Chapter 223.2. Intimacy


    Huo Yuhaoughed and said, Yeswhats inside is absolutely more important than your beauty. Ill still love you even if you be ugly in the future.


    Wang Donger rebuked him. Youre the one thats going to get ugly. Even though her tone sounded angry, there was only sweetness and warmth in her eyes.


    There wasnt much light in the room. She rested her cheeks in her hands and nted her elbows on the table while she watched Huo Yuhao eat.


    I investigated Wang Qiuers situation a little more. Her soul power is around Rank 60, which is quite impressive, considering she isnt even twenty yet. She doesnt have her sixth soul ring yet, and Ive heard from vice-Dean Cai that the inner courtyard will organize a soul beast hunt soon, where theyll gather all the inner courtyard students at a bottleneck and venture into the Great Star Dou Forest. I imagine she will be participatingdont you need your fifth soul ring for your Spirit Eyes? Lets tag along.


    Huo Yuhao nced at her suspiciously and said, Tag along? What for? Do you still want to spy on her?


    Wang Donger said determinedly, I still feel like theres something wrong with her, but I cant put my finger on it. Maybe its just because we look too alikewere almost carbon copies! It wouldnt hurt to monitor her for a little bit longer, and I also want to see how shes like as a person.


    Huo Yuhao smiled and said, Its me who has to go anyway. You dont even need a soul ring, why do you want to go?


    Wang Donger giggled and said, I have to protect you! We have martial soul fusion skills, so well be a lot safer that way. Furthermore, youre a member of the Sea Gods Pavilion now, and youre the future heir of the academy. Shouldnt we be protecting you with everything we have? Im going to risk my own safety to protect you.


    Huo Yuhao had finished two bowls of porridge by now. Alright, alright. Its always nice to have a pretty girl to protect me. We can go, but its not easy to find a soul beast suitable for my Spirit Eyes! You know how difficult its always been to find spiritual-type soul beasts in the past, and I think we might just waste our time. My Ultimate Ice martial soul has five soul rings now, and if I cant find a suitable spiritual-type soul ring, my Ice Jade Empress Scorpion might just be my main martial soul, so Ill have to try my luck with my Spirit Eyes to find a suitable soul ring.


    Wang Donger nodded and said, Thats not a bad idea. However, we still have to try. Thepetition will be upon us in a few months, and another soul ring is anotheryer of protection.


    Huo Yuhao wiped his mouth, and swiftly put the bowls and tes back inside the lunchbox. He made an after you gesture to Wang Donger and said, Wifey,e onto the bed to rest.


    Psh! Go and take a shower. Wang Donger pped his hand away, and evaded him as quickly as she could. Her pretty face was blushing.


    Huo Yuhaos eyes sparkled and said, Take a shower? Ill be clean then, and we can


    Wang Donger snapped, Then well cultivate! Im warning you, if you dare to mess around, dont me me for whates next. Hmph. She waved her little fist in front of Huo Yuhao as she spoke.


    Huo Yuhao was full of exasperation. Why should I bathe if we want to cultivate? Were not going to hug each other to sleep, anyway. The truth is, weve never slept together ever since that night before I left for the exchange program. Didnt you say that I should learn how to rx? I think theres nothing more rxing than hugging you to sleep. Do you think we?


    Wang Dongers face ckened, and she snapped her head around before she strode towards the door and said, Im leaving.


    Ugh Sorry, I messed up. Huo Yuhao hurriedly grabbed her as she was slowly walking away, and gave her a warm smile as he said, Alright, alright. You should get ready on the bed first, and Ill take a shower now, and then well cultivate. Cultivation is too important, and every ounce of soul power that we gather will be imperative for our victory during thepetition.


    He suddenly acted like he had a strong sense of justice, and Wang Donger reached out and pinched him on the waist. Huo Yuhao flinched from the pain and hurriedly went ahead to the bathroom.


    Guys bathed a lot faster than girls, and a wet Huo Yuhao was back on the bed after a few minutes.


    He was always teasing Wang Donger, but he didnt dare to be a nuisance physically. He sat across from her, obedient and well-behaved, and they ced their palms against each other while the Haodong power began to circte.


    Wang Dongs soul bones flickered with golden light, catalyzing their soul power recovery.


    They were a little unsettled in the beginning. In the end, this was the first time they had cultivated on the same bed after their rtionship status had changed.


    But the gentle Haodong power gradually became stronger, and they had no choice but to fix their state of mind and focus on cultivation. It didnt take long before they finally entered meditation.


    Dawn was breaking, and the sun peeked out from the eastern horizon in the distance. Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger opened their eyes at almost the same time.


    Soul power surged within their bodies, and they were both pleasantly surprised when they felt the progress in their cultivation. Ever since Huo Yuhao fused with the Snow Empress, the repression he felt from his Ultimate Ices cultivation speed became less and less obvious. His cultivation speed was also greatly boosted with the help of the Haodong power.


