Chapter 293.3. The Even-more Terrifying Xiao Hongchen


    Jing Hongchen nodded. His expression seemed a lot better than before with the Imperial Tutors affirmation.


    The rostrum was calm and cool, but that didnt mean the audience shared the sameposure. Retreating without a battle was a cowardly act in their eyes, and the team that represented the empires dignity actually admitted defeat, just like that! Shouts and curses echoed throughout the arena, and some impulsive citizens would have rushed forward if there hadnt been soldiers standing guard all around.


    Xiao Hongchen threw a cold nce in Huo Yuhaos direction after admitting defeat, before jumping down from thepetition stage along with his sister and his two remainingpanions. Nothing else was said.


    Huo Yuhaos eyes closed into slits. The Sun Moon Empire will be a lot harder to deal with now.


    Xu Sanshi frowned and said, I wanted to take this chance to cripple them for good. I didnt expect them to be so frightened.


    Jiang Nannan shook her head and said, I dont think theyre afraid. Look at Xiao Hongchens eyes... do you see a drop of fear? We would definitely be unable to emerge unscathed even if we met them head-on and beat them in the group battle. Weve improved since five years ago, but Im sure our opponents have improved, as well. Dont forget that the two siblings were already Soul Kings five year ago.


    Xiao Xiao chimed in, The Sun Moon Empires reserve team cant be that weak. Even though weve won this round, we havent done much to weaken their overall strength.


    Lets go, Huo Yuhao said.


    ---


    Everyone got off thepetition stage, and their expressions immediately became a lot more rxed than before. No matter what, they had still managed to defeat the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy in front of the Sun Moon Empires crowd. They believed that the Tang Sects name would resonate through every single household within the Sun Moon Empire. Of course, the other teams would also begin to ce a lot more emphasis on them...


    Huo Yuhao. A voice rang out behind them just as they were about to head back to the Brilliant Delight Hotel, and someone blocked their path.


    Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned when he saw this person. Do you need something, Qiuer? Wang Qiuer, the Shrek Academy team leader, was the one who had stopped them.


    Wang Qiuer lowered her voice and said, Shrek Academy doesnt need your help. We will defeat them all the same. Of course, she knew why the Tang Sect had decided to go all-out in this round. Her voice sounded tough and cold, but her eyes were filled with unbending will.


    Huo Yuhao was still under his own spell, and thus his expression could only be cold as he said inly, We didnt mean to help you guys, and we were only helping ourselves. Weve won the first round, and good luck to you guys.


    Wang Qiuer grunted coldly as she turned around and left. Nobody saw it, but she was biting down on her rosy lips when she turned back, and her eyes were a little nk and vacant. A thought suddenly surfaced in her mind... Did he do all that for me?


    The round robin stage continued, but the Tang Sect and the Sun Moon Empires team both decided to leave immediately.


    ------


    Everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest once they were back in the hotel. Huo Yuhao followed Wang Donger back to their room.


    Huo Yuhao suddenly said, Take off your clothes.


    Wang Donger was momentarily stunned, but she quickly recovered and understood that he wanted to see her injuries. But she still pouted and said, Yuhao, youre not allowed to use that ice-cold spell anymore. I dont like you this way.


    The corner of Huo Yuhaos mouth twitched. Do you think Ill have the ability to direct a battle with you around if I dont use this ability? I didnt say it before this, but the truth is that we might not have won the group battle today. If Im not wrong, Xiao Hongchens abilities have broken through into yet another level. I studied his blood cirction and his soul power undtions closely before this, and I believe that my judgment is right.


    Wang Donger was dumbfounded. Are you saying that hes already how is that possible? Hes only twenty years old!


    Huo Yuhao answered, Dont forget that the Illustrious Virtue Hall is excessively wealthy, and they dontck resources of any kind. Its not impossible to use exotic herbs and medicine to force out a Soul Sage at the age of twenty. Furthermore, the effects that his abilities have against soul tools are incredibly difficult to deal with. Im very worried about how Shrek Academys team will fare against them. They will never give up theirbat against the Sun Moon Empire with our performance today, and with Shrek Academys glory at stake. They will undoubtedly choose to fight until the end, but thats not something that I wish to see.


    Wang Donger thought for a moment and said, Weve already done what we could. Dont think too much.


    Huo Yuhao tilted his head and said, Itll be very difficult for Shrek Academy to defeat the Sun Moon Empires team with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen around. Eh, why havent you taken off your clothes yet?


    Wang Donger blushed. You youre staring at me like that, how am I supposed to take them off?


    Huo Yuhaos eyes were as cold as ever. Wang Donger felt as if she were being scrutinized and interrogated by that pair of eyes, and it didnt feel good at all.


    Huo Yuhao forced augh and said, Ill turn around, then. Lie down on the bed after youve taken off your clothes, and Ill help you inspect your body.


