Chapter 13: Bathhouse Where Lilies Bloom
(Wuwu, Elus is too much.)
The pitiful little fox could only kneel by the hot spring and diligently wash clothes.
This was undoubtedly a tedious and tiring job, as everyone had been crawling around in the underground ruins for a long time, and their clothes were covered in dust and mud. If she didn’t put in a lot of effort, they simply wouldn’t come clean.
However…
As Lonis was washing the second item of clothing, she discovered…
“Huh? This, this is Elus’s shoe?”
Since the shoes were already a bit muddy, Elus had taken them off and handed them to her to wash.
However, the inside of the shoes was still as good as new. The soft lining not only felt very smooth but also faintly gave off a scent of pine.
If she looked to one side, she could even see Elus’s stockings.
The lacquer black composite threads looked very resilient, and most importantly, Elus was wearing pantyhose this time!
What did this mean?
This meant that the fleece-lined part was only one step away from the girl’s secret parts… Although Lonis was not a pervert, her heart couldn’t help but stir as she looked at the hazy black stockings.
(Wuwu…)
(If I want to get revenge on Elus, should I pick up her stockings and sniff them?)
(No! That’s too perverted. Besides… it’s not just Elus’s, everyone’s too, and Cécile’s white ones…)
Looking at the girls’ clothes, Lonis was completely bewildered.
Although she wanted to wash them, her fingers couldn’t help but brush against the surface of the stockings.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Everyone was happily immersed in the large hot spring, enjoying their baths.
Compared to the small hot spring with a depth of only 40 centimeters, the large hot spring was more than 1 meter deep, allowing them to stretch their limbs or even swim.
And so…
“Wow, my body feels so light, can I swim now?”
Su Ling waved her arms, trying to float.
But her body was directly pushed down by her older sister: “Su Ling, you can’t do that. As a young lady, you must maintain your elegance… and swimming in a hot spring is very uncivilized behavior.”
“Oh, really?”
“Of course, why don’t you ask Princess Cécile?”
“Mhm… Mhm…”
Under her companion’s gaze, Cécile’s cheeks turned slightly red. Her pure white body was submerged in the hot spring, leaving only her small head visible: “Mhm… you can’t swim in public baths, but since we are all companions, it doesn’t really matter.”
“Sister, did you hear that?”
“Why are you only listening to the first half? Listen to the second half too.”
“Wow, don’t pull my hair. You call yourself a young lady, yet you’re so rough!”
Su Ling Zhou and Mi Xue Zhou were playing with each other like this. However, compared to them, Bai Ye seemed a bit cautious, leaning against the edge of the hot spring.
“Bai Ye, what’s wrong? Is your puppet body not used to the hot spring?”
Elus smiled slightly, her ink-black hair submerged in the hot spring like silk.
“N-no! The hot spring water is good for my balance, it’s just… um… Miss Lonis, did she upset Sister Elus?”
“What?”
“You seem to care about her a lot…”
“Hmph…”
As soon as Lonis’s name was mentioned, Elus frowned.
In fact, she didn’t not want Lonis to bathe, nor did she want to deliberately bully her… It was just that Lonis, this guy, was originally a boy?
Even if she herself didn’t mind, what about the other companions?
They were all pure and innocent beautiful girls, and bathing with a male was, no matter how you looked at it, a bit too much.
So Elus had sent Lonis away, planning to let her bathe after everyone else was done.
However,
Her companions were very kind and kept pleading on Lonis’s behalf:
“I feel like Sister Lonis is so pitiful. We’re all soaking happily, and she’s all alone…”
“Yes, yes, Su Ling thinks so too~~ Elus, did Lonis make you angry? If it’s not serious, can you forgive her?”
“Sigh… It’s not that I’m angry.”
Seeing everyone pleading, Elus also frowned and fell into distress.
She didn’t know how to bring it up, but at this moment, Princess Cécile also said softly, “Senior Elus… Isn’t the little fox just an endearingly cute girl?”
“Uh?”
“Even though she did incredibly brave things, and even though her past might be different from ours, she’s still a very cute little girl, right? We’re not afraid of her.”
“Yes, yes…”
Seeing Cécile and Mi Xue Zhou also pleading, Elus could only sigh and say:
“Alright, I’ll call her over then.”
(The stockings are washed, but the clothes haven’t been touched at all… With so many clothes, when will I finish washing them?)
Just as Lonis felt exhausted and her arms were getting weak…
From a distance, Elus’s voice could be heard.
“Little fox, come here quickly!”
(Huh? It’s Elus! What does Master want me for…)
As soon as she heard Elus calling her, Lonis instinctively became excited, her tail wagging.
But she quickly realized that her actions were too embarrassing… It was like she was a pet raised by Elus, being ordered around without any dignity.
So Lonis wanted to pretend she didn’t hear and continue washing clothes.
However…
“Lonis, come here quickly!”
Compared to her initial call, Elus’s voice had a hint of annoyance in it.
This scared Lonis, and her tail trembled. She began to hesitate: What did Elus want her for?
Could it be that she wanted her to give a massage, or was she bored and wanted to bully her again?
Make her wag her tail, or play with small toys?
The little fox lowered her ears fearfully, and at this moment…
“White-stockinged little maid, come here quickly! If you don’t come, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“I’m coming, I’m coming!!!”
Unable to disobey her master’s orders, the silver-haired little fox could only “come when called” and ran over.
…
…
“M-Master… W-what do you want me to do?”
Lonis knelt beside the large hot spring… It wasn’t that she didn’t want to stand, but the area around the hot spring was shrouded in mist, and the ground was wet. If she stood up, she would easily slip.
“Hmm, now, obey my command. Take off your clothes.”
“T-take off my clothes?”
“That’s right, hurry up and take them off!”
Under Elus’s scorching gaze, even though she was very flustered, Lonis could only comply.
Her clothes were covered in slime, so when she took them off, they fell to the ground like a slab, making a cracking sound.
“Master, what are you going to do?”
“Hmph, it’s a rare opportunity, so of course I’m going to make stewed fox soup.”
“Eh?”
“Don’t run, come down here~”
Protruding her body from the bath, Elus pulled the silver-haired girl into it with a “plop.”
