Volume 2 Chapter 67 / Chapter 155: Beauty In The Spiritual Spring
A silver moon hung high in the night sky. After the breaking of the Red Refining Five Lotus Array, the Formation of the Chi Dragon Mansion also managed to completely suppress the Extreme Blaze Spiritual Qi. Several days of light rain had made the scorching summer around the Chi Dragon Mansion cool and humid.
A gleam of flying sword light rose from within Du Chun City, tracing an arc in the sky, and then speeding towards the direction of the Chi Dragon Mansion.
On his way there, Ye Anping encountered quite a few guards patrolling, but because he was wearing the uniform of the Profound Star Sect and had a disciple’s identity badge on his belt, he encountered no obstacles along the way.
The cool breeze brushed against his handsome face, adding three points of elegance and three points of calmness to him.
Ye Anping pondered Junior Sister’s recent request as he flew on his sword.
Junior Sister wanted a child, which was a reasonable request, but it was a difficult problem for him personally.
—He doesn’t feel any sexual urge when he’s with his Junior Sister.
If he sought the root of the problem from a medical perspective, it should be that his body produced something similar to “antibodies” against Junior Sister’s scent and hormones.
Similar to the problems faced by long-time married couples, most couples faced issues such as decreased frequency and duration of intimate activities. The reason for this was that their central nervous system had become accustomed to the pheromone scent emitted by their partner.
Therefore, his central nervous system couldn’t produce enough dopamine, endorphins, testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and acetylcholine in his body.
“If it really doesn’t work, I’ll steal some of Dad’s medicine from the Hundred Lotus Sect later and give it a try…”
Ye Anping showed a troubled expression. He and Junior Sister were immune to things like “aphrodisiacs” and “seductive scents” due to their lifelong training in poison resistance.
However, he didn’t know if his father’s usual medicine, which could rejuvenate one’s vitality, would work for him.
Lost in thought, Ye Anping arrived at the location of the spiritual spring he remembered.
This place was deep in the mountains, with no direct road leading here. The surroundings were quiet in the night, with only the sound of birds chirping and the gentle breeze blowing. The spiritual spring was located in the center of a group of Chinese parasol trees.
Currently, there was only a sparse mist over the pool, and the edges were all mud and stones, just like a natural hot spring.
Ye Anping scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, making sure there was no one nearby. Then, he walked to the edge of the spiritual spring, feeling the temperature of the water with his hand. It was similar to bathing water.
At first glance, the spring water seemed like a pot of fresh fish soup, milky and greasy, with no bottom visible.
But when he submerged his face in the water and opened his eyes, he realized that there was only a layer of creamy white spiritual energy floating above the water, and the water below was extremely clear.
“Haaa…”
Ye Anping sighed lightly with a wry expression. It seemed that the Chi Dragon Mansion had probably not discovered this spiritual spring yet, otherwise they would have protected it and set up restrictions. After all, a spiritual spring was also a precious treasure.
After making sure there were no issues, Ye Anping began to undress, revealing his body under the moonlight, causing even the shy moon to blush.
Ye Anping didn’t usually like wearing vests or short-sleeved undershirts. At first glance, he seemed like a frail young master, but in reality, his physique was extremely well-defined, with clear contours of eight abdominal muscles, and his abdominal vest line was particularly distinct.
He actually paid attention to his physique. Most cultivators who underwent rigorous training would develop muscles akin to stone, but he had thought ahead and used pills to regulate himself and Junior Sister, deliberately avoiding turning themselves into “Dwayne Johnson” and “protein queens.”
Entering the pool, Ye Anping found a relatively flat spot, leaned against a rock in the pool, sat down cross-legged, and submerged everything below his neck into the water. He closed his eyes, dispersed the spiritual energy from his dantian into the pool, and then re-injected the water and wood dual spiritual energies into various meridians.
