Chapter 149 The Iceberg Magic Spring
Because of his kisses, the medicine fragrance on the man’s body became distinct and reached to Hua Qiyue’s heart. Hua Qiyue felt as though seeing a vibrant field of medicine, filled with all kinds of rare flowers and herbs, and butterflies flying and the wind blowing gently.
Hua Qiyue was intoxicated by the smell.
Suddenly, she trembled slightly. She was turned on by the man, feeling a little hot.
Yun Shimo’s kisses gave her tenderness, passion, fantasy and intoxication…
However, Hua Qiyue almost choked on the crazy kisses. When he finally released her, Hua Qiyue turned her head and gasped.
She dared not let him see her flushed face. Now her passions were clearly aroused. Nothing could hide the intoxication in her eyes.
Yun Shimo licked his lips. This woman was getting better and better. When he saw her delicate lips or found that she was on the edge of rage, he wanted to kiss her.
He didn’t care if it was improper for a man and a woman to be so close to each other. All he knew was that he wanted her and was anxious to get married soon.
“I’ll let it go. We’ll be married soon. By then you’ll owe me, while I’ll own you nothing.”
Hua Qiyue looked back in shock, her watery eyes wide. “What? Why will I owe you?”
Yun Shimo’s deep eyes looked pretty, showing a cool and refreshing breath.
He reached over to straighten her slightly disheveled hair, with appealing smell. “I’m going to feed our family while you’re going to enjoy life, so you’ll owe me.”
Hua Qiyue, amused and angry at his words, took his hand off her head. Yun Shimo raised his eyebrows when he saw that she was going to be angry again, and said, “Hey, are you going to be angry again? You seem to be growing narrow-minded.”
“Whether I am narrow-minded or not is none of your business. Yun Shimo, I didn’t ask you to marry me.” Hua Qiyue summoned her spiritual energy to her hand, shook his hand off and strode out. Yun Shimo reached out, but only grabbed her dress.
“Where are you going?”
“Humph, I’ll take Huangfu Xuan’s carriage!” Hua Qiyue was really cross. The man was always so calm and collected. She wanted to find a man to annoy him.
Yun Shimo’s face darkened, and he came to her quickly like lightning. Hua Qiyue, who had just lifted the curtain, was carried back in his arms.
Hua Qiyue wanted to scream, but she didn’t want anyone outside to hear what was happening inside. At this moment, she was really surprised and furious. If she knew this was going to happen, she would have been in Princess Mingzhu’s carriage with Lv Xin and Youshui.
“Hua Qiyue, it’s not a good habit to attract other men. If you don’t change it, you’ll die a horrible death.”
“Then I would rather die a horrible death!” Hua Qiyue contradicted him, which made the look in Yun Shimo’s eyes completely sullen.
The look on his face also turned icy. He narrowed his eyes and grimly reached out to squeeze Hua Qiyue’s chin.
Hua Qiyue flushed with anger, and even her earlobes were pink. She also looked charming while frowning, arousing men’s impulse to enjoy her beauty.
Hua Qiyue reached out both hands in a cold manner to grasped Yun Shimo’s hand which grasped her as tight as tongs, trying to pull it away.
But the hand looked as if having been rooted and fixed, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not open it or push it away. She was about to speak when the man unexpectedly moved his face closer to hers.
His soft lips were again attached to hers, and then, with some imperious clumsiness, it went through her beautiful mouth and ran wild in it. Hua Qiyue’s body went limp again. She fought back the inexplicable impulse in her body, but could not help trembling slightly.
Yun Shimo immediately left her lips and looked lightly at her red face. Her cheeks were as red as a strong rosy cloud, and even her neck was pink.
She was like a shy peach blossom, looking delicate and pink, and making Yun Shimo want to pick down.
“Well, didn’t you say you were going to Huangfu Xuan’s carriage? Can you walk now that you are so weak? Shall I take you there?” Yun Shimo interrupted Hua Qiyue’s intoxication with an ironic sound. She suddenly came to her senses and pushed Yun Shimo away.
“I’ll… go myself!” Hua Qiyue gritted her teeth, but the man held her back, leering and laughing.
“Hua Qiyue, you are like a child. You are not mature at all.”
“You…”
“Ahem, sorry to interrupt your romance. I smell the Iceberg Magic Spring. I’ll have a look. Don’t wait for me!”
The curtain was lifted, and the hare’s red eyes flashed by, and then Bingyi’s voice sounded.
“Your Highness, the hare has gone south.”
Yun Shimo immediately let go of Hua Qiyue and went outside. He really saw the hare rushing toward the woods to the south at a great speed.
“Stop, wait for us by the big tree ahead,” Yun Shimo ordered, and then he reached out his hand and pulled Hua Qiyue forcibly out of the carriage.
“Hey, where are you taking me?” Cried Hua Qiyue. Huangfu Xuan poked his head out of the carriage too. When he saw Yun Shimo heading south with Hua Qiyue, he hesitated, wondering if he should follow them.
However, when he thought that they were engaged, Huangfu Xuan had to only quietly watch them walk into the woods.
Lv Xin and Youshui looked at each other, with an ambiguous look. Then they kept shaking their heads, and sighed, “Looks like Miss and His Highness really can’t wait. Tut, tut, this is the wild…”
The two maidservants blushed at the thought. The next moment Bingyi threw a glance at them, and they quickly dropped the curtain.
