“Who is over there!” Chang shouted, her voice quivering.
The aquatic grasses Qi Lin hid at were not very thick at all. An attentive person could see his figure, and this lake was very open and empty. Even if he were to use high level body techniques, she was not blind at this.
Right now, both he and Qi Qi were both naked under the lake. Of course, what was most bothersome was that he had hid for some reason; clearly, he seemed to have a guilty conscience. However, Qi Lin was thick-skinned, and the thick-skinned were quick-witted. Very quickly, Qi Lin concocted a way to wash himself clean in the Yellow River.
Qi Qi knew what he was thinking. She screamed and dashed out. The girl’s appearance successfully drew Chang’s gaze, “Elder Sister, there’s a big snake.” Qi Qi saw Chang hurriedly leap out. Qi Qi was very flushed, her tone anxious, as if she had actually met a snake. Qi Lin was very impressed that this little sister was honestly a good actor.
Chang relaxed when she saw the girl.
Qi Lin seized the chance to swim away from the lakebed. Using the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape, he immediately circled around along the bottom. Then, he dressed himself on the surface and hastily ran over, shouting in alarm: “Qi Qi, what happened.”
Chang hugged Qi Qi and had yet to calm her down when she suddenly saw a man dash over. The girl screamed. “Don’t look!”
Qi Lin suddenly stopped and immediately turned around. “Chang, why are you here.”
Qi Qi dressed herself and returned to the bank. Chang also hurriedly clothed herself.
“Done, you can turn around.”
Qi Lin nodded as he pretended to admire the scenery. He smiled: “This lake here is full of Western Kunlun’s immortal qi. Qi Qi said she wanted to bathe here, but I didn’t expect you to be here, too.”
“I was also drawn over.” Chang softly said.
“Where are your companions?” Qi Lin changed the topic, not wanting to linger too long on this bathing topic and expose gaps in his alibi.
“I was out to collect medicine. They are still at camp.” Chang said.
Qi Lin looked at the girl in astonishment: “Western Kunlun is so dangerous, how could you leave on your won.”
“This place is fine.” Chang mumbled.
“As if. If I was a bad guy and saw such a beautiful girl bathing in the lake, do you think that would be fine?!” Qi Lin sternly stiffened his face.
This truly was irrefutable. Chang muttered in grievance: “Really, I can take care of myself.”
“Oh?” Qi Lin chuckled. He very obscenely sized up Chang’s exquisite figure. After soaking in the lake’s gentle caress, the girl appeared even more outstanding. From head to toe, she had an untainted and lustrous quality that made Qi Lin unable to help but remember a universal phrase, “like a lotus emerging from clear waters, naturally beautiful without any decoration.”
“Brother Qi Lin, what are you doing.” Chang covered her chest.
“Relax, my little sister is here, what can I do.”
“Oh.”
“I’ll escort you back to your camp. It just so happens I’m also going to visit the Queen Mother Of The West.” Qi Lin thought for a moment. His injuries currently were not completely mended, and facing the Yayu consumed too much of his magical energy. It was too difficult for him to pass the Nine Divine Gates by himself. Since he encountered Chang again, he may as well take advantage of the chance to tag along.
Chang listened to him and happily smiled like a little girl: “That would be great.”
However, Chang was in no hurry at all to set out. The girl’s gaze showed she was reluctant to part with this Yin lake. Qi Lin suddenly broke into a smile. Right, Chang had specifically come to this lake with Yin quintessence. However, she had been interrupted by him and had soaked for only a few moments after undressing.
This lake was rare in Western Kunlun. Chang was a bit reluctant to leave but could not easily speak out.
“Right, my little sister hasn’t finished bathing. Why not help her bathe. In actuality, she doesn’t like to bathe that much at all.” Qi Lin faintly smiled.
“I will stand guard for you two.”
“Many thanks, Brother Qi Lin.”
