Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Ma Xiaotao said calmly, "Your soul skill is very strong! But it doesn't seem to have the function of misleading others. How did you manage to make Xiao Xu jump off the stage on his own?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Detection sharing? Who says that what's shared has to be real images and information?"

After a moment's thought, Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly and praised in a cool tone, "Your comprehension is also very good. Your application of soul skills and control of mental power allow you to perform the function of two soul skills with just one."

Huo Yuhao was starting to lose his composure, unsure whether this was a compliment or an insult. This wasn't the effect of two soul skills, but four! And million-year soul skills at that!

Ma Xiaotao stopped talking, moved lightly past Huo Yuhao, and bent down slightly to check Xu Sanshi's injuries.

After the inspection, Ma Xiaotao frowned.

She sought out Xu Sanshi because his Xuanming Turtle was the best water-attribute martial soul in the academy, and she could use some of its power to help him suppress the evil fire. However, based on her examination, Xu Sanshi's injuries would probably take several days to recover.

Ma Xiaotao glanced at Huo Yuhao and made some intuitive judgments about the strength of his mental power.

Moreover, his mental power seemed capable of dissolving the evil fire, but—

In that brief moment, she felt as if she were about to succumb to desire. If this continued, she feared she wouldn't be able to resist this junior student at all, and would she become utterly submissive and begging for his attention?

Looking back, Ma Xiaotao suppressed her embarrassment and impulsiveness, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Ma Xiaotao said, "Your name is Huo Yuhao, right? Junior, it's nice to meet you. Hope we meet again someday."

Only after Ma Xiaotao left did Tang Ya and the medical staff dare to come forward.

Tang Ya patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder lightly, her tone filled with joy and a hint of reproach, "I really didn't expect you, Yuhao, to be so secretive and strong. I, your sister, didn't know a thing about it. How are you going to make it up to me?"

Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "Sister Xiaoya, I didn't hide it from you. That day at the school gate, Xu Sanshi attacked me. Didn't I seriously injure Xu Sanshi in a similar way to today?"

"Huh? Really?" Tang Ya was stunned. She tilted her head and thought back carefully. It seemed that Xu Sanshi had indeed bled from all seven orifices back then, just like today.

Tang Ya blushed slightly and said, "I thought Xu Sanshi saw Nan Nan hitting him and just let him get beaten up without fighting back, and ended up getting seriously injured by Nan Nan. It turns out you also got involved, Yuhao!"

Jiang Nannan gently took Huo Yuhao's arm and said, "Xu Sanshi had already lost the ability to resist before I used my waist to throw him that day."

Tang Ya said coquettishly, "I just wasn't paying attention."

"Yuhao, tell me quickly, how exactly did you do it? Also, how did you trick Xu Sanshi into coming off the stage? Was the Earth Bull that crashed into itself and died during the entrance exam also done using a similar method?" Tang Ya couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Seriously injuring Xu Sanshi will be as simple as attacking him with powerful mental energy. As for how to trick Xu Sanshi off the stage—"

Huo Yuhao repeated the reason he had prepared beforehand.

Wang Dong didn't believe Huo Yuhao's nonsense at all. She felt she had seen through everything. She didn't believe the story about transmitting fake images to the enemy. Seeing that everyone else believed Huo Yuhao's story, Wang Dong felt like she was the only one who was sober in a world of fools. She was ready to interrogate him thoroughly when she got back!

"I see! Yuhao, your century-old soul skill is truly incredibly versatile!" Beibei exclaimed with some admiration.

After the battle, the group went to have dinner. Tang Ya was in such a hurry that none of them ate.

Bei Bei stayed at the Soul Arena to take care of the seriously injured Xu Sanshi. According to the medical teacher, Xu Sanshi suffered a second mental blow and would have to stay in bed for at least ten days to half a month. There would be no way to ask Xu Sanshi for the three Xuan Shui Pills in the short term.

The main concern was that angering Xu Sanshi might worsen his injuries, which would be counterproductive.

Huo Yuhao gave one of the two Xuan Shui Pills he had obtained today to Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan was born into a commoner family and couldn't afford to use any rare and precious materials for her cultivation. Compared to others, she needed this Xuan Shui Pill more than anyone else.

