As they thought of this, they exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disgust and hostility.

"It's freezing with snow outside, how could I let you sleep out there? Besides, it's not safe..." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "How about we all stay in the tree house, like last time..."

Upon hearing this, the two women lowered their heads and remained silent, clearly consenting.

Seeing no objection from the two women, Wang Xiaoqiang took out a piece of jerky and a jug of wine, eating and drinking while saying, "If you're tired, go ahead and sleep, don't wait for me."

Upon hearing this, neither woman got up; instead, they stared at each other with hostility, prompting Wang Xiaoqiang to say, "Why are you staring daggers at each other? Go to sleep."

Upon hearing this, the two women reluctantly stood up, one following the other, heading towards the tree house.

Wang Xiaoqiang finished the jerky and drained the last drop of wine in the jug, feeling a bit dizzy. In the cold Snow Territory, wine provided warmth, and Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't foolish enough to undo the effects with Spiritual Energy, though without doing so, the alcohol went to his head, leaving Wang Xiaoqiang half-drunk.

Dizzily, he stood up and entered the tree house.

Upon inspection, he found the tree house wasn't fully excavated, the space was small, only accommodating three to five people, and if lying down, it seemed even more cramped.

The two women were already lying down, though it was unclear if they were asleep. Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze lingered on the two women, secretly appraising their reclining forms.

Jiang Yingxue was spirited and lovely, with a voluptuous and sensual figure, while Sai Ya was elegant and quiet, her demeanor enticingly alluring — two women with completely different temperaments, each having their own beauty, like two rival flowers competing for splendor...

Due to the small space, it was difficult for these two women not to be close, yet with animosity between them, they wouldn't sleep together, leaving a notable gap between their bodies.

Moreover, at this time, their sleeping posture was quite subtle, neither touching, leaving a space sufficient for one person between them.

Gazing at the space between the two women, Wang Xiaoqiang felt it was intentionally left for him; taking the cue, he lay in the space between their forms.

Remarkably, this space was just right. Upon lying down, Wang Xiaoqiang snugly filled the gap, his left side against Jiang Yingxue's graceful body, and his right side brushing against Sai Ya's figure.

Jiang Yingxue's body fragrance carried a pure scent like that of peonies, whereas Sai Ya's carried a hint of bookish fragrance, reminiscent of Dai Yu's scent; in short, both women's aroma was quite pleasant.

Wang Xiaoqiang shamelessly sniffed left and right, the more he smelled, the itchier his heart grew, like being scratched by a cat, gradually arousing a warm sensation within, stirring a strong urge to embrace both...

By midnight, the air became increasingly cold, and although resting in the tree house, lacking blankets meant the chill couldn't be avoided, particularly for Sai Ya, whose weaker cultivation base left her shivering in her sleep, tightly hugging herself.

Wang Xiaoqiang released Fire Element Spiritual Energy, letting it flow across his body, the concentrated energy igniting heat, making him feel as though soaked in a hot bath, warm and comfortable, with his body's heat radiating outwardly, warming Sai Ya, who instinctively moved closer, pressing herself against him, clinging onto Wang Xiaoqiang.

This was a subconscious, instinctive embrace, akin to someone feeling cold in the middle of the night, instinctively pulling a blanket to cover themselves.

Suddenly enveloped by her vibrant, fragrant form, Wang Xiaoqiang felt stirred, wanting to push her away, but couldn't manage to do so.

Finally finding warmth, she had just overcome the chill; unwilling to let go, she only held tighter...

Wang Xiaoqiang resignedly turned his face away to avoid looking at her, yet upon doing so, he saw Jiang Yingxue, now shivering as well, clearly quite cold. Seeing her pitiful trembling, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel compassion, reaching out to embrace her.

Although unmoved, once embraced, Jiang Yingxue immediately pressed against him, instinctively hugging Wang Xiaoqiang, utilizing his warmth for comfort.

…

At dawn, Wang Xiaoqiang opened his eyes, finding the two women gone, evidently getting up early to avoid awkwardness; actually, neither slept well the previous night.

Since they showed no refusal, Wang Xiaoqiang naturally didn't hold back, everything fell into place naturally, like fruit ripening or water flowing serenely.

Only what surprised Wang Xiaoqiang was discovering these two women were still virgins; pondering this, Wang Xiaoqiang contentedly stretched, like a soldier earning two medals, feeling quite happy.

Exiting the tree house, he saw the two women were already starting a fire to cook. Compared to before, they seemed changed, as if with no barriers, unexpectedly working together on breakfast; upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang emerge from the tree house, they called him over to eat, having prepared grilled sausage and roasted eggs, tasting rather good.

After eating, Wang Xiaoqiang gathered the team, then they proceeded to search for Blood Lotus.

With Sai Ya, a "specialist" in Blood Lotus gathering, the search became considerably easier; however, there's a scarcity of Blood Lotus, so by noon they'd only found three plants.

At noon, the team assembled, building a fire for lunch thereupon hearing combat sounds from the other side of the mountain, flashes of Magic Treasure light visible; considering the situation, everyone became alert and cautious. Wang Xiaoqiang's Divine Sense swept across the scene, noticing two women battling, he stated, "You all rest here, while I go check it out."

With that, Wang Xiaoqiang flew towards the noise, landing atop a mountain peak and overlooking a valley below where he saw two women fighting.

One wears a white dress, wielding a green Immortal Sword, her white clothes fluttering, exuding a celestial aura — none other than Leng Qingqiu.

The other woman, clad in black, wore a wide-brimmed, veil-like hat whose brim bore a circle of sheer black cloth, obscuring her features, making them hard to discern.

Wang Xiaoqiang's Divine Sense carefully surveyed the woman in black, yet be it by eyesight or Divine Sense, Wang Xiaoqiang found this woman eerily familiar, clearly having met her before.

The woman in black held a cyan Immortal Sword, fiercely battling Leng Qingqiu without respite; both women fought with their swords intensely, each strike deadly, clearly indicating this was no mere spar, but a life-and-death duel.
