A saintess? She's just a bad woman.

The young emperor was quite considerate and thoughtful towards his people.

So, after choosing some delicious snacks—pudding and cookies—Hello relaxed completely, sitting by the hot spring pool and letting her body slowly slide into the water. Feeling the hot spring water soaking her, her pores opening up, Hello comfortably squinted her eyes, her expression one of immersion and enjoyment.

The tray uses magic to create buoyancy, allowing it to float directly on the water.

Melissa, fully utilizing her role as a servant, directly lifted the wine jug and poured the rich wine into three glasses.

"Come, let's prepare for today's hot spring trip."

"So that the master may regain his freedom."

"For the sake of a threesome."

Cheers! ×3

Soon, some people had downed several drinks. Melissa was alright; as a demon general, she also had social obligations and drank quite a bit.

However, as a mermaid princess, Hero rarely comes into contact with alcohol. She wouldn't say she's a complete teetotaler, but she's practically abstaining from alcohol altogether.

Then, her little face visibly flushed red, like two crimson clouds.

“Saint Karina, this isn’t our first date, and you’ve brought other women along, but… hiccup… I’m still very happy.”

Hero was speaking, and even the little spirit snake couldn't quite make sense of it.

Moreover, she even burped, appearing to be quite drunk.

Santa Karina knew she was drunk.

"Stop drinking, you're already drunk, Hero."

She took Hero's glass, gave Melissa a look, and stopped her from pouring any more.

It's said that it's easy to get drunk and have an indescribable relationship with the drinker, or exchange academic knowledge about the origin of species. However, Hero is Saint Karina's toy, and she has no intention of taking advantage of him.

Moreover, taking care of a drunken female alcoholic is actually a very troublesome thing.

Because when people are drunk, they are more likely to act out.

Just like now...

"Hiccup. You... how can you say I'm drunk? I wasn't asleep, and I don't feel drunk. Give me back my glass. I'm fine, I can still drink."

Helo grabbed Saint Karina's arm and pressed herself against her with an air of nonchalance, her eyes fixed only on the cup Saint Karina had snatched away.

People who are drunk often pretend they are not drunk.

"No, you're drunk, Hero."

Saint Karina knew it was pointless to argue with a drunk person, but she also needed to be reasonable.

Actually, sometimes it's easier to just get so drunk that you fall asleep.

"Nonsense! I'm not drunk! Saint Karina, you're just being stingy and don't want to give me any alcohol!"

Unable to get alcohol, Hero became even more agitated.

She pouted, pouting her little face, and stretched her hand toward Saint Karina with great effort.

First of all, this is in the water, and both of them are in a state of "Emperor's New Clothes." This kind of erratic movement, with the woman's advantages rubbing against Saint Karina, is practically playing with fire.

However, Saint Karina had no interest in a drunkard. She decided to remain composed and act like a gentleman, sitting upright and unperturbed in the face of danger.

To maintain her composure, she used a magic spell to calm herself. This spell was used when she was emotionally agitated or her body temperature was high, and she felt the urge to have sex with a woman. Using this spell could quickly restore her composure and prevent undesirable things from happening.

Saint Karina has always done this, just as she never uses magic on her toys to make them give birth to little demons or little mermaids.

"I'm not being stingy. You rarely drink alcohol from land, so it's normal to get tipsy if you drink too much. Listen to me, stop drinking and just sit quietly in the hot spring. Or, I'll just carry you to bed."

Upon hearing the word "sleep," Helo immediately became unhappy.

"I don't want to sleep!"

"I don't want to sleep. We agreed on a threesome, and I absolutely don't want to be left alone."

If a love triangle were to turn into a pure love between two people, it would give rise to a world-famous painting of the Little Mermaid sleeping.

The scene must have been beautiful, because the Little Mermaid was fast asleep on the soft couch, and Hero was incredibly beautiful, with exquisite and perfect features, the finishing touch to any world-famous painting. But the problem was, besides Hero, Saint Karina and Melissa were right next to them, doing all sorts of underwater sports, having a blast.

So, their pure love turned into a world where only Hero was hurt.

