Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"ah...!"

Just as Lu Feng was feeling sentimental, a piercing scream suddenly came from behind him.

The next moment, Lu Xiaoxiang suddenly appeared beside Tianyun Pond, her hands tightly covering her eyes, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment, as if she dared not look directly at Lu Feng's muscular chest.

"Miss Lu?!"

"So you didn't leave...!"

Upon seeing that the person who came was Lu Xiaoxiang, Lu Feng was also stunned for a moment, and immediately put on his clothes.

Although he had been with countless women and was a seasoned veteran, Lu Xiaoxiang was still a virgin, so Lu Feng was too embarrassed to be too revealing, lest she be seen as a lecherous rogue.

Moreover, as the old saying goes, men and women should not touch each other.

Although Lu Feng and Lu Xiaoxiang have a close relationship, it's still far from official, so they need to avoid suspicion at times, otherwise it could easily cause misunderstandings among outsiders!

"You...you...you...you'd better put your clothes on right now! I didn't see anything...!"

Lu Xiaoxiang still tightly covered her eyes, and said in a flustered tone, seemingly captivated by Lu Feng's muscular physique, not daring to look at him a second time.

"Uh, Miss Lu, I'm sorry!"

Faced with Lu Xiaoxiang's urgent urging, Lu Feng scratched his head, then gave an awkward smile, "I didn't mean to, I just thought you had gone back..."

After all, he wasn't an exhibitionist, and he didn't have a habit of streaking, so even without Lu Xiaoxiang's reminder, he wouldn't walk around naked in front of her.

"That narcissistic jerk definitely did it on purpose...!"

"And, can a boy's thing really grow that big...?"

Lu Xiaoxiang did not reply to Lu Feng's explanation. She kept her hands tightly covering her eyes, while secretly complaining in her heart, as if she had just accidentally seen a terrifying "giant".

"Miss Lu, thank you very much!"

"If it weren't for the help of this large mouthful of Heavenly Cloud Pool water, I wouldn't have been able to increase my strength so much and step into the half-step Yuanhai Realm in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiang was still covering her eyes and did not react, Lu Feng immediately composed himself, then cupped his hands in gratitude towards her.

At first, he was a little puzzled as to why Lu Xiaoxiang had suddenly brought him to Tianyun Pool. Now, after absorbing the pure spiritual energy inside Tianyun Pool, Lu Feng finally understood the former's good intentions.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiang immediately opened her eyes. When she saw the vast, dried-up pit opposite her, her pupils constricted sharply. "Lu Feng, you...! You've drained the entire Tianyun Pool dry?!"

After all, Tianyun Pool is the ancestral treasure of the Lu family. The pool water not only contains a large amount of pure spiritual energy, but ordinary mortals can also strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives by simply drinking a mouthful of the pool water!

In just half a day, Lu Feng had completely drained the entire Tianyun Pool, leaving not a single water stain. Lu Xiaoxiang was naturally extremely shocked.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Cloud Pool water, which contains a large amount of pure spiritual energy, does not fall from the sky. Instead, it is formed by the slow gushing and gathering of springs underground. The process is not only extremely slow, but also takes more than a day to complete!

Now, Lu Feng has completely drained the entire Tianyun Pool in one go. Given the rate at which the spring water gathers, it will take at least fifty years for it to return to its original state!

This is why Lu Xiaoxiang was so shocked and felt a pang of heartache.

Because at first she only wanted to repay Lu Feng for saving her life, she never expected that he would be so outrageous as to drain Tianyun Pool dry in one go!

"Uh, yes...!"

Seemingly noticing the fleeting pain and heartache on Lu Xiaoxiang's face, Lu Feng scratched his head awkwardly, then said, "Miss Lu, I'm so sorry! I accidentally absorbed all the water from this Heavenly Cloud Pool..."

"I don't have any valuables on me right now, only some pills and spiritual plants. If you don't come forward, Miss Lu, please accept this as a small apology to you and the Lu family head."

Without further ado, Lu Feng took out a mid-grade storage ring from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

This storage ring not only contains the century-old Candle Dragon Root that he acquired from Han Buli and others at Baibaoxuan, but also the leftover near-seventh-grade Jade Ice Skin Pill that he refined for Liu Lanyu. Although its value is not comparable to this large mouthful of Heavenly Cloud Pool water, it is better than nothing!

"Hey! Fine, consider it a debt I owe you...!"

Lu Xiaoxiang glanced at the mid-grade storage ring Lu Feng handed her, her pretty face flickering with a complex expression. Finally, she sighed helplessly, "Anyway, leaving this huge gulp of Heavenly Cloud Pool water here is a waste. It's not a bad thing if you absorb it all; it's better than letting that bastard Jin Tai benefit from it in the end...!"

After saying that, Lu Xiaoxiang also raised her hand to accept the intermediate-level storage ring, clearly no longer pursuing the matter of the drying up of Tianyun Pool.

"Hehe, Miss Lu is right, we're practically family! Not to mention our relationship is stronger than gold! That bastard Jin Tai is just an outsider, he can't compare at all...!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng quickly shamelessly moved closer and then skillfully began to flatter him.

"Come on!"

Lu Xiaoxiang rolled her eyes at Lu Feng, who was trying to get close to her, and said somewhat irritably, "The reason why Tianyunfang is so famous and was chosen by the Lu family ancestors as their ancestral home is all because of this rare and precious Tianyun Pool water."

"If Father and the other members of the Lu family find out that Tianyun Pond has dried up, it'll cause an uproar in no time! Then even if I wanted to help you out, it would be difficult...!"

At this point, Lu Xiaoxiang once again swung her fist and gave Lu Feng's chest a "heavy punch," which had a flirtatious and coquettish feel to it.

Lu Feng, however, changed the subject with a grin, saying, "Hehe, Miss Lu, you're mistaken. I believe that with your father's magnanimity, he wouldn't hold such a trivial matter against me..."

"Young Miss!"

Just as the two were exchanging flirtatious words, a hurried, hoarse voice suddenly came from the side.

Swish!

The next moment, a thin, dark figure suddenly emerged from the bottom of Tianyun Pool and landed in front of Lu Xiaoxiang in one swift step. His face was full of solemnity. It was none other than Lin Nan, one of Lu Jinyuan's former trusted confidants.

"Uncle Lin?"

"Holy crap! Could this be the art of earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to burrow underground)?"

Upon seeing Lin Nan's sudden appearance, not only was Lu Xiaoxiang taken aback, but even Lu Feng beside her had a strange expression. "Wait a minute! Was this guy just peeking?"

After all, he had just been soaking in the Tianyun Pool and practicing his skills, while Lin Nan suddenly emerged from the bottom of the Tianyun Pool. It was hard not to suspect his sexual orientation!

"Young Miss! Something terrible has happened! We've received news from the Jin family...!"

Ignoring Lu Feng's strange look, Lin Nan bowed slightly to Lu Xiaoxiang opposite him, then took out a pure white jade pendant engraved with ancient seal script from his pocket. His face was full of unease, as if a great disaster was about to befall him.

"This is... the Kim family's 'Expelling Guest Jade'!"

Lu Xiaoxiang took the pure white jade from Lin Nan and saw the words "Expel Guests" engraved on it. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then a hint of fear appeared in her beautiful eyes. She seemed to recognize the origin of the jade.
