Chapter 5: Surprised or Not? Astonished or Not?

Murong Kunpeng realized that he had completely misjudged the situation; the Yinsha Cold Pool was extremely luxurious, yet this cave dwelling was surprisingly simple

Although they were all quite beautiful, they lacked the ethereal quality of cultivators. Instead, their behavior was frivolous and their demeanor was lighthearted, especially when they walked, twisting their slender waists as if they were about to break.

Jiang Hanxue's expression darkened, and she suddenly saw a tall and strong man emerge from behind this group of "Wenqing Dao disciples"

With a sigh, Jiang Hanxue gradually awakened from her slumber, squinting her elongated phoenix eyes that did not originally belong to her. She gazed at the white mist rising gracefully before her; although it seemed no different from before, there was an unsettling feeling that something was amiss.

Jiang Hanxue often practiced in the cold, sinister pool, and she was more than familiar with the sensation of being immersed in the water. Never before had it felt as warm, gentle, and intimate as it did at this moment, as if her entire body had been tenderly kissed by a lover

But no matter what the trick is, it is certainly better than this dream of his

He feels as if he has returned to his mother's embrace from childhood, warm and secure, much like the summer sea breeze calming his restless heart

If I remember correctly... I am soaking in the Yin Sha Cold Pool, right? Jiang Hanxue blinked, why... is it so warm?

Beautiful rose petals are still floating on the water's surface, vibrant and brilliant, with a faint floral fragrance permeating the air, refreshing and heartwarming, romantic...

This is clearly a man's hand

Murong Kunpeng closed his eyes and unknowingly fell into a deep slumber

Jiang Hanyue curled her lips into a sinister and chilling smile, and upon hearing the voice, it was indeed directed at me. Ha, I shall see who dares to stir up trouble with me, Jiang Hanyue

It was not until this moment that Jiang Hanxue realized the changes in her body. Although her body was submerged in the hot spring pool from the neck down, and the surface of the water was covered with rose petals, preventing her from seeing herself, she keenly sensed that something was missing from her chest

Not only did he fail to fight, charm a girl, seize a treasure, or put on a show, but he even wants to take another nap in his dreams

This caused Jiang Hanyue's heart to sink as she realized that the cold, sinister pool had indeed transformed into a hot spring due to someone's machinations, and she had unknowingly been sealed of her magical powers

... ...

Wait a moment! Jiang Hanxue's gaze fell upon her outstretched finger. Although this finger was also quite fair, it was still much darker compared to her own snow-white complexion. The finger, while slender, was considerably thicker than her own, and its joints were prominent, with clearly defined tendons.

However, what Jiang Hanyue did not expect was that there was no operation of the "Dan Fire" within her body, and that tall, strong man was completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened at all

Murong Kunpeng certainly did not wish to fall asleep just like that, but for some reason, it felt as though the fatigue that had been suppressed for so long suddenly surged upon him

The Yin Sha Cold Pool is a feng shui treasure of the Dan Xuan Palace

Upon entering the stone cave that served as a bedroom, Murong Kunpeng looked at the empty space, where there was only a completely black stone bed, and his lips twitched slightly

Jiang Hanxue's gaze, as cold as a knife, fell upon them

Perhaps he had expended too much energy in the Yin Sha Cold Pool before, and now he could hardly open his eyes, only wanting to crawl onto that pitch-black stone bed and enjoy a good sleep. The sharply defined, hard stone bed was surprisingly enticing

It is said that beneath the cold, sinister pool lies the "Reincarnation River of the Underworld," which is why an incredibly dense and rich source of dark, malevolent energy continuously flows and merges into the spring water.

How are you, Brother Bird? Surprised? Astonished? The tall and strong man, completely unaware that he had just taken a detour on the road to the underworld, winked at Jiang Hanxue, who was frozen in shock in the hot spring pool, and said: "Let's make some noise, little darling!"

The cold pool of Yin Sha is designated for separate bathing of men and women, with male disciples using it on odd days and female disciples on even days. Today is indeed an even day, so where does this lecher come from

Such bizarre and unusual attire is unprecedented and unheard of, and the vibrant patterns on the cloth also confirm that they are certainly not individuals from the Danxuan Palace

Regardless of what he wishes to do, simply based on his intention to invade my privacy, I will kill him; who can stop me

You are a prodigy, why not ascend to the heavens? A glint of cold light flashed in Jiang Hanxue's eyes as she raised a slender, fair finger and pointed at the tall, robust man.

This originates from the pure black malevolent energy of the River of Reincarnation, which is too intense for cultivators to bear directly, even for Jiang Hanyue.

Lying on that pitch-black stone bed, although his whole body was uncomfortable from the roughness, Murong Kunpeng felt so comfortable that he wanted to moan.

This is going to be quite an event! Jiang Hanxue's beautiful cheeks are sculpted like they were chiseled by a knife, and the sharpness emanating from her elongated phoenix eyes is captivating. At this moment, the sounds of chirping birds and cheerful laughter suddenly approach, growing ever closer

However, with the transition of the water from the Yin Sha Cold Pool, the practitioners of Dan Xuan Palace can utilize it for their cultivation. This is one of the foundations that allows Dan Xuan Palace to dominate the cultivation world.

This natural cave, although very deep, is not dark. Every so often, a luminous pearl is embedded in the stone walls, casting a soft glow that illuminates everything in the cave. ... There are no sofas, coffee tables, large beds, televisions, computers, refrigerators, water dispensers, air conditioners, washing machines, wardrobes, shoe cabinets, bookshelves, or storage cabinets ...! ... None of these are present! Sofas, coffee tables, large beds, televisions, computers, refrigerators, water dispensers, air conditioners, washing machines, wardrobes, shoe cabinets, bookshelves, storage cabinets ...! ... None of these are present!

The person who stirs up trouble has arrived

Soon, the sounds of cheerful laughter and chatter from the lively women reached the edge of the pool. Although the hot spring area was shrouded in mist, as they drew closer, Jiang Hanxue was still able to see these women clearly

Then the question arises, why would those who inquire about emotions appear in the Yin Sha Cold Pool

Murong Kunpeng has read an overwhelming number of fantasy novels, where the basic trope of crossing into another world is often: "Exceptional talent and excellent roots, cultivating for one year is equivalent to ten years, alchemy, artifact forging, and array formation, I am a versatile expert"; or "The villain is endlessly foolish, specifically sending subordinates to provide experience, and all companions are weaklings, relying on surprise during battles"; or "Occasionally browsing roadside stalls, impulsively buying a brick, and upon returning home and wiping it, discovering it to be a broken version of an ancient artifact"; ... or again, "The villain is endlessly foolish, specifically sending subordinates to provide experience, and all companions are weaklings, relying on surprise during battles"; or "Occasionally browsing roadside stalls, impulsively buying a brick, and upon returning home and wiping it, discovering it to be a broken version of an ancient artifact"; ... or even "The expert possesses immense strength, capable of annihilating the world with a single strike, yet after fighting for tens of thousands of years, the mountains and rivers remain unchanged"

The tall and robust man lewdly opened his arms, wrapping one around a "Wenqing Dao disciple" on the left and the other on the right, and said to Jiang Hanxue with a cheeky grin: "Brother Bird, let's stir up some trouble together!"
