Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, with her bright, smiling eyes, Tyrone, who had just been all muscle and menacing, blushed for the first time ever. He scratched the back of his head sheepishly, looking slightly awkward and shy, and stammered as he introduced himself, "You... hello, my name is Tyrone."
At this moment, Xuan Hao, hidden in the shadows of the tree canopy, took in the entire scene.
Seeing that the tension had completely dissipated and Tang San clearly had no intention of getting involved in Dai Mubai's mess, Xuan Hao was completely relieved.
As long as Tang San doesn't get involved, there won't be any major trouble ahead.
With Dugu Yan and Na'er's current abilities, they could easily handle not only a weakened Dai Mubai, but even several more.
Since there was no need to worry about this, Xuan Hao withdrew his spiritual power, turned around and left, silently heading towards Liu Erlong's courtyard.
……
Before long, Xuan Hao arrived at the secluded cottage where Liu Erlong lived alone at the end of the woods behind the academy.
However, today's situation is somewhat unusual.
The usually energetic Liu Erlong was now dressed in a close-fitting black silk nightgown, sitting on the steps at the gate of the courtyard watering flowers without any regard for his image.
She didn't even notice that the water in the kettle had overflowed; her brows were furrowed, and she looked worried and preoccupied.
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow; this was the first time he had ever seen the female Tyrannosaurus Rex show such a dejected expression.
He concealed his footsteps, crept up behind Liu Erlong, and gently patted her slender back.
"Who?!"
Liu Erlong was already distracted, and the sudden touch startled her so much that she trembled. Out of the instinctive defense of a high-level Soul Master, she didn't even look, and reflexively threw a powerful backhand punch, slamming it down with a sharp whoosh!
Xuan Hao stood there, neither dodging nor avoiding, and didn't even activate his soul power defense.
"boom!"
The punch landed solidly on his chest, producing a dull thud.
Upon recognizing Xuan Hao, Liu Erlong panicked instantly, her expression changing drastically. Although she hadn't used her Martial Soul, the instinctive punch thrown out by a Soul Saint of over seventy levels in a moment of shock was incredibly powerful!
If the opponent were a Soul Master with a slightly weaker physique, this blow would probably shatter their internal organs and send them flying to heaven on the spot!
"You bastard, why do you walk so silently?!" Liu Erlong quickly withdrew his hand, his voice filled with obvious panic and lingering fear. He hurriedly reached out to check where he had been hit, "Are you alright? Are you hurt...?"
However, Xuan Hao simply brushed off imaginary dust from his chest and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What could be wrong with me? Just think of it as scratching an itch. But you, why do you look so absent-minded so early in the morning? You look so worried..."
Xuan Hao stroked his chin, then suddenly had a wild idea and guessed, "Could it be that old bastard Yu Luomian finally got his comeuppance and died suddenly?"
The worry and panic on Liu Erlong's face froze completely the moment he heard those words.
She rolled her eyes in annoyance, pinched Xuan Hao's arm hard, and cursed through gritted teeth, "If that old bastard were really dead, I should be celebrating with gongs and drums and firecrackers in the streets of Tiandou City right now! Why would I be here looking so gloomy?!"
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow in confusion, then leaned closer with a look of curiosity: "So what's wrong with you? Sitting here so early in the morning, feeling melancholy. Come on, what's bothering you? Tell me and cheer me up."
Hearing those irritating words, three black lines instantly appeared on Liu Erlong's forehead. She glared at him angrily: "You bastard, you can't stand not provoking me for a day, can you?"
"Oh, just kidding." Xuan Hao laughed and quickly went behind her, reaching out to massage her shoulders and then gently patting her back. "I just saw you were feeling down and wanted to cheer you up with this kind of humor."
Feeling the warm, strong hand on her shoulder, Liu Erlong recalled Flander's lewd words from last night, and her expression immediately became somewhat unnatural. As if electrocuted, she frantically shook her shoulder, avoiding Xuan Hao's touch, clearly not wanting him to touch her at this moment.
Xuan Hao noticed her resistance but didn't force her. He sat down next to her quite naturally, turned his head and asked seriously, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Who's been so blind as to offend you? Tell me, and if you can't beat them, I'll stand up for you and take them down. Don't let my recent breakthrough to level 75 Soul Saint fool you; if it really comes down to it, I don't even consider ordinary Title Douluos a threat."
Liu Erlong was speechless for a moment, then turned and glared at him: "Stop pretending you don't know the answer. In this Tiandou City, besides you, who else can offend me?"
"So it was me?" Upon hearing this, Xuan Hao immediately spread his hands wide and puffed out his chest. "That's easy. Since I'm the one who upset you, then you can vent your anger yourself. Hit me here, hit me however you want. Anyway, I'm tough and can take a beating. I won't die."
