Chapter 652

Some time ago, the afterglow of the sun shone through the stained glass window, casting a golden edge on Tibao's red hair.

Her hand holding a crystal trembled slightly, reflecting the flickering light spots in the direction of the tree garden, "Tian..?" Before the last word faded, the crystal suddenly burst out with a dazzling red light.

"What's wrong... Is there trouble in the tree garden?"

Star-track-like lines appeared in Tibao's pupils, and her fingertips drew ripples on the surface of the crystal. "Yes... there was a fleeting feeling, but it was very strong... They seemed to have encountered a difficult problem."

Suddenly, her whole body trembled, and her red hair stood up as if she had received an electric shock. "Tian used the Hundred Realms Gate again..."

Aglaya turned around, pushed open the carved window frame and looked out the window.

“Can you see the specific picture?”

"No, it's as blurry as usual." Tibao's voice suddenly choked, "But the enemy's presence has disappeared, maybe they have moved to a safe place... probably." She curled up in the soft chair by the window.

"I hope it's just a false alarm. Trust Lin Yu and Xia Die, my teacher..." Her voice suddenly softened, "They will protect Tian."

"Why are you treating us like children, Aya?" Her voice was muffled. "One day, Tian will reach her limit, and Tibao will take over the duties of the doormaker from her. We all know this."

Tibao took the doll that Aglaya handed to her and hugged it tightly.

"I'm just a little worried about her mental state. Before we left, Tian couldn't even speak clearly. At least let's say goodbye properly."

"I'll pray with you."

"Thank you, Aya. This time, I'll have to trouble you to accompany us to the bathhouse to relax. It feels like we haven't laughed for a long time."

The hot springs in Yunshi Palace were steaming with sulfur mist. Tibao walked barefoot on the smooth jade steps. Her laughter like a silver bell startled the koi in the pond. "Let's set off with the west wind." There was a hint of joy in her voice, trying to cover up her inner uneasiness.

...

"It's so hot, is it usually this hot?" Tibao suddenly held onto the porch pillar, her fingertips sinking into the warm jade.

"Are there any injured people over there?"

Several guests dressed in luxurious attire were leaning against the stone wall, their skin showing an unnatural flush.

“Ah…hahaha…” The noble in the front suddenly fell to the ground and twitched, pointing his finger to the bottom of the bath, “Be careful…Xuanfeng people…”

Looking at his appearance, I couldn't tell whether he fainted from laughing or because of something else.

Suddenly, Tibao saw several bathhouse guests lying on the ground in a corner not far away, looking painful.

"There are injured people over there?" Tibao exclaimed and ran towards the injured.

"Ah..." Another dizzy bathhouse guest uttered a weak sound, his face flushed and his eyes blurred.

"What...what happened?!" Tibao squatted down anxiously and tried to help the guest up.

Aglaya walked quickly to Tibao and said, "Xuanfeng people? This tragedy... was caused by them?"

Tibao looked at Aglaiya anxiously, "Aya, don't worry about this for now, save the wounded!"

At this moment, Feng Jin's voice came from the front, "—— Everyone, please make way!" Feng Jin hurried over with a medical box in his hand.

When she saw Tibao and Aglaya, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "You two! I feel relieved that you are here too."

Tibao looked at Fengjin in confusion, "Why are the people from Dull Light Courtyard here too? What happened?"

Feng Jin opened the medical kit and explained, "I'm just here to relax... I just arrived nearby and saw a lot of people lying on the ground. I checked them out and they were fine. It seems that... the water temperature is too high and they stayed in the water for too long."

Aglaya looked around, frowning. "So many people fainted at the same time because of the high temperature of the pool water? Where is the manager of the bathhouse?"

Feng Jin shook his head. "He disappeared and no one knows where he is. Some people are muttering that it was done by the Xuanfeng people... Ms. Aglaya, do you have any clues?"

Aglaya was silent for a moment, "Let these people have a good rest. You two, follow me."

Tibao stood up and followed Aglaiya's steps, "Aya, have you thought of anything?"

Aglaya nodded slightly. "Of course, although I don't know what they are planning, it's time to end this farce."

The three of them walked along the corridor of the bathhouse and came to a closed door.

Aglaya reached out and pushed open the door, and the scene before them made Tibao and Fengjin gasp.

