CHAPTER 734: CHAPTER 739: FORBIDDEN AREA OF HEAVENLY SECRETS

The final competition is only three days away, and since Ling Chen was unconscious for a day, he only has two days left to recover from his injuries. Although the injuries are not severe, it is clearly impossible to recover to the best condition within two days. Even with Shi Su here, who is reputed to be the best in medical skills, it probably cannot be done.

In order to maintain the best condition on the day of the competition, Ling Chen didn’t go anywhere, and he lay in bed peacefully under the care of Xia Yue and porridge girl, quietly recuperating for the upcoming competition.

Having stayed in the room for two days, Ling Chen felt a bit stuffy and wanted to go out for a walk, but porridge girl and Qiu Yong wouldn’t let him, insisting he stay in bed and not even set foot on the floor. Fortunately, he had porridge girl by his side; otherwise, he would be truly bored.

"One more day until the competition, just bear with it," porridge girl said.

Ling Chen, leaning on the pillow helplessly, held a bowl of clear porridge, along with a few snacks from Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and casually had his dinner.

After Ling Chen finished eating, porridge girl took the empty bowl from his hand and asked while cleaning up, "How do you feel about your recovery, can you perform the day after tomorrow?"

"I can perform, but it might be difficult to recover one hundred percent," Ling Chen said truthfully.

Actually, Ling Chen was more worried about his physical condition than anyone else. After all, his opponent was Wang Hao, and if he couldn’t maintain his best condition, even with many tricks up his sleeve, he wouldn’t be able to defeat Wang Hao.

...

Nightfall.

The night is deep, the area outside the room is silent, only the mountain wind breezes through the woods, bringing a rustling sound of the branches.

Ling Chen opened his eyes, yawned, and then sat up in bed. Turning on the light, he looked around and found that there was no one else in the room, not even porridge girl.

No one around, perfect!

Ling Chen smiled to himself, got out of bed, changed into clean clothes, and walked out of the room alone.

These two days were either spent eating or sleeping, making up for a week’s worth of sleep, and now at eleven o’clock at night, Ling Chen wasn’t sleepy at all. He hadn’t left the house in two days, taking the chance while unmonitored to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air.

Although Xu Ming and Su Mei had warned him to be careful outside, Ling Chen wasn’t overly worried. Everyone knew he was recuperating in his room with specialized care; sneaking out now, he guessed no one would know, and he believed being cautious wouldn’t attract trouble.

Besides, if anyone dared try anything, he wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson. In his eyes, except for Wang Hao, the other two opponents were not worth mentioning.

Additionally, Wang Hao’s presence was a very important reason. Even if those people covertly used means against him, they would be useless as long as Wang Hao, the strongest, was still around. So, if they really wanted to target someone, it would definitely be against Wang Hao, not him.

Walking on a dim and unlighted path, Ling Chen strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back, the slightly cool mountain breeze brushing by, dispelling some of the stiffness from lying down too long.

It was nearly midnight now, many of the buildings at Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had turned off their lights, dark as pitch, only a few street lamps by the road were still on, providing Ling Chen with some light.

While walking, Ling Chen suddenly noticed a light appearing in the distant woods.

Strange!

At this time, why was there light in the woods? Could there be someone there?

Ling Chen thought to himself. Even the patrol members of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion wouldn’t light such bright lamps in the woods. Reaching the edge of the woods, Ling Chen looked into it for a while, but due to the dense foliage, he could only see faint lights projecting through the leaves and could not see the situation clearly.

After looking around outside the woods for a few moments, driven by curiosity, Ling Chen stepped toward the woods.

When Ling Chen entered the forest, a gentle mountain breeze brushed past, moving the branches and leaves in the forest. Suddenly, a stone stele appeared at the edge of the forest, engraved with the words ’Forbidden Area’. Because it had been obscured by branches and leaves, Ling Chen hadn’t noticed it earlier.

Walking deeper into the forest, Ling Chen carefully moved forward. Before long, he was surprised to find that the temperature increased the further he walked inward. Not only that, there seemed to be streams of steam wafting through the woods.

What place is this?

Ling Chen murmured to himself. As he quickened his pace, an elegant wooden hut appeared in his sight.

The billowing steam was rising from outside the wooden hut. Approaching it, Ling Chen looked up and realized that there was actually a hot spring outside the wooden house.

Wow!

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is indeed impressive, to have created a hot spring in this place. Clearly, given the location and surroundings of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, it was unlikely to have natural hot springs; this one must have been artificially made.

He also didn’t know what was added to that hot spring, but there was a faint fragrance in the steam, making one feel refreshed all over.

At that moment, Ling Chen heard the sound of splashing water coming to his ears.

There’s the sound of water?

Could someone be bathing in the hot spring?

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Ling Chen couldn’t help but walk a few steps forward. Due to the dense branches and leaves ahead, his line of sight was obstructed, so he had to stand on tiptoe and peek in the direction of the hot spring.

Suddenly, he saw a fair body soaking in the steaming hot spring.

That is... Ling Chen froze, his eyes widening several times.

Su Mei?

It was actually Su Mei!

At this moment, Su Mei was completely naked in the hot spring, her smooth shoulders covered by a thin silk scarf. Within the rising steam, Su Mei’s pretty face blushed slightly, exuding an alluring charm.

Ling Chen swallowed his saliva, his eyes fixated on Su Mei, unwilling to look away for even a moment.

In the warm hot spring water, Su Mei stretched out her fair arms, picked up the silk scarf on her shoulders, and gently wiped her body. As the scarf left her body, the round and full contours of her breasts immediately became visible.

Usually, Ling Chen saw Su Mei in clothes, but this was the first time he had seen her bare in the hot spring. It must be said, Su Mei’s body was absolutely top-notch, with well-defined curves, as fair as snow.

At that time, Su Mei stood up from the hot spring water, like a goddess emerging, incomparably beautiful.

Seeing Su Mei’s beautiful body fully revealed, Ling Chen was instantly mesmerized, his eyes unable to blink as he admired her full breasts and her waist as slender as willow.

This girl really has an incredible figure.

While pondering, Su Mei, draped in the silk scarf, walked out of the hot spring water and headed straight for the wooden hut.

Watching Su Mei enter the house, Ling Chen immediately followed. However, as the door was closed, Ling Chen could only get close to the window and gently pushed open a crack in the window.
