She still looked as stunning as ever, her black hair tied up in a bun, dressed in a sharp black and white sword outfit. She wore no makeup, yet she still exuded radiance and extraordinary presence.

As she spoke, her large eyes swept over him, and then she exclaimed in surprise, "You've already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining?"

Behind her, Dongfang Yue, using the excuse that "the flying sword is flying too fast and I can't stand steadily," wrapped her arms around her senior sister's waist and was enjoying a private moment with her.

The tranquility was suddenly broken, and she immediately became annoyed. Her face fell, and she gave him a disapproving look.

However, this girl also has bright eyes and white teeth, and her pink and delicate skin is so smooth that it looks extremely cute when she pretends to be angry.

Yun Chu'an glanced at her as well. Their eyes met, and involuntarily, the girl recalled the day he had applied medicine to her rectum. She immediately felt a tightness in her buttocks, her face flushed, and she instinctively covered her bottom with her hands. Then she glared at him fiercely.

How infuriating! How hateful!

Not only me, but also my senior sister, were both seen naked by this man. It's outrageous!

She was sulking, and Yun Chuan didn't know what he had done to offend her. Fortunately, Yan Shui was in front of him, so he didn't need to pay much attention to this girl: "Yes, thanks to you for helping me improve my cultivation that night, and Mr. Gao's willingness to give me the Golden Fleece today, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly."

Yan Shui was slightly taken aback, a blush creeping onto her flawless, beautiful face. She couldn't help but recall the intimate and passionate scene of that night, when Hua Caiyan and he had engaged in intense dual cultivation right in front of her, and how her thin veil had become transparent from the slight sweat, revealing her breasts to him…

The more she recalled the enchanting night, the more shy she became. She lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye: "That was all I should do, you don't need to be so polite."

Behind her, Dongfang Yue glared at Yun Chuan, baring her teeth in anger, like an angry kitten hissing at him.

Although their polite exchanges seemed normal, they were clearly referring to the night he saw his senior sister naked!

This man, he really is still thinking about his senior sister's health, and he still remembers what happened that night!

Don't write it down! Forget it!

She wished she could knock him unconscious with her eyes and make him lose his memory, but unfortunately, none of the people present cared about her little emotions at that moment.

To cover up her embarrassment, Yan Shui quickly turned her head and asked who the person next to him was.

Chapter 257 Taking a bath together?

Yun Chu'an routinely reported the Jin Kingdom princess's public identity, saying that she was Mr. Gao from the capital, the one who spoke up for me that day.

Dongfang Yue suddenly remembered that this Gao Tianci was the one she had guessed might be an important member of the princess's delegation, and very likely a secret agent of the imperial palace.

Moreover, according to Hua Caiyan, this gentleman is very likely a woman disguised as a man, and may even be Princess Sheng Linglong of Jin herself!

Of course, the guess that "it is the princess herself" is too absurd, at least Dongfang Yue is skeptical. But as things stand, it seems certain that this person is a high-ranking official in the Jin Kingdom.

Ahead, Sheng Linglong appeared poised and confident, like a true young master from a prestigious family. He expressed his admiration for Yan Shuiyi without showing any unease befitting a subordinate—even though he was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

If he hadn't guessed her true identity, Yun Chu'an would probably have just thought that this person was knowledgeable and had an extraordinary demeanor. But now that he knew the truth, he just wanted to laugh inwardly, but remained calm and quietly enjoyed her performance.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yan Shui glanced at the two of them and saw that Yun Chu'an was covered in sweat. She suddenly felt a pang of sympathy and continued, "You are both eager to hone your skills, but it's not like you can't get anything here either."

Yun Chu'an's expression shifted: "Oh? In this vast desert, there are still places to resupply?"

Dongfang Yue immediately smiled: "Of course, the senior brothers have already inquired about it. Actually, this desert is not all dangerous. There are also oases deliberately set up by the Black Bull King to give those trial participants a breathing space."

