Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 659 - 57: Intimate Conversation with Bai Shuang_2

In the misty water vapor, Li Xiaoyu glanced at Bai Shuang and thought, she had probably only done this sort of thing when she was a child, with her mother.

Ultimately, Li Xiaoyu stripped off her clothes, but unlike Bai Shuang, Li Xiaoyu did not do so in front of her. She carefully turned her back, moved behind the curtain, making sure Bai Shuang couldn't see, and then slowly took off her garments one by one.

The kind of friendship between women that includes bathing together, Li Xiaoyu was unclear about. Bai Shuang probably didn't know either.

She just saw that Li Xiaoyu was very cold, and since she happened to want to take a bath, she took Li Xiaoyu with her to the hot springs here.

Though Bai Shuang was not born into a wealthy family like Li Xiaoyu, if there were no existence stronger than her in this world, and she could instantly reach any place at any time, then necessities like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation would naturally be of the highest standard.

Such as eating the best ingredients, drinking the clearest water, admiring the most beautiful scenery, and soaking in the most comfortable hot springs.

That's what she thought, and so that's what she did.

However, Bai Shuang didn't understand why Li Xiaoyu was being so shy and fussy about undressing and wouldn't let her see.

After taking off all her clothes and folding them neatly, Li Xiaoyu also took a dry towel and covered them up.

The reason she was so cautious was that this girl, who resembled a black cat, gave off a sense of sanctity, authority, and loneliness on regular days.

Li Xiaoyu did not really like getting close to people; even with Qiao Shanshan and Dong Ran, she seldom engaged in the intimate behaviors that ordinary girls share, like holding hands, hugging, doing each other's hair, or discussing makeup.

From a very young age, she had been cut off from the things typical to normal girls.

Though she had changed a lot now, no longer as domineering in Baichuan City as she used to be, and appeared more human and down-to-earth.

But to many people, Li Xiaoyu was still Li Xiaoyu, no matter how she acted in front of Tang Xian; that did not mean a tiger had turned into a cat.

However, if Qiao Shanshan were here, she would probably understand why Li Xiaoyu covered all her intimates.

Because after dressing so cute that one time and finding it enjoyable, despite being quite manipulative as the female leader of Baichuan City on the surface, she was still somewhat girlish at heart.

Li Xiaoyu's undergarments were distinctly different from her outer garments. While the outer garments were mostly dark colors, the undergarments were pink... and even had a small cat paw print on them, and even the socks were adorable cat paw socks.

These were for Tang Xian's eyes only; others could not see them.

This felt like a corporate elite in a suit and leather shoes coming home to reveal a Peppa Pig tattoo—there was a strong sense of contrast.

After shedding her clothes, Li Xiaoyu wrapped in a bath towel, came to the hot spring feeling a bit nervous. She tentatively dipped her clean, white feet at the edge of the water and, finding the temperature very appropriate, slowly stepped into the hot spring.

The comfortable temperature instantly relieved Li Xiaoyu's chill, making her feel very comfortable.

The Li family had a private swimming pool, but when compared to this purely natural hot spring, the effect was not as good.

"Thank you, and sorry about earlier."

This kind of thing was like going to Autumn Name Mountain with a boyfriend for the first time or embracing the so-called "law of dressing in drag" — once you have the first experience, you soon grow to like it.

Bai Shuang remained as calm as ever, her posture much more natural than Li Xiaoyu's. She leaned back against the edge, leisurely enjoying the soak.

But unlike Li Xiaoyu, what Bai Shuang revealed wasn't limited to above the neck.

Li Xiaoyu, although she eventually adopted the same pose, leaning back against the edge of the hot spring, at first glance only revealed above the neck as well.

Li Xiaoyu subconsciously lowered herself in the water a bit, giving the impression that it wasn't that she lacked anything, she was just intentionally submerged.

In fact, Bai Shuang really hadn't paid attention to these things at all.

But Li Xiaoyu still felt, how come she hadn't inherited her mother's sizable traits?