Jiang Nannan wanted to decline, but Huo Yuhao persuaded her, "Sister Nannan, please accept it. The Xuan Shui Pill is most effective the first time you take it. Xu Sanshi still owes you three pills, and I can't use so many. Besides, given our relationship, Sister Nannan, why are you being so polite with me? Just consider it my betrothal gift."

Jiang Nannan was struck by Huo Yuhao's words, feeling both shy and happy. She tightly clutched the Xuan Shui Pill in her hand, her big, joyful eyes gazing at Huo Yuhao with tender affection, her eyes shining as if they were touching Huo Yuhao's heartstrings.

Huo Yuhao smiled gently, quietly watching the girl who was shining just for him at this moment. Only at this moment would the girl exude a charm far beyond her peerless beauty.

After a long while, Tang Ya and the others finally couldn't help but break the atmosphere.

"Oh dear, I'm so full tonight! I can't eat anymore. You two should call it a day!" Tang Ya said with a grin.

Wang Dong looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, while Xiao Xiao seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the gossip.

It's under review, please wait a bit, it may need to be revised.

Chapter 56 Dong'er, the Water King

That evening, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong returned to their dormitory. Wang Dong looked dejected. She had originally planned to interrogate Huo Yuhao thoroughly that night, but then she remembered what Huo Yuhao had said to Jiang Nannan.

Mysterious Water Pill, betrothal gift—

Tang Ya has everything, but I don't!

Wang Dong sniffed, glared at Huo Yuhao, jumped onto the bed, wrapped himself in the blanket, and prepared to sleep soundly!

Huo Yuhao smiled, and only after Wang Dong angrily buried himself in the blankets did he say gently, "I still have a Xuan Shui Pill here, do you want it?"

Wang Dong turned her back to Huo Yuhao, pretending not to hear his words. Hmph, she didn't want leftovers being given to others.

But her two ears, which were sticking out from under the covers, twitched slightly and quietly perked up.

She still wanted to hear if this jerk would continue to coax her, but no matter how much he tried, she wouldn't talk to him today.

Huo Yuhao smiled silently and said softly, "Dong'er, do you want your betrothal gifts?"

Wang Dong, her face flushed, threw off the covers, rolled over, glared at Huo Yuhao with her big eyes, and huffed, "What dowry? I don't want it!"

Huo Yuhao sighed regretfully.

Wang Dong got out of bed and came to Huo Yuhao, extending his left hand.

"Bring it!"

"What?" Huo Yuhao looked puzzled.

Wang Dong blushed, but kept a cold expression.

"Didn't you say you were going to give me the Mystic Water Pill? Give it to me!"

"You mean this?" Huo Yuhao shook the Xuan Shui Pill in his hand, then put it into his storage soul tool, and chuckled, "When receiving a gift, you should at least dress formally, right? That makes it feel more ceremonial. Dong'er, you don't want my first gift to you to seem too casual, do you?"

Wang Dong glared at Huo Yuhao, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly went to the bathroom to change his clothes.

"I want to see what you look like as you are!" Huo Yuhao shouted.

"Dream on!" Wang Dong refused without the slightest hesitation.

Huo Yuhao waited a moment and then saw Wang Dong standing gracefully at the balcony door, wearing a black fitted dress. Under the night sky, she looked like an elf.

Wang Dong's long, light blue hair cascaded down her back, her swan-like neck was long and slender, and she wore a black decorative choker that she and Huo Yuhao had bought together. Her rounded shoulders were exposed in the night, radiating a soft glow. Her delicate hands, clad in black mesh gloves, were held in front of her.

Her all-black outfit gave her a touch of nighttime mystery to her innocent look, making her appear both pure and alluring.

Having experienced the temptations of Zhou Yi, Ma Xiaotao, and Jiang Nannan during the day, Huo Yuhao was burning with desire. Seeing this alluring outfit now, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Huo Yuhao's gaze remained fixed on her as he gracefully stepped forward to Wang Dong. He gently took her delicate hand and slowly placed the Xuan Shui Pill in it, saying softly, "Dong'er, do you think this Xuan Shui Pill is the first betrothal gift or just a regular present?"

Wang Dong turned her head slightly, her beautiful eyes beneath her delicate eyebrows avoiding Huo Yuhao's burning gaze like a startled fawn. Her cherry lips murmured almost imperceptibly, "Whatever you like is what you get!"

