Zhang Kuang squatted down beside her slowly, raised his hand to pull his long hair behind his ears, his long eyelashes were stained with moisture, his pupils were moist, and he called softly, "Zhitao."

She called twice in a row, Xia Zhitao felt uneasy.She was a little uncomfortable, she looked away and said with a smile: "The medicinal bath is ready."

"Actually, you don't have to use the Wugou Rui to repair the spiritual veins as the master said," Zhang Kuang whispered, "There must be other ways, such as entering the spiritual veins... something like that."

Seeing that she was hesitant and wanted to run away, Xia Zhitao shy away ashamedly and turned to face her.

The white mist in the bathroom was transpiring, blurring the edges of the face, only the pair of jet-black eyes were exceptionally bright, cutting the white mist thinly.

"It would be too dangerous to suddenly re-enter the spiritual vein," Xia Zhitao explained, "There is such a ready-made method as Wu Rurui, why not give it a try?"

Zhang Kuang looked at her sideways, tapped his chin lightly with five fingers, and said seriously: "Okay."

Having said that, she still sat in the bathtub and did not move, her fingers tightly tucked into the white bathrobe, her eyes staring at the water, not knowing what she was thinking.

There are only a few words on the file, "the person who extradites", and it doesn't actually say clearly whether it is for dual cultivation, or simply transferring spiritual power.

Xia Zhitao didn't know what he was going to do, so he could only play by ear.Under her repeated urging, Zhang Kuang finally moved.

She dragged her white robe and slowly walked down the steps until most of her body was submerged in the water.

Petals and various medicinal materials float on the water surface, blocking the situation below.

She was sitting on the stone steps, her black hair was long and draped, and was completely wet by the clear water. It stuck to her slender shoulders and spread fine lines on the surface of the water.

Xia Zhitao's hair was not as long as hers, so she couldn't help but lift up a strand with her hands and twist it between her knuckles.

The surface of the water rippled, rustling softly like gauze.Zhang Kuang lay down on the shore, complaining in a low voice: "What did Jin Li put in, the smell of medicine is too strong."

Xia Zhitao laughed "chih", and explained: "The medicinal materials are prepared according to the proportion of the file. I have checked it several times, and Jin Li is responsible for throwing it in."

Zhang Kuang muttered: "I think that file was written indiscriminately, and the person who wrote it must have never tried it himself."

Xia Zhitao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "You soak it carefully for a while, then you can use Wugou Rui later."

She sat cross-legged by the tub, a basket beside her with leftover petals and herbs.She lowered her head and fiddled with the herbs, and there were sounds of water beside her. It turned out that the child was moving restlessly, trying to get her attention.

Xia Zhitao frowned, and suddenly smiled, she submerged her five fingers into the water, took advantage of Zhang Kuang's inattention, raised a small handful of clear water, and splashed it at her very childishly.

Zhang Kuang was caught off guard, only had time to close his eyes, and the warm water dripped onto his face, wet his long and thin eyelashes, and dripped into the pool along his eyebrows and nose.

"Zhitao..."

Zhang Kuang wiped his cheeks with his hand, his pupils were dizzy, and he looked at Xia Zhitao without blinking, "It's not fair."

Her voice was slightly soft and glutinous, she lay lazily on the shore, and said convincingly: "Look, I stayed in the pool, and you are refreshing on the shore, obviously you have the upper hand."

Xia Zhitao knew what she meant, smiled lightly, and jokingly said, "Why, of course I have the advantage, do you still want to resist?"

She fiddled with the water surface with her fingertips, making ripples, and said unhurriedly: "Come on, there is still half an hour, you have to lower your body so that the water surface is below your neck."

Zhang Kuang blinked and nodded.

The medicinal materials are soaked in hot water, stimulating each other's effects, like countless soft needles, cutting through the flesh and blood, and piercing into the muscles and bones.

The stinging pain gradually subsided, turning into bursts of scorching itching, like insects gnawing on the body, running wantonly between the spine, painful and numb, very uncomfortable.

Zhang Kuang pursed his lips tightly, frowned uncomfortably, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's too uncomfortable, I want to come out."

"Hey, bear with it for a while." Xia Zhitao comforted, "If there is any situation, just tell me. If you still feel uncomfortable, forget it, don't be too forceful."

Zhang Kuang replied softly, she floated away from the stone steps on the shore, stepped on the white jade bricks with her toes, and walked unsteadily towards the pool.

The warm and clear waves are like the rising tide of the sea, rising inch by inch, covering her shoulders and neck, gently wrapping her in it.

"Half an hour, don't sneak away," Xia Zhitao instructed, she stood up, patted her clothes, "I'll go get some herbs."

Zhang Kuang was wandering in the center of the pool, he poked his head out halfway, and heard Xia Zhitao calling her, and said "Oh" from a distance.

Xia Zhitao glanced anxiously, seeing that the child was still soaking in the middle of the pool, then walked out and gently closed the door.

.

According to the dossier, after half an hour, twice the amount of medicinal materials had to be added to the pool to trigger the effect of the Wugou Rui.

After Xia Zhitao came out of the main hall, she lit a stick of incense to record the time. After working for a while, she saw that the incense was almost burned out, and estimated that half an hour had passed, so she pushed a lot of medicinal materials into the hall.

It was extremely cold and quiet in the hall, the temperature of the pool dropped a little, and the white mist also curled up and dispersed.

Xia Zhitao looked at the empty pool, her heart suddenly soured, and she almost couldn't hold her arms full of herbs.

"Little maniac? Insolent maniac?" Xia Zhitao shouted out loud, but there was still silence in the pool, only her own echo remained in the hall.

She didn't care about changing the medicinal materials, and searched along the pool, but she didn't see Zhang Kuang's figure, so she ran out in a hurry, looked around the outside of the hall, but still didn't find any trace.

