Chapter 34: Worsening Injuries, Blow-Drying Hair

“You can’t cause trouble in the city, you know. Those peace officers will definitely cover for those thugs.”

Bai Yuan saw her adorable appearance and still couldn’t resist walking over to reach out and touch that ink-black hair.

“Hmph! My lousy master’s technique is terrible, don’t touch me, go take a shower already.”

A rosy blush flew across Mo Xiao’s pretty face as she stubbornly pushed Bai Yuan out of the bedroom.

“She was embarrassed, wasn’t she?”

Bai Yuan felt like she’d seen something interesting. That little dragon girl was quite fun to tease after all.

“Where did that lousy fish run off to?”

Mo Xiao walked out of the bedroom into the main hall, and sure enough, she didn’t see You’s purple-haired figure anywhere.

She hadn’t heard the front door make any sound just now, so she had no idea how that guy had slipped out.

Looking at the twisted door handle on the front door, Mo Xiao decided to just replace the lock with a new one.

Creak~

Suddenly the front door in front of her was pushed open, and a bruised and swollen You walked into the main hall with a blank expression under Mo Xiao’s gaze.

“Wait! Did you go out and get into a fight? Your injuries seem to have gotten worse?”

Mo Xiao’s gaze fell on You’s bruised neck, where there were wounds she hadn’t seen before.

“Yeah, so what? Does the little book spirit want to help apply medicine?”

You’s purple eyes shifted to Mo Xiao’s petite figure. What was this little dragon trying to say?

“In your dreams. You’re just a little lousy fish. Going out to fight every day, those injuries won’t heal. You deserve it.”

Mo Xiao rolled her eyes and couldn’t be bothered to pay more attention. She closed the door, propped a chair against it, and turned to enter the bedroom.

Having been retorted, You raised her hand to look at the bruises on it. These were manifestations of her divine power showing externally. She couldn’t hide them or instantly heal them.

That old woman’s strength was still decent, but recently she’d been the one with the upper hand.

After three consecutive fights, she could tell that Yi Lian wasn’t the real body—probably a very powerful clone that was close to being beaten to pieces by her.

Bai Yuan came out of the bathroom with a flushed pretty face and several glistening water droplets on her, just in time to run into You at the doorway who wanted to enter the bathroom.

“Classmate You, what happened to you? I told you not to go out at night. Look, you got hurt again, didn’t you?”

She furrowed her slender brows, a flicker of heartache passing through her eyes.

In just over an hour, Classmate You’s injuries had gotten this much worse…

“Bad luck. Ran into a mortal enemy, so we fought. It has nothing to do with whether it’s night or not.”

You calmly walked into the bathroom and turned on the hot water. After taking a shower once earlier, she’d taken a liking to this feeling.

Soaking in the bathtub after a fight would definitely feel great.

“Awoo~ I… I’ll leave right now, meow!”

Bai Yuan turned and caught a glimpse of that smooth, jade-like slender waist. She quickly covered her flushed little face and ran out of the bathroom.

Classmate You is so bold, actually undressing in front of me and everything, hehe~

“Stupid master! Are you an idiot!? Your hair is still wet and you just run in here, hurry up and go dry your hair!”

Just as she entered the bedroom, before Bai Yuan could react, she was suddenly pushed out by Mo Xiao.

Only then did she realize—she’d been so focused on Classmate You’s body that she forgot to dry her hair.

“Why is my lousy master so tall! Sit down right now!”

Mo Xiao was truly furious. She’d taken her eyes off her master for a moment and she went and did something reckless.

Pitter-patter, the water droplets kept dripping. Bai Yuan didn’t have much strength, and most of the time she couldn’t dry her hair properly. Doing it alone would take her a long time.

“It was just a moment of carelessness~ Mo Xiao, don’t be so fierce~”

Aware that it was her own fault, Bai Yuan sat down obediently, her little mouth pouting as she hoped for gentler treatment.

This little dragon Mo Xiao was like a firecracker—light a spark and she explodes. She didn’t know how to be even a tiny bit gentle.

“Hmph! Lousy master, I’ll blow-dry it for you. Don’t move around.”

Mo Xiao ignored Bai Yuan’s plea. Being gentler was impossible.

She puffed up her little cheeks, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. Threads of slightly warm breeze blew out from her small mouth.

The breeze swept over the wet white hair, bringing Bai Yuan a sense of comfort. She narrowed her eyes in contentment.

What is this?

The breeze from who-knows-where felt like Mo Xiao’s gentle little hands softly caressing her tender hair strands. That breeze wiped away the water droplets inch by inch.

“Alright, my idiot master’s white hair is actually pretty nice-looking.”

Mo Xiao turned her slightly reddened little face away. This wasn’t because she was embarrassed—it was from blowing just now.

“Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao, where did that wind come from just now? It felt so nice. Can you do it again?”

Bai Yuan turned around somewhat addicted, looking expectantly at Mo Xiao’s petite figure. The little dragon girl with a shy face made her daze for a moment.

“Hehe~ Does Master really want to know where that wind came from? After you find out, you probably won’t want it again.”

Mo Xiao revealed a smug smile. She raised her little head and looked at her adorably clueless master with amusement.

“What? You’re not going to say it was from you flapping your skirt, are you? Pfft~ Haha!”

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment, and a certain image automatically appeared in her mind.

Petite Mo Xiao grabbing the hem of her skirt with both hands, vigorously flapping it up and down to fan out gusts of warm wind—so that warmth was actually Mo Xiao’s body temperature?

She found it somewhat comical and laughed out loud, but also felt a bit shy. Her pretty face grew warm. How strange.

“Master, I really can’t understand your thought process. It was actually my breath. As a little dragon, I’ve got to have the innate ability to summon wind and rain, right?”

Mo Xiao rolled her eyes at Bai Yuan, who was off in her own fantasy land. As a little dragon, it was perfectly normal for her to ride clouds and mist, summon wind and call rain.

After all, she wasn’t a Western dragon—she was an Eastern dragon.

Bai Yuan was born on the eastern continent. From childhood to adulthood, all she’d ever seen were mysterious Eastern dragons that showed their head but never their tail.

So even when writing a dragon girl character setting, her first impression was an Eastern dragon.

“What!? You blew it out?”

Bai Yuan puffed up her little cheeks and stood up with a whoosh, somewhat angry as she retreated back into the bedroom.

This answer not only shattered the fantasy in her heart, but also made her learn an even crueler truth.

Her dao heart instantly shattered. She had no face to face Mo Xiao anymore.

“Sigh~ I kindly helped blow-dry your hair, and not even a word of thanks. So heartbreaking for a dragon.”

“Th…thank you, okay!”

Bai Yuan seemed to hear Mo Xiao’s small muttering. She poked her little head out from the bedroom and softly thanked her with a shy expression, then that little white head quickly shrank back.

Mo Xiao instantly beamed with joy, and the tail behind her wagged somewhat happily.

“Little lousy fish, still washing! Hurry up and get out. I let you shower twice a day—where else would you get such good treatment!”

This You was also an idiot. Didn’t she know that soaking in there too long would make a person dizzy?

She didn’t want to go in and drag that guy’s body out, though it seemed like that would give her a chance to help wipe her body down.

Mo Xiao admitted she’d had a moment of temptation. She shook her head and discarded this inexplicably emerging naughty thought.

You’s origins were unknown, her purpose unknown. She couldn’t be too nice to her.

If feelings developed, she’d be reluctant to part ways when they eventually turned against each other.
