Chapter 44 – Breathing in Her Body Fragrance

Twilight, the twisting river at the foot of the mountain, the verdant green grass beside the river, shadows moving, in the light breeze the dragonflies danced across the water, cicadas singing and insects chattering, and sometimes a frog would randomly croak a few times.

By the time Zhu You Hong and Sikong Yufei arrived at the river to bathe, the soldiers were finished bathing. Only Zhong Wen Yu and Lu Dong Yang eagerly followed on their heels, following right behind them.

Lu Dong Yang soaked in the water for a while, “splash!” then emerged, swiping off some of the water then muttering, “Lord, why are you so concerned about Commander Linghu? Though he is frail, but he wouldn’t catch a cold from a cold bath would he? He dares to ride a tiger!”

When has his lordship been so considerate of anyone? Much less take care of them? He’s been with ninth lord for very long. He’s only seen other people take care of the lord. When did he see the lord care about something else? That stinky brat received too much of a special treatment isn’t he? He was a little jealous. The lord actually had people boil hot water for Linghu Commander, letting him take a hot bath.

Zhu You Hong didn’t even lift his eyelids, “If he really caught a cold, will you take care of him? This marching of to war, clearly he is a bother. He’s so frail, what if he really got sick from taking a cold bath, in the end who is the misfortunate one?”

“This…it’s no problem taking care of him. Just…I feel strange looking at Commander Linghu. I can’t help seeing him as a woman.”

“Haha! Lu Dong Yang? It can’t be right? Just one day yet you’re already thinking of women? Did you eat a lot more turnips before you walked out the door? Or are you hiding some porn somewhere?” Zhong Wen Yu guffawed.

“Zhong Wen Yu! When do I carry that stuff? If I’m really missing women, I will take to my heart’s content. Looking at that stuffy isn’t satisfying.”

The two followers, argued back and forth. Though ninth lord managed the army severely, he treated them very well. So, outsiders see ninth lord as a demonic existence or an icy Yama. They who are with ninth lord, privately are fearless.

Sikong Yufei suddenly said something completely unrelated, “Tonight sleeping beside her, breath in more of her fragrance, it will be helpful towards the injuries on your body.”

Sikong Yufei’s words were using a special secretive technique to transmit it. Only ninth lord can hear it.

Ninth lord was internally bothered, also used the secretive technique to speak to speak only to Sikong Yufei, asking doubtfully, “Every time benwang’s relapse is due to the heavy cold. If she is really Linghu Shui Yue, will her bodily fragrance help benwang?”

Sikong Yufei said, “It’s best if you pat her to see if she really is Shui Yue! This is the only particular woman in this space and time who has crossed over the Yin Realm without any yin aura sticking to her. Instead at night her body will emit a yang aura of faint fragrance. It’s a great benefit for you to breath it in.”

“Then why doesn’t benwang absorb the yang aura from other men? Why her?”

“That’s simple. The yang aura on men’s body is a little turbid, same as the yang aura on your body. If you inhale it, it won’t be any benefit. It will only cause harm. But she is different. She naturally belongs to pure yin but has pure and clean yang that is not out of tune with the pure yin, even balanced. Only at night, her body will quietly emit a faint clean yang fragrance. Smelling it will move one’s soul, and a great benefit.”

Zhu ninth lord’s brow raised, a strange brightness shot from his eyes to Sikong Yufei, the voice from secretive technique seemed to be asking sharply, “You smelled it?”

Sikong Yufei rubbed his nose, smiling strangely, “Smelled it. But you don’t need to eat vinegar. My nose is sensitive, it can smell celestial, demonic, and ghostly auras. Her body’s fragrance isn’t a benefit to all who smell it, only the sick who lack in pure yang, like you.”

Hmph! Ninth lord coldly sneered.
