Chi Li closed his eyes, curled up in the soft animal-hide bedding. His fiery red ears and tail drooped listlessly.
He buried his head in the crook of his arm, not wanting to see anyone.
But at that exact moment, a Beast Servant came to announce that some female named Xue wanted to see him.
Chi Li revealed one eye from the soft hide bedding, a watery glint in it. "...Tell her to get lost."
The Beast Servant immediately realized the Witch Doctor was having another nightmare and quickly asked, "Should I prepare a bowl of Awakening Medicine for you?"
"No need."
Chi Li yawned and slowly climbed out of bed, as if the glint of tears just now had been an illusion. He had returned to his usual lazy and arrogant demeanor. "Get that female away from me. Also, prepare a tub of water for my bath."
Chi Li loved to bathe.
Bathing three or four times a day was normal for him.
Every time he immersed himself in the warm water, he felt disconnected from the clamor of the world.
