Chapter 48: The Phoenix Boat on the Lake of Emotions

  Fengzhou was on the ninth floor of Fengge, when Xiao Zhan pushed open the tightly closed door, a magnificent world unfolded before his eyes. Unlike the previous eight floors with almost the same layout, this ninth floor was completely a vast world. Blue sky and white clouds, sunshine illuminated the earth, a huge lake appeared in sight, waves rippling, a giant ship-like building stood on the lake.

  The building is over a thousand meters long, more than ten stories high, with beautiful wheels and magnificent momentum, like a palace docked on the lake.

  Xiao Zhan shed the two women and rushed towards Fengzhou, his speed fully open, and in more than a dozen breaths, he arrived at the lake shore. Looking at the huge building boat on the lake surface, Xiao Zhan kept making exclamations of surprise. Suddenly, he furrowed his brow, narrowed his eyes to look at the sun in the sky.

  "Huh?"

  It should be afternoon now, but the direction of the rising sun looks like it's morning. Is the time in this building different from the outside world?

  Qin Ci and Qin Yao gently floated down beside Xiao Zhan, looking at his confused face. Qin Yao smiled slightly: "The nine layers of the Phoenix Pavilion, each layer has a different time flow. The first layer is 10 times slower than the outside world, the second layer is 100 times slower, the third layer is 200 times slower, the fourth layer is 500 times slower, the fifth layer is 1,000 times slower, the sixth layer is 2,000 times slower, the seventh layer is 5,000 times slower, the eighth layer is 10,000 times slower, and the ninth layer has infinite time."

  Xiao Zhan excitedly said: "Your Highness's meaning is that time in this world is standing still."

  Qin Yao shook her head and said, "The time ratio of each world in the Phoenix Pavilion is closely related to the master's cultivation. If the master's cultivation is too low, it cannot open up the next layer of time ratio, so now this layer of time ratio is the same as the outside world."

  Xiao Zhan curiously asked: "What is the largest time ratio in Fengge now?"

  Qin Yao smiled slightly: "Now the time ratio of Fengge is exactly the same as the outside world, only after husband goes to the Wheel of Rebirth can he officially become the master of Fengge, and then open the first layer of time ratio, which is ten to one."

  Xiao Zhan stopped speaking, his gaze fell on the lake surface. Suddenly, he felt the power of emotions and desires fluctuating within him, warmth, sweetness, comfort, joy... all kinds of beautiful feelings surged in his heart.

  Xiao Zhan was taken aback, this lake is quite peculiar, it seems to evoke people's emotional resonance! He quickly came to the lake and squatted down, then Xiao Zhan stretched out his right hand into the water. In an instant, a strange scene appeared, his palm seemed to pass through a mass of air, without touching anything, when he pulled out his palm, there was not even a drop of water on his hand, after repeated attempts, Xiao Zhan stared blankly at the lake in a daze.

  The lake's water was rippling gently, with sparkling waves. Looking at the phoenix boat floating on the lake's surface, Xiao Zhan felt that all of this was so unbelievable. With deep confusion, he activated his "True Eye", and soon the information transmitted to him told him that the water in this lake was genuine.

  How is it possible?

  If it's really water, then it shouldn't be possible for nothing to happen, could everything be substantialized "emotional threads"? It seems very likely, just like Qin Yao and Qin Shi, even with the "Eye of Reality", they couldn't distinguish anything. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan turned his head to look at the two women who had arrived beside him, and asked in doubt: "Is the lake water here all composed of substantialized emotional threads?"

  Qin Shi shook her head and said: "This lake is called 'Love Lake', as the name suggests, all the water in this lake is formed by gathering love threads."

  She came to Xiao Zhan's side, squatted down, rolled up her sleeves, and then reached into the lake water, gently stirring it. The ripples rose one after another, and when she pulled out her jade-like hand, the lake water slid down from her fingertips, shining like jade in the sunlight. Next, Qin Shi once again inserted her hand into the water, and a surprising scene appeared: countless dense, silver threads visible to the naked eye fell from her hands, stirring up waves on the sparkling lake surface.

  "Heavens, it's actually true!"

  The silk threads converged into a lake, which was also unbelievable! Looking at the huge lake in front of him, Xiao Zhan's heart was shocked to the extreme.

  "It's true, isn't it? The emotional threads in this lake are all flowing out from the Phoenix Boat." Qinsi played with the emotional threads in her hand, smiling and saying.

  Qin Yao came to Xiao Zhan's side and said softly, "As long as husband persists in bathing in the Lake of Emotions every day, these emotional threads will automatically cleanse the miscellaneous thoughts from his mind. I can guarantee that it won't take long for husband's innate seductive techniques to reach their peak, giving birth to emotional threads, and with time, husband's seductive cultivation will make rapid progress, reaching the fourth realm."

  Xiao Zhan furrowed his brow and said: "Take a bath? I can't even touch water, what am I supposed to use to take a bath?"

  Qin Shi stood up, clapped her hands and smiled: "Husband, don't worry, this problem will be easily solved after I and Yao'er are resurrected."

  Xiao Zhan was just about to speak and ask for clarification when suddenly a silver chain burst forth from the magnificent Phoenix Boat, spanning hundreds of meters across the lake surface to arrive right in front of the three. In an instant, a bridge over two meters wide and hundreds of meters long took shape, stretching across the lake's surface, radiating dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.

  Qin Yao and Qinsi lightly lifted their skirts and walked onto the bridge, looking at Xiao Zhan who was still standing by the lake in a daze. They smiled sweetly and called out in unison: "Husband, hurry up and come over, let's three of us board the Phoenix Boat together."

  A gentle breeze blew, and the skirts of the two women fluttered up like a dance. The bridge under their feet shimmered with an ethereal light, and for that instant, they seemed like goddesses from heaven, so beautiful it took one's breath away.

  "Can I go up here?"

  Xiao Zhan swallowed hard, his heart racing with anxiety. This wasn't something just anyone could do; this bridge was made of invisible, intangible emotional threads. He hadn't reached that level of mastery yet. If he stepped on it, he'd probably fall into the lake, and by the time he hit the water, there wouldn't even be a ripple to disturb the surface - let alone create any waves.

  It seems that she had noticed Xiao Zhan's concerns, so Qinsong smiled and said: "Don't worry, husband, this bridge is just like the reclining chair in the Phoenix Pavilion. Its surface is covered with arrays, anyone can walk on it, absolutely no need to worry about falling into the lake."

  He nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped forward resolutely. As his foot touched the bridge, the feeling of being on solid ground made him feel at ease. When the nervousness disappeared, Xiao Zhan quickly discovered that countless joyful, happy, excited... and other beautiful emotions were transmitted to his heart, and vaguely he seemed to have felt that there were countless people in Fengzhou welcoming his arrival.

  Looking at the giant Fengzhou hundreds of meters away, Xiao Zhan's heart was filled with anticipation.

  What was waiting for him inside the Phoenix Boat?
