The Qingqiu Fox Clan's hot spring.
When Li Ye and Su Ya arrived, they found a pool of pink water scattered with pale pink peach blossom petals.
Steam rose from the water, carrying a peculiar, rich fragrance.
Several fox clan statues stood nearby, and the spring water spouted from the mouth of one of them.
It looked rather nice.
It was just that this pink water...
"I never expected the Qingqiu Fox Clan to have preserved the blood aura of old to this day."
Su Ya had already changed into clothes for soaking in the spring. Smiling, he beckoned Li Ye over.
"Legend says that when the ancestor of the Qingqiu Foxes was injured, their blood flowed into a spirit spring and dyed it this color."
Li Ye blinked.
Wasn't that simply dilution? So pink here actually represented blood?
As he walked forward, he asked, "I've also seen several junior sisters wearing pink dresses. So they were actually this valiant."
"..."
Su Ya gave Li Ye several strange looks.
"Don't say that in front of your junior sisters or senior sisters. This color does not have only one interpretation. Pink simply looks nice."
He scooped up a handful of water and let it fall gently.
Within the rising mist, the steam refracted dreamlike pink halos of light.
Li Ye had entered the hot spring by then. The water seemed almost sentient as it gently washed over his skin, sending some of its fragrant warmth into his meridians.
Once he immersed himself completely, the slightly scalding temperature made Li Ye groan. "This hot spring is truly comfortable. I want to make one in my cave dwelling too."
For so long, he had only heated ordinary spirit water for baths. How had he forgotten to make a hot spring in his cave
