Xiang Fan's smile froze, his fingers pausing in the air. He blinked, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing. "This... hot spring? Fairy Princess? Wasn't that the information I just downloaded about the Red Flame Crystal?"

He quickly clicked on the second video ball. The scene was still of the hot spring, but this time it featured three fairies, holding hands and playing in the water. Water droplets slid across their skin, reflecting a shimmering light. The poolside lights accentuated their smiles, and the hill-like undulations of their breasts loomed in the swaying water, like the moon reflected on the surface.

Xiang Fan's mouth twitched violently. Unconvinced, he tapped several video balls, but without exception, they all showed scenes of fairies in hot springs. Some were splashing in the pool, while others sat by the edge, lazily brushing back their wet hair. Drops of water trickled down their slender necks, disappearing into the undulating curves of their bodies. One fairy was even more dramatic, leaning back against a boulder beside the pool, her arms casually folded, legs crossed as she dipped into the water. Surrounded by mist, she looked like a living, aquatic sculpture.

Xiang Fan was completely dumbfounded. He sat in his chair, his eyes wide open, muttering, "This... How is this possible..." He kept flipping through the image ball, clinging to a last glimmer of hope, trying to find some concrete information about the Red Flame Crystal. But the images in the image ball only contained a single theme: hot springs, immortals, and playfulness.

"I..." Xiang Fan took a deep breath and uttered a few words with difficulty: "I was cheated?!" He covered his face, feeling that his whole body was overwhelmed by shame, and his ears were as red as boiled shrimps.

He consoled himself while cursing, "Maybe... maybe the Spirit Realm designer has unique tastes, and these image balls are used to hide the real information! Yeah, yes, that must be it!" But then he thought again, and a strong sense of unwillingness welled up in his heart: "Where's the information about the Red Flame Crystal? Are these image balls just 'advertisements'? I risked coming all this way here just to watch a group of fairies soaking in a hot spring?"

He glanced down at the tabletop. The image projected by the projection ball was perfectly focused on a fairy sitting in the water, stirring the water with her hands. Her figure was shrouded in mist, appearing even more graceful in the blur. Her graceful crescent-shaped shoulders and the faintly visible line of her chest were almost breathtaking.

Xiang Fan angrily closed the virtual screen and looked up at the ceiling with a complicated expression on his face: "Sure enough, the spiritual realm is too dangerous. I shouldn't have come in..."
