Chapter 9: First Experience of Noble Life, Envy Drooling from the Corner of the Eye, First Experienc
As Tang Hao's figure completely disappeared, the air on the balcony seemed to freeze.
Tang Yuehua stared blankly in the direction her brother had left, tears silently streaming down her face once more.
That lonely and resolute figure struck her heart like a heavy hammer.
Tang Ren, who was beside her, quietly took the hem of her clothes.
This subtle movement startled Tang Yuehua out of her grief.
She looked down and saw a pair of clear and calm eyes. In those eyes, there was no childlike confusion, but rather a maturity and comfort that was beyond her years.
Tang Yuehua's heart was instantly filled with a bittersweet warmth.
She took a deep breath, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and a gentle smile, warm enough to melt ice and snow, bloomed on her face once again.
She gently took Tang Ren's small hand in hers. His small hand was covered with calluses from his long journey, which made her heart ache again.
"Come on, Xiao Ren, Auntie will take you to your room." Her voice was so gentle that it seemed as if she was afraid of disturbing anyone.
"It's right next to your aunt's house. From now on, this will be your home."
Tang Ren was led by her into the room prepared for him.
The moment the door was opened, a delicate and sweet fragrance wafted out.
The room was spacious and bright, with a soft, snow-white carpet on the floor that could sink into your ankles. Exquisite tables and chairs were placed by the window, and the carved bed had bedding that looked as fluffy as clouds in the sky.
This is like a completely different world from his previous life.
"Go take a shower first and wash away your fatigue," Tang Yuehua said gently, pointing to the bathroom in the room.
"The hot water is ready. Get some rest, and your aunt will go prepare the herbs for your medicinal bath tomorrow."
After saying that, she gave Tang Ren a deep look before turning and leaving, her steps hurried, as if she were about to complete an extremely sacred task.
Tang Rencai truly relaxed when the warm water enveloped his body, washing away the dust and fatigue of the journey.
He had been on edge the whole time, and he dared not slack off in the slightest, whether facing the dangers of soul beasts or the challenges of absorbing soul rings.
At this moment, a sense of security and comfort washed over him, and the long-suppressed drowsiness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
He climbed onto the incredibly soft bed in a daze, and as soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.
I slept soundly for ages.
It wasn't until noon the next day, when the warm sunlight dappled his face through the window curtains, that Tang Ren slowly woke up.
He opened his eyes in a daze, momentarily disoriented. Only after recognizing the elegant surroundings did he come to his senses.
On the bedside table, a set of neatly folded, brand-new clothes lay quietly.
Tang Ren reached out and touched it, feeling an indescribable sensation at his fingertips.
It was an ultimate smoothness and silkiness, as if touching flowing moonlight, without feeling the slightest roughness.
He picked up the clothes; the pale blue fabric shimmered faintly in the sunlight, feeling as light as a feather.
He awkwardly put on the clothes, enjoying the comfort of the skin-friendly fabric.
Is this what life is like for aristocratic gentlemen?
Even the fabric of their clothes is so exquisite!
He was so envious that drool dripped from the corner of his eye.
Thinking back to the coarse linen clothes I used to wear... what a miserable life I was living!
Stepping out of the room, in the spacious hall, a long table was already set with exquisite dishes, all looking and smelling delicious, and still steaming.
Tang Ren's stomach immediately began to rumble in protest.
He didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to begin eating heartily.
However, Tang Yuehua was nowhere to be seen even after he finished eating.
Time waits for no one, so Tang Ren didn't waste any time. He consciously returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to meditate and cultivate, consolidating his soul power, which had just been raised to level fifteen.
As dusk fell and the afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky a magnificent orange-red, Tang Yuehua finally appeared before Tang Ren.
Her face showed a hint of fatigue from her busy work, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.
Behind her followed two servants, one carrying a huge bath tub large enough to hold two adults, and the other carefully holding a basket filled with various exotic plant roots, stems, flowers and leaves.
"Put your things down and you can leave now," Tang Yuehua waved her hand.
After the servants respectfully withdrew, she personally took action, lifting buckets of boiling water that had been prepared beforehand and filling the huge bathtub.
In an instant, the entire room was filled with a misty white vapor.
"Xiao Ren, go inside," she said to Tang Ren.
Tang Ren did as instructed, took off his clothes, and stepped into the bathtub.
The hot water enveloped his body, and he let out a comfortable sigh.
Tang Yuehua then walked to the basket and began processing the medicinal herbs.
Her movements were skillful and focused; some herbs needed to be crushed, some needed to be kneaded to extract juice, and some needed to be kept intact.
Each medicinal herb exudes a unique aroma, whether strong or subtle.
Once all the medicinal herbs were processed, Tang Yuehua picked up the basket and, without hesitation, poured all the colorful herbs into the bathtub!
"laugh--!"
It was as if boiling oil had been poured into a raging fire, and the entire bucket of hot water instantly boiled!
The originally clear water was quickly dyed a deep red, and an extremely strong medicinal fragrance mixed with strange energy fluctuations suddenly erupted!
The next moment, Tang Ren's expression changed drastically!
An indescribable burning sensation surged wildly into every pore of his body!
It wasn't the feeling of being scalded by hot water, but a burning sensation from the inside out!
It felt as if countless red-hot steel needles were recklessly piercing his meridians, flesh, and even bone marrow!
"Ugh!" He couldn't help but let out a painful groan, his body trembling violently, his skin turning red at a visible speed.
"Guard your mind! Circulate your soul power and guide the medicinal effects to temper your body!" Tang Yuehua's clear and serious voice, like a morning bell, rang in his ears.
"This is a closely guarded secret of our Haotian Sect, its tempering effect on the physical body far exceeding your imagination! Hold on, until the burning sensation within your body completely disappears!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ren bit his tongue hard, and the sharp pain instantly brought him back to his senses.
He endured the burning pain, immediately sat cross-legged, and began to circulate the soul power within his body, following the route that Tang Hao had taught him.
Each time his soul power circulates through the body, it carries a trace of domineering medicinal power, which then permeates his limbs and bones.
In this process, the pain is magnified tenfold!
But he could clearly feel that his muscles, bones, and meridians were being cleansed and forged again and again in this extreme pain, becoming more resilient and purer!
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment.
Sweat mixed with impurities expelled from the body seeped out continuously, only to be evaporated by the scalding hot medicinal liquid.
Tang Ren's consciousness rose and fell several times in the sea of pain, but he always relied on an indomitable will to hold on to that sliver of clarity and frantically circulate his soul power.
After an unknown amount of time, the scorching heat that seemed to burn him to ashes finally began to slowly subside.
Instead, he experienced a tingling, comfortable sensation, as if countless warm currents were nourishing his transformed body.
