Jiang Ce was locked in a heated struggle while holding Liu Erlong.
Deep within the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, two forces—one blue and one red—surged silently.
"I didn't expect such an interesting group of little ones to come here," a cold, feminine voice echoed from the bottom of the spring. "To think they actually know how to use these immortal herbs to undergo metamorphosis."
"One with a martial soul fusion, and another with a brand-new Dragon King-level bloodline. Truly interesting."
The second voice was much heartier, its tone filled with undisguised appreciation.
Deep at the bottom of the spring, two massive, illusory dragon souls slowly coalesced.
They were Bingli and Huochi, the dragon souls that remained here after the fall of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
"The most special one should be that little fellow who can change his form at will; I can't see through what kind of soul beast he is at all."
"The most peculiar thing is that he can actually copy the abilities of others, even copying the martial souls of those three little ones."
The two dragon souls condensed within the spring water, transforming into two tall, slender figures.
Bingli wore a long ice-blue dress, her silver hair cascading down to her waist, her expression bone-chillingly cold.
Huochi was clad in a fiery-red combat outfit that tightly wrapped around her proud figure, her crimson hair surging like flames.
"That little girl, the Golden Holy Flame Dragon, clearly gained the potential for further metamorphosis after her martial soul fused into the Holy Flame Dragon King," Bingli remarked with a click of her tongue.
Huochi crossed her arms over her chest and let out a soft huff.
"That fellow who can shapeshift at will is far too unscrupulous. In broad daylight, right next to this Seat's spring—"
Before she could finish, her expression froze.
Within her perception, Jiang Ce, on the bank, was holding Liu Erlong like a child and, with a bold stride, stepped directly into the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Two black tentacles sprouted from his shoulders, plucking two Ice and Fire immortal herbs, stuffing them both into Liu Erlong's mouth, and immediately thereafter, he began the Ice and Fire tempering of the golden body while soaking in the spring.
The expressions of the two dragon souls turned to stone simultaneously.
Their dragon souls had been slumbering in the deepest part of this very spring since they fell—
In other words, this bastard was causing a ruckus right on top of them.
"!!!"
Blue veins popped on Huochi's ethereal, beautiful face, and flames surged violently around her body.
"Damn it! This guy—"
She instinctively wanted to rush up and teach this bastard a lesson.
"Huochi!" Bingli hurriedly grabbed her. "Calm down."
"Calm down? He is on top of me—"
Huochi pointed at Jiang Ce in the center of the spring, unable to finish her sentence.
She, a dignified Fire Dragon King, had never even touched a man's hand while she was alive, yet after death, she had to encounter such a thing in her own place of rest.
"He doesn't know we still have dragon souls remaining," Bingli advised. "Besides, the state they are in clearly shows they are tempering their physical bodies once more."
Huochi angrily shook her off, the flames of rage in her chest nearly erupting from her pupils.
"Forget it, out of sight, out of mind." With a cold face, she transformed into a streak of crimson light and sank into the dragon bones at the bottom of the spring.
Bingli's dragon soul phantom lingered for a moment, the corner of her mouth curling into an imperceptible smile, before she too transformed into a streak of ice-blue light and sank to the bottom.
The moment the aura of the two dragon souls completely faded, the corner of Jiang Ce's mouth twitched ever so slightly.
He was, of course, aware of what was slumbering beneath the spring.
Liu Erlong's martial soul evolution and the Golden Holy Flame Dragon had a certain chance of disturbing them.
Not to mention the appearance of two Golden Holy Flame Dragons and their fusion into the Holy Flame Dragon King.
The perception granted by the Holy Flame Dragon King had allowed him to capture those two extremely faint fluctuations of spiritual power.
Since the other party did not wish to reveal themselves yet, he was in no hurry.
He withdrew his focus and continued to hold Liu Erlong, tempering her Ice and Fire golden body in the spring.
On the bank, Ye Yingling and Medusa were hung from the rocks by ropes formed from black latex, both of them rolling their eyes in unison.
The next morning.
"Damn you, you villain, you always love to torment people."
"Tormenting the three of us all night long, not even sparing Medusa, who is half-human and half-snake—it's simply outrageous."
Liu Erlong pointed at Ye Yingling again, "And you—you're far too obedient."
Ye Yingling buried her burning face into her knees.