"Of course, whether you can discern the subtle clues hidden in this desert, overcome numerous dangers and difficulties, and finally find the location of the oasis depends on your own abilities—oh, I think this should also be the Black Bull King's test."

She said this, then shook her head: "Unfortunately, with the summaries of many trial participants, these experiences have been almost all shared."

Yun Chu'an understood and nodded slightly, thinking to himself that it seemed that his two senior brothers, Feng Jian and Lao Wen, were quite reliable; they had indeed found out reliable information.

Although it's highly likely that they did it by sending money and... well, never mind, let's keep this secret for them.

As he was pondering this, Yan Shuiyi suddenly spoke up again from ahead: "Perfect timing. Actually, Dongfang Yue and I just saw traces of an oasis, but we didn't go in because of the sandstorm."

"Since you two are so tired, why don't you come with us to rest there?"

Yun Chu'an naturally wouldn't refuse, but Dongfang Yue's face fell slightly.

No, senior sister, that's the little oasis we discovered. I wanted to spend some quality time with you there!

She muttered to herself, looking at Yun Chu'an with a hostile gaze, thinking to herself, "If you dare to agree, you're dead."

Yun Chu'an had naturally noticed the girl's strange gaze long ago, thinking to himself that this woman was truly troublesome. He then shook his head, refusing, "Thank you for your kindness, but no need, the two of us..."

Yan Shui stepped forward, looking at his sweaty appearance with displeasure: "You don't need to be so polite with me. It's just a small oasis. Come on, I'll take you for the rest of the way, and we'll travel together."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at the princess of Jin: "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Gao Tianci?"

Sheng Linglong's eyes also flickered. She looked at Yan Shuiyi, this proud young man who could kill a Golden Core cultivator with only Foundation Establishment cultivation. She felt that she should ask Yan Shuiyi's opinion on many things. This seemed to be a good opportunity, so she said, "I think it's feasible. Brother Yun, let's go."

As she spoke, she looked at Yun Chu'an with her beautiful eyes. Her intuition told her that there was something else behind Dongfang Yue's murderous aura, but she couldn't figure it out for the time being.

Yun Chu'an glanced at Dongfang Yue again and chuckled, "Ah, well then, I can't refuse such kindness, so I'll gladly accept."

Dongfang Yue gritted her teeth secretly, but unfortunately, she had to appear dignified and elegant in front of her senior sister, and she couldn't think of a good reason to refuse.

Damn it, this is such a rare moment of alone time between me and my senior sister...

Regardless of her mood at the moment, Yan Shuiyi had already made up her mind. She chanted an incantation and flew on her sword, making the three of them stand on it. She then flew them at low altitude towards the oasis.

After Yan Shuiyi's flying sword grew larger, although it seemed to have no guardrails, it was actually extremely stable when flying. On it, the law of inertia seemed to not exist. Even when flying at high speed, he felt as if he were walking on flat ground, without any sign of shaking or falling.

They flew and chatted along the way. Sheng Linglong was very interested in Yan Shuiyi. With her superb conversation skills, she easily steered the conversation and asked her many questions about the Qingyun Sect.

The latter was caught off guard and spoke frankly. Yun Chu'an listened attentively without uttering a word, gaining a general understanding of the behemoth that was the Qingyun Sect.

Before long, they approached the oasis in the mouth of the misty water. It was clearly created by someone using magic, completely out of place with the surrounding yellow sand. Towering ancient green trees provided a large area of ​​shade, the air inside was cool and dry, and the concentration of spiritual energy was extremely high, everything was quite abundant.

Clearly, all of this was deliberately orchestrated by the creators of the Trial Realm, the Black Bull King, who intended to use these oases as treasures and rewards within this trial space.

Normally, the trial participants should have gone through countless hardships, endured the pain of high temperatures and yellow sand, solved puzzles, and defeated enemies before they could discover this area with great joy. But unfortunately, because of Yan Shuiyi's enthusiasm, this place was almost enjoyed by Yun Chuan and others without any cost.

They landed on the outskirts of the forest. Yan Shui put away her flying sword, turned to look at them, and smiled: "Let's go in and see what the Black Bull King has prepared for us."

