Bathing Together

Mu Zi had just leaped into the Taiqing Immortal Pond when she felt a pure and peculiar energy surge in from all directions, pouring endlessly into her body.

With a faint stir of her mind, a clear radiance surfaced over Mu Zi's body, isolating that energy outside.

This special energy in the Taiqing Immortal Pond was a unique effect produced after a Samsara Stage senior had passed away in meditation, due to the cultivation technique she had practiced.

That senior seemed to have some connection with the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, so the energy in this pond water was of considerable benefit to Taiqing Palace disciples who cultivated the "Nine Heavens Immortal Technique." That was why Ling Qingzhu had taken the risk to come here.

Releasing her Spiritual Power to sense it briefly, Mu Zi found that within the energy in the pond water was an exceptionally pure life force. It was easy to imagine that this energy possessed rather remarkable healing effects.

In Mu Zi's perception, that life force was much purer than the Life Power within the bodies of Life Profound Realm experts, so it could heal many hidden injuries and chronic ailments that Life Qi could not restore.

However, compared with the Life Qi born when Mu Zi activated the Life Realm, the life energy within the Taiqing Immortal Pond was on an entirely different level.

In terms of the purity of Life Power alone, even Samsara Stage experts could not compare with Mu Zi.

With such powerful Life Qi flowing Within His Body, all of Mu Zi's hidden injuries had long since been completely washed away. Her body was like that of a newborn infant, flawless inside and out, as if nothing in the mortal world had left any Traces On His Body.

Since she possessed a "holy healing treasure" with even stronger effects, Mu Zi had no reason to absorb the pond-water energy within the Taiqing Immortal Pond. After all, letting bathwater enter her body still made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Within the Taiqing Immortal Pond, a soft, fair naked body cut through the dazzling pond water and swiftly swam toward the depths.

Mu Zi did not linger in the shallows. Instead, she dove straight down to the bottom of the pond, searching for Ling Qingzhu's figure.

The Taiqing Immortal Pond was not large in area, but its depths were exceptionally spacious. There were also many twisting waterways within, making the terrain extremely complicated.

With a stir of Mu Zi's mind, her Yuan Power was completely transformed into Spiritual Power, surging out from her Niwan Palace and spreading in every direction.

Though the pond water had the property of suppressing Spiritual Power, such vast and majestic Spiritual Power still easily enveloped the entire Taiqing Immortal Pond.

The fluctuations of the immortal pond appeared in her perception. Mu Zi's mind stirred slightly, and she discovered an abnormality somewhere at the bottom of the pond.

Mu Zi's gaze sharpened. Her long legs bent slightly, her Jade Foot tapped, and her snow-white Delicate Body swiftly swept through the water, arriving at the place of disturbance in an instant.

Focusing her eyes, she saw that at the bottom of the pond, a mass of emerald light like jade was blooming open. Within that light, a naked jade body like mutton-fat jade had its back to Mu Zi, unmoving.

"Qingzhu!"

Mu Zi cried out in alarm and hurriedly swam over. Yet when she came before Ling Qingzhu, she met the latter's perfectly composed eyes.

"You're here."

Ling Qingzhu's eyes opened, her expression calm. She was clearly awake.

Seeing that nothing had happened to her, Mu Zi let out a breath of relief. Then her gaze turned to the bottom of the pond beneath the emerald light, and she asked tentatively,

"Didn't you run into any accident?"

"Accident?"

Ling Qingzhu's eyes shifted. Looking at the lingering anxiety on Mu Zi's pretty face, the corners of her lips curved slightly, and her tone became teasing.

"Younger Sister, were you so flustered because you were worried about Older Sister?"

Mu Zi looked straight into Ling Qingzhu's eyes and gave a gentle nod, admitting it openly.

"Yes."

Ling Qingzhu met Mu Zi's clear eyes. Seeing the sincerity within them, she put away her teasing mood and answered the earlier question with a slightly more serious expression.

"After entering the pond earlier, I heard some voices calling to me, so I followed that guidance here and saw that skeleton."

Ling Qingzhu stretched out a slender finger and pointed toward the ground below. Mu Zi looked in that direction, but she saw no skeleton. Instead, she saw a pile of ashes at the bottom of the pond.

"That senior seemed to want to plunder my vitality, but she failed. In the end, her skeleton turned to ash."

Ling Qingzhu's tone was very calm, but one could imagine the danger behind it.

Mu Zi frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled as to how Ling Qingzhu had broken free of the skeleton's control. After all, in the original work, she had been completely powerless to resist.

But Mu Zi did not dwell on it too much. Ling Qingzhu being safe and sound was the best possible outcome.

"It's good that you're all right."

What Mu Zi did not know was that Ling Qingzhu had been able to escape that dangerous state because of her comprehension of the Supreme Induction Art. That vague connection with the Supreme had awakened Ling Qingzhu at the critical moment, allowing her to resist the skeleton's life-draining power with all her strength.

