The female disciples exchanged a look, before nodding as they withdrew.
Now that it was peaceful again, Li Qingchan lifted her head and sighed. Her slender fingers clenched into fists, clearly still slightly upset inside. After all, she had been preparing for a long time.
With a gently push, her figure seemed to float down the cliff, landing beside a hot spring within the valley. This place was off limits to everyone else but herself, and even the Snow Lotus Peak disciples she had allowed into the valley could not enter.
Li Qingchan gently undid the sash on her waist, causing the white skirt to slip down to the ground. Under the faint sunlight, an exquisite figure in inner garments was revealed.
A neck as slender as a swan leading to a set of elegant collarbones and two towering soft mounds. Her tiny slender waist made one unable to resist wrapping an arm around it, while her long legs were astonishingly sleek and slim. Even another girl would find her heart beating a little harder at the sight of such an amazing figure.
The erotic sight made the entire valley appear brighter.
Li Qingchan gently stepped into the hot spring, soaking her body in its warm waters. Her red lips rose slightly in delight, as her usually frosty face softened.
“Ahh…”
A body glowing with youthfulness was masked only by the light reflection off the water. Li Qingchan’s fine black hair sprawled across the surface of the spring as she leaned against its sides, her lovely body completely relaxed.
Li Qingchan slowly said, “Kong Sheng, Ye Ge… I’ll make sure to settle this debt with you guys in the future.”
Her eyes slowly closed, enjoying every moment of comfort.
The valley was exceptionally silent and peaceful, only the sound of the flowing breeze to be heard.
In the hot spring, the goddess seemed to fall into a deep sleep, painting the gorgeous sight of a sleeping beauty that could cause the downfall of nations.
Glop.
The silence lasted for a long time, until a certain moment came where the surface of the spring seemed to ripple for an instant.
Li Qingchan’s long eyelashes trembled faintly as she somewhat lazily opened her eyes. Likely because she had just woken up, her response was much slower than usual as she dazedly stared at the ripples on the water in front of her.
Plop!
The ripples grew bigger and bigger, before the water surface was suddenly torn open as a figure jumped out.
“Phew… I’m out at least!”
A voice sounded as the figure wiped away the water on its face, before beginning to scan its surroundings, while a little creature lazily lay on its shoulder.
It was obviously Zhou Yuan and Tuntun.
Zhou Yuan’s gaze curiously swept around, but immediately froze a split second later as his eyes gradually widened.
He had caught sight of the gorgeous figure in the spring.
The gazes of the two met, both somewhat dazed.
Li Qingchan was stunned, unable to stop herself from rubbing her eyes. The scene before was so shocking that she was unable to process it for the moment.
It was also at this moment that Zhou Yuan saw her beautiful face.
It was as if a bomb had gone off his head, instantly numbing his scalp.
Li Qingchan!
Not even in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that after travelling in the reservoir for a good half the day, he would encounter Li Qingchan soaking in the hot spring here!
What kind of luck was this?!
Luck that would be the death of him!
“God damnit…” Zhou Yuan’s voice was already trembling.
He had just sensed an alarmingly icy aura spread from Li Qingchan’s body at this moment. This was genuine killing intent.
Zhou Yuan suddenly felt pain from his ear the moment he was engulfed by the icy aura. Tuntun had given him a vicious nip, jolting him back to his senses.
He immediately submerged without the slightest shred of hesitation as a terrified shout rang out, “I’m blind, I can’t see anything!”
He fled the moment he popped back into the water, not even daring to glance backwards.
Zhou Yuan’s escape fully awakened Li Qingchan, her face turning so cold that frost was nearly about to form as her body trembled with rage. She never imagined that someone would suddenly appear like disaster from the sky when she was soaking in the hot spring. Her teeth clattered loudly as she beckoned with a hand, causing her skirt to fly from the edge of the spring and wrap around her body.
Rumble!
In the next instant, terrifying Genesis Qi exploded from her body without any reservation.
Boom!
