Who Said I Couldn't Take It? This Is Enjoyment!
"Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"
"Ugh! You bastard! Let me go!"
"Let go, don't touch me, get out!"
"No... I give up..."
"I'll talk... I'll talk... Ugh!!!"
The following day, the morning light pierced through the curtains, scattering into dappled patterns on the jade bed in the hot spring center.
"Hmm..." Xiao Wu woke up first.
Her first thought upon opening her eyes was--
My whole body aches like I've been run over by a horse-drawn carriage!
She tried to move her arm, the marks from the ligature clearly visible, and then caught a glimpse of Hu Liena out of the corner of her eye.
The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall slept soundly.
He held most of the fox tail in his arms, drool still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Amidst the rising steam, two long, slender legs were crossed and draped over the edge of the bed.
The bell hung loosely on her ankle, swaying occasionally with her even breathing.
"Hmph," Xiao Wu snorted, "Stop pretending to be asleep!"
"Oh, you're awake?" Hu Liena was clearly woken up by her, still feeling drowsy and lazy.
But when she met Xiao Wu's gaze, that provocative air returned instantly, "How was last night? Want to do it again?"
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, deliberately flexing her wrists to make the knots rattle. "Is that all? This is all the prisoner-of-war camp games are made of!"
"I got through it with ease!"
"Oh?" Hu Liena raised an eyebrow. "That game was my idea, after all; some people couldn't even come up with it."
"You!" Xiao Wu raised her hand to slap her, but as soon as she moved, her waist ached so badly that she almost fell into the water. Fortunately, she managed to support herself with her other hand in time.
Hu Liena saw it clearly and immediately seized the opportunity to get up. "Tsk tsk, you're quite the tough one, but your body isn't so great—"
Snap!
Before she could finish speaking, the leather strap on her ankle snapped.
The bell slipped from the knot and rolled to Ye Hua's ear with a tinkling sound.
Ye Hua opened his eyes.
Hu Liena froze, her legs went weak, and she successfully tackled him.
The atmosphere gradually became subtle.
The moment Ye Hua opened his eyes, his gaze met those fair, still damp feet.
Her toes were slightly curled, the tips were pink, and there were still faint red marks on her ankles.
He reached out and picked up the bell first.
Then, she picked up the feathers from the bed.
Hu Liena was still lying face down on the bed when she realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
A feather gently brushes the soles of the feet.
Hahahaha!
"No, no!"
"Ye Hua, you bastard, hahaha--"
The laughter was exceptionally loud, startling the half-asleep girls.
"Ye Hua, let go—hahahaha!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Seeing her laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face, Ye Hua felt a feather twirl around her, moving from the sole of her foot to the side of her calf.
Hu Liena's laughter immediately changed, and she slapped the water haphazardly with both hands.
The splashing water drenched Wang Qiu'er's face!
"Ugh!" Wang Qiu'er wiped her face. "Who splashed me?"
"Nana!" Xiao Wu pointed at Hu Liena.
Without saying a word, Wang Qiu'er scooped up the water and splashed it back.
Hu Liena was already breathless from being tickled by the feathers, and to make matters worse, Ye Hua was holding her foot, so she couldn't dodge.
"You—!!!" She gritted her teeth, decided not to dodge, and retaliated by splashing water back at them.
A chaotic battle erupted in the pool!
Water splashed everywhere, and laughter mingled with screams!
This farce eventually lasted until the afternoon.
Ye Hua settled the girls in and let them go back to sleep.
But before he could rest for a while, he was disturbed by a knock on the door.
"Qilin! Qilin! Are you awake?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was filled with excitement.
Ye Hua opened the door and saw this million-year-old Soul Spirit, bouncing around with Soul Spirit Puppet on its head, looking like a silkworm that had been drinking fake alcohol.
"Come on! Follow me!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grabbed Ye Hua's wrist.
Seeing his excitement, Ye Hua didn't want to spoil the mood.