In the original work, Ling Qingzhu lost her purity in the tomb mansion. At this point, she had been in a state of confusion, so her cultivation of the Supreme Induction Art had naturally fallen into stagnation.

But the current Ling Qingzhu, through spending time with Mu Zi, had understood her own heart early on. She knew she should not suppress her nature, but follow her true heart and face her own emotions directly. In this way, by a twist of fate, she happened to conform to the state of mind required by the Supreme Induction Art, allowing Ling Qingzhu's comprehension of the Supreme to progress rapidly, far surpassing the same period in the original work.

"Right, I obtained this from the bottom of the pond."

Ling Qingzhu's eyes stirred, and an emerald circular sigil slowly surfaced on her smooth forehead. A powerful energy fluctuation spread out from it.

"A spirit seal. Congratulations!"

Mu Zi revealed a smile, sincerely congratulating Ling Qingzhu.

A treasure like a spirit seal was considered a very good opportunity even across the Tianxuan Continent. After Ling Qingzhu obtained the spirit seal, her cultivation speed would rise another level. Coupled with Huangpu Jing's assistance, her strength would also be much greater than it had been at the same period in the original work.

Buzz!

As the two women conversed, the energy of the emerald light mass seemed to run out and began gradually dissipating. Ling Qingzhu's completely bare, graceful figure was revealed at the bottom of the pond without any cover.

However, the one who could appreciate Ling Qingzhu's graceful jade body was not a man, so it did not provoke any intense reaction.

Mu Zi's gaze fell on Ling Qingzhu's naked body, but she did not feel embarrassed. It was perfectly normal for sisters to see each other's bodies.

At the bottom of the Taiqing Immortal Pond, two peerless beauties lay bare in honest openness, their perfect and flawless Delicate Bodies setting each other off, breathtakingly beautiful.

After they looked at each other for a while, Ling Qingzhu suddenly smiled brightly and grabbed Mu Zi's lotus-like arm.

"Younger Sister, chances like this are rare. Let's bathe together!"

Looking at Ling Qingzhu's charming smile, Mu Zi pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and accepted the invitation.

There had been too many troublesome matters lately. Whether it was the Otherworld Demon General beneath the Heavenly Flame Ancient Treasury or the Demon Emperor Qi leaking from the core formation, both were unimaginable crises to ordinary people.

After handling these matters one after another, Mu Zi also felt somewhat weary. It would not be bad to take this opportunity to relax a little.

The Heavenly Net Umbrella guarded outside the valley, and outsiders could not enter this place. There were only the two of them in the Taiqing Immortal Pond, so there was no need to worry about much.

"All right."

Seeing Mu Zi nod, Ling Qingzhu's brows and eyes curved gently, and an extremely subtle hint of joy appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"Let's go. We'll head up."

Ling Qingzhu took Mu Zi's small hand and led her upward. With a soft splash, the two beauties surfaced, and ripples spread across the pond.

After looking around, Ling Qingzhu found a shallow bank. Her jade legs moved in the water as she and Mu Zi approached it.

As the two women advanced, the pond water grew shallower and shallower. The waterline gradually dropped until it reached their waists, revealing their lovely jade bodies.

Beside the shallows, a huge piece of Cyan Rock jutted out. Half of it was submerged underwater, while the other half rose above the surface. The surface of the rock was smooth as jade, as though paved from cobblestones. Its platform slanted, and the entire massive rock was like a large cyan bed, quietly floating atop the dazzling, multicolored water.

The two arrived beside the Cyan Rock. The huge rock blocked their bodies from view. At this moment, even if someone broke through the Heavenly Net Umbrella's watch and successfully sneaked into the Taiqing Immortal Pond, they would not be able to see the two beauties bathing at first glance.

"Come, Younger Sister. I'll wash your body for you."

Ling Qingzhu and Mu Zi stood face-to-face. Her brows and eyes curved as she smiled sweetly.

Mu Zi looked ahead, somewhat dazed. Perhaps it was Ling Qingzhu's tone that made her think of Older Sister.

Seeing that Mu Zi did not refuse, Ling Qingzhu moved closer. Her slender jade hands lifted Mu Zi's long black hair and gently gathered it up, revealing her smooth jade back.

A few strands of hair had mischievously fallen onto that snow-white neck. Ling Qingzhu extended her slender fingers, deftly caught them, and gathered them behind Mu Zi's head.

Ling Qingzhu smiled softly and touched Mu Zi's smooth, jade-like spine. Her fair, slender little hand brushed over skin so delicate it seemed it might break with a breath. The flowing lines were like carefully carved contours, and the cool touch was like touching perfect jade, yet also like fine brocade, making one reluctant to let go.

Mu Zi's body was snow-white and delicate, suffused with a faint clear radiance, like skin condensed from moonlight, not something of the mortal realm.

Crystal water droplets clung to her skin, shining with seven-colored light, like gemstones adorning that flawless beauty.

