The so-called Crystal Labyrinth was just that simple—it was entirely a forced intellectual battle for those who lacked focus.
Back when she first read this dungeon’s description, Samimi had wanted to smack the author’s head. Compared to the design of the Scarlet Courtyard, this was a pile of trash.
‘Sigh, forget it. Don’t get angry; it’s not worth it.’
This transition arc was just a minor side story. How could it possibly compare to the Scarlet Courtyard?
‘Even if the book I paid for turns into hot garbage, I have to grit my teeth and finish it,’ Samimi comforted herself.
Actually, this dungeon wasn’t entirely that simple because there was an upcoming “fanservice segment” that the author had used to pad the word count.
Samimi and Strategist Meihua successfully found the hidden door and descended to the next floor.
“What is this?” Miss Meihua cried out in surprise.
The area was filled with thick steam, making her think they had walked into a trap.
Peerng through the mist, she saw a massive crystal pool. The hot water shimmered with a bright emerald green hue and emitted a refreshing floral scent that cleared the mind.
“What kind of trap is this?” Miss Meihua asked, her suspicion deepening.
However, when she turned her head, she saw that Samimi and Niubao were already stripping. They had neatly removed their favorite black stockings and were preparing to soak in the water.
“Wait! Wait! What are you doing? Aren’t you afraid this is a trap?” Miss Meihua rushed forward to grab them, trying to stop them from making a mistake.
“I am a priestess. I can sense that this is a natural, healing, underground medicinal spring. It’s fine,” Samimi lied through her teeth.
In reality, because she was a transmigrator, she knew this was the pre-boss recovery zone. After soaking in this pool, they would head straight to the final showdown.
If one knew the solution, the progression of this dungeon was indeed pitifully short.
As for why there was a hot spring inside a Magic Phoenix’s dungeon? Don’t ask questions about the logic of the two-dimensional world!
“Is that true?” Miss Meihua remained somewhat skeptical.
“If Miss Meihua doesn’t believe us, we’ll show you,” Samimi said, pulling Niubao along as they plunged into the medicinal spring.
The exhaustion of the day vanished in an instant. All their schemes and worries dissipated as they returned to their most primal state, leaning comfortably against the edge.
Seeing this made Miss Meihua’s heart itch. After watching the girls soak for a while without incident, she finally couldn’t resist. she reached out and unfastened the buttons of her cheongsam.
In that moment, Samimi’s eyes widened. A devious smile played across her lips as she took in the beautiful scenery.
It was a mature beauty entirely different from her own small frame. Those curves were larger than Niubao’s head—thighs that looked like they could crush a watermelon. It was a sight to behold, and Samimi didn’t want to miss a single second.
As the silk dress slid down, it went without saying—a woman who could pull off a cheongsam that well couldn’t possibly have a bad figure.
A cheongsam was the most demanding garment for a woman’s physique. If there was even a tiny flaw, it wouldn’t look good. It was extremely particular.
Samimi showed a look of ‘mission accomplished’ in her eyes.
Did anyone really think she had dragged Miss Meihua down here just to use her brains to solve the puzzle? Not at all!
It was purely to get the Strategist to bathe with them so she could admire that beautiful body.
‘The men might be after me, but I’m after your Strategist.’
As expected, she wasn’t disappointed. What a treat.
Next, she intended to push her luck. Since it was just them here, she couldn’t settle for just looking.
*Splash.*
Samimi began to move through the water, aiming for the spot where Miss Meihua was about to sit, setting an ambush.
“Oh!” Miss Meihua cried out. As she stepped in, she happened to tread right on Samimi’s back, giving her a fright.
“Ah!” Samimi cried out theatrically. Then, like a water ghost, she lunged forward and hugged Meihua’s fair legs, taking the opportunity to bury her face against the woman’s thighs.
“Miss Samimi, what are you doing? Weren’t you just over there? How did you move so fast?” Miss Meihua complained.
It never crossed her mind that the priestess was being a pervert; she simply thought she had accidentally stepped on her.
“My back… it hurts…” Samimi whimpered, putting on a pitiful act.
Everything was so natural, so coincidental—a seamless combination. Between the “Spirit Hand” play and being stepped on, it felt incredibly satisfying.
“You’re a priestess; can’t you heal yourself?” Miss Meihua asked. Despite her words, she fell for Samimi’s pitiful display. She reached out and pulled Samimi into an apologetic embrace, her warm hands stroking the girl’s back.
Lately, Samimi had been surrounded by heroic men, but it seemed her charm worked on women just as well.
“Hehe—” Samimi finally had a chance to press against her openly, feeling the soft texture of her skin. She was so happy she almost started drooling.
Anyway, her saliva would just mix with the bathwater; no one would notice.
Niubao was still swimming around in the middle. The simple girl didn’t think too much about the details.
After getting her fill of the physical contact, Samimi reluctantly left the medicinal spring. She pulled a bath towel from her travel bag and dried herself off.
“Miss Meihua, let me help you dry off,” Samimi offered as soon as the other woman stepped out.
