The spring breeze enters the heart, and the ripples stir gently.
Even if she was a loli, she could still make a heart burn.
Baining stood right in front of Bai Li, her lotus-like steps moving slowly.
She paused with every stride, unhurriedly untying the silk ribbons of her outer robe.
Every movement was teasingly slow, as if she were kneading the very tip of someone’s heart.
Under the guise of a demonstration, her heart was plotting an obvious little scheme.
‘I have to make Bai Li stare directly at my body this time and let her figure out her feelings. Is it the shy flutter of romance, or is she just treating me as family?’
Her slender fingers pinched the fine string at her collar, slowly undoing it.
She followed this by tilting her head slightly, her pearly white teeth lightly biting the end of the string while her other hand leisurely unfastened the buttons of her bodice.
Even Baining herself felt a wave of bashfulness, and the tips of her ears were quietly stained crimson.
But in front of her beloved, this bit of shyness was like a dragonfly skimming the water—not worth mentioning.
Her eyes flickered as she stole a glance at Bai Li.
As expected, Bai Li had already covered her face tightly with both hands, yet she could not resist peeking through the gaps between her fingers.
“Daughter! This is a necessary step you must learn. You have to watch closely. You must stare at it!”
Baining spoke with feigned seriousness, her voice hiding a hint of undetectable urgency.
“I… I know!”
Bai Li was startled by the shout.
She hurriedly lowered the hands covering her face, her earlobes so red they looked like they might drip blood, and her gaze darted back and forth.
She did not dare to look around, yet she did not dare to look away.
Her predicament was both awkward and adorable.
Seeing this, the corners of Baining’s lips quirked up.
With a hidden smile in her eyes, she did not stop her movements for a second.
The outer garment drifted lightly to the floor, followed by her hand reaching up to loosen the knots of her inner clothing.
The fabric slid down layer by layer, revealing glowing skin that shimmered with a delicate luster under the dim light.
Her petite figure exuded a uniquely alluring charm.
Finally, her slender yet graceful form was fully revealed before Bai Li.
“Well… how was it! Did you see all the steps clearly just now?”
Baining spoke with feigned ease, her cheeks flushed with a faint red, her gaze locking onto Bai Li’s eyes.
“I… I… I saw it.”
Bai Li stammered her response, her heart thumping like a drum.
Although she had helped Baining bathe before, that was back when Baining was just an infant, a tiny baby.
Now, suddenly seeing such a petite yet seductive legal loli…
Having been single for two lifetimes, Bai Li could hardly withstand it.
Her heart fluttered intensely, and she was too embarrassed to look away.
What was even more fatal was that while they were father and daughter on the surface, the two of them did not share a drop of blood!
Hiding this inexplicable thought in the depths of her heart made her feel as if her entire body was burning with shame.
“Baining… hurry up and get into the spring! This is… this is so embarrassing!”
Bai Li turned her face away and shouted, her voice trembling slightly.
She raised her hands to cover her face again, but still left a gap between her fingers.
“Coming.”
Baining responded and stepped into the hot spring.
The spring water rose past her ankles, her calves, and finally submerged her entire body.
As soon as she turned back, she saw a hilarious sight.
Bai Li had already secretly moved to the very edge of the hot spring.
She was curled into a ball with her back to Baining, her head buried low.
She looked like a shy kitten trying to find a place to hide when a guest arrived at the house.
“Hmph~”
Baining let out a soft snort.
Just a moment ago, her heart had been in her throat, fearing that her petite body—somewhere between a young girl and a child—would not catch Bai Li’s eye or have any attraction at all.
But seeing the other’s bashful appearance, her hanging heart instantly settled.
Instead, a surge of confidence welled up.
“Bai Li~ why are you so far away? Come closer to Mother~”
As she spoke, Baining stepped through the warm spring water, slowly walking toward Bai Li.
The water rippled with soft splashes as she approached step by step.
“Go away, go away! I’ll just soak over here by myself!”
Bai Li waved her hands frantically without even daring to look back.
Her voice was full of panic, and she moved her body even further toward the edge of the spring.
“How can that be? You don’t know how to clean your wings yourself. I’m coming over to teach you~”
Baining was beaming with smiles, her footsteps not stopping for a moment.
As the warm water reached her waist, she deliberately slowed her pace, closing in inch by inch.
“I can figure it out myself! Baining! Hurry up and finish so you can put your clothes on! I’m afraid… I’m afraid… that I’ll…”
Bai Li’s voice grew smaller and smaller until, by the end, she was almost inaudible.
Even the tips of her ears were completely red.
“Oh? Bai Li? What are you afraid of?”
Baining deliberately leaned in close, her warm breath brushing against Bai Li’s ear.
It carried the steam of the hot spring and a faint, sweet fragrance that was incredibly teasing.
Her fingertips lightly brushed against the other’s shoulder.
‘I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold myself back… eh?’
As soon as the words left her mouth, Bai Li herself was stunned, and a roar went off in her brain.
She suddenly remembered that she was “concave” right now…
How could she not be able to hold herself back?
Crap, crap!
To say such provocative words in front of her daughter—what was she?
Had she become a rebellious father?
“Alright, alright, I told you we’re both girls now~”
Baining chuckled, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness.
“When you were little, I used to take care of Ziya and Longjiu’s wings all the time. Bai Li, acting like this only proves your thoughts aren’t pure~”
“Wh… what! You’re talking nonsense!”
“If you want to prove I’m wrong, then generously let me come closer.”
Baining tilted her head and smiled, no longer hiding the craftiness in her eyes.
“What are you afraid of? Isn’t that right~”
“…That still won’t do… even if I’m a girl now, I used to be your father!”
Bai Li stiffened her neck, trying to feign composure, but her body still instinctively shrank back.
“Tsk… a disobedient daughter needs to be punished~”
Baining clicked her tongue and arched her brows, the previous tenderness completely vanishing.
The wicked little thoughts of the Vampires were fully revealed.
She didn’t even try to persuade her anymore; she simply leaned forward and lunged straight at Bai Li!
“Crap!”
Bai Li cried out in surprise.
“Don’t come over here! You Rebellious Daughter! Rebellious Daughter, ahhhhh!”
The miserable and panicked screams, accompanied by the splashing of the hot spring water, echoed out from the private bathhouse of the Vampires, lingering in the air for a long time…
