CHAPTER 576 - YOU CAN OPEN YOUR EYES

"Haaa!"

Bang!

The ground shook as Li Jinxi struck the ground with her greatsword, creating a large crack in the earth, but she immediately pulled it back out to defend against Yuan's attack.

Dong!

Li Jinxi was sent flying for a few meters before stabilizing herself.

Once she stabilized herself, she immediately rushed at Yuan again.

"How long are they going to keep this up? It's already been three hours since they started fighting." Wang Ming suddenly muttered.

"I think the better question is how much stamina do they have to continuously go at each other in such an aggressive fashion for so long without any breaks. I would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago." Wang Bingbing said.

"Ridiculous strength requires a ridiculous amount of stamina to back up that strength, so it's not unnatural for them to have so much stamina." Senior Li said.

"It's no wonder why she wasn't satisfied after the competition when their match only lasted for a couple of minutes." Wang Ming said.

After fighting for another two hours, Yuan dropped his sword and said, "S-Stop! I-I give up! I am too exhausted to continue!"

He then collapsed onto the ground in a similar manner and began gasping for air.

Li Jinxi stopped moving and stood there with her entire body covered in sweat, looking like someone had poured a few buckets of water on her body recently.

She then stabbed her sword into the ground before falling onto her buttocks.

"Wow… Yuan actually lost to Li Jinxi?" Wang Ming mumbled in a dazed voice.

Besides Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang, nobody there was aware that Yuan had only started moving his body recently after spending many years on the bed as a cripple who couldn't move even a finger. It was already a miracle that he lasted this long.

Meanwhile, Li Jinxi has been training her body ever since she was young, and coupled with her unique physique, it was only natural for her to beat Yuan when it came to endurance.

However, neither of them cared about the result of their rematch, as they were already more than satisfied from the fight itself.

As for Li Jinxi, she only wanted the rematch because she wanted to fight with Yuan, not because she wanted to win.

"Are you both okay?" Senior Li approached them a few moments later.

"Yes… Just… give me… a few… minutes…" Yuan struggled to speak due to exhaustion.

"Take all the time you need, Daoist Yuan." Senior Li chuckled.

In the end, it took Yuan almost half an hour to recover enough energy to stand up again. As for Li Jinxi, it only took her half the time.

"I have never been this exhausted before. You're really a good opponent." Yuan said to Li Jinxi afterward.

"Likewise, you're the only one who can push me this far." Li Jinxi said.

"If you don't mind me asking, do you temper your body for training?" Yuan suddenly asked her.

"Yes, I do."

"Does that involve bathing in treasures with spiritual energy?"

"It does, but we mostly use herbs and medicine since actual treasures are too rare."

"So treasures really exist in this world…" Yuan mumbled in a low voice.

"Haha… Of course, they exist, Daoist Yuan. If you'd like, I can show you a few later." Senior Li said to him.

"Really?"

"Yes, but I must warn you beforehand that they're not as impressive as the treasures you find in Cultivation Online."

"That's perfectly fine."

Sometime later, they returned to the Li Family's living quarters.

"Daoist Yuan, you can use our bathroom to clean yourself. I will give you some temporary clothes for today." Senior Li said to him.

"Thank you." He nodded.

After Li Jinxi showed him the bathroom, Yuan removed his sweat-soaked clothes and quickly washed his body before entering the large bathtub to relax in the warm water that had been prepared beforehand.

"Ahhh… This feels great, especially after such an intensive workout." Yuan released a deep sigh as he sunk his body deeper into the water

Suddenly, the door to the bathroom opened, and a figure casually walked inside.

Yuan immediately panicked, as he'd removed his mask before entering the bathtub since he didn't expect any visitors.

"W-Who's there?!" He shouted as he turned his back to the door so that they wouldn't be able to see his face.

"Hm? It's just me." Li Jinxi's voice casually responded.

"L-Li Jinxi?"

Yuan quickly used his divine sense, and sure enough, Li Jinxi was the intruder, and she appeared to be completely naked. This content © 2024 .

"W-What are you doing in here?"

"What else? I was also soaked in sweat after our fight, so I came here to wash myself." Li Jinxi rinsed her body as she spoke.

Yuan was speechless. She couldn't wait until he was done? And surely, they must have another bathroom within these large living quarters, so why did she purposefully pick the one that was already occupied?

After rinsing her body, she began washing her body with soap that gave off a sweet fragrance.

Unbeknownst to Yuan, this bathroom was Li Jinxi's personal bathroom, so nobody uses it besides Li Jinxi herself.

Furthermore, Li Jinxi wasn't the type to be shy, nor does she care about others seeing her body, hence why she showed up even though it was clearly occupied.

However, that didn't mean Li Jinxi would be okay with sharing the bathroom with just anyone, as only those she approves of would receive this kind of special treatment, and in the entire Jaded Garden, Yuan was the only man that she approves of.

After washing herself, Li Jinxi approached the bathtub that had more than enough room to fit 10 people, casually submerging herself in the warm water.

She turned to look at Yuan, who was facing her with his back and said in a nonchalant voice, "I don't care about your identity or your background, so you can relax. Even if I see your face, I won't tell anyone."

After a moment of silence, Yuan turned around and showed his face to Li Jinxi.

Seeing his closed eyes, she continued, "You can also open your eyes. I don't mind if you see my body. I have nothing to be ashamed of, anyway."

"Uhh… I cannot open my eyes… because I'm actually blind." Yuan revealed to her.

"What…?"

As expected, Li Jinxi's eyes widened with shock when she heard this information.

"Y-You're blind? H-How is that possible?" Clearly, she was in disbelief.

After all, how can a blind man move around without any support, much less fight with the powerful cultivators?! That didn't make any sense!