    Huo Yuhao got off the bed first with a faint smile on his face, and he gestured politely to Wang Donger to follow suit.


    Wang Donger was smiling too and leapt off the bed before they walked towards the window together.


    They stared towards the east as they waited patiently for the dash of purple to arrive. They listened to the symphony of bird calls and the other peaceful sounds of nature that pulsed with life and vitality, and they felt the tranquility of this moment.


    The crisp fragrance of nts and vegetation wafted in, and the clean and fresh feelings seemed to lift their spirits.


    Howfortable!


    When the sun rose in the east, the pinch of purple came as it always did. Their eyes sparkled as they absorbed the purple energy, and purple hues glimmered in their eyes.


    One could tell the clear difference in the level of their Purple Demon Eyes. Huo Yuhaos eyes became like purple crystals, while Wang Dongs light-blue eyes were only masked with a faint purpleyer. The difference in their martial souls meant there would be quite a gap in their mastery of the Tang Sect Secret Techniques.


    They took a deep breath at the same time and gradually exhaled. Their routine Purple Demon Eyes cultivation came to an end.


    They were both revitalized and in high spirits after a night of cultivation. This wasnt just because of the increase in soul powerthey had rediscovered their mutual feelings of familiarity. The unfamiliarity and that invisible barrier brought about by Wang Dongs change in gender gradually disappeared, and their friendship was slowly and imperceptibly converting to a romantic rtionship.


    Do you have anything to do today? Wang Donger asked Huo Yuhao.


    Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, No, I dont. Ive settled the materials regarding Spirits yesterday, and Elder Xuan has stored it away in the Library. I think Im going to focus on cultivating over the next few days to prepare for the bigpetition.


    They didnt really feel any pressure at all when they talked about thepetition. They were so much strongerpared to five years ago, and others of the same age group would have a very tough time challenging them and Shreks Seven Monsters. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had imed the championship five years ago, so it was natural that they didnt think anybody could threaten their dominance today.


    Wang Donger thought for a moment, then said, We should register for the hunting expedition. If not, they may leave us behind, still in the dark.


    Huo Yuhao said amusingly, Youre still thinking about that? Alright, Ill listen to you. Lets look for eldest senior brother and the others afterwardsI met him yesterday, and he said that everyone is here now, and we should temporarilyy our responsibilities in the Tang Sect aside. Everyone shoulde together to train and practice our coordination, as we have a lot more soul skills now than before.


    Okay.


    They washed up and got some breakfast before they arrived in the outer courtyard once more. They would have to look for the Martial Soul Departments vice-Dean Cai Meier for registration, as she was in charge of the expedition, and her office was in the outer courtyards Martial Soul Department.


    What? You guys want to participate in this hunting expedition? Cai Meier looked astonished as she stared at Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger.


    Huo Yuhao nodded and said, Dean Cai, I have serendipitously obtained a fifth soul ring for my secondary martial soul, but my main martial soul still only has four soul rings. I am mainly a spiritual-type soul master, so I want to take this chance to add a fifth soul ring. This will be extremely beneficial for us during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament.


    Cai Meiers eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and she began to contemte the matter.


    Huo Yuhao couldnt help but feel a little surprised. He didnt think his request was outrageous at allit was just him and Wang Donger, and he was confident that they wouldnt be a burden to the group.


    Wang Donger asked, Dean Cai, does this expedition have a restriction on the number of people who are allowed to participate?


    Cai Meier shook her head and said, Theres no limit. However, its a bit troublesome if you two want to go, I cant make this decision. Dont forget, Yuhao, Elder Xuan has officially announced that youre the heir to the position of Master of the Sea Gods Pavilion, your status is now drastically different from before. No matter what activity you wish to participate in, we have to ensure your safety before anything else.


    Huo Yuhao finally realized what was going onso, Dean Cai was actually feeling conflicted about that.


    Dean Cai, there will be so many people moving together, and everyone is a member of the inner courtyard. There shouldnt much risk or danger.


    Cai Meier answered, Youre wrongits dangerous because of the fact that you guys are all students from the inner courtyard. If everyone were from the outer courtyard, we would only be hunting soul beasts in the Great Star Dou Forests Peripheral Regions. There would be a low chance for things to go awry as long there were teachers who were powerful enough leading the group. However, its different for you guys. All of you are five-ringed and six-ringed, and all of you have high standards for soul rings. Well have to venture deeper into the Great Star Dou Forest to find suitable soul rings for you guys, and under such circumstances, even the teachers-in-charge cannot guarantee absolute safety for everyone. The further we go into the Great Star Dou Forest, the more perilous it getsIm sure youre both aware of that.
