Chapter 195: Undercurrent
Looking at the four ladies talking like old time friends, it was only to this day that Wu Xiaotian found out the fact that the four goddess-like ladies in front of him are much closer than he thought, sure, he notices them nodding and talking to each other way back the time they're in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, but he just never expected that they are this close.
"Anyway, Yu'er, Sister Qing, do you want to come and join us?" amidst peals of harmonious and delightful laughter, Hong Lian invites the purple-haired alluring beauty and the phoenix-like lady, eliciting a nod from the two, who then signals something to the women following them, said women nodding in recognition as they trail behind the group.
Getting a sign of agreement from the two, Wu Xiaotian's group starts moving around the third layer of the Golden Spirit Pool with him on the lead, behind them group of women, separated into two distinct group each of them wearing different uniforms that are near polar opposite to each other, one of the groups wearing extremely revealing clothes while the other group wears a really conservative one.
"By the way, Su Tian, you haven't introduced this little beauty to us yet~~" moving in front and catching up to the immortal-like young man, Zi Yu'er asks while looking at the bubbly young lady beside him, curiously eyeing the girl as this is the first time that she ever saw her.
"Wu Xiaoyao, the guy you're talking to is my dear big brother~" feeling some sort of affinity with the purple-haired alluring lady, Wu Xiaoyao replies with a smile on her face, making Zi Yu'er smile back to her as well.
"Oh my~~ looks really runs on your blood huh~~~ first this handsome face and then this little beauty~~~" Zi Yu'er giggles as she teases, her melodious laughter spreading within the distance, her hands covering the beautiful smile on her face.
"You're overpraising big sis Yu'er, you and big sis Qing are even more beautiful" Wu Xiaoyao said, her genuine thoughts voiced out as she really like how the two newcomers, as well as Hong Lian and Hua Xian'er looks, their appeals that of an ideal woman, she wasn't discouraged though as she knows that her figure just had yet to catch up to them but definitely will, her faith relying on the genetics of her dearest mother.
Hearing the praise, the two ladies face couldn't help but flush, Zi Yu'er turning silent as she didn't quite expect to receive a compliment from the young lady, in the end making Feng Qing the only one who's still able to speak.
"Th-thank you, Xiaoyao…" looking at the bubbly young lady, Feng Qing said with her face still blushing, her mind unable to think of anything else to say, her current expressions prompting Wu Xiaoyao to smile at her.
"Ahem…" amidst the exchange of praises, a voice resounded among them, prompting the only man in the group to look at the origin of the sound, only to find a beautiful lady looking at them with her eyes looking like she has something to say.
"Say, my dear little sister, my Xian'er and Lian'er is beautiful as well right?" knowing what the eyes gazing at him wants, Wu Xiaotian voiced, his words causing the two beautiful ladies to nod in agreement, his younger sister agreeing to his words as well.
"Of course!! Big sis Xian'er and Big sis Lian are also really beautiful women as well!!" Wu Xiaoyao said while nodding her head, all while sending a telepathic message to her older brother.
{Thanks for reminding my dear big brother, I'm afraid something will happen if you don't} the bubbly young lady said while giving a thumbs up to her older brother in her heart.
{Anything that will help you, my dear little sister} the immortal-like young man said before his gaze was abruptly diverted to something else, looking down on a particular island smaller than the rest, making it unoccupied.
Given that there's only a few members in his group and all of them can fit inside the small island, as well as the fact that the other ones from the girls' individual forces can settle to nearby islands, he decided to descend towards it, making this the place of cultivation for their remaining time in the Golden Spirit Pool.
As the group descends towards the area, the other ones following them, precisely the groups following Hua Xian'er, Feng Qing and Zi Yu'er respectively, already starts moving and occupying the islands adjacent to the one they descended to.
Landing on the island, Wu Xiaotian nodded as the weird feeling starts getting stronger, as if there's something with particular affinity to him here, yet this something is so obscure that he had yet to figure it out with his current cultivation, like an itch moving every time he starts scratching it.
'Forget it, given how strong the effect of the third layer is, I think I can breakthrough before the Golden Spirit Pool closes to find whatever is causing this, and if I can't, I can always go back here using Unbounded Spatial Talisman' the immortal-like young man thought to himself before looking at the girls behind him, the five of them also looking at him patiently, as if they're all waiting for some sort of order from him.
"This place is quite good compared to other places, let's cultivate here, no need to worry about intruders, I already spread out my soul power to sense anyone entering within our range" Wu Xiaotian said before smiling, sitting on the ground to prepare cultivating, prompting the other people in the group to follow his lead and start cultivating as well.
Hearing his words, the ladies couldn't help but appreciate his carefulness and concern towards them, this simple action adding another point to him within their minds.
After a few minutes of cultivating within the third layer, Wu Xiaotian felt like the effects that he accumulated from the ambient qi of the Golden Spirit Pool is already more than enough for him to last a session in the Infinite Qi Dimension, prompting him to open up the interface of the [Infinite Qi System] and dive straight to it.
----------
Meanwhile, somewhere else, the news of multiple younger generation members from particular forces being brutally incapacitated already spreads to the point that the forces they came from already heard of it, forcing the elders from these forces to take action, causing people from their places to panic as the movement of this strong forces signifies a certain unrest among the masses.
In a small tavern somewhere, a young-looking man wearing a purple robe sits in front of a tall and broad man bearing a sharp and powerful gaze, carrying a sword on his back.
"That kid is your fucking bastard, do you know how much trouble he causes?! Nearly all of our geniuses in this generation got done in by him!!!" the young-looking man said before crushing the porcelain cup in his hand, the sharp edges of the broken porcelain not leaving even a scratch on his well-maintained skin.
"You're not lecturing me, are you?" the other man said, the authority in his words bearing down heavily on the young-looking man, causing him to bow down in fear as he replies.
"O-of course n-not, why would I?" the young-looking man replied as he thinks to himself how screwed this people will be once the one behind him moves.
'I remember he have beautiful wives right? Hehehe, that man will definitely like good products like that' the young-looking man thought to himself while still looking servile towards the other man.
"We only need some more time, my father prepared something, soon, that thing will be a mere puppet for us to control" the other middle-aged man said with confidence in his face, his heart also secretly angered at the loss of his disciple, as well as the other geniuses produced by his sect.
'You already lived of your free will long enough, any time now, you will be a mere tool for us to control, for us to take over one of the strongest force in the continent' the sharp gaze of the middle-aged man turned into a crescent smile as he walks away and moves to the west, thinking of the fact that his sect is about to be in control of that Heavenly Secret Tower once they take control of a particular young man, his confidence on his father's scheme not even wavering one bit.
