Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 192 - 36: Brother-in-Law’s Peculiar Fetish

?

"Mr. Yui, You Su is used to being self-reliant and really isn’t accustomed to being served by others, so... it’s unnecessary."

You Su hurriedly refused, unable to directly see the two young ladies’ semi-hidden delicate figures, yet instinctively declining.

"I hadn’t anticipated that not only is Mr. You humble, but also possesses a simple side. However, your status is now noble, and if during your visit to the Jade Ring Pool every affair requires your personal effort, it would not only spread the word that our Jade Ring Pool is poor in hospitality but also contradicts your current identity." Yui Zhen slightly bent with a bow, "As far as I see, Mr. You is destined to reach the mountain peak, and should also have the self-awareness befitting such a high position."

You Su frowned at these words, thinking that Yui Zhen truly has a keen eye.

In the Divine Mountain, multiple times he was at the top of the peak, and upon leaving the mountain, he realized the weight of the identity ’Lotus Sword Venerable’s true disciple’. Like someone who suddenly gained great wealth, facing the respect of people outside the Divine Mountain for his identity, he found himself somewhat at a loss. Deep down, he still seemed to think he was that blind child from the old house in Chuyun City, living self-sufficiently.

Always refusing others’ goodwill might, on the contrary, make him seem hard to approach, which for You Su, who requires others, may not be a good choice. Facing Mr. Yui’s reminder, he had no choice but to compromise:

"Mr. Yui speaks too heavily, I merely happened to bask in the glory of my master. The two Fairies need not serve me, just wait outside."

"Does Mr. You find Yo Meng and Yo Long not to your liking? If that’s the case, it might be difficult, for in the Jade Ring Pool, you won’t find maids more beautiful than them."

You Su didn’t understand why Yui Zhen insisted he enjoy the service of others, so he sternly said:

"Since Mr. Yui knows who I am, does he not know I am blind? I can’t distinguish beauty or ugliness, nor can I possibly hold the two Fairies in disdain, Mr. Yui should not speak such words again."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yui promptly spoke apologetically:

"Mr. You, a distinguished sword cultivator, transcendently apart, it seems Yui Zhen has been somewhat forceful. But I meant nothing else, merely the bath you’re about to take is extremely refined, and without maids by your side, you can’t fully experience the beauty of the Jade Ring Pool’s water."

"Is this bath indispensable?"

"Isn’t Mr. You planning to meet the Patriarchs? Tonight the Patriarchs have arranged a small banquet for two esteemed guests, and this pre-banquet bath is a proper etiquette of the Jade Ring Pool. Though Mr. You dislikes strangers, don’t worry, Yo Meng and Yo Long will only wait outside the screen of the bath pool, entering only when needed."

Yui Zhen’s demeanor was humble, his tone respectful, and You Su directed his gaze towards Yui Zhen, knowing Yui Zhen’s words were only half-truths, bathing and changing before meeting the Patriarchs was also proper etiquette.

"I understand."

Yui Zhen laughed naturally and said:

"Mr. You, enjoy the beauty of the Jade Ring Pool to your heart’s content."

...

You Su lay naked, reclining in a bath pool made of inkstone. The bath pool was forged for the master of this residence, the space was small, leaving only a little room after You Su sat down.

Water from the spirit pool of the Jade Ring Pool reached his chest, and a seemingly fiery source below the stone bath pool heated the pool water to a steamy yet comfortable temperature. The not-so-fair skin of You Su was slightly flushed by this bath, his entire body’s energy and blood flowed abundantly.

"Mr. You, the first sequence of the bath is complete, we need to come in to prepare for the second sequence."

Yo Meng in the blue dress, reminded You Su from behind the screen.

From their mouths, You Su learned that this is the highest standard bath of the Jade Ring Pool, called Clear and Harmonious Soup, not only cleansing toxins and relieving weariness, enriching energy and blood but also subtly generating insight into Dao. It comprises three sequences:

The first sequence is soaking in pure Jade Ring Pool water, the second sequence involves adding various spiritual treasure herbs to the water, and the third sequence involves placing dried flower petals made from Jade Ring Pool divine lotus into the pool.

You Su silently adjusted the floating tea tray on the surface of the water, just to cover his lower abdomen, then responded somewhat sheepishly:

"Mm."

Upon his approval, two young girls attired in refreshing floral dresses daintily walked into the screen. Each carried a tray made of lotus leaves, with a variety of herbs arranged in a dazzling array.

The two maids knelt beside the bath pool, bending their willow-like waists to carefully place the required herbs for the second sequence into the pool. As they leaned down, a large portion of spring scenery revealed in their cleavage. Although the maidens did not soak in the hot spring, their faces were tinged with peachy pink, seemingly shy and intoxicated.

"Mr. You, this is the second bath sequence, which includes precious herbs such as nine-colored lilies, Pearl Ocular, white dragon carp bone powder, and golden stone calamus. It will replenish your energy, invigorate your mind, and compared to the first sequence, you can more distinctly perceive the pool water becoming thicker, the fragrance more intense."

Yo Meng softly explained the differences in the bath water to You Su.

You Su maintained a clear and upright demeanor:

"I trouble the Fairies, please leave."

The young ladies pursed their red lips, quietly scrutinizing You Su’s face with curious and fervent eyes.

As celestial maids, generally, they did not dare to directly gaze at their master. However, knowing this exceptionally attractive and dignified young lord was actually blind, they dared to slightly overstep the boundary.

They understood what being sent here to serve this illustrious youth with an esteemed identity implied, even though Yui Zhen said nothing, everything was understood without words.

Celestial maids held a low status, with poor talent, depending on clinging to prominent individuals and great families for cultivation resources. Some even served for generations, just like the celestial maids of the Jade Ring Pool, serving seems to be their inescapable fate, even for the Yo Meng and Yo Long sisters who reached the Middle Meridian Realm at seventeen, having some talent.
