Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Vol 2. Chapter 3: Bath

Honestly speaking,

Sometimes, Yumo really couldn't understand just how much that old fellow Saiboke-Baniya had learned back at Yanghua Academy.

It always felt like—

Aside from being somewhat weak in combat, the old man knew everything else!

His medical skills were excellent, his management abilities were strong, and he even understood women's clothing design?

Besides that, he also knew soul studies and architecture...

At this moment, inside the bathroom on the second floor of the wooden house, Yumo stared dumbfounded at the faucet continuously pouring out hot water.

To think he had managed to build an entire bath system in the middle of nowhere by himself?

Little Sai was pretty amazing~

And it was even warm water?

Did it actually have heating facilities too?

Miss Yumo's eyes sparkled as she generously praised Saiboke-Baniya in her heart.

"This bathtub, enmm..."

It made her want to take a bath too.

Glancing at her black gauze dress stained with a little blood and the bottle Saiboke-Baniya had brought over that looked suspiciously like body wash, Yumo couldn't help revealing an interested look.

For some reason, after becoming a girl, Yumo had grown quite fond of bathing.

She really liked the feeling of her body being immersed in warm water.

Because of that, she often ran up Mount Wantuzi to soak in the hot springs.

Of course, every single time, those two girls, Limo and Liyu, would come happily running after her...

After helping the heroine bathe,

She should enjoy a proper bath herself~

After all, the bloody smell and heavy scent of gunpowder from Garos Fortress were making her extremely uncomfortable.

However,

Right now, her first priority was cleaning up the heroine.

Thinking this, Yumo temporarily suppressed her urge to soak in the bath and gently snapped her fingers.

Wrapped in crimson Shadow of Silence Power, the silver-haired girl slowly floated over to her side, and Yumo herself stood up.

Looking at Mengxi's beautiful sleeping face, Yumo unconsciously revealed a smile tinged with guilt.

Actually,

Helping the heroine bathe still felt a little strange.

After all, considering her identity...

Yumo had thought about letting Liyu do it.

But she quickly dismissed that idea.

The faint holy aura around Mengxi was something Abyss Demons loathed instinctively.

It naturally stimulated their ferocity and hostility.

Yumo was worried that if Liyu came into contact with that aura, she might lose control and attack the heroine.

If something really happened...

Wouldn't she regret it to death?

Yumo absolutely didn't want the heroine she had finally found to disappear just like that.

Although Liyu was very obedient,

Just in case, Yumo decided to handle things personally.

No matter what,

She was genuinely a girl now.

Touching the heroine's body wasn't really a desecration, right?

Thinking this, Yumo smiled in relief.

Slowly, she reached out and removed Mengxi's bloodstained knight dress.

As the outer garment was loosened,

Two soft mounds instantly sprang free from their restraints and entered Yumo's sight.

Fortunately, she had prepared herself mentally, so she wasn't too shocked.

Besides, Miss Yumo had already begun maintaining a Buddhist-like attitude whenever possible.

Ignoring the snowy curves, Yumo continued removing the silver-haired girl's clothes.

The dress.

Her shoes and stockings.

Even the white undergarments...

In an instant,

Mengxi's delicate, snow-white body, though covered with wounds, was revealed completely before Yumo.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, Yumo still froze for a moment when faced with such a flawless body. A blush rose onto her pretty face.

'As expected of the heroine...'

Ignoring the bloodstains, the body truly was perfect.

A slender waist.

Graceful curves.

Not only was she well-endowed, but her skin was enticing as well.

Her fair, flawless skin carried a faint rosy hue and possessed the softness of a baby's.

Furthermore,

Those two long, smooth white legs would surely be heaven for countless leg enthusiasts.

And between them, the private area unique to a young girl...

'Uh...'

After staring blankly for a moment, Yumo awkwardly averted her eyes and began silently chanting Buddhist scriptures in her mind.

After calming herself down and tying Mengxi's hair up,

Yumo carefully lifted the naked body and placed it inside the bath.

'Sigh, I guess we're even now.'

"You saw mine, and now I've seen yours. Besides, you're more gifted than I am, so I don't think I lost out."

Mm.

Huge profit~

Looking at Mengxi's beautiful sleeping face, Yumo smiled mischievously.

Then she activated the purification magic prepared inside the bath, beginning to disinfect the girl's body and wounds.

As intense pain spread from her injuries, although Mengxi's consciousness remained asleep, a painful expression unconsciously appeared on her lovely face.

Seeing this, Yumo apologetically reached out and gently rubbed her head.

"It's okay. The disinfection will be over soon."

As Mengxi's body soaked in the bath, Yumo picked up the towel and shampoo she had prepared and walked behind the heroine, intending to wash the blood from her long hair.

And at that moment—

Yumo's brow rose slightly.

The bathroom door behind her slowly opened.

Turning around helplessly, she saw—

A little gray-haired girl with two tiny white birds standing atop her head was peeking through the gap in the door with pitiful eyes.

And beneath the little girl,

A snow-white husky—

Ahem, little white wolf—

Was also sticking its head through the crack, imitating the girl's pitiful expression.

Needless to say,

The girl was Liyu, while the little white wolf beside her was a completely "silly-mode" Limo.

Upon seeing the silver-haired girl inside the bath,

Liyu's little hand hidden behind the door suddenly clenched tightly.

However,

The moment she met Yumo's crimson eyes, the barely noticeable chill in her gaze disappeared.

Pouting, she looked at Yumo with grievance-filled eyes.

Seeing this, Yumo smiled helplessly.

"It's okay, Liyu. Just take care of your sister. Mother will take care of this girl."

Such a good child.

Even now, she still wanted to come help.

"Mother, are you bathing her personally?"

Her gaze shifted toward the towel and shampoo in Yumo's hand, and dissatisfaction immediately appeared on her little face.

"Mother, you've never helped us bathe before..."

"Ah, well..."

Yumo became speechless.

"You girls are... already grown up."

"But isn't this silver-haired big sister also an adult?"

"Hm? But she's unconscious."

"Wuwuwu! Then I want to be unconscious too!"

Liyu complained unhappily, her voice filled with jealousy and childish stubbornness. A layer of moisture gradually appeared in her emerald eyes.

"I want Mother to bathe me too!! Otherwise, don't bathe this sister! Let me do it!"

"Liyu, don't make trouble."

"Wuwuwu! No!"

"Eh?!"

Seeing her little girl throwing a tantrum and nearly crying, Yumo immediately became flustered.

Seriously.

Hadn't she always been obedient before?

Why was she suddenly acting up?

Yumo was utterly confused.

C-Could it be puberty?

Was her daughter entering a rebellious phase?

The thought emerged inside Yumo's mind.

Come to think of it...

How were rebellious children supposed to be raised?!

She couldn't just indulge them endlessly, could she?

But—

But...

Looking into those pitiful emerald eyes, Yumo fell into deep conflict.

In the end,

This soft-hearted mother simply couldn't resist her daughter's little gaze and chose to compromise.

"Okay, okay. Next time, when there's time, I'll help you bathe too. Be good now and stop causing trouble."

Yumo said gently, trying to comfort Liyu.

However,

Because all her attention was focused on Liyu,

Yumo failed to notice—

That beside her,

The beautiful sleeping silver-haired girl...

Had just slightly twitched her slender index finger.
