Xiao Dong stepped to the edge of the pool, and under the trio's nervous and uneasy gazes, he gently drew a drop of emerald-green spirit liquid, like pure jade, from the jade bottle, before flicking his finger.
"Drip."
The spirit liquid fell into the pool water, making an extremely crisp sound.
The next instant, the entire pool of warm water violently boiled and churned. The originally crystal-clear water was dyed into a translucent, rich emerald green at a speed visible to the naked eye!
A vast and heart-palpitating aura of thick life, accompanied by a refreshing and ultra-pure medicinal fragrance, swept out into the air like a mist of medicine. Taking a single breath caused the meridians all over the three girls' bodies to tremble faintly!
"Alright, the spirit liquid is ready. Take off your clothes and get in quickly."
Xiao Dong turned around, folding his arms across his chest as he cast a lingering, amused look at the three peerless maidens standing by the edge of the pool, urging them with a half-smile.
Yet, faced with his urging, the three girls remained tense and stiff in place, their faces so red they were practically dripping blood.
"You... you big pervert, what are you still standing around here for?!"
Wu Feng tightly shielded her chest with both hands, her beautiful eyes spitting fire as she bit her lip and shouted in a shamed, exasperated low voice, "How are we supposed to take off our clothes and get in the water while you're standing here watching?!"
Beside her, Ning Tian and Xiao Xiao were likewise too ashamed to even lift their heads. Their little hands had nowhere to rest, and their lovely eyes brimmed with a watery look of entreaty, utterly pitiful.
"Tsk, what truly troublesome little lasses."
Xiao Dong let out an amused chuckle and shook his head, a playful and teasing arc lifting the corner of his mouth as he waved his hand dismissively. "Fine, fine. This young master has always been exceedingly magnanimous. I'll go outside and not look at you."
With that, the black-robed youth didn't linger. Sticking his hands in his pockets, he turned leisurely, pushed open the door, and walked out-thoughtfully pulling the heavy solid-wood door tightly shut behind him.
"Hah..."
Accompanied by the closing of the door and the fading sound of the youth's footsteps, the three girls inside the bathroom finally let out a long breath of orchid-scented turbid air, as if a great burden had been lifted.
Yet, after thoroughly releasing their tension, the atmosphere inside the bathroom instantly grew even more bizarre and bashful.
Rich, warm medicinal mist drifted all around. The three peerless women of distinct appearances gazed at one another, their pretty faces-already flushed-now burning as hot as boiling water.
Even though that scoundrel had left, right now... the three of them were going to completely bare themselves and face one another in total sincerity within this very same bathing pool!
"Y-Young Sect Master, do we really have to strip?" Wu Feng nervously kneaded her short leather skirt. Her usual arrogant and fearless demeanor had long since vanished, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzzing.
Ning Tian took a deep breath. Her delicate and exquisite cheeks were flushed with an alluring crimson, but a resolute gleam lay deep within her gaze as she lightly bit her lower lip. "We've already reached this point; is there any turning back now?"
Seeing this, Wu Feng-whose nature had always been fiery and bold-felt that wild, unruly streak surge fiercely back into her heart after her initial bashfulness, and she viciously bit her silver teeth.
"Strip it is! We're all women anyway, what's there to be afraid of?!"
As her voice fell, Wu Feng's slender, fair jade hands finally reached for the collar of her top. The soft sound of fabric friction sounded exceptionally clear and grating in the silent bathroom.
A form-fitting red short leather armor slipped down in response, followed closely by the extremely brief black leather skirt.
A tall, exquisite figure radiating ultimate wildness and mature tension was thus left bare without reservation amidst the water vapor.
Her taut skin was smooth and delicate; two fascinating, deep, and clear mermaid lines traced her lower abdomen. The pair of exaggeratedly massive, snowy, and plump mounds on her chest lost their restraint, heavily swaying into a breath-taking wave of milky-white flesh. Her straight, rounded, and flawlessly toned slender legs outlined a perfect curve capable of driving any man wild.
Her pretty face burning hot, Wu Feng didn't dare glance at Ning Tian. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward on her alluring, slender legs and slipped into the warm, emerald pool water with a plop, letting out a soft, comfortable moan of pleasure.
Seeing Wu Feng take the lead, the youngest, Xiao Xiao, closed her eyes tightly in embarrassment, her small hands trembling as she undid the ties of her light-green short skirt.
Her outer robe slipped off, followed by the shyly discarded undergarment embroidered with a cute strawberry pattern.
