Chapter 81 – The Jade Statue

While submerged in the hot spring, she felt her inner force growing more lively and circulating faster inside her body. With each revolution, the speed increased up to two times her usual cultivation speed..

Ning Xuemo really liked it, so of course she would not let go of such a good training opportunity. After washing off the remaining dirt on her, she sat crossed legged and closed her eyes, calming herself down and getting ready to cultivate.

She was about to start cultivating when she felt something. She abruptly opened her eyes.

She became stupefied by what she saw!

Opposite to her, someone half-sat and half-floated in the pool, somehow managing to appear there without her noticing!

It was a man. It was a man whose appearance made her unable to describe it.

Only half of his body stuck out of the water, but this was enough to captivate people.

His hair floated on the water’s surface like seaweed, and his body looked like a jade, exuding a warm brilliance. His long eyelashes were like a fan lightly closing. His peerlessly beautiful lips were lightly pursed. Under the gleaming reflection of the sunlight on the water, his whole body seemed to be covered with a faint holy aura.

‘Under the vast expanse of the ocean, reflected by the moon, the pearl shed tears;

On Lantian Mountain, warmed by the sun, the jade turned to smoke.’[1]

The moment Ning Xuemo saw him, these two verses came to mind.

Afterwards, she remembered the situation she was in and felt shocked!

She restrained the urge to yell out. She clenched her fingers under the water as she gave a low shout, “Who are you? When did you come in?!”

This hot spring was so small; furthermore, the water was crystal-clear. If there had been someone hiding in there beforehand, she would have noticed!

So where did he pop out of? In addition, he had appeared so silently that she had not even noticed him!

The person opposite of her kept his eyes shut showing a lazy and tranquil demeanour. He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself, and his posture of holding his hands together had not changed.

Because the hot spring was too small, the distance between that person and Ning Xuemo measured  less than 30 centimeters.

Ning Xuemo was short. If she had not floated up, only her head would be above the water. However, this person actually had half his body exposed while he was just sitting.

Ning Xuemo looked at his peerlessly beautiful collarbone and his handsome chin. This distance was enough for people to hear each other breathing.

Ning Xuemo suddenly had goosebumps.

She could not feel the slightest hint of the other person’s breath! He sat simply like a perfect jade statue!
