110: Chapter 110 The Sixth Woman, Su Miaomiao

She was led by a pretty older sister named Su Mei, first to take a bath, and then to change into a clean, soft cloth dress.

The hot water washed away the grime.

Su Miaomiao looked at herself in the mirror; it felt as if she had become much more confident.

When she was brought to Su Bai's independent courtyard.

The sky had already turned completely dark.

Su Miaomiao was carrying a wooden basin filled with steaming hot water.

On the way here, Sister Su Mei had seemingly offhandedly said to Su Miaomiao:

"Young Master is most considerate of his servants, but he also values rules the most."

"Whether you can stay and live a good life depends entirely on whether you are clever enough."

Su Miaomiao took a deep breath.

She pushed open the slightly ajar door.

...

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered.

Su Bai was sitting on the edge of the couch, resting with his eyes closed.

Hearing the movement, he opened his eyes, his suspicious gaze landing on Su Miaomiao.

"Sir."

Su Miaomiao called out timidly and placed the wooden basin gently by his feet.

Then, Su Miaomiao knelt down and reached to untie Su Bai's shoes.

Su Bai subconsciously wanted to refuse.

There was a kind of purity about this girl that made him not want to use this method to distance himself right now.

But upon second thought, he stopped.

He could feel Su Miaomiao's current trepidation.

If he refused now, she might think that he was disgusted by her.

Disgusted by her being dirty, disgusted by her lowly origins.

Weighing the pros and cons, Su Bai chose silence.

He let those small hands with thin calluses clumsily take off his boots and socks and place his feet into the warm water.

The water temperature was just right.

Su Miaomiao lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under the candlelight, masking all the emotions in her eyes.

In the time that followed, Su Miaomiao washed them very carefully.

Su Bai could feel her fingertips trembling.

Was it because of fear, or something else?

He did not speak, and for a time, there was only the subtle sound of water in the room.

Outside this tranquility, under the corridor separated by a wall, several figures were huddled together, whispering to each other:

"Sister Mei, do you think… Young Master will take this little girl in too?"

Su Mei leaned against the corridor pillar, twirling a strand of hair around her fingertip, and said with a beaming smile:

"Does that even need asking? Look at her face; once washed clean, tsk tsk, she is pitifully beautiful. Young Master loves this type."

Lin Weiwei stood to the side, and upon hearing this, she just gave a faint "Mn."

"I think he will."

Ji Yingying said with some confusion: "But she is too young, isn't she? Her body hasn't even fully developed yet."

Su Mei scoffed, shot her a sideways glance, and said:

"Young? The young ones are easier to raise. Once she's tamed, she'll do whatever Young Master says."

"You didn't see the look in Young Master's eyes when he saw her at the village entrance today; it was so intense. It was no different from back then…"

Once these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became a bit quieter.

Among the women present, who hadn't gone through the same thing?

After a long while, Su Mei sighed faintly and said with some helplessness:

"In my opinion, our Young Master's heart isn't actually that hard. As long as it's a woman, her face is decent, and she's a bit proactive, I'm afraid he won't refuse."

...

Inside the room, the sound of water stopped.

Su Miaomiao used a clean cloth to carefully dry the water droplets on Su Bai's feet.

After finishing all this, she did not stand up.

She just knelt there, her hands folded on her lap, head bowed, motionless.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Su Bai looked down at her from above.

The girl's neck was slender and fair, emitting a soft glow under the candlelight.

Su Bai knew clearly what she wanted to do.

It was nothing more than listening to the incitement of those women outside, wanting to use her own body to curry favor.

Ridiculous.

They didn't understand at all.

How could they know that a stunning appearance, in his eyes, was far less important than a special Physique.

If a Fire Spirit Saint Body loses its virginity without guidance, the primordial yin will leak away, and its value will be greatly reduced.

This is no different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Su Bai sighed in his heart and said to Su Miaomiao with some helplessness:

"Listen to me."

"You are still young; it is too early to lose your virginity now."

Su Miaomiao's body suddenly stiffened.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Before coming, she had thought of many possibilities.

But she never expected that what she would receive would be such a caring remark.

He… was he thinking of me?

He wasn't disgusted by me?

Once this thought emerged, it could no longer be suppressed.

The grievances she had suffered these past few days, the grief of her parents' tragic deaths, and the fear of the future, all turned into a flood breaking through the dam at this moment.

"Waa—"

Su Miaomiao could no longer hold back; she lunged forward, grabbed Su Bai's thigh, and began to wail loudly.

Her crying was incredibly hoarse, and hearing it at night gave one goosebumps.

Su Bai's body stiffened, and he looked at Su Miaomiao by his feet with some helplessness.

This reaction was completely beyond his expectations.

Su Bai could feel the fabric on his leg being rapidly soaked by warm tears.

He reached out his hand, suspended it in mid-air, hesitated for a moment, and finally let it gently land on her trembling back, patting it rhythmically.

After a long while, the crying gradually subsided.

Su Miaomiao raised her tear-stained face; her eyes were as swollen as peaches, and her nose was red.

She looked at Su Bai and said to him from the bottom of her heart:

"Sir… you… you really are a good person!"

Su Bai: "…"

It was the first time he had received such an evaluation.

It felt… a bit subtle.

However, he keenly noticed that the look in the girl's eyes had turned into trust.

This was much more solid than a simple physical investment.

Just as Su Bai was thinking, Su Miaomiao suddenly leaned in and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Sir, I… I will tell you a secret!"

"As a reward for not being disgusted by me!"

Su Bai raised an eyebrow, becoming interested, and said to Su Miaomiao:

"Tell me about it."

Su Miaomiao lowered her voice and whispered:

"At the foot of the Black Wind Stockade, walking east for about ten miles, there is a slope of scattered stones. Behind that slope, there is a cave covered by thatch. It is very hidden; you can't see it at all without pulling away the grass."

"In that cave, there is a… there is a purple crystal! It's as tall as half a person!"

"It's shiny and especially beautiful! As long as a person stays near it for a while, they won't feel hungry!"

Boom!

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in Su Bai's mind.

Not hungry just by being near it?

A purple crystal?

How could such a thing exist in this world!

Unless…

Unless it is a heaven and earth spiritual object containing immense energy!

Such a thing, let alone in this backwater, even looking at the entire continent, is definitely a supreme treasure that could cause countless experts to fight crazily for it!

He grabbed Su Miaomiao's shoulders and looked at her with sharp eyes:

"Is this true?!"
