When Li Hua returned to her quarters, she secured the door and activated the protective barriers. The long day of spiritual exertion—creating not one, not two but three advance formations and travelling between sects—had left her quite exhausted.
She kicked off her shoes with a sigh of relief and moved purposefully toward her private bathing chamber. With practiced efficiency, she prepared her evening bath by pouring spirit water from her inner space into the deep jade tub.
She retrieved the familiar jasmine-scented oil and shampoo, setting them along the bath's edge.
Li Hua extended her hand palm-downward above the water's surface. With delicate control, she channeled her fire essence—allowing precisely calibrated heat to flow into the bath. The water responded immediately, heating to the perfect temperature without a single bubble forming.
