This Pill's open-air hot spring had always been the most popular place in the world.

Regardless of whether it was a long knife or a short knife, they all liked to relax in the hot spring for half an hour to an hour after dinner.

There was even a sauna room next to the hot spring for the Fu Mourning God, who liked to sweat.

It wasn't just the Fu Mourning God. In winter, monkeys would come from the deep mountains and secretly soak in the hot spring in the middle of the night. When they cleaned up in the morning, they would see a pile of fruit remains. The Fu Mourning God didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but they didn't know whether to stop them.

After all, animals couldn't keep warm in winter. If this little bit of hot water could help them survive the whole winter, it would be a good thing.

So the Fu Mourning God deliberately diverted the hot spring water and opened up another small pool not far away. The temperature was lower, but the scenery was better, and it was suitable for animals to use.

Since then, the monkeys didn't bathe in the Fu Mourning God's pool, but … they came more frequently. They could be seen all year round.

Today, they were also soaking in the hot spring.

At first, Ryūsei was shocked by the steaming hot spring, but when he saw the monkeys in the small pool not far away, he couldn't look away.

He had seen these animals on TV before. He pointed at the furry primates and said in shock, "Gorilla!

Gorilla! "

Candlestick Cutting said, "… Well … Although they look like gorillas, they're not gorillas. They're monkeys."

Ryūsei's mouth was wide open for a long time. He didn't even notice that the small towel around his waist had fallen to the ground. He was about to run over to see the monkeys when Candlestick Cutting stopped him.

"Ryūsei -sama, you can't do that."

Candlestick Cutting led him to the side of the shower. "Mr. Monkey is bathing. They don't want to be disturbed."

Ryūsei realized his mistake and quickly nodded. "I'll be good!

I won't disturb you! "But in the end, he didn't give up. From time to time, he would turn back to look at the monkeys.

It wasn't until Candlestick Cutting turned on the shower and adjusted the water temperature that Ryūsei stood up abruptly as if he was frightened. He turned around and tried to escape, but he tripped over the small stool under his feet. Fortunately, Candlestick Cutting caught him by the waist, so his knee didn't get bruised.

Candlestick Cutting checked carefully and found that his lord was not injured. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he asked, "Ryūsei -sama, what happened to you?"

Ryūsei stared at the showerhead fearfully, her voice full of grievance. "No, it's scalding me … okay?"

Candlestick Cutting thought for a moment and turned off the shower. "Do you hate hot water?"

Ryūsei thought for a moment and nodded.

Candlestick Cutting patiently guided the child to speak. "Why do you hate hot water?" He had clearly mentioned that he liked the rain before.

Ryūsei's vocabulary was too limited, so he couldn't describe his feelings. After a long time, he only managed to squeeze out one sentence. "Hot water … poured on … my … body, painful … very, very painful!"

Candlestick Cutting frowned subconsciously when she heard this.

The painful hot water that was poured on the body probably wasn't just hot water …

Ryūsei seemed to recall something terrible. Her little face scrunched up in fear.

Seeing the child's reluctance and rejection, Candlestick Cutting changed the way the child got used to the heat.

Candlestick Cutting spread out the light blue cartoon towel in his hand, soaked it in hot water, and wiped Ryūsei's hands.

"Is it hot?"

It was just wiping his hands, so Ryūsei didn't reject it. He shook his head and looked curiously at the fox on the small towel. "Fox Assistance!"

The Fox's Assistance pattern on the towel attracted Ryūsei's attention. He stared intently at the light blue towel and found that after wiping his hands and arms, it turned black.

He reacted half a beat later and asked, "Am I dirty?"

Of course, he was dirty.

The people of the Government of the Hour weren't considerate enough to give Ryūsei a bath. In fact, when Ryūsei was imprisoned, he had very few chances to take a bath.

"Of course not." Candlestick Cutting scrubbed the towel in clean water and gave Ryūsei a clean Fox's Assistance. "Fox's Assistance is helping to take care of your appearance. You have to cooperate, okay?"

Ryūsei didn't understand the word "appearance", but he still obediently listened to Candlestick Cutting's words and raised his hands and feet. He didn't want to make Lord God and Fox Assistance angry.

Candlestick Cutting changed the basin of water with a higher temperature and continued to scrub Ryūsei. He quietly let Ryūsei get used to the hot water little by little.

When the scrubbing was finished, Ryūsei had forgotten his fear of the hot water. He obediently sat on the small stool under the shower and let Candlestick Cutting wash his hair.

"Can't open your eyes?" Candlestick Cutting gently massaged the child's scalp and said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Ryūsei nervously covered his eyes, but in less than two seconds, he anxiously asked, "Is, is, it, done?"

"Not yet?"

Ryūsei had to wait for another two seconds. "… Is, it, done?"

"Wait a little longer."

"… Okay?"

"Just wait a little longer." Candlestick Cutting almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He quickly diverted the child's attention. "Is the massage comfortable?"

Ryūsei hesitantly answered, "Yes, it's comfortable …"

His hair was gone. Washing his hair was not tiring, but … he couldn't open his eyes. He was so anxious …

He nervously sat on the small stool and didn't dare to move.

"Lord Ryūsei, lower your head."

"Okay …"

"You can't open your eyes yet."

"Ugh …" Ryūsei clenched his small fists tightly. He didn't know who he was fighting with.

When the hot water poured down from the top of his head, Ryūsei couldn't help but cry out in alarm. However, he still obediently complied with the agreement with Candlestick Cutting and didn't open his eyes to escape.

After a while, he gradually calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

It … didn't hurt at all.

