''Kierra?''

Seeing the other three's puzzled expression, Kierra felt as though she had to explain herself.

''Something is coming down from the realm above us.'' The archwizard casually mentioned. ''No, it is already here.''

'''' !!! ''''

This prompted the three to turn around restlessly, looking for potential dangers. At the moment, there was a chance that an Immortal was there!

Yet, Kierra remained calm and continued her way.

''It is wary of me.'' Kierra chuckled. ''What a joke.''

Making sure the other party could hear it, Kierra coldly sneered. As soon as she sensed her opponent riling up, she turned toward that direction with a snap and locked eyes with it.

In her crosshair right now was a woman in a golden robe, standing on top of a building while trying to hide her presence. The archwizard narrowed her eyes slightly; her pupils gleamed with fierce killing intent, sending chills down her opponent's spine.

''!!''

The woman—Yan Shi—hurriedly went into hiding once again, successfully avoiding direct contact with Kierra. Once at a safe distance, Yan Shi sighed in relief.

'What a monster...'

(╬≖_≖)

As a newly ascended Immortal, her position in the higher realm was basically a slave! Who asked that monster of a woman to make a fool out of the heavenly, leading to her being dispatched to the lower realm to investigate?!

Not only that, when she tried to negotiate, she almost got her ass kicked to the shadow realm instead of the lower realm!

Bah!

Blame the heavenly for being incompetent, not herself.

Nevertheless, a job was still a job, and the subject of this investigation was truly an intriguing existence. Yan Shi knew her limit, painfully so. She knew she was weaker than that 'mortal' and that she shouldn't act rashly if she wanted to keep her measly Immortal life.

'Hm... so she can wield that type of energy, huh?'

In this universe, there existed a type of energy unknown to most. Only people of the higher realm and some selected others knew what it was, and the number of people who could handle it properly was a resounding zero.

This woman was definitely an anomaly, the type that needed to be monitored.

With a newly refreshed sense of goal, Yan Shi continued tailing the archwizard.

Meanwhile, Kierra quietly pondered, walking along the corridor.

'She ran away quite fast.'

Upon a brief analysis, Kierra immediately noticed that the woman she had just laid eyes on was no ordinary. She was miles stronger than anyone she had encountered thus far and was capable of hiding away from Kierra, even if she wasn't actively searching.

An Immortal was not a joke. Not at all.

If an army of these people were to collide with Kierra, she would have no choice but to get a bit serious. But for now, the other person hadn't posed a threat just yet.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

With that in mind, Kierra diligently finished the Shaolin tour and successfully had Cosmos infiltrate their library. In the end, Abbot Xuanji turned to her with a hopeful face.

''Miss Kierra, this time, Shaolin was saved by none other than yourself.'' He bowed respectfully. ''I sincerely pay my gratitude to you and your companions who had come to our aid.''

''No problem.'' Kierra simply nodded.

''If you have any requests, please tell us.''

Seeing Xuanji's genuine attitude, Kierra was actually moved. It was not common for her to meet people as decent as these monks.

''Abbot, send a few of your competent disciples to my place,'' Kierra replied. ''Particularly, ones that can utilize qi well.''

''May I ask what for...?''

At this, Kierra raised her hand and cast several elemental spells. Colorful orbs began to swirl on her palm as Kierra smirked.

''For this.''

''!!''

In an instant, Xuanji understood what was going on and agreed without waiting for even a second. After bidding farewell to the monks, Kierra rode Kamikaze back to White Lotus, where Kang Shuren, Bai Qing, Shen, Lan, and other disciples were waiting anxiously.

''Masters!''

''Look! They're back!''

Leaving the heroic tales of herself to others to recap, Kierra quietly retreated to the top of the Crimson Tower once again. At this point, the sun was already half-submerged under the horizon, painting the sky a beautiful orange.

Today was rather exciting for the archwizard. After all, she had the opportunity to truly exercise after a while.

She wanted to reward herself with something. Dessert? She always ate them anyway. Sleep? Kierra wasn't sleepy right now. That left...

Hot spring.

After casting a ten-star spell earlier, her body was a bit tired, so hot spring it was.

Having decided so, Kierra chose a good location near her tower and began to construct a nice, large building. Then, she dug the ground out and added a layer of concrete to prevent the water from leaking. With that done, she moved on to decorating the place a little to resemble a hot spring before finally pouring in some hot water.

For good measure, Kierra threw in numerous herbs that could help one recover their body and mind as well.

''Good.''

Kierra nodded approvingly. For later times, she should make a heating mechanism, but for now, it was time to enjoy it.

Not before making a changing room and a shower room. She almost forgot that.

When everything was finished, someone unexpectedly arrived at the door. It was the oblivious Tian Yun with the two pets.

''This is...''

''A hot spring.'' Kierra casually replied. ''Come in if you want to. Call the others as well.''

''Alright!''

Kierra lightly shrugged, watching Tian Yun launch herself away excitedly. She then washed her body briefly before getting into her bath tower, tied her long hair up, and erased her makeup.

As soon as the archwizard entered the hot water, a soothing sensation enveloped her whole body, making her relax. Kierra gently closed her eyes, letting the herbs and the water do the job.

A few minutes later, one by one, everybody else curiously entered the hot spring.

Seeing Kierra in her relaxation mode, they didn't dare make a fuss and quietly entered the water. If there was anything, they were busy admiring the impeccable bosom of Kierra floating on the water.

''Hah...''

''This is good...''

Still, like Kierra, they immediately felt charmed the moment they dipped their bodies into the water. The effect of a hot spring was fascinating.

''Right, Kierra.'' Yu Chen spoke up. ''You said there was something from the realm above watching you, right?''

''Hm? I did.'' Kierra replied.

''Did you find out what it was?''

''Ah, I forgot to tell you. It was an Immortal.''

(・∀・)? (・∀・)? (・∀・)?

Excuse me?

Sensing the baffled face without even opening her eyes, Kierra chuckled.

''In fact, it is still watching us from afar, '' She added. ''Do not worry. It doesn't have the gall to confront me right now, immortal or whatnot.''

''Khn...''

Kierra's logic was sound; they didn't need to be scared, yet when she peeked her eyes open, she saw everyone was uneasily covering their chest, perhaps embarrassed that someone was watching them bathing.

''They are a woman.'' Kierra continued reassuringly.

''Still, it is quite uncomfortable...'' Yu Chen muttered.

''Hm...''

Deciding to spoil her disciples once in a while, the archwizard promptly stood up to cast a barrier around the area, carelessly letting her ample mountains pop out of the overworking bathtower.

'''' !!! ''''

The two peaks were plainly visible and eye-catching. Combined with Kierra's celestial state when she cast her spell, the scene could only be described as 'divinely lewd.'

Needless to say, this spooked the audience in a way that they had never experienced before. Some gulped nervously, some couldn't move their eyes, and some were about to spurt out blood from their noses.

''Hm? Oh.''

It was only after the spell was in effect that Kierra realized what she had done. This time, she had unintentionally teased them again.

'Well, this is not too bad, I suppose.'

Kierra loved to flaunt her perfect body; that was a fact. August would kill her if she were here, though.