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, "Then let it be the first betrothal gift!"

"So, how should Dong'er reciprocate?" Huo Yuhao whispered, leaning close to Wang Dong's flawless face.

"Huh?! A return gift?" Wang Dong's bright almond-shaped eyes widened, a flicker of surprise crossing her face, quickly followed by a hint of resentment. Why didn't you ask for a return gift when you gave Jiang Nannan her betrothal gifts? Am I really not as important to you as she is?

Huo Yuhao reached out and grasped Wang Dong's slender, beautiful figure, clad in black stockings, gently pulling the girl's soft body into his arms. He said softly, "Yes, it's a return gift. A marriage requires a dowry, and a bride requires a bride's dowry. Dong'er should think carefully about how she should marry me in the future."

The grievances that had been brewing in Wang Dong's heart were instantly dispelled, replaced by an overwhelming sweetness and shy joy. Unconsciously, she gently leaned her head against the boy's chest, her long eyelashes trembling beneath her delicate brows, her bright eyes slightly dazed, and in her dizziness, she felt her heart pounding fiercely.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head and smiled, taking advantage of the night to examine the girl's beautiful face. He saw the blush spreading across the girl's snow-white skin, like brocade, and spreading to her slender and graceful neck. She was truly as beautiful as a peach blossom and as delicate as a morning flower. Huo Yuhao's gaze was momentarily lost in thought.

The girl was, after all, the daughter of a god-king, and had been pampered since childhood, so she had a somewhat arrogant temperament. Just now, she was only distracted by shyness and joy. Now that she had recovered, she felt a mix of shyness and joy, but she also felt that she couldn't let this bad guy fall for her tricks so easily.

The girl struggled slightly, but felt the bad guy hold her even tighter, so she stopped struggling, raised her head, her bright eyes sparkling, and said in a coquettish voice, "I won't marry you, you bad guy!"

"Since you know I'm a bad guy, you should know that you have to marry me even if you don't want to, right?" Huo Yuhao suddenly leaned closer and whispered in the girl's ear.

The warm breath against her ear made Wang Dong flustered, and the boy's words made her even more shy. Struggling to turn her face away, a hint of annoyance appeared between the girl's delicate brows, and she couldn't help but chide, "You bad boy, you... um~~"

As the shadows drew near and their aura assaulted her, the girl felt a soft touch on her lips, as if she had been electrocuted. Her delicate body went limp and she could hardly control herself.

The girl's bright, shy, and joyful eyes slowly became hazy. Her previously tense arms unconsciously wrapped around the boy's back, her fingers interlaced, and the jade bottle she was holding fell to the ground. Her pearly teeth parted slightly, and a soft moan escaped her tongue. The girl's bright eyes closed slightly, allowing the boy to conquer her.

Unlike their first physical contact, this time the girl's consciousness did not fade. In her hazy state, she could feel the surging heat within her body, and a bone-melting, soul-stirring pleasure. This hazy yet clear sensation made the girl blush with shyness, her fair face turning rosy, her snow-white skin glowing.

Huo Yuhao savored the two sweet buds, supporting the soft, yielding girl with both hands. He felt his clothes were soaked, but he felt even thirstier and could only sip the sweet spring water to quench his thirst.

Huo Yuhao gently pulled Wang Dong to sit on a chair, placed the girl on his lap, and patted her snowy back to ease her shyness. He couldn't help but feel a little happy.

At this moment, Wang Dong gently buried her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, her clear and bright almond-shaped eyes somewhat lost in thought.

He kissed me?

For some reason, the girl wasn't thinking about her soaked dress at that moment, but rather the lingering feeling of their lips touching.

After a long while, the girl, who had come to her senses, felt the dampness and coolness on her body.

Overwhelmed with shame, the girl's gaze drifted to the boy's profile. She pursed her cherry lips, lowered her eyes, and murmured, "You...you go take a shower first, and change...change your clothes while you're at it."

Huo Yuhao gently stroked the girl's snowy back, soothing her unspeakable shame and embarrassment. The girl's delicate body, which had been trembling with excitement, slowly calmed down.

Huo Yuhao then said gently, "It's alright. I actually like you the way you are. Go change your clothes first. It's chilly at night, and it's uncomfortable to be all wet."