It can be said that Hero was very aware of the dangers of such things, and even when he was drunk, he was very vigilant and determined not to let such things happen under his nose.

222. I'm not drunk yet.

"If you don't give it to me, Saint Karina, I'm going to take it from you!"

After saying that, Hero pounced on her.

However, it's important to know that this was in the water, and Saint Karina had no foothold. When she was tackled like that, the pink wine spilled directly onto the glass, splashing into the water.

"Gulu..."

Saint Karina was forced to drink some hot spring water, but as soon as she tried to peek out, Hero chased after her and kissed her relentlessly.

This wasn't the first time Santa Karina had been intimate with other women in front of Melissa.

However, being dumped by a female alcoholic is still a novel experience.

"you……"

Even underwater, as long as you're willing to drink the hot spring water that's been used by beautiful girls, there's no situation where you can't speak.

However, Saint Karina's refusal was endless, and Helo kissed her again.

"!"

Underwater, the feeling was truly subtle, and Hero's legs had somehow transformed into a mermaid's tail.

"Hello, don't do anything reckless."

"I didn't do anything reckless."

Helok laughed foolishly. She seemed to be hallucinating because she couldn't find the wine. She mistook Saint Karina for the wine, as if by touching Saint Karina, she could get what she wanted and drink what she desired.

"Warm and soft, smooth as snow. Saint Karina, I want to plant cherry blossoms on you..."

And so, the kisses fell in various places.

Even though they were in the water, a strange feeling arose within them. Saint Karina began to feel hot and sweat profusely, perhaps because the hot spring was too hot and she had been soaking for too long.

"I read in books that as long as you plant cherry blossom seeds and water them carefully, a lot of sweet and mellow wine will soon flow out..."

Although Saint Karina really wanted to complain, "Are you even reading a serious book?", this wasn't the time to complain.

Melissa blushed slightly, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Perhaps she wanted to join in...

She wouldn't act rashly without Saint Karina's orders.

"Owner……"

Melissa stood to the side with a dazed look in her eyes, and upon closer inspection, one could see her legs clenched together.

Saint Karina knew the other's needs and desires from the unconscious friction.

However, Santa Karina, who had fallen into the water, really had no time to worry about anything else.

"Saint Karina, would you like to start a cherry blossom seed project with me, so that it will bloom and bear fruit next year?"

These words were like a slap in the face, just like Hero inviting her to create a little mermaid.

"Are you serious?"

With the ability to breathe underwater using magic, Saint Karina can be as free as she is on land.

It's that feeling of speaking, and the feeling of being underwater, that's very subtle.

“Of course it’s true, Saint Karina. Why don’t you try lying down directly? I’ll help you find pleasure.”

Saint Karina didn't know what Helo was planning, but since he was sticking so close to her and was drunk, it wouldn't be easy to get rid of him without knocking him out.

Saint Karina didn't want to resort to physical force like knocking out her date, so she went along with Hero's suggestion for the time being. With that in mind, she actually lay down at the bottom of the hot spring pool.

The bottom of the pool is paved with white bricks, so even if you lie down, it won't feel too uncomfortable.

"I'm coming."

As soon as she finished speaking, Saint Karina felt a soft body with a lower body temperature press against her.

Even if the other person has been soaking in a hot spring, their skin temperature does not rise instantly.

Hero's body temperature was consistently lower than Saint Karina's, likely due to her being a sea creature. However, after soaking in the hot springs, there was no change, leading Saint Karina to realize that the problem indeed lay in their different races.

"Bliss..."

A slippery, sticky sound suddenly came from the skin that was pressed against it.

Don't get the wrong idea. It was just that after Saint Karina's back came into contact with Hero's feminine advantage, a slippery and sticky sensation gradually developed, as if she wasn't a person, but really a fish.

Of course, this fish is no ordinary fish; it is a mermaid.

“Saint Karina, this is unique to our mermaid race. It's like mermaid ointment... its purpose is to enhance the experience…”

As soon as Hero finished speaking, Saint Karina felt her body actually start burning up.

Speaking of hot springs, this one shows a lot of traces of magic and human intervention. The water is real hot spring water, but it's not electrified.

