Seeing Lin Anlan return, Su Yang led her to the bathroom, which was designed with a modern mindset, combining the toilet and shower in one unit. Once inside, Su Yang said, "You'll shower here later. I don't need to teach you how to use it, right?"

Lin Anlan nodded and said, "I will do it."

"Okay." Su Yang glanced at Lin Anlan's clothes again and said, "I don't have any suitable clothes here. They look a bit dirty. If you don't mind, you can wear the clothes I bought at the market earlier." Actually, Lin Anlan's clothes were filthy, but Su Yang was considerate of her feelings; after all, girls have a sense of vanity, so he phrased it tactfully. Lin Anlan was quite accepting of wearing Su Yang's clothes. She had lived and eaten with her companions during their training, so she was relatively accepting.

Su Yang rummaged through his clothes, handed them to Lin Anlan, then turned and walked outside, closing the door behind him to go play with Yi Er San. Lin Anlan looked at the slightly rough clothes in her hand, and thoughtfully went into the bathroom to take a shower.

About ten minutes later, Lin Anlan, wearing Su Yang's clothes and holding her own dirty clothes, stood in the room. Not seeing Su Yang in the room, she called out, "Su Yang, I'm done washing."

Hearing Lin Anlan's voice, Su Yang walked into the house from outside. He saw that Lin Anlan, who had washed up, looked completely refreshed. She was no longer the dirty girl she had been before. Her skin was not fair, and after years of exposure to the wind and sun, it was not as delicate as that of an ordinary woman. Her wet hair was draped over her shoulders, and she was standing barefoot on the floor, giving Su Yang the feeling of a girl next door from the countryside.

Su Yang faintly smelled a faint scent of blood, which he traced back to the old clothes in Lin Anlan's hands. Su Yang walked over and said as he prepared to take the clothes, "Finished washing? Feeling better now? Give me the dirty clothes, I'll wash them. You go upstairs to sleep." He reached out to take the clothes, but Lin Anlan hesitated for a moment before handing them to Su Yang and running upstairs.

At first, Su Yang didn't understand why she was being so coy. But after taking the clothes, he was shocked to realize, "Could it be that there are her underwear in here?" He took them to the stream and started washing them one by one. Fortunately, he didn't find any clothes that looked like underwear. At that moment, Lin Anlan was lying in bed, snuggled in the quilt, clutching her underwear tightly in her hand. She was lost in thought and gradually fell asleep while listening to the chirping of insects outside the window.

After washing the clothes, Su Yang hung them on a wooden stick in front of the door and went into the room, saying to the second floor, "I've finished washing your clothes, you should go to sleep early." However, he didn't hear Lin Anlan's voice for a long time, assuming she was asleep. Su Yang closed the door, moved the dining table and chairs to make room, tidied up a bit, and prepared to sleep there. At this moment, Die'er whispered, "Su Yang, we'll sleep here tonight too. You have to replenish our elemental power before you go to sleep tonight; our elemental power is almost used up."

"Can't I replenish you while you're inside the ring? Why do you need to take human form and sleep with me?" Su Yang asked, puzzled.

"Why don't you think about what will happen when she wakes up tomorrow morning and doesn't see us? What will we say when she asks us where we slept? Will we lie again?" Die'er tapped Su Yang's head and said with exasperation.

"Alright then, I don't have a bed here. You'll have to make do tonight. I'll buy some necessities tomorrow, since we'll be living together for a while." Su Yang reluctantly agreed. He canceled the light elemental power he was using for lighting and began to replenish Linglong and Die'er's elemental power. As his cloud and mist elemental spiritual power levels increased, he had to transfer more and more elemental power to Die'er and Linglong. Originally, transferring only a quarter of his elemental power was enough for them to use for a long time, but tonight he had to transfer half of his elemental power to satisfy them. Although the transfer process was simple, requiring only the visualization of a transfer channel, it consumed a lot of spiritual power. After the transfer was finished, Su Yang felt exhausted and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lin Anlan woke up early. Perhaps it was because she hadn't had such a peaceful rest in a long time, or perhaps it was because she had gone to bed early the night before. She got up very early today, sat up in bed, and looked at the hazy morning outside the window. It was as if everything was a dream. She sat there for a while, looked at the clothes in her hand, and then got out of bed to wash them herself.

As she walked down the stairs, she saw Su Yang sleeping on the floor, with Die'er and Linglong sleeping in his arms. She tiptoed past the three of them, but just as she passed Die'er, Die'er grabbed her ankle, startling her so much that she almost cried out. Die'er lay on the floor and whispered, "Where are you going?"

Lin Anlan pointed in that direction and whispered, "Let's go for a walk."

Die'er didn't say anything, released her grip on her ankle, and let her go. Only after Lin Anlan walked out of the room did a sly smile appear on Die'er's lips.

Stepping outside, Lin Anlan looked around and saw her clothes, washed and drying on a wooden stick. She was momentarily at a loss as to where to wash them. Just then, the three Icewing Dogs woke up, came out of their kennel, sniffed around Lin Anlan, wagged their tails, and ran towards the stream. Seeing this, Lin Anlan figured she didn't know where to wash her clothes anyway, so she simply followed the Icewing Dogs to see what they did. As she walked, she suddenly heard the sound of flowing water. Lin Anlan then remembered that she had crossed a stream on her way here, and quickly walked forward. When she reached the stream, the three Icewing Dogs began to drink. After they had drunk their fill, Lin Anlan squatted down and began to wash her clothes.

Three ice-winged hounds sniffed around Lin Anlan. Although they had smelled her scent when she first arrived, they could still detect Su Yang's scent on her today, so they kept circling around her, making it difficult for Lin Anlan to do her laundry. At this moment, a call spurred the ice-winged hounds away.

"Little One! Little Two! Little Three! Come back for dinner!" It was Su Yang's voice.

Hearing their owner's call, the three Icewing Dogs took off running towards the cottage. Seeing them running back, Su Yang put the food on the ground and went back inside to prepare his own breakfast. Lin Anlan finished washing her clothes and then slowly walked back. Along the way, there were ripe vegetables everywhere. Strolling along the country path, watching the dawn break on the horizon, she felt relaxed and happy.

Entering the small house, Lin Anlan saw Su Yang making breakfast. Su Yang was also surprised to see Lin Anlan come in from outside and said, "You got up so early. I was going to call you after I finished making breakfast. Well, please sit down first. Breakfast will be ready soon."

"I'll go upstairs first..." Lin Anlan said somewhat awkwardly, then jogged upstairs to the second floor, hung her underwear to dry not far from the window, and then came downstairs. Die'er and Linglong were already seated downstairs, and Su Yang had brought out the breakfast he had just prepared, so the group began to eat.
