Chapter 13

Seeing the expressions of the two girls, and thinking over Megan’s words, Ethan Brooks let out a bitter laugh, looking at the two girls with grief and indignation, and said in a voice full of desolation, “You can’t possibly be thinking that, right?”

Megan and Bella nodded.

Ethan Brooks fell silent. After a long while, he sighed in disappointment, “If I said things aren’t the way you think, would you believe me?”

The two girls shook their heads without hesitation.

Ethan Brooks lowered his head to look at himself, then glanced at the bedding on the bed. Well, this time it’s like mud falling into the crotch—whether it’s shit or not, it’s still shit.

“Anyway, it’s not the first time.” Megan sighed. Poor families have this fate, serving as maids, busy inside and out. She drove Ethan Brooks off the bed, and the two girls quickly and efficiently gathered up the dirty bedding, preparing to take it outside to wash.

“You wait in the room. Bella and I will go boil some water. Take a bath before you go out, and change your clothes too.” With her arms full of things, Megan reminded him.

“Thank you for your hard work! Thanks!” Ethan Brooks felt quite uncomfortable. Who would have thought that practicing a technique would leave him like this? Those things that looked like muddy sludge and smelled bad were definitely impurities expelled from tempering the body and meridians. To someone who didn’t know, it would look like Ethan Brooks had wet the bed.

Even so, the two girls still dutifully cleaned up the dirty bedding without complaint.

So Ethan Brooks felt it necessary to thank them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the two girls, who were about to leave, froze in their tracks and stared at Ethan Brooks as if he were a monster, not even daring to blink.

This young master actually knows how to say “thank you”? Did they mishear? Megan and Bella exchanged glances, wondering what kind of day it was—why was one strange thing happening after another?

“Aren’t you going to get the bathwater ready?” Ethan Brooks’s old face turned as red as a monkey’s butt. His current state was truly too embarrassing.

Only then did the two girls snap out of it, hurriedly responding and running out the door.

Before long, a big bucket of steaming hot bathwater was ready. Ethan Brooks took off his sticky clothes and jumped in eagerly, giving himself a thorough wash.

He had only been in this world for less than a day. He’d spent all last night sorting through memories, then practicing the Impermanence Technique, and hadn’t had time to check the condition of his body.

After washing off the grime, Ethan Brooks happened to catch a glimpse of his arm and was stunned.

This body… it didn’t look like a man’s at all. The skin was even fairer than most women’s, the figure was slender, with broad shoulders and a narrow back, and especially the hands—what kind of hands were these?

Fingers like carved scallions, palms like jade mirrors, soft and boneless, as if lotus flowers in bloom!

Arms as white as jade, flawless and fair!

Even thinking of these flowery descriptions made Ethan Brooks feel disgusted, but he never expected that such exquisitely crafted hands would appear on a man, and on himself no less. With hands like these, even women would probably die of jealousy.

Unless you’re from the Tang Sect, you could never understand how much a pair of good hands can boost your strength.

All hidden weapons rely on the coordination of both hands to be released. The making of mechanisms requires even more dexterity. The Tang Sect classified disciples’ hands into three grades: from lowest to highest—Skillful Hands, Marvelous Hands, and Soft Hands!

Only with Skillful Hands can one display the essence of the Tang Sect’s three unique skills. With Marvelous Hands, one can unleash 120% of their power. The legendary Soft Hands can release hidden weapons at 200% effectiveness.

Soft and boneless, a pair of Soft Hands can attack the enemy from the most unimaginable angles—absolutely the best asset for a Tang Sect disciple.

In his previous life, Ethan Brooks only had a pair of Skillful Hands, but after reincarnation, he unexpectedly possessed these heaven-defying Soft Hands.

It seems that although the original owner of this body didn’t leave him any strength or foundation, he did leave behind a great body!

After marveling with delight for a while, Ethan Brooks tested his body’s flexibility. It was decent—still a bit stiff, but with plenty of room for improvement.

No wonder—the original Ethan Brooks often imitated the disciples of Tianxiu, so it’s not surprising his body had some flexibility. With a bit of training to tap into this body’s potential, it would definitely get even better. Releasing hidden weapons doesn’t just require good hands; bodily coordination is also crucial.

He soaked for a full hour, spending most of the time studying his body and thinking about how to unlock its potential in the future. Only when Megan and Bella called from outside did Ethan Brooks finally climb out of the tub.

Glancing at his clothes, Ethan Brooks almost threw up. Who knew what the original Ethan Brooks was thinking—his clothes were all gaudy, bright red and purple, with embroidery on every piece.

Ethan Brooks quickly asked the two girls to throw in a plainer set from outside. Only after putting them on did he, with wet hair, open the door.
