Chapter 501

Shien had long since sensed that Caroline was spying on him.

Fate Perception's senses were much stronger than Shien's in the past. It wasn't just limited to hostility and magic, but could also sense all kinds of malicious intent and life auras. Add to that his heightened sixth sense, Shien could see through all lies. If he couldn't sense that someone was watching him from the shadows, then it would be a waste of such a powerful skill.

However, Shien didn't plan on paying attention to Caroline.

He knew that Caroline was just worried about a man like him walking around the elven homeland. She didn't want to do anything to him.

Thus, Shien let her be.

Now, the other party actually walked out so openly and told him about this matter. Was he really that fearless? Or was this person so rigid that she didn't even know how to hide it?

Shien didn't know, and he wasn't interested.

All he knew was that he couldn't get along with this inflexible girl at all.

Thus, Shien's tone towards Caroline wasn't the slightest bit pretentious.

"Since you're here, then tell me where the bathroom is."

Shien asked Caroline directly. He couldn't be bothered to disturb … ah, no, alarm the elven girls around him.

However, Caroline's reply was unusually straightforward.

"No."

Caroline took a tenth of a second to reply.

"What did you say?"

Shien was stunned.

"I said no." Caroline said expressionlessly, "There's no such thing as a bathroom in the elven homeland. Otherwise, do you think we wouldn't have one in the treehouse?"

So it wasn't that he couldn't find a bathroom, but that there was no such thing as a bathroom?

… Who was she kidding?

"Then how do you bathe?" Shien ridiculed. "Don't tell me that elves don't bathe or go to the toilet."

Even Caroline couldn't help but glare angrily at Shien when she heard the words "go to the toilet".

Didn't this man know what he should say and what he shouldn't say?

"We bathe and never use a bathroom," Caroline said stiffly. Caroline's tone was stiff. "As a part of nature, we elves always clean ourselves in rivers or lakes."

Shien understood.

That's what she said, right?

"Do the elves bathe in rivers or lakes in the open air?"

Shien's imagination ran wild.

Could it be that there was a river or lake in the elven homeland that was filled with naked elven maidens?

Sean could almost see the beautiful elves laughing and playing in the rivers and lakes as if they were just born.

… Should I use Inner Perception of Destiny to sneak over and take a look?

No, I'm not going over. How can I be that kind of person?

I just want to test the effects of Perception of Destiny. I don't have any dirty thoughts at all.

As a Heaven's Will Skill that he had fused with countless other skills, he had to confirm the power and effect of these Heaven's Will Skills.

That's what I'm thinking. It's very pure, that's right.

Unfortunately …

"You'd better not do anything you shouldn't." As if she could guess what Sean was thinking, Caroline said coldly, "It's precisely to prevent a man like you from doing dirty things that I'm monitoring you. Even if I don't monitor you, with the queen's palace around, no movement in the elven homeland can escape the queen's notice. I advise you to dispel any thoughts that have arisen in your heart."

"Ahem, don't slander me so casually." Shien coughed dryly and said seriously, "Do you think you're some peeping Goddess who can read minds? What right do you have to say that I have dirty thoughts? "

Doubts immediately appeared after these words were said.

"Peeping Goddess?"

Caroline was startled.

"I … I've been discovered?"

A certain Goddess of Nature who had been following Shien closely was also shocked.

This goddess didn't know that Shien wasn't referring to her, but someone else called Nyen.

Caroline, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention to Shien's words after the initial shock.

Perhaps she thought that Shien was talking about Lilith?

Caroline said faintly.

"I can't read minds, but I know that when this matter is mentioned, you men will have the same reaction. Hero Mithra was like this back then."

Caroline's words made Shien sigh with emotion.

That was, whether or not one was a hero, they were all pitiful men.

He was like that, and so was Hero Mithra from a thousand years ago.

But Shien still wanted to say it.

"Senior, you've tarnished the reputation of the Hero."

He felt that after coming to the elven homeland, the great image of the hero who defeated the Demon King seemed to be gradually collapsing.

Of course, on the surface, Shien still had to say something.

"Since you don't know how to read minds, then don't spout nonsense. Does our reaction mean that we have dirty thoughts in our hearts? Isn't it because he's worried that you little elf girls might freeze in the river or lake? "

Hearing this, Caroline was speechless.

