Hooray! It's a Hot Spring!

"Come with me, I've got something good to show you tonight!"

After passing through several corridors and turning past a bamboo grove, the view suddenly opened up before me.

A spacious hot spring pool came into view.

White mist rose from the water's surface, and wisps of steam rose gently.

The bottom of the pool is covered with smooth pebbles, and the edges are inlaid with warm-colored luminous stones.

Beside the hot spring pool, there were several plates of fresh fruit and wine glasses, clearly arranged with care.

"Brother, when did you do this?" Xiao Wu asked, her eyes wide.

"Of course it was planned for a long time, and I took the time to do it!"

Ye Hua remained completely calm and composed.

In fact, it was created in a single thought, with a wave of his hand.

Everything in the Crystal Palace changes according to his will.

"We've had a long day, how about soaking in a hot spring to relax?"

The entire room fell silent.

Zhu Zhuqing was the first to react, "I... I'm not used to it..."

"I won't either." Meng Yiran's ears turned red.

"I'll just go back to my room and rest!" Ye Lingling said, clutching the hem of her clothes.

"Hey! It's a hot spring!"

Thump!

Wang Qiu'er enters the water!

The splashing water soaked the girls' clothes.

"Wang! Qiu! Er!"

Ning Rongrong was furious.

Can't you tell this is Ye Hua's trap?!

Wang Qiu'er was still puzzled, "The hot springs are nice, why don't you come?"

Ning Rongrong put her hand to her forehead, "Qiu'er, this is bathing together!"

"Oh," Wang Qiu'er suddenly realized, "Didn't Ye Hua already see that?"

Sigh, this girl is hopeless...

Ning Rongrong was utterly speechless.

Did you see this before?

He's trying to take this opportunity to cause trouble for us!

"I'm going into the water first!"

Ye Hua removed his outer garments and plunged into the hot spring.

The water was up to his waist; he leaned against the edge of the pool and sighed contentedly.

"The water temperature is just right, it's up to you whether you come or not."

Those who hadn't yet gone down into the sewers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ye Hua just finished giving out gifts!

Wouldn't it be too disrespectful to them if we didn't go into the water?

I'm betting that Ye Hua is a gentleman and wouldn't take advantage of someone in distress!

Xiao Wu bit her lip as she watched Ye Hua's leisurely and carefree demeanor.

"I... I'll go first!"

She took off her coat, leaving only her undershirt, and quickly walked to the edge of the pool, testing the water temperature with her toes.

The warmth spread from the soles of her feet to her calves, making her squint her eyes in comfort.

"It's really good..."

It's often said that the broken windows theory applies: once it happens, it happens again, and once it happens again, it happens a third time.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then slowly entered the water.

The cat's tail was soaked in water, floating wetly on the surface.

Meng Yiran followed closely behind, while Ning Rongrong was not to be outdone.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged glances, then both undressed and entered the water.

As the hot water enveloped his body, the tension of the competition gradually eased.

Rose petals float on the water, a perfect reference to the Rose Hotel's decor.

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

Whoosh!

Wang Qiu'er broke the silence!

A colossal wave erupted in the hot spring!

Xiao Wu, who wanted to keep her hair dry, was instantly soaked to the bone.

"Qiu'er!" Xiao Wu snapped, throwing water in retaliation!

Zhu Zhuqing quietly opened her eyes, watched the two playfully bickering, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, her ankle was suddenly grabbed.

Zhu Zhuqing froze, her cat ears popping out!

With a gentle pull of his finger, Ye Hua caught Zhu Zhuqing off guard and caused her to fall into his arms.

Her full breasts pressed against Ye Hua's chest, and even her toes, in a panic, instinctively hooked onto Ye Hua's ankles.

"Um..."

"Brother Ye, you..."

"No, Xiao Wu and the others are still here!"

"It's alright," Ye Hua grinned mischievously, "They can't see it because of the flower petals."

"That won't work either... Ugh!"

Zhu Zhuqing blushed deeply, her hands pressed against Ye Hua's chest.

There's always a sense of tension and excitement when you're under the watchful eyes of others.

Even though I don't want to, this feeling is urging me on, and I'm starting to want to more and more!

Ye Hua held Zhu Zhuqing tightly as the water rippled.

Zhu Zhuqing dared not utter a sound and could only purse her lips.

Whenever ripples rise, they emit a soft murmur.

The ripples spread silently.

But the rippling water still attracted attention.

"Ye Hua," Ning Rongrong swam over, "What are you doing?"

Zhu Zhuqing panicked, "Ye Hua, let go of him!"

Ye Hua remained unmoved.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes filled with pleading.

But it was too late!

"You guys!" Ning Rongrong covered her mouth.

"Shh!" Ye Hua blinked.

"I didn't see anything!" Ning Rongrong tried to flee the battlefield.

Otherwise, if Ye Hua were to make a move, she would be the one to suffer!

As luck would have it, Ye Hua possesses the Yinglong Wings!

With a mere wave of his hand, the Water Element Authority was unleashed, and Ning Rongrong was brought to him.

Ning Rongrong still tried to struggle, "Let me go!"

But Ye Hua immediately changed his target to her.

Zhu Zhuqing felt relieved, but Ning Rongrong suffered.

Ye Hua's method worked every time; he sent Water Element one by one.

Finally, Xiao Wu and Wang Qiu'er, who were bickering and playing around, realized something was wrong!

In the middle of the hot spring, a bed appeared out of nowhere!

That's right, it's a bed!

There are blue stones under the bed, supporting the floating bed above the water!

The moisture remained undisturbed, and the sheets were still dry!

More importantly, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were all fast asleep in bed!

How did I fall asleep while soaking in the hot spring?!

Xiao Wu looked at Wang Qiu'er, and Wang Qiu'er looked at Xiao Wu, both of them bewildered.

Just then, two hands suddenly landed on their shoulders.

"Ah!!!"

Xiao Wu and Wang Qiu'er suddenly splashed water backward, soaking the newcomer to the bone!

"Elder brother?"

"Ye Hua?"

The two reacted quickly.

"Tell me, was this your doing?!"

Ye Hua spread his hands innocently, "Don't slander me! I'm a gentleman!"

"Well," Wang Qiu'er sniffed, "He confessed without being asked!"

"Only those with a guilty conscience call themselves gentlemen!"

"Fine," Ye Hua said with a half-smile, "Then I'm not a gentleman."

Wang Qiu'er swallowed hard. "Why don't you just be a gentleman?"

"That won't do!" Ye Hua shook his head. "Being a gentleman is too tiring."

"Remain unmoved by temptation, embrace the world with compassion and righteousness, continue the lost learning of the sages, and usher in an era of peace for all generations!"

"Being busy all day long, like a spinning top being whipped, is worse than being an ordinary person, greedy for money and lustful!"

That's it!

Wang Qiu'er closed her eyes.

She somewhat regretted going into the water.

I thought that with my sisters sharing the burden, I wouldn't be exhausted no matter what.

But now, she and Xiao Wu have to fight this battle alone!

Ye Hua pulled the two girls into his arms and swam towards the beds in the center of the hot spring...