A flawless young maiden's figure emerged-as tender and delicate as a freshly peeled scallion. Though still retaining a touch of greenness, her tender, cream-like snowy skin and slender waist exuded a soul-piercing, innocent allure. Clasping her hands tightly over the slightly raised, newly ripened mounds on her chest, Xiao Xiao let out a cute cry and zipped swiftly into the depths of the pool, leaving only a pair of bashfully red eyes and two wet, dark-green twin tails floating on the surface.
Ning Tian, who remained last, stood quietly by the edge of the pool. Her crystal-jade face had long since reddened all the way to her earlobes.
The young maiden trembled as she stretched out her scallion-like fingers and undid the sash at her waist. That luxurious and dignified cyan brocade robe slid quietly down her fair, smooth shoulders to the ground.
Underneath, she wore merely a single, thin, cicada-wing-like light-pink silk undergarment. The nearly translucent gauze clung to her full, upright, snowy peaks, heaving violently with her rapid breaths and revealing an earth-shattering expanse of creamy springtime allure.
A breeze whipped up the medicinal mist as Ning Tian gently slipped off her final pink undergarment, leaving her entirely exposed to the air.
Her entire form was as white and smooth as top-tier warm jade, without the slightest blemish. Beneath her slender, elegant swan-like neck lay a dizzying expanse of supreme curves. Her soft waist was too slender to span with a single grasp, and further down lay the rounded, taut contours of a charming peach. Noble gentleness and ultimate temptation blended together perfectly at that moment.
Ning Tian bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, finally setting those slender, straight, snowy jade legs into motion. Treading upon the rippling, warm, emerald water, she slowly sank step by step into the bathing pool...
Outside the closed, heavy solid-wood doors, a breeze stirred the fallen leaves in the courtyard, rustling softly.
Xiao Dong stood with his hands tucked into the pockets of his black robe, leaning sideways against the vermilion wooden pillar of the corridor, a trace of a slightly sinister, playful arc tugging at the corner of his lips.
Deep within his pitch-black eyes, dazzling dark-red light quietly swirled like a flame.
X-Ray Vision, instantly activated!
The thick solid-wood doors and the rolling, warm medicinal vapor filling the bathroom were easily pierced and torn apart in Xiao Dong's field of vision as if they were a thin layer of gauze.
The pool water was as emerald as jade. Amidst the rippling waves, three unclothed, exquisitely shaped young maidens of distinct charms were reflected without the slightest cover right into the depths of Xiao Dong's gaze.
"Tsk tsk, such springtime scenery is truly a peerless sight in the mortal world..."
Xiao Dong audibly swept his gaze across the three girls' undefended, graceful private areas for a brief moment, watching the blood in his body surge turbulently before finally blinking his eyes with satisfaction and quietly withdrawing the perspective divine ability.
Once he pulled back his gaze, Xiao Dong's expression swiftly returned to its habitual composure and calm.
"Since the medicinal water to firmly lay their foundation has already been prepared, next, it's this young master's turn..."
Xiao Dong murmured inwardly, his fists clenching slightly as he felt the full, turbulent Soul Power flowing within him like a churning river.
At present, having successively absorbed the soul rings of several ten-thousand-year soul beasts, his own cultivation had steadily halted precisely at the fifty-third-rank Soul King tier.
While such cultivation speed would be considered a shocking miracle to the outside world, Xiao Dong knew very well in his heart that only by rapidly breaking through the great barrier of rank sixty could he shatter the next shackle and unlock the even more terrifying Dou Emperor inheritance within the Xiao Yan Inheritance!
Yet, crossing the enormous chasm of seven whole ranks-if he were to cultivate bitterly by absorbing heaven and earth soul power in an ordinary fashion-would consume a considerable amount of time, even with his aptitude.
Therefore, he could only rely upon the power of the Pill Dao!
"Peak Tier 4, Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill!"
Brilliant light surged in the depths of Xiao Dong's eyes as the complex medicinal formula of Tier 4 Alchemy flashed rapidly across his mind.
This pill enjoyed a massive reputation on the Dou Qi Continent, specially used for breaking through bottlenecks and crossing ranks. Ordinary people who consumed it could break through several ranks consecutively, but its harshest requirement was that refining it necessitated utilizing three formidable, fiercely distinct attributes of Heavenly Flames or Beast Flames to respectively brand a circle of Pill Pattern upon the surface of the medicine. Each additional pill pattern would double the medicinal efficacy and quality of the pill!
Mediocre Tier 3 and Tier 4 alchemists often failed to find multiple beast flames of varied attributes, forcing them to brew flawed pills bearing merely one or two patterns.