And it was so comfortable … The pleasant fragrance of flowers, the comfortable hot water, and the gentle massage of fingers on the top of his head …

Ryūsei almost couldn't help but open his eyes to see if he was dreaming.

After rinsing off the foam, Candlestick Cutting simply combed Ryūsei's long hair and tied it into a small ball.

Ryūsei curiously touched the back of his head and shook his head from side to side as if it was new to him.

Without waiting for Ryūsei to finish studying the tail on the back of his head, Candlestick Cutting brought Ryūsei to the edge of the hot spring. "Do you want to go down and try it?

It's very comfortable to soak in the hot spring. "

This was yet another new world that Ryūsei had never seen before.

The hot water in the pool was steaming and had a pungent smell of sulfur. When he looked out, he could see a clear night sky and a serene bamboo forest. Not far away, he could even see a few monkeys sitting in the pool, leisurely scratching each other's itches and lice.

Ryūsei had never smelled sulfur before. He sniffed and looked around curiously for a long time. Then, he lay on the edge of the pool and slowly stretched out his hand. He only dared to touch the surface of the water with the tip of his finger, and then immediately withdrew his hand.

… It wasn't hot!

Ryūsei stared blankly at his finger and dipped his hand into the water again.

This time, he didn't take it out immediately. Instead, he played with the water like a little duck and looked at the clear hot spring water under the moonlight. He couldn't help but look forward to it.

So interesting.

There were so many things that he had never seen before. So interesting!

He dawdled on the edge of the pool for a long time. Candlestick Cutting didn't rush him. He just sat quietly and watched Ryūsei stretch out his hands and feet. When he felt that Ryūsei's body was about to turn cold, he wiped Ryūsei's body with a hot towel to prevent the child from catching a cold. Fortunately, the edge of the hot spring was very warm.

After testing the water for a long time, Ryūsei held Candlestick Cutting's arm and stepped into the water.

The depth of the hot spring was a little high for a child. If he sat down, he would be above Ryūsei's head. But when he stood, he stopped at Ryūsei's neck. Only his head was above the surface of the water, looking back and forth curiously.

"Is the water too hot?" Although he had let Ryūsei adapt to the temperature in advance, Candlestick Cutting was still a little worried.

Ryūsei's face was red from the hot water, and he slowly shook his head.

"Are you tired of standing all the time?"

Ryūsei clung to Candlestick Cutting's arm and shook his head again.

"Is the hot spring comfortable?"

Ryūsei reflexively shook his head. After a while, he nodded his little head again.

His attention was obviously distracted by the hot spring.

Suddenly, someone shouted from outside, "Candlestick Cutting, can we come in?"

"Yes!" Candlestick Cutting responded, "But don't scare Mas … Ryūsei -sama!"

Ryūsei was shocked to see a large group of Fu Mourning God swarm in and surround the hot spring. This scene scared him so much that he immediately shrank behind Candlestick Cutting, wishing that he could hide under the water with his head.

He was still reflexively afraid of the scene of a group of people together.

Candlestick Cutting quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, everyone is just here to take a bath. Just like the little monkeys, they are also here to take a bath as a family …" As he spoke, he gave a look to the Fu Mourning God around him.

The Swords and Knives could only disperse and deliberately talk to each other in an attempt to create a more relaxed atmosphere.

With no one looking at him, Ryūsei was slightly relieved. He stuck his head out to look at the Fu Mourning God.

Snickersnee was lining up to rub each other's backs, complaining that Bodo was covered in mud. Bodo was worried that he was too strong and scraped his skin from the Five Tigers Retreat.

Tsuru Maru was holding a shampoo bottle and reading the ingredient label on the back, complaining that the shampoo Gokusen Kanazane had chosen was too strong. Cut Long Grain., who was listening by the side, said that compared to the smell, it was more important to choose a child's shower gel and shampoo that did not hurt the eyes.

Gokusen Kanazane rolled his eyes in a very ungraceful manner when they spoke, but he still said, "Okay."

A family … The little monkeys are all here to take a bath as a family!

Ryūsei suddenly understood.

It turned out that the gods were also a family, no wonder they had such a good relationship!

Candlestick Cutting did not know what kind of misunderstanding Ryūsei had. He only noticed that Ryūsei did not seem to be nervous, and he was focused on playing with the water with his head lowered.

Snickersnee was the first to jump into the hot spring. Bodo even took out a small toy.

It was a rubber duck.

It was only the size of a child's palm, and its yellow feathers were dazzling. It swayed on the surface of the water and squeaked when Sui Xiong pinched it.

With a gentle push, the duckling's orange flat beak hit Ryūsei's nose.

Ryūsei did not dare to touch Fu Mourning God's things, but his eyes were full of curiosity and desire, glued to the rubber duck.

"This is for you!"

Bodo quietly approached Ryūsei. "The flowers you gave me are very beautiful. This is my gift to you!"

"I …?"

Ryūsei noticed that the distance between them had shortened. He slowly took a step back, hid in Candlestick Cutting's shadow, and asked timidly, "For … me?"

"Yes!"

Bodo nodded. Because he was not wearing glasses, his green eyes reflected a more brilliant light. "I hope my lord will think of me every time you see it!"

Ryūsei was stunned for a long time before he reached out to touch the duckling.

He touched it once, but no one said anything. He touched it again, but still no one stopped him.

Sui Xiong carefully held the rubber duck in his palm and gently pinched its wings.

"Quack!"

The duckling squeaked.

Ryūsei hugged the duckling tightly as if it was a baby. He touched its head, touched its mouth, and rubbed it gently on his cheek. He could not help but smile.

"Duck, duck … cute!"

He secretly glanced at Bodo, and then glanced again. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.
