They walked to their room and Lia opened the door of the bathroom to enter it.
The inside of the bathroom was so flashy that Rio's eyes shone and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
It had a wide bathtub that was ten times bigger and two times deeper than any he had seen before.
He was unsure if it was a bathtub or swimming pool but after seeing the structure of it he was confirmed it was a bathtub. The material made for it was white in color. There were white stairs built outside and inside to enter the bathtub.
There were small glowing pebbles-sized magic lights placed around the bathtub structure that lit it up from the inside. The ceiling was transparent so he could see the clouds, however you wouldn't be able to see from the other side. It was especially created by expert architects.
There were three showerheads to the left of the room whose switch was moon-shaped while two were placed above the bathtub as well. There were other tools as well but he ignored them and focused on the fierce girl's action.
Lia went towards the bathtub and sat beside on the outer stairs. She beckoned Rio.
He went towards her and looked at her with questioning eyes.
"Go inside it after putting away your clothes." Lia said to him with a nonchalant voice.
"What… no... I'm a shy person. I won't do such a thing in front of a girl. I'll never do it." Rio shook his head and index finger in front of her while closing his eyes like a great scholar.
He opened his eyes to see that Lia was glaring at him while crossing her hands.
"But I'm shy…" He said with a little voice and walked inside the bathtub like a lamb to the slaughter house.
She kept glaring at him which almost froze him.
"Please fill it with the water then I'll take off these clothes and satisfy your desire to peek on my enticing body." Rio said proudly while rubbing the tip of his nose with his finger.
*Bang*
A fist suddenly bonked his head and he rubbed his head. He looked at the source of violence "Sorry, I misspoke."
Lia turned around the moon-shaped switch that was placed on the top of the bathtub and water started falling inside.
Rio saw, there was a tiny bathtub drain hole in the middle of the surface which let the water pass at a slower speed. It kept the water in the bathtub fresh and clean while not making it overflow.
The water soon filled the bathtub. Rio started taking off his shirt then put it outside the bathtub. He took off his pants and underwear which he hid inside pants before keeping it outside. He was embarrassed to show her this stuff.
Lia's face became beet red as she saw him taking out his underwear and hiding it. She could also see his little brother down below in the water but it was a little unclear. She pretended not to say it out loud.
Lia was mesmerized by his looks and the naked body. His bare chest was inviting her like a cunning demon. She ignored these thoughts and focused on what she was here for.
She took out a lot of bottles and started unsealing them. She turned around the moon-shaped switch and the water stopped going inside the bathtub. The bathtub drain in the middle of the surface also closed which made the water inside the bathtub stay stilled.
She emptied the bottle contents in the bathtub one by one. When she spilled the last one, the water started making bubbles and turning dark green.
Rio first looked with curious gaze then he felt the temperature of water rising.
His tranquil eyes replaced that of chaos. It felt bearable at first but after a few seconds passed, he started jumping which caused the water to splash.
"Oh… oh… this is hot… Are you planning to cook me alive in this bathtub and have me as a soup for your lunch? I can't even come out without my clothes." Rio cried out in pain as his flesh was burning by the hot water.
"That was my plan." Lia amusingly said.
"Okay, I'll come out even if it means to give your eyes a heavenly treat." Saying that Rio was about to place his leg out but…
*Bang*
His head got bonked by a fist again.
"These are the high quality medicinal herbs that will help your body with cultivation, absorbing the mana and beast soul. They are grown by me in my garden yet you don't value it." Lia said with a disappointing voice and a sorrowful glint flickered in her eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't know." Rio apologized while gritting his teeth, he continued, "Please tell me next time beforehand so I can be prepared."
"Okay, I'll think about it." Lia said with a nonchalant voice.
He scrunched his eyebrows and closed his eyes. After some time passed, his body started going numb from the pain.
His skin pores slowly started absorbing the water medicine. The water temperature lowered as the water started turning light green.
Lia sank her hand in the bathtub to check it and then she turned around the moon-shaped switch.
The bathtub drain opened and water started lowering in the bathtub while water fell from the showerheads that were above Rio's head.
The cold tiny droplets of water collided with his body and chased away the numbness from the pain. His face regained serenity and the burning sensation stopped.
A soothing effect enveloped his body.
He felt reinvigorated and enjoyed the water kissing his naked skin.