Xia Zhitao panicked completely, she anxiously searched all over the main hall, and even rushed all the way to the main hall with her sword, but both Jin Li and Jiang Jiuli shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

Mu Yue wiped her long sword and frowned: "Have you looked for it in the pool?".

Xia Zhitao was stunned suddenly, and suddenly realized that she herself was completely panicked just now, and she didn't even think of this most obvious point.

She was so anxious that she rushed back with Yujian all the way, pushed the hall away with a "touch", and shouted tremblingly: "Xiao Kuang, don't scare me!"

There was no movement in the pool water, Xia Zhitao's heart swayed, he took off the brocade and white robe, leaving only a thin shirt on his body, and dived into the pool suddenly.

For some reason, the hot water half an hour ago has completely cooled down, slowly submerging into the body with a bit of biting chill.

Xia Zhitao held her breath and opened her eyes in the water.

The light hit the pool, most of it was blocked by the messy medicinal materials, and scattered beams of light fell, barely able to see the situation in the pool clearly.

The spiritual energy fit her body, allowing Xia Zhitao to walk in the water without hindrance.She looked around, and finally found the unconscious Zhang Kuang in the deepest part of the pool.

She hangs in the silent pool, her long hair is softly scattered on her side, the sparse light falls between her eyebrows and eyes, and her long and thin eyelashes hang quietly, like a painting frozen in time.

Xia Zhitao reached out to touch her, her fingertips were icy cold, her heart was trembling with fright, she hurriedly hugged Zhang Kuang's waist, and led him towards the shore.

"Whoa-"

The two came out of the water, and ripples swayed from their sides.Xia Zhitao stretched out his hand to support the shore, and brought him up along with him.

After finally returning to the shore, Zhang Kuang fell to the ground quietly, without any breath, his skin seemed to be covered with a layer of frost and snow, and the first touch felt an extremely cold and deep biting chill.

Xia Zhitao's body was drenched, she dragged him to the shore with great effort, she wiped the water off his face, lowered her head and hugged him, and said in a trembling voice, "Crazy?"

Zhang Kuang lay in her arms, his skin was as pale as blood, and the skin touched by his palm was so cold that he couldn't even feel her pulse.

Xia Zhitao was flustered and at a loss for what to do, she already had a faint cry: "You, don't scare me..."

She bit her lower lip, with a rusty smell in her throat, while hugging Zhang Kuang, she rummaged through the pile of herbs, trying to find something useful.

The fingertips touched a small wooden box, Xia Zhitao opened it, and the transparent flowers came into view, dyed with light gold, like shining stars.

——The treasure of heaven and earth, without dirt core.

Xia Zhitao picked up the box, but her five fingers trembled so badly that she suddenly lost her strength and the wooden box fell to the ground with a "bang".

The translucent flowers fell gently, clusters adorning Zhang Kuang's heart, and the petals that were originally closed suddenly seemed to be alive, blooming layer upon layer.

One petal after another, after the petals were fully bloomed, the tiny withered pieces peeled off in clusters, fell on the thin white bones, and melted into them tenderly.

Xia Zhitao hugged him softly, but she didn't dare to vent her anger. She felt guilty and blamed herself, and scolded herself several times.

Clear water dripped down the ends of her hair, blurring her vision, Xia Zhitao closed her eyes slightly, and stretched out her hand to wipe the water drops, but someone grabbed her wrist.

Xia Zhitao was stunned, she only had time to hold her breath, after a while of spinning around, "splash" water splashed everywhere, she slammed into the pool suddenly, and was pushed to sink.

Her wrist was entwined with five fingers, and a pair of pale and slender hands covered her waist, wrapping Xia Zhitao in her arms.

Zhang Kuang opened his eyes, but Wu Mo's pupils were blank, every move was subconscious.She kissed her gently, and traced it along the side of her lips carefully, snatching all the tiny air bubbles leaking from the other party.

The other party's actions were too domineering, even unreasonable, Xia Zhitao was dazed by the kiss, and by the time she suddenly realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.

The cold air penetrated into the muscles and bones, entwined into a net, slowly peeling off the spiritual energy in the body, and violently pulling it out of the body.

Xia Zhitao's body was stiff, and she felt cold uncontrollably, her lips were cold, her five fingers were cold, and the water in the pool was also cold. She was like falling into an ice cellar, even her five fingers were covered with frost.

She had no strength anymore, tears came from the corners of her eyes, but they melted into the water again, her lips opened and closed, and she wanted to speak, but her voice was swallowed by the pool water again.

Just when Xia Zhitao was about to lose consciousness, the five fingers covering her waist tightened suddenly, and the cold air in her body suddenly dissipated, replaced by a constant stream of warmth.

She was dazed, with the sound of water in her ears, and it went away quickly like an ebb tide, and the air flooded into her lung cavity again, allowing her body to regain control.

"Cough, cough cough." Xia Zhitao was pale, lying in the arms of the other party, coughing continuously.

The two hugged each other on the shore, Zhang Kuang was already awake, she hugged each other cautiously, gently wrapped Xia Zhitao's five fingers, and slowly passed her spiritual power over.

"Zhitao..."

Zhang Kuang's voice trembled uncontrollably, his complexion was a little paler than before, Wu Mo's pupils were full of helplessness, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she bit her lower lip, her eyes were so red and her voice was trembling, "Why don't you push me away."

When she was underwater, Xia Zhitao actually thought about pushing Zhang Kuang away, but when she saw her pitiful little face, her heart softened for a moment, and she couldn't do it at all.

Xia Zhitao coughed a few more times, and finally she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You."

"Kissing skills are too bad," she said softly as she lay in the other's arms, "you need to practice more."