…
Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue went out into the woods by the road. Then they really found a small pool.
The pool was steaming cold. In such a hot weather, it made people want to dive in and enjoy the cool.
The hare squatted beside the pool, his eyes shining, and cried excitedly, “It’s really the Iceberg Magic Spring. Yes, that’s the smell!”
“Senior, what is Iceberg Magic Spring?” Hua Qiyue asked, puzzled, as she walked to the edge of the pool.
“The Iceberg Magic Spring is produced by the iceberg’s divine power of more than 10,000 years ago. The magic spring is rare, and icebergs are so difficult to climb that a Qi Artist who is below the Round Sun Level could never climb them. And there will only be a drop of Iceberg Magic Spring a day. So it’s a surprise to have so many of it. It’s like a dream!” Said the hare, with a grave look in his eyes.
Gingerly, he reached out his paw and touched the water, feeling a chill. “It feels very much like Iceberg Magic Spring!” He announced.
“This place is so isolated. If Iceberg Magic Spring really acquires a lot of conditions to form, we have to be careful with this pool of Iceberg Magic Spring!” Yun Shimo said matter-of-factly.
Hua Qiyue shook off Yun Shimo’s hand and squatted down to observe. The water was clear to the bottom, and there were only small rocks at the bottom with nothing suspicious.
But the spring was cold, and wisps of cold continuously steamed in the sun.
It was a hot summer, but as soon as they came here, they felt the chill all over their bodies, as if they was in winter.
It really felt like being in that lotus pond.
“Hum, no matter if it is Iceberg Magic Spring, I am not afraid!” Uttered the hare. Then he jumped up and dived into the pool. “Wow, how comfortable! How comfortable! The anima energy is so rich, wow…” He shouted as he swam.
The hare squinted and enjoyed in the pool. His enjoyment got on Hua Qiyue’s nerves, and she suddenly wanted to go into the spring, too.
“This spring is not simple. Don’t go into the water!” Yun Shimo warned tersely. He was crouching down to see what was going on, when Hua Qiyue, unwilling to obey his orders and trying to go against him, jumped into the pool with a splash. The white water splashed on Yun Shimo’s face.
Yun Shimo twitched his mouth and quietly looked at Hua Qiyue, who was enjoying the spring comfortably.
Hua Qiyue just felt the cool wrapped her, driving away all the annoying heat. It was really cool and comfortable.
The spring was cool but not cold. Hua Qiyue didn’t understand why it felt so cold on the bank, but felt so comfortable when she was in it.
“Get in the water, boy. It’s so comfortable… There are so many anima energy in this spring. The amount of anima energy you absorb in 15 minutes here is as much as you would absorb in a year elsewhere!” Cried the hare.
Yun Shimo shook his head helplessly. He dipped his hand into the spring and felt it cool, not cold.
The spring was suddenly muddled by Hua Qiyue, and nothing could be seen under the water. Yun Shimo stood leisurely on the bank, watching the blush recede from Hua Qiyue’s pretty little face. Her hair and clothes were all wet.
“She really does not care about the situation. She has no idea that she will come ashore all wet a while later. If anyone see this embarrassing situation…” Yun Shimo was displeased at the thought.
“What are you looking at? Yun Shimo, are you too scared to come down here? Hum! Let me enjoy myself. Tsk, tsk, how comfortable!” Hua Qiyue sighed as she washed her face.
Wisps of cool air rose and then steamed. Hua Qiyue’s body was full of strength because of the divine essence contained in the spring.
At that moment, however, Hua Qiyue felt a sharp pain in the soles of her feet. With a start, she darted out of the water and landed on the bank in an instant!
The hare was surprised and jumped up quickly. The spring actually was gradually shrinking, then disappearing in a flash, leaving only a large hole.
“Ice Venomous Insect!” Yun Shimo called in an icy voice. He forced Hua Qiyue to the ground and immediately took off her shoes. The hare let out a cry, and turned his head away from Hua Qiyue’s beautiful feet.
In the Tianyuan Continent, once a man saw a woman’s feet, he had to take her as his wife or concubine.
Feeling the pain of her feet, Hua Qiyue knew there was fraud in the water, and she was too embarrassed to resist Yun Shimo.
After her shoes were taken off, Yun Shimo saw that there was a small blood hole in the soles of her feet. “It’s the Ice Venomous Insect!” He stated grimly.
Hua Qiyue’s face darkened. She sensed something growing on the bottom of her feet and then turned into a jet of air that spread through her body. She could not even restrain its spread with anima energy!
As the air spread, the pain turned Hua Qiyue pale.
“Don’t move. We must find a quiet place. There’d better be a fire!” Yun Shimo stated frigidly, “Hare, keep watch for us. Don’t let anyone disturb us!”
Then he carried Hua Qiyue into the woods ahead and disappeared.
The hare gave a cold snort and said, “When did I become these ordinary people’s guard? Humph!”
Nevertheless, he still obediently lay prone on the spot, feebly staring straight ahead. Its red eyes reflected the slanting sunset. At this time, the sky was full of rosy clouds. It was a pleasant scenery.
