[HSRGSS] Chapter 107: Peeping Incident

"KYAAA!"

Baiheng screamed as the collapsing paper screen dragged her forward, throwing her completely off balance.

Flailing wildly, Baiheng toppled headfirst.

Lucian instinctively turned toward the sound, and because of that, two snow-white breasts with their cute cherry points flashed across his vision.

What's more, after Baiheng fell, she also revealed her plump rearview to him!

Splash!

Baiheng plunged straight into the men's bath, swallowing mouthfuls of water in the chaos.

As for Jingliu, while she was frozen in place, her 'spring scenery' had also been exposed in full view.

Her bathrobe?

Before Baiheng fell, her hands had flailed and tugged at Jingliu's robe, accidentally tearing it open. In the end, not only had Baiheng failed to save herself, but she had also dragged Jingliu down with her.

Lucian silently gave Baiheng a thumbs-up in his heart and swore that for the rest of his life, he would keep her safe.

"Master, stop looking!"

Jingliu snapped back to her senses, covering her chest with one hand and raising the other.

A wall of ice immediately rose before her, shielding her figure and preserving a shred of dignity.

Jingliu could have reacted faster, but with her mind consumed by Lucian's 'taboo image,' she had been a beat too slow, leaving herself fully exposed to his eyes.

However, Lucian had already etched the vision of Jingliu's beauty deep into his memory.

Compared to when she had been eleven, her current body was enough to make any man have a nosebleed. Especially those white and beautiful breasts, that flat stomach—her proportions were flawless, a model of the highest grade.

It was only thanks to Lucian's willpower that nothing happened—any other man would never have been able to control himself.

Splash!

Baiheng struggled up from the water, coughing violently as she brushed her wet hair and fragments of the screen from her face. Her blurred and shaky vision immediately landed on Lucian, standing waist-deep in the hot spring only a few steps away.

In Lucian's deep eyes was a knowing calm, laced with amusement—a gaze that carried weight, sweeping slowly over the intruder before him.

'It's over!'

Baiheng's mind went completely blank, leaving only this thought buzzing in her head.

'It's over, it's over, it's over!'

She had been caught red-handed peeping, and in such a miserable state!

Worse still, after her tumble and frantic thrashing, her bathrobe had long since slipped away, and the hazy spring water did nothing to hide her curves from Lucian's eyes.

In an instant, shame exploded within Baiheng like a volcano, sending a rush of heat across her entire face—she wanted to scream, to sink under the water, to vanish on the spot!

At this moment, Lucian's gaze could not help but settle on a particular spot.

Before his eyes, everything was laid bare without the towel's cover.

Splash!

In the next second, Baiheng dove back into the water without a second thought—the scalding heat wrapped around her body, cutting her off from the air, and for a moment, from that suffocating gaze.

However, how long could she hide like this?

Lucian was surely still watching!

Such a realization clenched Baiheng's heart like the hand of a water ghost.

Lucian, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing for a moment, Lucian leaned casually against the edge of the pool, still staring at where Baiheng had sunk.

"Stay in for another five hours. It's really comfortable."

Lucian teased the embarrassed Baiheng with a faint smile.

"Stop teasing her, she's starting to blow bubbles."

From behind the ice wall, Jingliu's voice came, her bathrobe already adjusted.

Blub-Blub!

Sure enough, Baiheng could not hold it anymore as bubbles started to rise to the surface.

Lucian did not move and simply stared calmly.

Finally, after a few seconds, a head emerged from the water, and a gaze filled with resentment turned toward Lucian.

"You… Why are you still staring at me… Pervert! Hurry and turn around!"

Baiheng finally snapped, her voice both shy and coquettish.

As the rippling waves lapped gently against the edge of the pool, Baiheng saw Lucian move through the shimmering surface.

Soon, Lucian's voice reached her ears.

"Oh?" Lucian drawled slowly, his tone rising just slightly at the end. "A pervert, huh?"

It was a low, steady voice, roughened slightly by the hot water—it carried a note of all-knowing calm, and a faint trace of laughter.

Lucian stayed silent, as though savoring the sight of Baiheng's flustered and embarrassed state.

A moment later, Lucian continued at a leisurely pace.

"Can you tell me who was peeping at whom? Miss Pervert."

BOOM!

Upon hearing Lucian call her a 'Miss Pervert,' the word seemed to burn Baiheng inside and out before an explosion erupted inside her mind.

"I-I..."

Baiheng stuttered endlessly, unable to form even a single explanation, making the air grow thick and sweet, sticky enough to suffocate. Every wisp of rising steam seemed charged with current, brushing her bare skin and sending small, nervous shivers down her spine.

Helpless, Baiheng turned to Jingliu for aid—only to find Jingliu had erected an ice wall and adopted an aloof, uninvolved stance.

Even though they had peeping together, Jingliu had washed her hands of it?

Baiheng couldn't help but feel wronged.

"Alright! Alright!"

In the end, knowing she was in the wrong, Baiheng abandoned her useless resistance.

"I peeped at you, but you peeped at me too, so neither of us lost out, right? Just let me off, okay?"

Upon hearing this excuse, Lucian could only chuckle and shake his head.

Call her naive, but Baiheng was clever in her own way.

Call her pure, yet Baiheng was still capable of something like peeping.

"Next time, I won't let you off so easily." Lucian said with a playful smile.

If he stoked the fire any further, a mere glance would not be enough to resolve it.

In the next moment, Lucian rose from the hot spring pool and walked to the sauna, leaving only Baiheng and Jingliu behind in the bath.

Baiheng stared blankly, recalling the sight just now.

When Lucian left the water, she had stared without looking away.

She had to admit, Lucian's body was simply too perfect.

She could replay that sight in her mind forever...

"Next time you do something like this, just wait and see how he deals with you." Jingliu said calmly, her words carrying a warning.

She assumed 'deal with' meant training, hand-slaps, or copying scriptures—as for 'other meanings,' she neither understood nor considered them.

"Hmph, you're no fun. I'm not talking to you." Baiheng huffed, turning her head with a pout.

Yet despite her words, when she went out later, she would still bring back fine wine and sweets for Jingliu as always.

In fact, since she had joined Lucian and Jingliu's life, such antics happened often.

Her crow's mouth always invited trouble.

Her crash-prone fate left people exasperated.

Nevertheless, Lucian and Jingliu still cared for her deeply.

She had even moved into the Cangcheng, living with Lucian and Jingliu.

Just like that, the three of them spent their days together, another fifty years passing in a blink.

===

In the Year 7360 Star Calendar, the Xianzhou Luofu hosted a tournament known as the 'Luminary Wardance Ceremony,' inviting factions from across the galaxy to compete for the title of the strongest.

Of course, the Xianzhou Cangcheng had also received the invitation.

"Master, I want to participate, to see how far I am from the other experts."

Inside the courtyard, Jingliu mentioned the tournament casually.

""Let's go together.""

At Jingliu's words, Lucian and Baiheng spoke in unison.
