Chapter 1407: A bath
Roan didn't discard that possibility. "True. However, it's more likely that he has a bloodline from a race with good sensory abilities. Obviously, it has something to do with his eyes as well."
Rean patted the boy's head before asking, "How old are you, little man?"
"I-I don't know," the boy answered truthfully.
Rean didn't mind and touched his shoulder before sending his Divine Sense and Light Element inside. After checking his bones for a few seconds, Rean reached a conclusion, saying, "He is around six years and two months old. Then again, even I can't give the precise day of his birth as there are small changes during one's growth. Well, let's just say you're six years and two months old for the sake of the matter."
Roan then mentioned, "I thought he was older than that."
Rean understood why. "Indeed. He does look older than he really is. But that's probably because of how dirty he is. Look at him. He's fully covered in sand rags."
Falangia was surprised to hear that. "Only six years? He's already in the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He's doing pretty well, no?"
Rean and Roan looked at each other after hearing that. Back in Lanqueas and Huring, this kind of cultivation at this age wasn't anything impressive. However, in this Treavin Continent, where Divine Energy was only a fifth of the amount, it could indeed be said to be very good. Especially since he obviously didn't have anyone providing him the resources to cultivate. "Oh, aren't you quite a strong boy?"
Rean then asked him, "What's your name?"
"I-I'm Luan," the boy answered.
"Luan? Luan what? What's your family name?"
Luan shook his head after that. "I don't think I have one."
Falangia nodded in response, saying, "That's very common here. I also don't have a family name, nor did I give one to my daughter. There isn't much of a point in doing such things in this place. It's not like we can go after our family and ask for help or anything like that. A lot of them just give themselves names if they didn't get one."
Rean nodded and patted Luan's head again. "That's a nice name nonetheless. Now then..." Rean looked at Roan, who understood what he wanted.
Roan then flicked his finger, and Luan's clothes were completely ripped apart. Soon after, Roan used his Yin Energy to gather the Water Element in the surroundings, creating a ball of water that floated in the middle of the room. Surprisingly, he even made it slightly warm. "Sure enough, Water Element is very scarce as well. It took me several seconds just to summon this water ball."
Falangia was shocked to see that, though. Even if she concentrated for several hours in a row, she might not be able to gather even a small jar of water. Of course, she didn't have Water Element, so it made things even more difficult. Due to the environment, Water Element Affinity cultivators were very, very rare.
Roan then used his Divine Soul Power to grab Luan and throw him into the water ball. Roan could have used his Divine Soul Power to simply detach the dirt from Luan's body, but even he had to admit that a bath felt much, much better. It was mostly psychological, but using Divine Soul Power to take away the dirt of the body simply didn't make one feel as clean as a shower or a bath.
Surprisingly, Rean also had some bath products to wash Luan's body through and through, making him look a completely different person by the time he was done. "Oh! After a bath, you now like a kid around six or seven years of age," Rean said with a smile.
Luan didn't know what to say. For a moment, he thought Roan was trying to drown him in the water. However, he began to feel very good, as he had never taken a warm bath before in his life. Now that it was over, he even felt like he wanted to go back into the water ball. "T-Thank you."
*Ahem...*
Falangia then pointed at the boy's little friend and asked, "Shouldn't you put some clothes on him?"
Rean nodded, saying, "That's true. Let me see what I have..." Rean then looked into the Dimensional Realm and found some of Malaka's old clothes from the time when she was still a kid. Malaka had always been a boyish girl, so her clothes weren't directed at any specific gender. "Here you go." With that, Rean used his Divine Soul Power to quickly put Luan into the clothes.
After that, Roan nodded, satisfied. Even he, who usually didn't care about appearances, had to admit that Luan was a lot more pleasing to the eyes. "That's much better."
Suddenly, Rafatia looked at the fake Rana before asking, "Rana, can you ask him to let me do that as well?" Sure enough, seeing another kid feel very good in the bath made her jealous.
Rana nodded, not minding it at all. Of course, that was actually Rean controlling the light fairy. "Of course!"
Rean laughed as well. "Hahaha! Well, I guess a bath isn't something easy to get in this place."
Roan already helped the boy, so he might as well go through it. Without Falangia being able to say anything, he had already summoned another ball of clean water and pulled Rafatia over with his Divine Soul Power. Once again, another kid was given a full bath, with all the perks included.
Rean then looked at Falangia as Roan finished her daughter, asking, "Do you have clean clothes, or do you want me to use some of my little sister's? It's just some clothes, so it isn't anything impressive or expensive."
Falangia looked at her naked daughter floating in the water ball, having the time of her life. She didn't look the least bit embarrassed, what embarrassed Falangia instead was something else. "Sigh... just give her a few clothes then..."
Not too long after, the boy and the girl were now smelling very nice as they looked quite satisfied.. "Well, kids are quite easy to please in a place like this," Rean said with a smile.
