Chapter 13 Bathing in the Sunlight

"Hmm?"

"Why did my feet go soft just now? Did I step on dog shit?"

After returning to Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan picked up one of his hind legs and smelled it. He retched on the spot and almost vomited the undigested imperial meal in his stomach.

"Ugh~"

Li Xuan quickly put his foot down and dared not smell it again.

"Forget it, even if I was drenched in shit, I might not stink as bad as I do now."

After he woke up from his coma, a layer of sticky and black stuff came out of his body and stained his whole body.

And the smell was very pungent, which made Li Xuan dizzy.

After he woke up, he went straight to Jingyang Palace and planned to wash off the smell quickly.

Although Jingyang Palace was a cold palace, it still had everything it should have.

There were several basins of water that Yu'er had drawn yesterday next to the well. Li Xuan didn't hesitate to jump into one of them and started swimming.

The well water was cold, but it was just right to cool down Li Xuan's still slightly hot body.

After he woke up, his body was still hot and unbearable.

If he hadn't confirmed the progress in his mind, he would have thought he was possessed.

[Tiger Form Ten Styles: 100% (Perfect)]

Li Xuan was also convinced by this that the changes in his body were beneficial.

Just now, he ran all the way, and he felt like he was flying on the ground, and the surrounding scenery was twisted and flying backwards.

In the blink of an eye, he ran all the way back to Jingyang Palace, feeling effortless, without even breathing.

Li Xuan knew that his body had become stronger again, but he couldn't be sure how much stronger it had become.

He soaked in the basin, looking at the slightly blue sky comfortably, with a slight smile on his lips.

"This feeling of becoming stronger is so good!"

...

The first ray of morning light pierced the darkness, and the sky turned pale.

Yu'er woke up early as usual, ready to wash and start today's work.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were all like this, getting up to work before dawn.

She had one good thing in this cold palace, that is, her daily work was very limited.

After all, although the place is large, there is only Princess Ankang who needs to be served, and if Li Xuan is added, it is at most one and a half.

But both Princess Ankang and Li Xuan are very sensible and never bother Yu'er too much.

This makes Yu'er's work easier, but at the same time, she has to always find something to do because she is too idle.

On weekdays, Princess Ankang gets up late and goes to bed early.

Therefore, Yu'er has some time to go outside Jingyang Palace to find some scattered work to do, or take the work to Jingyang Palace to do.

According to the rules of the palace, this is not allowed.

If it were somewhere else, I'm afraid Yu'er's butt would be beaten by the master.

A servant cannot serve two masters, this is a matter of loyalty.

But it's different in Jingyang Palace.

If Yu'er didn't take some work outside, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to make ends meet.

Life on the monthly allowance alone is too tight, not to mention that the already thin monthly allowance is now reduced again.

All night, Yu'er was worried about how to solve this month's expenses.

Even if she went out to find a job, such a big hole could not be filled.

Although she barely managed to perfunctorily deal with Princess Ankang yesterday, it would be exposed sooner or later.

Yu'er sighed and took the washbasin to the well to wash up first.

As soon as she came here, she saw a cat standing and scrubbing its head and body with white foam from soap.

A pair of strong hind legs stood steadily apart, and the two front paws rubbed the cat's belly furtively, as if there was some extraordinary treasure there.

Yu'er watched silently from behind for a few seconds, and then rubbed her eyes in a daze.

"It seems to be getting stronger."

But after Yu'er rubbed her eyes, she still saw the same scene in front of her, so she shrugged indifferently.

The cat at home is just human nature, she has gotten used to it.

If this cat can go to the hall and the kitchen one day, I'm afraid Yu'er won't be too surprised.

"Ah Xuan, why are you taking a bath so early in the morning?"

Yu'er just got up and asked with a hoarse voice.

When he heard the sound, Li Xuan was immediately startled, and he shrank his body with a "meow" to protect his vitals.

His ears were blocked by foam before, so he didn't immediately notice Yu'er approaching from behind.

Yu'er was amused by Li Xuan's actions and laughed. The fright and complaint in the cat's cry were obvious.

"You little guy, you run around naked every day, but you know to be shy when taking a bath."

"Then you asked the princess to rub your back before, you don't know how to be ashamed!"

Yu'er came behind Li Xuan jokingly, and then helped him rub gently.

In the past, Li Xuan always asked Princess Ankang to help him take a bath, and Princess Ankang never tired of it.

This is the first time Yu'er has done it herself.

Li Xuan was a little resistant at first, but soon he moaned in comfort and snored in enjoyment.

"You said that you, a cat, are almost cleaner than humans."

"Not only does he take a bath early in the morning, he also learned to use soap beans."

Yu'er was full of emotion while rubbing Li Xuan.

The first time she rubbed Li Xuan's bath, she found that the kitten had grown a lot. Not only did he have thick bones and strong muscles, but his fur was also shiny.

Under the morning light, it was as soft as ink-stained satin, and it also revealed a deep red halo, which was extremely magical.

"No wonder Ah Xuan is so human, just looking at this appearance, he is extraordinary."

This was also the first time that Yu'er observed Li Xuan so closely, and she couldn't help but be a little absent-minded for a moment.

"Who would have thought that the kitten that couldn't even open its eyes and was soaked in the rain like a drowned chicken has grown up so handsome."

Yu'er sighed with emotion, rubbing her pussy and saying, "I didn't realize that Ah Xuan has grown so big. You are really easy to feed. You can grow so well just by eating porridge."

"It would be great if Her Royal Highness could be like this. She is weak to begin with. I don't know if she will be fine if she keeps eating porridge."

Yu'er was worried when she said this. She didn't know that Li Xuan often brought food from the imperial kitchen to give Princess Ankang extra meals.

In this matter, Li Xuan was not partial to Ankang and only brought food to Yu'er.

But Li Xuan understood that even if there was a plate of food on Yu'er's table one night, no matter how hungry she was at the time, she would never dare to eat it casually.

Although they were both poor people in the cold palace, the difference in status between the princess and the palace maid meant that they would make completely different choices even in the same situation.

Princess Ankang would think that Yu'er secretly prepared some food for her, and then eat it with gratitude.

And Yu'er would probably report it immediately, fearing that this unknown food would implicate Princess Ankang and herself.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan was helpless.

But now it's good, now he has stronger power, so he can help Yu'er more.

Yu'er rubbed Li Xuan's bath, and her mouth was not quiet, telling her sorrow today.

Anyway, she felt that Li Xuan was just a cat. Although he understood human nature, he couldn't fully understand what she said, so she poured out the troubles buried in her heart that she couldn't tell others.

Having a pet at home does give you one more person to confide in.

Li Xuan listened quietly. Yu'er's troubles were almost all about Jingyang Palace and Princess Ankang.

But no matter how hard and tired she was, Yu'er never thought of giving up and leaving here.

Instead, she was constantly looking for a solution.

This fifteen-year-old girl was very strong, and even made Li Xuan feel that she was much stronger than himself in his previous life.

With Yu'er's help, Li Xuan was soon washed fragrantly.

After washing, Li Xuan did not shake his hair, waiting for Yu'er to wipe him dry with a towel.

While Yu'er was wiping his body, Li Xuan suddenly meowed twice, then came up and licked Yu'er's cheek with her tongue.

Yu'er dodged back because of the itch, and asked with a smile: "Why, are you thanking me?"

"I have to thank you for listening to my nagging."

Yu'er rubbed Li Xuan's head and said sincerely:

"Ah Xuan, you are so nice!"