Seeing his shameless, nonchalant attitude, Liu Erlong was completely exasperated. She couldn't help but sigh, a complex look in her eyes.
This bastard has been like this since he was a child; she's practically watched him grow up. All these years have passed, and his lawless nature hasn't changed at all.
“I was hoping that as you grew up and became stronger, you would at least become more mature,” Liu Erlong complained, rubbing his forehead. “But what happened? This shameless attitude is exactly the same as when you were a child, and even worse.”
Xuan Hao shrugged and argued confidently, "You can't say that. I'm not shameless with everyone. Just ask around on the mainland, and I think I've always dealt with most people by using my fists, right? If I can solve a problem with my fists, I won't even bother with a word."
"How dare you bring that up?!"
Liu Erlong seemed to have been hit where it hurt by those words. Her eyebrows shot up, and she pointed at his nose, cursing, "When you first met me, you also used your fists to settle things! You almost tore my place down along with half my life!"
Chapter 271 A Serious Massage? Xuan Hao: Long'er, roll over and lie face down.
……
Seeing that Liu Erlong's previously dejected appearance had finally dissipated a lot after arguing with him, and she had regained some of her former tigress-like vitality, Xuan Hao smiled and smoothly brought the topic back.
"Alright, enough joking around. You seem to be in better spirits, let's get down to business." Xuan Hao leaned closer, looking directly into her eyes. "What's wrong? Didn't you say you had something to tell me a few days ago? What is it?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's hard-won composure instantly crumbled. She guiltily turned her head away, not daring to meet Xuan Hao's gaze.
How could she possibly bring herself to say it?
When she first returned from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, all she could think about was cutting things off quickly and making sure Xuan Hao stopped getting involved in those messy, ambiguous relationships with her. After all, she was getting on in years, and it would be too damaging for him to let that get out.
However... after last night's relentless bombardment of Flander's unscrupulous yet extremely brainwashing "taking advantage" theory, Liu Erlong sadly realized that he truly couldn't bring himself to say those resolute words now.
Not only could she not say it, but subconsciously she was even somewhat reluctant to part with this jerk who always infuriated her, yet always managed to protect her at crucial moments.
Seeing Liu Erlong blushing, biting her lip, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't, and so conflicted that she was almost in a knot, Xuan Hao understood that it would probably be a long time before this proud woman took the initiative to speak.
So, he decided to go all the way and suddenly stretched out his arms, grabbed Liu Erlong around the waist in a very domineering manner, and strode into the house.
"Ah! What...what are you doing?!"
Liu Erlong was suddenly suspended in mid-air, and panicked. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
Surprisingly, this powerful Soul Saint didn't instinctively use his soul power or brute force to resist. Instead, he looked at him anxiously and guiltily, like a little girl caught red-handed: "Put me down! What are you going to do?"
"Guess?" Xuan Hao's lips curled into a wicked smile as he walked to the bedside and unceremoniously tossed her onto the soft, large bed.
Liu Erlong felt uneasy at this action. She hurriedly shrank further into the bed and stammered a warning, "You...you'd better not do anything rash! Let me tell you, Ning Rongrong and the others are all at the academy, they could come over at any time! If you dare..."
What can I possibly do wrong?
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow, interrupting her. He then patted the mattress and said in an extremely serious tone, like an old Chinese medicine doctor instructing a patient, "Turn over and lie face down."
As he spoke, Xuan Hao magically produced a small bottle of amber liquid from his soul tool.
Liu Erlong stared warily at the delicate little bottle: "What is this? Poison or a sleeping potion?"
"Can't you think of anything healthy?" Xuan Hao rolled his eyes speechlessly. "This is a special massage oil that I personally brewed and refined using various top-quality medicinal herbs and a little bit of water of life. It relaxes muscles and improves blood circulation, eliminates fatigue, and is also extremely effective for skin care. Just lie down and relax. Don't worry, I just see you're too tense and am giving you a massage. I won't do anything inappropriate."
Liu Erlong looked at him with some doubt, but she couldn't resist the inexplicable sense of obedience in her heart. She slowly turned over and lay stiffly on the bed.
However, as soon as she lay down, she felt a chill on her back.
Xuan Hao merely flicked his fingertips lightly, without using much force, and her already thin black silk nightgown was neatly torn open from the middle of her back, revealing a large expanse of smooth, delicate, and healthy-looking back.
"You bastard! What do you think you're doing?!"
Liu Erlong was stunned. Her mind went blank. She was filled with shame and indignation and instinctively tried to get up and fight back.
But Xuan Hao was faster. He firmly pressed one hand on her rounded shoulder, pushing her back onto the bed, and said calmly, "What's the panic? I already said I won't do anything reckless. If I really wanted to do something shameless, why would I go through all that trouble to fool you with some essential oil? Wouldn't it be more in line with my 'mischievous devil' style to just take action?"
