I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 60

“Tangneng First-class” opened its doors to great fortune, but so far the business is dismal.

All the guests were pulled away by the neighboring restaurant, and no one has entered the shop for an experience yet.

Situ Yanyu diligently stood in front of the women’s bathhouse counter, ready for business, whereas Situ Kong, the old man, lacked any sense of duty and once again soaked himself without a care.

He even started humming a little tune while soaking in comfort.

“You go take a dip too.”

Li Xiaobai ignored the small ragged dog’s resistance and threw it into the pool.

“Woof woof woof!”

After a bout of frantic splashing, the small ragged dog’s eyes focused, and it quieted down, feeling the power within its body growing bit by bit. The pool’s effect was terrifyingly effective.

After a moment of stunned silence, the small ragged dog looked refreshed and wore a face full of enjoyment.

“Eh, when did this place turn into this? Wasn’t it a tea house before?”

“What does ‘Tangneng First-class’ mean?”

“A bathhouse can be a store?”

A few young people peeked inside curiously.

“Welcome to our humble shop. We will provide you with the most sincere service,”

Li Xiaobai approached with a big smile on his face.

“What kind of place is this? Taking baths, such a private matter, and you’re actually running it as a store? This is simply indecent!”

One of the more refined-looking youths frowned, as it was obvious this was a public bathhouse. Could it be they actually expect everyone to soak together? What a breach of decency!

“You’re mistaken, taking a bath is a culture. To soak comfortably, you need to master the temperature, which is quite sophisticated.”

“Bathing relates to a person’s pursuit. If you only want to clean your body, there’s no need to come to our bathhouse. If you really want to soak comfortably, you should learn the intricacies involved.”

“Oh, there’s more to this?” the youths were somewhat curious.

“Of course, soaking at home is too one-sided. In our bathhouse, you soak in social graces. Here, you can meet all sorts of people, encounter all sorts of things. Everyone soaking together in one pool, meeting candidly, that closeness—it advances quickly.”

“When the feelings are right, you’ve got everything under control, don’t you agree?”

“Moreover, our bathhouse has the effect of assisting in cultivation. Cultivating here for an hour can be more effective than using a Spirit Stone!”

Li Xiaobai said with a smile.

“And the price?”

After hearing about the cultivation aid, they were somewhat eager, having never seen a similar shop before, wondering about its effects and prices.

“Please look at the wall.”

Li Xiaobai pointed to the large characters on the wall.

“Men’s Bathhouse: Ten Lower Grade Spirit Stones/half an hour, Overnight stay: One hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Women’s Bathhouse: Eight Lower Grade snacks/half an hour, Overnight stay: Eighty Lower Grade Spirit Stones.”

“What kind of prices are these, so expensive!”

“Brother, not even Moon Watching Tower next door dares to charge like this, are you robbing us!”

“We’re not bathing, we’re not bathing, let’s go!”

A few young people pretended to leave.

“Ahem, Yan Yu, come out and attend to the guests.”

Li Xiaobai was unfazed, understanding the minds of young people all too well.

The door to the women’s bathhouse opened, and Situ Yanyu walked out.

In white clothes and a white skirt, her eyes were clear and skin was as smooth as white jade.

Upon seeing Situ Yanyu, all the youths were stunned; the woman was too beautiful, like a banished celestial, and even in coarse linen clothes, her charm was unstoppable.

“Gentlemen, how many hours would you like to wash?”

“Half an… oh no, two hours!”

“Alright, please come inside.”

Situ Yanyu smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, causing the young men’s faces to redden and drool to uncontrollably dribble from the corners of their mouths.

“Hehe, alright, alright, thank you, miss,”

A few people walked into the pool absentmindedly, not even bothering to undress. Li Xiaobai couldn’t be bothered to care, knowing that once they discovered the benefits of the pool, they would be eager to come for a bath.

After a few breaths,

several exclamations erupted from the pool.

“My God, I’ve actually made a breakthrough!”

“I’ve reached the seventh level of the Qi Cultivation Stage!”

“Me too, my bottleneck has loosened, I’m going to break through the sixth level of the Qi Cultivation Stage right now!”

“What kind of bathhouse is this, it’s too miraculous, just by soaking in it, our cultivation level can actually increase!”

“This time I can save the Breakthrough Pill that the elder gave me.”

Ultimately, the allure of increasing one’s cultivation level trumps even beauty, and upon realizing the surge of Spiritual Energy within their bodies, the youthful cultivators all became exhilarated.

The owner really hadn’t lied to them; this bathhouse truly had the effect of enhancing one’s cultivation level.

Spending twenty Lower Grade Spirit Stones for an increase in cultivation realm is worth it!

Watching the blissful faces of the few in the pool, Li Xiaobai smiled faintly, as the youngsters had been captivated by his little shop.

Becoming the richest man starts from this moment on!

The street was bustling with carriages and horses, and there was quite a crowd. Before long, a few more cultivators arrived, both men and women.

After seeing the slogan in front of the door, they entered the bathhouse out of curiosity.

Then they immediately spotted the people soaking in the pool.

“Boss, your bathhouse is quite special.”

“Let’s go, Sister Thirteen, there’s nothing interesting here.”

“Let’s look a little longer, Brother Ya, I think this place is pretty good,”

The female cultivator’s voice was gentle and tender. Li Ya felt a little uncomfortable; Sister Thirteen was usually so hot-tempered, what’s gotten into her today?

At this moment, Sister Thirteen couldn’t move any further, her eyes fixed on Li Xiaobai sitting in front of the counter.

His handsome features, melancholic charm, and half-dead smile nearly melted her heart.

How could there be such a man in the world, and why had she only met him now!

“Let’s go in for a soak,”

Sister Thirteen couldn’t take her eyes off Li Xiaobai for even a moment. The others, having no choice, followed her inside.

“Boss, set us up for a bath,”

Sister Thirteen was soft as water, yet Li Xiaobai didn’t even lift his head, which disappointed her somewhat.

“Yan Yu, come out and attend to them, there’s a female cultivator,” Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

“Okay.”

Situ Yanyu once again stepped through the door, and the male cultivators instantly stared, gazing dazedly like fools, their eyes greedy, lingering on her enticing curves.

“How many hours are you soaking for?”

“We’re staying overnight!”

The people spoke in unison.

“Hehe, Sister Thirteen, observe carefully, your Brother thinks you’re right, this place is indeed very good, worth the experience!”

All of them were not short of money and paid for the Spirit Stones readily, plunging into the bathhouse to soak.

However, it was clear that these people were quite traditional in their thinking; they only took off their shoes without removing their clothes and soaked in the pool.

Shortly afterwards, the air was filled with more cries of astonishment, including the piercing cries of women’s sopranos.

“Foundation Establishment Realm Great Perfection, I’ve broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm Great Perfection!”

“This bathhouse can break through one’s cultivation level, hurry up and get big brother and the others over here!”

“Who exactly is the owner…”
