"Oh~ such a pert and tender white radish!" Zhang Chen’s eyes glanced at the two white and tender radishes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This tender radish was smoother and more delicate than a woman’s, especially the firm protrusion that made people almost want to give it a smack.
"Smack~"
Zhang Chen gave the white radish a pat, just like an old man smacking someone in a sauna, teasingly saying, "I have to say, for a big man, even women would envy the shapeliness of this buttocks."
But Zhang Chen never thought about it, what if the white radish in front of him belonged to a woman? After all, how could a man have such a nice protruding and attractive white radish?
"Zhang Chen! You rogue, I won’t let you get away with this!" At this moment, Zhong Xiang’s eyes were red, his voice filled with fury.
"If you keep being stubborn, I might just backstab you." Zhang Chen chuckled, pinching the tender white radish.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiang immediately fell silent. Then Zhang Chen carefully examined the pair of tender white radishes, his face full of surprise, "No wonder you have an undying body, even after two stabs there aren’t any scars left at all."
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen thrust his ice-knife down.
The ice-knife, carrying a faint osmanthus fragrance, pierced into Zhong Xiang’s buttocks. In the next moment, terrifying flames burst out once again, causing the lava to turn into a stream in a breath, and the two sank further into the lava.
Zhang Chen activated the Ice Freeze Technique and sealed himself in ice. As he performed the Ice Seal Technique, the laurel in his magical power emitted strands of Qi Mechanism, infusing his Ice Freeze Technique with inexplicable changes, slowing the melting speed of the flames against the ice.
It was as if a piece of ice was thrown into a furnace, the melting speed was still very fast, but it was no longer unreasonably rapid.
"That osmanthus, truly a product from the beginning of Heaven and Earth, infusing a trace of Qi Mechanism into my skill, causes my skill to transform. These items from the dawn of creation are really amazing," Zhang Chen muttered to himself with surprise evident in his voice.
Most importantly, his ice seemed to have gained some resistance; even without activating the Fire Extinguishing Rune, the heat of the flames couldn’t easily penetrate the ice to roast him.
He could even see the ice-knife piercing Zhong Xiang’s buttocks. Even directly facing Zhong Xiang’s flames, the melting speed had significantly reduced.
Moreover, accompanied by the fragrance of osmanthus, Zhang Chen noticed that his magical power not only became more durable, but even his recovery speed increased, at least fivefold.
Even his soul consumption quickly recovered under the fragrance of the osmanthus.
"This osmanthus is truly a great treasure! It’s just a flower dropped from an old laurel tree. If it were the laurel tree itself..." Zhang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of longing, "The mysteries between Heaven and Earth are really unimaginable."
The two rapidly sank in the lava, until the ice-knife completely melted, Zhong Xiang’s buttocks fully recovered, and the emergence of the flames finally ceased.
Zhang Chen repeated his previous actions, controlling the water flow to push the lava out of the channel. Before long, the underground lava was completely cleared out.
"Your Majesty, how is the situation below?" Chen Xu saw Zhang Chen pushing the lava out of the cave and hurried to ask.
"We’ve dug a hundred meters deep underground, but still haven’t found the entrance you mentioned," Zhang Chen replied.
Chen Xu’s face changed upon hearing this, fearing Zhang Chen’s reprimand, his eyes full of dread, "That can’t be right! Did I make a mistake? Whose tomb could be built a hundred meters under rock?"
"For a mysterious tomb, no matter how outrageous, it’s still normal," Zhang Chen reassured Chen Xu with a word.
In his memory, that Ancient Divine People buried the tomb five hundred meters underground; at present, they’ve only dug a hundred meters, not even one-fifth of the way.
With that ’Emperor’s’ power, setting a tomb spanning hundreds of miles, larger than a third or fourth-tier city, if not built deep, wouldn’t it easily collapse? Or be exposed?
"How is that noble individual?" Zhong Xiang, relieved by Zhang Chen’s explanation, couldn’t help but ask.
"Doing just fine, apart from the buttock being stabbed, everything’s good," Zhang Chen replied with a grin.
Chen Xu was astounded upon hearing this, his eyes looked at Zhang Chen in horror, subconsciously tightening his buttocks. He never expected that the Divine Being in front of him would have such a hobby, a literary sect prodigy being treated like this?
That is a rare prodigy in the Confucian sect, one of the two leaders, and this matter is a disgrace to the sect. Once it gets out, wouldn’t the entire Confucian sect hunt him down?
Yet, this is something he neither dared to speak of nor ask about, only lowering his head and clenching his buttocks tightly, silently thinking, "I remember those nobles seemed to enjoy this sort of thing."
Busy with manipulating the water flow to extinguish the lava, Zhang Chen had no time to mind Chen Xu’s thoughts. He turned and once again controlled the water flow to sneak inside the cave, catching sight of Zhong Xiang using fabric strips to wrap tightly around his buttocks, trying to cover the torn clothing. When he saw Zhang Chen walk in, a look of horror flashed across his face, and he quickly shrank into a corner, staring at Zhang Chen with terror.
At this moment, the mountain spring water flowed down, already submerging his knees, Zhong Xiang hugged his knees in the water, looking at Zhang Chen with a face full of fear, "Don’t come over! Don’t come over!"
