Shi Yan secretly restored his depleted Jingyuan (Essence Vitality) and quietly watched the surface for any movement. He had no idea if the White Blade Jade Spider would return, nor if Mo Yanyu or Karu had arrived. To be safe, he decided to remain at the bottom of the pool for a while longer to ensure there was no lingering danger before leaving.

The Jingyuan flowed slowly through his body. During this period of cultivation, he recovered a portion more of his vital energy, noticing his senses had become sharper; even submerged in the water, he could hear the slightest rustle of wind through the grass above.

Before long, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared on the bank, stopping beside a rock, glaring around with intense malice.

Shi Yan’s heart tightened. He stealthily submerged himself another three meters, ensuring that Mo Yanyu on the shore could not see him before he quietly began to move through the water.

Shi Yan moved incredibly slowly, afraid that too much disturbance would alter the pool's subtle currents. His focus absolute, he navigated the depths like a swimming fish, circling around in all directions for a time, observing the bank from every angle.

Only after confirming that Mo Yanyu was alone did he slowly approach the stone beneath her feet. From the bottom of the pool, he looked up at her slightly blurred figure. After a moment's hesitation, Shi Yan began to float upward, inch by agonizing inch.

"Damned bastard, don't let me catch you, or I'll make you wish you were dead!" Mo Yanyu ground her silver teeth, silently cursing on the bank, her anger building the more she thought about it.

Splash!

A figure suddenly burst from the water beneath her feet. Mo Yanyu gave a horrified start. Before she could react, she felt one of her beautiful legs fiercely seized, and a surge of immense strength followed. Her elegant body tilted sharply, and she plunged directly into the pond.

Thump!

Her soft lower abdomen was struck brutally hard. An agonizing pain instantly flooded her entire body. Mo Yanyu sank rapidly, failing to catch a breath. Instead, she swallowed a mouthful of pool water, choking until tears sprang to her eyes.

When she finally registered what was happening, she realized her leg was being held captive, and she was being dragged forcefully to the bottom of the pool. Submerged, Mo Yanyu looked around sharply and immediately understood she had fallen into Shi Yan’s trap.

Bad luck!

A jolt of fear shot through Mo Yanyu. She suddenly remembered she was a poor swimmer. Not daring to tangle with Shi Yan now, she began forcefully slapping the water with both hands, intending to break for the surface to deal with him later.

Can you really escape?

Shi Yan sneered inwardly. The moment Mo Yanyu fell in, he had judged her swimming ability to be poor. Recognizing this golden opportunity, he had no intention of letting her go easily.

One hand gripped her long, smooth leg tightly, pulling downward with all his strength. His other, free fist clenched hard and hammered repeatedly against Mo Yanyu’s abdomen, determined to make her drink more water.

Bang!

Another punch slammed into Mo Yanyu’s belly. Shi Yan felt her once soft and yielding, yet perfectly toned, abdomen suddenly harden like iron stone. Despite the impact, she showed no panic and continued her determined ascent toward the surface.

Instead, Shi Yan himself felt a dull ache in his fist from the blow.

Jingyuan protection!

Shi Yan instantly realized Mo Yanyu had erected a defense. Watching her hands churn the water and her body gradually ascend, thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind.

In just three short seconds, Shi Yan hatched a new plan.

Mo Yanyu, fully exerting herself to rise upward, felt a cold sneer rise within her when she noticed the hammering on her abdomen ceased. Now let’s see what tricks you have left.

Before she could rejoice, her beautiful face suddenly lost all color, contorting into an expression of furious ugliness.

Though one of Shi Yan’s hands remained clamped firmly around her leg, his other hand was now aggressively exploring the cleft between her buttocks and the lush greenery there. The most private, sacred territory of her lower body, a place forbidden to men, was now being brazenly handled by Shi Yan. The shame almost drove Mo Yanyu to suicide!

She was just preparing to fight Shi Yan to the death when she suddenly realized her sheer, thin trousers had been yanked completely down, and even her small undergarment was torn. Her entire lower body was exposed beneath Shi Yan's large hand.

The marvelous sanctuary, never before witnessed by any man, was being violated so wantonly, and Mo Yanyu froze, stunned.

A thick, long finger suddenly pushed in between the folds of her fragrant growth. Mo Yanyu’s delicate body convulsed as if struck by a massive blow. An electric current coursed through her, and she felt her bladder involuntarily release, a warm flow running downward.

Shi Yan also trembled violently, but it was not a tremor of pleasure. He was being shocked by the lightning that flowed out of Mo Yanyu’s body. That electrical surge seemed to erupt whenever Mo Yanyu was violated, numbing his hands and feet, robbing him of all strength instantly.

