Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 363 - 62 Living Together in One Room_2

Chapter 363 -62 Living Together in One Room_2

His room was a good 100 square meters.

When he moved in, there was a privacy screen right at the entrance.

Previously finding the screen an obstruction, he had moved it to a corner of the room.

Now, under these circumstances, there was no better method than hiding behind the screen.

“Listen to your lordship!” Xie Xiaojiu saw the screen in the corner of the room and breathed a sigh of relief.

Though all this was happening as she wished, her heart was incredibly tense as the moment approached.

The screen undoubtedly provided a psychological buffer for her.

Otherwise, she didn’t know to what extent her nerves might reach.

Then.

Jiang Ning moved the screen, placing it between the two of them.

Next, he grabbed a face towel and a bath towel from the wardrobe.

“These are the towels I use for washing my face and bathing, if you don’t mind, you can use them later!” Jiang Ning said.

“I don’t mind!” Xie Xiaojiu quickly took the towels Jiang Ning handed over and held them against her chest.

“I’ll go first!” Jiang Ning said.

“Alright, my lord!” Xie Xiaojiu nodded.

Afterward, she saw Jiang Ning’s figure obscured by the screen and breathed a light sigh of relief.

Once her pounding heart calmed somewhat, Xie Xiaojiu set the towels aside.

Then she began to pour the right mix of hot and cold water into the bathtub.

Only when the water temperature was right did she start to undo the clothes on her body.

For a Martial Artist, even during the bitter winter months, they wouldn’t wear very thick clothes.

Too much clothing could be restrictive, inconvenient for moving limbs freely.

So now, the clothing on her body wasn’t much—just three layers inside and out, not much different from spring or autumn wear.

On the other side.

Jiang Ning watched with interest through the screen as Xie Xiaojiu’s graceful figure was revealed.

It was just a glimpse, but he didn’t pretend to be a gentleman of virtue.

Having come this far, he wasn’t a fool; he certainly understood Xie Xiaojiu’s intentions.

But he also had his own reservations.

In this world, even though he knew he had great potential for the future, he was still just an ordinary person at the moment.

He dared not say he could genuinely protect himself.

Especially after learning that He Jinyun’s elder brother, He Jinseng, had come to the city this morning.

Should they find him in the next day or two and a conflict arises,

And the situation evolves beyond the point of no return,

The more people he is close to, the greater his restraint will be.

Especially his women, they would be his greatest vulnerability.

Moreover, after enjoying the pleasures of Martial Arts, Jiang Ning had found that compared to a woman, the path of Martial Arts was even more enticing.

Strength returning to one’s own body, every increase in power was a huge gain and joy.

Especially the elevation and leap in the level of life itself brought him an unparalleled sense of fulfillment.

In a moment of distraction.

The sound of rustling cloth reached him as her dress hit the floor.

Under the candlelight, Xie Xiaojiu’s delicate figure was displayed without a doubt.

On the other side.

Xie Xiaojiu looked towards the screen, although Jiang Ning was in the shadows and his outline was vague.

But somehow, she could feel a gaze fall upon her, and her face couldn’t help but show a trace of shyness.

At this moment, her heart was already prepared to give herself to him.

So she was not afraid.

The next moment.

She lifted her leg and stepped into the tub.

…

Behind the screen.

Seeing Xie Xiaojiu’s figure reflected on the screen as she entered the tub and hearing the sound of splashing water.

He couldn’t help but construct an image in his mind.

The image of a beauty bathing.

“No!” Jiang Ning immediately shook his head.

He knew if he continued like this, he would inevitably succumb to the impulses of his body.

Today, he wasn’t prepared for this.

At this thought.

He shook his head to clear the distracting thoughts and promptly closed his eyes.

The next moment.

He turned his focus inward, sinking his consciousness into his body.

Soon, he began to mobilize the Qi-Blood Power within him, gathering it into a Qi-Blood mallet.

Boom—

With a tremor inside his body, he started the Bone Forging process.

Having experienced it in the afternoon, Jiang Ning was even more adept this time, executing the Heaven and Earth Evil Bone Forging Skill much more smoothly than the first time.