"Elves are the favorites of nature and won't be affected by natural temperatures. As long as it's not man-made or magical power, elves won't feel hot or cold."

Caroline's gaze toward Shien became somewhat disdainful.

It was clearly the gaze of a man who wanted to do something bad but was caught clumsily trying to defend himself.

But the heavens had pity on him. Shien really didn't know this kind of knowledge.

Elves won't be affected by natural temperatures?

Alright, as expected of a naturally born magical race, nature's favored children. This was practically the living proof of the unscientific saying.

"So, there really aren't any bathrooms in the elven homeland?"

Shien was still a little unwilling to give up.

"No." Caroline was still as straightforward as ever. "We love nature and are close to it. For us, entering rivers and lakes to clean and bathe is a habit and instinct. Let's not talk about going out to train, but in the village, we all do the same. Even the queen does the same. There are no so-called bathrooms in the elven homeland."

Now, Shien understood a little.

He understood why Rosie had run off to find Merica alone.

"Could it be that she already knew about this and was unwilling to bring me along, and was afraid that I would run off to peep at the elven girls bathing? That's why she was acting so sneakily, right?"

The corner of Shien's mouth twitched.

This was entirely possible.

Otherwise, why didn't that fish-catching princess bring him along?

If he had only gone to find Merica or played in the elven homeland, that girl definitely wouldn't have let him off and would have dragged him everywhere.

"That unlucky child …"

Shien made up his mind to teach that princess a good lesson tonight.

As for how that princess knew about this, Shien suspected that it was La Xia's doing.

That maid appeared and disappeared mysteriously. She would always inexplicably gather all kinds of tourist information about the places she went to, such as the location of the hotel, the location of the restaurant, the ingredients for cooking, and so on. She would find out more than anyone else.

This way, it was very likely that the maid had already arranged for the girls to bathe in advance.

Otherwise, forget about Ai Yi, it was impossible for Lilith to be coaxed to sleep without bathing.

"That expressionless maid …"

Shien gnashed his teeth.

At this moment, Shien felt as if he was being targeted by the whole world.

In this elven homeland, he really had no status.

No, he had to find a way to get back at them.

As Shien began to consider this matter, he asked Caroline.

"Then what should I do?" Shien said. "You can't ask me not to bathe, can you?"

If this elf dared to say, "Aren't all men smelly?" If that was the case, Sean wouldn't mind punching her in the chest and saying, "Aren't women all soft?" to retort back.

Fortunately, Caroline wouldn't go that far.

"The queen said that you'll be treated the best. Since that's the case, we'll naturally prepare it for you."

Caroline turned around.

"Follow me."

After tossing these words down, Caroline walked forward.

"Prepare?"

Shien muttered a few words, then followed her unwillingly.

Along the way, Shien met many elven girls.

These elven girls all had the same reaction. First, they jumped in fright and hurriedly retreated to the side. Then, they sneaked glances at Shien, both fearful and curious.

Shien felt as if he had come to the wrong place. He didn't want to complain anymore.

"Hurry up and wash up."

This was Shien's only thought.

… …

With Caroline leading the way, Shien arrived at an unknown place.

This was deep in the forest, some distance away from the elven homeland.

Not far ahead was the boundary of the elven homeland. It was said that there was an endless mountain range outside.

"You can bathe here."

The bathing area Caroline had prepared for Shien appeared under such circumstances.

Sean's eyes widened when he saw the scene in front of him. He was stunned.

"A hot spring?"

Yes.

What appeared before Shien was a hot spring.

And a very large one at that.

It was about twenty or thirty meters in diameter and a dozen or so meters wide. It was like a small lake, big enough to bathe a hundred people, let alone one.

Looking at the hot spring that was constantly emitting hot air, Sean was very surprised and astonished.

"Is this what you meant by 'prepared'?" Shien blinked. "Was it dug out on the spot?"

"Of course not," Caroline said indifferently. "This hot spring has existed for a long time, so long that it was already here when Her Majesty the Queen was born. She often used it when she was young, and occasionally later on. Few people know of its existence, so it's just right for you to use."

She retracted her words.

His treatment was actually quite good, wasn't it?