Her figure shot forth, the water before her forcefully ripped apart by her terrifying Genesis Qi as she dived in like a bolt of thunder, churning with killing intent as she made a beeline for the frantically fleeing Zhou Yuan.
“Die you pervert!”
A voice so cold that it penetrated all the way into the bone pierced through the water, booming right on Zhou Yuan’s heels.
Chapter 311 Chased Again
The misty waters of the reservoir were silent as usual.
Swish!
The silence was suddenly broken. One could only watch as an ethereal figure zoomed past, the Golden Genesis Qi at his feet propelling him forward as he desperately fled at a speed so fast that he was basically cutting through the water.
This figure was naturally Zhou Yuan.
His complexion was currently rather pale, while his scalp was still numb from before. The sight from earlier had really been a huge shock to him.
He never expected that he would encounter Li Qingchan soaking in a hot spring at the random spot he chose to surface for a rest!
The killing intent spewing from that woman’s gaze earlier was practically on the verge of materializing in reality.
“I’m finished!” Zhou Yuan could not stop grieving at his situation.
Boom!
The water behind him was suddenly ripped apart. Zhou Yuan looked back, only to be horrified by the sight Li Qingchan rapidly breaking through the water, frightening Genesis Qi whizzing around her body.
From the chilling aura of murder around her, it was obvious that she would not let this go.
Even while separated by a substantial amount of water, Zhou Yuan could still feel Li Qingchan’s murderous gaze lock onto him from afar.
It was a gaze that made a chill fill Zhou Yuan’s entire body, causing him to frantically circulate his Genesis Qi, pushing his speed to the limit as he made his crazed escape.
However, no matter how much he accelerated, Li Qingchan remained close on his heels, killing intent angrily churning around her.
“Senior sister Li, it wasn’t intentional! I didn’t know there would be someone on the surface!” Wrapped in Genesis Qi, Zhou Yuan’s voice was transmitted towards Li Qingchan in an attempt to calm her.
However, Li Qingchan ignored his words, her only response the intensifying murder in her eyes. With a grasp of her hand, Genesis Qi rose, transforming into countless lotus petals whose edges flickered with an eerily cold light.
Swish swish!
The blade like petals shot forth, aimed at Zhou Yuan’s vitals.
The icy sensation at this back alarmed Zhou Yuan, and he immediately began pushing his Ethereal Form to its peak. At the same time, Magical Python Scales swiftly covered his body as he desperately dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding the Genesis Qi petals.
Even though he had not been hit, the force from the petals that sliced past had drawn several light cuts on his skin.
“She’s crazy!”
Zhou Yuan’s complexion turned green with fear. Li Qingchan had shown no mercy, and had clearly already lost some of her rationality.
This also told Zhou Yuan that it was impossible to reason with her.
The best thing to do for now was to escape, and at the very minimum wait for Li Qingchan to calm down first before trying to talk. If she caught hi
m, Zhou Yuan had the sinking feeling that he would be killed on the spot...
On Zhou Yuan’s shoulder, Tuntun watched with a gloating expression, clearly showing no intentions of helping.
With regards to Tuntun, all Zhou Yuan could do was send it a vicious, flesh-cutting glare as he accelerated again.
As such, a chase played out in the waters of the reservoir, both pursuer and the pursued giving it their all. The disturbance gave rise to giant waves, and the duo would occasionally encounter other disciples along the way. However, all of the disciples would hurriedly get out of the way at the sight of the murderous-looking Li Qingchan, astonishment on their faces as they watched the two go.
“Eh? Isn’t that senior sister Li Qingchan?”
“Who is she chasing?”
“I don’t recognize him… but from the looks of it, senior sister Qingchan is very angry. What did he do to offend her?”
“He deserves it. I can’t believe that he dared to anger senior sister Qingchan. He’d better hope he doesn’t meet me or I will catch him and bring him before senior sister Qingchan to atone for his crimes!”
“Hehe, with senior sister Qingchan personally in pursuit, there’s no way that he’s going to escape.”
