Traveling through the Tenth Emperor's Pass, they traversed thousands upon thousands of li, plunging deep into the Million Mountains until they reached a particular mountain range.
The mountains within the Tenth Emperor's Pass were each towering and immense, extraordinary in their own right. The mountain before them, while also large, appeared quite ordinary at first glance. Yet, the two little beasts suddenly halted ahead.
Because there existed a special barrier there, isolating everything. It was profoundly mysterious. If not for the two little beasts being extraordinary, and if not for Ye Chen being sufficiently powerful, it would have been difficult to detect.
However, it could not stop one man and two little beasts. It was just that the two little beasts suddenly became very cautious, especially Yiyi, who exhaled a seven-colored mystical bubble that landed on that invisible light screen. Flowing with a special power, it silently pierced a small passage just large enough for one person to pass through.
"Little Yueyue, hurry in!" Yiyi called out. The two little beasts, with Ye Chen in tow, whooshed inside.
Within, it was a world apart. There were vast, continuous mountain ranges, immortal mist swirling around, dreamlike and illusory like a paradise.
The two little beasts led Ye Chen to a mountain with a waterfall hanging before it, cascading down the cliff like a silver river descending from the heavens.
Amidst the rising water mist, dreamlike and illusory, sunlight shone upon it, and a rainbow bridge shot forth, spanning both ends, radiant and dazzling in seven colors.
Below the silver waterfall was a jade-green pool, deep and serene, with clear spring water where spiritual fish could be seen swimming happily.
Without a doubt, this was a special small world. Perhaps it couldn't be considered particularly vast, nor was it some special cultivation treasure land. However, it was very hidden and very tranquil. Compared to the tense atmosphere of the Tenth Emperor's Pass and Emperor World, this place seemed much more stable and peaceful, possessing a unique calm.
Just upon arriving here, Ye Chen also smelled a special fragrance, very unique, very particular!
And just as Yiyi had said earlier, this special fragrance gave him a sense of déjà vu.
"Little Yueyue, don't make a sound, just use voice transmission. Following us will be your blessing," the Golden Little Divine Dragon transmitted via voice. The man and two beasts appeared sneaky, like thieves up to no good, which made Ye Chen quite uncomfortable.
But he was also curious. What did the two little beasts bring him here for?
Just as he was pondering and guessing, he saw on the small mountain path beside the silver waterfall, vaguely visible, a graceful figure in white, like a startled swan gliding over, her steps light and agile, also like a fairy treading on waves, ethereal and illusory, giving a dreamlike feeling.
Ye Chen and the two little beasts had long since restrained their auras, merging with heaven and earth, making them difficult to detect in the slightest.
At this moment, a stunningly beautiful woman, like a fairy, suddenly appeared, landing by the pool's edge. A light gauze plain dress wrapped her delicate figure, yet it could hardly conceal the woman's already well-developed and alluringly curvaceous body—her chest full and perky, her buttocks round and pert.
Her willow waist was slender, seemingly so slim it seemed one could encircle it with a single hand. Beneath the plain dress, a pair of long, jade-like legs were revealed, possessing a plump and smooth beauty. Two sections of her arms were exposed to the air, like fine Hetian jade, pinkish-white, delicate and tender, surpassing frost and snow in fairness.
Although her face was covered with a special light veil, there was no doubt this was a peerlessly beautiful fairy-like figure. Even compared to women like Chen'er, Zhao Jingruo, and Yi Wu, she was not the least bit inferior. It was unknown from which power this fairy hailed, possessing such devastating beauty.
However, all of this seemed unimportant now, because at this very moment, this fairy who was not inferior to Chen'er and the others was actually, right before his eyes, slowly removing her light gauze plain dress. A jade body like mutton-fat jade gradually appeared before him, her skin crystalline like jade. Only a thin undergarment covered her perfect delicate form, yet it appeared so temptingly alluring that even a man with a firm heart like Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a sudden thump.
"Do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper!" Ye Chen hurriedly closed his eyes. He only wanted to leave. If the fairy discovered him, he'd be in big trouble.
Moreover, he flicked each of the two little fellows on the head with his finger. What kind of little beasts were these? What kind of fragrance were they smelling that they actually came here to peep at a fairy bathing?
It must have been from spending time with that scoundrel Will recently, corrupting these two innocent little guys.
Yiyi rubbed her head with her little paw, blinking her big black eyes with a look of grievance. "Little Yueyue is the worst. Will said you men like peeping at women bathing the most, said it's what men love."
The Golden Little Divine Dragon also wanted to protest, but Ye Chen glared at him. "Spend less time messing around with that guy from now on."
Even so, the fairy's beauty still made Ye Chen's heart skip a beat. He inadvertently glanced over again and was immediately dumbfounded.
Because it was visible to the naked eye: the fairy immersed her almost completely exposed jade body into the clear spring. Her undergarment became wet, her black hair floating with the water.
She stirred up sparkling splashes, bathing in the jade-green pool. Crystalline water droplets adhered to her fragrant shoulders before falling. Water mist spread out, presenting a stunningly beautiful picture of a fairy emerging from her bath.
Such a beautiful scene would make even an enlightened high monk immediately return to secular life.
Even Ye Chen in the distance couldn't help but stare, somewhat unable to look away.
And at this moment, the woman lightly brushed the water, causing ripples. With a slight pat of her slender hand, a large amount of spring water splashed open, sparkling dots radiating in the mortal world. Her black hair was thoroughly wet, like watery splendor.
Suddenly, the light veil on the woman's face fell, and a corner of a truly peerlessly beautiful visage that could captivate for ages slowly revealed itself. She appeared to be in her twenties, with waterfall-like hair, willow-leaf eyebrows, vermilion lips, a delicate and perky nose, and snow-white skin like congealed fat.
With autumn waters as her spirit and crystal jade as her bones, it was still difficult to describe the fairy's stunning beauty.
However, at this moment, Ye Chen's eyes widened. Not for the fairy's peerless beauty, nor for this picture of a fairy of unparalleled splendor emerging from her bath, but because this woman's face was so familiar.
Crack—
Distracted, he stepped on a stone, making a sudden noise.
"Who's there—"
The fairy on the silver waterfall pool immediately reacted, both startled and furious. Immortal light flashed, covering the fairy's exquisitely moving delicate form. She soared into the sky, her body like drifting catkins, accompanied by immortal mist, like a Nine Heavens fairy drifting over, not partaking of mortal concerns, stunningly beautiful enough to make immortals envious.
She saw Ye Chen and also discovered the two little beasts. She rushed over, and that peerlessly beautiful face was filled with anger, yet it also carried a special charm and allure, making her appear even more captivating.
Only, she was very beautiful and also very powerful, beyond imagination. A sweep of immortal light directly swept towards Ye Chen and the others' direction.
"Stop, it's me!" Ye Chen tore through the immortal light with a move and rushed before the fairy, frowning. "Chen'er, how did you get here!"