    The corner of Wang Dongers mouth twitched. Your words sound very strange. Youre not allowed to touch ces youre not supposed to.


    Ahem, am I that kind of person? Huo Yuhao answered calmly.


    Wang Donger grunted and retorted, Yes, you are!


    It took five minutes, as Wang Donger took her time and reluctantly removed her clothes before sheid face down on the bed, and Huo Yuhao began to inspect the injuries on her back.


    The Goddess of Lights Possessions defensive effects were extremely formidable. Even though the dposition rays didnt have their own element, the Possession withstood the brunt of the attack, and Wang Donger merely suffered surface abrasions and scratches. She also wielded the powerful element of light, and this continuously nourished her body and helped her recover.


    Huo Yuhao still wasnt assured despite all that. He discreetly poked a hole in his own finger as he inspected her wounds, and he squeezed some blood onto her wounds. The Life Gold that he had ingested contained immense life energy, and even though there was little of it left because he had been continuously assimting it, he still had ample life energy. Wang Dongers recovery naturally elerated because of his blood.


    Yuhao, the Radiant City Elite Soul Engineering Competition is happening tomorrow night, right? Lucky for us, its on a different day from our own tournament. Wang Donger was a little panicky and anxious. Even though her rtionship with Huo Yuhao had already been settled, this was the first time that she had revealed her naked body before him. Huo Yuhao was just looking at her back, but she was still a virgin young girl, and it was incredibly embarrassing. She tried her best to talk about other things so that she could distract herself.


    Huo Yuhaos eyes were already ck at this point. He felt an intense heartache seeing the three wounds on Wang Dongers back, but even so, her silky and smooth skin, the tender curves of her body, her thin and slender waist, and her perky buttocks were so fatally alluring and beautiful. He felt as if her body was inviting him to make a mistake.


    No spell could enable Huo Yuhao to keep his cool at a time like this. He took deep and forceful breaths again and again so that he could maintain hisposure. It took a lot of effort before his quivering fingers managed to smudge some of his blood onto all three of Wang Dongers wounds.


    What are you doing, Yuhao? Why do my wounds feel so itchy? Wang Donger suddenly shifted her body subtly.


    Huo Yuhao felt his entire body freeze up. Right when Wang Donger was shifting her position, two semicircles that were squeezed out from underneath her chest entered his field of view.


    This the proportion is just so good even though she cantpare to Xiaotao, she isnt that far off...


    Why arent you talking, Yuhao? Wang Donger turned around to look at him, and she coincidentally met his eyes that were fixated upon a certain somewhere. She eximed in shock and immediately pulled up the nket to cover her body, and tossed a pillow at him with her other hand.


    What are you looking at, you idiot!


    Huo Yuhao wasnt prepared at all, and the pillow almost knocked him dizzy. However, he still maintained his cool because of the spell and he answered calmly, Im staring at the most beautiful things in the world.


    Wang Donger poked her head out from underneath the nket and said angrily, Were they nice to look at?


    Huo Yuhao sounded very serious as he replied, Yes, they were very nice.


    Wang Donger grunted indignantly and said, Youre sleeping on the floor today as punishment.


    Huo Yuhaos body suddenly trembled, and his face became ghastly pale as his head tilted back diagonally onto his wheelchair. Ive used too much spiritual power. I feel so weak. He closed his eyes as he spoke.


    Wang Donger was truly startled by his behaviour, and she wrapped the nket around herself as she sat up. However, she quickly realized that a certain shameless fellow had his eyes closed, but his eyshes were still quivering faintly.


    You feel weak, huh. Then you can sit on your wheelchair and feel weak all you want. Im going to take a nap, and you can forget about going for lunch after this. Just stay there and feel exhausted. Wang Donger muttered coldly, and she rapidly put on her clothes with the nket covering her body before shey downfortably on the bed.


    Huo Yuhao opened his eyes exasperatedly. I dont want to be like this either, and this is all because of that spell. Yes, its all because of that. The spell will always make me deal with things in the way thats most beneficial for me. Look like I cant use this spell anymore. You cant me me, Donger. You cant punish me like that.


    Wang Donger still sounded a little upset. Youre still under that spell, so I will not believe a single word you say. Furthermore, dealing with things is one thing, and your eyes looking at things youre not supposed to is another. If I dont punish you in some way hmph!


    Huo Yuhao droned on and said, Youve changed, Donger. Youve always been so gentle and tender in recent days. Why are you like this today? I was just taking a look, its not a big deal.


    Wang Donger sat up and stared at Huo Yuhao seriously. Tell me honestly, Yuhao. Do you like how I am like now, or do you like how gentle and tender I was?


    Huo Yuhao was taken aback. I dont know. Both seem pretty good. When youre warm, I feel like Im about to melt. However, I feel a little more familiar with the way you are now. Whats wrong, Donger? Is there something on your mind? If there is, you should tell me, you should never bottle things up in your heart. Have I made you angry somehow?
