for Advance Chapter
I leaned on the warm pool water, sipped a cold juice, looked at this "Galaxy Ninja" who was only wrapped in a bath towel and had a serious expression, nodded, and signaled her to speak.
Although her dress paired with this secondary-school tone was really a bit discordant, I was still very curious about what she wanted to "ask for advice" on.
Seeing I agreed, Rappa leaned closer, lowered her voice, and said slowly in a tone of sharing top-secret intelligence: "Master Bat Ninja, the thing is like this. Today, I was fortunate to follow Master Jingliu to learn the supreme ninja arts..."
She paused, her eyes full of confusion and a touch of... worship?
"In the process of cultivation, I was surprised to discover that Master Jingliu's body actually contained two completely different but equally powerful 'Path' powers! One is the power of Destruction like the cold hell, and the other is the life breath like the spring breeze turning into rain! T-this is unheard of! I am afraid this is the root of the master's unfathomable strength, far exceeding the ordinary ninjas like us?!"
(Uh... completely wrong, okay... Jingliu is currently because the "factor" is unstable, and can only maintain the state of Abundance, her strength is far worse than her peak Destruction state... How did this girl reach this conclusion?) I complained frantically in my heart, but my face remained calm.
Rappa continued, her tone carrying a bit of distress: "However, when I boldly asked Master Jingliu how she mastered two completely opposite 'Ultimate' powers at the same time, Master... she would always blush inexplicably, and then turn around quickly, talking about something else, just refusing to answer my question head-on!"
(Pff—!) Hearing this, I couldn't hold back anymore, and the bite of juice I just drank almost sprayed out on the spot! I hurried to swallow forcibly, choking until I coughed repeatedly.
There were ten thousand alpaca beasts galloping through my heart!
(That's of course! Does Jingliu let you tell you personally that her ability was obtained because I've been pressing her on the bed for 'in-depth exchange' every day for the past few days?! Doesn't she want face?!)
Rappa didn't notice my abnormality at all, still analyzing on her own: "I thought about it, among all the masters I know, the one who can master multiple Path powers at the same time and knows this best is probably only you! After all, your body also contains that mysterious and unpredictable power!"
She looked at me, her eyes full of thirst for knowledge and expectation: "So! I am here to ask Master Bat Ninja for advice! You must know the secret of mastering multiple Path powers at the same time, right?!"
I: "..."
I calmed down the agitated mood brought by choking on juice and the frantic complaints in my heart, raised my hand to scratch my somewhat swollen head.
What should be done... looking at Rappa's clear eyes that shined with pure thirst for knowledge, I couldn't directly tell her: "Ah, that ability, it's very simple, you find a 'special individual' like me, and then make love with him day and night, absorbing his 'essence', and if you absorb enough, you will probably be able to switch Paths temporarily too."
The mere thought of saying it out loud made me feel like a total creep, whether Rappa believed it or not!
Just as I was racking my brain, trying to think of a tactful (or rather, equally "chunibyo") way to explain the mystery of "multiple Paths" to Rappa without exposing the embarrassing truth behind it...
A graceful, curvaceous silhouette emerged slowly from the hazy mist, looking like a fairy stepping out of the moonlight. As she drew closer, I recognized her face—it was Lingsha!
My gaze instinctively drifted downward, and I felt a sudden rush of blood surge straight to a certain part of my body!
Lingsha... she was walking toward us completely naked! It seemed she had just finished bathing at the other end of the pool and was heading our way.
Her flawless Vidyadhara body, glistening with warm spring water, appeared even more translucent, like a water lily blooming after a rain, exuding a sacred yet lethal allure.
Water droplets rolled slowly down her smooth skin, gliding over her perfectly shaped, full, and firm snowy breasts, flowing past her flat, tight abdomen, and finally disappearing into the mysterious private area below—partially obscured by the ripples but still faintly visible in outline... This image of a beauty emerging from the bath was erotic to the extreme. Just standing there, she formed a masterpiece capable of making any man's blood boil.
This vivid, exotic, and sacred scene caused my lower half to rise uncontrollably once again!
Beside me, Rappa was clearly scared witless by this sudden, intensely erotic sight!
With a small "Eek!", she scurried behind me like a frightened rabbit, peeking out with only half her head. Her cheeks were so red they looked ready to drip blood. She didn't dare look at Lingsha directly, instead stammering out a panicked scolding: "L-Lesser Snake Ninja! (It seems she's convinced Lingsha is some kind of snake-based cyborg...) W-what are you doing?! In broad daylight... or rather, under the bright moon and sparse stars, how can you be so... so indecent! This is absolutely scandalous!"
Lingsha seemed completely unfazed by Rappa's accusations.
She moved with light, elegant steps, bringing a warm aura as she stood before us. A faint, knowing, and playful smile played on her lips. In a voice as melodious as a clear spring, she said, "Hehe, Sister Rappa, don't be alarmed. I am bathing, of course. What else does one do in a hot spring pool?"
She paused, her gaze lingering on the two of us with a hint of mischief. "It's just..."
"Just what?" Rappa asked curiously, peeking out from behind me.
"It's just..." Lingsha's smile deepened. "I happened to be nearby and heard that Sister Rappa has hit a bottleneck in her cultivation? That you are quite puzzled by the mystery of 'multiple Paths'?" She tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. "As it happens, I know... a thing or two about that."
"Eh?!" Upon hearing this, Rappa's intense curiosity instantly overrode her shyness. She jumped out from behind me, her eyes shining as she looked at Lingsha. "Oh?! Sister Snake Ninja! You... you possess such divine power as well? Quick! Tell me everything!"
