Chapter 88. The Thoughtful Ninth Prince
She pointed toward the snow-white blossoms that were in full bloom.
Before long, the vivid red rose petals and the snowy jasmine petals mingled together, drifting down in a shower of petals into the jade bathtub that was sending up wisps of heat.
When Bai Li Tianchang looked at the tub, she saw that the surface of the water was already covered with rose petals and jasmine petals. The glossy fresh petals floating there were truly a lovely sight.
She had not expected that Nalan Di Jiu was not merely boasting; he could actually do it.
Bai Li Tianchang could not help but sigh inwardly.
“Go on. Take a beautiful petal bath, and then we’ll set off in high spirits for the Space Cliff,” Nalan Di Jiu urged her.
“Ninth Prince, do you think I can calmly enjoy a beautiful petal bath in a place like this?”
Leaving aside the fact that this was the Devil Forest, with the Ninth Prince standing right here she would not dare do such a thing!
“Little fairy, I am aboveboard and upright, a true gentleman. Are you afraid I might peek? Rest assured, I have already made all preparations. I guarantee that you will be perfectly safe.”
After saying that, Nalan Di Jiu waved his hand once more.
With that motion, a powerful barrier sprang into existence.
“You are inside the barrier, and I am outside it. We shall not interfere with one another. You have your own private space, and need not worry about safety either. Just put your mind at ease.”
Standing within the barrier, Bai Li Tianchang tried looking around, and indeed, aside from the colorless, shapeless barrier that was as transparent as air on all four sides, she could see nothing else.
If she had not heard Nalan Di Jiu speaking to her, she would have thought he had already left her side.
“Little fairy, first use this to wash your hair and body clean, and then get into the bath.”
Nalan Di Jiu was so considerate that he thought of every last detail.
As soon as his words fell, a bar of soap-like cleanser flew into the barrier.
Bai Li Tianchang caught it. The next moment, a stream of warm water, like a shower in the modern age, slowly poured down from the top of the barrier.
A warm feeling rose in Bai Li Tianchang’s heart.
The water was just the right temperature.
Though she could not see Nalan Di Jiu, she could imagine that he must be using water magic to summon the water while also using fire magic to heat it.
And he controlled the temperature so perfectly.
This showed just how far his mastery of water and fire magic had already reached!
Within the barrier, Bai Li Tianchang used the soap to wash away the mess of her tangled hair and her bedraggled state, then called out to Nalan Di Jiu, “I’m done. You can stop the shower now!”
She stepped into the large jade bathtub and discovered that the bottom of the tub had been made with an anti-slip design.
How thoughtful.
Was he really someone who was always waited on, rather than someone who waited on others? How could he be more considerate, more meticulous, and more attentive than every servant in the world?
Seated in the bathtub, Bai Li Tianchang soaked comfortably in the lovely petal bath. Because the space inside the barrier was relatively sealed, the fragrance of the roses and the jasmine intertwined, now light and fresh, now rich and full, the scent filling her with a sense of peace, ease, and delight.
