Chapter 6

Xing Luo no longer resisted, letting Ye Lixiao run his hands over her tiny cat body.
Just as she was sinking into a comfortable half-sleep, he suddenly scooped her up.
“Meow?” Where are we going?
Cradled in his arms, Ye Lixiao spoke in a low, calm tone: “Follow me to bathe.”
“Meow meow meow?!” Bathe?
Does that mean. she might see things she shouldn’t?
Though she disliked Ye Lixiao, she couldn’t deny that his appearance was flawless. Sure, she could admire him a little.
But they were still enemies, and that thought made her a little uneasy.
Still, she was just a cat right now. A little glance couldn’t hurt, could it?
After all, this man had once tried to kill her, what harm was there in seeing him now?
With that thought, Xing Luo relaxed.
They arrived at a side hall, where a bath had been prepared. Steam filled the room, and the pool was brimming with clean, warm water.
Ye Lixiao set her down gently, then began removing his clothes.
Xing Luo obediently stayed at his feet, craning her head to watch, unblinking, as he loosened his belt and removed his outer robe.
Soon, all his clothing was gone.
Wow~
Xing Luo’s eyes sparkled as she took in his body.
Absolutely magnificent!
The chest, the waist, the abs, it was a perfect physique!
“…” Ye Lixiao lowered his head, meeting her shining black eyes.
This cat.
With a swift motion, he lifted her into his hands again, then stepped into the bath, carrying her along.
As the warm water surrounded her, Xing Luo’s little body sank with relief. She nestled against Ye Lixiao’s chest, half-closing her eyes, completely lost in comfort.
The bathwater wasn’t ordinary, it came from a sacred spring beneath a holy mountain in the Demon Realm. The water absorbed the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon, enriching the body and especially benefiting a small demon like Xing Luo. It could accelerate her cultivation and strengthen her body.
She could feel the energy within her flowing faster, making her body warm.
Oh no!
Could it be, she was about to take shape?!
Not now, of all times!
Xing Luo struggled to suppress the almost-overflowing demonic energy in her body.
“Meow, ah!” Heat surged through her, and she couldn’t hold back a startled cry.
Bang! In the next instant, an extremely blinding light erupted from her body.
“…” Instinctively, Ye Lixiao closed his eyes.
When the light faded, he felt something soft and warm in his arms.
It wasn’t like holding a cat, it felt more like holding a person.
Ye Lixiao opened his deep, piercing eyes. The little cat had vanished, replaced by a woman, a completely naked woman.
Frowning, he didn’t hesitate. Without a shred of gentleness, he pushed her aside.
Ye Lixiao didn’t even glance at Xing Luo again. He swiftly got out of the bath, grabbed a fresh set of clothes from the rack, and dressed.
“So unkind” Xing Luo’s sweet, sultry voice rang out, carrying a hint of playful complaint.
“…” Ye Lixiao’s body stiffened.
That voice.
He hurriedly looked toward Xing Luo.
Earlier, when she had leaned against him in the bath, he hadn’t even seen her face before pushing her away. Now, her full face was exposed.
Her features were delicately sculpted, resembling her previous life about seventy percent. Perhaps the memory of her former self had influenced her transformation, making this rebirth’s form remarkably similar to her past incarnation.
