# Chapter 74: Ah! I'll Choke You to Death
Jiangnan was just feeling emotional over here!
Then he heard a "bang!" from upstairs. Jiangnan rolled his eyes!
Can't we have a moment of peace here?
He made his way to Xia Yao's room.
There she was, somehow — shoes not taken off, pajamas not changed, her hair a mess like a bird's nest, already asleep!
At this moment, her body had fallen halfway off the bed, her lower half still on the bed!
After some struggle, he finally managed to carry Xia Yao back onto the bed.
Leaving Xia Yao's room, he headed to the bathroom.
Looking at the oversized luxury bathtub, Jiangnan nodded with satisfaction!
Without a second thought, he filled it with Power Potion!
He jumped in and enjoyed a nice soak, savoring the pleasure of his body's physical improvement.
Let's not even mention the other effects — just the physique enhancement brought by Power Potion alone!
Had already made his body's toughness comparable to a Beast-Transformation Spirit Warrior of the same rank!
It was even significantly stronger; the effect could be seen from the battle in the Heavenly Lake Lingxu!
The only problem was that drinking Power Potion would make you bald, otherwise Jiangnan would be drinking it every day!
But not long after...
He heard another "bang!" from upstairs!
Jiangnan climbed out of the bathtub with a dark expression and reluctantly went to Xia Yao's room again!
He found that Xia Yao, who had been on the bed just moments ago, had already fallen to the floor and was almost rolling under the bed!
Ten minutes later, Jiangnan came out of her room, sweating profusely, and clapped his hands.
He swore to the heavens!
"If I ever let you drink again, I'm not human!"
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Jiangnan had lost the mood to bathe.
Tired, he went back to his room and fell asleep immediately.
The next morning.
Zhong Yingxue woke from her slumber and rubbed her aching head.
The villa was quiet; everyone was still asleep.
So she decided to take a shower first to start the day off right!
When she arrived at the bathroom, she found a tub of bathwater already drawn.
It sparkled under the morning sun, and it wasn't cold either.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Hmm... did Xiao Nan prepare this for me? Hehe! How thoughtful!"
She shed all the external things and soaked herself in it!
After a while, her beautiful face began to show astonishment.
Because she could feel streams of power in the water continuously improving her body!
Enhancing her physical fitness in every way!
You had to know that elemental-type Spirit Warriors might possess extremely powerful long-range attack abilities!
But their bodies were incredibly frail; their biggest fear was close combat!
And this bathwater could directly improve physical fitness?
How amazing was that?
Her face was full of wonder.
"What kind of water is this? Why does it have such miraculous effects? It's incredible!"
Physical fitness was extremely important for Spirit Warriors!
It was fine for Body-Enhancement-type Spirit Warriors, but for elemental-types like her, improving physical fitness was nearly impossible!
Yet this bathwater managed it easily!
This was undoubtedly a huge boost to her strength.
Barely containing her excitement, she soaked for half an hour until she felt her body was almost saturated!
She quickly wrapped herself in a bathrobe and ran toward Xia Yao's room.
"Xiao Yao! Xiao Yao! Come try it out! It's amazing!"
But the moment she pushed open Xia Yao's room door, she froze!
Xia Yao was wrapped tightly in her blanket like a big zongzi, rolled up like a spring roll.
Bound firmly to the bed with rope wound around and around!
What... happened last night?
Xia Yao heard the noise and groggily woke up, only to find herself "sealed," her face full of panic!
She twisted her body, but couldn't break free!
You could see how tightly Jiangnan had tied her up last night!
At this moment, she was finally recalling fragments of what happened last night.
It seemed she had fallen off the bed several times, and Jiangnan had put her back?
And he tied her up like this?
You could see just how desperate Jiangnan was last night!
Had he seen her unrestrained sleeping posture?
Wahhh!
Thinking about this, Xia Yao was about to die of embarrassment!
Her face turned as red as a big apple!
"What happened last night?"
Xia Yao looked guilty: "N-nothing."
She quickly changed the subject: "What did you want, Xuexue?"
Zhong Yingxue said excitedly, "Oh right, Xiao Yao, you need to go try it out!"
"The bathwater Xiao Nan prepared can actually improve physical fitness!"
Xia Yao: ???
Bathing can improve physical fitness?
Is it really that amazing?
Zhong Yingxue went over to untie her, then dragged her to the bathroom!
Looking at the sparkling bathwater in the tub, Zhong Yingxue urged, "Quick, give it a try! I wonder if it still works!"
"I'll wait for you outside!"
Xia Yao looked suspicious.
But Zhong Yingxue didn't seem like she was lying.
And since she hadn't bathed last night before sleeping, Xia Yao wanted to relax a bit too.
She stripped down and soaked herself in the tub.
Looking thoroughly relaxed, she even hummed a little tune!
Soon, she felt her physical fitness slowly improving!
She was shocked!
As a Bronze Seven Star Beast-Transformation-type, she already had an extremely strong physique!
She had only tried it on a whim, but didn't expect it to actually work!
So amazing!
Xia Yao became even happier!
She splashed water and gently caressed her own skin!
Feeling pretty awesome!
She even placed a few little yellow ducks on the water surface to play with!
But when her gaze continued downward, her movements suddenly stiffened...
She thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, so she rubbed them!
She wasn't seeing things!
Xia Yao: ???
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
With a scream, Xia Yao jumped straight out of the bathtub!
Her eyes were full of terror and fury. She grabbed a bathrobe and flew out of the bathroom like the wind!
She charged straight toward Jiangnan's room!
Zhong Yingxue heard Xia Yao's scream and thought something had happened.
Then she saw Xia Yao kick open the door to Jiangnan's room.
Like a ferocious tiger pouncing on its prey, she pinned Jiangnan to the ground!
Her two hands grabbed Jiangnan's neck, her face full of venom!
She shook him with all her might!
Shouting, "Ah! I'll choke you to death! I'll choke you to death!"
O(▼皿▼メ;)O
"It's gone! You owe it to me! It's all gone..."
Jiangnan, who had been having a sweet dream, was suddenly startled awake!
He was choked until his eyes rolled back, unable to breathe, and couldn't help but kick his legs!
His soul nearly got shaken out!
Jiangnan: ???
What the hell is gone?
I'm so confused right now!
In cartoons, don't girls usually wake boys up very gently?
How come this is choke-and-shake?
A physical alarm clock?
