Chapter 128 Gu Yuena: Music
Huo Yuhao extended his finger and placed it on Wang Dong'er's wrist.
After a moment, he frowned slightly, looked at Wang Dong'er, and said in a gentle tone.
"Dong'er, did you eat a lot of good food during this holiday? The medicine in your body has accumulated too much, and you're a bit too weak to handle it. It seems that the immortal herbs I prepared for you will be of no use for the time being."
Looking at it this way, it's clear that she needs to completely neutralize and absorb the complex medicinal power within her body before she can consider taking other celestial products.
Wang Dong'er's eyes became somewhat unfocused, and she subconsciously avoided Huo Yuhao's gaze, muttering softly.
"I... I only ate a few ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms from the sect's treasure vault... not much."
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly.
Not many?
An ordinary person might never see a rare herb in their entire life, but you end up eating it like cabbage.
This girl has probably emptied the Haotian Sect's treasury of all the relevant medicinal materials, hasn't she?
If Wang Dong'er hadn't also cultivated the Haotian Secret Technique, she would have developed health problems long ago with her eating habits.
Seeing Wang Dong'er's obviously guilty and slightly aggrieved expression, Huo Yuhao couldn't bear to point it out to her any further.
He simply took out a large chrysanthemum from his storage soul tool. The chrysanthemum was a beautiful purple color with golden glitter at the tip of its stamen. Then he looked at Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie and said.
"Xiao Xiao, this immortal herb is called Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju. Eating it can circulate Qi in the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, effectively enhancing physical fitness."
Your Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron is a metal-attribute martial soul, and also a twin martial soul. Improving your physical attributes will greatly help the upper limit of the soul rings you can add as a second martial soul in the future.
"Thank you, Yuhao."
Xiao Xiao stepped forward shyly and took the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju.
A lovely blush graced her fair cheeks. She quickly gave Huo Yuhao a light peck on the cheek, then swiftly withdrew, lowering her head to avoid looking at him.
Huo Yuhao touched his cheek, then took out a jade box from his storage soul tool and handed it to Cui Yajie.
"Ya Jie, open it and take a look."
Cui Yajie smiled sweetly, took the jade box but did not open it immediately.
A pair of fluffy fox ears emerged from the top of her head and twitched gently a few times.
Two large, moist tails emerged from behind, nimbly wrapping around Huo Yuhao's waist, their tips playfully rubbing against his side.
No one dislikes furry things, and Huo Yuhao is no exception.
Cui Yajie naturally enjoyed showcasing her unique strengths and letting Huo Yuhao experience her charm. She then kissed Huo Yuhao on the cheek without hesitation to express her gratitude.
Wang Dong'er, watching this scene from the side, felt a pang of jealousy.
Why is it that they all have an excuse to be close to Huo Yuhao, but I don't?
Even the kiss of thanks seemed so natural.
Damn it, you have no excuse, huh!
Ning Tian watched with a smile. Wu Feng glanced nervously at Gu Yuena, who was engrossed in eating. Seeing that the main character didn't react in any particular way, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Lu sipped her tea, feeling happy for her best friend Cui Yajie.
Ya Jie's behavior was a bit too bold, wasn't it? Is this how you use a martial soul?
As she thought about it, Zhu Lu's cheeks flushed slightly, perhaps because she was thinking of some embarrassing scene.
While eating pastries, Gu Yuena took in the reactions of the other women, smiled slightly, and didn't pay too much attention.
However, seeing Wang Dong'er's frustrated expression, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
Especially when he thought about Huo Yuhao's complicated relationship with Wang Dong'er in his previous life.
But what can we do about it?
The thought that he was now firmly standing at the finish line, and seeing Wang Dong'er's reaction, made him feel like he was adding to the fun between him and Yuhao.
Gu Yuena: (=ω=), Happy!
The moment Cui Yajie opened the jade box, a rich orchid fragrance immediately filled the entire room, instantly invigorating everyone present.
Inside the jade box was a unique eight-petaled orchid, pure white and translucent, just like the finest mutton fat jade.
Huo Yuhao explained gently, "This immortal herb is called the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. Its medicinal properties are the mildest, and it has the effects of strengthening the body's foundation and improving the cultivation speed of a Soul Master."
Its effects are also the most lasting and slowest, so Ya Jie, after you absorb it, the increase in your soul power may not be as much as others at the beginning.
Upon hearing this, Cui Yajie blinked her watery pink eyes, shook her head, and said softly, "Yuhao, I know."
