Chapter 455: Chapter 317: Four-Way Melee (18)
Qi Yue shivered from head to toe.
She immediately took a large step back, abandoning the thought of getting in.
Tang Ruan let out a mischievous giggle.
Then she scooped up a little water and flicked it onto Qi Yue’s thigh. The coldness made Qi Yue shriek again and again.
"Tang Ruan, you’re so annoying," Qi Yue whined, hiding behind Zhao Chi.
"Hehe, hahahaha~" Tang Ruan laughed ceaselessly in the water.
Zhao Chi said, "You two can mess around later. There’s another spring over there. Let’s go check it out first."
"There’s another one?" Tang Ruan’s interest was piqued, and she immediately climbed out of the spring.
In an instant, she brought a cascade of icy water out with her, splashing it everywhere.
Qi Yue shrieked and leaped far away, not daring to come any closer.
Tang Ruan said, "Qi Yue, why’d you run so far? I won’t splash you again. Come on, let’s go to the other spring."
Only then did Qi Yue slowly approach.
After Tang Ruan got out of the icy water, her skin became even paler.
It looked as if she was drained of all color.
After a good while, Tang Ruan’s skin returned to a healthy, rosy white.
The three of them now stood by the Sauna Spring, and the two women once again felt an unprecedented wave of humid heat.
"So, you’re saying the water here is hot?" Tang Ruan’s eyes lit up.
Qi Yue had already taken several steps back.
Zhao Chi nodded. "That’s right. The temperature inside is very high, but for you... I won’t say anything. Go on in."
Qi Yue hurriedly took two more steps back.
As expected, Tang Ruan leaped in without a moment’s hesitation.
SPLASH!
Water flew everywhere.
"Whoa—it’s so hot!"
This time, only Tang Ruan’s joyous cry rang out.
Her skin instantly flushed pink as blood rushed to the surface.
Only then did Qi Yue approach again.
Zhao Chi smiled. "Qi Yue, this one’s hot. Why don’t you try again?"
"Okay, fine. Tang Ruan, don’t you dare cause trouble."
Tang Ruan laughed. "I know, I know."
"My Lord, let me hold on to you."
Zhao Chi went over, and Qi Yue hugged his arm tightly as she once again dipped her foot in.
Once again, her fair toes curled from the heat.
But this time, she didn’t pull back, instead dipping her foot in further.
This time, it was half of her delicate sole.
Then her whole foot, followed by her entire leg.
Until she was halfway in.
It seemed Qi Yue could adapt to this Sauna Spring.
"My Lord, you come in too." Tang Ruan came to the edge of the spring and took hold of Zhao Chi’s calf. "My Lord, are my hands hot?"
They were indeed very hot.
Zhao Chi felt a small, soft, and hot hand grasp him.
For some reason, Zhao Chi suddenly glanced down between his legs.
’If Gu Qing were here, she probably wouldn’t have just grabbed my calf.’
As Qi Yue slowly began to squat, Zhao Chi also entered the Sauna Spring.
It was really hot.
But at the same time, it felt incredibly good.
’I wonder if soaking in these two springs regularly could increase one’s ice and fire Resistance?’
Before long, more and more women discovered the two springs.
Most of them gathered around the edges, watching one "female warrior" after another take on the challenge.
As shrieks rang out, they were followed by the laughter of the onlookers.
Zhao Chi felt very relaxed in this moment.
Next, Zhao Chi gave everyone the day off, letting them all come here to enjoy a moment of peace.
Needless to say, all his female subordinates lay in the hot springs with their eyes closed, humming contentedly.
All 16 Naga Warriors slipped into the hot spring, floating silently on the surface as if they were dead.
They only let out an occasional hiss.
They were an Aquatic Race to begin with and were excellent swimmers.
Before, they had always bathed and rested in the small river.
Now that Zhao Chi had designated a Carefree Spring for them, they were more than happy.
After all, it was extremely comfortable, put them in an excellent Mood, and even provided a massive Bonus. Who would refuse?
Compared to the Naga Warriors, the Harpies were much noisier.
As Flying Creatures, they had some aversion to water.
But they also knew the Carefree Spring was a good thing, so none of them were willing to give it up. They all carefully entered the water.
However, the Harpies were already a noisy bunch. Now, soaked in the warm, comfortable spring water, they immediately started cackling wildly, GAK GAK GAK GAK, without a moment’s pause.
Their feathered wings flapped about chaotically, splashing water everywhere.
Thankfully, they had been assigned the farthest Carefree Spring, or they would have been annoyed to death.
The 200 Flower Demons came as well.
They gathered in a corner of the Carefree Spring, carefully getting into the water.
Zhao Chi had originally thought they wouldn’t dare enter, since their wings were so large and covered in various kinds of pollen, making it seem like they couldn’t get wet.
But even so, they weren’t about to pass up on such wonderful spring water.
One by one, they folded their large wings back and floated on the surface of the water.
They were so light that it was difficult for them to sink, which made it safer for them.
These 200 Flower Demons were also chirping and chattering with excitement.
But they were too small and their voices too thin. The sounds they made were like soft whispers, which actually made them quieter than the 14 Harpies.
The Female Pastoralists from the Mu Yang Group led the Feathered Oxen over.
They slowly guided them into a Carefree Spring.
The Feathered Oxen were a little resistant at first, but the moment one of them dipped a hoof in the water, it started mooing in surprise.
It plunged directly into the spring and started to swim.
The Feathered Oxen in the front called to the ones behind them. Without even waiting for Mu Yang and his people to lead them, all 60 Feathered Oxen jumped in and began to swim around gleefully.
When these creatures first entered the Carefree Spring, their bodies were covered in mud and grime.
They dirtied the spring water in an instant.
However, the Carefree Spring had a powerful self-cleaning Ability. In just a few moments, the dirty water was absorbed into the cracks in the rocks, and clean, new water bubbled up to replace it.
The animals’ Carefree Spring Water became clean and clear once more.
Finally, there were the two dogs.
They had long been frolicking in the water, and could even swim underwater.
