"This fellow, why isn't she here yet?" Cloud Retainer was currently lying on her couch, reading a book.
However, her mind wasn't on the book at all. From time to time, she would put down the book in her hand, frowning slightly as she looked outside the room.
Since she had told her to come over later, why was she delaying for so long?
Was she scared?
Cloud Retainer let out a soft snort, and couldn't help but feel a little displeased with Ann.
She wasn't some man-eating monster, and she even maintained her human form specifically after seeing Aether.
Was her human form not good-looking? That guy still hadn't appeared.
Originally, she thought of going directly to find Aether, but after a moment of thought, she felt it would be a loss of face, so she ultimately didn't move.
Just wait a little longer. If he still doesn't come after a while, she'll personally go and teach that little girl a good lesson. Shenhe wouldn't be able to stop her.
"Sigh..." Cloud Retainer let out a hot breath and refocused her gaze on the book.
She didn't know what was going on today; she simply couldn't read this book, and her body felt a strange heat.
She was somewhat impatient, wanting Aether to appear before her.
...
A moment later, just as Cloud Retainer was growing impatient, her door was finally knocked upon.
"Hmph, come in!" Cloud Retainer waved her hand, and the originally locked door automatically opened.
Aether slowly walked in, and then the door closed with a "bang" and locked itself again.
"This adeptus thought you hadn't taken this adeptus's words to heart." Cloud Retainer completely put down the book, her gaze slowly falling on Aether.
However, with just one look, her eyes instantly couldn't move away.
Aether's hair was still a bit damp, and he wasn't wearing that coat; his upper body only had a loose, baggy shirt.
Below, there was even less to say; he also wasn't wearing a skirt, but because the shirt on his upper body was a bit too wide, it could barely serve as a dress to cover him.
His fair little face still showed a hint of pink, looking like he had just finished bathing.
"I, I'm sorry, True Monarch, I went to take a bath." Aether was a bit uncomfortable under Cloud Retainer's burning gaze and lowered his head slightly.
This was still Shenhe telling him not to dress formally, but to come just like this.
It seemed to be very effective; Cloud Retainer's originally displeased expression quickly vanished.
However, because he was slightly bowing his head, he didn't notice that Cloud Retainer's vanishing displeasure was quickly replaced by other emotions.
Her eyes also changed, enough to devour him.
"Take a bath?"
Cloud Retainer's eyes widened slightly. Why take a bath for no reason? If he had to, he should have done it in the afternoon after finishing things with Shenhe. What was the point of bathing now?
Did he misunderstand her meaning, thinking she wanted him to come for...
Thinking of this, Cloud Retainer suddenly felt a rush of blood to her head. Even though she was an adeptus who had lived for thousands of years, she had never experienced this feeling before.
A strange impulse came from the bottom of her heart, quickly occupying her entire mind.
Her body was getting hotter and hotter.
"You... come closer." Cloud Retainer swallowed, waving her hand at Aether.
