"Looking at the sky again?" Mu Yizi seemed to be familiar with her as she sat on the stone bench beside her and looked up at the cloudless sky.

The woman wasn't too surprised to see Mu Yunji here. She only poured a cup of tea for him.

"Have you ever heard of 'Raising your eyes to see the sun, but no see Chang'an?'" The woman spoke faintly. It was unknown if she was asking a question or sighing with emotion.

Mu Yizi glanced at her as she sipped her tea. "What's the point of this question?"

The woman smiled lightly and shook her head, "There was once someone who asked me this question and then disappeared without a trace."

"And what was your answer?" As if piqued by her interest, Mu Yizi's bright eyes looked forward to the woman's answer.

The woman's eyes also turned red as she looked at the girl who looked very similar to the man sitting in front of her, staring at her with the same pair of bright eyes. My answer is the same as yours. "

Mu Yizi raised her head and drained the cup of tea in one gulp, then said with a slight smirk, "Perhaps that person is hoping to see what this question means to you?"

After saying that, Mu Yizi got up gracefully and left without staying any longer. It was time to take a good rest after a tiring day. Plus, she had a hangover yesterday, so the smell of alcohol on her body was still lingering on the tip of her nose even after she changed clothes. It made her feel a little uncomfortable.

There was a natural hot spring at the back of the mountain, and very few people knew of it. From time to time, she would take advantage of everyone's resting time to soak in the hot water and relax her tense nerves.

It wasn't until after dinner that everyone was ready to go to bed. Only then did Mu Yizi gracefully take some clothes and head back up the mountain.

He took off his clothes and stepped into the pool. The warm spring water made him feel relaxed. Mu Yizi was leaning against a rock by the side of the pool, feeling drowsy.

She only opened her eyes when a rustling sound woke her up.

What entered his vision was a blurry figure in red slowly approaching from within the water vapor. It was unknown if it was because she had been soaking in it for too long or because she was too tired, but Mu Youzi's head was spinning and her eyelids felt heavy.

The cute girl in the water slowly closed her eyes again, her face flushing red. Shen Bai hastily jumped into the water, using the clothes in his hands to wrap Mu Yurou up.

He exerted some strength under his feet and flew from the water to the shore. He sat on the ground, afraid that she would catch a cold. Without caring about anything else, he placed her on his lap and leaned against his chest. However, no matter how she called out, Mu Yizi's eyes were still tightly shut.

Glancing at the clothes brought by Mu Yizi, he quickly moved over and threw himself onto them. He carefully placed her on top of it and fanned her with his sleeve.

When Mu Yizi regained consciousness, she felt as if her head was resting on something. Closing his eyes, he tried to recall who he had seen before falling unconscious.

Red clothes, black hair, tall stature … A clear figure gradually appeared in his mind. Wasn't that Shen Bai? Why would he appear here?

It's over, it's over. I'm bathing in the hot spring, but I'm not wearing anything. Didn't that monster see everything?

"If you're awake, then hurry up and get up. Could it be that chief Mu feels that my legs are too comfortable and wants to rest for a while longer?" Shen Bai put down his slightly sore arms and looked at Mu Yizi, who was still pretending to be asleep, and couldn't help feeling a little cute.

Mu Yizi mischievously opened one eye and saw Shen Bai staring at her. She could not continue pretending. As he sat up, his chest turned cold as he remembered that he was not wearing a brothel. On his waist was the clothes that Shen Bai had just put on. He screamed out instinctively, grabbed his clothes and jumped into the pool.

"You, you, you …" This was also the first time Mu Yiran had encountered such a situation. She was so angry that she couldn't speak while hiding in the water and pointing at Shen Bai.

Shen Bai slowly stood up and looked at his half-wet clothes. Then, he looked at the clothes in Mu Yizi's hands that were completely soaked in the hot spring. He couldn't help feeling a headache as he stroked his head. It seemed that today's trip was truly unfavorable for him.

"Clan Head Mu, don't worry. I didn't see anything." However … My only two clothes are now wet because of you. Do you want to see me go out in the light of day? " Shen Bai looked at the panicking her in the water, his brows slightly raised and the corners of his lips curled up. He did not seem worried at all that he would not be able to change his clothes. On the contrary, it was as if he was admiring Mu Youzi's embarrassment.

Only then did Mu Yizi realize that the clothes in her hands was the same one she had bought for Shen Bai. He looked at the pool side, where he stood, his hair hanging down to his chest was wet and dripping from time to time. A large amount of water had stained his red clothes, and his muscular abdomen could be seen against his waist. She blushed.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Mu Yizi's disfigured face, Shen Bai couldn't help but be a little worried.

Mu Yizi quickly said no, did he want to go into the water to have a look? He felt ashamed to think that he had been so completely naked just now.

Seeing this, Shen Bai felt relieved. Does chief Mu still want to soak in the water for a while longer? "

Right now, the atmosphere was really awkward. One was naked in the water, while the other was wet in his clothes on the shore.

