Chapter 122 – I'll Help You Wash? 1
"Ah! This… I think I have it!"
"I'll look for it!"
Mei Aoxue was no longer concerned about embarrassment and quickly replied as she rummaged through her inventory.
'Looks like I should remind Han Qinxue and her sister to prepare in advance as well.'
'So that if they encounter this kind of situation later, they'll be ready. Better safe than sorry.'
Zhou Han quickly thought ahead and made mental notes about their situation.
"Brother Han, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Brother Han, are you preparing for the ninth floor?"
Ou Huang and Gou Tuo asked in confusion when they saw Zhou Han suddenly stop.
"Oh, it's nothing. You two wait up here for a bit."
"I'll go down to the seventh floor with Mei Aoxue. I have something small to take care of."
Zhou Han said calmly, noticing faint traces of red staining Mei Aoxue's skirt.
He had to help cover for her. If this got exposed and spread, it would be extremely awkward.
For a girl, something like this going public would be social death.
After speaking, Zhou Han directly led Mei Aoxue toward the seventh floor.
"Damn! What is Brother Han doing? Don't tell me he's going for some wild—"
Gou Tuo showed a lewd grin.
"No way, Brother Han is insane… I'm so jealous." Ou Huang said enviously.
In their minds, deliberately avoiding the others and going down to the seventh floor could only mean one thing.
...
"Did you find the pill?"
After arriving in a corner of the seventh floor, Zhou Han asked.
"Yes, look. I only have these two pills left."
Mei Aoxue quickly handed them over, clearly anxious.
Zhou Han didn't hesitate and activated his appraisal skill.
[Healing Pill]
Quality: Gold
Description: A low-tier pill that rapidly restores HP.
Effect: Restores 100 HP per second for 60 seconds after consumption.
Note: Effects do not stack when taken simultaneously.
Zhou Han strengthened it five times, hoping for a better effect.
[Healing Pill +5]
Quality: Gold
Description: A low-tier pill that rapidly restores HP.
Effect: Restores 500 HP per second for 60 seconds; also has a bleeding-stoppage effect.
Note: Effects do not stack when taken simultaneously.
"Hmm? Not bad. It even has a hemostatic effect. This should work."
Zhou Han's eyes lit up after seeing the effect. The first pill already turned out useful after strengthening.
"Take this first."
He handed the enhanced pill to Mei Aoxue.
She trusted Zhou Han completely and swallowed it without even checking.
Within seconds, her expression changed slightly, then she showed a relieved smile.
"It really works!"
"Zhou Han, thank you so much!"
Mei Aoxue said gratefully. Without him, she didn't know how she would have handled this situation.
"Alright, go change your clothes quickly."
Zhou Han was still thinking about clearing the dungeon and urged her.
"Then turn around! How am I supposed to change if you're looking?"
"Right, right. Hurry up!"
Mei Aoxue naturally had spare clothes in her inventory.
"Do you have water?"
Zhou Han felt a tap on his shoulder, followed by Mei Aoxue's voice.
"Yes, what do you need it for?"
Zhou Han asked in confusion.
"I… I want to wash a bit."
Mei Aoxue was extremely embarrassed. Earlier she was too anxious to feel shy, but now the embarrassment had fully set in.
She didn't even know why she had ended up in such a situation with someone she had just met today.
"Mm! Washing is good for health."
"Here, take it."
Zhou Han handed her a large bottle of water. It wasn't a bath, but it was enough.
"T-thank you…"
Mei Aoxue's voice was barely audible.
"Then wash up properly. I'll head up first."
Zhou Han didn't want to stay in such an awkward situation and turned to leave.
"W-wait, don't go!"
"Why? Want me to help you wash?" Zhou Han teased with a grin.
"N-no! You wish!"
"Just… stay and keep watch. What if Ou Huang and Gou Tuo come down?"
Mei Aoxue said anxiously.
"Fair enough. Hurry up then."
Zhou Han sighed.
"Afraid of Ou Huang and the others seeing it, but not afraid of me seeing it?"
'She really trusts me a lot.'
Zhou Han thought silently.
Soon, the sound of flowing water could be heard, making Zhou Han slightly restless.
No man could remain unaffected by a beauty like Mei Aoxue in such a situation.
But peeking was too dishonorable, and Zhou Han couldn't bring himself to do it.
'I wish a snake would show up or something…'
He thought, hoping for an excuse to intervene.
Unfortunately, nothing happened.
When he was lost in thought, Mei Aoxue had already finished and walked over.
"Let's go. Thank you, Zhou Han, for wasting your time with me."
Mei Aoxue wore a light green dress, still her usual conservative style, wrapped tightly.
Yet even so, she remained extremely attractive.
"What… what are you doing?"
When she saw Zhou Han lean in and sniff, Mei Aoxue became alert.
"There's a smell… and it's pretty strong."
Zhou Han said after noticing it.
"What smell?"
"Blood smell."
"What?! What do I do?"
"I'll blow it away for you."
Zhou Han raised his hand, releasing a gentle gust of wind.
After a few minutes, he felt it should be enough.
"Now smell again."
Mei Aoxue leaned closer herself, worried.
"Hmm… still there."
Zhou Han said immediately after checking.
"Ah! Then blow again?"
"No need. Because now it's not blood smell… it's fragrance."
