'What the?'
Yuan was surprised to see the thing between his legs suddenly grow in size and become as stiff as a rock, as this was his first time experiencing such a phenomenon.
He turned to look at Feng Yuxiang and asked her in a calm voice, "What's happening to my body? Is this also the effect of the treasures?"
"I-I guess there was a treasure in there that improved one's stamina…" Feng Yuxiang said in a stiff voice, mostly because she also didn't expect that it'd result in Yuan's precious area getting 'more stamina' as well.
"Is this a bad thing or a good thing?" Yuan then asked.
"I think it will be fine… It should calm down later." Feng Yuxiang said with a nervous look on her face, silently hoping to herself that it'd calm down by itself.
"Okay." Yuan believed her and got out of the bathtub.
"..."
Yu Rou and Meixiu stared at Yuan's glistening body. Although they wanted to look away, they were unable to for some reason.
Meixiu then noticed Xiao Hua also staring at Yuan with a calm look on her face, yet there was a hint of intrigue within her innocent gaze.
After drying his body, Yuan wore his clothes again, but it felt different than usual, even a little uncomfortable with the way his body is currently reacting.
"This is uncomfortable and is somewhat inconvenient to walk around," said Yuan with a slight frown on his face while looking at the obvious bulge between his legs.
Feng Yuxiang swallowed nervously at the sight of the Yuan's bulge.
Despite being over 100,000 years old, she had zero experience in these kinds of situations.
"You can try cultivating to calm it down." Feng Yuxiang then suggested.
"I will do just that." Yuan nodded, and he left the bathroom shortly after.
He then took a seat in the middle of the room and began cultivating. Of course, since he was sitting down, it made the bulge in his pants even more obvious.
"This is super awkward…" Meixiu muttered in a low voice.
"Right? We have taken baths together for many years, so I have seen his naked body plenty of times, but I am still embarrassed by it." Yu Rou said in a somewhat bragging voice.
"Hm?"
Yu Rou suddenly turned to look at Xiao Hua, who started approaching Yuan for some reason.
Once she stood in front of him, Xiao Hua squatted down and stared at the bulging area with a profound look on her face.
"W-What are you doing?" Feng Yuxiang asked her in a dumbfounded voice.
Xiao Hua then pointed at the bulge and said, "Why is it like that? Xiao Hua has never seen anything like that before."
"Uhhh…"
Xiao Hua's innocent question left the others in the room speechless.
Turns out there was another person that was clueless about these kinds of topics besides Yuan in their group.
"That is what happens when your body is overly excited," Feng Yuxiang gave her a brief explanation without going into depth.
"Don't worry, it will go away soon," she then added.
Xiao Hua nodded and no longer paid attention to this phenomenon on Yuan's body.
Sometime later, Xia Jingyi spoke in a low voice, "Wow… The speed he's cultivating at is very astonishing… Is this because of his cultivation technique?"
"I guess you can say that…" Yu Rou nodded.
After spending a little over an hour cultivating, Yuan suddenly stopped and opened his eyes.
He then turned to look at Feng Yuxiang and said to her in a complaining tone, "Feng Feng, it's not working. I cannot even cultivate properly because it's very distracting down there. And I think it's starting to hurt as well..."
Feng Yuxiang began sweating when she heard this, and she wondered if the treasure was too powerful or if Yuan had absorbed too much of the treasure.
After all, normal cultivators would only be able to absorb a portion of the treasure while letting the rest go to waste.
If Yuan's godlike physique also allowed him to absorb more treasures than one normally could, it would make sense why his body hasn't calmed down yet.
"Feng Feng, what exactly did you use for my brother's bathwater?" Yu Rou decided to ask her.
Feng Yuxiang showed a nervous smile and said, "The treasure that's causing his condition is most likely the Endurance Yang Root; it's a very popular treasure among male body refiners since it refines their muscles and boosts their endurance. However, there's a slight side effect… And that being a slight aphrodisiac effect…"
"Aphrodisiac effect?! You made my brother absorb that kind of evil medicine?!" Yu Rou was speechless.
"I-I swear it wasn't done on purpose! Normally, one would only be able to absorb about ten to thirty percent of the treasures, so this side effect won't affect the person too much if any at all! However, I might have overlooked the Young Master's unique physique, hence this situation…"
"I'm sorry… I won't put something like that in the Young Master's bath again," she apologized.
"Don't worry about it, Feng Feng. I know you don't have any bad intentions. However, this is a problem. I can't move around like this. How long will this effect last before it naturally goes away?" Yuan then asked her.
"S-Seven days…" She muttered in a low voice.
"An entire week?!" Yuan exclaimed.
There was no way he'd be able to endure this an entire day, much less a whole week.
"Is there anything we can do to relieve it quicker?" Yuan then asked.
The room instantly turned silent, and the ladies turned to look at each other.
Clearly, none of them wanted to be the one to tell him.
After a moment of silence, Feng Yuxiang cleared her throat and spoke with her back straight, "Ahem! Since I am the reason the Young Master is in pain, I shall bear all responsibility."
She then turned to look at Yuan and said with a bashful expression on her beautiful face, "Please follow me to another room, Young Master. I will take care of it."
