When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 153 : Yuyin, Lianyue, and Jing

153: Yuyin, Lianyue, and Jing

"Huh?" A woman, older than her, mature and full of charm, suddenly suggested they bathe together. Yuyin felt a rush of heat caused by her surprise.

However, she quickly put herself in Jiang Xue's shoes. From Jiang Xue's perspective, wasn't it perfectly normal for girls to bathe together? Weren't bathrooms and changing rooms all segregated that way?

Seeing the look on Yuyin's face, Jiang Xue said, "After we get back, I will arrange for the female and male students to come here in batches to bathe and get water, and I will also arrange for guards. I'm afraid I won't have time to wash then. I called you here so we could bathe together. If anything happens, we can look out for each other."

Jiang Xue still trusted in Yuyin's strength.

"Then we can take turns keeping watch for each other..."

"There's no time for that. Let's do it together."

As she spoke, Jiang Xue vigilantly scanned their surroundings. Only she and Yuyin were here. Even if deliberately hidden, fluctuations of Primordial Energy from the outside world would be easily detected. It seemed there was no immediate danger.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "You must also like to bathe, Miss School Belle."

Jiang Xue said casually, "Sigh, I worked up a sweat during that fierce battle..."

With that, Jiang Xue began to undress on her own.

"Keep your weapons somewhere within easy reach." she also reminded Yuyin, just as if two ordinary women were chatting in a bathroom, completely without reservation.

And so, Yuyin had no choice but to slowly begin to undress as well.

A moment later, the alluring scents of two women wafted by the stream.

Jiang Xue held nothing back and walked into the water. Yuyin had no choice but to follow her in. The clear, cool water rippled, which was actually quite comfortable.

"Yuyin?"

"Mm?" Yuyin turned her head and saw Jiang Xue, like a famous painting of a great beauty from Jiangnan, rising from the water like a lotus. Her skin was white and lustrous, yet it held a darkness, like the night, that one could not see through in the daytime.

"Why are you still wearing a scarf while bathing?" Jiang Xue was puzzled, but then she smiled, "You have a great figure. I'm envious."

"I'm used to it, hehehe..." Yuyin said inexplicably.

"Hehe, do geniuses always have unusual habits?" Jiang Xue stood calmly before Yuyin, picked up a towel, and smiled, like a gentle stream sliding down from the mountains.

This made Yuyin turn to the side and wash herself gently. The sky was gradually darkening. She looked like a goddess draped in a gauze of moonlight.

And Jiang Xue was a woman bathing.

"Ah... Xia Yuyin, could I borrow your Jade Body Ice Fruit? I actually forgot to bring mine." Jiang Xue said.

Yuyin had just used it all over herself. She hesitated for a moment, but thinking that Jiang Xue was just an ordinary woman who wouldn't think anything of it, she shouldn't be so prim. She handed it over.

After bathing, Jiang Xue walked out of the water with a graceful figure. Yuyin couldn't help but glance at her snow-white back, and her face flushed slightly.

"It's a shame we can't change clothes in the Prison Abyss. I won't wash today. Another day, I'll teach you how to wash clothes in the Prison Abyss."

"Oh..." Yuyin could only smile with narrowed eyes.

The two of them took some time to get dressed properly and returned to the campsite. Jiang Xue began to arrange for everyone to get water. There were clear rules: drinking water was to be taken from upstream, while the women would bathe downstream.

At this time, the Source Martial Practitioner squad, the teachers, and the fourth-year graduates had already spread out and established a security perimeter.

Yuyin stood at the edge of the camping area, leaning against a large tree, resting slightly while remaining vigilant of her surroundings.

After a while, Hua Yuanjing and Lianyue also returned from bathing. Their hair was loose, and they carried a fresh, clean scent from the Body Cleansing Ice Fruit.

"Yuyin, why are you standing here all alone?" Hua Yuanjing asked, flicking her long hair.

Yuyin turned her face, her pink lips slightly parted, not knowing what to say. She thought to herself, if I don't stand here, what else can I do?

