Spring-Autumn and Rainmist were now outside the pool. They were getting dressed. Spring-Autumn grabbed inside his cloak and fished out a fresh pair of underwear for Rainmist. It was a cla.s.sic white lace underwear. He watched her slip them on with an interested gaze. "Never seen a woman change before?" Rainmist teased.
The white lace panties hugged tightly against her b.u.t.t.
"It"s always nice to a see beautiful woman change,"
"Oh, how flattering," She said, pretending to blush. Spring-Autumn felt like a huge part of her charm was the fact that she almost never blushed or became embarra.s.sed. Everything he"s done to her or asked for her to do, she always did with a confident smile without a trace of embarra.s.sment. It was a huge contrast to other women who he had interacted with who blushed just from him looking at them lewdly.
After Rainmist finished putting her bra on, Spring-Autumn fished her a blue dress. Rainmist grabbed the dress hesitantly and said, "Another color, maybe?"
Spring-Autumn understood what she was trying to say and handed her a white dress. She smiled and gladly received it. Nowadays, Rainmist tended to avoid the color blue. It was not the best way to handle things, but it worked for her.
After handling her business, he started to get dressed too. White dress shirt, gray pleated pants, penny loafer. The option of walking around naked was optional but he would have to wear his cloak anyway so he might as well get dressed.
"Shall we leave now?" Spring-Autumn asked and reached his hand out for Rainmist to grab it.
After emerging from the pool, Rainmist was many times more beautiful. Her skin was so flawless and beautiful that it looked like it was glowing. Dressed in an innocent white dress, she was the mature woman of many men"s dreams.
Rainmist grabbed his hands and they began to walk away from the [Tree of Life]. The [Tree of Life] still looked as huge as the first time they"d seen it. Its huge size gave the impression that it would exist for all of eternity.
Holding hands, they walked across the gra.s.sy field to the waterfall where they came from. The waterfall in which the source was a simple pond.
They reached the place where the colorful water changed color to a solid white. The transition between the colors looked unreal. At this moment, Spring-Autumn noticed something interesting about this transition.
"..."
He stopped in his tracks.
"What"s wrong?" Rainmist asked, tilting her head to the side.
"There"s something here," Spring-Autumn said. "Can you wait here?"
"Sure," Rainmist"s trust in Spring-Autumn was unwavering. She trusted whatever he had to say.
Spring-Autumn began to clad himself in mana to make himself waterproof and jumped into the water. While they were fooling around in the pool, they just lingered at the edge so they would"ve missed this feature in the middle.
At the transition from the colorful water to the white water, Spring-Autumn noticed a bone! A huge bone at that. It was submerged in the rocks and sand so only a little peaked out. He traced his hand along the floor of the river and he could feel the bone getting bigger.
The white water completely blocked his view so he could not see what kind of bone it was that he was touching. When he tried to lift it up, he found himself to be too weak to lift it up. With his strength that was almost 50 times the strength of a man, the bone had to be extremely heavy for him to not be able to lift it up.
He swam all the way back to the middle of the pool where the bone emerged from the floor. Using his hands, he could feel that even with several people combined, they would not be able to surround this bone.
Right away, his mind began to work itself. He had seen the way some monsters emerge out of thin air. Could it be that this monster was in the process of coming out but died in the process?
From its sheer size, it was without a doubt that it was many times stronger than the black dragon. Spring-Autumn felt gooseb.u.mps at the thought that even a monster like this could die. He had to become stronger, strong enough to be able to handle even an unknown monster like this easily so he could explore the world!
Picking up from the line of thinking earlier, it was possible that this water did not turn this way from the [Tree of Life]. It was more likely that the decomposed corpse of this unknown monster injected the colored water with its energy, turning it into [Essence Water].
He had no way to prove it but it was something his intuition was telling him. With his curiosity quelled, He jumped out of the water and glided his way over to the gra.s.sy river bank where Rainmist was obediently waiting for him. She was easily spotted in her prominent white dress.
"What did you find?" Rainmist asked.
"We were bathing in monster s.e.m.e.n," Spring-Autumn said seriously.
"What?" Rainmist"s face visibly paled and she hurriedly looked at her precious skin which she took care of so much.
Spring-Autumn laughed at her exaggerated reaction and tried to calm her down, "I"m kidding, I"m kidding,"
Rainmist let out a visible sigh of relief before slapping him angrily, "That"s not funny!"
This caused Spring-Autumn to laugh even harder.
"Come on, let"s go," He reached his hand out for her to grab.
"Don"t talk to me!" She pouted and looked away.
