In that instant, even Ma Xiaotao, who prided herself on having top-tier looks and a figure to match, felt her pupils contract to pinpoints and inwardly drew a sharp breath of cold air!
What an extraordinary vision she was!
Long silver hair, as dazzling and pure as the celestial river of the nine heavens, fell loosely around a waist as slender as a willow. As the breeze brushed past, the strands swayed gently, shimmering with a luster that intoxicated the heart.
Set in that breathtakingly beautiful, cool face, untouched by cosmetics and almost beyond the power of words to describe, were exquisite purple eyes as deep and noble as an endless starry sky.
Her beauty was so radiant, so cool and otherworldly, that all the spiritual grace and brilliance between heaven and earth seemed reduced to dull, common rouge and powder before this silver-haired girl!
There really is... a woman who looks like this in the world...
Ma Xiaotao murmured inwardly, somewhat dazed. Even as a fellow woman, she had to admit that her neighbor's beauty had reached a level that would make even gods turn their heads.
Once her amazement subsided, however, Ma Xiaotao discreetly swept her gaze over the girl's figure, and the competitive pride of a mature woman stirred within her again-
Although the other woman's figure was slender and aloof, its proportions as perfect as the golden ratio, when it came to swelling, ripe, alluring curves and a wild, voluptuous sensuality, her own body, tempered by blazing fire, clearly had the upper hand!
"Morning."
While Ma Xiaotao's thoughts raced, the silver-haired girl, who seemed to have stepped out of a painting of the nine heavens, glanced over with her purple eyes. Her thin lips parted, releasing a cool, sweet, captivating note untouched by the dust of the mortal world.
"Morning... good morning."
Ma Xiaotao came back to her senses and returned the greeting rather stiffly.
The silver-haired girl did not linger. She merely nodded slightly, then lightly tapped the ground with her slender, fair feet. Like a banished immortal unsullied by mortal dust, she became an elusive silver afterimage and drifted away. In just a few bounds, she vanished completely beyond the vast sea of bamboo.
Looking down the now-empty path through the Bamboo Grove, Ma Xiaotao shook her head regretfully and silently clicked her tongue:
Tsk... that little bastard could have left at any other time, but he just had to miss this sight. If he saw such world-toppling beauty living next door, his eyes would probably pop right out of his head!
But as she recalled the mysterious girl's abilities, the teasing look on Ma Xiaotao's face gradually faded into profound solemnity:
Gu Yuena... just where did she come from? I've heard she can unleash attacks of multiple attributes... she really is a terrifying monster whose depths cannot be fathomed...
Meanwhile.
With her robes fluttering and her long silver hair dancing wildly in the wind, Gu Yuena's noble purple dragon eyes showed, for once, a trace of bewilderment and the faintest ripple of emotion.
Just now... inside that room...
Gu Yuena raised her slender fingers, translucent as white jade, and gently pressed them against her flat chest. As she sensed the divine core dragon heart within her, dormant for countless ages yet now faintly quickening, an indescribably complex expression crossed her cool, exquisite face:
Following that mysterious stirring deep within my divine soul, I ventured alone into this filthy world of human soul masters...
My instincts told me I would meet someone who could truly change my destiny...
In the early morning, a thin mist shrouded the vast lake.
Cool vapor rose beneath the slanting rays of the morning sun, its hazy whiteness making the enormous lake resemble an immortal realm.
Yet the black-clad youth standing on the stone steps at its shore could not help twitching the corner of his mouth.
This Sea God Lake... is a little too wide.
Dongfang Hao gazed at the boundless blue waters and muttered inwardly in resignation.
When he had arrived last night, Cai Mei'er had carried him in her arms and flown swiftly through the air, reaching their destination in the blink of an eye. Now that he was traveling alone, he finally realized that, with his current cultivation, neither a Flying Soul Tool nor a bird-type martial soul at his disposal, crossing this lake to reach the Outer Court really was no small problem.
Ordinary soul masters might only gaze at the vast waters and sigh at their own helplessness, but for Dongfang Hao, blessed with extraordinary fortune, such mundane water hardly constituted an impassable natural barrier.
"If I don't have wings... then I'll just stamp out my own road to the heavens!"
At a thought from Dongfang Hao, the dormant mass of stark-white divine ice martial soul within the qi sea of his dantian roared into motion almost instantly!
Hiss!
An intensely freezing aura suddenly surged from beneath his feet!
In the next instant, the black-clad youth shot forward like a black streak, leaping straight toward the vast expanse of rolling waves!
Crack!
A crisp sound abruptly rang out across the water.
The instant Dongfang Hao's toes lightly touched the surface, the flowing lake water beneath his feet froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a moment, it became a slab of profound ice more than ten feet across!
Using the powerful rebound from the water's surface, Dongfang Hao moved with the vigorous grace of a dragon. His toes stamped down again, and he became a blurred black afterimage, skimming swiftly across the lake.
With every step he took, a deep-blue ice lotus a foot thick silently formed beneath his feet!
Bang!
Dull bursts of rushing air and shattering ice rang out one after another. Relying on the supremely domineering power of divine ice, the youth froze the water beneath his steps, forcibly stamping out a winding, miles-long heavenly road of ice crystals across the sparkling lake!
His course led straight toward the Outer Court's freshman dormitory area!
Meanwhile, within a bedroom in the Quiet Pavilion on Sea God Island.
"Mmm..."
On the brocade-covered bed, a beautiful mature woman in a plain white nightgown slowly opened her slightly hazy eyes.
Cai Mei'er extended her slender, fair arm and lazily rubbed her sleepy temples. Yet as the morning light shone through the gauze curtains onto her graceful, lovely face, the blush-inducing, intimate scenes of the previous night instantly surged through her mind like a tide!
Scalding heat suddenly rose from her heart. Almost instantly, Cai Mei'er's entire face and even her slender neck flushed so deeply they seemed ready to drip blood!
That little tormentor... he actually dared to nestle against my chest like that last night... and even said such outrageous, insolent things...
Cai Mei'er bit her lip, her mature, voluptuous body shifting slightly beneath the thin quilt. She felt a lingering weakness and tingling in every inch of her bones, stirred up by the youth's masculine presence.
But amid her embarrassment and annoyance, a flash of panic suddenly crossed Cai Mei'er's eyes.
"Oh no!"
"That little fellow took an entire piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue last night!"
"If that reckless boy couldn't restrain himself and swallowed such an overwhelmingly potent treasure of pure yang all by himself first thing this morning... what would we do?!"
Once the pure-yang flames of desire within the ten-thousand-year whale glue erupted, without a woman to balance his yin and yang, even the slightest misstep could leave his meridians completely severed and his body bursting apart in a gruesome death!
At that thought, how could Cai Mei'er still care about her usual dignity as vice dean?
She lightly tapped the ground with her foot, and her figure became a streak of light as she hurriedly shot out of the pavilion.
Yet amid the rushing wind as she flew through the air, waves of absurdity and bashfulness could not help stirring in the heart of this beautiful mature woman, who had guarded her chastity like jade for decades.
What if that little fellow really has swallowed it, and Xiaotao isn't with him, so he urgently needs me to save him?
