The hot water in the pool was noticeable by the chill that permeated around, indicating it was not warm at all.“Why don’t you come down” Lei Huishan giggled, teasingly. Her eyes were currently on the chest of Shen Xiang, though she was covered by a red petal, preventing him from seeing her.“Big Sister Dragon, I have something urgent. After finding the insect, she managed to escape,” Shen Xiang explained while standing by the poolside where Lei Huishan was. His eyes wandered, not able to see her chest as intended.“I remember Feng Tiangao mentioning that the insect’s form is huge, making it hard to move. How did she escape” Lei Huishan furrowed her eyebrows in surprise.“Did you attack the insect” she questioned, quite intrigued by Shen Xiang’s actions.“Not at all. I wouldn’t dare to attack! I just revealed my presence near her and caused her to be cautious. The insect then unleashed its fury, flattening the mountain range before disappearing underground,” Shen Xiang recounted his experience with a hint of fear. “The insect’s strength is very strong, I’m no match for it.”Lei Huishan’s long leg emerged from the water, her jade hands gently stroking his back before dipping them again. Watching this made Shen Xiang’s mouth water, while Lei Huishan chuckled softly.“Rub my back,” she requested with a smile.“Ah.” Shen Xiang responded, his hands instinctively reaching for the delicate back of Lei Huishan. He gently massaged her shoulders, enjoining a pleased moan from her.“A big man like you can do such detailed things,” Lei Huishan teased, enjoying the warmth of her words.Shen Xiang chuckled internally. He was indeed very focused on helping her, secretly using his creation flames to warm his hands as the ice dragon, who was used to cooling energies, would find this warmth soothing.“I’ll inform Qilian and Old Dong Chen,” Lei Huishan said, taking out a message amulet. She then asked Shen Xiang for details and relayed the information to the elders present in the meeting room.“Nice brother, you always look so stressed! Are you coming down to take a bath too” Lei Huishan inquired, seemingly concerned.“Nope,” Shen Xiang replied as he observed the cold mist from the water, shaking his head. “Hey! You’re just afraid of me!”Lei Huishan playfully chided him, recalling his previous confidence. Then she swiftly moved her hands under the water, pressing on Shen Xiang’s chest and gripping him tightly. The sudden change in affection took her by surprise, causing her to exclaim and cringe back.“Brat! Stop it,” Lei Huishan urged, already feeling the consequences of her actions as the icy water splashed on Shen Xiang’s face. He was knocked away and struck by ice frost.Lei Qiulan, seeing Shen Xiang being hit, felt satisfied and simply said, “Get out here quickly for something else.”Shen Xiang rubbed his face, grunted, and left the bathhouse, sitting on a chair outside. His face was slightly flushed from the impact of Lei Huishan’s slap, feeling thankful it wasn’t a fatal blow for ordinary people.Lei Huishan emerged from the bathhouse, wearing icy armor that emphasized her domineering presence. Her chilling aura and her icy expression made Shen Xiang feel somewhat intimidated.“I have the array plate, let’s deal with Vast Heaven Sect later. So, you said the insect escaped” Lei Qiulan asked.“Yes, but don’t worry; Yue’er can find her. Now that I know more about the insect, I’m convinced it’s beyond my capabilities alone, at least requiring Tai Shen’s power,” Shen Xiang explained.Lei Huishan interjected, “Let’s go together. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll call back, while you stay to defend the city.”Shen Xiang was hesitant and avoided looking at Lei Huishan, who had been staring him down threateningly.“Alright…” Lei Qiulan could tell that she was on the verge of anger. Witnessing Shen Xiang’s actions had left her concerned about him suddenly coming forward, considering Lei Huishan’s proposal.Lei Huishan stood up and glared at him, “What are you afraid of I’ll return your lover in one piece!”“Humph, he’s now your lover and your brother,” Lei Qiulan scoffed, amused despite her calm exterior.Shen Xiang cleared his throat and suggested, “Let’s go while it's night. It’ll be easier to find the insect now.”Lei Huishan inspected Shen Xiang’s pack containing Yue’er, nodding before following him into the teleportation room. They teleported out of the city.Knowing Shen Xiang was being hit, Lei Qiulan felt satisfaction and said, “Speak up for real business now.”Shen Xiang rubbed his face, glanced at Lei Qiulan and entered the bathhouse. His face was slightly red from Lei Huishan’s slap, feeling grateful for his resilience.Lei Huishan came out wearing icy armor, making her presence intimidating. Scared by the sight, Shen Xiang noticed she was fuming.“Did you take care of it” Lei Qiulan asked, concerned by the situation.“The insect escaped, but don’t worry. Yue’er can find it. I have some understanding of the insect now, but it’s beyond my current capabilities,” Shen Xiang admitted.Lei Huishan agreed and said, “Let’s go together. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll call for reinforcements,” adding, “Stay and protect the city.”Realizing Lei Huishan’s anger, Shen Xiang avoided eye contact. The intensity of her reaction earlier was unsettling.“The insect’s strength is very strong, I’m no match for it,” he repeated.Lei Qiulan could see she was in a heated moment, considering her presence at the scene and now Lei Huishan’s proactive suggestion. It was unexpected, leaving Lei Qiulan concerned for Shen Xiang.Lei Huishan stood, glared at him and said, “What are you afraid of I’ll bring your lover back safe.”“Humph, he’s now part of you,” Lei Qiulan responded, her eyes filled with humor despite her slight anger.Shen Xiang chuckled uncomfortably, “Let’s go. It’ll be easier to find the insect during night.”Lei Huishan glanced at Shen Xiang’s pack, nodded and followed him into the teleportation chamber. They left the city.Arriving at their usual place, Lei Huishan packed her icy dragon armor and transformed into a tight-fitting black outfit.“Big Sister Dragon, I apologize for losing control earlier,” Shen Xiang expressed guilt. Lei Huishan’s reaction was intense, leaving him uneasy.“What’s the matter You haven’t touched a woman for ages” Lei Huishan teased him, sensing his intense desire.“It’s been a while. Despite having many women around, it never feels right,” Shen Xiang said with a dry smile.Lei Huishan punched him and scolded, “You’re afraid I’ll be angry But I didn’t think you’d have guts to do it. If not for Qiulan showing up, you might’ve succeeded.”Seeing Lei Huishan’s bright smile, Shen Xiang was relieved internally. He laughed, “I’m just worried you might stop talking to me! I don’t want to lose you…” He then added, “But speaking of that, Big Sister Dragon, do you feel Qiulan’s arrival is out of place and causing a little disappointment”“Stop being vain,” Lei Huishan chuckled, patting his head. Despite their height difference, her hand reached up to his forehead.“Oh!”Shen Xiang was disappointed, but unexpectedly, his disappointment turned into shock. Lei Huishan suddenly hugged him and sealed his mouth with her lips, initiating a kiss, returning the favor by gripping his chest tightly. This action made him wince.周飛冇想到沈翔能突然激發體內隱藏的強大力量，讓這個出乎他的意料。因此一拳讓他手臂震顫。“看來我低估了你，既然如此，讓我讓你徹底敗退。”周飛即便看見沈翔挖掘出體內的強大力量，對此不屑一顧。他認為自己複製了沈翔的一切。作為一個活了幾萬年的靈體，他自認為比沈翔更瞭解力量，也更加懂得如何運用力量。對他而言，人類原本就不怎麼討喜。此時他恨不得立即打敗沈翔並離開這個地方前往人類世界大肆殺戮。周飛身形一閃，忽左...
