Chapter 2388 - 2389: Blossom Pool
Apart from the one on Feng Yuan’s side, the other Bai Xue people appeared to be handling business formally, without exhibiting special ultimate moves or environmental changes. Yet, even so, it was still a delightful surprise for the tourists in Hot Springs Town.
Especially as the snowballs were thrown, their feelings of depression, dissatisfaction, and other negative emotions slowly cleared away, making them feel that this trip to Hot Springs Town was well worth it.
On Feng Yuan’s side, the Bai Xue person had already entered the Third Phase, even its Beastmaster was somewhat surprised, because a Bai Xue person surrounded by a blizzard is rarely seen even on the Northern Snow Plain.
It’s not that it’s difficult, it’s purely because doing this consumes a lot for the Bai Xue person. Generally speaking, Bai Xue people won’t actively enter this state; only during large celebration events will they showcase this form at the request of a Beastmaster.
The Bai Xue person was surrounded by the blizzard, and ordinary snowballs could hardly fly into the blizzard, but this didn’t really pose a problem for Feng Yuan and his group.
The blizzard naturally wouldn’t last long, appearing intermittently, thus Feng Yuan and his group would seize every gap to throw snowballs.
At this phase, hitting the Bai Xue person is quite difficult, but correspondingly, the Bai Xue person’s characteristics are maximized at this moment. Just one hit of a snowball made Qi Chen and the others feel that most of their troubles no longer affected them, turning into a simple memory.
The Bai Xue person’s characteristics couldn’t bring happiness, nor do they have this ability. Their trait can only dissolve the negative emotions in people’s memories, making one indifferent to looking at those unpleasant memories.
If it weren’t so, such activities wouldn’t be held or allow everyone to easily participate; otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone got addicted to it.
The Third Phase Bai Xue person didn’t last long, only persisted for about ten minutes before the blizzard surrounding the Bai Xue person completely dissipated.
As the blizzard disappeared, the Bai Xue person sat down on the ground looking exhausted, which was true. The Third Phase consumes a lot from the Bai Xue person, and a normal Bai Xue person couldn’t sustain it for long.
Upon seeing their Bai Xue person sitting on the ground, its Beastmaster instantly jumped out from hiding and went to check and restore its energy.
Soon, with some recovery, the Bai Xue person began to frolic with the children. Feng Yuan wasn’t really interested in this; looking at the continuously falling heavy snow, Feng Yuan said,
"Let’s go, get some things and continue soaking in the hot spring."
The Bai Xue person had been eagerly waiting for Feng Yuan and his group to come over, but after waiting for half the day and still not seeing Feng Yuan arrive, the somewhat disappointed Bai Xue person followed the Beastmaster to the hot spring for a good rest.
"Playing with water in Bipton Pool with Bai Xue people? That’s indeed a unique activity. Or rather, their techniques are certainly varied."
Looking at the promotional sign, Feng Yuan touched his chin and muttered. According to the sign, the next activity is playing with Bai Xue people in the hot spring.
As for the location, it’s set in the popular Bipton Pool, but the sign notes that to provide a unique experience, this period will only allow Beastmasters to enter Bipton Pool. This is because Hot Springs Town will temporarily stop the Bipton Pool’s entrance and exit water protection measures to facilitate Spirit Beasts entering and exiting Bipton Pool.
Regarding this statement, Feng Yuan could only say that Hot Springs Town’s excuse seemed rather flimsy, as entrance and exit to Bipton Pool might not necessarily require going through the hot spring’s entrance and exit. Feng Yuan was confident that this notice merely indicated their intention to conduct repair and maintenance on Bipton Pool’s entrance and exit.
In fact, not only Feng Yuan, but many tourists also guessed the truth. But they didn’t say anything; as long as nothing goes wrong affecting their experience, the approach of Hot Springs Town didn’t seem like a big deal to them.
The reason for choosing Bipton Pool entirely lies in its status as one of the most popular hot spring bath pools in Hot Springs Town. Bipton Pool as a whole resembles a blooming flower.
