FTTW: Chapter 16 – Portal Imprint

Cheng Zhou grabbed a change of clothes and a bathrobe and went into the bathroom. The warm water rushed down and took away all the exhaustion.

Cheng Zhou was immersed in the comfort of the shower when the bathroom door was suddenly opened.

Cheng Zhou was startled and looked at the person at the door helplessly: “What are you doing?”

Ye You justifiably said: “You have a rebellious nature. I have to keep an eye on you by all means in case you have any crooked ideas!”

Cheng Zhou: “……” Even so, you don’t have to stare at me while I’m taking a shower. This is extremely awkward. Ye You shouldn’t have been afraid, right? Well, this is a completely unfamiliar place to him. He may be feeling insecure.

Ye You leaned against the door, eyeing Cheng Zhou and looking up and down.

“Don’t look at me like that!” Cheng Zhou said with some embarrassment.

Although it is common for people to get naked in the bathroom, and being candor is normal, having Ye You stare at him still made Cheng Zhou feel weird.

Ye You said nonchalantly: “You don’t have anything worth looking at, so it doesn’t matter!”

Cheng Zhou: “……” This is a bit too much! He has always been in great shape! Seriously, since there is nothing to see, why does Ye You want to keep looking?

Under Ye You’s staring gaze, Cheng Zhou washed his hair and body with body wash. Cheng Zhou felt that this bath was an unprecedentedly long one.

Ye You folded his arms together, gazed at Cheng Zhou, and said: “There is a portal imprint on your back!”

“Portal imprint?” Cheng Zhou asked with some confusion.

Ye You activated the seeds in their bodies so that Cheng Zhou could see what he saw.

Through Ye You’s eyes, Cheng Zhou saw the imprint of the portal, and there was a complex hexagram on it.

“Is this on my back?” Cheng Zhou queried in surprise.

Ye You nodded and said: “Why? Don’t you know?”

Cheng Zhou shook his head, “Of course, I don’t know.”

“Then you are really disoriented.” Ye You shunned and said.

Cheng Zhou: “……” How could he possibly know that there is such a thing on his back?

Cheng Zhou wiped his body with his bathrobe and said: “What do you think it could be? Could I also be a fallen demon you were talking about?”

Ye You disagreed and said: “It doesn’t look like it. Your ability is somewhat like spatial shifting, but also a bit like a teleportation array. It is said that some highly skilled alchemists in ancient times could inscribe teleportation arrays on leaves. If a person gets their hands on a teleportation leaf, they can shift using the teleportation array on it.

Cheng Zhou frowned and said: “You mean, I have a teleportation array inscribed on my body?”

Ye You nodded and said: “Something like that, but who knows.”

Cheng Zhou smiled and said: “If it’s really a teleportation array, I’m afraid it must be a very high-level one!” An array that allows him to shift to another world is too powerful.

Ye You acknowledged and said: “It’s really impressive. Those crazy alchemists will definitely be very interested in you. If they know you have this imprint on your body, they may try to turn you into alchemical materials.”

Cheng Zhou: “……”

Ye You continued to speak with fervor: “If some extreme fallen demon haters find out about your ability, you might be sent to the gallows! Being reduced to ashes after your body is burned, I don’t know if there will be anything else remaining of you. Maybe all that’s left is the portal.”

Cheng Zhou with a darkened face glanced toward Ye You speechlessly. This guy, Ye You, is really a jerk. Saying such terrifying words using such a calm tone. So scary! However, recalling that night, it seemed that something did enter his body.

Cheng Zhou asked curiously: “Have you seen a teleportation array before?”

Ye You shook his head and said: “No.”

Cheng Zhou replied with some disappointment: “It turns out that you haven’t!” Ye You has not seen it before but he is talking so much.

Ye You responded with some annoyance: “It is not easy to synthesize a teleportation array. It is very laborious and costly, and even if the financial resources are sufficient, it still requires a skilled alchemist to do the work. So, there is nothing strange about me not having seen it before.”

Cheng Zhou hurriedly nodded and said to appease: “It’s not strange, it’s not strange!”

Cheng Zhou thought that if the teleportation array really exists, he will have to find a chance to take a look at it in the future. He may be able to study the teleportation array, and thorough research of the array may help him better control the ability to travel through the different worlds.

Ye You raised his chin and said: “Let’s stop talking about this. I’m going to take a bath just like you.”

Cheng Zhou nodded and said: “Got it.”

Cheng Zhou taught Ye You how to use the shower and the different shampoos. Then he turned around and walked out.

“Where are you going?” Ye You asked in a stern tone while staring at Cheng Zhou.

Cheng Zhou said helplessly: “I’m going to get you a towel and a change of clothes.”

Ye You consented and said arrogantly: “You can go.”

The sound of running water can be heard from the bathroom. Cheng Zhou stood at the door, thinking hesitantly, to see or not to see. If he doesn’t see, then it seemed like he suffered a loss. After all, the other side has already seen him naked.

Cheng Zhou struggled at the door of the bathroom for a long time, but he still couldn’t make a decision.

Ye You opened the door and walked out. The water droplets fell down the hair at Ye You’s temples, and the complexion of the person in front of him was as white as snow, looking very picturesque.

Although he didn’t manage to see the beauty taking a bath, being able to see the beauty just coming out of a bath is not a loss!
