Chapter 1526 - 1459: The Sleazy Duo

"I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the Crocodile Emperor was frightened, quickly nodding and bowing to apologize to the Dragon Phoenix Building lady.

"What's wrong?"

The Dragon Phoenix Building lady mocked.

The Crocodile Emperor said, "Was it wrong for not letting you conquer?"

The Dragon Phoenix Building lady slapped its face and said, "Just say it!"

"I don't know why this place is different from other places?"

"Because this place has existed since a very long, long time ago."

The Crocodile Emperor said.

Lo Qingzhu asked, "Such a miraculous thing, haven't you investigated it?"

"Of course, I have."

"But I've searched every corner here and found nothing suspicious."

The Crocodile Emperor said.

Everyone couldn't help but frown.

The Dragon Phoenix Building lady pondered for a moment and said, "This place must hide some treasure."

"Eh?"

Everybody turned to look at her in unison.

"To be honest, before leaving, my mother told me that in this Divine Sign, whenever you encounter such an unusual place, you must search carefully."

"Because such places often hide a treasure."

The Dragon Phoenix Building lady looked at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang couldn't help but feel moved.

To know.

The mysterious lady had once been to the first layer, so she was naturally quite familiar with the situation here.

Since she said so, it must not be without reason.

Qin Feiyang turned to look at the Crocodile Emperor and asked, "Where's the water source?"

The Crocodile Emperor said, "In the center of this mountain range, there's a lake, and the water source is there."

"There's a lake?"

The Dragon Phoenix Building lady and Lo Qingzhu glanced at each other, their eyes full of joy.

Throughout the journey, they were already drenched in fragrant sweat.

Especially after dealing with fierce crocodiles in the foul-smelling swamp, covered in mud, even they couldn't stand their own scent.

So, they had long wanted to find a place to wash up.

After all, women love beauty.

But without any water, even having a bath became a luxury.

And now, suddenly hearing that there's a lake ahead, they couldn't help but feel excited.

Actually.

Not only Lo Qingzhu, but Qin Feiyang and the other men also wanted to soak in the water for a long time.

Because, frankly, they smelled horrible.

Even worse than beggars.

"Lead the way."

Qin Feiyang looked at the fierce crocodile and said.

The fierce crocodile took the opportunity to escape from the clutches of the Dragon Phoenix Building lady and quickly dashed forward.

Qin Feiyang and his group hurriedly followed.

"Why do I keep meeting impatient people who won't let me lie down for a bit longer?"

Ling Yunfei shook his head, reluctantly got up, and chased after them, asking, "Little Crocodile, are there any other fierce beasts here?"

"This is my territory, who dares to enter?"

The Crocodile Emperor said arrogantly.

"Bull!"

Ling Yunfei gave a thumbs-up.

Less than an hour later,

The group made their way through brambles and came to a mountain ridge.

The ridge was like a giant python, stretching across the land from south to north, covered in lush vegetation.

But as the Crocodile Emperor said, they didn't encounter a single fierce beast along the way, and on the ridge ahead, they didn't sense any beast's presence.

Under the Crocodile Emperor's lead, they climbed the ridge, stood in a grove, and looked forward.

Surrounded by mountains, there was a basin about two or three miles in diameter.

The lake was in the center of this basin.

Clear lake water shimmered with waves under the sunlight.

On the shore.

The lush vegetation presented a vibrant scene.

Everyone was overjoyed, quickly following the Crocodile Emperor down the mountain, through a forest, and to the lakeside.

The refreshing breeze invigorated them.

"All you men, turn your backs, no peeking."

The Dragon Phoenix Building lady surveyed the lake, her eyes sparkling as if seeing an unparalleled treasure.

"Ahem!"

Ling Yunfei coughed lightly and asked, "Shouldn't it be men first?"

"What did you say?"

The Dragon Phoenix Building lady and Lo Qingzhu immediately turned around, glaring fiercely at Ling Yunfei.

At this moment, the two women chose to ally instinctively.

Seeing their expressions, Ling Yunfei couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Women are like tigers, not to be provoked."

Qin Feiyang patted Ling Yunfei's shoulder, thinking.

"If I can't provoke them, can't I at least avoid them?"

Ling Yunfei huffed, glanced at the lake, and pointed to the opposite shore, "Let's go over there for a bath."

"Isn't that a bad idea?"

"What if something happens unexpectedly?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

"Didn't Little Crocodile say there are no other fierce beasts here, what are you worried about?"

Ling Yunfei rolled his eyes at him.

"Alright then."

Qin Feiyang nodded, looked at the Dragon Phoenix Building lady and Lo Qingzhu, and smiled, "We'll go to the other side, find us when you're done."

"Okay."

The two women thought for a moment, then nodded.

Qin Feiyang then looked at the Ant Emperor and Spider Emperor and said, "Stay here to protect them, just in case."

Although Lo Qingzhu had the Kunpeng with her, the Kunpeng was just a Nine-Star War Emperor.

The Ant Emperor and Spider Emperor were different; they were bona fide peak Nine-Star War Emperors.

If anything unexpected did happen, with them here, it would be more than enough to handle it.

