Chapter 2716: Serving the Heaven Emperor in the Bath 4

She was even hotter than when she was in the bathtub.

There was a long pause.

He said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t move.”

Then, he used his spiritual energy to dry her clothes.

Gu Chaoyan blushed instantly.

Confusion clouded her mind as she stood before the Heaven Emperor, torn between embarrassment and a strange sense of familiarity. Memories lay just beyond her reach, teasingly elusive.

Yet, amid her uncertainty, she found solace in her latent spiritual energy, a forgotten gift that effortlessly dried her skin upon exiting the bath.

“What’s the holdup?” The Heaven Emperor’s gravelly voice pierced the air, his impatience evident. “Do you expect me to dress myself?”

“Oh,” a sudden realization dawned on Gu Chaoyan.

With delicate steps, she assisted the Heaven Emperor in donning his garments, grappling with their complexity. Despite her efforts, a stubborn knot resisted her expertise, serving as a frustrating reminder of her limitations.

‘That dead knot.’

Gu Chaoyan did not know what to do.

The Heaven Emperor remained indecisive about untying the stubborn knot as the Heaven Emperor briskly departed.

Uncertain of her next move, she opted to shadow him like a timid quail, trusting in his guidance.

However, her purposeful stride was interrupted by Huailan.

Confusion clouded Gu Chaoyan’s thoughts as Huailan spoke, her words offering little clarity. “Return and rest. Your duties will be minimal from now on. Only attend to the Heaven Emperor’s bathing and meals in the afternoon. Otherwise, rest.”

Gu Chaoyan couldn’t fathom the reasoning behind this sudden change in her duties.

Huailan left.

She was probably afraid that she would miss out on her job.

Gu Chaoyan could go back and rest again, but she was still confused.

In a logical sense, Gu Chaoyan found herself in a unique position, an exception to the norm.

Unaware of the intricate dynamics at play, she had shared a bath with the Heaven Emperor in the spring, the lingering spiritual energy still coursing through her veins. Graciously, the Heaven Emperor had allowed her undisturbed rest to assimilate this energy, a fact unbeknownst to her.

Oblivious to the specifics, Gu Chaoyan dutifully followed instructions and returned, feeling the weight of fatigue settling upon her as she drifted into slumber.

The following day arrived belatedly, leaving her with scant time to assess her own cultivation before hastening to the Heavenly Palace.

Her role revolved around mealtime, a task fraught with significance at the Heaven Emperor’s elevated level of cultivation—it was no mere repast but a crucial aspect of rejuvenation.

Yet, Gu Chaoyan remained akin to a quail in the presence of the Heaven Emperor, lacking guidance from Huailan on the intricacies of serving him.

Now she knew more or less what was going on.

Since he didn’t have anything to teach him, he could only wait for the Heaven Emperor’s instructions.

Sure enough…

After a while, he said, “Have a seat.”

“I don’t have an appetite for dinner today. You can join me,” the Heaven Emperor said.

Her voice was very pleasant.

Today, he didn’t wear the silver mask anymore. Instead, he wore a golden mask that revealed his mouth.

It did look good.

Good.

The mask was nice.

Since she was allowed to eat, she would eat.

It was said that it was for recuperation. It would be a waste not to eat it.

It was good stuff.

Gu Chaoyan started to eat.

The Heaven Emperor slowly followed suit.

With each bite, Gu Chaoyan savored the delectable fare, sensing the spiritual energy within her settling into a harmonious rhythm.

Serving the Heaven Emperor seemed increasingly favorable, each small benefit bringing her profound contentment.

Just as she reached for the last morsel, a shrill female voice shattered the tranquility. “How dare you!”

Startled, Gu Chaoyan nearly dropped her chopsticks in surprise.