Mo Yanyu suddenly felt her body loosen. She realized Shi Yan had released his grip. Instantly sobered, she struck the water with furious grief, and her elegant body finally broke the surface.

Below, Shi Yan looked up, watching the sight of Mo Yanyu’s pale, beautiful legs dangling above, her snow-white hip curving gracefully, the fragrant growth between her legs visible.

His body felt numb and weak; he could only watch helplessly as Mo Yanyu surged toward a rock at the edge of the pool.

Mo Yanyu quickly reached the rock on the bank, gripping it with one hand. The flames of hatred danced in her beautiful eyes, and she nearly shattered her silver teeth. "Beast! Come out here!"

Her trousers gone, her lower body still submerged, she dared not emerge fully. She could only stand there, shouting with a hatred as deep as the ocean, lightning coiling around her fingers, ready to strike Shi Yan dead at any moment.

The Jingyuan slowly circulated within his body. After completing a minor cycle, the numbness in Shi Yan’s body lessened considerably. Submerged in the pool, Shi Yan stared at Mo Yanyu by the bank's rock for a moment, swallowing hard. He thought that while this woman was as venomous as a scorpion, her appearance and figure were truly exceptional, beyond compare.

Seeing that Mo Yanyu was now fully alert, Shi Yan knew dragging her back into the water was nearly impossible. This woman possessed cultivation at the Innate Realm and held the 'Lightning Martial Spirit.' With her guard up, he had absolutely no chance of succeeding again.

Mo Yanyu was causing such a commotion; perhaps Karu and those Mo Family warriors would soon arrive. If he didn't leave now, he might never escape.

Recognizing the situation, Shi Yan no longer hesitated. He swam across the pool to the opposite bank and emerged from the water where Mo Yanyu couldn't see him.

His lower body, slightly roused, involuntarily pushed his clothing into a small tent shape. He looked across the water at Mo Yanyu and sneered mockingly, "That warm stuff that just flowed out of you—what was that exactly? Don't tell me I managed to give you pleasure?"

Mo Yanyu, naked from the waist down, dared not come ashore. Hearing this, her body shook, and she shrieked hysterically, "I will kill you! I swear I will kill you! I swear it! I will slice you into a thousand pieces!"

Shi Yan’s expression turned cold. "Bitch! Now that I’ve played with you like that, I wonder if you still have the nerve to marry! You still want to kill me? Heh heh, next time what enters your body won't be my finger!"

In full view of Mo Yanyu, Shi Yan violently thrust his burgeoning tent, let out a cold laugh, and before she could fully explode, he leaped away, diving into the thicket, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Mo Yanyu gasped for air, sending bolts of lightning from her fingers. They traveled about a hundred meters before dissolving into sparks, failing to even cross the pool, much less harm Shi Yan.

Breathing heavily, Mo Yanyu’s eyes burned with endless hatred, like a surging river. She wanted to pursue, but she dared not move while naked below the waist. After a long wait, ensuring Shi Yan would not return, she swam to the center of the pool and retrieved her floating clothes to put them back on.

"Miss Mo wasn't chasing someone? How do you have leisure time for a bath in the pool?"

Just as she finished dressing and stepped onto the bank, Mo Yanyu heard Karu’s ominous voice. She quickly turned to see Karu, his eyes blazing like a hungry wolf, fixed on her beautiful, wet form that clung revealingly to her curves. Startled, Mo Yanyu suppressed her surging anger, gritting her teeth. "I was dragged into the pool by that damnable little thief!"

"Oh?" Karu’s gaze swept greedily over her body once before he nodded, his expression strangely cautious. "Miss Mo, you... weren't harmed in any way, were you?"

"No!" Mo Yanyu immediately shook her head, her expression icy. "It’s just that my swimming is poor, and he managed to escape."

"Which direction?" Karu frowned. "This brat’s physique is bizarre; he isn't even affected by the Broken Gut Powder. He's a fine potential medicine slave; I can’t let him slip through my fingers."

"I'll go pursue him immediately!" Mo Yanyu’s hatred was boiling, but she didn't want to waste time talking to Karu. She swiftly took off in the direction Shi Yan had fled.

The moment she turned, Karu’s eyes locked onto her exquisitely curved back, his cold gaze sharp and predatory as a viper's.

He glared venomously at her breasts, which seemed even fuller due to the soaking wet fabric clinging to them. Only after Mo Yanyu’s beautiful body had completely disappeared into the thicket did Karu let out a pair of lewd chuckles before he bolted away with electric speed, chasing after her.
