maybe even with a heart method.”
“After all, you can resist my charm arts. What grade is it? Cosmic Grade? Aeon Grade?” Shangguan Yun squeezed into the bathtub from the side.
Mu Yanxi shifted aside to let her lie down. She discovered the bathtub’s design was quite ingenious. It looked like it could let two people lie inside, but was just slightly too small.
If two people entered together, it would be a bit cramped, and they had to press against each other.
“Cosmic Grade.” Mu Yanxi deliberately reported a much lower level for the virgin fairy bathing method.
In reality, this cultivation method, which required sixth-level authority to learn, was a Xuan Grade cultivation method that could be cultivated all the way to ascension.
Of course, a grade was a comprehensive evaluation of a cultivation method. It did not mean that every aspect or every stage was equally strong.
Cultivation speed and difficulty were also important factors in grading.
Right now, Mu Yanxi was only at the Qi Refining stage. More than ninety percent of the divine ability and functions of the virgin fairy bathing method were unavailable to her.
At the Qi Refining stage, its power might not even surpass a Desolate grade cultivation method designed specifically for the Qi Refining stage. One could only say its future prospects were vast.
