Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 68: 68: Jade Beauty

"Nice. There's a waterfall here." Athena said with a beaming smile on her face. She had been itching to take a bath from all the dirt on her body. She couldn't wait to wash her body and remove the smell of blood she got from the blood of the beasts that she killed.

Fushigiro stared at the waterfall with a ponderous expression. Then he turned his head at his members.

"Well, we are lucky this time. Take a bath and clean your wounds. It will help to reduce the risk of infection. Also Dunn..."

"Yes, captain?" Dunn yawned and looked at Fushigiro.

Fushigiro took out empty containers seven inches in height and two inches in width. Then he pushed it toward Dunn and gave a command:

"Fill up these containers. We are running low on supply of water. We might die first of dehydration before the beasts get us."

Dunn chuckled.

'Captain is really humorous.' Caleb watched the interaction quietly.

"We can finally take a bath." Said Fatty, doing a happy dance that made his belly wiggle. He took off his upper shirt. "Let's go guys."

*Coughed* Fushigiro cleared his throat and gave Fatty a wary smile. "Let the girls go first."

Deflated, Fatty sat on the flat stone. He looked at Caleb and couldn't help but complain. "Why must they go first?"

"I don't know. Probably, the captain is a gentleman?" Caleb said jokingly, which made the corner of Fushigiro's eyes twitch.

"Still... A waterfall on the mountain? Really?" Clifford sighed.

Andre scratched his scalp. "Why? Isn't it possible?"

Jin happened to walk by and hear the conversation between the two. He sat on the flat stone and said with a matter-of-fact tone. "Let me guys enlighten you. It's quite common to find lakes and waterfalls in mountainous regions. These natural features are often formed as a result of the unique geological and hydrological processes that occur in mountain areas. Mountain lakes can be found at various elevations within a mountain range. Glacial activity, where glaciers carve out depressions in the landscape and meltwater collects in these depressions, often creates them. These lakes can be large or small. As for Waterfalls... Waterfalls are also common in mountainous areas due to the steep terrain and the presence of fast-flowing streams and rivers. As water flows downhill, it can encounter cliffs or steep slopes, leading to the formation of waterfalls."

'This guy is a walking encyclopedia.' With a sigh, Caleb almost burst out laughing when he saw Fatty, Andre, and Clifford's blank expression. Their faces were full of question marks.

"Just as I've thought." Fatty nodded with a smile as if he got it.

Andre and Clifford turned at Fatty almost simultaneously and stared at him with skeptical eyes. Andre whispered, barely enough to hear. "I couldn't even understand half of it. You understood?"

"What? Can't it be said that I'm a few times brighter than the two of you?" Fatty said with disdain. "Monkeys."

"Bastard!!" x2

Seeing this, Jin shook his head with a disappointed expression. 'These kids are a bit. Hmmm... intellectually challenged.'

Caleb sighed at this comical scene. Then he called out his status.

Just like that, the girls had finished bathing. It took them half an hour or so... Caleb even wondered as to what the fuck made them take so long.

Caleb looked at Rina up and down. He couldn't help but feel that he was in the presence of a fairy. To borrow Chinese poetry, she was like the jade beauty always described in Cultivation Novels.

After emerging from a refreshing bath, she presented herself as a vision of ethereal beauty. Her hair, resembling the vibrant hue of a red rose in full bloom, glistened as droplets of water clung to the strands, creating a mesmerizing play of colors. Brown eyes, deep and expressive, were even more striking against her now pristine complexion.

What truly captivated anyone who gazed upon her was the unique allure of her eye area. The bath accentuated the natural grace of her features, making her eyes appear even more enchanting. Her plump lips, now moist and inviting, held a delicate rosy tint as if kissed by the morning dew. These lips seemed almost as if they were tainted with a hint of blood, adding a mysterious and alluring quality to her appearance.

Her form was equally captivating. Two magnificent peaks adorned her chest, accentuating her streamlined body. The silver armor, which had previously concealed her physique, now clung gracefully to her, revealing a slender yet toned form underneath. The gentle curves of her figure spoke of strength and grace in perfect harmony.

As she turned her head, two small earrings, each housing a vivid green gem, caught the light, casting delicate emerald glimmers that seemed to dance with her every movement. The contrast of the glistening gems against her radiant, bath-fresh skin added a touch of elegance to her overall enchanting presence. She stood before him, a captivating embodiment of beauty and allure, her essence lingering like a cherished memory.

"Like what you see, Johan?" Rina smirked as she caught Johan staring at her.

"Ahem..." Caleb cleared his throat. He forced a smile upon his face and said. "I'm just envious because you're done bathing. Excuse me, it's my turn now..."

As he said this, Caleb casually walked towards the waterfall where Dunn and the others gathered. 'Tsk... Like what I see? I like your mother!'

Seeing Caleb's leaving back. Rina shook her head with a small smile playing on her lips. 'He really knows how to handle situations.'

It was what made her curious about him. If it was a boy, like Andre or Clifford, they would surely stutter or show signs of awkwardness. However, Johan was different. He behaves like a stable and mature guy who can handle awkward situations casually. Just like now, he managed to shrug off her teasing. This made her intrigued and left her wondering.

What she didn't know was, Caleb was not really a 17-year-old guy. He was an old bastard from another world.
