Chapter 26: 26. Sharing bathwater
After falling ill, Lu Yao had experienced all sorts of rotten but today's troubles were merely a drizzle in comparison, and his heart was utterly undisturbed.
Having sent Li Lei away, he opened the shopping app and found the store he had bought silver from last time—"Lu Family Gold and Silver Factory."
He spent 250,000 yuan to order 50 kilograms of silver, totaling 1,000 taels!
He had already cooperated with this store multiple times; they were well-acquainted, and the owner, after cutting the silver, delivered it at the earliest opportunity.

Although the price of silver online was slightly expensive, Lu Yao did not mind spending a bit more for the sake of safety.
Once ready, he called upon the Star Key to activate the "Dimensional Door," and the familiar spiral green doorway appeared.

It was midday in the Otherworld, the sun shining brightly above.
In the martial arts gym, he searched for a while until he found Liao Qe, who was cleaning.
"Come help me carry some things~"
"What have you brought this time?"
The young girl happily entered Lu Yao's room only to find a giant bath tub...and several hundred pounds of herbs! Could it be that he was planning to—
"The ointment is too slow; I'm going to take a herbal bath!" Lu Yao simply told Liao Qe his plans.
The girl covered her mouth and gasped softly, "No wonder you bought so many herbs!"
Then, Lu Yao pulled out several strange bags and handed them to her, "These are exotic goods from overseas, you're smart enough to figure out how to use them."
Liao Qe opened the bag to find several very small pieces of clothing and strange paper tissues.
"Are these clothes Western underwear? And these strange paper tissues..."
Seeing she was confused, Lu Yao took one tissue and found a pair of trousers to demonstrate, "Just like this, get it~"
Liao Qe's face turned red with embarrassment, "How can there be such strange things..."
"Anyway, they're very useful, so keep them. Come on~ let's carry this tub to the Cultivation Quiet Room. We'll start the herbal bath!"
Liao Qe nodded, rolled up her sleeves to reveal arms as white as lotus roots, her slender and taut body brimming with endless strength, easily lifting the heavy bathtub.
They filled it with water, and the tub's built-in heating function took care of warming it quickly, so it wouldn't take long to boil the water.
The commotion they were causing grew, and Liao Ya also came over, immediately understanding Lu Yao's idea upon seeing the scene.
"A herbal bath? Junior brother, you are too extravagant...Though this method is effective, it wastes a lot of herbs."
"I want efficiency; a little bit of money is nothing," Lu Yao laughed, "Sister, you came just in time, help me keep an eye on the amount of herbs and the temperature."
Looking at the several hundred pounds of herbs in the room, and then at the luxurious bath tub, Liao Ya sighed deeply and resigned herself to his whim.
~~~~~~~~
The three of them got to work, and quickly arranged the herbal bath using the ingredients for "Golden Tiger Bone-Strengthening Paste" multiplied by twenty.
After simmering the herbal concoction for an hour, it turned amber color and filled the room with its fragrance.
Setting the tub to maintain warmth, Lu Yao made a welcoming gesture.
Liao Ya dipped her hand in to feel it and said with a complex expression, "The qi and blood stimulation reaches the organs, the medicinal effect is strong."
The girl was quite conflicted. In the past, she could only drink a bowl once a week; suddenly having enough to indulge in daily and now even enough for a bath, she hadn't yet adjusted her mindset.
Lu Yao urged, "Let's start then."
"This bathtub of herbal bath must have cost at least 5 taels of silver, it's too luxurious," Liao Ya said somewhat embarrassedly, "You should have bathed first, but your body can't withstand such strong medicinal properties, so I'll help myself without ceremony..."
"What's there to be polite about, get in quickly."
"..."
"Why aren't you bathing yet?"
"Junior brother, you leave first."
"Oh, sorry."
Only then did Lu Yao realize that taking this bath required undressing, so he quickly left.
~~~~~~~
After he left, Liao Ya's composed pretty face showed a look of excitement and curiosity, and she said to her sister:
"This huge tub is enough for both of us to share; come join me, don't waste the junior brother's kindness."
