Chapter 60: Chapter 60: The Stench Is Gone, a Fragrance Remains
"Lingxue, if you don’t believe me, I can test it on myself."
Jiang Xinghai could see Shen Lingxue’s hesitation and immediately dabbed some on his own finger.
Then, he recapped the bottle and opened the window in Shen Lingxue’s bedroom.
Shen Lingxue stared blankly at Jiang Xinghai’s finger and tried taking a deep breath to smell the air.
The foul odor was still thick.
Time ticked by, second by second...
Jiang Xinghai and Shen Lingxue were in absolute silence.
Outside the door.
Shen Zhengye had already tiptoed over, pressing his ear against it to listen.
Deep down, he absolutely admired Jiang Xinghai!
He hoped his daughter could maintain a close enough relationship with Jiang Xinghai.
If possible, he hoped Shen Lingxue could tie the knot with Jiang Xinghai.
Of course!
He wouldn’t force his daughter on any of this.
If Shen Lingxue was firmly against it, he certainly wouldn’t force her into a relationship.
He had just secretly provided Jiang Xinghai with some help—for example, that box of Blue Elf.
After listening for a while, Shen Zhengye heard no sounds coming from the room. ’That’s not normal!’
’A man and a woman, alone together... a tinderbox waiting for a spark!’
’How could two people share a room late at night and not have something happen?’
’Damn, how did my clever plan backfire on me?’
Shen Zhengye suddenly realized that if he truly wanted Jiang Xinghai as his son-in-law, he shouldn’t have given him that box of Blue Elf!
Little did he know.
Jiang Xinghai had already reached the Great Achievement stage in his cultivation of the Dragon Locking Secret Technique, allowing him to control his body and lock down his energy at will.
Whether he had the Blue Elf or not was irrelevant.
’It’s only been five minutes?’
Outside the door, Shen Zhengye was a little speechless.
Hearing no further sounds, he assumed the two had finished and fallen asleep.
"Huh, your finger really does have a fragrance now."
Just then, Shen Lingxue’s surprised cry came from inside the room.
"See? I wasn’t lying, was I?"
Jiang Xinghai smiled, then opened the bottle of Fragrant Skin Jade Bone Ointment again. "Kneel down on the bed, face down. I’ll be very careful. I promise it won’t be awkward."
"Well, okay then."
Shen Lingxue’s mood had eased considerably now.
She got over her previous, mortifying hesitation and, following Jiang Xinghai’s instructions, got into position.
Outside the door.
Shen Zhengye’s face lit up with a huge smile as he listened to their conversation.
At the same time.
Jiang Xinghai’s finger, covered in ointment, moved to apply it.
"You, why aren’t you using a cotton swab to apply it?"
Shen Lingxue’s body suddenly spasmed.
"Didn’t have time," Jiang Xinghai responded instinctively, evenly spreading the ointment over the affected area.
At that moment, Shen Lingxue almost moaned out loud several times but managed to swallow the sounds back down.
She was afraid that if she made a sound, it would be a strong stimulus for Jiang Xinghai.
And then...
More importantly, she had hemorrhoids right now. Even if she wanted to do it, it would be very painful!
"All done."
At that, Jiang Xinghai finished the job perfectly and quickly turned away.
"Can you... help me cover up with the blanket?"
Shen Lingxue seemed unable to hold herself together any longer, collapsing limply onto the bed.
"Did you forget I said it needs to air out for ten minutes after applying the ointment?"
Jiang Xinghai smiled slightly. "Actually, you don’t need to be shy. Your body holds no more secrets from me."
"But it’s so embarrassing for me to be like this in front of you, okay?"
Shen Lingxue gave Jiang Xinghai a weak glare. "You should leave now. I need to rest."
"Actually, I was thinking I’d wait ten minutes and leave after confirming that the area is fragrant..."
"You want to smell it?"
Before Jiang Xinghai could finish, Shen Lingxue threw a pillow at him with all her might. "Dream on! Get out!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Jiang Xinghai had no choice but to nod and leave.
But for some reason, he couldn’t pull the door open. "Lingxue, even if you locked the door from the inside, you should still be able to open it from here. Why can’t I open it?"
"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Aren’t you just trying to find an excuse to stay for ten minutes?" Shen Lingxue grumbled irritably.
"I swear, I’m really not lying to you," Jiang Xinghai said, walking over with a serious expression.
"Just turn your head and wait ten minutes. I don’t have the strength to get up and open the door for you right now." Shen Lingxue hastily pulled the thin blanket over her back.
But worried that covering the affected area would prevent the odor from dissipating, she had to pull the blanket up higher, leaving only her firm, rounded buttocks exposed.
Of course, Jiang Xinghai admired the view for another moment before walking out to the balcony and lighting a cigarette.
Time passed, and ten minutes went by quickly.
Shen Lingxue looked up at Jiang Xinghai smoking on the balcony, then quickly reached back to touch the area near the wound. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Then, she brought her hand back.
It worked!
It really was fragrant, like the light, fresh scent of strawberries!
"See? I wasn’t lying, was I?"
At some point, Jiang Xinghai had walked over and was even bending down to take a sniff.
