Chapter 172: Blood Vine

"What's the big deal, I just saw something I shouldn't have. Next time I take a bath, you can come and watch, that should make us even," Dugu Nian suddenly declared with a defiant air.

Fang Lin was taken aback, speechless for a moment.

Even Dugu Nian seemed to realise she'd said something outrageous. Her face flushed, she huffed and retreated to her room in a hurry.

Watching Dugu Nian's receding figure, Fang Lin couldn't help but imagine a risqué scene of this lass taking a bath.

With the image popping up in his mind, Fang Lin hastily shook his head, not daring to let his mind wander any further. The picture was too enticing, and he didn't dare to indulge in it.

It wasn't until afternoon that Dugu Nian finally emerged, apparently having forgotten the morning's embarrassment.

Fang Lin was lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard, watching Dugu Nian approach out of the corner of his eye.

"I have something to ask you," Dugu Nian said.

"Ask away," Fang Lin replied.
