I am naked! Stay just there!

"What is it that you want to know? Why are you looking at me like that?" Luo Yan asks, meeting Zhou Yu's face, as the guy busies himself treating his king's wound from the fight earlier.

"Your Majesty-"

"It's nothing to think about. Those beasts had no right to play with my toy." Luo Yan interrupts, aware of the gaze his right-hand man is giving him, not wanting to seem weird and unusual, he comes up with anything he could think of at that moment.

Zhou Yu heaves out a sigh and nods his head, giving a last look at his king he hangs his head down and starts applying the medicinal extract on his deep scars, thankful they had stopped bleeding.

Zhou Yu frowns as he continuously applies the semi-solid medicinal extract and looks around for a bandage, "What is it? I cannot tolerate these weird power vibes emitting off of you. Speak it out." Luo Yan says, growing annoyed with his subordinate's weird behavior.

"Your Majesty, you are not obliged to answer my questions, who am I-"

"Just brush it off. You are my most trusted man, you have been with me ever since then. I ought to know what you want and feel." Luo Yan says, clearing his throat and sitting straight.

Zhou Yu smiles before composing himself, "You let that human alive…not only that you send her back, why?"

Luo Yan looks startled by Zhou Yu's question but he composes himself, looking around he looks back at Zhou Yu and smirks, "Because…she is a mystery. I will solve that mystery slowly and make her mine."

Zhou Yu widens his eyes, "You look shocked." Luo Yan comments, chuckling, Zhou Yu closes his open mouth and clears his throat, "Your Majesty, that's very unusual of you." Zhou Yu comments, coughing a little.

"I want her. At any cost, she impressed me…more like triggered something within me, I will find her at any cost." Luo Yan declares, with a smug and determined look in his eyes which had yet to show him of his true intentions of wanting her.

"It's dark, Yang Yang. Just stop talking and let me do my thing. No one will see me if you don't make me speak." Yi Hua whispers shouts, glaring at Lu Yang Yang who scoots a little away with a pout.

"You better go and find yourself a body and find me. I am in the human world so I can now at least protect myself. Go." Yi Hua says, looking ahead, dusting her hand and turning back, grinning watching the wall she had jumped through.

"I got it covered, go." Yi Hua adds, gesturing to Lu Yang Yang to go, "Are you sure?" Lu Yang Yang asks, tilting his head and watching her, "Of course. Return back with a nice body from a nice surrounding, okay?" Yi Hua says, pressing her lips in a thin line and giving Lu Yang a warning look.

Lu Yang Yang awkwardly chuckles, "You are such a dominating woman." Lu Yang Yang complains, despite that smile on his face, "I will get going." He says, floating past through the wall while Yi Hua stands still processing Lu Yang Yang's accusation of her being 'dominating.'

"This kid is so sensitive. Hua, be nice." Yi Hua mutters, scratching her head she looks around, turning around on her feet she makes sure she checks every corner of the bathhouse which had wooden or bamboo sticks aligned as a cover, all around.

She inches closer, tiptoeing towards the door, she smiles as she sees a spring pond, that to all empty with no one around. "Oh my, it's a hot water spring. I always wanted to do this." Yi Hua squirms happily, fisting her hands up in the air.

She looks to her left and then to her right before she steadily makes her way towards the pond, "But…how will I find something to wear?" She asks, heaving out a sigh when she sees nothing around.

"I guess I need to wear these dirty clothes back." Yi Hua mutters, looking at her dress, she pouts annoyed and walks to the pond, stripping her out of her clothes, she grunts annoyedly, "Ugh! The layer of clothes I have!"

She raises her right leg and slowly dips her leg into the pond, humming in relief as the warm water embraces her, she moans out in relief, "This feels so good." She says, closing her eyes and leaning her head against the land with her body inside the pond.

"If I get to have such privilege in the palace every day…I won't mind staying here longer." She says, giggling to herself as she imagines all the maids helping her bath as she has watched in the historic Tv dramas.

She enjoys the bath for a while, calmingly, soothing the tiredness away from her body along with her exhaustion from her body and mind, before she hears, "Who are you?"

She gasps, opening her eyes wide but she doesn't dare move, she slowly hides under the water just making sure it was only her nose and eyes that were visible to the intruder.

"Turn around, you intruder!" The voice raises, startling her, "Why am I always followed by troubles?" She asks herself, cursing under her breath as she slowly turns around, making sure her body isn't exposed.

She widens her eyes as she sees a very handsome man with his well-worked chest in front of her eyes that were barely hidden by his robe, "Who are you gawking at?! Look at me in the eye-"

The man stops shouting as he takes Yi Hua's face, "You, you are a woman?!" Yi Hua slowly dips down trying to hide, she widens her eyes when she saw him taking his steps closer, "I am naked! Just stay where you are!" She shouts, startling the man who turns red with her words and looks away.

"What are you doing here?!" The man shouts, grabbing the sides of his silk robe and hiding his chiseled chest from her eyesight, feeling exposed in front of her.

"I-I…" She stutters as she tries to speak, "I just came for a bath and…had my clothes stolen!" She shouts, her hands covering her body as she peeks her head out till the water covers her by her neck with her collarbone occasionally coming in view because of the movements.

The man frowns, looking around when he catches sight of a pile of clothes by the edge of the pond, "Then those?" he asks, Yi Hua looks at her dirty clothes, cursing under her breath.

"Those aren't my clothes! Someone really stole my clothes!" Yi Hua shouts, drinking under the handsome man's suspicious yet sharp gaze wandering over her.

"Okay…but I am interested in knowing why you are on the male bathing site?" He asks, crossing his arms and narrowing his gaze as he studies a flustering Yi Hua hiding her dignity under the water.
