Chapter 249: Chapter 157: Yui Zhen Once Again

Unlike the last time when he was alone and awake, this time inside the water beast’s belly, both You Su and Ji Xueruo were struggling to endure the mind-bewildering fragrance.

After all, with a great enemy at hand, no one dared to pass out easily.

The slippery, viscous mucus and the narrow, warm cavity walls.

Entwining, rubbing, circling...

The two of them were like two bars of soap made by the Divine Mountain, with friction bringing even more viscous fluid.

You Su did not expect things to turn out like this, so he could only silently chant the Purifying Heart Spell in his heart to clear his mind.

He felt like the monk in "Cyan Snake," while Ji Xueruo, as his elder sister, seemed like that extremely alluring Xiaoqing.

There was nothing to see inside the water beast’s belly, which brought additional stimulation. Ji Xueruo felt like she also became blind, with the sensory feedback on her skin heightened several times. You Su’s heavy breath sprayed onto Ji Xueruo’s face, and she bit her lip in disdain, yet her charming eyes were irresistibly alluring.

Upon noticing something hard pressing against her lower abdomen, having already experienced the might of You Su’s Swordsmanship, she instantly understood what this suddenly swelling object was.

"You... stay away a bit!"

You Su tried hard to expand the cavity but to no avail, so he could only squeeze out a few words through tightly clenched teeth:

"I want to as well..."

Fortunately, the water beast’s pace was quick, and the enchanting moment passed swiftly, allowing both to maintain their clarity of mind till the end.

With a "pop" sound, both were spat out by the water beast, which seemed choked and opened and closed its mouth several times.

The little white fish also swam out. The water beast couldn’t speak, but it could understand its meaning. It looked at the disheveled young man and woman on the ground and clicked its tongue in amazement:

"You two are so close, you even made my little bug feel uncomfortable."

Ji Xueruo’s pretty face showed a trace of embarrassment, and she retorted playfully, "If you keep teasing us on purpose, you can forget about being a water deity!"

With that, she intended to wash off those sticky substances from her body.

"Tch!" The little white fish swam beside them nonchalantly and reminded, "I’m doing this for your own good. The ’Dragon Fragrance’ inside my little bug is a rare scent in the world, considered the essence of the Jade Ring Pool’s Spiritual Qi, with numerous benefits. Instead of absorbing this Dragon Fragrance, you actually want to wipe it off, truly mistaking my good intentions for donkey liver and lungs."

Ji Xueruo questioned upon hearing this, "If it’s really like that, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

The little white fish disdainfully glanced at her, "If I had said so earlier, wouldn’t you have drained my little bug dry?"

"Miser!"

Ji Xueruo rolled her eyes and then started operating her Cultivation Technique to refine the precious Dragon Fragrance on her body.

As expected, while refining, Ji Xueruo felt entirely comfortable, every pore greedily absorbing the mucus, her exhaustion dissipating, returning her to peak condition.

For a creature resembling a dragon to carry such potent ’Dragon Fragrance,’ imagine the wonders of real dragon fragrance?

After finishing refining, the previous sticky and disgusting feeling vanished, replaced by a sense of refreshment throughout her body, making her skin even more plump and translucent.

Ji Xueruo slowly opened her eyes and found they were back at the black pond where Yui Zhen brought her for the ritual.

Restored, You Su was already standing by the black pond, quietly looking down.

Of course, he couldn’t see the deep black water, only hoping to glimpse the demonic Divine Beast lurking below but saw only dense darkness. He couldn’t even tell if it was a mirage before his eyes or if the pond was inherently that black. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Ji Xueruo walked slowly to You Su’s side, also gazing at the black pond. It seemed like a flat black mirror, through which nothing underwater could be seen, scant reflections being the only visible thing.

"The hidden land is underwater; jump in and you can enter its illusion,"

The little white fish floated on the pond’s surface, its body glowing pale white, reflecting the water’s surface clearly.

"I don’t know what you will encounter in its illusion, but remember, it must be breakable. Be patient and search diligently... only then can you bring back those lost within."

"When you’re ready, jump in together. The evil people outside won’t sit idly by. I can even sense the hidden land is on the verge of breaking free from its restraints..."

The little white fish’s childlike voice suddenly sounded old, making even the two young cultivators at the Middle Spirit Platform Realm feel a bit uneasy about facing such an ancient and wicked presence.

Ji Xueruo and You Su exchanged a glance, seemingly seeing the determination in each other’s eyes.

"Hand."

Ji Xueruo’s cold voice suddenly echoed, with the hair on her forehead dancing despite the lack of wind, exuding an air of inexpressible nobility.

You Su hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand to hold Ji Xueruo’s.

Ji Xueruo’s hand was soft and boneless, providing You Su an immense sense of encouragement amid this familiar yet foreign touch. Faced with imminent peril, the pressure of confronting it alone compared to facing it together was vastly different.

With a counter-grip on Ji Xueruo’s hand, without even needing a slogan, they leapt into the air simultaneously, diving into the pitch-black water pool.

As they descended, the dark water seeped into their seven orifices and filled their bodies, making their consciousness begin to blur, yet their clasped hands remained eternally inseparable.

...

Ji Xueruo felt herself ensconced within a firm embrace. She slowly opened her eyes only to see the boy’s pouting lips close at hand.