“Huh? Oh, okay.” Miss Meihua, feeling lightheaded from the soak, sat down and let Samimi do as she pleased.
This time, it wasn’t a “Spirit Hand” maneuver but an open and honest grope.
After drying her off, Samimi even personally helped Miss Meihua dress. she was more diligent than a maid, as it allowed for even more close-range contact.
Purple-themed lace underwear? Nice!
High-slit, low-cut cheongsam? Even better!
Naturally, Miss Meihua had no idea how messy and lewd the heart of this cute, beautiful young priestess was. She didn’t realize anything was wrong; instead, she felt the full-service treatment was quite comfortable.
However, she did eventually notice the priestess holding her flesh-colored silk stockings, staring at them from a close distance for a long time. She couldn’t tell what the girl was doing.
“Miss Samimi, you’ll be more suited for these kinds of stockings when you’re a bit older. Sigh, these are just things for us old women to wear,” Miss Meihua said with a touch of melancholy.
“How could that be?” For the final step, Samimi lifted the woman’s beautiful feet and personally helped Meihua put on the flesh-colored silk stockings. In that instant, her entire being reached a state of ultimate bliss.
She entered a supreme realm known as the “Phantom Zone.”
Clearly, “that thing” was no longer there, but it felt as if it had returned.
After all, Samimi was a transmigrator who had changed genders. She knew exactly what it felt like to have “a little companion.”
Even though she had lost it, when she reached a certain level of excitement, this strange hallucination would occur.
In fact, calling it a hallucination wasn’t entirely accurate. Since Samimi was a master of magic, any inexplicable situation could be explained away by magic.
Don’t ask! If you have a question, the answer is magic!
The direct result was that her mana reserves overflowed past the limit of her mana bar! Her power surged! Her strength reached a new level!
And then…
Samimi entered “Sage Mode.”
She fished the still-swimming Niubao out of the water and dried the flat-chested girl off without a single stray thought.
Miss Meihua saw that the priestess just enjoyed drying people off and stopped being suspicious. She never even considered the possibility that the girl was into women.
With everything fully prepared, it was time to enter the Boss Room.
“Such strong mana… it’s all converging beneath the pool.”
Miss Meihua sensed the area and found that the entire crystal room was filled with mana fluctuations like a volcanic eruption. The point of convergence was the medicinal spring they had just bathed in.
“Niubao, do it,” Samimi commanded coldly, still in Sage Mode.
Niubao leaped into the air and threw the Whirling Holy Hammer. With a single strike, she shattered the floor of the pool.
The hot water drained away entirely, revealing another crystal chamber below.
The three of them jumped down together. Upon entering, they realized this crystal space was very different. The surrounding crystal walls were covered in tangled vines.
Directly ahead of them, embedded in a wall of trees, was a four-by-four crystal cube. It was the Labyrinth Core, exposed right before their eyes.
However, in front of the Labyrinth Core, two special crystal figures stood in their way.
They were Crystal Duplicates of the Brave of Wisdom, Selina, and the Demigod-Demighoul Radiant Priest, Duke.
They were the guardians of the final boss. One had to overcome them to reach the core of the Crystal Labyrinth.
“What is going on?” Miss Meihua was a bit startled.
“Don’t worry; they’re just duplicates. It seems the combat data of Selina and Vice President Duke was copied. They themselves should be fine,” Samimi reassured her.
The Crystal Labyrinth could copy all the combat and equipment data of invaders who entered and create perfect one-to-one duplicates.
In theory, the stronger the adventurer, the harder the dungeon became.
But the flaw was also obvious: as long as I remain a complete leecher throughout the process, it won’t be able to copy my data, and there won’t be a duplicate of me.
Who was the leecher? Samimi knew exactly who.
Having known the strategy beforehand, the Crystal Labyrinth presented no difficulty for Samimi.
Therefore, the plot involving the final boss wasn’t the main focus. Let’s switch to the more explosive situation on the other side.
When Samimi’s group triggered the final boss battle, the pair wandering around like headless flies encountered a special Crystal Duplicate.
It had towering twin horns, held twin blades, and wore a nun’s habit. Was this not the silent, low-presence nun from the group?
“What kind of trash dares to stand before a Hero?” Selina sneered as soon as she saw it, her voice full of disdain.
“A duplicate. It must be that the labyrinth copied the Little Roc nun’s skills. This is bad! If the labyrinth copied our skills too, the priestess will be in big trouble when she encounters our duplicates. We must defeat this one quickly and go save the priestess and the Strategist,” Vice President Duke analyzed anxiously.
Selina didn’t respond, but her Deep Blue Blade had already shifted into Shield Axe Mode. That was her answer.
She was currently fuming with frustration and intended to use this duplicate to vent.
“Forceful Strike!”
Selina leaped directly into the air, raising the Deep Blue Blade high. She brought it down toward Niubao’s duplicate without mercy.
In the nick of time, the Niubao duplicate released her twin blades and crouched low. She launched herself upward, her explosive speed like a bolt of lightning.
Just as the crystal twin blades hit the ground—
The duplicate’s knee slammed into Selina’s stomach, knocking the Great Hero right out of the air.
