Chang Yuan knew better than anyone else that the whole world would make way for you if you were capable. If you were a good-for-nothing, then you would have to bear the ruthless contempt and wanton trampling of everyone.
Therefore, when he thought of Qian Ze's slightly contemptuous expression when he said that he had the penta spiritual roots, Chang Yuan's heart tightened. He was inexplicably afraid that Jiujiu would abandon him because of his penta spiritual roots.
Jiujiu arrived at the Sword Peak after a quarter of an hour on her sword.
After the two landed, the sword hovered in the air for a while before being directly absorbed into Jiujiu's body.
Jiujiu turned her head and looked at Chang Yuan, whose face was dirty and whose head only reached her waist. He was wearing clothes of unknown color that exuded a foul smell. She frowned slightly with a look of disgust.
Both Shuiyue and Jiujiu loved cleanliness. Even though Jiujiu knew that Chang Yuan's original appearance was extremely handsome, she was still unable to suppress her subconscious disdain toward Chang Yuan, who was so dirty that his body emitted a foul stench.
Jiujiu took two steps back and slightly held her breath, "I'll take you to wash up first."
When Chang Yuan saw Jiujiu's move and heard that Jiujiu wanted to take him to take a bath, he thought that Jiujiu was disgust and his depressed mood instantly turned into shyness.
Even when he was a beggar, he loved cleanliness very much.
However, when he came all the way from Luo City to the Flowing Cloud Sect, he had to eat and sleep in the open every day. At night, because he did not have money to stay in an inn, he had to sleep on the streets. Not only did he have to guard against people stealing his little money, but he also had to guard against wild dogs that ate him as a corpse.
He did not even have time to rest, let alone have the energy to take a bath.
He was used to his appearance before and did not feel anything. At this moment, when he saw Jiujiu covering her nose and saying that she wanted to take him to take a bath, he felt embarrassed.
However, since Jiujiu was willing to take him to take a bath, she did not dislike him as much as he thought.
Jiujiu brought Chang Yuan to the natural hot spring of the Sword Peak. After throwing down a set of bathing utensils and a set of clothes, she told him to take a good bath and ran away.
Looking at Jiujiu's back that ran faster than a rabbit, Chang Yuan inexplicably had a feeling that his master, who liked to keep a straight face and was cold to everyone and everything, was not as cold as she looked.
However, the most important thing right now was not whether his master was as cold as he imagined, but to bathe himself.
In order to arrive at the Flowing Cloud Sect on time, Chang Yuan hadn't taken a bath for almost half a year. At this moment, soaking in the warm hot spring water, Chang Yuan felt so comfortable that he almost shed tears.
Although he had taken a bath before, he had only casually rubbed himself in the cold river water. Then, he would hurriedly wash his dirty clothes in the river water before putting on his wet and cold clothes and using his body heat to dry them.
At this moment, not only did he have warm hot spring water, but he also had things he had never seen before. He even had a set of exquisite clothes.
This was something he had never dared to think about before.
Chang Yuan first sat on the stone steps in the hot spring and soaked. After a while, he covered his face and cried in a low voice.
This time, it was not because of hardship, but because he really felt the taste of happiness at this moment.
Chang Yuan bathed for a full four hours before he was completely clean.
When Chang Yuan came out, the table was already full of food.
The portions of these food were not very big, but they were all extremely delicate.
Jiujiu looked at Chang Yuan, who had returned to his white and cute appearance after bathing, and her expression instantly eased.
Jiujiu waved to Chang Yuan.
In an instant, Chang Yuan walked to Jiujiu like a little puppy. He raised his head and looked at Jiujiu with an admiring expression.
Jiujiu raised her hand and patted Chang Yuan's head. She pointed to the food on the table and said, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I casually made some. Eat."
Cultivators should abstain from the desire for good food. Even for disciples who had just entered the sect, the Flowing Cloud Sect only gave them fasting pills and did not let them continue to eat.
It was just that Jiujiu liked to eat. Moreover, although the Fasting Pill could provide the body with the energy it needed, Jiujiu felt that the cultivation of immortality was hard to begin with. If it could not even satisfy the desire for good food, then it would be too pitiful.
Moreover, Chang Yuan had already suffered too much because of Yun Xiu's selfish desires. Jiujiu wanted to make up for everything that was snatched away from him. In the end, the original male lead was chopped to death by Yun Xiu.
When Jiujiu took Chang Yuan to bathe and gave him new clothes to wear, Chang Yuan's eyes had already cried. At this moment, seeing the table full of food that Jiujiu had prepared for him, Chang Yuan could not help but cry again.
Chang Yuan habitually raised his hand and wanted to use his sleeve to wipe the tears on his cheeks. However, when he raised his arm, he remembered that he was wearing the new clothes that Jiujiu had just given him.
Chang Yuan was now eight years old, but he had never worn new clothes. This was the first time he wore new clothes. He simply could not bear to let his clothes be stained with his tears.
Chang Yuan lowered his head and stretched his head forward. He wanted to let the tears flow down his cheeks and fall to the ground. He did not want to stain his new clothes.
Jiujiu saw that Chang Yuan was so excited that he cried because she had made a meal for him. He even did such a stupid thing to not let his clothes be dirty. Her heart instantly ached for Chang Yuan.
Jiujiu reached out and pinched Chang Yuan's chin. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on Chang Yuan's face. When she withdrew her hand, she pinched Chang Yuan's cheeks and said, "What are you crying for?"
"Master, you are so good to me." Chang Yuan looked at Jiujiu with red eyes and said in a choked voice, "Master, you don't know. I have been a beggar since I was young. I have never taken a hot bath or worn a new set of clothes. I have never even seen a hot meal. Your disciple is too happy in his heart, so he cried."
Although Jiujiu's expression did not soften because of his words, Chang Yuan knew that Jiujiu's nature was like this. It was not that she did not care about him.
Jiujiu did not know what to say about Chang Yuan's experience. After a moment, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "Eat while it's hot. After eating, I will take you around the Sword Peak."
When he heard Jiujiu say that she would take him around, Chang Yuan's eyes became hot again. After a sound of agreement, he picked up the chopsticks and began to wolf down the food.
Jiujiu's cooking was good, not to mention that Chang Yuan had been eating leftovers.
Chang Yuan was like a gust of wind as he swallowed all the food that Jiujiu had made. He ate until his stomach was round and he could not stand up.
Looking at Chang Yuan's pale face from eating too much, Jiujiu sighed helplessly. She fed Chang Yuan a pill for digestion and said, "I will let it go this time. If you are greedy again next time, you can eat a fasting pill."
