Hearing Xiu'er's words, Yang Zhen was taken aback and turned to ask, "Why do we need to wear clothes? Don't we take our clothes off when we take a bath? You guys are so unhygienic!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes twitched, but upon reflection, it was indeed true. Who in the world would take a bath while dressed?
But... how can cultivating in the Heavenly Mandate Spring be compared to taking a bath?
Mo Tianya snorted coldly and said, " Yang Zhen, don't you dare act recklessly. There are so many cultivators here; how can you be allowed to run wild?"
"How could he have acted so recklessly?" Yang Zhen curled his lip. This bastard had been acting strangely from the beginning; he might have secretly castrated himself long ago.
"You..." Mo Tianya's expression froze, then he said disdainfully, "I'd like to see how long you can last in the Heavenly Mandate Spring."
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "This 'Sage of Saunter of Flirting' is known for his unwavering persistence and longevity, so you don't need to worry about him."
After saying that, Yang Zhen turned to Spirit Maiden Hongluan and asked, "How do I activate this thing?"
Seeing that Yang Zhen Yang Zhen only wearing his underwear, the Spirit Maiden Hongluan, fearing he might take it off again, hurriedly said, "You only need to hold the Golden Life Orb to enter the Heavenly Mandate Spring."
"That's easy!" Yang Zhen was taken aback, then called to the Shameless Cat, saying, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go downstairs."
The Shameless Cat had been wanting to take a nice, long bath inside. Upon hearing this, it hurriedly took out a Golden Life Orb, leaned close to Yang Zhen, and asked with a curious look, "Did you really castrate yourself?"
"Castrate your sister!" Yang Zhen kicked the Shameless Cat away.
Upon entering the Heavenly Mandate Spring, Yang Zhen felt a peculiar power enveloping him. He comfortably found a spot to half-lie down and began to rub the mud.
Everyone watched with bated breath, but since Yang Zhen had already entered the Heavenly Mandate Spring, they dared not delay and hurriedly chose a place to begin cultivating.
Xiu'er glared at Yang Zhen, looking unwilling, but she didn't stray too far from Yang Zhen. Instead, she began to cultivate in a spot next to Yang Zhen where there was abundant energy.
After a moment's hesitation, Spirit Maiden Hongluan sat cross-legged next to Yang Zhen, and soon a special power fluctuation emanated from her body.
Yang Zhen glanced at Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming and asked, "Are you both alright with your injuries?"
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming exchanged a glance upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "It's alright!"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "That's good. You two stay away from me."
The two were taken aback, glanced at Spirit Maiden Hongluan and Xiu'er, and asked in unison, "Why should we stay away from you?"
You can have two women standing so close to you, but we can't?
Yang Zhen glanced at the two of them and said, "Is it okay if you two are ugly?"
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming looked at each other in bewilderment, while Xiu'er giggled incessantly beside them.
The Spirit Maiden Hongluan couldn't help but chuckle as she explained, "If you get too close, given your cultivation speeds, we might slow you down."
These words made Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming even more embarrassed.
But looking at Spirit Maiden Hongluan and Xiu'er, and then at Yang Zhen and Shameless Cat, those two devils, the two obediently left a distance.
With the talents of everyone present, even in the Heavenly Mandate Spring, once they started cultivating at full speed, they would form an energy circle that would attract all the surrounding energy, creating a vacuum zone. It's just that the size of the cultivation zone would vary depending on the individual's talent.
Yang Zhen looked at Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming with a half-smile, about to speak, when suddenly his brows furrowed.
Mo Tianya, seemingly lost in thought, suddenly walked over and said to Yang Zhen, "Brother Yang, I wonder if I can cultivate here? I suddenly really like this place."
Upon hearing Mo Tianya's words, some of the surrounding cultivators were taken aback, and some even changed their expressions, slowly walking to the side.
