Chapter 378: The Bone-chilling Cold in the Hot Spring Pool
In the twilight, surrounded by mountains, lay the hot spring pool.
Lin Fan, wrapped in a bath towel, soaked in the water, gazing upon the misty landscape as one with the mountains and waters, lost in thought.
It was agreed to be just a meal. Who would have thought they’d end up at the hot springs? As beautiful as the scenery was, after his intense confrontation with Zhu Dan that afternoon and having burned through his lunch, soaking in a hot spring on an empty stomach was hardly enjoyable.
"How do you like the view here?"
Just as Lin Fan pondered where to get some food to fill his stomach, he heard the voice of Zhu Defu from behind. Wrapped in a bath towel as well, Zhu Defu, wearing slippers, walked up to the pool, tested the water temperature, and sat down in the water.
"The scenery is indeed nice here, Uncle Zhu knows how to enjoy life."
Lin Fan could not say much and had to respond with a smile.
"As one gets older, one no longer has the vitality of youth and begins to appreciate the ways of maintaining health," said Zhu Defu in the hot spring. With a splash, he washed his face and continued, "Ten years ago, I too loved the company of women, indulging in food, drink, and pleasures, enjoying the joys of carnal delights. A night of excess would leave me vigorous the next day, but not anymore. Time spares no one; it’s like sheathing a precious sword and hiding a fine instrument. Now, no matter how beautiful a woman may be, she can’t awaken the dormant dragon."
