216: Chapter 61: Tears of the Volcano (Part 3)_1 216: Chapter 61: Tears of the Volcano (Part 3)_1 Under the guidance of the attendants, Ye Yinzhu quickly experienced what it was like to receive VIP service.
What’s the mode of transportation in the mountains?
It’s something ordinary people wouldn’t have.
However, they were seated on a specially made bamboo slide.
The slide, made of bamboo, took advantage of the elasticity and flexibility of the bamboo.
Two attendants were assigned to each passenger.
Sitting on the swaying slide was extremely fortable, saving them from the strenuous task of walking.
Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but exclaim, “The people of the Milan Empire really know how to enjoy themselves.”
The mountain was not high, at least pared to the peaks in the Burna Mountain Range.
In a short while, the attendants carried them to the halfway point on the mountainside.
“Look, look over there,” Xiang Luan pointed downhill, and following the direction of her finger, Ye Yinzhu saw an unusual sight.
Steaming mist rose from the mountain, faintly revealing a small lake, about a hundred meters in diameter, beneath it.
The lake’s surface was peaceful, akin to a colossal natural green gemstone.
The blue sky reflected against it, creating an indescribably striking and captivating scene.
“What’s that?” Ye Yinzhu asked in surprise.
Xiang Luan explained, “That’s Tianquan.
If we wanted to go there, we should have taken a different path after entering the mountain.
From what I see, there aren’t many people visiting today, not many around Tianquan at least.
Its temperature is slightly lower than the Holy Spring’s, remaining around 38 degrees year-round, even in winter.
It’s magical, isn’t it?”
Ye Yinzhu exclaimed, “Indeed, it is magical.
I’ve never soaked in a hot spring before.
I didn’t expect such a wonderful place.”
“Hot springs themselves are very magical,” Xiang Luan said, “No one knows why they were formed, but they’re very beneficial to the body, especially the skin.
We girls should soak ourselves more often.
Of course, for people like you and Sura who practice martial skills, soaking in hot springs also has its benefits.
It’s said that cultivating Douqi in hot springs can achieve results twice as fast with half the effort.
But not many hot springs are really suitable.
The Tianquan and Holy Spring, of course, are the best among hot springs, the Holy Spring especially.
We’re about to get there very soon.
You’ll be even more astonished when you see the Holy Spring.”
Xiang Luan was right.
When they saw the Holy Spring in front of them, Ye Yinzhu and Sura were stunned by the unusual scenery.
The location of the Holy Spring was surprisingly more than two hundred meters higher in altitude than Tianquan.
It was about fifty meters in diameter.
Unlike Tianquan, the water of the Holy Spring was pletely red.
Its brilliant color was like an ancient ruby, reserved yet noble.
As it was situated at the highest point of the mountain, the surrounding open space gave a magnificent feeling that was truly exhilarating, even if you were just standing beside the spring.
Coupled with the dense, lingering steam, everything around seemed blurred.
After getting off the bamboo slide, Haiyang approached Ye Yinzhu and gave him a glance, saying, “The Holy Spring, also known as the Tears of the Volcano, has a temperature above forty-five degrees.
Actually, it feels even better in winter.
The bination of white snow and red water is a luxury that many nobles adore.”
Xiang Luan approached Haiyang, took her hand, and said, “Let’s go change, I can’t wait to soak in it.
We need to have a good long soak today.” Saying this, she was about to lead Haiyang away.
“Wait, wait a minute.” Sura suddenly rushed to stop the two girls.
Xiang Luan asked, puzzled, “What’s the matter?”
In a low voice, Sura asked, “There’s only one pool for the hot spring here, aren’t you girls going to share it with us?
That would be really inappropriate.”
Xiang Luan giggled, “You seem to be more worried than Yin Zhu.
Relax, even though both genders share the pool here, you shouldn’t expect to see even an inch of our skin.” Before Sura could ask more, she had already taken Haiyang’s hand and ran off laughing.
Sura turned to look at Ye Yinzhu, who was also looking at him, “Yin Zhu, can I, can I not soak?”
Ye Yinzhu asked in surprise, “Why not?
We’re already here, let’s soak together.
It’ll feel really good.
e on, let’s go change.”
Under the guidance of the attendants, Ye Yinzhu and a somewhat agitated Sura arrived at the men’s changing room.
There seemed to be only the four of them visiting that day.
Everything inside the changing room seemed to be carved from stone.
Although not glamorous, it was quite unique.
The attendants brought two large trays to the two, “Sirs, do you need assistance to change clothes?”
Before Ye Yinzhu could speak, Sura hurriedly replied, “No need, we can change ourselves.” He clearly breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the tray in front of him.
The tray contained two red robes, which were visibly large and felt soft like towels to the touch.
They had an open front and came with a waist belt.
