"Could it be that Lady Chu Lingxi hasn't heard? There is a special power near the Burial Spirit Pool that prevents the deployment of formations."
"Furthermore, the Ancient Snake Clan has a rule — when the Burial Spirit Pool is opened to the public, they never set foot inside it."
"As for everyone else, they simply cannot enter this place."
"Because those flying insects were almost all captured by Chu Feng. Even if others knew the key to coming here, they wouldn't stand a chance."
Xia Yun'er said this with great confidence.
And as she spoke, she had already shed her clothes and gracefully descended into the water.
"As you wish." As Chu Lingxi spoke, she dove toward the depths of the Burial Spirit Pool.
Seeing this, Xia Yun'er smiled a sultry smile, then also dove toward the depths of the Burial Spirit Pool. Before long, she caught up to Chu Lingxi.
Although it was true that in order to comprehend anything within the Burial Spirit Pool, one needed to be fully submerged in its waters…
The origin of the Burial Spirit Pool was definitely not as simple as the rumors suggested. Many people had truly died here, and the depths of the Burial Spirit Pool were a genuine underwater graveyard.
Regardless of one's cultivation level, once someone crossed the boundary that should never be crossed, they would die in the depths of the Burial Spirit Pool, entombed within it for eternity.
No one knew exactly where that boundary lay, so neither of them dared venture too deep.
"Lady Chu Lingxi, I wasn't lying to you. Removing your clothes and being bare within the Burial Spirit Pool truly does allow one to better comprehend the mysteries within."
"Besides, we're both women — there's no need to be shy. Why don't you strip as well?" Xia Yun'er said to Chu Lingxi.
"Whether it's men or women, I don't have the habit of being undressed in front of anyone," Chu Lingxi said.
"That doesn't matter among women. And as for men, I have never bared my body in front of a man either," Xia Yun'er said.
"Is that so? Then what if, a moment from now, a man happened to enter this place and saw your body? What would you do?" Chu Lingxi asked with curiosity.
"No matter who it is, as long as he is a man and he sees my body without my permission, I will first gouge out his eyes, then cut off his tongue, and finally tear his body to pieces," Xia Yun'er said.
"Why gouge out the eyes first, then cut off the tongue, and only then kill him? Wouldn't it be more straightforward to simply kill him outright?" Chu Lingxi said.
"Those who see what they shouldn't see deserve to be punished," Xia Yun'er said.
Hearing this, a faint smile curved the corner of Chu Lingxi's lips.
She was becoming ever more certain that Xia Yun'er was a ruthless woman.
But toward ruthless women, Chu Lingxi actually felt no aversion — because in a sense, she herself was also a ruthless woman.
"Lady Chu Lingxi, the eruption is about to begin. Close your eyes and focus, waiting for the eruption to arrive. This will help with your comprehension," Xia Yun'er said.
"Don't tell me this isn't your first time here? You can actually judge the signs of the eruption based on the changes in the water ripples?" Chu Lingxi said, somewhat surprised.
"So it would seem that this isn't your first time here either, Lady Chu Lingxi. In that case, my reminder was rather unnecessary," Xia Yun'er said.
At this, Chu Lingxi and Xia Yun'er exchanged a smile. They both felt that since they were people who each harbored their own secrets, there was no need to ask any further questions.
Afterward, the two of them closed their eyes and set up a formation, hiding it within their palms. This formation was to be used the moment the water erupted, and it would also aid in comprehending the mysteries within the pool water.
However, precisely because they were focused on waiting for the eruption to arrive, they failed to notice that a figure had already passed through the stone forest and was approaching the Burial Spirit Pool.
And that person was none other than Chu Feng.
"That should be the Burial Spirit Pool, right?" the Queen said.
"It should be," Chu Feng replied, his face alight with joy. At the very least, the trip had not been in vain.
"But why don't I see Xia Yun'er?" the Queen asked.