Finally, Ye Hua was dragged to the Three-Flavored Study, where it was bustling with activity.
Feng Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the chair, his Soul Power flowing around him, his aura calm and stable, clearly indicating that he had broken through to the Soul Emperor.
Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er also possessed imposing auras. Although they had not officially broken through, their auras Quasi-Soul Emperor had already solidified!
Familiar faces such as Shui Yue'er Shi Mo Shi Mo also sitting cross-legged, their Soul Power much stronger.
"Soul Emperor?" Ye Hua was somewhat surprised.
Feng Xiaotian cupped his hands in thanks, "Thanks to Teacher Ye!"
"These past two years of cultivation at the Three-Flavored Study have been incredibly efficient!"
Ye Hua then looked at the others; the auras of Shi Mo and Shi Mo were also around level fifty-seven.
Shui Yue'er caught up and reached level fifty-nine, probably because her older sister urged her on and she couldn't slack off.
"Where are Xiao Wu and the others?" Ye Hua wondered.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm crossed her arms and said, "Hmph, guess?"
"Level 66?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was stunned. "How did you guess that?!"
"Just a wild guess," Ye Hua shrugged.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no choice but to present it on a tray.
"Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Wang Qiu'er, your Soul Power is higher; you've reached level sixty-six."
"The others are slightly less skilled, but still around level sixty-four or sixty-five."
Ye Hua nodded. With Immortal Herb, Spirit Bone, and high-age Soul Ring, coupled with double the cultivation speed, it couldn't be bad!
However, without the aid of dual cultivation, their cultivation speed was somewhat slowed down.
"Where's the Sixth Soul Ring?"
"An 80,000-year- Soul Spirit," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm laughed. "I'll choose it myself!"
"Xiao Wu is Soft Bone Rabbit, Ning Rongrong is Nine-Colored Butterfly, and Zhu Zhuqing is Nether Valley Wolf... The absorption process went very smoothly."
"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Hua patted him on the shoulder.
This isn't just polite talk; with him gone, Brother Sky Dream is genuinely busy, and very busy indeed!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm waved her hand, "What's so hard about it? I know what I'm doing."
"Soul Spirit, this is the first time since the beginning of time, we are making history!"
Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "You? Isn't your Brother Sky Dream always lazy? When did you start caring about making a name for yourself in history?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was unusually serious, "I don't care about that stuff. But I understand that fame can get you more support!"
"This will help you become a god, and I will also achieve eternal life!"
Ye Hua chuckled and shook his head meaningfully, "Sometimes, being too famous is actually a problem."
"Huh?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was puzzled.
Ye Hua didn't explain, but just looked at Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
Huo Wu also looked up at the same time, and when her eyes met his, she pursed her lips.
"Do you need my help to obtain the Soul Spirit?" Ye Hua smiled.
He happened to have something to do and needed to travel to the Star Dou Forest and the Far North Forest, so obtaining Soul Spirit would be a convenient option.
"Is it okay?" Huo Wu's eyes lit up.
Although they trust the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ye Hua is powerful enough to help them obtain better Soul Spirit!
This is an opportunity I couldn't ask for!
"Who among you broke through to Quasi-Soul Emperor first?"
"Huo Wu!" Shui Bing'er took a half step back.
"Sister Bing'er," Huo Wu said shyly, "Actually, we broke through on the same day, so you can go first too."
Shui Bing'er shook her head, "You in the morning and I in the afternoon, it's different."
Huo Wu nodded, "Okay!"
"Once we've discussed it, let's get ready," Ye Hua said, glancing at the sky. "We'll set off tomorrow morning for the Star Dou Forest!"
"Okay!" Huo Wu nodded obediently.
Ye Hua went to the Star Dou Forest simply to see if that little sullen dragon had calmed down.
If you've calmed down, this is the perfect time to follow up!
As if following the principle of "no more than three times, "Ye Hua finally met Gu Yuena again when he came to the Core Area.
