Chapter 639: Uncle Bear? Wu Kuafu?
Watching Jiangnan stare at her with wide eyes without stopping!
Zhong Yingxue hugged her arms, two blushes rising on her pretty face!
"Don't... don't you like it?"
Jiangnan shook his head and let out a "pfft" laugh!
"No! You're still very cute today!"
That's right!
Given Xuexue's personality, how could she possibly wear revealing swimwear in a hot spring?
A diving suit is very cute too!
Nightingale rolled her eyes and kicked Jiangnan into the spicy pot. "Just soak yourself!"
"Come on, come on! We're not letting him see. Let's go soak!"
With that, she pulled Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao toward the clear broth pot.
Kicked into the hot spring, Jiangnan suddenly popped his head out, his big eyes sparkling!
He felt a surging heat filling every corner of his body, with dense spiritual energy burrowing in from all directions!
Jiangnan's SSS+ talent activated fully at this moment, even forming a water vortex around his body!
His rank was slowly increasing!
Several nearby older brothers couldn't help but glance over.
Moreover, a scorching energy in the hot spring water surged into his body, continuously strengthening his physique!
Bone density, flexibility, muscle firmness were all improving!
Jiangnan was thrilled!
He hadn't expected much from the top-tier Yuanyang Guo's body-strengthening effects, since he had been soaking in Dali for years.
But surprisingly, the effect was exceptionally good!
Wait!
Since both the spicy pot and Dali have body-strengthening effects, would combining them yield extraordinary results?
Do it now!
Jiangnan raised his hand and released five Spatial Barriers, forming a square bathtub ten meters long!
This blocked the flow of hot spring water to prevent Dali 2.0 from leaking!
Then he took out two barrels of Dali 2.0 and frantically poured them into the bathtub!
The "gulp, gulp, gulp" sound immediately caught the attention of the anti-scrub auntie!
Her lightning-like gaze shot over!
"What are you doing? Why are you adding water inside?"
Jiangnan looked guilty: "Uh... the broth is too thick and hot, so I'm diluting it a bit. Aha~ ahaha~"
The auntie was stunned. Others complained the broth wasn't strong enough, but you're diluting it?
"As long as you don't scrub mud inside, do whatever you want!"
Jiangnan chuckled to himself, pouring a full 100 barrels of Dali into his self-made bathtub!
He didn't waste the empty barrels either. While the auntie wasn't looking, he filled 100 barrels with the spiritually rich spicy broth and secretly stuffed them into his Alternate Dimension!
That should be worth a nice chunk of change!
This shouldn't count as stealing, right?
I might have taken 100 barrels of spicy broth,
But I also poured 100 barrels of Dali 2.0 in!
This is just swapping! And I'm even at a loss!
Yes, that's right, no problem!
Excitedly rubbing his little hands, Jiangnan slowly soaked into the enhanced bathtub!
The cool energy from Dali 2.0 combined with the scorching energy of the spicy pot, seeming to undergo a magical chemical reaction!
It was crazily strengthening Jiangnan's body at a speed incomparable to before!
Jiangnan was shocked!
This was a one-plus-one-equals-three effect!
He had accidentally discovered a new continent!
But he had to be careful not to let his head touch the enhanced hot spring water,
Otherwise, he'd go bald!
He also had to strictly control soaking time, or else he'd turn into a Muscle Devil!
That would be a loss.
Just then, Wu Liang finally emerged from the locker room wearing leopard-print tiny triangle shorts!
He spotted Jiangnan enjoying himself in the spicy pot!
Wu Liang grinned: "Haha, Nan Ge, sorry to keep you waiting!"
He came over to Jiangnan and dive-bombed into the enhanced bathtub!
"Splash!"
Jiangnan: !!!
"Hey, hey, hey, holy crap!"
But it was already too late. Wu Liang surfaced from the bathtub, splashing the hot spring water to wash his face!
Making a "pfft, pfft" sound!
"Haha! Awesome! This Yuanyang Guo is impressive! What's up, Nan Ge?"
Jiangnan's face paled slightly: "N... nothing!"
Phew! Scared me!
With such a big pool, why did you have to jump right in front of me?
This water is enhanced!
Fortunately, Wu Liang was a loyal user of Dali, so baldness wasn't a big deal to him!
Wu Liang's hair had never exceeded an inch!
Bald is bald!
But the moment Wu Liang plunged in, his eyebrows were also removed!
All hair on every part of his body was perfectly stripped!
Well... he probably wouldn't mind.
It's just two eyebrows!
Just then, Xiong Er finally arrived wearing his little leopard print!
"Haha! Nan Ge! Watch my deep water bomb!"
With a big jump and front flip, he aimed for Jiangnan's enhanced bathtub!
Jiangnan: "Huh? What deep... ssss—holy sh*t! Don't jump!"
"Splash!"
But Xiong Er had already entered the water, diving headfirst into the enhanced bathtub, sending water splashing everywhere!
Jiangnan was startled and quickly deployed his last Spatial Barrier to block the splashing water!