The central and highest pool takes on a near-circular shape. In the central pool, hot spring water continuously gushes out, and an eruption occurs every five minutes.
Surrounding petal-shaped pools, descending in terrace-like arrangements from the central pool, systematically lower the edge heights. Each eruption forms a wave of white water starting from the central pool, flowing over the rocky edges towards surrounding pools, spreading outward, resembling a flower slowly unfurling from a sky view.
This is the origin of Bipton Pool’s name. Besides the central large pool, there are several similar small pools around, each forming a complete Bipton Pool with a small central pool and petal pools.
These flower pools cluster within an even larger pool, forming a complete Bipton Pool.
Naturally, Bai Xue people couldn’t run into the flower pools to play with water. Unfortunately, though the largest flower pool is quite sizable, the naturally formed rocky edges aren’t that strong.
Given Bai Xue people’s physique, walking onto it could likely break the pool’s edges.
Moreover, regarding water levels, the depth of the flower pools is far less than the pool aggregating all the flower pools, even though those flower pools are significantly deeper than Bipton Pool.
And precisely because of Bipton Pool’s unique structure, it can accommodate a significant number of tourists. Even with Bai Xue people joining and a large influx of tourists, Bipton Pool doesn’t appear crowded.
Being one of the largest hot spring bath pools in Hot Springs Town, Bipton Pool’s capacity to hold tourists is exceptionally strong. Feng Yuan estimated this capacity is precisely why Hot Springs Town opted to schedule activities for its maintenance.
"Surely, just closing for two or three days could resolve the issue, yet they opted for such a troublesome route."
Veronia chuckled and said, with Feng Yuan rolling his eyes and speaking in jest,
"How could it be possible? It seems like closing for just two or three days would solve it, but Hot Springs Town has numerous visitors who have made reservations in advance. These reservations are tricky to handle, moreover, any unforeseen incidents would further complicate things."
Feng Yuan didn’t think Hot Springs Town was reluctant to forgo two days’ revenue but simply struggling with the reservation issues.
Besides tourists like Feng Yuan who arrived directly, many had booked their room stays before. Based on past experiences, at this time point, Hot Springs Town had already booked out over 40% of rooms a month in advance.
In this situation, closing for two days presents a significant hassle. It would impact tourists booked to stay during those days, and whether reopening on time is unclear.
Now, with incremental repairs, Feng Yuan saw no issue, as approximately the only anticipated problem involves entrance and exit.
Within Bipton Pool, many tourists were frolicking with Bai Xue people. Even in the hot spring, Bai Xue people could still condense snowballs and snowflakes, with the unique characteristic that the snowballs and snowflakes condensed by Bai Xue only retained shape, while temperature and composition directly followed the original hot spring water.
This unique snowball fascinated many tourists, resulting in crowds around the Bai Xue people.
Feng Yuan and his group naturally joined the fun, but Feng Yuan didn’t surround the Bai Xue people.
"Certainly crowded, yet this special creation isn’t entirely exclusive to Bai Xue’s abilities, right?"
"Indeed, I can also do this."
Veronia chuckled, waving her hand to condense several snowballs, all showcasing the hot spring water characteristics. Seeing this, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,
"Then we shouldn’t have to join the crowd, huh~"
"Probably so."
Nodding slightly, Veronia was indifferent about this, as to her, Bai Xue people weren’t that special.
Meanwhile, during idle chat, Feng Yuan and his group noticed numerous Spirit Beasts emerging from the intake position, clearly indicating Hot Springs Town’s announcement was not just all talk; they indeed organized Spirit Beasts entering from the intake to perform.
Of course, given the intake’s special nature, even without security measures, only limited kinds of Spirit Beasts could pass through.
Nevertheless, the Spirit Beasts emerging from the intake evoked substantial attention and curiosity, slightly relieving the Bai Xue person from the crowd’s demand.
