Plop—
The crystal-clear water splashed, drenching the two of them.
Ying was splashed into the hot spring, unable to recover.
She had lost.
She lifted her snow-white chin, her gaze instinctively falling upon Qin Yu, who was close by.
Her slightly widened, beautiful purple eyes rippled, like a pool of rippling spring water.
In the end, they reflected Qin Yu's face.
"Yu…!"
Ying opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But clearly, the increasingly bold man before her had no intention of giving her the chance to speak.
Qin Yu dominantly captured the lips of the esteemed leader.
The greedy subordinate kissed his superior’s lips once more.
…
After a long while, their lips parted.
The majestic and dignified esteemed leader’s cool, aloof shell was finally shed by Qin Yu.
She panted slightly, covering her eyes with one hand.
Her heart was beating so fast.
The humid steam from the hot spring, mixed with Qin Yu's scent, wafted towards her, making Ying’s cheeks burn and her consciousness grow increasingly hazy.
If this continued, things would become strange…
But alas, she lacked the strength to resist.
"Esteemed Leader."
Qin Yu looked at Ying, who had turned her head, revealing her flushed neck, and said in a low voice.
Suppressing a certain urge within him, his voice became hoarse.
The esteemed leader was already blushing?
As the noble and indifferent Electro Archon, she was too vulnerable.
Yet, it was precisely this contrast…
That brought satisfaction and excitement.
Her entire body trembled.
Perhaps this was the inherent, wicked desire for conquest etched into a man's bones.
“…Here.”
Ying bit her lip lightly, trying to muster her last shred of dignity.
Qin Yu had won this martial arts spar.
As the victor, he would naturally receive his reward.
As for the specific content of this "reward"…
Those who know, know. Those who don't, can't be told more.
They would be silenced by the mysterious power of the Heavenly Principles.
“…”
Qin Yu gently lifted Ying’s purple hair and leaned in.
His martial arts spar with the esteemed leader was not yet over.
The second round had begun.
…
[Ding, Mission Complete: Bury your face in the scabbard]
[Talent Unlocked]
[Combat Talent: Ultimate Technique·Dream Truth]
[Innate Talent…]
Qin Yu had blasphemed against a god.
…
In the hot spring, where dreams and haze intertwined,
The echo of splashing water, which had resounded for who knows how long, gradually ceased, finally returning to calm.
Aftermath.
Time flowed by.
“…”
In her sleep, Qin Yu frowned subconsciously, his mouth opening and closing.
“Hmph… ah…”
Every bone in his body ached as if it had been dismantled.
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze showing brief confusion.
Who was he, where was he, and what had he done?
Finally, his scattered memories became clear.
Qin Yu’s lips curled into a slightly weary smile, his heart filled with satisfaction.
Truly worthy of being an esteemed leader with a martial arts background.
Close-quarters combat was far fiercer compared to the Dendro Archon from next door, who was a mage.
Moreover…
“Ying?”
Qin Yu tried to push himself up, but with a plop, he fell back down.
It hurt.
He gasped in pain, trying to replenish himself with life energy.
But all the abilities he possessed did not respond.
“…”
Qin Yu chuckled helplessly, looking at his hands.
He had been locked.
He looked around, searching for Ying’s figure in this dreamlike and beautiful verdant space.
Yes, verdant.
Qin Yu was currently in a towering palace, lying on a bed condensed from energy.
It was the "Moraea Temple" domain.
The authority of dreams manifested in reality.
…
Finally, Qin Yu spotted his target and quietly got out of bed.
Ying was meditating by the pool.
Steam rose, obscuring her flawless body, and in the haze, her curvaceous figure appeared even more alluring.
“Ying.”
Qin Yu ambushed her from behind, embracing her tightly.
The esteemed leader was soft and comfortable to hold, bringing great satisfaction.
And with her vast fortune, she was truly generous.
One hand couldn’t even count the extent of her assets.
“…You’re awake, Yu.”
Ying's eyelashes fluttered, but she did not open her eyes.
She felt the intimate contact with Qin Yu, her cheeks flushing.
“Ying, please look at me properly.”
Qin Yu held the esteemed leader, gently kissed the water droplets from her face, and smiled.
Still meditating? Look at how her eyelashes are trembling.
Qin Yu, at a glance, saw through the esteemed leader's pretense of calmness.
He patted the delicate skin of the woman in his arms, gently comforting her.
The esteemed leader, with her perfectly suited wife-like face, had finally become a mature wife.
Qin Yu’s wife.
“…”
Ying gently opened her watery purple eyes and glanced at Qin Yu.
That tenderness lingered.
“I won the martial arts spar just now.”
She lifted her chin, her tone serious.
Yes, Ying had won the second martial arts spar.
“Esteemed Leader, you were not honorable.”
Qin Yu looked at the unyielding esteemed leader and chuckled helplessly.
He recalled the spar with Ying just now…
At first, the flow of the battle was normal.
They both used their elemental power, engaging in a tug-of-war.
This was a battle to determine their family status.
Well, Qin Yu was the first to break the honorable code and called for help from his friends.
Referring to the Dendro Archon, Great Dream Tree King’s wife, and the Dendro Archon Nahida's Dendro power.
Combined with Electro power to complete Hyperbloom, they attacked, forcing the esteemed leader to retreat and be unable to defend.
She even gained the upper hand and controlled the scabbard at one point.
Sharpening the blade, those who know, know.
Two Archons against one, the elemental power had a decisive advantage.
Moreover, in terms of practical combat experience, the Dendro Archon and Electro Archon were not on the same level.
Advantage: Mine!
But later, the situation changed.
Ying, from somewhere, obtained sufficient Electro energy and began to claw back the disadvantage.
That feeling…
It was as if someone was helping Ying from behind!
Qin Yu certainly wouldn't accept this and strengthened his elemental power.
After a period of struggle, it was difficult to determine the winner.
The esteemed leader, a martial artist by origin, possessed extremely powerful physical abilities.
After adapting to the rhythm and learning new martial skills, she began to counterattack.
Suddenly, Qin Yu gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Just as the situation became critical…
The wise little Dendro Archon, Nahida, thought of a solution.
She deployed the "Moraea Temple" domain.
Yes, that was…
[Combat Talent: Mindscape Illusion]
[Manifest the Temple of Dreams and deploy the "Moraea Temple" domain.]
[And provide various buffs.]
The buffs here are quite significant.
Simply put, it could provide Qin Yu with an attack power boost and extend the duration of his combat skills.
Truly worthy of the God of Wisdom, to have thought of this.
Qin Yu suddenly understood and directly followed her instructions.
But don't forget, he still had the Dendro Archon's Constellations.
The first Constellation, which temporarily increased buffs, is not worth mentioning.
The second Constellation…
Attacking an "enemy" in a Seed of'`]]`State triggers a critical hit and reduces their defense.
How powerful this effect was in actual combat, those who know, know.
The esteemed leader’s health bar was about to disappear!
However, Qin Yu miscalculated.
Just as he thought the battle was about to be decided.
Ying, as if someone was reminding her from behind, reacted.
As the Electro Archon, she still had a second form.
She directly activated her authority and locked all of Qin Yu’s abilities!
…
What would be Qin Yu's fate when facing the esteemed leader after losing his abilities?
Those who know, know.