If he got splashed, he'd go bald!
Having dodged the disaster, Jiangnan let out a long breath but then looked guilty!
Xiong Er suddenly popped out of the bathtub, looking confused!
"Huh? Why do I feel a bit cold?"
Jiangnan: Σ(|||･᷄kou･᷅)
Wu Liang: Σ(٥ﾟдﾟﾉ)ﾉ
At this moment, Xiong Er's entire body was smooth and hairless, his skin fair and tender!
He sported a round, bulging belly and a shiny bald head, looking exactly like a greasy middle-aged uncle!
Not a single strand of bear fur remained, all stripped away by the Dali 2.0-enriched hot spring water!
Wu Liang's eyes widened: "Be... because your fur suit has been taken off! I knew it! You're a human wearing a fur suit! Confirmed!"
This isn't Xiong Er at all!
It's clearly a middle-aged uncle!
A bear jumped in, and an uncle came out?
Jiangnan covered his face: "I mixed Dali 2.0 in here!"
Xiong Er's eyes bulged. He looked down and saw his round belly, pale and bright,
Like a beer belly!
A piercing scream echoed through the mountains!
"Ahhh~ My original bear fur from birth!"
"My pitch-black, soft, fluffy bear coat!"
(;´༎ຶ㉨༎ຶ`)
"Qiqi won't like a bald bear!"
[From Xiong Er: Resentment +555!]
Jiangnan: "It's okay... it will grow back. Winter will be over soon, so you won't freeze."
"Since it's bald, accept it!"
But the greasy middle-aged uncle look of Xiong Er without his bear coat was still too immersion-breaking!
No matter how upset Xiong Er felt, he couldn't change the fact that he was now a bald bear.
He had no choice but to cultivate baldly.
Since Wu Liang and Xiong Er had joined, Jiangnan worried the potency wasn't strong enough, so he poured another 200 barrels of Dali 2.0 in!
The three of them soaked in the enhanced bathtub until they were on the verge of turning into Muscle Devils,
Then they got out to absorb spiritual energy in the spicy pot!
By now, all three had taken the Heart-Pounding Pop Rocks, getting stunned while also gaining a 10x spiritual energy absorption rate!
In the spicy pot, they even raised three water vortexes!
Frantically absorbing spiritual energy, terrifying the seven or eight older brothers in the pool!
What the hell kind of talent rank is this?
It probably isn't even in the alphabet!
They had turned the nice spicy pot into a washing machine!
The seven or eight older brothers shivered and gathered at the edge of the pool, afraid of being sucked in and washed!
But they couldn't even get angry. For some reason, looking at Wu Liang and the others made their hearts race uncontrollably. They found them incredibly likable!
That little handsome guy and the muscle guy were understandable,
But why did my heart race when I looked at that chubby middle-aged uncle?!
Something's definitely off here!
The older brothers were all questioning their lives!
Even the anti-scrub auntie blushed, sneaking glances at the three of them, feeling a bit bashful!
This was still with Jiangnan being merciful;
If he had taken some Hei Hei Garlic, it wouldn't have been a washing machine but a massive hydraulic turbine!
Since the pool was small—only about 500 meters in diameter—Jiangnan and his group had monopolized the spicy pot area's hot spring water.
So the two humans and one bear started jumping back and forth between the spicy zone and the enhanced bathtub!
"Boom!"
With an explosion, spiritual energy rolled, water splashed. Jiangnan, who had just reached Gold Six last week, broke through to Gold Seven!
Seeing Jiangnan at Gold Seven, Wu Liang's eyes reddened!
He was still Gold Five. How could he fall behind? He had to catch up!
Since the spicy pot's hot spring water was full of spiritual energy, soaking had an effect!
Then...
With a fierce expression on his face, Wu Liang hardened his resolve, opened his huge mouth, and took a gulp of the spicy broth!
"Slurp~ Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!"
Jiangnan: Σ(|||ﾟдﾟ)
"Brother... you... you're drinking it?! This is bathwater! Do you have to go that far? What does it taste like?"
Wu Liang's eyes sparkled: "Ha! Burp~ External application and internal use, double the effect! Shouldn't the cultivation speed double? I'm a genius!"
"Other than it being a bit salty, nothing much. Nan Ge, want to try?"
"Boom!"
With another explosion, Wu Liang reached Gold Six, laughing heartily as he chugged!
Jiangnan was stunned, shaking his head like a rattle!
I'd rather die than drink bathwater!
In ancient times, Kuafu chased the sun and drank the Wei River dry!
Today, Wu Liang chases Nan Ge and chugs bathwater?
You're a real beast!
Wu Kuafu, huh?
No, no, I need to soak fast!
Otherwise, Wu Liang might drink the pool dry any minute!
Wu Liang suddenly surfaced from the water, spat out some hot spring water,
"Hey? Why does the water over here taste a bit astringent?"
Xiong Er: (░´㉨`░)
"Bear Da! Go drink over there; it's not astringent there!"
Wu Liang: ???
Jiangnan: (･᷄﹏･᷅) Eww~
