Chapter 752: Lotus Flower Hot Spring

Mist rose from the hot spring, vibrant and fragrant.

The marriageable-age maidens wore only thin robes, frolicking in the water.

Chen Wuji saw this scene and unconsciously halted his steps.

The sensual scene was too much; each was so beautiful that he didn't know where to look for a moment.

While seriously appreciating, he also felt somewhat torn.

He wanted to soak in the pool too, but worried he would degenerate.

Know that it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to return from extravagance to frugality.

Once you take the first step on some matters, endless steps will follow.

Especially indulgent pleasures—this thing truly can become addictive.

Throughout history, there are far too many such examples.

And the emperors most famous for loving such pools and frolicking with beauties are none other than King Zhou and Emperor Ling of Han.

These two are typical examples of kingdoms lost due to indulgence.

Chen Wuji rather wanted to indulge once, but he was also uneasy about himself.

What if he truly became addicted to this—what then?

"Sir!"

At that moment, the maidens in the pool rose to their feet in unison.

In an instant, their myriad charms made the flowers pale, and Chen Wuji's heart skipped a beat.

"I'll indulge today, experiencing the enjoyment of ancient emperors." Chen Wuji decided to soak in the pool.

He still had to try; he couldn't constantly suppress his urges, or he'd only long for them more.

First give it a try, feel what it's really like, then he'll be mentally prepared afterward.

Chen Wuji walked into the pool.

The spring water was warm, and immersing his whole body felt very comfortable.

The slender, nearly naked maidens surrounded him like swimming fish, beginning to massage him.

That thin single garment covered nothing, instead adding a touch of elegance.

"Are you all here voluntarily?" Chen Wuji asked.

One maiden pressed close to Chen Wuji, "Yes, sir, we have no home to return to; staying here at least gives us a livelihood."

"Your family members are completely missing?" Chen Wuji embraced the maiden's soft waist.

Those words made several maidens feel downcast.

"Some died, some fled, and some followed Prince Rui to conquer the world," a maiden whispered.

"People say Prince Rui harmed our families, leaving us homeless. We don't know exactly what happened, but our homes are indeed gone, and we've long thought of what to do."

Chen Wuji felt slightly annoyed; bringing up this matter here was pointless, and he was truly idle.

"Live well, I will avenge you," Chen Wuji said.

"What you've heard through gossip is not wrong; the true culprit is indeed your former lord, Yu Ren."

Having come to this, he had no other comforting words, so he could only say that.

Live well!

The maidens bowed slightly, "Thank you, sir."

This topic instantly dispelled Chen Wuji's urge, leaving him suddenly without any thought.

"You all play as you like, I'll rest!" Chen Wuji rested his head on the stone by the pool, closing his eyes to cultivate.

It's all self-inflicted.

Clearly such a wonderful scene, yet he insisted on asking about those things.

He was truly bored to distraction!

Qian Fugui had already investigated what needed checking; asking again now only killed his interest—what other meaning could it have?

Chen Wuji even wanted to slap himself twice.

"Husband, you have such refined taste; why not call us to join you in the hot spring?"

Suddenly a voice sounded in his ear.

Chen Wuji lifted his head and saw Qin Zhanhong in a white dress and Lu Wanwan in a red dress.

The two stood by the pool with arms crossed, their movements completely identical.

Qin Zhanhong's red dress seemed to have found its successor.

"This is Qian Fugui's doing; if you two want to beat someone, go find him! That kid is tough, I didn't do anything else—just soaking in the pool, resting." Chen Wuji said.

Surrounded by beautiful women, dressed so lightly it was almost as if they wore nothing; even if Chen Wuji temporarily did nothing, it was hard to explain.

Qin Zhanhong giggled, "How could I blame my husband? He's worked hard; letting servants attend his soak is only proper. I merely mean we also want to soak—could you let us join?"

"Wait!" Chen Wuji raised his hand, "Are you sure you're not speaking sarcastically?"

If they really fought, he couldn't win.

He couldn't beat either Qin Zhanhong or Lu Wanwan alone, let alone both together.

"Husband, of course it's not sarcasm," Qin Zhanhong laughed.

"Even if you took many concubines, I have no right to interfere; moreover, it's just soaking in a pool—you're overthinking it, husband."

Saying this, Qin Zhanhong called to Lu Wanwan, "Wanwan, hurry up and take off—this pool looks quite comfortable."

"Sister, with so many people, I'm shy!" Lu Wanwan's lovely eyes flickered, she lightly bit her lip.

Qin Zhanhong grit her teeth silently, "What's there to be shy about? Hurry up and strip. Besides you, everyone here is women—what's there to be shy? What you have, they have too; moreover, look at their clothes—almost no different from wearing nothing."

"They're not shy—what do you have to be shy about?"

Qin Zhanhong said, already pulling off Lu Wanwan's clothes, then shoved her down.

Plop!

Water splashed everywhere, and Lu Wanwan, with only an undershirt left on her body, fell into the pool.

She shyly moved closer to Chen Wuji, using his body to shield her exposed allure.

Qin Zhanhong was more straightforward, openly took off her clothes, got into the pool, and sat beside Chen Wuji.

"Husband, with so many lovely young ladies, why don't you make a move?" Qin Zhanhong asked.

Chen Wuji said seriously, "I just came to take a simple soak in the pool."

"How can you act like a proper gentleman at a time like this? In this hot spring, there must be some other flavor." Qin Zhanhong smiled lightly, her gaze sweeping over the surrounding beauties one by one, "Husband, why not start with that big-eyed maiden? She's so lovely and well-proportioned; even I can't help but feel a little tempted."

Chen Wuji actually believed those words.

Although Qin Zhanhong hasn't reached the point of being indiscriminate with men and women, she very much likes to get handsy with beautiful women.

Lu Wanwan is very experienced in this sort of thing.

She has just now transitioned from strong resistance to cooperation.

Or rather, she has grown accustomed to it, letting Qin Zhanhong do whatever she wants.

Now, when they sleep at night, Qin Zhanhong has Lu Wanwan lift her buttocks for a look; although Lu Wanwan is shy and helpless, her movements are very practiced—she lifts as soon as told, letting you look however you want.

"Miss, come over!" Qin Zhanhong waved at the big-eyed beauty.