Behind a cliff not far from the lake, Qi Lin meditated as he kept watch over the surroundings. The girls’ hearty laughter as they frolicked in the water entered his ears. In his mind, he could not help but recall her naked scene from before, a beautiful image that slowly unfolded in his mind.
Qi Lin shook his head and calmed his mind, sweeping aside the fantasies in his mind as he threw all of his strength into recovery. Upon thinking of his wounds, he was also miserable.
He had exerted himself too hard against the Yayu. Given this rate of progress, recovery would perhaps require several months. He was unsure if he would have time to visit the Queen Mother Of The West.
“Brother Qi Lin, why do you frown?” Chang’s pleasant voice interrupted his contemplations.
Qi Lin came to his senses and looked closely. Chang was already standing in front of him. The girl’s body emanated a kind of indescribable warmth. Her every word and gesture, her every smile and frown was soothing.
That type of feminine warmth thoroughly saturated her body at this moment.
“Big Brother, do you want to bathe with Big Sister Chang?” Qi Qi said innocently: “Big Sister Chang looks so beautiful when she bathes, like she’s helping the moon take a bath.”
“Ah, Qi Qi, what are you saying.” Chang blushed.
“I do. I really do.” Qi Lin was serious. “Right now, Chang’s body is too gentle and supple.”
“Brother Qi Lin.” Chang frowned.
Qi Lin laughed.
The three of them packed and set out, the fresh atmosphere full of the distinct fragrance of a woman after bathing.
Western Kunlun’s landscape was magnificent to the extreme. Even the Spirit Beasts born here were full of spiritual power. Qi Qi also appeared to be more lively than before, chasing around after butterflies and sniffing flowers all along the way. Suddenly Qi Lin had the feeling they were on an excursion. “Right, Brother Qi Lin, did you encounter some kind of danger.” Chang suddenly whispered.
“You noticed?” Qi Lin did not hide it. Chang was a physician, so she was very attuned to the condition of a person’s body.
Chang nodded. She had sensed that Qi Lin’s body seemed to have been exhausted; his essence, qi, and spirit were somewhat lacking.
“Chang is a bit capable in medical treatment. Brother Qi Lin, if you don’t mind, I can try to help you recover.”
“Really?” Qi Lin was a bit skeptical. For people like him, who expended immense magical energy and could not sustain spiritual power, he could only slowly recover such that even the Green Satchel Book could not help.
Even if Chang was an expert in healing, without a wonder drug, it was very difficult to make someone recover from overexertion. This was like reincarnating someone. It was particularly difficult for a Golden Core cultivator, who had yet to form a Primordial Infant.
Chang just warmly smiled. She stepped behind Qi Lin and said, “Big Brother, don’t look back.”
It sounded like her healing technique contained some secret.
Qi Lin did not turn his head back. He felt his back suddenly turn very hot. This warmth was very strange, unlike that of the sun, but more faint like how moonlight was a reflection of sunlight, a warmth that was a bit chilly.
All of his skin seemed to be soaked in water, and every single pore on his body greedily absorbed this mist-like warmth, as if it was dew. Once the sun rose, it would disappear.
Qi Lin let out a moan of pleasure.
“Big Brother, what happened.” Chang intentionally changed this slightly dubious atmosphere.
“I ran into a Demon Beast, and I used up too much energy killing it.” Qi Lin summarized the events.
Chang exclaimed in shock, “We also encountered many Demon Beasts along the way. Fortunately, Big Sister Hou Yi and the others are very strong, so we were able to reach this far.”
“Big Brother, you had better stick with us. We can help each other.”
“I can only take advantage of you.”
Chang chuckled, “Brother Qi Lin truly is funny.”
“I speak the truth.” Qi Lin threw up his hands.
“Brother Qi Lin, that you can reach this far on your own is very incredible. We had to spend a lot of time to get here.” Chang was no fool.

Qi Qi is a VERY clever girl.
Chang gives of serious An Suwen vibes.
She is, isn’t she? Except for her murderous personality, that one seems to lean more into brute force.
