Chapter 316 Change another one
When danger struck, he, as the manager of the manor, actually abandoned the prince and the others and ran away on his own. Now, looking back, he deeply regrets it.
Now that he's said he's also dealt with the swarm of bats, which indirectly helped their resort resolve a potential problem, how could they possibly ask for more money from them?
As for the damage he mentioned to the courtyard, it was at most just some broken tables, chairs, and teacups, which weren't worth much. He said he could just find someone to replace them and repair them.
"Take it if I give it to you." Qingyang's face darkened as he tossed the money to the steward. "Don't go around saying that our prince is using his power to freeload."
"No way! This...this...you don't need that much..."
When the manager and the people cleaning the yard saw the dead bats scattered all over the ground, they were speechless with shock.
I was almost scared to death when I saw those six big bats.
I've never seen such a huge bat before; it looks terrifying.
What kind of breed is this?
Could it have become sentient?
I thought the scene would just be a mess, but I never expected it to be such a horrifying sight.
Judging from the horrific scene, everyone was thankful they weren't there.
No longer caring about the horrifying scene, the manager quickly ordered people to clean up the courtyard.
To avoid being seen by guests after daybreak and having any bad rumors spread.
If word gets out, who would dare to visit the resort?
They forced themselves to endure the nausea and began cleaning up the scene.
First, they gathered all the bat remains and the corpses of the bat demons together, then burned them with firewood, washed away the bloodstains on the ground, and cleaned the hot spring pool by changing the water, etc.
After bringing Long Chuqing out, Xiao Han did not go directly back to the guest room. Instead, following Long Chuqing's wishes, he led her to another clean courtyard.
Xiao Han asked doubtfully, "Chu Qing, does soaking in the hot spring really help?"
"It's somewhat useful."
She knew it wouldn't be very effective, but she had no other choice.
Even if you go back to your room at this point, the bed will still be cold, so it's better to stay in the hot spring to suppress some of the chill.
Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing. "Okay, I'll take you there."
It was almost midnight, the night wind was blowing, and the temperature had dropped a bit.
The manager and the few people who cleaned the yard all went back to rest one after another.
Xiao Han stood guard outside Long Chuqing's courtyard, and Qing Tong and the others also stood guard outside the courtyard with him.
As time ticked by, and Long Chuqing remained motionless in the hot spring, Xiao Han grew anxious.
I wonder how she is now, whether she's feeling any better?
Xiao Han, who had been standing quietly waiting, started pacing back and forth anxiously.
The group of men, including Qing Tong, had doubts, but dared not ask.
Because they had gotten quite a bit of blood on themselves from killing the bats, they took turns washing up in the men's bath next door.
But now they've all returned, yet Miss Long still hasn't come out?
She seems to be feeling unwell?
Could he have fainted inside?
Qing Tong was startled and quickly told Xiao Han what he had thought of: "Your Highness, I heard that it is not advisable to soak in hot springs for too long, as it may cause dizziness. Miss Long has not made a sound. Could she have fainted in there?"
Xiao Han naturally knew that soaking in hot springs for too long was not advisable, but Long Chuqing's situation was rather special, and she herself was aware of this as well.
Since she chose to come here, it proves that these special phenomena have no effect on her.
But after hearing what Qing Tong said, he immediately became worried.
What if?
In case he really faints...
He quickly called out loudly, "Chu Qing, are you alright?"
"Chu Qing, Chu Qing..."
The night was quiet, and only the sound of the wind answered him.
He might have felt more at ease if he could hear a response, but there wasn't even a slight reply.
This worry wasn't just felt by Xiao Han; even the others, including Qing Tong, couldn't help but feel concerned.
Did she really faint inside?!
After thinking it over, Xiao Han pushed open the courtyard gate and walked straight inside.
After passing the screen, one could see Long Chuqing leaning against the edge of the hot spring pool, her head resting on her arm, motionless.
I don't know if it was from weakness or from falling asleep.
"Chu Qing..."
Xiao Han strode to the edge of the pool, squatted down to check, and found that the sleeves that were wet had frozen solid, and his hands were also ice-cold, without any warmth.
Xiao Han was immediately horrified.
"How could this be?"
He reached out to check the water temperature and found that the pool water was already ice-cold.
He just went to the men's bathhouse next door to wash up. The water temperature there is still very high, and if you soak for too long, you'll get unbearably hot.
Is there something wrong with the water in this pool?
He ran to the water outlet to check the temperature, and the water temperature was normal, but it got cold when he got into the pool.
Could it be caused by the cold energy in Chu Qing's body?
This is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's the truth.
Chu Qing must be taken out of the water immediately, otherwise, if she stays in it any longer, something bad will really happen.
"Chu Qing, Chu Qing." Xiao Han gently shook Long Chu Qing's shoulders.
Long Chuqing lifted her eyelids slightly, then slowly opened her eyes.
She slightly raised her head and saw Xiao Han looking anxious.
As the temperature dropped, the dragon scales on her body surfaced uncontrollably once again. With the help of Fei Feng, she managed to suppress them, but the cold air continued to invade her body, causing the pool water to cool down instantly. She also fell into a brief drowsy state due to exhaustion.
"Xiao Han, what's wrong?"
Her voice was weak and listless, and every word conveyed weariness.
what happened?
Doesn't Chu Qing feel cold?
Seeing how pale and tired she looked, her condition was not optimistic.
"The pool water has cooled down completely; you can't soak in it anymore."
Long Chuqing also noticed the abnormal water temperature and her right hand, which had become numb and stiff from being used as a pillow.
She slowly moved her frozen right hand into the pool, and the thin ice on her sleeve quickly melted in the water.
"Okay, let's go get another one."
Xiao Han frowned. He disagreed with the idea at all, and he was afraid that changing the person again would lead to the same result.
Now it seems that the hot spring water is not helping Chu Qing's body to dispel the cold.
Xiao Han gently persuaded, "Can we not soak anymore? I'll take you back to your room."
Long Chuqing hesitated for a moment. Judging from the current situation, the pool water was indeed not of much help to her.
She nodded, "Okay."
Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief. If she insisted, there was nothing he could do about it.
Since it's not very effective, soaking it any longer might harm your health.
When he tried to pull Long Chuqing out of the water, her clothes instantly frosted over as soon as she left the water.
"This?" Xiao Han was shocked again. What was the difference between this and splashing water and it freezing instantly?
Long Chuqing dived back into the pool, and the ice on her clothes quickly melted.
She said embarrassedly, "Why don't you go out first? I need to take off my clothes before I can leave the water."
Otherwise, like before, you would need to use your internal energy to shatter the frozen clothes in order to escape.
Xiao Han nodded, "Okay, let me get your clothes out for you first."