The princess of Jin showed a momentary look of displeasure, but she quickly regained her composure, maintaining a polite smile and nodding slightly: "Well, let's go. Hopefully, what's inside won't disappoint us."

As she spoke, she followed closely behind, stepping into the forest. Yun Chu'an and Dongfang Yue also followed, the latter taking a few quick steps, holding Yan Shuiyi's hand, and walking forward together.

After going deeper, a clearing appeared ahead, a huge space surrounded by several massive rocks, from which steam rose.

Dongfang Yue's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but point ahead: "Senior sister, a hot spring!"

As she spoke, her gaze swept further into the distance. Through several large trees, she could see another similar open space in the distance: "There are a few more over there!"

She quickened her pace, walked to the nearby hot spring, leaned over the rocks, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

A rich medicinal aroma wafted over, and the girl couldn't help but laugh: "This Black Bull King really went to great lengths, afraid that the trial participants wouldn't know that this was a place for them to rest, so he deliberately soaked them in the hot spring with medicine."

As she spoke, she turned to look back at Yan Shui Yi, her expression eager: "Senior sister, shall we take a dip here?"

Yan Shui declined, saying, "I don't need it. I don't need much. If you're tired, you can just go in and soak for a bit."

After a pause, she added, "If you're not tired, let's go out and let Fellow Daoist Yun and the others soak and rest here."

She was indeed not tired. Her cultivation was profound, and she had already reached the Golden Core stage. Even though the environment in the desert was harsh, she did not actually suffer any exertion.

Dongfang Yue, under her protection, didn't suffer any losses. But at this moment, the girl grabbed Yan Shuiyi's hand and said sweetly, "There are two hot springs here. They can soak in that one over there, and we can soak in this one. Isn't it the same?"

Chapter 258 Bathing with the Princess (A long chapter of 7,000 words)

At this moment, Dongfang Yue felt somewhat fortunate that Yun Chu'an was also here. Since men and women are different, if he wanted to woo someone, he would have to go to the one further away, leaving this place for the two girls.

If the two of them weren't there, Yan Shuiyi would probably have taken a bath by herself and sent her to another hot spring.

"Oh, senior sister, this is a rare opportunity! Who says you can't soak in a hot spring if you're not tired? Come on!"

Although according to Hua Caiyan, there was a very high probability that Gao Tianci was a woman disguised as a man, Dongfang Yue still had doubts because she herself was not capable of seeing through it.

Moreover, at this moment, she was so eager to bathe with Yanshui that she couldn't care less about anything else. Whether or not to soak in that hot spring in the distance was up to the two of them to decide!

As she urged him on, she saw Yan Shui hesitate, looking at Yun Chu'an: "Fellow Daoist, you two..."

Sheng Linglong hesitated for a moment. She never expected that she would actually encounter the greatest difficulty of dressing as a woman!

This is a bit tricky...

If I don't go for a date, there's a risk of exposure; but if I do go for a date, I'm just an unmarried girl...

She hesitated, still thinking about how to decline, but unexpectedly, Yun Chu'an waved his hand first and declined, saying, "No need, no need, I'll just meditate and rest for a while, that's enough. You can soak if you want, don't worry about me."

Are you kidding me? Let him take a bath with the princess of Jin?

Given how conservative this world is, does he even need his head anymore?

He dared not agree; it would be wise to refuse first. This immediately made Dongfang Yue anxious: "Why aren't you taking a bath? Why are you being so polite with us? You're clearly the one in the worst condition and the one who needs a bath the most!"

That's the truth. Princess Jin and Yan Shuiyi have higher cultivation levels. Dongfang Yue was protected by Yan Shuiyi throughout the entire process. Although Yun Chuan has his own unique methods to avoid the damage from the high temperature in the desert, he is still far from being able to compete with the three of them. He is the one who needs rest the most.

So now Dongfang Yue was perfectly justified, pointing to the hot spring in the distance: "Go over there quickly!"

