Watching Mu Xuelian enter the pond so calmly, Yuan thought it looked comfortable—an odd sight for him.
'This place is supposed to temper my Cold Harmony… 'How could training possibly feel comfortable?' he wondered.
After all, the path that had brought Yuan to where he stood today had been paved with hardship. Unless he was consuming a treasure, every method of training he had known was grueling and agonizing, offering not a single breath of peace or comfort.
'I should start my training, too.'
Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and also began to undress, placing his neatly folded robes on the ice bed.
He approached the pond and silently stared at it. Though Mu Xuelian had saved him some space, there was barely enough room for him, and it seemed impossible to train in it together without touching her.
"There's not enough space for both of us, so my back will be touching yours, if you don't mind," he said.
