Chapter 580 - Sneaking Inside The Bathroom After resting for a bit inside the immortal caves, Yuan and the others went to get dinner. Once dinner was finished, Yuan went to take a bath, and he decided to try tempering his body with the medicine he'd received from the Hong Family. However, during his tempering, someone opened the door and entered the bathroom. Knowing that it wasn't a stranger, Yuan didn't panic this time. However, he was still surprised to see Chu Liuxiang entering the bathroom with nothing but a towel around her body. "Can I take a bath with you, Brother Yuan?" She asked him. "I don't really mind, but the water is—" He said. Before Yuan could even finish his sentence, Chu Liuxiang removed her towel and tossed it to the side before joining the bathtub with him. Of course, the bathtub in the immortal caves wasn't anywhere close to the size of the one in Li Jinxi's bathroom, so it was a little cramped in the bathtub with Chu Liuxiang's smooth skin rubbing against Yuan's body. Once the both of them were comfortable, they would sit there in awkward silence. "We should do this more often." Chu Liuxiang suddenly said. "I wouldn't mind that if we had a bigger bathtub…" Yuan chuckled. After another moment of silence, Chu Liuxiang asked, "Brother Yuan, have you ever considered starting your own family?" "No… I can't say that I have. Why? Do you wish to start a family?" "Yes, I do." Chu Liuxiang nodded her head with a gentle smile on her face. She then turned to look at him and continued with a serious expression, "I want to start a family with you, Brother Yuan." "W-With me…?" Yuan's jaw dropped upon hearing her words. "You don't want to?" Chu Liuxiang mumbled in a low voice. "T-That's not it… I just… I don't think I am ready for a family now…" "It's okay, Brother Yuan. We have plenty of time. You don't need to give me an official answer now. I just wanted you to know my feelings. That's all." Seeing Yuan's dazed look, Chu Liuxiang suddenly approached his face and kissed him on the lips. The kiss lasted for only a second before Chu Liuxiang moved back. She then got out of the bathtub and left the bathroom with a slightly rosy face. Meanwhile, outside the bathroom, Meixiu noticed Chu Liuxiang, who had suddenly disappeared, coming out of the bathroom. "Y-You were inside the bathroom this entire time? But Yuan is…" Chu Liuxiang, who had snuck inside the bathroom while Meixiu wasn't looking, smiled and said, "I didn't want to be left out, so I went to take a quick bath with Brother Yuan." "Unbelievable…" Meixiu was speechless. "I hope you didn't do anything weird to him…" Chu Liuxiang chuckled at Meixiu's question. Inside the bathroom, Yuan laid in the bathtub with a weird feeling in his body, as it was feeling hotter than usual, and even his heart was beating faster. He could also feel a certain area between his legs becoming stiff. "Starting a family, huh…" He mumbled in a pondering voice. About ten minutes later, Yuan also left the bathroom. When it was time to sleep, Chu Liuxiang snuggled close to Yuan— much closer than usual, which made Yuan more conscious of her. After falling asleep with difficulty, Yuan encountered the handsome man again. "Hey, I have a question for you." "What?" "Did you… Did I have my own family in the past?" The handsome man raised his eyebrows, and he said, "As in a wife and children? What do you think?" "I don't know, that's why I am asking you." A profound smile appeared on the handsome man's face, and he snapped his fingers, changing the scenery to inside a bedroom. Yuan looked at the bed, where two figures laid— the handsome man and a naked woman whose face he cannot see because she had her back facing him. "*email protected#^, I want to start a family with you." The woman suddenly said in a low and nervous voice. "You should know that's not possible with my situation…" The handsome man sighed. "Even if you won't be there for us in the future, I want your child. Or am I not worthy to bear your child?" "It's not about being worthy. I have a lot of enemies, and they will only continue to increase as I chase after my dream. If they know that I have a child… They will target you even when I am gone. I don't want you nor our child to bear such a burden." The woman snorted, "Burden? I already have plenty of burden as your Dao Companion. A few more won't matter to me. If you don't want to start a family with me, just say so. There's no need to make any excuses." "I'm sorry…" The handsome man said. "Hmph! I finally understand why all of your previous girlfriends left you!" The woman got out of the bed and began wearing her clothes in a rushed manner. "Goodbye!" The woman left the scene in a red face, slamming the door behind her. "Haaa… There goes another one…" The handsome man sighed after she left. "Why do I continue getting Dao Companions when this kind of situation keeps on repeating itself? Am I hoping to find someone that is willing to wait for me until I achieve my dreams? As if there are any women out there willing to wait that long…" Yuan was brought back to the mountain peak after that short flashback. "So you refused to start a family? Because you are afraid of burdening them? I thought you were strong— strong enough to protect them." Yuan said to him. "You know nothing, kid. Nobody is born at the peak— not even the ultimate genius. Despite where I ended, I wasn't always strong." "Furthermore, I was too dedicated to cultivation, so even if I started a family, I wouldn't have any time for them. There's no point…" The handsome man shook his head.