“...”
Though Zhou Yuan encountered many disciples along the way, what made him despair was that not a single one had any intentions of helping him, instead casting unkind gazes at him.
“All of them are bastards!” Zhou Yuan cursed inside.
Behind him, Li Qingchan’s face was a little surprised as she gazed at Zhou Yuan’s figure. She had realised that even after chasing for so long, she was still unable to catch up to him.
This was somewhat inconceivable to her.
She could sense that Zhou Yuan was merely at the second layer Alpha-Origin, someone whom she could basically squash with a single palm. However, why was she unable to catch up?
Moreover, travelling in the Genesis reservoir was extremely taxing on one’s Genesis Qi. Ordinarily speaking, a second layer disciple should have run out of steam long ago, and yet Zhou Yuan seemed to have plenty of Genesis Qi left.
“No matter who you are, I will not easily let you off today!” Li Qingchan’s face was covered in frost. This was the first time she had experienced something like this. The mere thought that everything had been seen by this bastard who had suddenly appeared made rage and embarrassment surge in his heart, nearly destroying whatever rationality she had left.
Iciness flashed in her eyes as she locked onto Zhou Yuan’s figure.
Her hand abruptly formed a seal, and vigorous Genesis Qi immediately swept out. It swiftly gathered together, forming a half foot tall snow lotus.
The snow lotus was vivid and lifelike, ancient patterns adorning each of its petals. An intense cold spread from it, instantly freezing the surrounding water.
“Heaven Genesis technique, Snow Lotus Sealing technique!”
She showed no mercy, directly activating an alarmingly powerful Heaven Genesis technique.
Bzz!
The snow lotus trembled faintly. In the next instant, it transformed into a flash of white as it shot forth, freezing the surrounding waters wherever it passed...
A torrential wave of coldness swept forth, causing Zhou Yuan’s expression to change drastically. His speed was affected, gradually slowing down.
He looked back as his pupils abruptly shrank.
The incoming snow lotus was too alarmingly quick, making it basically impossible for him to dodge.
The piercing chill from it made him feel life threatening danger. If he was hit, there was no doubt that he would be instantly frozen.
Zhou Yuan looked towards his shoulder at Tuntun, who was clearly enjoying itself, as he said through gritted teeth, “If you keep watching, our collaboration will be over!”
Tuntun unhappily snorted twice, as if saying that you were clearly the one who drew this trouble, why did it have to clean up after!
“Less nonsense, quick!” Bellowed Zhou Yuan.
The corners of Tuntun’s mouth curled downwards in disapproval, but it still stood up on its legs. After all, it could not possibly just idly watch Zhou Yuan be slaughtered...
It turned around, looking towards the incoming ice snow lotus as its mouth suddenly opened. Mysterious black light rapidly converged, ultimately condensing into a ball of incomparable darkness that was sent shooting out.
Bzz!
The black ball and snow lotus smashed into each other, but no noise sounded from their collision. The chilling aura turned sluggish, before ultimately vanishing along with the balck ball.
Behind them, Li Qingchan was shocked by this sight, this turn of events clearly out of her expectations. How could she have expected her attack to be negated by the little creature on Zhou Yuan’s shoulder.
Zhou Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to accelerate and flee for his life, scuttling out of Li Qingchan’s sights.
Li Qingchan’s eyes grew even colder as she watched him run away.
“Do you think that this will allow you to escape?”
Genesis Qi exploded beneath her feet as her figure also cut through the water, relentlessly giving chase.
...
At a certain valley by the reservoir.
Plop!
The water was suddenly torn open as Zhou Yuan’s figure miserably jumped out. He looked towards the faintly misty beach and hissed, “Big sis Yaoyao, save me!”
However, his face immediately turned rigid the moment these words left his mouth.
He had seen Yaoyao with half of her fair, lovely shoulder revealed on the beach, just so happening to be in the process of removing her clothes for a soak in the reservoir.
Zhou Yuan’s face twitched madly. What was it with him and soaking today?!
