Chapter 517: Teasing
Lin Feng lay in the hot spring pool, warm steam continuously brushing over his body, exceptionally comfortable.
Beside the pool, there were quite a few Origin Stones, from which strands of heaven and earth essence continuously drifted out, surging toward Lin Feng's body to restore the true essence power he had consumed.
At this moment, Lin Feng's eyes were tightly shut. The Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture circulated, and a crimson radiance flowed unceasingly over his entire body. Even the hot spring pool shimmered with a dreamy luster under this glow.
Lin Feng did not know that on his body and in the hot spring pool, there was a sun pattern floating respectively, especially eye-catching.
At the same time, within Lin Feng's body, an eerie power seeped out, growing stronger and stronger. Besides this power, a scorching heat also rose, causing the temperature of the pool to climb continuously.
Both this eerie power and the gradually increasing heat filled the space of the hot spring pool with a peculiar current of air.
Time passed slowly. On Lin Feng's body, a terrifying force began to flow through his limbs and bones. Through his body, one could see an unknown substance writhing wildly on his skin at an extremely fast speed, as if his blood were boiling.
Simultaneously, a special luster also began to circulate, moving along the cycle of the heavens. This was the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Demon Art within Lin Feng's body operating on its own. Soon, crimson light and the radiance of the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Demon intertwined over Lin Feng's entire body, appearing extremely eerie.
The water in the hot spring pool began to boil, bubbling continuously. Steam rose upward, shrouding the entire space in a layer of mist. Within this mist, a red glow could be seen.
In her boudoir, Duan Xinye sensed this scorching heat and was momentarily stunned. Even she felt very hot now, as if the temperature had suddenly risen significantly.
A puzzled expression appeared in her clear eyes. Wasn't Lin Feng just bathing? Why was it so hot?
Her beautiful eyes flickered. Duan Xinye slowly walked toward the hot spring pool, hesitating slightly but ultimately stepping inside.
As soon as she entered the hot spring pool area, Duan Xinye froze. Was Lin Feng really bathing?
The entire space was now filled with radiant mist, and within the mist, sun patterns were faintly visible. Moreover, sun patterns hung on Lin Feng's body and in the water, swaying unceasingly.
The water in the pool churned violently, completely boiling. On Lin Feng's bare upper body, two powerful forces flowed continuously, causing Duan Xinye to cover her mouth in surprise, nearly letting out a gasp.
What kind of cultivation technique was Lin Feng practicing to produce such phenomena? It seemed as if not just one person was cultivating, but several at once.
Quietly crouching by the edge of the pool, Duan Xinye stared blankly at Lin Feng, somewhat entranced. If she could always stay by Lin Feng's side, accompanying him in his cultivation without disturbing him, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?
The Origin Stones were frantically devoured by Lin Feng, gradually disappearing. The force flowing within Lin Feng's body also began to calm down. Finally, Lin Feng opened his eyes, and a dazzling light flashed briefly, extremely sharp.
"This devoured bloodline power—part of it has merged into the Heaven Devouring Beast, and part has merged into my body. But this bloodline is ultimately an external force and cannot give birth to a bloodline power within me. Still, it is very useful. It can actually drive the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Demon Art to circulate through the heavenly cycle. Now, the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Demon power within my body should be around three thousand eight hundred."
Lin Feng clenched his fist, and a cracking sound rang out. Three thousand eight hundred Buddha-Demon power—only two hundred more to reach four thousand. Once he reached four thousand Buddha-Demon power, a single casual punch could blast a Mysterious Martial Realm Fifth Layer cultivator into dust.
Raising his head, Lin Feng saw Duan Xinye crouching beside him and smiled gently. "What are you peeping at me for?"
"I... I just felt it was so hot inside that I came in to check. Who's peeping at you?"
Duan Xinye's face turned red again at Lin Feng's question. Peeping at Lin Feng while he bathed—this was truly embarrassing. She had unknowingly done such a thing and had stayed here the whole time, only to be caught red-handed by Lin Feng.
"If you weren't peeping at me, why were you crouching there so quietly? You must have been watching for a while."
Seeing Duan Xinye's expression, Lin Feng couldn't help but tease her, speaking with a smile. This made Duan Xinye's face flush even redder, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Xinye, you wouldn't... be thinking of bathing with me, would you?" Lin Feng asked weakly, causing Duan Xinye to stare at him unblinkingly.
Then, covering her face, she fled from the spot like a runaway, her heart pounding wildly. That Lin Feng... he was too much of a rogue!
Watching Duan Xinye leave, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth curled up slightly with a faint smile. He stood up, feeling an indescribable comfort throughout his body.
With a single step, Lin Feng stepped out of the pool, draped his clothes over himself, and walked out, entering Duan Xinye's boudoir.
At this moment, Duan Xinye's face was still flushed, exceptionally cute and charming. Seeing Lin Feng come out, she couldn't help but glare at him. Of course, she understood that Lin Feng was deliberately teasing her, but this kind of lover's teasing not only didn't upset her but filled her heart with joy, as if she were savoring this sweetness.
"Xinye, is it time for the evening banquet?" Lin Feng asked. Duan Xinye shook her head slightly. "Not yet. I also need to bathe, and then we can take a stroll to Wuyashan. That way, we'll arrive just in time for the evening banquet."
"You need to bathe too?" Lin Feng stared at Duan Xinye, his eyes flickering, which made her roll her eyes at him. What kind of look was that? It didn't seem well-intentioned.
"What, is that not allowed?" Duan Xinye said in a coquettish tone.
"Of course it's allowed. It's just that you peeped at me bathing earlier, so shouldn't I be allowed to watch when you bathe?"
Lin Feng said with a sly grin, leaving Duan Xinye stunned.
"..."
Speechless. Duan Xinye was completely speechless toward Lin Feng. When had she ever discovered that this guy was such a rogue?
"Isn't this for the sake of fairness? That way, you won't owe me anything." Lin Feng laughed lightly and continued. Duan Xinye fled in tears, her face burning hot. Lin Feng was just too much!
Watching Duan Xinye flee in panic, Lin Feng laughed again and called out, "Xinye, I'll wait for you outside."
Duan Xinye hugged her bathing clothes and entered the flowing hot spring pool without responding to Lin Feng. She didn't dare to respond to this guy anymore.
PS: Thanks to La Ma for the tip. Wishing you, as a mother, happiness and joy! Also, wishing all mothers health and happiness... I can't help but add: Brothers, you're torturing me again. Besides La Ma's tip, all other data has gone to zero. Why does every burst of updates have to dampen my enthusiasm like this? I'm running away in tears.
