Chapter 31 Princess, please wash my feet
Princess Wansheng rode on a cloud and mist, and from several miles away, she could see the true owner of that aura.
It was no longer a small pool of water, but a young man with long, crimson hair, looking quite disheveled, who was also gazing at her from afar...
That expression... it seemed like he was smiling at her?
Princess Wansheng immediately descended from the cloud, harboring some doubts in her heart, and did not rush forward.
She wouldn't forget the smell of that puddle in the Xiezhi Cave—warm and refreshing, with a faint trace of the true fire of the sun, exactly the same as this person's.
But when this person saw her coming, he didn't run away; instead, he grinned at her, which was rather unusual.
Inside the Xie Zhi Cave, he slipped away faster than a mudfish, not daring to even show his face.
Now he's sitting cross-legged so casually, could it be that there's an ambush set up nearby? Or has he just survived a tribulation and become much stronger, making him more confident?
She narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, her gaze first sweeping over the surrounding area of the peak.
There was no sign of an ambush, not even a protector.
Apart from this unlucky fellow who was struck by lightning, there wasn't even a bird left on the entire mountain.
She then turned her gaze back to the young man, looking him up and down.
His body was covered in charred ash, his clothes were tattered, his chest heaved rapidly and shallowly, his breath was scattered and unstable, and his spiritual energy fluctuations were pitifully weak.
His appearance clearly indicated that he had just been struck by heavenly lightning and didn't even have the strength to gather his energy.
Given his condition, it's a miracle he can even stand up.
Her doubts gradually dissipated, and she instantly rode the mist to the summit.
"It's you!" Princess Wansheng raised her chin slightly, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and her tone was unfriendly. "The one who turned into a puddle and hid behind the stone pillar in the Xie Zhi Cave, wasn't that you?"
Lu Changgeng's weak appearance was obviously an act. As soon as he could distinguish Princess Wansheng's aura from afar, he immediately made a decision: Watch me pretend to be Tang and trick her.
"Fellow Daoist, you are so graceful and elegant. May I ask your name? I did not understand what you just said." He spoke in a hoarse voice, weak but with a smile. "I am just a rogue cultivator undergoing tribulation here. I have never seen you before, nor have I ever been to any Xie Zhi Cave."
"Don't you understand?" Princess Wansheng scoffed. "Since you won't admit it, then put your hand out."
Lu Changgeng was taken aback: "Why?"
"In the Xie Zhi Cave, when I sealed the ground with frost, a streak of cold light grazed your watery tail. Although it didn't seal you, the frost left a trace inside you. If you hadn't been to the Xie Zhi Cave, you wouldn't have that frost-stained dragon mark on your body. Do you dare to extend your hand so I can examine it?"
"This..." Lu Changgeng had no idea about any dragon-fiend mark, nor did he know whether what she said was true or false.
He secretly circulated his magic power, and nothing seemed amiss!
"What? Are you secretly using your magic?" Princess Wansheng sneered. "To tell you the truth, that Dragon Fiend Mark is a secret technique of my Azure Wave Pool. It won't cause any harm, so it's very difficult to detect."
The secret technique of the Azure Pool? It really is Princess Wansheng!
"So the fairy is Princess Wansheng of Bibo Pool. I have been impolite. As for the Dragon Fiend Mark that the fairy mentioned, I truly do not know about it."
"Hmph, enough nonsense! Tell me quickly, what were you doing following me to the Xie Zhi Cave that day? Did you take that five-colored stone fragment?" Princess Wansheng lost her patience and became aggressive.
Fragments of the Five-Colored Stone?
Lu Changgeng's heart skipped a beat. Was that fragment a fragment of the Five-Colored Stone?
The so-called five-colored stones are the stones used by Nuwa to mend the sky, and the monkey was born from those stones.
Without thinking it over, Lu Changgeng looked bewildered and shook his head: "Fairy, you've mistaken me for someone else!"
"Alright, since that's the case, I, the princess, will help you remember."
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Wansheng made a hand seal, and a phantom image of a blue dragon's head appeared behind her, letting out a dragon's roar to the sky.
Accompanied by the dragon's roar, a blue mark suddenly appeared on the back of Lu Changgeng's left hand, then floated up and landed in Princess Wansheng's hand.
Lu Changgeng was dumbfounded; there really was some kind of mark.
"What else do you have to say?" Princess Wansheng's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Well... I was just passing by out of curiosity..." Lu Changgeng chuckled awkwardly. With the evidence irrefutable, it wasn't in his nature to act shamelessly anymore.
"Since you're passing by, do you dare allow this princess to search you? Rest assured, this princess only wants the five-colored stone fragment; I don't want any of your other treasures."
"I don't believe you," Lu Changgeng thought to himself.
"Why must you be so aggressive, fairy? We've only just met; wouldn't it be more pleasant to sit here and discuss the Dao?"
After speaking, Lu Changgeng scanned the graceful Princess Wansheng from head to toe, his gaze finally settling on her small, white feet.
Wan Sheng, with her keen senses, noticed his gaze and immediately recalled the scene in the cave where he had grabbed her feet, instantly feeling a surge of shame and anger.
"You are not worthy to discuss matters with this princess!"
"Oh? Then I guess I'll have to have a go at the fairies' place."
"You dare to lay a hand on me?" Princess Wansheng's eyes flashed with menacing power. "Since you refuse to listen to reason, I'll settle the score with you for offending me that day!"
"Wait!" Lu Changgeng suddenly thrust his hand across the room.
"What? Are you scared?"
"No, no!" Lu Changgeng waved his hand, his face serious. "I just want to explain what happened that day. The princess ran around in the cave for a long time, and then chased me for so long. She must have been sweating a lot. I think..."
He paused, his expression serious and solemn: "The princess's feet might smell, so this humble Taoist priest will have to use water to wash them for you..."
The air at the summit seemed to freeze in that instant.
Princess Wansheng's beautiful face flushed red at a visible speed, the blush spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears, and her neck turned completely red.
She has lived for over a thousand years and has seen countless opponents, but no one has ever dared to use such vulgar language to humiliate her before a magical duel.
"How dare you!"
She raised her right hand, spread her five slender fingers, and five hair-thin water lines condensed from her fingertips, which shot towards Lu Changgeng's face without warning.
Lu Changgeng had anticipated her sudden attack. He leaned back and slid several feet along the ground, five streams of water grazing his nose and embedding themselves in the stone platform, leaving five tiny holes the size of pinheads.
He turned over and stood up, shaking off the stone chips stuck to his sleeves. The listless look on his face had faded somewhat.
"I'm not wrong. It's only natural for a young lady like you to sweat when you run around barefoot. Sweating can cause odor, that's the truth. Princess, you're beautiful, so smelly feet aren't a big deal. Just wash them more often from now on."
After saying that, a thin layer of water vapor suddenly surged from Lu Changgeng's body. The water vapor gathered and thickened, spreading out and in the blink of an eye, it turned the stone surface under his feet into a steaming pool.
"Princess, this is a warm bath prepared using my secret method. The water is clear and the temperature is just right, which can remove any odor. You have come from afar and must be sweating. Please wash your feet."
"Shut up!"
Princess Wansheng was enraged by Lu Changgeng's words and her attacks became increasingly fierce. Her right hand transformed from fingers into claws, her five fingernails grew long and sharp, and a ball of emerald water aura condensed in her palm as she slapped him toward his chest.
