Whether the West Sea is cold or not, Nuo Xia doesn't know.

But the mountain hot springs in early winter must be very warm and comfortable.

At night in Hot Spring Mountain, the trees are lush and green, and orange lights are dimly lit.

Probably because the temperature dropped sharply at night and it started to snow lightly, there were not many people on the mountain. Apart from a few tourists, there were only a group of navy who came specially to soak in the hot springs.

The first branch base is less than ten kilometers away from here, and you can just walk there, which is quite convenient.

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

On the hot spring mountain, Peach Rabbit walked at the front, jumping up and down like a real little rabbit, and waving to the people behind the stone steps from time to time.

She had wanted to come here to soak in the hot springs for a long time, but unfortunately she was too busy with business and Nuo Xia was not in Xihai, so it was not interesting to come alone.

Today is finally my long-cherished wish.

"Coming."

Nuo Xia followed closely behind. Seeing Peach Rabbit's urgency, she quickly quickened her pace, took Little Rabbit's right arm, and strode into the antique hot spring gate together.

And dozens of meters behind.

Dingchun walked up the stairs with graceful cat steps, while the tea dolphin on the side was carrying a bunch of things on a load, grunting and chasing after him——

In that load, everything including sleds, skateboards, a change of clothes, etc. were all available. It probably weighed hundreds of kilograms and was stacked several meters high.

Why should I follow you?

Looking at the two figures walking hand in hand into the courtyard of the bathhouse in the distance, Cha Dou kept asking himself this question over and over in his heart.

Are you having a mental disorder? Or are you a little embarrassed to refuse Nuo Xia Tao Tu's warm invitation?

It doesn't seem to be the case.

Tea Dolphin sighed sadly. Tomorrow morning he would leave the West Sea and return to Malinvando. The next time he wanted to see Peach Rabbit, he didn't know it would be in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

so.

Perhaps the reason why I agreed to come is to cherish this last little time with Taotu.

He had long since extinguished the desire to pursue a confession, but he had to admit that having the opportunity to soak in the hot springs with Mootu in the open-air bath under the night——

Even if you are just looking at it from afar, it is quite attractive to me...

"What a humble dream."

A faint voice came from behind.

Tea Dolphin turned around and saw that it was Peach Rabbit's personal adjutant, Martha with long fiery red hair, looking at him with pity.

This hateful woman, if she hadn't blocked him from the door many times before, he would have succeeded in confessing his love long ago. Where would there be a chance for a latecomer like Nuo Xia?

Tea Pig's teeth were itching with anger, "I didn't say anything, Colonel Martha, don't speculate on other people's dreams, especially your boss's dreams, you bastard!"

"I really don't know what your dream is."

Martha was noncommittal, shrugged and moved beyond his height, and pointed to the right, "But I'm sure your dream is not as big as that thing over there."

thing?

The tea dolphin turned around again, his face suddenly darkened, and he saw a black lump on the soil on the right side of the stone steps that looked like ice cream. It was steaming and very conspicuous.

Woof!

Dingchun wagged his tail comfortably.

In the bathhouse.

Nuo Xia and Mootu, who arrived first, had already entered the dressing room under the warm welcome of the hot spring mistress. The layout inside was similar to the outside, and it was also antique.

There are screens, bamboo plants, and elegant black and white paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls.

"Are you from Wano Country?"

Peach Rabbit liked this environment so much that she couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's the land of flowers." The hostess smiled gently, "Although it's a little remote, it's also in the West Sea."

Is the Kingdom of Flowers located in the West Sea?

Nuo Xia was a little surprised and took a closer look at the hostess's outfit. Compared to the Japanese-style yukata, it indeed had more of the lingering charm of the Han and Tang Dynasties in her previous life.

Even with a glimpse of a leopard, one doesn’t know what the humanistic features of the Flower Country, which is said to be based on China, are like.

He became curious and decided that if he had time in the future, he must go to the Flower Country to have a look.

Women are very magical creatures. They put on makeup and dress slower than anyone else before going out, and their boyfriends can wait downstairs for two hours.

But when the warm bath water was placed in front of me, I changed my clothes faster than anyone else.

As soon as Nuo Xia put on his pants, he was pulled over by Peach Rabbit, who had been waiting impatiently, and ran along the cobblestone path to the bathing beach, even his clogs almost flew away.

The single bathhouse is not large, and is surrounded by tall bamboo trees. The environment becomes quieter while also taking into account privacy.

The water of the natural hot spring should be white and turbid, but what you see in front of you is slightly purple-red, with flower petals floating on the water.

After a gentle sniff, there is a faint fragrance of violet, floating in the hot air.

Taotu liked this better. She let go of Nuo Xia's hand and wandered around the hot spring. She sat down on a slightly sunken place where the stone was most suitable for leaning against.

The long and powerful legs, the concave and convex waist, and the proud snow-capped mountains all sink into the hot spring water.

The water mist filled the air, and I wondered if it was too hot.

The white bath towel wrapped around the round and delicate body, at some point, quietly spread out and sank to the bottom of the water...

Raising his head slightly, looking at Nuo Xia who was already in a daze, the little rabbit smiled slyly and patted the water:

"Here, come in."

When your fingertips fall on the surface of the hot spring, faint ripples appear.

Nuo Xia's pupils shrank and her expression became solemn.

Swish.

The sound of breaking wind sounded, and the figure disappeared instantly.

This day.

Nuo Xia's "shaving" reached its peak and finally entered the realm of land gods.

In the locker room.

"call……"

After finally placing her luggage, Cha Dou hurriedly changed into her bathrobe. As soon as she opened the curtain and was about to go in, she was stopped by the smiling hostess of the bathhouse.

"What does it mean that only two people can enter a bathhouse?"

Cha Dou couldn't accept what the hostess said, "I saw your billboard outside! It clearly said that there is a large open-air bath of more than 500 square meters, which can accommodate hundreds of people bathing together at the same time..."

"Ah, that's what happened."

The hostess bowed slightly and apologized, "It's just that there were too few guests today, so the large baths are not open. However, there are still more than a dozen small baths available. Your two companions just chose this one.

There is a small bathhouse that only allows two people to enter..."

Is there such a thing?

The large bathhouse would not be open if there were no customers... Such a stingy business would lead to closure sooner or later. Cha Dou felt angry and aggrieved for a while, but suddenly he saw Martha who had changed into a bathrobe and walked past with a calm expression.

Eh?

Tea Dolphin has some expectations in his heart, and his dream of bathing in hot springs with Peach Rabbit has been shattered, but Martha is not a bad girl.

Even if it is an iceberg beauty that is untouchable and difficult to talk to, staying together can still be eye-catching, which is much better than being alone...

"It's a beautiful thought."

After entering, on the cobblestone path, Martha refused politely, "I'm used to being alone, please don't follow me in."

"Then I can only be alone?"

The tea dolphin looked at her pitifully, begging for sympathy. Martha gave him a strange look and said, "Who said you can only go out alone? I have someone to accompany you."

What does this mean?

The tea dolphin was confused and suddenly felt heat coming from the top of his head. When he raised his head subconsciously, at the last moment he saw the face of a fat white dog that was biting happily.

Then it was like I fell into a moist ocean, and everything in front of me turned into darkness...

Woof!

After dragging the greasy uncle to the edge of the bathtub and kicking him into the hot spring, Dingchun jumped in and wagged his tail comfortably.