Warm currents flowed over his body, and Ye Anping relaxed. He began to practice the six-character mantra of breathing, preparing to soak for a couple of hours before returning to sleep with Junior Sister.
Clouds drifted slowly across the sky, gradually covering the moon behind them, shy due to Ye Anping’s appearance.
Suddenly, swoosh swoosh—two sounds caught Ye Anping’s attention in the pool.
Someone was here?
He slowly opened his eyes and, through the white mist on the pool, vaguely saw two or three figures standing at the edge of the pool.
“Young Mistress, there’s no one here. I brought seven or eight maids from the mansion to patrol the surroundings. If anyone approaches, they will drive them away. Young Mistress, please bathe in peace.”
“Mm.”
Li Qianjin nodded and, with the help of her maid, slowly removed her outer clothes and bodice. Then, she dipped her toes elegantly into the water, testing its temperature, and slowly walked into the pool.
After half of her body was submerged in the water, Li Qianjin withdrew her hand from the maid’s grasp to avoid wetting her clothes.
“Ling’er, you should go around. I’m fine alone.”
“Young Mistress, Ling’er can also come in to support you. This spiritual spring has not been renovated, and there may be small stones on the bottom. If you accidentally slip later…”
“It’s okay.”
“Alright… Young Mistress, if you need anything, just call me. I’ll be nearby.”
“Mm…”
Listening to the conversation between the mistress and the maid, Ye Anping felt inexplicably depressed now.
He had just wanted to shout, “Someone’s here!!”, but as he was about to say it, he felt that if he did, the maid named Ling’er would definitely rush over without a second word and attack him. After all, she hadn’t seen his true face last time when he had his face wrapped in bandages.
And Li Qianjin undressed too quickly. It was difficult for him to leave now.
“… …”
Seeing Li Qianjin walking towards him, Ye Anping sighed helplessly and opened his mouth slightly, but in the end, he chose not to speak. After all, Li Qianjin couldn’t see him, so he could just wait for her to finish bathing and leave later.
By then, no one would know what had happened today.
Li Qianjin further fueled the flames, using her small hands to peel off the spiritual energy on the surface of the pool, step by step, slowly approaching Ye Anping’s direction.
Since she was completely naked, he could see everything clearly.
Her pure white body was delicate and beautiful, her slender waist curved like a crescent moon, and her skin was as clean and pure as a stream.
The only flaw seemed to be her navel, which wasn’t very neat due to the knots made by the midwife when cutting her umbilical cord. But overall, it didn’t detract from her beauty.
Ye Anping held his breath and suppressed his aura, knowing that besides her exceptional vision, Li Qianjin also had outstanding senses. He didn’t want her to notice him, but he couldn’t help feeling a twinge of sympathy, though he quickly pushed it aside and closed his eyes to continue his cultivation.
However!!!
“Junior Sister Li, have you already entered? The mist in this spiritual spring is so thick.”
Suddenly, the voice of Xiao Yunluo echoed, causing Ye Anping’s eyes to snap open in horror, glaring in the direction of the sound.
Li Qianjin heard the voice and replied loudly, “Yes, Senior Sister Xiao, I’m already inside. Has Senior Sister Feng arrived?”
“She’s playing dice in the gambling hall of the Chi Dragon Mansion. She said she’ll come later.”
“In that case, you should come in first.”
“Alright, I’ll undress.”
The sound of rustling clothes came, and Ye Anping slightly parted his lips, contemplating whether he should speak up. But before he could make a decision, Xiao Yunluo had already entered the pool barefoot, splashing water as she approached.
“The mist is so thick. Junior Sister Li, where are you? It’s so misty in here.”
Li Qianjin replied, “Over here!”
Following her voice, Xiao Yunluo approached and soon spotted a head above the water’s surface.
The deep purple eyes on that head stared straight at her without moving.
—Silence fell as the two pairs of eyes kept staring at each other.
Ye Anping: “…”
Xiao Yunluo: “…”