"How could she not be?" Jiang Ce patted Liu Erlong's firm backside. "Her martial soul is resolved, the family curse is lifted; why wouldn't she be obedient?"
Liu Erlong rolled her eyes and turned her gaze toward Medusa.
Medusa was in human form now, her long purple hair cascading over her shoulders, having been forced into this shape while in a symbiotic state.
Furthermore, Medusa's current appearance and figure were clearly modeled after Medusa Cailin from Battle Through the Heavens.
It was obvious that Jiang Ce had sculpted her according to his own preferences.
At the time, Jiang Ce had thought that if he could ever travel to the world of Battle Through the Heavens and capture the Queen Medusa there, then find her sister Die, he would have three snake queens.
After all, his idols had always been Xu Xian, Ning Caichen, and Dong Yong.
He was currently on par with Xu Xian, but if he could achieve his wish, he would surpass him.
"You really know how to play, don't you?" Liu Erlong clicked her tongue twice.
Medusa looked down at her long, slender legs, her expression complex.
She had originally been half-human and half-snake, far from achieving a true human form.
Yet, under the fusion state of the Venom symbiote, she had been forced to manifest this body.
She raised a hand to touch her face; this reconstructed face was slightly different from the cold, stunning features of her original snake-person form.
The hair that had once been formed from tiny snakes had also turned into soft, flowing red locks.
"What, are you dissatisfied?" Jiang Ce pulled her waist toward him.
"No."
Queen Medusa shook her head gently. Although this face was a limitation set by her master, she didn't mind; her body and soul already belonged to him anyway.
Her long legs were still trembling uncontrollably.
"What's wrong? Who was it that told me to do as I pleased last night? Heh heh heh heh?"
Jiang Ce's large hand landed a crisp slap on Liu Erlong's backside.
"You were just too ruthless," Liu Erlong complained, clutching her stomach.
"You made me eat those two immortal herbs and jump into the spring to temper my body with ice and fire, and you actually tempered yourself along with me?"
"A normal person would have had their intestines rotted through by now."
"Damn it, I don't even need to defecate anymore living with you." Liu Erlong rolled her eyes.
"Senior Sister, that's a bit too vulgar," Ye Yingling said, quickly tugging on her arm.
"What's vulgar? This guy loves to see it." Liu Erlong waved her hand dismissively, then abruptly changed the subject.
"Don't forget the wild things you were shouting last night. You really are a 'filial' daughter—calling out 'Daddy'—"
Before she could finish, Ye Yingling turned bright red with shame and lunged forward, covering Liu Erlong's mouth tightly.
"Senior Sister, stop talking!"
Jiang Ce clapped his hands, drawing the three women's attention back to himself.
"Alright, get ready. We're going to hunt for your soul rings and continue your advancement."
Since the tempering was complete, it was time for the next step.
While they were having fun last night, he had taken the opportunity to put all three women through the Ice and Fire Body Tempering.
There were only two sets of the Ice and Fire herbs, which he gave to Liu Erlong and Ye Yingling, but Medusa hadn't been left out—
He had simply thrown her into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper her in the most primitive way possible.
That spring water could corrode even a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but Jiang Ce had utilized the neutralizing energy absorbed during the two tempering sessions of Liu Erlong and Ye Yingling.
He had long since replicated the ability to counteract the erosion of the ice and fire.
Besides, if Medusa couldn't hold on, Jiang Ce would just hit her with a super-healing spell.
Even without the immortal herbs, he had forced Queen Medusa into the state of Ice and Fire Body Tempering.
It was just that this had filled the two dragon souls at the bottom of the spring with immense resentment, especially when Medusa lost control in her agony and peed into the spring more than once.
If Bingli hadn't held Huochi back, someone would have been dragged to the bottom of the spring by the Fire Dragon King last night to be taught a lesson.
The pristine Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been turned into a urinal by the three women!
"Finally, we can go out and get our soul rings."
Liu Erlong was full of excitement and jumped up.
As she jumped, other things jumped along with her.
Each bounced in its own way, a truly pleasing sight.
"Naturally."
Immediately after, The three bare women were covered once again, the black venomous latex suits tightly wrapping around their voluptuous bodies.
"Medusa, you stay here and guard the base well."
"Yes, Master."
Medusa nodded respectfully toward Jiang Ce.
This was her home to begin with, and that was even more true now that she had received so many gifts from her master.
It was only right for her to protect this place.