While Zhou Yuan was stunned, Yaoyao’s indifferent gaze swept over as the clothes that were about to be fully removed were swiftly worn again. Her bare feet began to walk along the rocks on the beach, the wet clothes on her body outlining a set of soul stirring curves.
“Zhou Yuan…”
Yaoyao gently reached out a hand as a Genesis Rune scroll appeared within it. She looked at Zhou Yuan and said in a soft voice, “I feel that you’ve become quite bold recently, right?”
Zhou Yuan’s face was filled with grief.
Was it because he killed too many aquatic beasts earlier? Why was he so unlucky! This was retribution, wasn’t it?
Boom!
While Zhou Yuan was still submerged in his intense sorrow, the water behind him was abruptly torn open as a pillar of water shot into the sky. At the same time, a stream of berserk Genesis Qi shot out, viciously striking at Zhou Yuan.
“Die pervert!” An ice cold voice sounded. Li Qingchan had obviously caught up at last.
This sudden turn of events stunned Yaoyao. However, she soon frowned when she sensed the power behind the Genesis Qi that was aimed at Zhou Yuan. An attack of this level was not within Zhou Yuan’s threshold. Who exactly was this ruthless person?
With a jerk of her hand, the Genesis Rune scroll immediately began to burn as berserk Genesis Qi erupted.
Genesis Qi whizzed out like a roaring black water dragon, smashing into the stream of Genesis Qi that was shooting towards Zhou Yuan, causing an alarming storm of energy to sweep outwards...
Waves ten thousand feet high rose as Yaoyao indifferently looked towards the pretty figure that had attacked, while a cold voice followed,
“He’s mine, and you don’t have the right to touch him.”
Chapter 312 Face-off Between the Two Girls
Bang!
The black water dragon collided with the stream of Genesis Qi that gave off a piercing chill, causing a wave of berserk Genesis Qi to sweep outwards. Giant waves rose from the surface of the reservoir, before crashing into the walls of the valley, making the entire place tremble.
Li Qingchan stood in the air above the water, powerful Genesis Qi surging out from her body to block the a
ftershocks of the clash.
Her brows knitted together slightly as she raised her pretty face and looked in Yaoyao’s direction. The power the latter had displayed earlier had somewhat shaken the former’s heart.
When Li Qingchan finally got a clear view of Yaoyao, she could not help but be stunned. The latter’s appearance and aura had taken away the breath of even someone like herself. This was not Li Qingchan being narcissistic. Over the years, she had grown to clearly understand how beautiful she was, though she was normally not very fond of the title of Cangxuan Sect’s number one beauty that the numerous disciples in the sect had given her.
However, it could not be denied that there was no girl who did not care about appearance.
And now that she had seen Yaoyao, even Li Qingchan could not help but be slightly stunned.
Yaoyao’s appearance and aura was not the least bit inferior to her own, and as a woman, Li Qingchan could even more keenly sense the mysteriousness from Yaoyao’s body.
Both of them were the distant, aloof and indifferent type.
However, Li Qingchan’s indifference was because there were too many people who adored her beauty. All it took was a little nudge, and any male would basically be bowing his head and grovelling at her feet. However, this not only drew the critical opinions of others, but also attracted trouble to herself.
Over the years, there had been no lack of disciples of the opposite sex that had once been quite close to her, only to end up drawing the envy of other disciples and being excluded.
As this continued to occur, Li Qingchan began to withdraw into herself, hiding her feelings and becoming as cold as an ice mountain. She kept her distance with members of the opposite sex, because it would be best for everyone.
Though Yaoyao also appeared indifferent, Li Qingchan could sense that they were different. Yaoyao’s indifference was not due to any person, but seemed to be on an even higher level that originated from her Spirit and bloodline.
Such a feeling was akin to the indifference a man felt towards an ant, because the two were on completely different levels, and hence no need to show any emotion.
Like how a passing person would not care whether an ant would be crushed under his or her foot.