Among the group of girls surrounding Huo Yuhao, her talent and family background are arguably the lowest.
Even Zhu Lu and Huo Yuhao can use a spirit fusion technique to connect, but what about her?
Sometimes she even thought that it wouldn't be long before she was far surpassed by her other best friends in terms of soul power cultivation. After all, some things really can't be made up for by hard work alone.
Cui Yajie subconsciously gripped the jade box in her hand, but her eyes were not on the eight-petaled fairy orchid. Instead, her heart and mind were filled with Huo Yuhao's image. Her blood seemed to be getting slightly hot, and her heart was beating faster.
As Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie began absorbing the immortal herbs, the atmosphere in the private room temporarily quieted down.
But the more Wang Dong'er thought about it, the angrier she became. Suddenly, she made a suggestion.
"Alright, alright. Xiao Xiao and Ya Jie will probably be absorbing the essence for several hours. It's pretty boring for everyone to just sit here like this. How about we play a game? I just found the chessboard here."
As a teahouse under the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School, although it is called a teahouse, the interior private rooms are decorated like multi-functional rooms, integrating multiple functions such as tea tasting and entertainment.
There was even a large, soft bed in the small cubicle next to it, but I don't know what it was used for.
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng subconsciously recalled the game he had suggested playing a long time ago, and the series of "tragic" experiences that followed.
She glanced at Gu Yuena, who was calm and collected, and was only eating pastries, before looking at Wang Dong'er with some hesitation and speaking.
"Dong'er, we're playing a serious game, right?"
Wang Dong'er chuckled, revealing a sly smile.
"Of course it's a proper game. How about we play the Four Kingdoms Chess?"
The game of Four Kingdoms Chess only began to flourish after the clash between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent.
Originally popular only in the military, it later became widely popular among civilians after the rules were simplified.
This type of board game emphasizes strategic alliances and tests players' tactical cooperation, psychological warfare, and ability to restrain each other.
Wang Dong'er glanced at everyone and said meaningfully, "However, since it's a game, there has to be some kind of prize to make it more fun, right?"
The loser will have to accept a small punishment. Of course, the winner will also receive a reward. So, does everyone want to play?
As Wang Dong'er finished speaking, Ning Tian's lips curled up slightly, and he was the first to raise his hand to say, "Sitting here is indeed quite boring, count me in."
Seeing that Ning Tian had chosen to participate, Wu Feng, remembering his "tragic" experience last time, gritted his teeth and said, "Since Young Master is also playing, then count me in too."
Zhu Lu glanced at Huo Yuhao without making a sound, her pretty face blushing slightly, and then she also raised her hand to indicate that she would join.
Gu Yuena, who was enjoying various exquisite pastries, also stopped what she was doing.
She naturally understood the undisguised deeper meaning in Wang Dong'er's words and blinked.
It's clear that this Silver Dragon King, which only has three states, is about to transform into its next state.
Seeing the eager women, Huo Yuhao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
They're probably going to play some brain-training games.
In just a few hours, Huo Yuhao quietly retreated to the side of the futon and approached Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie, who were absorbing the power of the immortal herbs.
As the prize for winning this game, he naturally had no right to participate in the game himself.
Even just watching from the sidelines was thrilling enough.
Wang Dong'er, as the proposer of the game, did not demonstrate any superb chess skills, nor did she understand what cooperation and win-win meant, or rather, she never even considered cooperating with anyone.
She wasn't wearing many clothes to begin with, and now she was only wearing her underwear, which perfectly showcased the girl's budding but still developing curves.
Even so, she still stubbornly insisted that "we will definitely win the next round," and it's unknown whether she regretted setting the punishment as requiring the last two players to take off a piece of clothing.
Huo Yuhao originally thought that, given Ning Tian and Wu Feng's relationship, they should be able to achieve good results in a game like Chinese chess that requires teamwork.
But to everyone's surprise, Ning Tian repeatedly betrayed Wu Feng, ultimately sending Wu Feng to the ranks of the losers.
This has led to Wu Feng and Zhu Lu occasionally finding themselves among the losers.
Although the situation is somewhat better than Wang Dong'er's, it is still very limited.
Both of them were disheveled, with large expanses of their snow-white skin exposed to the air, radiating a lustrous glow that was extremely eye-catching.
Especially Zhu Lu, after absorbing the immortal herb, her already impressive figure seemed to have developed further.
