"KYAAA!"
Baiheng scread as the collapsing paper screen dragged her forward, throwing her completely off balance and sending her flailing wildly before she toppled headfirst.
Lucian instinctively turned toward the sound—and because of that, two snow-white peaks with their cute cherry tips flashed across his vision.
However, it still wasn't over.
Right after Baiheng fell, she also revealed her plump buttocks to him in full glory!
Splash!
As Baiheng plunged straight into the n's bath, she swallowed mouthfuls of water in the chaos.
At the sa ti, Jingliu, who was frozen in place with her brain still processing what had happened, had her 'beautiful peaks and secret garden' exposed in full view.
Her bath towel?
Before Baiheng fell, her flailing hands had tugged at Jingliu's towel, accidentally tearing it open. In the end, not only had Baiheng failed to save herself, but she had also dragged Jingliu down with her.
Lucian silently gave Baiheng a thumbs-up in his heart and swore that for the rest of his life, he would keep her safe.
"Master, stop looking!"
Jingliu finally snapped back to her senses, covering her chest with one hand and raising the other.
*Kacha-Kacha—*
A wall of ice imdiately rose before Jingliu, shielding her figure and preserving the last shred of her dignity.
Even though she could have reacted faster, with her mind consud by her master's beautiful body, she had been a beat too slow, leaving herself completely exposed to his eyes.
Lucian naturally had already etched the vivid image of Jingliu's beauty deep into his mory.
Compared to when she had been eleven, her current body was enough to make any man have a nosebleed—especially those white, perfect peaks and that smooth, flat stomach.
He had to admit, her body proportions were truly flawless, a model body of the highest grade.
It was only thanks to Lucian's willpower that nothing had happened—any other man would never have been able to control himself.
*Splash!*
*Cough!* *Cough!*
Baiheng struggled up from the water, coughing violently as she brushed her wet hair and fragnts of the paper screen from her face.
In the next mont, her blurred and shaky vision imdiately landed on Lucian, standing waist-deep in the hot spring only a few steps away.
In Lucian's deep eyes was a knowing calm, laced with amusent—a gaze that carried weight, sweeping slowly over the intruder before him.
'It's over! I'm screwed!'
Baiheng's mind went completely blank, leaving only this thought buzzing in her head.
'It's over, it's over, it's over!'
Needless to say, not only had she been caught red-handed peeping, but she had also ended up in such a miserable state at that!
Even worse, after her tumble and frantic thrashing, her towel had long since slipped away, and the hazy spring water did nothing to hide her naked body from Lucian's sharp gaze.
In an instant, sha exploded within her mind like a volcano, sending a rush of heat across her entire face—she wanted to scream, to sink beneath the water, to vanish on the spot!
Clearly, everything was laid bare without the towel's cover.
*Splash!*
In the next second, Baiheng dove back into the water without a second thought—the scalding heat wrapped around her body, cutting her off from the air, and for a mont, from Lucian's suffocating gaze.
However, how long could she hide like this?
Lucian was surely still watching.
Such a realization clenched Baiheng's heart like the hand of a water ghost.
"Hahaha..."
Lucian, seeing Baiheng's panicked and embarrassed reaction, couldn't help but laugh, which only made her even more flustered.
In the end, after laughing for a while, Lucian leaned casually against the edge of the pool, his eyes still fixed on the spot where Baiheng had sunk.
"Stay in there for another five hours. It's really comfortable." Lucian teased with a faint smile.
"Stop teasing her, she's starting to blow bubbles." Jingliu's voice ca from behind the ice wall, her towel already adjusted.
*Blub-Blub!*
Sure enough, Baiheng couldn't hold it anymore as bubbles began rising to the surface.
Seeing this, Lucian didn't move and simply stared calmly.
"Fuahhh!"
A few seconds later, a head finally erged from the water, and a gaze full of resentnt turned toward Lucian.
"You… Why are you still staring at !" Baiheng snapped, her voice both shy and coquettish. "Pervert! Hurry up and turn around already!"