Liao Qe was also eager to try what it felt like to take a bath, so the two sisters stripped off their clothes and entered the tub hand in hand.
The luxurious tub was large enough to accommodate two more girls.
Once the sisters were inside, they let out a comfortable sigh.
Liao Qe, like a lazy cat, contentedly closed her eyes. "Mmm~ so comfortable~ nice and warm~"
Liao Ya shuddered in surprise, "The medicinal strength is so intense, it's penetrating right into the body; the medicinal bath is at least five times more effective than the ointment. Who would have thought that an originally ordinary recipe could have such miraculous effects without considering the cost!"
After expressing her amazement, she looked all around curiously, studying the tub: "And this tub can even keep the heat, the water temperature stays the same~"
Master Liao made quite a splash with every movement, causing waves to ripple through the water.
Liao Qe stared at her sister's amazing figure, wide-eyed and exclaimed, "That's terrifying... Do you become like this after Organ Refining?"
Liao Ya instinctively covered herself, feeling a bit embarrassed, "I don't know what happened; it just turned out this way."
Liao Qe moved closer, extending her hands as if trying to cop a feel, but her sister slapped them away.
"You little brat, what are you trying to do?"
"Don't be so stingy, let me have a look~"
"Back off, don't get so close!"
"Haha~ so bouncy~"
"Just absorb the medicinal strength! This is something Lu Yao spent a lot of money on, don't waste it!"
The sisters initially bathed quietly, but soon they started splashing and playing around. Lu Yao, meditating in the yard and overhearing them, felt itchingly curious, imagining countless enticing scenes.
~~~~~~~~
The two ladies didn't finish playing until an hour later, their skin became even more fair and tender, like lotuses emerging from water.
Liao Ya, drying her slim body with no extra fat with a towel, suddenly noticed her sister wearing a strange piece of clothing.
"What is that?"
"Hehe, it's a gift from Lu Yao~ looks good, right? It feels really great to wear~"
Liao Qe had changed into a sports bra from Blue Star, which was shapely, sweat-absorbing, breathable, casual yet sexy, just right for martial arts practicing women.
Liao Ya immediately felt her belly band was less appealing and questioned, "Isn't there one for me? Lu Yao always brings two of everything."
Liao Qe pulled a funny face, "How can one casually give out such private things? It's inappropriate for men and women to exchange these things. You better not ask for it."
"Damn it, you hid it on purpose!" Liao Ya pounced, her movements quick as she reached out and grabbed her sister's face. "There should be no such hesitations between fellow disciples, hand it over~"
Seeing her embezzlement fail and knowing she was no match for her sister, Liao Qe reluctantly handed over the hidden clothes.
The clever Liao Ya quickly figured out how to wear it and adjusted the buckles to their largest setting before slipping it on, nodding in satisfaction, "Indeed it's comfortable. Junior brother always brings good things."
Having said that, she even jumped a few times, her body once rebellious, now firmly subdued to Master Liao's increasing satisfaction.
Liao Qe, seeing her sister's playful and lively manner at this moment, felt quite unaccustomed to it.
After their father left and the responsibility of the household fell on her older sister's shoulders, the pressure had turned her serious and stern, always wearing a stern expression.
But ever since Lu Yao appeared, her sister became much more cheerful and charming. In fact, this was her true nature!
Liao Qe sighed inwardly, "This is my sister's true self, completely relaxed."
~~~~~~~
As Lu Yao was in meditation, two beautiful young girls emerged.
With their hair half dry and their alluring eyes glancing about, their skin was tender beyond compare, radiating youthful vitality. They were a sight for sore eyes, evoking that line of poetry—'The spring water slide to wash a creamy skin.'
Liao Ya coughed to interrupt Lu Yao's appreciation.
She furrowed her brow and looked conflicted in her large eyes, but still she spoke softly, "Junior brother, the effects of the medicinal bath are just right for you now; go ahead and use it."
Lu Yao was shocked—was this the same medicinal bath the two of you have used, and you're just offering it to me directly!? Shared bathwater!? That's not right... that's too weird!