Hot springs are a type of spring water that naturally emerges from underground. The temperature at the springhead is significantly higher than the local annual average temperature, and the water contains mineral water with trace elements that are beneficial to human health.

In many other areas, wells are drilled manually. For example, this hot spring pool uses a different method: deep-water pumps are used to extract groundwater at depths of 600 to 2000 meters.

Generally, hot springs are rich in various beneficial minerals and their water temperature is usually above 20 degrees Celsius; they are also called hot spring wells. Due to differences in climate, latitude, and altitude in different regions, it is difficult to standardize the lower limit of hot spring temperature.

As for the formation of hot springs themselves, they can generally be divided into two types:

These are formed by magma activity within the Earth's crust, or are associated with volcanic eruptions. In extinct volcanic areas where volcanic activity has occurred, the surface is uplifted due to the movement of tectonic plates, and there is still uncooled magma beneath the surface, all of which continuously release large amounts of heat energy.

Because the heat from such heat sources is concentrated, any porous water-bearing rock strata nearby will not only be heated to become high-temperature hot water, but most of them will also boil into steam, often resulting in sulfate springs.

Secondly, it is formed by the infiltration and circulation of surface water. That is to say, when rainwater falls to the surface and seeps downwards, it penetrates deep into the aquifers of sandstone, conglomerate, and volcanic rock in the earth's crust. These good aquifers form groundwater.

Groundwater is heated by the geothermal energy below to become hot water. Most deep hot water contains gases, mainly carbon dioxide. When the temperature of the hot water rises, if there is a dense, impermeable rock layer above to block its path, the pressure will increase, causing the hot water and steam to be under high pressure. If there are cracks, they will rush upwards.

As hot water rises and gets closer to the Earth's surface, its pressure gradually decreases. This decrease in pressure causes the contained gas to expand, reducing the density of the hot water. This expanding steam further facilitates the rise of the hot water.

The rising hot water and the sinking, later-heated cold water, due to their different densities, create a pressure difference in hydrostatic pressure, which repeatedly generates convection. When the resistance of the open fissures is small, the hot water rises along the fissures and gushes out to the surface, thus continuously rising and eventually flowing out of the ground to form a hot spring.

With the combination of high mountains and deep valleys, the surface water level at the bottom of the valley may be higher than that at the mountains and the groundwater level may be lower. Therefore, the bottom of the deep valley may be the place with the greatest static water pressure difference, and hot water is most likely to gush out from the bottom of the valley. Hot springs mostly occur in the riverbed in the valley.

223. The unique characteristics of the merfolk

Getting back to the point, being bothered by Hero's antics ignited her anger as well.

Continuing to act like a virtuous person is not Saint Karina's style.

She had originally planned to simply toss the glass back to Melissa for safekeeping. This wasn't a deliberate attempt to shift the blame, but rather a strategic move.

Hero probably wouldn't do anything too intimate with Melissa. Drunkards sometimes just use alcohol as an excuse to do things they've always wanted to do but wouldn't dare to do in real life. In other words, they're using alcohol to vent their frustrations.

“Saint Karina, turn your body around. This is a special edition for today only; there might not be another one in the future.”

Hero smiled alluringly, like a real, beautiful mermaid.

Saint Karina had never seen Helos smile like that before. Most of the time, she was like a young girl, lacking the maturity and composure of a mermaid queen.

Saint Karina obeyed Hero's words and did not refuse, slowly turning around. This turning process did not feel like being pressed against a woman's advantage, but more like being on a slippery waterbed coated with sunscreen.

At this moment, Hero's feet were no longer the white ones they once were; instead, they were blue fish tails with scales.

“Saint Karina, I love you…”

Her expression was focused, her eyes were fixed on Saint Karina, and she couldn't see anything else.

Her face still held the slight flush of alcohol. Those two rosy mounds looked alluring, as if they had been adorned with rouge and powder.

"The drunkard doesn't care about wine."

Saint Karina muttered a complaint under her breath. However, she let Hero press down on her.

"Bliss..."

The strangely lubricating liquid made subtle sounds as their bodies pressed close together.