"Relax." Xuan Hao's voice deepened. "This is proper medical massage. I used to massage Tang Yuehua of Yuexuan like this often. I cured her cervical spondylosis, and she even praised my professional technique."
"You did this kind of thing to Tang Yuehua?!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong felt a surge of bitter resentment and shame. That woman was a renowned noblewoman of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and this bastard had even...
"What are you thinking! I already said it's a legitimate massage!"
Xuan Hao was utterly impressed by this woman's imagination. Without further ado, he poured some essential oil into his palms to warm it, then placed his hands steadily on Liu Erlong's back and gently pushed them away.
The warm essential oil slid down her fingertips across her skin. Liu Erlong was extremely nervous at this moment, her muscles were as stiff as a rock, and she didn't even dare to breathe heavily, for fear that Xuan Hao would take the opportunity to do something outrageous.
Xuan Hao sensed her stiffness and refrained from further teasing. He held his breath and focused his attention, applying pressure with his fingers and the base of his palms, rhythmically massaging and pressing along the meridians of her back. At the same time, he meticulously controlled a wisp of his own vital energy, silently seeping it into the depths of Liu Erlong's taut muscles through his palms.
Under the lubrication of the warm essential oil and the slight stimulation of that strange energy, Liu Erlong gradually felt that the muscles in his back that had been knotted up due to days of anxiety and fatigue were actually melting away little by little.
An indescribable feeling of comfort spread throughout her body like an electric current, causing her to relax involuntarily and let out a very subtle sigh of comfort.
"You...you really know how to do this?" Liu Erlong buried her face in the pillow, blushing as she muttered softly.
"Of course, I've been practicing this skill for several years."
While pressing, Xuan Hao casually said, "I started practicing with Tang Yuehua when I was ten years old. I was just a little kid back then, and since this is a legitimate blood circulation massage, she served as my 'human model' for quite a long time."
Xuan Hao seemed to remember something, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips: "Actually, Rongrong, Xiaowu and the others have also experienced it. However... the version they experienced was much more comprehensive than Tang Yuehua's."
Liu Erlong was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "How comprehensive?"
"If you're interested, I can give you a full demonstration right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Hao's hands, which had been resting on Liu Erlong's lower back, did not retract as before, but instead continued to slowly slide down along the smooth curve.
Liu Erlong's body tensed instantly, her heart pounding like a drum, and her brain sounded the alarm once more. Was this bastard really going to reveal his true colors after all?!
However, to her surprise, Xuan Hao did not use any of the obviously provocative touches. His hands maintained that professional and steady massage force, slowly sliding down her shapely thighs and calves, finally reaching her ankles and toes.
Then he changed his technique, starting from the toes and pushing upwards along the meridians, slowly and meticulously returning to the shoulders.
After several full pushes back and forth, Liu Erlong felt his whole body getting warm, his blood and qi flowing smoothly, and he felt so comfortable that he almost melted into the bed. All his guard and defenses crumbled in this extreme relaxation.
But... no matter how professional or proper the technique was, the moment Xuan Hao's palm slid across her buttocks, the extremely unfamiliar and shameful feeling still made Liu Erlong's heart pound like a deer, and her cheeks burn incredibly hot.
Chapter 272 The First Half of the Strategy for Conquering the Mother Tyrannosaurus: Ah Yin, This is Called Professionalism!
……
"How was it? My technique was perfectly legitimate, wasn't it?" Xuan Hao teased as he finished, "Don't always think of me as so filthy."
Liu Erlong blushed, took a breath, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and ask, "When you massaged Tang Yuehua, did you massage all the way down to her feet like this?"
"What on earth are you thinking?" Xuan Hao patted her shoulder speechlessly. "I was only ten years old at the time! And Tang Yuehua was such an arrogant woman. At most, I would just massage her back, legs, and feet. How could I possibly have had the chance to touch her there?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong felt even more ashamed and indignant: "Then why... why did you press that spot on me too?!"
"Didn't I just say that?" Xuan Hao spread his hands confidently, with a shameless and self-righteous look on his face. "I'm upgrading your service so you can fully experience Ning Rongrong and the others' 'full-service' massage package."
Xuan Hao looked at Liu Erlong's profile, which was almost dripping with blood, and leaned close to her ear with a wicked smile, adding in a low voice, "Besides, this is only the first half. However... if we go to the second half, with your thin skin right now, I guess you'll definitely refuse to agree no matter what."
Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment, his mind still reeling, and blurted out, "What do you mean? What's this 'second half'?"
"It's very simple."
Xuan Hao pointed to the bed and uttered two words very naturally: "It's just... turning over."