"Oh my God, so many people..?!" Tibao exclaimed.

Feng Jin was also shocked, "Who did this..."

At this time, Wan Di's voice came from the corner, "Pathetic savior, nothing more than that."

Tibao looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wandi standing nearby and Bai'e lying on the ground with a pale face and bruised nose and face.

"Little... little enemy?!"

Bai'e raised his head slightly and said weakly, "The murderer...the murderer...is...Madmos..." Before he finished speaking, he started coughing violently.

Tibao looked at Wan Di anxiously, "Xiao Di! What did you do to us?!"

Wan Di snorted coldly, "Humph... it's just winning another fight."

Feng Jin looked confused, "War...War?"

Aglaya frowned slightly and sighed inwardly, "As expected, these two, on the surface, are the most powerful warriors in the Holy City, but they can't hide their youthful nature after all... Tell us, Wan Di? Tell us, what stupid things did you and Bai E do."

Wan Di and Bai E looked at each other, Bai E lowered his head slightly, while Wan Di cleared his throat and began to tell what had happened.

Just as Wan Di was speaking, a bathing elf suddenly emerged from the lion's mouth. Its body was made of condensed water vapor, and it continued Wan Di's words.

"So! An unprecedented sauna war began."

"The two men were so determined that their will was so strong that the water vapor turned pale. Their arrogance carried the water vapor straight up into the sky, blocking out the sun and making it impossible for people to see..."

"Do you remember the legend of Gorgo hunting a lion mentioned by an old warrior? The protagonist of the story... the lion king, is actually not the only one in the area. There is also a oryx that can compete with him."

"Long before the Golden Age, the two beasts had fought each other on the plains of Tretos. The lion regarded the oryx as a meal, while the oryx saw it as a high wall of contempt, oppression and suffering, and it vowed to overthrow it with its horns..."

“So, for tens of thousands of years, the two beasts began to compete and chase each other in the wilderness.”

Wan Di listened quietly without saying anything.

The cold laughter of Wan Di suddenly rang out from the bathhouse.

"It's lagging behind." The elf imitated the voice of the enemy.

Bai'er's breathing echoed by the pool.

"It can't even come close to it." The elf changed back to Bai'er's tone.

Ten thousand enemies suddenly slammed the water, causing waves several feet high.

“It has no way out.”

Bai'e poured the whole bag of lava stone into the pool, and the water boiled instantly.

"It can't fly away even if it has wings."

The elf suddenly rose to the dome, and the water vapor turned into a scene of the scorching sun in the sky. "On the land of Omphalus, some lives die at dusk, some lives die at dawn, and some lives - they are destined to die in the scorching sun at noon!"

At this time, Daro, the bathhouse attendant who had not been seen for a long time, came over cautiously from a distance, his forehead covered with sweat, "My lords, do you want me to lower the temperature?"

Wan Di snorted coldly and said nothing.

Bai E looked at Wan Di provocatively, "What...what? Heh...are you scared?"

Wan Di glared at Bai E fiercely, "Get lost."

The bathhouse waiter Darrow was so frightened that he trembled all over. "Are you asking me to get out, or..."

Wan Di was silent for a moment, "You... can do whatever you want..."

The bathhouse attendant, Darro, hesitated for a moment and said, "Forgive me for my overstepping my authority, sir." Then he hurried away.

Feng Jin shook his head helplessly.

Tibao also looked helpless.

Aglaya looked at this scene and couldn't help but say, "It's really... so ugly."

Wan Di said disdainfully, "This is the result of challenging the Xuan Feng people without knowing your own strength."

Aglaya looked at Wan Di and Bai E seriously, "I mean... your little game has caused a lot of people to suffer."

Wan Di turned his head and said, "We will send away those bathers who were stunned by the murderous aura."

Bai E muttered, "This...is not fair...you are wearing...much cooler...than me..."

Feng Jin couldn't help but laugh, "Going into a hot tub fully armed, is this a new trend?"

Wan Di glared at Feng Jin, "Don't look at me like that... He is the one who issued the challenge, and there is no such thing as escape in Xuan Feng's dictionary."

Aglaya waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's put an end to this farce, right? Warriors, it's time to move."

Wan Di and Bai E nodded and started to act.

After recovering, Bai'e and Wan Di escorted the unconscious bathers away from the crime scene.

