The boundary between mountains and seas? Looking eastward towards the mountain.
Since returning to the Bai Ze clan, Bai Muqiu has been paralyzed at home, with neither Bai Jingyao nor Bai Shuo around.
Not only them, but all the Bai Ze members in the clan, except for the older and younger ones, were out wandering around.
Finally, Bai Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that Bai Muqiu was about to take root and sprout in the bed. If he didn't take her out to get some sun, she would grow mushrooms sooner or later.
Bai Muqiu, like a lump of mud, was carried away by Bai Yu and taken to the natural hot spring that Bai Jue had discovered earlier.
Although located in Kitazawa, it has underground hot springs deep in the mountains, and the area is quite large.
Bai Muqiu was changed into a white silk robe nightgown and thrown into the hot spring.
A wave of heat hit him, and Bai Muqiu struggled to get up. His wet, thin nightgown clung tightly to his body, revealing his figure and skin.
"Thump—"
Bai Yu also changed into her bathrobe and came in. She swam comfortably for a while, then sat by the shore, squinting her eyes.
Bai Muqiu also felt comfortable soaking in the warm water and rowed to the shore to lean against it.
"Feeling good? Don't stay cooped up at home anymore. You can also wander around the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Bai Yu stretched lazily.
Bai Muqiu tucked her long hair behind her ears and gazed at the steaming hot spring pool.
"I don't want to move, I don't want to shop, everything is so boring."
"Tsk, what are you doing? Are you tired of life? It's only been a hundred years. You're not fit to go back to the human world."
"It's pointless, I wouldn't want to go even if I could."
There's no one worth seeing, and no need to go.
"You can't do that. If we don't seek death, we can live for thousands of years. You can't have this kind of thinking."
"Maybe I need to take a break..."
"Bang—boom—"
Before Bai Muqiu could finish speaking, a deafening sound suddenly came from the mountains not far away, and the whole earth trembled and shook a few times.
Bai Yu and Bai Muqiu stood up at the same time and used their innate divine power to investigate, only to find that two dragons were fighting.
One is Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, and the other is Ancestral Dragon Long Cheng Xiu.
Bai Muqiu didn't recognize any of them; they were just two dragons, one blue and one gold, entangled together. After roughly understanding the cause of the incident, he relaxed and sat down to soak in the hot spring again.
Bai Yu was curious, since the two dragons had a good relationship and shouldn't be fighting for no reason.
"Late Autumn, shall we go and take a look? We haven't met them yet!"
"No way, what's so interesting about dragons fighting?"
"That's the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Divine Beasts! And there's another one, the only pure-blooded Golden Dragon in the Ancestral Dragon lineage!"
"Oh, so what?"
"Don't you want to see a golden dragon?"
"...But he's not a pure gold dragon anymore."
"Uh... that's because he's inheriting the power of the East Sea, which is why there are some sea-blue areas."
"So, I'm not going. The golden dragon is beautiful, but the blue-haired, golden-bodied dragon isn't!"
"...No, his original form didn't have blue hair! His human form is what gives him blue hair and blue eyes!"
"Really? Pure gold?"
"Pure gold! Dragons generally don't revert to their original forms except when fighting among themselves or courting. This is a rare opportunity!"
"Hmm...I see, ouch—"
Bai Yu couldn't wait any longer, afraid of missing out if she was too late, so she interrupted Bai Muqiu and dragged him away into the sky.
Upon leaving the hot spring, Bai Muqiu shivered from the cold and quickly dried her and Bai Yu's clothes and hair.
Bai Muqiu wore no shoes or socks, only a white silk robe. Her long black hair, reaching her waist, fluttered in the wind. Because she had just soaked in the hot spring, her cheeks were rosy, her lips were luscious, and her peach blossom eyes were half-closed, making her very alluring.
Dust and smoke rose from the massive mountain range. Looking down from the sky, two enormous dragons were entangled in the clouds and smoke, their deafening roars echoing from time to time.
Bai Muqiu glanced at the dazzling golden dragon and had to admit that it was indeed very shiny, glittering with golden light!
In comparison, the Azure Dragon's color was much dimmer. The two dragons were about the same size and thickness, and their strength was also similar. They fought to a draw, with neither able to determine a winner.
The surrounding area had been cleared out, and with the dragon's might pressing down, the strange beasts here had already fled.
Bai Muqiu watched for a while and found it boring, but Bai Yu's eyes lit up. He was a scholar, but that didn't mean he didn't value martial arts. After all, his martial arts skills were not low either.
How long will they fight?
Bai Muqiu pulled Bai Yu back a little, away from the billowing dust.
"It will probably take a long time. They seem to be evenly matched. No one has ever seen the two of them fight, so we don't know who will win or lose."
"I'm so bored, shall we go back and soak in the hot springs?"
"Huh? No, aren't you going to observe and learn? With your strength, you're still slacking off; you'll probably get bullied by other beasts!"
"...I'm just...relatively weak! Besides, our Bai Ze is a peaceful auspicious beast, not everyone is as warlike as Brother Hao. Do you expect to fight everywhere like a ferocious beast?"
"No, that won't happen."
"So, there's nothing to see here, let's go."
"Sigh, but... wait? It's over?"
Just as the two were about to leave, the commotion in the mountains stopped, and the dust slowly dissipated, revealing the complete bodies of two giant dragons, even taller than the mountains themselves.
Bai Muqiu turned her head and looked down at Long Chengxiu, who was dressed in gold. She had to admit that the brilliance of gold was always dazzling.
As if sensing something, Long Chengxiu in the mountains raised his head and looked in the direction of Bai Muqiu and Bai Yu.
Bai Muqiu glanced back at Long Chengxiu calmly, said nothing, turned around and left with Bai Yu.
"Hey! Chengxiu?! What are you looking at? I'm asking you a question!"
Long Chengxiu was jolted back to his senses when he heard Meng Zhang's voice, but the image of the long-haired, white-clad beauty hovering in the air still lingered in his mind.
He never knew that his heart could not be at peace; her slightly flushed cheeks and her eyes, as bright as peach blossoms, made his heart beat faster.
Long Chengxiu transformed into human form, wearing a dark blue robe, a jade crown, and a gold-inlaid jade pendant around his waist.
He raised his hand to his heart, somewhat puzzled.
"What are you doing? I didn't hurt you, you can't blame me!"
Meng Zhang also transformed into human form, wearing a green jade and glass robe and a jade hairpin in his hair.
"I think... I'm falling for him."
"Huh? Ahhh?! No, wait a minute, you, you, you, what did you say?! You won't do this to me???"
"Get out, it's not you."
"Oh—whoa! You scared me to death! Who was that? There was a beast watching over there. Which beast did you fancy?"
"have no idea."
"..."
Meng Zhang was speechless. Although he knew that Long Chengxiu was cold-hearted, there was no need for him to speak so coldly.
"and you?"
"I'll go take a look."
Before Meng Zhang could react, Long Chengxiu had already transformed into a dragon and soared into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Meng Zhang stood there, stunned and bewildered, not even understanding what had happened.
Besides, Long Chengxiu isn't an anomaly among the dragons, with a heart of ice that's been frozen for ten thousand years. How could he suddenly fall in love at first sight with a beast?!
Meng Zhang rubbed his arms, feeling a chill.
It's fake! It must be fake!