She was really anxious. She was afraid that someone would say they didn't need to soak, and then Yan Shuiyi would also say that she didn't need to soak either. If that happened, all her plans would fall through!

only……

Yun Chu'an wore a bitter expression, thinking to himself that Dongfang Yue was not unaware that "Gao Tianci" was a fake identity. Hua Caiyan had already told her that this person was actually a woman!

What the hell are you doing here, stirring up trouble?!

His face showed extreme distress, yet he couldn't tell the girl the truth. He hesitated, still making a last, but feeble, resistance: "This... I really don't need it..."

However, his appearance surprised the Jin princess. She was unaware that Yun Chu'an had seen through her identity, and so she couldn't help but wonder to herself.

Why is this person so resistant to the idea of ​​"bathing with Gao Tianci"?

We should have become pretty good friends before...

Is it possible...

Looking at the small hot spring pool in front of her, suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her.

Is he the kind of person who is extremely averse to and disgusted by having private contact with men?

Sheng Linglong's current level of cultivation is proof of her intelligence and wit. The strict royal rules cannot confine her; she has her own methods to obtain "filthy and vulgar" information.

For example, she knew that several noblemen in the capital had homosexual tendencies, but at the same time she also knew that many men were extremely disgusted with the same sex. They could make friends on a daily basis, but they were extremely averse to being honest with each other.

Women are made of water, and men are made of mud; therefore, women are fragrant, while men are foul-smelling—this saying is regarded as a golden rule by these people and guides their behavior.

The princess of Jin's eyes darted around, her gaze sweeping over Yun Chu'an.

Could it be that he's that kind of man too? On the surface, he treats "Brother Gao Tianci" with the respect due to a gentleman, but deep down he doesn't want to bathe with "him" at all?

Hehe, that makes things interesting.

At first, when Dongfang Yue urged her to take a bath, she was a little flustered and thought about what excuse she could come up with to refuse.

But now, seeing that Yun Chu'an was also flustered, she was not flustered at all.

Haha, you're the one who's more nervous!

She relaxed, and then her playful side kicked in. She immediately felt the urge to tease this new friend whom she admired.

"Brother Yun!" she said loudly, "You really need to take a good bath and rest."

"Come on, let's go together. I can even help you scrub your back!"

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth almost couldn't hold back, and she couldn't help but curl them upwards, revealing an expression that looked like a mischievous smile.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an stiffened, then his eyes widened involuntarily.

No, Your Highness, what did you say?

Will you help me scrub my back?

He could hardly believe his eyes, wondering what this woman was up to. Beside him, Yan Shuiyi was equally puzzled, while Dongfang Yue was quite delighted: "That's right! Let's go, you two grown men should hurry up and leave, don't keep us sisters from taking a bath!"

As she said this, subconsciously she also made a judgment about Gao Tianci's identity: this man was definitely not, as Hua Caiyan said, a woman disguised as a man, the princess of Jin!

If she were truly a princess, she would definitely respect her status and would never bathe with other men.

Hmph, Hua Caiyan is still no match for me. Her conjecture is too audacious!

She was thinking this, but the phrase "big man" reminded Yun Chu'an and led his thoughts to another direction.

Princess, could it be that this is to conceal your identity, and that's why you're putting aside the differences between men and women and taking the initiative to bathe with me?

that……

Fine, since she's confident she can cover it up, I'll just play along.

He suppressed the nervousness that made his scalp tingle, met Sheng Linglong's excited gaze, gritted his teeth, nodded, and said, "Alright then, let's go over there and soak for a bit!"

His changing expressions were clearly seen by the latter, which made the woman even more delighted. She was now in a state of excitement, like two close friends teasing and rubbing it in at each other; the more Yun Chu'an was in pain, the happier she became.

She pulled Yun Chu'an along, walking through the woods to another hot spring. Yan Shui watched them walk away, and only after they were far away did she ask hesitantly, "Yueyue, why did you let them both go to the hot spring together? Didn't Miss Caiyan say last time that 'Gao Tianci' was actually a woman disguised as a man?"
