Bathroom.
A dicinal bath generally refers to adding certain Chinese herbs to the water before bathing, promoting health as the dicine is absorbed through the skin, moving through the ridians to reach the organs, thereby regulating organ function, balancing Yin and Yang, promoting blood circulation through the ridians, and nourishing the entire body.
So, after learning about the benefits of dicinal baths, Xu Chang’an had let Yun Qian use them many years ago.
But he eventually gave up.
Because dicinal baths not only failed to improve Yun Qian’s physique but also disrupted her body’s balance, causing various adverse reactions like headaches and palpitations.
In the end, Xu Chang’an, with his lack of dical expertise, transford Yun Qian’s dicinal bath into... simply sprinkling petals of peonies and begonias.
Petals are rich in lipids, not only making them sll pleasant but also relaxing stiff bodies.
...
Xu Chang’an took out Light-Containing Grass, Dusk Cloud Flower, Flying Star Lotus he bought, added them to the bath bucket in proportions, then poured in Spiritual Spring from Celestial Bright Peak, and took out a small bottle.
This was the Spiritual Liquid he bought from Shi Qingjun with a small amount of points.
"This... shouldn’t be ordinary stuff."
Xu Chang’an looked at the faintly visible broken Dao Patterns in the spring water, hesitated only briefly before carefully dripping a drop of Spiritual Liquid into the water as per Shi Qingjun’s instructions.
"Drip."
The instant the Spiritual Liquid entered the water, ripples spread out and reacted with various herbs in the water, releasing an elegant fragrance. In Xu Chang’an’s eyes, the broken patterns engraved themselves into the spring water, finally adhering to the exquisite wooden tub, seeming like a golden yellow glaze enveloping the entire tub, reflecting a gentle glow under the lamp, mysterious and extraordinary.
"Is it to lock in the Spiritual Qi?" Xu Chang’an was surprised after doing all this.
The Spiritual Liquid given by Senior Sister Shi... truly wasn’t ordinary, he was indeed deeply indebted.
The lotus glistened brightly, especially when two hearts were aligned.
At this mont, the herbs Xu Chang’an placed in the water had completely dissolved, leaving no trace, while faint lotus petal shadows resembling a sunset cloud manifested on the water surface.
After a while, these mysterious shadows dissipated, and the entire water surface appeared as clear as a spring.
"Even the Immortal Sect’s dicinal baths are dicinal baths." Xu Chang’an suddenly worried, not knowing if Yun Qian could adapt, but Shi Qingjun had ntioned the Spiritual Power was overly concentrated, suggesting they bathe together.
Even if Yun Qian felt uncomfortable, he could sense it imdiately, so the matter should be fine.
Xu Chang’an stood in front of the bathroom, took a deep breath, and thought about various precautions for the dicinal bath.
It’s best to bathe half an hour after a al—it’s already past the hour.
Those with weak hearts need soone to watch over them—he was right by her side, not going anywhere.
The ventilation is good.
The temperature is regulated by an array in the bathroom.
...
After Xu Chang’an prepared everything, Yun Qian slowly opened her eyes, awakening from her dreams.
She had so dreams neither too long nor short.
Being taken care of ticulously by her husband was indeed sothing she liked very much.
After moxibustion, Yun Qian only felt a warmth beside her, accompanied by dizziness and a dry mouth.
"Miss, you’re awake." Xu Chang’an helped her sit up and put on clothes, then handed over the prepared warm water.
Yun Qian hurriedly drank the water, waking up a bit more, turning to look around, she noticed the sky was dark, it was raining heavily outside, and fire stones on the wall emitted a warm glow.
Yun Qian shook off her sleepiness and asked, "What ti is it?"
"Not too long ago." Xu Chang’an took the empty bowl and poured her more water.
This ti Yun Qian drank the water with much more grace, glanced at the window, and then held Xu Chang’an’s hand.
"Moxibustion, I like it very much." Yun Qian slowly said.
"When have you not liked it?" Xu Chang’an smiled, thinking Miss Yun was always sleepy when she woke, showing a cute, slightly clingy deanor.
However, don’t think Yun Qian was just befuddled; Xu Chang’an had tried asking her secrets as soon as she woke up but ended up suffering for it.
"The moxibustion is nice, but I... don’t feel too well." Yun Qian was sweaty, her body sticky, naturally uncomfortable, needing a good wash.
"I’ve already prepared hot water, just waiting for Miss to go in." Xu Chang’an narrowed his eyes, seeming like a hunter laying out a trap.
"Why are you smiling?" Yun Qian looked at Xu Chang’an, who seed like an old fox, tilting her head.
"Nothing." Xu Chang’an coughed: "This ti... I’ll join you."
"Really?" Yun Qian replied, lifting her damp long hair from her ear, calmly extending a hand to Xu Chang’an.
Xu Chang’an naturally carried Yun Qian into the bathroom’s mystic passage, changed clothes, then took a dry towel and gently draped it over Yun Qian’s shoulders, entering the bathroom together.
Yun Qian entered the bathroom and blinked.
She saw the originally spacious bath pool was empty, with a single wooden tub placed in the center, unusually conspicuous.
The large bath pool had no water, while the small tub was filled with hot water, steam rising, making one feel warm.
Yun Qian leaned over to look at the circular tub, slightly taller than her waist, with so petals scattered inside.
"Why a wooden tub." Yun Qian’s hair fell loose, she pointed to the center bath pool: "Isn’t there a ready one?"
Xu Chang’an explained truthfully: "Sprinkled petals and stuff from the Immortal Sect, needs water volu control... As for whether it counts as a dicinal bath, I’m not sure."
"dicinal bath?" Yun Qian squinted her eyes upon hearing this.
Xu Chang’an: "..."
He looked at Yun Qian’s silent appearance, thinking this was indeed the case; past dicinal baths had brought Yun Qian dizziness, palpitations, nausea, and other bad experiences, naturally leading to hesitation.
But to Xu Chang’an’s surprise, Yun Qian only paused for a mont.
"Help in, my legs feel weak, I can’t stand steadily." Yun Qian gestured at the tub’s height, picked up a footstool beside the tub to step on.
"Miss, won’t you feel uncomfortable hearing it’s a dicinal bath?" Xu Chang’an couldn’t help but ask, expecting Yun Qian to inquire, allowing him to explain the sect’s herbs’ mildness.
"dicinal bath, does it matter?"
Yun Qian calmly gazed at the not-so-large wooden tub, her eyes unwavering as she said: "Isn’t it because... wanting to bathe with , you chose a smaller tub to be closer?"
Xu Chang’an: "..."
Outside, the rain pattered; Xu Chang’an stood frozen for a while until Yun Qian gently nudged him, then he snapped out of it, sighed lightly: "Miss is right, my little thoughts really can’t hide from you."
"Hm." Yun Qian responded, she entered the water under Xu Chang’an’s support, slowly sitting down.
The hot water just barely reached her collarbone.
Yun Qian exhaled warmth, feeling very comfortable, she slightly leaned back before looking at Xu Chang’an, indicating she made room for him.
"Co in."