As she spoke, the rippling waves lapped softly against the edge of the pool, making Lucian's reflection ripple across the shimring surface.
Lucian, a faint smile gracing his face, remained silent for a mont before opening his mouth.
"Oh... a pervert, huh?" Lucian muttered slowly, his tone lifting just slightly at the end.
It was a low, steady voice, roughened a little by the hot water—it carried a calm, knowing weight, and a faint trace of amusent.
He stayed silent for a while, as if savoring the sight of Baiheng's flustered, embarrassed state, before speaking again at a leisurely pace.
"Can you tell who was peeping at whom, Miss Pervert?"
*BOOM!*
Upon hearing Lucian call her 'Miss Pervert,' the na seed to burn Baiheng inside and out before an explosion erupted inside her mind.
"I-I-I-I..."
Baiheng stuttered endlessly, unable to form even a single explanation, making the air grow thick and sweet—sticky enough to suffocate. Every wisp of rising steam seed charged with current, brushing against her bare skin and sending small, nervous shivers down her spine.
Helpless, Baiheng turned to Jingliu for aid—only to find she had already erected an ice wall and adopted an aloof, uninvolved stance.
Even though they had peeped together, Jingliu had washed her hands of it?
Baiheng couldn't help but feel wronged.
"Alright! Alright!"
In the end, knowing she was truly in the wrong, Baiheng abandoned her useless resistance.
"I peeped at you, but you peeped at too, so neither of us lost out, right? Just let off, okay?"
Upon hearing this excuse, Lucian could only chuckle and shake his head in amusent.
Call her naive, but Baiheng was clever in her own way.
Call her pure, yet Baiheng was still capable of sothing like peeping.
"Next ti, I won't let you off so easily." Lucian said with a playful smile.
If he stoked the fire any further, a re glance would not be enough to resolve it.
In the next mont, Lucian, with a white towel wrapped around his waist, rose from the hot spring pool and walked toward the sauna, leaving Baiheng and Jingliu behind in the pool.
Baiheng stared blankly at the closed door, her mind replaying the scene she had just witnessed.
When Lucian stepped out of the water, she had kept her eyes fixed on his body—never looking away, not even blinking.
It was, in truth, rather shaless of her, but still, she had to admit—his body was simply too perfect to be ignored.
"Next ti you do sothing like this, just wait and see how he deals with you." Jingliu said calmly, her voice carrying a quiet warning.
"Hmph, you're no fun. I'm not talking to you." Baiheng huffed, turning her head away with a pout.
Yet despite her words, whenever she went out later, she would still return with fine wine and sweets for Jingliu, just as always, acting as if nothing had happened.
In truth, ever since she had beco part of Lucian and Jingliu's life, such antics had occurred quite often.
Her jinxed mouth always invited trouble.
Her crash-prone fate left people helplessly exasperated.
Nevertheless, Lucian and Jingliu still cared for her deeply.
Now, she had even moved into the Xianzhou Cangcheng, living together with Lucian and Jingliu.
And just like that, the three of them continued to spend their days together—and in the blink of an eye, another fifty years slipped by.

In the Year 7360 Star Calendar, the Xianzhou Luofu hosted a tournant known as the Luminary Wardance Ceremony, inviting factions from across the universe to compete for the title of the strongest.
Of course, the Xianzhou Cangcheng, as one of the Xianzhou Alliance, had also received the invitation.
"Master, I want to participate, to see how far I am from the other experts."
In the courtyard, Jingliu ntioned the tournant casually and expressed her wish to participate.
"Alright. Let's go together."
Lucian, already expecting that Jingliu would take part in the Luminary Wardance Ceremony sooner or later, naturally did not object.
" too! too! Let's go together!"
Baiheng excitedly raised her hand, wanting to go as well to cheer for Jingliu.
In the end, after so discussion, Lucian, Jingliu, and Baiheng decided to go together with the delegation of the Xianzhou Cangcheng.
