Xiang Shaoyun fled in panic. The two exotic girls were too scary. When he reached the gathering spot, he patted his chest, still scarred by what he had just experienced.
"Xiang Shaoyun, what's wrong with you? Are your injuries from the limit rooms still bothering you?" asked Li Yaxuan.
After catching his breath, Xiang Shaoyun replied, "I'm fine. I'm just feeling a bit nauseated, that's all."
Xiang Shaoyun finally got the chance to look around and was stunned to find that there were already a few hundred people gathered.
"The Land of Soul Springs will only open once every 10 years. Both overseers and disciples like us won't want to miss out on this. Therefore, we are all gathering here to set off together. Of course, we will go our separate ways when we arrive. You will remain with us from the Red House," said Li Yaxuan as if she had read the doubt in Xiang Shaoyun's mind.
Xiang Shaoyun finally realized that this was actually a group activity of the Cloud Margin Pavilion.
Looks like this Land of Soul Springs is not as simple as a place with soul springs. There are probably other treasures to be found there as well, thought Xiang Shaoyun to himself. He suddenly sensed several sharp gazes landing on him, with two of them carrying a particularly intense pressure.
When he looked over, he found a purple-haired young man staring at him with a pair of purple eyes as imposing as two bolts of lightning, which made it very hard to look straight into his eyes. A battle intent surged out of the young man; it was so intense even the people around him noticed.
Xiang Shaoyun met the gaze unyieldingly. A calm smile hung on his face, as if he was merely greeting an old friend, completely disregarding the pressure from that pair of eyes.
Interesting, remarked the purple-haired young man inwardly.
Xiang Shaoyun was able to guess the young man's identity, but he did not seem to care. He then looked in a different direction. There, a man of about 30 years old stood with a handsome smile on his face. He looked simple and honest and was dressed in a sleeveless garment that revealed his explosively muscular arms. He was a handsome man that almost reeked of testosterone.
Similar to the purple-haired young man, this man was looking at Xiang Shaoyun with a gaze filled with provocation as well. But he was able to hide his battle intent much better as he had only revealed it for a split second.
Interesting, thought Xiang Shaoyun.
Compared to the first young man, this man gave him an even stronger pressure. But both of them had successfully triggered the battle-lust in him as well.
At this time, a melodic voice rang out in his ears, "The man in the sleeveless garment is Liang Zhuangmin's senior brother, and he is also the society master of the Free Society. He is the one who had single-handedly ensured that the Free Society members were not split clean between us of the Red House and the Lightning Alliance."
Xiang Shaoyun turned around and found that a beauty had suddenly appeared near him and Li Yaxuan. This beauty was not as tall as Li Yaxuan, neither were her legs as seductive. But she had an extremely adorable face and a bountiful pair of peaks that looked like they were going to burst out of her cloth at any moment. Anyone looking at her would be drawn in uncontrollably.
As a normal and healthy young man, when Xiang Shaoyun saw that pair of lethal peaks, he couldn't help exclaiming, "So big!"
"Is that so? Do you want to feel them?" asked the beauty seriously.
"Ye—oh, uhm, no, of course not. I am not a pervert," Xiang Shaoyun quickly caught himself and changed what he was about to say.
He might be claiming that he was no pervert, but his eyes never left the two peaks. That was already an incredibly shameless display. Even more surprising was that the beauty did not mind at all. Her eyes shone with an odd glint instead.
"Cough, cough. Xiang Shaoyun, this is the big sister of the Red House, Hua Honglou," introduced Li Yaxuan, feeling incredibly embarrassed by Xiang Shaoyun's behavior. She wanted to pretend she didn't know him, but she had to make an introduction.
"Big sister? Hua Honglou?" Xiang Shaoyun muttered in confusion. He then looked at the beauty and said, "You are the master of the Red House? Yes, you indeed have a chest wide enough to contain the world. Not bad at all!"
"You are very brave, but still not brave enough to act in accordance to your desires. If you want to cup a feel, just come. I don't mind," said Hua Honglou boldly.
The people around them heard her as well. The female disciples all reacted by looking at her in admiration while the male disciples were all stealing glances at the pair of bountiful peaks while drooling like hungry pigs.
These people were even worse than Xiang Shaoyun in terms of not being brave enough to act in accordance with their desires; they only dared to steal glances at the peaks, unlike Xiang Shaoyun who was openly staring at them.
With a toying look, Xiang Shaoyun replied, "I'm afraid my hands won't be big enough to cup them. Forget it."
"Oh? Looks like I have still overestimated..." said Hua Honglou provocatively.
But before she could finish her words, a hand suddenly rested on her chest. The palm even gave her chest a pinch, causing her mind to go blank. Beside them, Li Yaxuan, Chen Zilong, and the other Red House members all opened their mouths wide in shock, their eyes nearly popping out of their eye sockets.
"Not bad. They are real, not stuffed," concluded Xiang Shaoyun after removing his hand. The people around him all staggered.
Anger covered Hua Honglou's face as she said, "Do you know the consequences of doing what you just did?"
"Oh? I thought you're the one who told me to have a feel? What consequences do I need to suffer?" asked Xiang Shaoyun doubtfully. "Fine, I will let you touch me as well. That will make us even, right?"
"Sure, I'll have a feel as well," answered Hua Honglou before sending her palm straight to Xiang Shaoyun's chest.
Her tender hand was shining brightly. It was obvious this was a palm with an incredibly destructive force. Xiang Shaoyun could sense how terrifying the incoming palm was, but he did not dodge and allowed the palm to land.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out. It was obvious she was not holding back at all. Even Li Yaxuan started worrying for Xiang Shaoyun. No matter what, he was a helper she had invited. If a conflict were to arise, it would affect their cooperation.
But even after taking the palm head on, Xiang Shaoyun still stood firmly, as if the palm had not hit him at all.
"Ok. Now we're even," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
Hua Honglou withdrew her hand and smiled. "Ok. We're even."
It was at this moment that an elder arrived and announced that they were going to now set off to the Land of Soul Springs.
