Bath Water

In the regional chat channel.

"The barracks have finally been built today, and two more swordsmen have been promoted. This is going to be great."

"Young miss is so powerful!"

"Apart from big brother Jiang Chen, young miss mu is the strongest in our region, right?"

"I think so. I heard that young miss came from a martial arts background and was able to kill gray wolf single-handedly before changing classes. Now..."

"According to my estimation, little sister has opened more than six maps."

"I heard that there are soldiers with special classes who can fight two or three wolves by themselves. I'm so envious. I was worried about the beast attacks."

"I heard from the world channel that there is a lord named Lu En who has a class change altar and a team of lancers."

"Not only that, Lu En also owns three flying griffins. He was able to develop so quickly all because of the three griffin-summoning scrolls he obtained at the beginning."

"I heard that he's already opened the tenth piece of the map. I wonder who's faster compared to big brother Jiang."

"It's hard to say. I'm stronger than big brother Jiang, but opening a map isn't something that can be done quickly just because you're strong."

Jiang Chen did some calculations.

Mm, he had already opened up fifteen maps.

Six in the first circle.

Eight in the second circle.

One in the third circle.

Five of these maps had already been included in the territory. If they continued to be included, the resources consumption would be a bit too great. The main thing was that there were too many things that needed to be built at the moment.

Money had to be spent on all sorts of places.

"The more you develop, the poorer you get!"

Everyone in Jiang Chen's territory was bustling about.

The manufacture of weapons. The construction of buildings. The spearmen and soldiers patrolled the surroundings.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was rather idle.

He returned to the manor's small building.

At this moment, the large wooden buckets in the bathroom of the small building were already filled with heated water.

This water had come from a small river a few hundred meters to the south.

The small river a few hundred meters to the south wasn't dangerous, and the water source for drinking in the territory didn't come from there either.

There were a few commoners bathing in the small river.

The conditions were acceptable. The temperature wasn't too cold now either. The farmers in charge of logistics boiled the water. They poured it into the wooden tub in the bathroom.

This tub of warm bath water could be said to be a luxury that many lords couldn't imagine.

Their territory had already begun to take shape.

As a Lord, he still had this bit of privilege.

Jiang Chen walked into the bathroom.

"I can finally take a good bath."

He sat in the wooden tub and began to wash his body with a slightly coarse linen cloth.

Four days!

Do you know how he spent these four days? !

Alright, compared to the other lords, Jiang Chen's life these two days was like that of an immortal.

He lived better than others. He ate better than others. He didn't fight much either.

Most of the time, he commanded others or ran around to open treasure chests.

However, running in the wild and living in the open all the time was quite taxing on his body, and his body had long since been covered in mud.

It had long since been unbearable.

However, he hadn't had the conditions before, and could only wash his face and simply wipe his body.

"I feel great now."

"Not only is the water temperature just right, but I'm also in the Lord's small building. There's no need to worry about danger."

This was the most relaxed moment Jiang Chen had ever been in this world.

He soaked too comfortably and stayed there for more than half an hour before he got up.

He was dressed in simple linen clothes.

He had just finished washing, and he didn't want to wear leather armor that reeked of sweat.

"AI, there's still a lack of people specifically responsible for washing clothes."

He also knew that this was too extravagant.

There were only a dozen or so individuals in the entire territory.

Take it slow, this was only the beginning.

The subjects began to rest.

There were no clanging sounds, and the night became very quiet.

Only the bonfires were burning. He could faintly see the figures of the soldiers standing guard in the distance.

Jiang Chen walked out of the small building, the wind blowing.

He suddenly noticed that not far away, Lucy wanted to speak, but hesitated.

"Lucy?"

"Aye! Lord."

She jumped in fright, as if she wanted to say something, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

She only lowered her head and looked elsewhere.

Jiang Chen was at a loss.

Wait. He recalled that Lucy had helped out when the aunties were boiling hot water just now.

She seemed to be...

"You want to take a bath?"

"Mm."

Her voice was so low that it was as soft as a mosquito's.

If it wasn't for the fact that Jiang Chen's physical fitness had improved and his hearing was extraordinary, he might have overlooked it.

But at this time, the subjects had already begun to rest and wanted to boil another bucket of bath water.

It wasn't very realistic.

"I haven't emptied the water in the tub yet, if you don't mind..."

"No, no, no... I don't mind."

The night was a bit dark.

But Jiang Chen could also see that Lucy's face was flushed red, as if steam was constantly rising from it.

As a clean-loving mage who ran in the wild every day, she'd long wanted to take a bath.

But to take a bath by the river?

This was absolutely impossible for her.

Fortunately, the Lord..

Mm, the Lord was an extremely good lord.

...

Within the small building, Jiang Chen sat in the chair in the living room, somewhat distracted.

Even though the bathroom door was closed, his ears could hear the movements within.

Such as, such as.

And such as...

Being too powerful was really troublesome.

Otherwise... it was as if a demon was trying to seduce him in his mind.

80 loyalty was rounded up, which was equivalent to 100 intimacy.

He could do something about it.

"No."

An angel appeared in his mind, allowing him to maintain his rationality.

God River Crab was watching from the sky.

The little lord didn't dare to court death.

Furthermore... Lucy was one of the two great experts under him.

He couldn't affect her fighting strength at this time.

There were still many days left.

Jiang Chen felt that the angel Lord was right.

He only allowed Lucy to stay in the small lord's building. There were five bedrooms in the small building.

As a lord, it was quite reasonable for him to have someone close to him to protect him.

He lay on the large bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Lucy lived next door and tossed and turned.

...

The sun shone through the window. Jiang Chen got up from the large, soft bed. He opened the door and saw Lucy outside.

"Good Morning, Lord."

"Good morning, Lucy."

Jiang Chen looked at her.

After washing up in the morning, it was even more difficult for Lucy to hide her beauty.

Her fair skin and elegant cheeks.

It was just that she seemed to have dark circles under her eyes.

"You didn't sleep well last night?"

Jiang Chen felt that it was strange.

The resting environment of the manor was clearly much more comfortable than that of a second class residence.

Why didn't she sleep well instead?

He shook his head.

Women were strange.