Hua Yuanjing, however, assertively took Yuyin's hand. "Come."

Yuyin did not object and followed the two of them to the other side of the camping area, where the Student Council members were.

Wang Xuezhang and Shenwu were grunting as they set up a tent.

"It's done, Senior Sister Lianyue." Wang Xuezhang came over and said.

"Mm, thank you for your hard work." Lianyue nodded slightly.

Yuyin saw that the Student Council had brought several tents. This one seemed particularly exquisite, but it wasn't very large. After Wang Xuezhang and Shenwu finished setting it up, they walked away.

"Senior Sister Lianyue, this is..."

"It's a tent." Lianyue said flatly.

Yuyin shrugged, and her chest followed with a slight sway. She thought to herself, do I not know this is a tent?

Hua Yuanjing came up and thoughtfully explained to Yuyin, "Yuyin, this tent is a bit too spacious for two people, but a little cramped for three. It's still usable. Come with us."

Yuyin looked at Lianyue.

But Lianyue didn't wait for Yuyin's answer. She lightly turned around, her long hair dancing with her. She took Yuyin's hand and gracefully walked to the edge of the tent.

"Xia Yuyin, this time, if you dare to refuse me, just try." Lianyue's voice was as charming as the night, yet also aggressive.

Yuyin smiled warmly. "Then I'll have to trouble you two Senior Sisters."

"Hmph, that's more like it. By the way, what did Teacher Jiang want you for just now? Why do you smell so fresh? It's not as strong as usual. Did you bathe?" Lianyue sniffed Yuyin.

"It would be rude for me to come back without bathing, wouldn't it?"

"I don't mind, though." Hua Yuanjing pushed from behind, and Lianyue pulled from the front, getting Yuyin into the tent.

"You're the junior. You get the most uncomfortable spot to sleep." Lianyue said to Yuyin as they both entered the tent. "You sleep in the middle."

With that, Lianyue lay down on her own on Yuyin's left. Hua Yuanjing also bent down and got into the tent, sleeping on Yuyin's right.

And so, Yuyin was sandwiched in the middle...

To be honest, Yuyin didn't actually feel uncomfortable...

"The conditions for the Prison Abyss trial are a bit harsh. Let us sisters squeeze together. Yuyin, please bear with it." Hua Yuanjing said from behind Yuyin, her warm breath gently brushing her ear.

Yuyin couldn't very well turn her back to Senior Sister Lianyue, but the space was too small to lie flat. She could only lie on her side, with her back to Hua Yuanjing. But Hua Yuanjing pressed her face closely against her.

The night gradually deepened.

Inside the tent, it was pitch black. Lan Lianyue had her back to Yuyin, her nose almost touching the edge of the tent.

"Yuyin... are you afraid of tomorrow? Although we are together now, and it's warm and soft here, who knows what tomorrow will be like?" Lianyue's gaze was dark as she asked in a soft voice.

"Senior Sister Lianyue, I don't know what tomorrow will be like... but I won't be afraid, because that would be pointless. No matter what, we will face it with all our strength. I, and Senior Sister Lianyue, and Senior Sister Jing, we will face it together." Yuyin's chest heaved deeply. She hugged Lianyue from behind, letting her tolerant warmth chase away Lianyue's sorrowful chill.

"Yuyin, you're right. No one knows what we will encounter in the Prison Abyss tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow... But we will face it together." Hua Yuanjing said from behind, pressing tightly against Yuyin. Yuyin's soft, beautiful jade-like back seemed to feel the strength of Hua Yuanjing's heart and soul.

"That's right, together..." Lan Lianyue nimbly turned over, burying her delicate, charming face in Yuyin's warm embrace. From there, she felt strength, a noble, unyielding strength that seemed infinite.

Hua Yuanjing also opened her jade arms and hugged them from behind. The three girls, in this vast, dangerous, and unpredictable Prison Abyss, huddled together inside the small tent.

It was a form of tenderness, and also a pact.
