Chapter 94: Four Women, One Stage

"Why do I get the feeling something is off about this girl?"

Meng Ziyi frowned slightly.

She had the distinct impression that little Wen Nuan was behaving very strangely.

It was almost as if she were deliberately trying to make Chu Fei bathe her.

"What seems off about her?" Zhou Mi said. "She's been gone for ten years. No one knows what she went through in all that time, so it would be normal for her to lack common sense."

That was true enough.

No one knew what Wen Nuan had experienced in those ten missing years.

And when she was found, she had been locked in a windowless underground cellar. That sort of thing would certainly leave a mark on anyone's mind.

"But no matter how little common sense she has, she can't have Chu Fei wash her!" Shen Miaoyu said worriedly. "There are still lines between men and women. As adults, we have to teach her the right ideas!"

"We have to nip this dangerous tendency in the bud!"

As soon as she said that, Shen Miaoyu hurried upstairs.

Zhou Mi and Meng Ziyi exchanged a look and followed her.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom of the room, Chu Fei first opened a packet of bubble bath salts and poured it into the oversized tub.

Then he filled it with water until it foamed up richly. Once he had checked that the temperature was right, he looked at Wen Nuan and said, "In a moment, take off your clothes and get in to wash yourself..."

Before Chu Fei could even finish, he saw that Wen Nuan had already seized the hem of her clothes with both hands and was pulling them upward.

In the past, Chu Fei had only ever liked the big ones.

But looking at the little girl in front of him, he suddenly felt that small could be rather adorable too.

Wen Nuan noticed his gaze, but she showed no panic at all. Instead, she calmly continued stripping herself bare, as though all of this were perfectly natural.

Chu Fei frowned.

He seemed to think this was somewhat improper.

So he walked out of the bathroom, intending to get a pair of glasses to put on. That way he could see more clearly and teach more conveniently.

But before he could even make it back, Shen Miaoyu burst in.

Meng Ziyi and Zhou Mi were right behind her.

Shen Miaoyu first glanced at little Wen Nuan in the bathroom, then shouted at the two women, "This guy's moving fast. He's already taken Wen Nuan's clothes off!"

Seeing that Meng Ziyi and Zhou Mi looked ready to strike, Chu Fei anticipated their anticipation.

He hurriedly explained, "I didn't do it. She took them off herself! And who takes a bath without removing their clothes? Don't look for excuses to hit me!"

Meng Ziyi and Zhou Mi really could not blame Chu Fei.

After all, this had been Wen Nuan's own request. They could hardly start a fight over that.

Shen Miaoyu called from inside, "Fine, just don't let him peep. I'll wash Wen Nuan myself!"

Then, ignoring Wen Nuan's protests, she scooped her up and tossed her into the tub, beginning to scrub the grime from her body.

The little girl kept struggling and resisting, as hard to pin down as a pig at the New Year, but it was all to no avail. In the end, she could only submit obediently.

After the bath, the naked little girl took advantage of Shen Miaoyu's momentary inattention and dashed out of the bathroom in a flash.

She went straight into Chu Fei's arms, soaking him through.

By the time Zhou Mi and Meng Ziyi reacted, it was already too late.

Shen Miaoyu, drenched from head to toe, came rushing out and saw the scene. Helplessly, she put her hands on her hips.

It seemed this little girl really was terribly attached to Chu Fei; she could not bear to be away from him even for a minute.

Chu Fei, however, was not paying attention to Wen Nuan at all. He was looking at Shen Miaoyu, who had been splashed completely wet.

Her skin clung to her shirt, and the sight was dangerously alluring.

Noticing his gaze, Shen Miaoyu quickly folded her arms across her chest to cover the sudden exposure, then shot Chu Fei a fierce glare.

She thought to herself that this guy really never missed an opportunity to take advantage.

"Chu Fei, are you hurt?" Wen Nuan lifted her bright eyes and asked with her little face tilted upward.

Chu Fei found this baffling. The one capable of hurting him in this world probably had not even been born yet.

He could only answer, "No, I'm fine. Hurt where?"

"Here."

Wen Nuan lowered her gaze.

"..."

Chu Fei was certain this girl was deliberately making him lose face.

Shen Miaoyu immediately picked Wen Nuan up and glared at Chu Fei with open disgust.

Meng Ziyi covered her mouth and laughed softly.

Zhou Mi, meanwhile, began teasing him.

As for Zhou Mi's jibes, Chu Fei was uncommonly open about it.

With a shameless grin, he said, "Who wants to go first? If you all come at once, I don't mind!"

That earned him a storm of coquettish protests and eye-rolls from the three women, along with a flurry of pillows raining down on him.

To keep Wen Nuan from continuing to tempt Chu Fei into crime, Zhou Mi had no choice but to fetch a loose T-shirt for her to wear first.

Meanwhile, Meng Ziyi took out her phone and called the secretary in the middle of overtime, asking her to buy some undergarments.

After Wen Nuan was dressed, Shen Miaoyu began blow-drying her hair while seriously teaching her what the difference between men and women was.

Chu Fei, for his part, sat nearby studying the Dewfall Herb he had just obtained.

Besides the Dewfall Herb, he still needed three medicinal ingredients to refine the Blood-Washing Pill: the Forgetting Dust Fruit, the Far Shore Flower, and the Heavenly Lingzhi.

Once he found those three herbs, he would be able to fly free together with his senior sisters!

"Little Fei Fei, what is that?" Zhou Mi, lying beside Chu Fei and playing with her phone, looked up and asked curiously.

Meng Ziyi, who was working on her laptop in bed, was also drawn to the herb in Chu Fei's hand.

"This is the Dewfall Herb. It's one of the keys to helping your senior sisters cross the line into new territory," Chu Fei said with a sly grin, looking rather lecherous.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Mi asked in surprise. "Could this thing undo the blood bond on us?"

Because of the blood bond's restrictions, they could not share any carnal bliss with Chu Fei.

That was also why they kept such a close eye on Chu Fei and Shen Miaoyu. They had no love life themselves, so why should she?

"That's right. Once I find the other three medicinal materials, I can refine the Blood-Washing Pill," Chu Fei said with a smile. "By then, I'll be counting on my senior sisters to teach me a great deal."

"What other ingredients are missing? Just have Third Sister look for them," Zhou Mi said, glancing at Meng Ziyi.

In Zhou Mi's mind, with the strength of the Meng family, finding those three herbs should not be difficult.

But taking the initiative to search for these ingredients just to break the blood bond would make her seem far too wanton.

Proud and image-conscious, Meng Ziyi naturally was not willing to help with that. That was why, even now, Chu Fei had only managed to find one of the herbs.

"Woman, could you show a little restraint?" Meng Ziyi rolled her eyes. "Are you really in such a hurry to give yourself away?"

"Aren't you in a hurry too?" Zhou Mi pointed at Shen Miaoyu and said, "Watching them have a sex life makes me more miserable than death!"

"What are you talking about? Don't you have one too?" Meng Ziyi said something astonishing.

"???"

"!!!"

Chu Fei looked at Zhou Mi as though wounded and said, "Fourth Senior Sister, you're sneaking around behind my back and fooling around with someone else?!"