"No …" "No need, go over there and turn around. You're not allowed to peek." Mu Yizi pointed to a large stone not far away. It was a good thing that she had previously discovered that place, otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do today.

Shen Bai looked towards the direction she was pointing at. He did not say anything further and walked towards that direction. Hiding behind a rock and listening to the rustling of the clothes behind him, he couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Mu Youzi, who had good hearing, could not help but ask.

"No, nothing. It is just that it is rare to see the heroic and unyielding Mu Wang revealing the side of his little girl.

Mu Yurou could hear him teasing her, but it was true that this situation was too embarrassing, so she could not say anything.

"Alright, you can come out now!"

When Shen Bai came out, he saw Mu Yizi holding onto a white shirt that was already soaked to the skin and pouring water into it.

"It's better if I do it myself for such a small matter. I shall not trouble Clan Master Mu anymore. " Shen Bai pretended to take the clothes from her hands, but she didn't want to reject him.

"Goodbye. After all, I was the one who helped you get wet. "You go ahead and wash first, I'll go and get some firewood to help you dry your clothes."

It was unknown what she was hiding from, but Mu Yizi left with her head lowered, leaving Shen Bai staring at her back in a daze.

Perhaps the task assigned by his master was not as boring as he had imagined. Shen Bai curled the corner of his lips. Without further ado, he slowly took off his clothes and stepped into the pool.

When Mu Yizi returned, Shen Bai was already leaning against a rock, closing his eyes in thought.

He took out the fire piston from his bosom and lit a small fire. Mu Yizi skillfully placed a simple rack on top of a tree, and when she put her clothes on, she couldn't help but glance at the figure in the pool.

"If you want to see, why don't you look at it openly?" Without even turning his head, Shen Bai knew that the lecherous girl was spying on him, which surprised Mu Yizi.

He cleared his throat as if to hide it, "Ahem, who …" "Who's looking at you." Mu Yizi quickly lowered her head, curious how did he know she was spying on him. Could it be that his martial arts had reached such a high level?

"I don't need to use kung fu to know that you're spying on me. After all, I've already seen what you're like as a rogue."

Mu Yizi's heart skipped a beat. Could he actually hear my heart? How else would he know what I was thinking?

After a long period of silence, Mu Yizi tried calling out to Shen Bai, but no response came. Remembering how she had fainted due to bathing in the hot spring for too long, she knew that the situation was not good and quickly went to check it out.

Unexpectedly, just as she approached, she was almost pulled into the water. He staggered and instinctively swung his fist at Mu Youzi.

Shen Bai didn't think that he was only trying to joke around with this little girl, but he was almost beaten black and blue. He tilted his head to the side to avoid her attack.

It didn't matter if she dodged it, but it made Mu Yizi lose her balance and fall straight into the water.

After a few flops, both of them were soaked with sweat.

"What are you doing!?" Are you messing with me? " Mu Yizi wiped the water off her face and pointed at Shen Bai in anger as she roared.

Shen Bai did not know whether to laugh or cry, "I didn't!" Suddenly, his gaze shifted to her body. The wet clothes stuck to her delicate and exquisite body. At this moment, the curves of her body could be clearly seen due to the clothes that stuck to her body.

"You're still looking?" Mu Yizi noticed his gaze and quickly crossed her arms in front of her chest. A pair of apricot eyes glared at him with full fury.

"I really don't have any!" Shen Bai wanted to cry, but no tears came out. In his heart, he felt that Mu Yizi was more like a teenage girl, pretending to be an adult.

Mu Yizi climbed up to the shore with much difficulty. It was all thanks to the fire she had built earlier that she had caught a cold.

He was trembling as he sat next to the fire. His appearance was no different from that of a beggar on the street, causing one's heart to ache.

"Why don't you put on that white shirt? Take it off and roast it a little faster. " Perhaps it was because he felt guilty for his prank, or because she looked really pitiful, but when Shen Bai kindly warned him, he was directly sent back into the family.

"It's none of your business!"

Not long later, Shen Bai tilted his head slightly to the side and said, "Clan Head Mu, could it be that you want to stay here and watch me take a bath?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said it, but the moment he said it, Mu Yizi remembered that she had been seen falling into the hot spring for no reason at all, causing her to become even more infuriated. He spoke as if he was venting his anger, "A man like you is afraid of being looked at?"

When Shen Bai did not answer her question, it made Mu Youzi feel a little strange. Hearing the sound of water dripping, she curiously looked up. He saw that person stand up from the pool without any hesitation and slowly walk towards him. She couldn't help but stare with wide eyes.

"Have you seen enough?" Shen Bai looked down at Mu Yizi condescendingly, thinking to himself, "This girl doesn't know how to avoid things at all." Did he want to see him, or did he want to see others as well?

No way, no way. It was better to give her some pointers.

Mu Yizi quickly withdrew her gaze. How did she know that this fellow had really walked out of the pool naked!