In this escort contest, Bai'e narrowly won with a surprising advantage of 27 to 25.

Aglaya looked at the backs of the two and shook his head slightly, "Oh... the journey to chase the fire is really long and difficult."

Tibao smiled and looked at Aglaiya. "However, thanks to the two of them, the sad atmosphere has disappeared. Although we just experienced a farce, it is rare for Yunshi Palace to be so quiet. Why not continue with the previous itinerary? Xiao Fengjin, are you coming with us?"

Feng Jin smiled and nodded, "It's rare to see such an empty bathhouse... I also wanted to relax after the operation, so I'll be grateful for the invitation, Ms. Tibao!"

Tibao jumped up happily, "Why not go to the biggest bathing pool?"

...

In the huge bathtub, the water ripples and the light and shadows flicker.

Feng Jin was wearing a light yukata, with her long pink hair casually draped over her shoulders, with the ends of her hair slightly curled.

She was the first to step into the pool, her fair skin looking particularly delicate under the reflection of the water.

She squatted down gently, stretched out her hand to touch the water surface, with a happy smile on her face, "Let me try it first... the water temperature is just right!"

Aglaya stood quietly by the pool, her long golden hair falling naturally, with a few strands of hair fluttering gently in the breeze.

She was wearing a simple yet elegant bathrobe, and her delicate facial features revealed an innate noble temperament.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly with a faint smile, "Well, this is how it feels to enjoy the entire bathhouse."

Tibao was standing next to her, small in stature and cute in appearance.

She blinked her big watery eyes, her face full of a relaxed and comfortable expression, "Hehe, it's so comfortable..."

When Feng Jin invited Ti Bao to bathe with him, Ti Bao waved her hand and said, "We won't do that. After all, we have become children now."

Aglaia explained gently, "Please forgive me, due to the blessing curse of Janus, she can no longer tolerate the water temperature of this pool."

"Actually, it's not about the water temperature." Tibao's little face showed a somewhat alert expression.

"I'm just worried... there will be bad guys spying on us... Last time, Tibao saw a bad guy secretly drinking water from the bathing pool! That was clearly the place where Tibao had just soaked her feet!" Tibao said angrily, her cheeks puffed up.

"That person has been arrested. The specific reason is that his behavior was so strange that it frightened many people and disrupted the order of the bathhouse."

"I really don't know why that person wanted to drink the water from the bathtub..."

Feng Jin tilted her head slightly. Tibao keenly noticed that Feng Jin seemed to have a lot more to say, so she asked with a smile, "Are you curious about our affairs, little Feng Jin?"

Feng Jin nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "I am a little curious, but my intuition tells me... maybe it would be better to change the topic?"

"Why are you so nervous? It's not something you can't talk about! In fact, a long, long time ago, we were also mature adults like Aya." She spoke with a hint of nostalgia, paused, and continued, "But for various reasons, we took over Janus's priesthood and gained the power of the gate... In exchange, we paid the price of splitting our souls."

Aglaya added, "Every time the Hundred World Gate is opened, the impact of the split on Tibao and the others will be deepened. From the body to the mind, they will gradually regress towards being babies."

"We don't know what the end is going to be like. That's what makes us kids."

Feng Jin was slightly startled after hearing this, then he thought of something and said, "Then...during the previous duel with Nicardoli, the huge Hundred Worlds Gate that you opened above Ohma was..."

Tibao spread his hands helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. The journey of chasing fire is not destined to be smooth sailing."

Feng Jin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "Maybe... there will be a way. The core topic of the Zhizhong School is the soul. As for its loss, or to make up for the soul that has already dissipated... as long as the research continues, there may be new discoveries. We will do our best."

Aglaya raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. "Your first reaction is actually a denial? You are indeed Kexia's disciple. I look forward to hearing good news from you, Feng Jin."

Tibao laughed happily, "Haha, this is one more reason to look forward to tomorrow!"

However, before the smile completely faded, Tibao suddenly let out a "Woo!"

Feng Jin was startled and asked quickly, "Ms. Tibao?! What...what happened?"

Tibao's face turned pale, his eyes full of panic, "It seems...something is wrong, the strong feeling comes again...is it Tian? No...that's not right...this time it's not Tian...it's Tianing! Tianing is in danger!"

...