Shang Lu was in Baichuan City; next time, she'd have to go ask if all those papayas, grapefruits, and kiwis were actually of any use?

Many things in this world, if you're not born with them, you probably won't ever have them, not just the sports car you can't afford after a lifetime of work, but also the innate parts of oneself.

A bath shared by a woman guaranteed to live at least five hundred years and a girl of eighteen or nineteen was very quiet.

Li Xiaoyu didn't really like to talk, and Bai Shuang was the same.

However, after soaking for about fifteen minutes, Li Xiaoyu felt that her relationship with Bai Shuang had perhaps grown a bit closer.

"Sister Bai Shuang," Li Xiaoyu spoke softly.

"Hmm?"

"Can you tell me about Baichuan City?"

"Finally can't resist asking, huh?"

"Not exactly, it's just that I feel this silence, though not awkward, is somewhat a waste of time," Li Xiaoyu said frankly.

"There's not much to say about Baichuan City, even though you are now governing this city, its fate is not something you can change."

"What do you mean?"

"You, or should I say your man, is not the first person to come here."

Bai Shuang didn't treat Li Xiaoyu the same way as she did Tang Xian, even though this woman, who had lived for an unknown number of years, had enough wisdom to understand instantly what Li Xiaoyu's visit meant, and who instigated it.

But she didn't care, she was willing to speak if she felt like it, and whether it fell into someone's scheming or followed someone's wishes, it had nothing to do with her.

But Bai Shuang didn't say much either.

"This world has its own destiny, and my master is also waiting for someone who can put an end to these destinies, but you don't need to know this, your man is not yet qualified to know."

"Then what does he need to do to be qualified?"

Li Xiaoyu wasn't surprised that Bai Shuang could see through her as someone Tang Xian had sent to probe for information.

Bai Shuang said:

"I will tell you what I am willing to share, but don't ask about what I am unwilling to discuss."

"I understand."

Li Xiaoyu did not seem the slightest bit resentful.

Because now she was very sure of one thing, that is Bai Shuang was indeed on the side of humankind, with her own arrangements. If even knowing about it was inherently dangerous, then the smart thing to do was not to know.

Li Xiaoyu's ability to reasonably control her own curiosity was something that Bai Shuang still liked.

However, she did not know that this was only the case for anyone other than Tang Xian. After all... the former Li Xiaoyu would have loved to control every move of Tang Xian every minute of every day.

People will, after all, grow up.

Li Xiaoyu thought that the topic was heading to an end and that it might be time to talk about everyday life, but Bai Shuang added another comment:

"Your man is becoming increasingly powerful. But this power is not yet enough. It's good for a child in the cradle to want to crawl out, but afterward, he must become even stronger."

It wasn't just Qing JiuYu, Tang Feiji, Akasi, and others who felt Tang Xian getting stronger, Bai Shuang did too.

Every time Tang Xian appeared at the duck shed, Bai Shuang noticed that his strength had greatly increased month by month.

In terms of combat ability, he would soon surpass several beast-class figures in Baichuan City.

But still, it was not enough.

There were too many creatures in the Myriad Beasts Realm. In the forbidden area of the holy mountain, no one knew what kind of strange beasts might be released.

"The Eden bloodline might be the supreme lineage, but if it has been defeated before, it can be defeated again. He must possess something stronger than the Eden bloodline itself. When he finds those things, he will be qualified to know the secrets of this world."

Li Xiaoyu couldn't understand these abstruse words, but she understood one thing: in the mining area world, there were existences potent enough to pose a grave danger to Tang Xian.

Bai Shuang was guarding the remains of an end-of-the-world level creature, perhaps also waiting for someone worthy to inherit something from her.

After soaking in the hot spring for about thirty minutes, it was rare for Li Xiaoyu to cleanse this long, but in such an absolutely quiet place, next to Bai Shuang, there was a sense of warmth that had been missing for a long time.

Bai Shuang actually liked this young girl quite a bit and thought about taking Li Xiaoyu to different places in this world in the years to come.

The premise is, the young girl's man can truly keep Baichuan City safe.
