A Garden Full of Spring

Gu Fang emerged from his cultivation state, and his soul power immediately spread out from his body.

With Heaven Realm soul power, the hidden emotions and life auras of every living thing around him were all reflected in his mind!

He even had an illusion...

That everything around him was under his control!

As Gu Fang sensed his surroundings, he could not help thinking of when he had refined the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill yesterday. It had been like this then as well...

Gu Fang could even sense the internal changes within every medicinal herb, and could even bestow different moods and emotions upon them.

Spirit Realm, Heaven Realm...

Only one step apart, yet worlds apart!

"If Heaven Realm soul power were used in battle, it probably wouldn't be a problem even against ordinary Dou Zongs or even Dou Zuns, would it?"

Gu Fang muttered, "It's just a pity...

The soul is too fragile. It can only crush enemies weaker than oneself, but against powerful enemies, it is difficult for it to be effective!"

Although Heaven Realm souls had already surpassed the soul realms of Dou Zongs and even most Dou Zuns...

The power soul force could exert did not depend solely on one's soul realm; it was also related to one's own strength!

It could be understood this way: soul force was a commander. It sensed everything around it, and as one's soul realm increased, its perception became ever stronger,

allowing one to better judge the situation and make use of everything in the surroundings that could be used!

One's own strength, meanwhile, was like a layer of armor enveloping the soul force. That armor included one's understanding of the rules around them and their understanding of a particular realm.

In battle, soul force controlled that armor of personal strength to create attacking power.

The two complemented each other.

Just like when Old Yao unleashed his strength, using the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and Dou Qi as support.

Even those Hall of Souls Guardians, though they were soul bodies themselves, mostly still used Dou Qi-based attacks.

That was why...

Only powerful soul force combined with powerful personal strength and an understanding of the rules could unleash great strength!

If one only had soul force without great strength, they could still use certain methods, such as soul techniques, to unleash power beyond their level.

But if attacking in that manner, especially against someone whose Dou Qi strength exceeded one's own,

it was no problem to achieve results, but...

It was extremely easy to damage the soul.

And the soul was the foundation of a person. If it was injured, the consequences were exceedingly complicated.

At best, one's future would be ruined, and their strength would never advance again.

At worst, their true spirit would dissipate, their power would collapse, and they would spend the rest of their life mad!

These were the reasons why, despite Gu Fang's soul force having reached the Heaven Realm, he rarely used it in battle!

Gu Fang did not want to ruin his bright future through a moment of carelessness.

Of course, there was another reason...

That was,

with Ling Wu, a Peak Dou Huang, by his side, Gu Fang had no situations where he needed to risk his life.

"Let's go. No need to think about it for now!"

Gu Fang shook his head and spread out his senses. When he sensed the two auras outside the room, he froze for a moment, then recalled what had happened last night.

"That's not right. Why hasn't Ya Fei gone back?"

As he spoke, Gu Fang pushed open the door and poked his head out to look!

He saw two exquisite beauties lying on the bed. Whether it was Zhan Xue or Ya Fei who slept restlessly, the quilt that should have covered them had been kicked aside,

and the two women were tightly embracing each other.

Looking at the dazzling sight on the bed, Gu Fang could not help swallowing.

Ya Fei and Zhan Xue were dressed exceptionally lightly, with most of their skin left uncovered.

Zhan Xue was curled up like a kitten, while Ya Fei's long leg lay draped across her.

"Gulp!"

Gu Fang swallowed, wanting to force his gaze away, but the bodies of Ya Fei and Zhan Xue were like magnets, firmly gripping his eyes.

No matter how hard Gu Fang tried, he could not shift his gaze in the slightest!

A graceful lady was the ideal match for a gentleman.

But at this moment, Gu Fang only wanted to be a lecher, plunging directly into this tender paradise.

"Come on!"

He extended his arm, then slowly moved little by little toward the edge of the bed.

As he drew nearer, with Gu Fang's exceptional perception,

he could already hear the faint breathing of Ya Fei and Zhan Xue.

Reaching the bedside, Gu Fang bent down and extended his hand, placing it upon...

the brocade quilt that had fallen to the floor!

With a slight exertion of force, the quilt draped over his arm. He then lifted it high and covered the two women with it.

Perhaps because of the weight of the quilt, the two women simultaneously let out a soft "Mm."

At that sound, Gu Fang's heart thumped fiercely, and he secretly called them little temptresses.

Then he stepped back.

But Gu Fang did not notice that just as he retreated, Ya Fei's tightly shut eyes suddenly trembled!

"Haa..."

Gu Fang let out a heavy breath and circulated his Dou Qi to suppress the amorous thoughts in his heart.

It was true that a graceful lady was the ideal match for a gentleman, but there was also a saying: a gentleman acquires wealth by proper means!

The same applied to women...

Gu Fang was capable of taking advantage of someone's vulnerability, but he did not wish to.

Thinking about it carefully, with Gu Fang's current family background, if he truly wanted everyone to share one bed, he would not even need to leave the Ancient Realm.

He would only need to give the word!

He could casually dispatch a squad of the Black Annihilation Army to seize them all!

Not to mention Ya Fei—even Queen Medusa would be no different!

They would not have the slightest ability to resist.

Gu Fang had not done that back then, so naturally he would not take advantage of someone's vulnerability now.

"Let them keep sleeping!"

Gu Fang looked at the two women on the bed and spoke softly.

It had already been late when he brought Zhan Xue back last night. Then Ya Fei had helped clean her up, and perhaps even comforted her for a while...

There was no telling when they had finally fallen asleep.

Besides...

There was no need to wake them.

With that thought, he gave them one last look, gently opened the door, and stepped outside. Yet what Gu Fang did not notice was...

that at the very instant he closed the door,

Ya Fei, whose eyes had been tightly shut on the bed, immediately opened them. There was none of the confusion of someone who had just awakened in her eyes; instead, they held contemplation.

In truth, Ya Fei...

had awakened the moment Gu Fang laid down the quilt!

But Ya Fei had not opened her eyes then, continuing to maintain that state. As a core member of the Miteer Clan, though she was not part of the combat branch,

her vigilance was still quite good.

Not to mention that the way Gu Fang had covered them with the quilt had been so "rough."

Ya Fei placed her hand on Zhan Xue's back and gently stroked it. After doing so twice, in one sudden motion, Ya Fei extended her arm

and rested it over her own face.

Looking at the faint light outside the window, a figure slowly emerged in Ya Fei's imagination. A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "What an interesting little fellow. But...

does this older sister truly have no charm at all?

He didn't even dare take another look?

Or does he have the desire but not the courage?"

As she murmured softly, the unease and resentment from late last night once again rose in her heart, and for a moment...

a trace of confusion appeared in Ya Fei's eyes.

After a long, long while...

Ya Fei turned over her hand, feeling the faint chill on the back of it, then shook her head and chuckled softly.

She then tugged the brocade quilt over herself, slipped beneath it, and closed her eyes!