One strike resonated, vibrations dissipated, then another strike followed.

…

On the other side.

Xie Xiaojiu bathed amidst her immense nervousness.

She knew that with a single man and a single woman sharing a room, in such circumstances, and considering Jiang Ning was at an age brimming with Blood Qi, anything could happen!

So every moment, her heart was filled with unease.

For over two hours, Xie Xiaojiu was also tense for over two hours.

Especially when she was preparing to rise from the bathing tub, she waged a tumultuous battle within her heart before mustering the courage.

The next moment.

Sloshh—

The sound of water splashing arose as Xie Xiaojiu stood up from the bathing tub.

Unfortunately, this scene had no audience.

Because at this moment, Jiang Ning was too engrossed, wholeheartedly committed to the progress of his Bone Forging.

Soon after.

Xie Xiaojiu wiped off the water droplets from her body and wrapped her long hair atop her head with a towel.

Only then did she begin to pick up the undergarments she had set aside.

After putting on the undergarments, Xie Xiaojiu’s face couldn’t help but turn beet red.

At home, she often wore just such nightclothes to sleep.

But now was different.

Sharing a room with Jiang Ning.

As soon as she stepped out from behind the screen, her intimate undergarments would catch Jiang Ning’s eye.

Although the undergarments she was wearing now weren’t very revealing.

The upper half barely showed off a pair of arms and a girl’s waist.

The lower half only exposed half of her thighs and calves.

From the perspective of Jiang Ning’s past life, this was far less than what the girls on the beach revealed.

But this world was different.

Such attire was extremely private, generally only seen by a lady’s own husband.

For Xie Xiaojiu, this was a tremendous psychological shackles.

She bowed her head, biting her lip, her face showing hesitation.

The next moment.

She gathered her courage and took the first step forward.

After crossing the screen.

Xie Xiaojiu saw Jiang Ning sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

And then she noticed a faint rumbling sound emanating from within Jiang Ning’s body.

Xie Xiaojiu: “…”

At this moment, she suddenly stood there dumbly, her face a picture of speechlessness.

She had never imagined.

That leaving Jiang Ning in the room while she bathed by his side would result in such a scenario.

After standing dumbfounded for quite some time, Xie Xiaojiu looked down at herself.

“Am I really that unattractive?”

She felt suddenly deflated in her heart.

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ning had completed a full cycle of cultivation.

He immediately opened his eyes.

With a beckoning motion of his hand.

A jade bottle containing Iron Bone Pills appeared in his grasp.

The next moment.

He opened his mouth and inhaled.

From the jade bottle, five Iron Bone Pills, each about the size of a soybean, flew straight out.

Each Iron Bone Pill was merely about a centimeter in diameter.

As the five Iron Bone Pills entered his body, Jiang Ning once again closed his eyes.

As for Xie Xiaojiu by his side, he had no leisure at the moment to appreciate her presence.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaojiu obediently stood to one side, making no noise.

She naturally realized that Jiang Ning was at a critical moment of cultivation.

She was also filled with astonishment.

The Iron Bone Pills flying out from the bottle, she recognized them at a glance.

“His talent is truly unparalleled; he’s already begun Bone Forging! I am far behind him!” Xie Xiaojiu felt waves of emotion in her heart.

At this moment, she focused her attention entirely on Jiang Ning.

She knew that Jiang Ning had ingested the Iron Bone Pills, signifying the most critical step of Bone Forging had been reached.

In less than the time it takes for half a cup of tea to brew.

Jiang Ning proceeded as if on familiar ground, the essence of the dissolved Iron Bone Pills merging into the thirteen newly forged bones in his body.

Forging thirteen bones in one sitting was still his limit.

Once the dust had settled, only then did Jiang Ning slowly open his eyes.

The next moment.

His eyes opened slightly.

“So big,” he thought inwardly.

At this moment.

There stood Xie Xiaojiu in her undergarments before him, looking especially magnificent without the previous chest-binding constraints, in her thin attire.

“No wonder she always bound her chest before!”

Witnessing the scene before him, Jiang Ning finally understood.

For a Martial Artist, being too endowed was indeed an inconvenience for movement.