With Mo Tianya, this prodigy, around, not only is Yang Zhen doomed, but everyone around him will also be affected.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with schadenfreude. Yang Zhen had really stolen the show just now, becoming the focus of the entire audience. Now that he was being targeted by Mo Tianya, his fate was sure to be miserable.
Almost instantly, Yang Zhen and Mo Tianya were surrounded by nothing but Spirit Maiden Hongluan and Xiu'er.
The Spirit Maiden Hongluan's expression darkened as she looked at Mo Tianya and said, " Mo Tianya, do you really intend to do this?"
With Mo Tianya's strength, he would be the fastest cultivator anywhere. It's just that wherever he goes, others instinctively avoid that spot.
Now, Mo Tianya has deliberately chosen Yang Zhen's location, and his reason is that he suddenly likes this place. It's such an obvious targeting that even a fool could see it.
Hearing Spirit Maiden Hongluan's words, Mo Tianya chuckled and said, "This place has a nice environment. I imagine Brother Yang likes it very much. Otherwise, he could have gone somewhere else, wouldn't you say, Brother Yang?"
Xiu'er glared and was about to stand up when Spirit Maiden Hongluan back down to sit.
Yang Zhen looked at Mo Tianya with surprise, and asked with a strange expression, "Are you sure you want to stay here?"
Everyone was stunned by the expression on Yang Zhen's face, clearly not expecting Yang Zhen to react in this way.
Even Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming were taken aback. Given Yang Zhen's temperament, he would probably have been furious and even started a fight in this situation. Who would have thought that he only looked a little strange, not angry at all, but even... happy?
That's a bit strange.
Mo Tianya looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion and uncertainty, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face. Seeing the stunned gazes around him, he couldn't very well say no now. He gave Yang Zhen a meaningful look and said, "Yes!"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, put his arm around Mo Tianya's shoulder, and said, "That's great, brother. This Sage of Saunter has long since discovered that you are no ordinary person. We hit it off immediately and found ourselves very compatible."
Mo Tianya looked completely bewildered, clearly confused by Yang Zhen's unpredictable actions. He stared at Yang Zhen with a strange expression and asked, "You... what do you want to do?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Don't you understand what I want to do? Then what are you doing here? Never mind, this is probably your first time doing something like this. Don't be shy, we can take it slow."
The surrounding crowd was stunned, staring blankly at Yang Zhen with expressions that were as strange as could be.
The Spirit Maiden Hongluan chuckled, looking at Yang Zhen with an expression that said, "I knew it."
Given Yang Zhen's personality, she's not someone who can be so easily manipulated.
Xiu'er was completely confused and looked at Yang Zhen and Mo Tianya strangely.
For some reason, Mo Tianya suddenly felt like turning around and leaving, but how could he show any fear at a time like this? He gritted his teeth and said to Yang Zhen, "What exactly do you want?"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yang Zhen suddenly turned around and said, "Scrubbing my back, huh? Weren't you going to scrub my back?"
Pfft!
Even the valiant and unsmiling Spirit Maiden Hongluan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The others looked at each other, then burst into laughter, unable to contain themselves.
Mo Tianya's face turned ashen. He shook off Yang Zhen's hand, too angry to speak, and simply sat down on the ground. He gave Yang Zhen a sinister look and said, "Wishful thinking. If I were you, I would give the Golden Life Orb to someone else."
Yang Zhen looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Mo Tianya laughed loudly, then pointed at Yang Zhen and said in a sinister tone, "Because from now on, you will not receive any energy from the Heavenly Mandate Spring!"
boom--!
A deep hum resounded, and a massive energy vortex formed in the Heavenly Mandate Spring, centered on Mo Tianya. Almost all the energy around the Heavenly Mandate Spring was absorbed and refined by him.
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped, staring at Yang Zhen in horror.
In this way, Yang Zhen would indeed be unable to cultivate unless he went somewhere else and Mo Tianya did not go with him.
But given the current situation, would Mo Tianya let Yang Zhen go?
