Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

"Wang Dong, why are you still wearing makeup? How awful!" Xiao Xiao pouted slightly.

She wasn't jealous of Wang Dong's beauty, but she felt that he was taking the photo a little too seriously, making it seem like she wasn't taking it seriously enough.

"Hehe~ You definitely need to dress up nicely for photos~"

Wang Dong paid no attention to Xiao Xiao's accusations; instead, she smiled even more sweetly.

She deliberately twirled around, her skirt billowing, then cast a pointed glance at Ye Chen standing to the side, teasingly saying, "Besides, this also makes it easier for someone... to take more 'satisfactory' photos, right?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "satisfied," her eyes filled with a mischievous smile as she stared directly at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was admiring Wang Dong's carefully made-up appearance, especially her legs in white stockings, which he couldn't take his eyes off.

Hearing Wang Dong's pointed words and being stared at by her teasing gaze, Ye Chen felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Ahem! Alright, alright, it's getting late, let's go~ If we dawdle any longer, the sun will be high in the sky."

Ye Chen quickly turned around and walked towards the door first.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong both covered their mouths and laughed.

……

……

The three left Qingmu City, where Shrek Academy was located, and headed straight towards Wangyue Peak outside the city.

Wangyue Peak isn't too far from Qingmu City, but it's not a developed tourist attraction. After all, at this time of year, no one develops such a wild place into a tourist area because nobody comes to visit...

Therefore, the mountains here have remained completely in their original, wild state, which is completely different from the crowded scenic spots with stone steps and walkways that Ye Chen remembered from his previous life.

At the foot of the mountain lies a dense primeval forest, so thick that almost no light can penetrate. Towering ancient trees block out the sun, and thick vines, like giant pythons, coil around the trunks and hang down.

The thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground had been piled up for countless years. It was soft and silent when you stepped on it, and it exuded a mixed smell of damp soil and humus.

Various oddly shaped ferns and low shrubs grow among them, with almost no obvious paths.

The air was filled with the rich fragrance of grass and trees, and the occasional calls of unknown birds and beasts added to the sense of mystery and seclusion.

This place is sparsely populated, and only hunters or herbalists occasionally venture into its outskirts.

If an ordinary person were to venture into this labyrinthine primeval forest, they would easily lose their way and eventually perish, becoming nourishment for this ancient forest.

However, such an environment does not pose any obstacle for Soul Masters.

Their bodies, tempered by soul power, have long surpassed those of ordinary people.

Ye Chen walked at the front, his steps light and steady.

Wang Dong followed closely behind, her long, light blue hair and skirt swaying gently in the forest breeze as she moved freely among the rugged ground and tangled tree roots.

Enveloped in soul power, one can easily push aside obstacles, and even when passing through thorn bushes, the clothes will not be torn.

Xiao Xiao walked at the back. Although she was a support type, with the help of the immortal herb, Xiao Xiao's physical strength was also very strong, and she was not much behind Wang Dong.

Although the mountain path was rugged, slippery, and covered with thorns, for Ye Chen and his companions, these only added a touch of wildness.

The three figures moved swiftly and silently through the primeval forest, like three nimble breezes, heading towards the summit of Wangyue Peak.

Sunlight filtered through layers of leaves, casting dappled patterns of light on them that danced and shimmered as they moved.

After a period of climbing, the three finally reached the summit of Wangyue Peak.

The summit is a relatively flat, huge rocky platform with a wide and open view.

A strong yet refreshing mountain breeze blew in my face, bringing an incomparably comfortable coolness.

Above us was a vast, clear blue sky, with a few wisps of white clouds drifting lazily by.

Looking into the distance, one sees an endless sea of ​​green forest stretching out below.

Aoki Castle shrank in the distance to a model made up of gray and white blocks, with the outlines of the city's streets and buildings barely visible.

As far as the eye can see, on the edge of the horizon, a much larger city is clearly visible – Shrek City.

Although it was only a hundred miles wide, it was still clearly visible in this clear, sunny weather. "Wow! How beautiful!"

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but open her arms and take a deep breath of the pure air on the mountaintop, feeling as if she were about to be elevated.

Wang Dong also walked to the edge of the cliff, her long, light blue hair flying backward in the mountain wind.

Her skirt fluttered in the breeze, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.

She closed her eyes, feeling the vastness and freedom, her face beaming with pure joy.

"The scenery is absolutely stunning; it's a perfect spot for taking photos."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and then took out the [Image Retention Box].

The current photo recorder has been upgraded to a level seven soul tool, and level nine rare metals have been added to it, which has improved both the image quality and the shooting speed by several levels.

Moreover, the current "photo box" can also shoot videos.

However, due to material issues, storing and playing the videos is quite troublesome, so Ye Chen generally doesn't bother shooting videos and is too lazy to bother.

“Come on, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, stand over here, with the forest and the distant city as the backdrop.”

Ye Chen directed the simple adjustments to the parameters of the [Photo Memory Box], making it appear slightly more professional.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao immediately became excited, tidied each other's hair and clothes, and stood side by side in the position designated by Ye Chen, with their backs to the magnificent scenery.

"Stand up straight, yes, relax your shoulders."

Ye Chen held his camera and looked at them through the lens.

"Wang Dong, raise your head slightly... look at the camera..."

"Good! Keep it up!"

With a "click," the first photo was captured.

In the video, Wang Dong tilts her head slightly, her pinkish-blue eyes looking at the camera with a natural smile and curiosity, as the mountain breeze ruffles a few strands of her hair.

"Xiao Xiao, don't be so nervous, just be natural."

"Yes, smile and think about happy things."

Ye Chen's command was very gentle.

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, trying to relax her tense shoulders, and smiled.

"Kacha——"

Xiao Xiao's slightly shy smile was also captured on the film.

After taking a few individual photos, Ye Chen began to try some more "artistic" poses.

“Wang Dong, stand on that slightly higher rock…”

Wang Dong did as instructed, standing on the rock with his side facing Ye Chen.

Just then, the mountain wind intensified and blew fiercely.

"Oh!"

Wang Dong exclaimed in surprise and instinctively reached out to hold down her fluttering skirt.

But the wind was so strong that the light blue dress was suddenly whipped upwards like a blooming flower.

"Click——"

Ye Chen's fingers pressed the shutter almost instinctively, accurately capturing the moment when the skirt fluttered in the wind.

The camera captured the full bloom of her skirt and Wang Dong's shy demeanor perfectly.

If you look closely, you can even see a pure white edge...
