Chapter 363 - Beyond the Dunes(Part-3) (2/2)

”Oi what did the poor lake do to you Sister Zywia?”, Ryuu spoke in a sagely manner before he gained a mournful expression on his face as he spoke, ”Learn to forgive others sister it would do good for you.”

A vein popped on Zywia's forehead as she gritted her teeth in anger, only for Su-Min's hand to be placed on her shoulder as she spoke, ”Leave him, I so do not feel like arguing with that buffoon.”

Ryuu pouted before he spoke with a smile, ”Well what are you all waiting for I believe you well have been barbecued enough so why not join me.”, with that he fell into the bosom of the lake once again, other simply shrugged as most of the male cultivators with a shout of joy joined him while removing most of their clothing.

The women just looked at each other before they decided to relax some of them entered the water, the cool water seemed to wash away the tiredness of the people, as Frost Flames swam in the water she frowned, ”It is strange to see a body of water present here when it should have vaporized under the glare of the twin Suns.”

Another cultivator nodded at that as she spoke, ”Strange indeed, but how did it form indeed it is fresh as well as seemed to be as if it has just form by melting of a glacier, it is not only cool but refreshing, but it should not be possible we should ask Ryuu he was the first one to find it may be he could shed some light into the matter.”

As such the girls decided to question Ryuu and flocked over to him as one of them spoke, ”Daoist Brother Ryuu, a moment of your time please!”

Ryuu looked towards the woman with raised eyebrow as he spoke, ”Yes Daoist Sister is there something you want from me?”

The woman nodded as she spoke, ”Greetings Daoist Ryuu my name is Estele there is something I want to ask you.”

Ryuu studied the person in front of him, while others were swimming in the water she stayed out of it not to mention she was covered in heavy armor with the only visible part of her body being her eyes, Ryuu nodded as she continued, ”This place is extremely hot so does it not make you curious as to why this place exist, when it should have vaporized because of the scorching heat of the twin Suns.”

Ryuu gained a glazed look in his eyes as he remembered another by that name someone whom he saw as his little sister someone he failed, he took a deep breath to cover the open wound, ”Ryuu are you alright?”

The question jolted him awake as he smiled towards the speaker as he spoke, ”Ah I am sorry your name brought back some memories of my younger days, I knew someone by your namesake.”, he coughed on his hand to compose himself as he spoke, ”As for the lake well it exists because I allow it.”

At that all those hearing were startled as Ryuu continued with a smirk, ”I created it, there are number of arrays surrounding it that prevents it from being vaporized as for the water.”, he raised his hand as a small ice ball formed on his palm as he continued, ”Recently we had such a horrendous ordeal then we were thrown headfast into this ghastly place as such I believed it would be better for us to unwind and relax a bit.”

Estelle nodded in acceptance as she spoke, ”Thank you.”, Ryuu watched as she went near the shore as she took a place under the shade of a tent.

Ryuu smirked inwardly, 'I hope this people would simply take my words without digging too much, I so do not want them to know that this was a spirit lake that I drained of the energy and now what is left is just plain water, which I am preventing it from evaporating because of my array.'