"No problem, leave it to us!"

The Ant Emperor and the other beast chuckled.

Qin Feiyang was taken aback. These jerks, why do they laugh so sleazily?

Could the fierce beasts of the Divine Sign be like men, interested in human beauties?

"Let's go!"

"It's fine when we don't see water, but now that we do, it's unbearable."

Ling Yunfei tugged at Qin Feiyang, running along the lakeshore toward the opposite side.

Li Jian exchanged a glance with the others and hurriedly followed; they also wanted to enjoy a good bath.

After Qin Feiyang and the others left, the Ant Emperor eyed Lo Qingzhu and another, grinning mischievously, "Ladies, it's truly an honor to take a romantic bath with you!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

"Here, let me do you a favor and help you undress."

The Spider Emperor also laughed slyly.

Their faces immediately darkened.

Seeing things going awry, the Ant Emperor quickly waved its claws, chuckling, "Don't be scared, we're just joking, we're not interested in human women."

"Get lost!"

The Phoenix Tower lady shouted.

The two beasts shrank their necks and quickly turned to run.

The Phoenix Tower lady snorted, "Whatever kind of owner, whatever kind of spiritual pet, it's indeed true."

Lo Qingzhu covered her mouth, laughing, "Sister, you seem to have quite a prejudice against Qin Feiyang!"

"It's not seem to, it's true."

"You don't know how he's plotted against us over the years."

"If not for certain connections, I would've eliminated him long ago."

The Phoenix Tower lady looked annoyed.

"Certain connections?"

Lo Qingzhu paused, curious, "What connections?"

"We..."

The Phoenix Tower lady instinctively wanted to answer but suddenly became alert, looking at Lo Qingzhu, her gaze flickering.

"Sister, don't misunderstand..."

Lo Qingzhu quickly waved her hand.

"Misunderstand what?"

"You're overthinking."

"Let's go, take a bath, we're almost filthy."

The Phoenix Tower lady smiled, removed her outer dress, and stepped into the lake.

Lo Qingzhu watched the Phoenix Tower lady's back, a flash of light in her clear eyes, and followed suit, taking off her mud-stained dress, stepping into the lake.

"So comfortable."

The two found a good spot, leaned side by side against a rock, closed their eyes, enjoying the moment.

The Phoenix Tower lady suddenly asked, "Qingzhu, you like Qin Feiyang, right?"

Without opening her eyes, it seemed like just a casual question.

Lo Qingzhu froze slightly, her face instantly flushed, "Sister, what are you talking about?"

"You know very well if I'm talking nonsense."

"I'm just letting you know, Qin Feiyang is a bit clueless; if you're not a bit proactive, he might never understand."

The Phoenix Tower lady smiled gently.

Lo Qingzhu said, "Sister, you don't understand; it's not that he doesn't get it, he's avoiding it because there's already someone in his heart."

"Who?"

The Phoenix Tower lady opened her eyes, inquisitively looking at her.

"Princess Mermaid."

Lo Qingzhu said, disappointed.

"Princess Mermaid..."

The Phoenix Tower lady murmured.

"I'm different from Princess Mermaid."

"She's bold with love and hate, straightforward about what she likes."

"But I..."

Lo Qingzhu stopped talking, silent for a while, took a deep breath, looked at the Phoenix Tower lady, and smiled, "Perhaps this is fate!"

"I don't know if it's fate."

"I just know you should fight for what you love."

The Phoenix Tower lady said.

"Fight for..."

Lo Qingzhu murmured, "Then what about you, sister? You've spent so much time with Qin Feiyang; have you ever developed feelings for him?"

"Me?"

The Phoenix Tower lady hesitated, shook her head and laughed, "I do have feelings, but it's impossible between us."

"Why?"

Lo Qingzhu was curious.

"You'll know in the future."

The Phoenix Tower lady gave a mysterious smile.

Lo Qingzhu glanced at the Phoenix Tower lady, withdrew her gaze, looked at the calm lakeside, and her eyes sparkled.

"Tsk tsk, everything is just right..."

"Didn't expect such a stunning beauty among humans; Elder Qin is truly lucky!"

The Ant Emperor hid behind a rock, staring at Lo Qingzhu and the other, commenting.

"Indeed!"

The Spider Emperor nodded, then glared at the Ant Emperor, "It's all your fault for laughing so sleazily, otherwise we could be having a romantic bath now."

"Before blaming me, can you wipe the drool from your mouth first?"

The Ant Emperor disdainfully replied.

The Spider Emperor awkwardly chuckled.

On the other side.

Qin Feiyang and the others weren't so refined, jumping right into the lake, and as soon as submerged, an indescribable joy swept over them.

And then.

Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei started playing around, having a great time.

"They really act like children."

"They're still young, just overwhelmed with too much, and had to bury their innocence."

Li Jian and the others quietly soaked in the water, looked at Qin Feiyang, and laughed.

As for the Crocodile Emperor.

After bringing Qin Feiyang and others here, it had wandered off on its own, it's unclear where it went.

Qin Feiyang and the others weren't concerned.

After all, this is its territory; no one knows it better, so there won't be any accidents.