Her full curves are almost bursting out; it probably won't be long before she catches up with Sister Peach's size.
It's absolutely terrifying.
As for Gu Yuena, she quit after playing only one game, showing little interest.
She found this kind of childish game of make-believe to be incredibly boring.
Neither rewards nor punishments meant anything to her.
What difficulty would it be for her to openly kiss Huo Yuhao or show off her figure in front of him?
She and Huo Yuhao have a deep and intimate relationship, and are lifelong partners.
The way these little girls play is no longer suitable for her.
Having figured this out, Gu Yuena reverted to her original state of simply eating pastries.
He simply watched with great interest as the various factions schemed and fought amongst themselves on the Chinese chess board, much to Huo Yuhao's amusement.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Xiao, who was the first to awaken from her meditative state, felt warm all over her body.
She jumped up from the futon with a happy expression and ran to Huo Yuhao in a few steps, her voice full of joy.
"Yuhao, I feel like I'm already level 30. And I think that after I absorb the third spirit ring, my spirit power level should increase even more."
As she spoke, she excitedly opened her arms and threw herself into Huo Yuhao's embrace.
Feeling the joy emanating from the petite girl in his arms, Huo Yuhao patted her little head. "Well, once you and Ya Jie are ready, we'll apply to the academy's Soul Hunting Team together. I'll have Teacher Xian Lin'er personally lead the team and accompany you."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Xiao buried her head in Huo Yuhao's arms and let out a satisfied hum.
Then, she slightly raised her head, her large, watery eyes gazing at Huo Yuhao's face, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Yuhao, why do your lips look a little swollen?"
Before Huo Yuhao could respond, Xiao Xiao's gaze had already passed over his shoulder and landed on the sofa not far away, where several people were circling the chessboard, and on their revealing outfits.
The girl immediately understood, and she had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Xiao Xiao playfully stuck out her tongue. "Thank you for your hard work, Yuhao."
Feeling the hard-won understanding and warmth from the girl in his arms, Huo Yuhao almost shed tears of emotion.
But to everyone's surprise, the next second, Xiao Xiao blushed slightly and asked softly, "Um, Yuhao, you shouldn't mind if I join in, right?"
Huo Yuhao's smile froze again.
Meanwhile, Cui Yajie on the other side also slowly woke up.
She couldn't help but stretch, letting out a soft, enigmatic hum.
As she moved, her fox ears and tail quietly appeared.
Unlike before, the fox fur, which was originally pink, has now mostly turned snow-white, with only the tips of the fox ears and tail gradually turning into a delicate cherry red.
Her original pink hair was also unusual; instead of turning into waves as it usually did when she possessed a martial soul, it turned into a bright, white color like moonlight, with a faint shimmer between the strands.
Even her already beautiful pink eyes were now tinged with an even more vibrant red, exuding a natural charm with every glance.
Cui Yajie's entire demeanor has undergone a dramatic change.
If her previous allure was the kind that needed to be deliberately displayed to be revealed, then now she is naturally charming, exuding a unique fragrance in every smile and frown.
This exotic fragrance is faint and elusive, like the scent of orchids and musk, carrying a strange allure.
What's even more peculiar is that only the person she loves can clearly smell this exotic fragrance.
What made Cui Yajie feel even more embarrassed and at a loss was that she could feel her blood vessels becoming unusually active after consuming the immortal herb.
It was as if it was cheering and celebrating for her, announcing that her body had fully developed and was ready to receive Huo Yuhao's bloodline.
In the world of soul beasts, the mating of a powerful male dragon with a female soul beast of another race is often regarded as a favor.
Feeling the strange throbbing and sense of submission that she couldn't help but feel towards Huo Yuhao, Cui Yajie's gaze towards Huo Yuhao became increasingly moist and dreamy.
Xiao Xiao looked at Cui Yajie's shy and flushed face and felt a little strange.
In her memory, Ya Jie had always been the bravest among them, so why was she now acting like a lovestruck young girl?
Xiao Xiao walked over with concern and took Cui Yajie's hand: "Yajie, are you alright? Why is your face so red?"
From an angle where Xiao Xiao couldn't see, Cui Yajie secretly punched her lower abdomen, trying to suppress the itching sensation inside her that made her blush.
She shook her head, trying to remain calm, her voice trembling slightly: "I'm fine, it's probably just a bit stuffy in the room."
Hearing Cui Yajie say this, Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement.
After all, the atmosphere in the room was indeed a bit too ambiguous.
