Chapter 250

250 Once Upon A Time in A Hot Spring

(Jane’s PoV)

There was no trace of malicious emotion in the air. It was hard to track the portal if I didn’t know what kind of devil coming out from the weakened borderline. The last time it happened in Merapi Mountain, the thick bloodlust as the part of negative aura was easy to detect. This time, however, I couldn’t detect anything.

What was it?

Hm, my eyes felt heavy. I felt sleepy. Was it possible for a spirit to feel sleepy? Maybe it was because I worked too much. I might have been using too much spiritual energy to deal with the portals and the devils which caused my lethargic feeling right now.

Maybe, laying down for a bit would be okay. Just for a while. But, what was this nagging feeling I felt? It was like... I had something important to do. What was it?

...

...

Ah, right. I needed to find the portal.

But... maybe later. I could do it later. For now, I should take a rest. Everything could be done after I had my nap.

.....

Yes.

With that thought in mind, I did lay down on the couch in the lobby. I forgot that I was just a spirit and everything I felt was actually unreal. Still, I closed my eyes and felt into a sleep.

It was not a deep sleep, since I could still hear my surroundings. It was just my consciousness was drifting away.

I had been running for several minutes already, passing many rooms and even witnessing some embarrassing situations in some rooms, but I still couldn’t find the portal.

Where was it?

I knew that I was getting closer to it, but where was it?

I pulled open the door where I felt the aura became especially denser without thinking. What I found in front of me left me stunned and red with embarrassment.

Yes, the portal was there. I could see it and sense it. But, how could it appear in a male’s hot spring bath?!

The picture of several naked men sprawling around here and there in the bath really made my head almost go dizzy. I was stopped at the door for several good minutes, contemplating whether I should go inside or not. Brainwashing myself repeatedly that I had seen naked men before seemed to not affect me so much.

Still, I knew that I needed to step forward and closed that damn portal!

Come on, Jane, you can do this! I encouraged myself. Just pretend they are dolls. They are all sleeping, so there is nothing for you to worry about.

With that thought in mind, I braved myself and stepped forward. I was aware that my face was flushing red, but still I took another step.

They are sleeping, they are sleeping, they are sleeping...

I chanted that in mind repeatedly as I was getting closer to the portal. Wait! Now that I had a better view of the location of the portal, I realized that the portal was not placed vertically like a door. Instead, it looked like a hole in the middle of the hot spring!

Ugh, should I go down there? I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. Who made this bath this spacious? One could easily put one hundred people inside and there would still be room for this stupid hole without obstructing anything.

“Uugh...” My ears caught a small grunt in this quiet place. Despite it was very soft, I could still hear it. Somehow, there was a trace of sexiness in it. I was quiet familiar with it.

Was it my imagination? Was anyone awake?