Looking at Ye Yinzhu, Sura said, “Let’s hurry and change our clothes then.” While saying so, he quickly picked up a tray and rushed into a nearby changing stall.
Ye Yinzhu wondered why Sura, who initially didn’t want to soak, was suddenly so eager now.
He also took his robe to another changing stall to get changed.
Storing his own clothes was simple, he just put them into the Space Ring to avoid any chance of losing them.
The red robe felt light and its material was incredibly airy and soft.
Once the waist belt was fastened, it was just like Xiang Luan had described, revealing not a single inch of skin.
So this was how both genders could share the hot springs, while wearing such conservative clothing.
How thoughtful.
When Ye Yinzhu came out from the dressing room, Sura had already been waiting for him.
Wearing a red bathrobe, Sura seemed even more refined and radiant, he looked down and said, “Let’s go.”
Xiang Luan and Haiyang were quicker than expected, The two ladies were already waiting there when Ye Yinzhu and Sura came out.
Their stunning figures could hardly be hidden by the large red bathrobes, and the thought of what might be under the robes made Ye Yinzhu blush.
“I’m getting in the water.” Xiang Luan announced as she came out, not caring about appearing ladylike.
With a light leap, she dived in, causing a splash of red water.
She immediately stirred up a more intense cloud of steam.
Haiyang was still wearing her white veil on her face.
She was much gentler as she slowly stepped into the hot spring from the stairs.
Seeing the two women already in the water, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but reveal a wicked smile.
Suddenly, he grabbed Sura by the waist and without giving him a chance to react, threw him into the hot spring.
“Ah–” Sura screamed as he plunged into the water, there was a sudden upsurge of steam, causing a burst of giggles from Haiyang and Xiang Luan, who were not far away.
“Ye Yinzhu, you’re dead!” Sura’s angry voice echoed from the hot spring.
Ye Yinzhu chuckled and quickly slipped into the water, hiding away behind the steam.
The forty-five degree hot spring was warmer than the human body.
The warm water seemed to have a special energy.
Bathing in the hot springs was refreshing and fortable.
Ye Yinzhu fully immersed his body in the hot spring, only his head above the water, avoiding Sura’s “revenge”.
At that moment, he felt his hand being held by a soft, warm hand.
He turned his head to find it was Haiyang.
Haiyang’s hands were slender and delicate.
The first time he saw her playing the zither, Ye Yinzhu noticed her hands.
Now she was voluntarily holding his, and it was in the hot spring, a strange sensation rose up in his heart.
Haiyang said nothing, just held Ye Yinzhu’s hand, leaning quietly against the edge of the spring.
The warmth in her eyes when she looked at Ye Yinzhu seemed to melt his heart.
“Haiyang,” Ye Yinzhu could not help but call out.
Haiyang gave a small smile and shook her head, placing her index finger to her lips in a hushing gesture.
Her eyes were slightly closed as if she was enjoying the warm tranquility.
Her other hand was playfully poking Ye Yinzhu’s reflection in the hot spring water.
The hot spring water was very hot, forting his body and feeling amazingly fortable, but at this time, Ye Yinzhu’s heart was even hotter, pletely enveloped in that silent peculiarity.
Xiang Luan wasn’t far from them but didn’t interrupt.
She just smiled softly as she watched the shy Haiyang.
Her heart held a secret blessing for her dear friend.
“Huh, where’s Sura?” Ye Yinzhu’s mind was filled with warm thoughts until he suddenly remembered Sura who he had tossed into the water.
In this much time, he should have e looking for them, but there was still no sign of him.
Haiyang raised her head, a note of confusion in her eyes, “Yes, where is Sura?
Could he have drowned?
But the hot spring is only waist-deep.”
He released Haiyang’s hand and started looking around anxiously.
Due to the misty steam, visibility in the hot spring was very low.
He propelled the yellow Zhu Douqi from his right palm, dispelling the mist in front of him and revealing the tear of the volcano more clearly.
However, to the surprise of the three of them, there was still no sight of Sura.
“Sura, Sura where are you?” Yinzhu shouted, his voice echoing around the mountaintop creating a faint echo.
There was still no response.
Now even Xiang Luan and Haiyang were starting to get anxious.
She called out, “Waiter, where’s the waiter?” She was shocked to discover that the servants, who should be ready to serve guests at all times, had all disappeared.
It seemed like only the three of them were left.
The hot spring water was still just as hot, but for some reason, Xiang Luan suddenly felt a chill in her heart and instinctively moved closer to Haiyang.
Just then, a splash sounded, and a figure in a red bathrobe like theirs emerged from the spring opposite to them.
Ye Yinzhu hoped it would be Sura, having a joke at their expense.
But he quickly realized something was amiss.
Sura’s hair was black, but the person’s hair who just came out of the water was dark green, and— it was a woman.