"Younger Sister, does it feel good?"

Ling Qingzhu's fingers exerted slight force, pressing on Mu Zi's back and letting her body relax.

Seeing Mu Zi nod, the corners of Ling Qingzhu's mouth rose slightly. She leaned forward, her naked body pressing against Mu Zi's back, and raised her slender Jade Arm to hold Mu Zi's fair, fragrant shoulders, gently kneading them.

The feeling of skin touching skin made Ling Qingzhu's body tremble slightly, and a flush appeared on her refined cheeks.

Ling Qingzhu let out a soft breath and began massaging Mu Zi's body as though nothing were wrong.

It made Mu Zi's brows crease faintly.

However, Ling Qingzhu was immersed in that springy, smooth sensation and did not notice the emotion showing between Mu Zi's brows and eyes. Her fingers inadvertently slid down from Mu Zi's shoulders, touched her delicate collarbone, then stroked downward, reaching two soft masses.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Qingzhu's palms swept past and gently squeezed the proud jade peaks a few times. The force at her fingertips made Mu Zi's brows crease faintly.

However, Ling Qingzhu was immersed in that springy, smooth sensation and did not notice the emotion showing between Mu Zi's brows and eyes. She continued kneading on her own, that fullness which one hand could not fully grasp.

Ling Qingzhu felt the sensation in her hands, and the corners of her lips rose uncontrollably, a little proud in her heart.

Hmph~

Could that fellow Lin Dong do this now?

Splash, splash!

Mu Zi struggled slightly and broke free from Ling Qingzhu's embrace. With gentle Lotus Steps, she slowly walked to the Cyan Rock, turned around, and sat down on it. She looked at Ling Qingzhu calmly, a thoughtful glint flashing through her eyes.

By the edge of the Taiqing Immortal Pond, a beauty sat unclothed on the smooth Cyan Rock. The seven-colored pond water shone with dazzling light, reflecting upon her skin and casting back a brilliant halo that left one dazzled and entranced.

Straight, long legs; a slender waist that could be held in one hand; fair shoulders white as snow; and a head of black hair, wet and clinging behind her head, scattered by the pond water.

Her proud, round jade peaks and soft, graceful body gave off a faint fragrance that diffused through the pond water.

Beneath her round and pert hips, the multicolored water covered the roots of her thighs. Her slender calves were immersed below the surface, swaying gently with the current, and her snow-white, crystalline Jade Feet were like two swimming fish moving beneath the water.

Ling Qingzhu's eyes shifted as she looked at the figure on the Cyan Rock, strange light flickering in her gaze.

With light Lotus Steps, parting the water ripples, Ling Qingzhu walked forward and bent slightly, catching a pair of Jade Feet beneath the water and gently kneading them in her hands.

"Does it feel good?"

This time, she received no response. Ling Qingzhu did not think much of it either. She slowly loosened her hands, and the snow-white Jade Feet slipped from her palms, splashing up seven-colored water.

With a tap of her toes, Ling Qingzhu leaped lightly onto the Cyan Rock. Her jade body lay across it beside Mu Zi. She turned slightly onto her side and gazed at Mu Zi's delicate profile, a happy smile blooming on her face without her realizing it.

On the massive cyan rock, two beauties lay side by side. Three Thousand Black Silks fell from behind their heads, half immersed in the pond water. With only inches between them, a few strands of hair tangled together, and crystal droplets slid down the tips, stirring gentle ripples across the water's surface.

Ling Qingzhu lowered her head slightly. Her gaze lingered over Mu Zi's body, falling on that slender waist too delicate to fill one hand, and a Look of Amazement flashed through her eyes.

"Younger Sister, your figure is truly wonderful!"

Ling Qingzhu could not help but sigh in admiration, a slight fluctuation in her tone.

That graceful, curving Delicate Body was slender but not thin, soft yet not lacking a sense of strength, as if it were the most perfect work of art in the world. And now this work of art lay before her eyes, allowing her to admire it, fully exposed without the slightest concealment.

Such a beautiful body was enough to drive any man mad. Even though she was a woman, she could not help but feel her heart stir.

Ling Qingzhu extended her jade hand and placed it on that slender waist, moving slowly as she caressed skin as delicate as an infant's.

Arriving at the front, Ling Qingzhu's fair, slender fingers curled slightly. Her soft fingertips followed the smooth, flat lower abdomen, traveling all the way down, and down again.

Smack!

Just as Ling Qingzhu's hand was about to touch that hint of rosy softness, her snow-white Fair Wrist was suddenly gripped tightly by a slender palm, preventing her from continuing forward.

"You've gone too far!"

Ling Qingzhu raised her head and met Mu Zi's gaze, her eyes suddenly trembling.

Within those moving eyes, which should have been filled with rippling Autumn Water, there was now only cold frost.

The strange symbols were a helpless attempt and somewhat affected the reading experience, so apologies for that.
