Chapter 731: Men Are Such Old-Fashioned Fossils
After breakfast, Qin Xin took the opportunity to check on the situation in the Imperial City since she had internet access.Fortunately, the pigeons were obedient and didn’t fly around.
Lu Yi and his group also behaved themselves and didn’t recklessly intrude into the hot spring villa.
She browsed the internet for information on the mysterious "sleeping curse" as Qingcheng was sealed off. The entire empire began to focus on this issue, and the situation in Qingcheng was really severe—over ten thousand people infected, and more than half have already died...
Medical experts from various regions have gathered around Qingcheng to start researching how this strange illness came about.
However, all the experts were at a loss, and there were no research results or special medications available.
Patients could only wait for the judgment of fate.
Qin Xin frowned slightly; with the situation so serious, it seemed she wouldn’t be returning to the Imperial City any time soon.
She couldn’t help but browse a few cases of the curse circulating online to see what this "sleeping curse" was all about.
She barely started reading before the internet cut out.
Ah, this damned countryside.
Feeling frustrated, Qin Xin heard a knock at the door.
A man urged her, "Put on a bathrobe, and let’s soak in the hot springs."
Alright then, since the internet’s out and she can’t do anything else, she might as well check out Master Tuantuan’s private hot springs.
Qin Xin rummaged through her luggage for a long while. She hadn’t brought a bathrobe, only a large white bath towel.
After some thought, she ran the towel under her arms and wrapped it into a skirt, then tied her long hair up into a bun on top of her head.
As she opened the door.
The man was taken aback, "You..."
Is this how you’re going to soak in the hot springs?
The dazzling white of her neck and shoulders caught him off guard, making his throat suddenly feel hot.
Qin Xin responded, "Otherwise?"
Master Tuantuan, on the other hand, was dressed seriously in the most conservative style of bathrobe, with a mandarin collar, wide belt, and ankle-length, fully covered.
Why be so wrapped up—it’s not like she was going to do anything to him.
In the end, at the man’s insistence, he handed her another towel to drape over her shoulders, only then did his expression return to normal.
Walking through the backyard and following the man’s steps, they weaved around a clump of bamboo to find a very hidden entrance to a cave.
Descending the steps for a few minutes.
Finally, a small, exquisite underground cave hot spring appeared in front of Qin Xin.
Qin Xin was a woman who had seen the world—hadn’t she stayed at the five and six-star hot spring resorts of the Imperial City?
She had even entertained many foreign clients at the Imperial City’s signature hot springs during business.
However, this kind of natural underground hot spring was something she was seeing for the first time.
Majestic stalactites hung just above the hot spring, surrounded by ancient rocks shaped by thousands of years of water erosion, marked and worn.
Master Tuantuan sure had a lot of hidden treasures.
Excited, she stepped forward, rushing towards the hot spring pool.
Her foot slipped...
Luckily, the man quickly reached out to hold her slender waist, or else disaster would have struck, turning the hot spring pool into a swimming pool, with her head-first dive.
"You stay here, I’ll soak over there. Be careful, the stones are slippery—don’t walk around in the pool."
He instructed and helped her sit down by the edge of the water.
Then he moved to the other end and used a piece of cloth he brought along to set up a small "separation net" in the middle of the hot spring pool, simply dividing their soaking areas.
The key point was, with the cloth in between, they couldn’t see each other’s bodies clearly.
