……
As night fell, Wuhun City gradually returned to tranquility.
The conclusion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament signifies a temporary end to the open and covert struggles among various forces.
Xuan Hao and his group returned to the spacious rest area specially arranged by the Spirit Hall.
As for the trip back to Tiandou City, it's scheduled for tomorrow morning.
In the living room, Xiao Wu seemed to have calmed down considerably.
After all, Xuan Hao had previously made a subtle promise to everyone that once the Soul Master Competition was completely over, he would officially take that "final step" with Dugu Yan.
Although Xiao Wu is usually carefree and easygoing, she is actually very sensitive and thoughtful.
She knew that if she lingered in Xuan Hao's arms at this moment because of her personal feelings, it would inevitably ruin the atmosphere that everyone had been looking forward to, and it wouldn't have a good impact.
Seeing Xiao Wu's forced smile but with a hint of loneliness hidden in her eyes, Na'er, as the "Grand Steward," immediately understood.
She stepped forward, took Xiaowu's hand, and very considerately led her into her room, gently coaxing her away.
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling exchanged a knowing glance, yawned, and made excuses to go back to their rooms to rest, leaving the quiet space to Xuan Hao and Dugu Yan.
……
The lighting in Xuan Hao's room was soft and ambiguous.
Dugu Yan, dressed in a form-fitting purple silk nightgown, straddled Xuan Hao's lap without any hesitation. Her signature long, flowing purple hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, exuding a faint fragrance.
Although their posture was intimate, a hint of worry appeared in Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes: "Xiao Wu... is she really alright?"
Xuan Hao reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, gently squeezing it as he soothed her in a soft voice, "Don't worry, she's really fine. She's just feeling a little sad because of the scenery. With Na'er, that little busybody, there to comfort her, she'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Dugu Yan looked at him strangely, her tone hesitant: "Actually... I think if she's really upset, we don't necessarily have to rush things. Otherwise, she's crying alone in the next room while we're doing this kind of fun here... it just feels like too much."
Looking at this "Poison Douluo granddaughter" who is ruthless and vicious on the stage, but cares so much about her sisters in private, Xuan Hao couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"You're overthinking it." Xuan Hao reached out and tucked a stray strand of her purple hair behind her ear. "Xiao Wu knew that tonight was important to you, and she was afraid that if she kept crying in my arms, it would affect your mood when you came to see me. That's why she asked Na'er to take her out. That girl is very sensible."
"However, Yan Yan, if you feel uncomfortable or guilty right now, we are not in a hurry."
"Anyway, once we get back to Tiandou City tomorrow and onto our own territory, it'll be the same. We don't mind waiting a few more days."
Xuanhao gently stroked her back with his fingers. "Besides, we have to set off early tomorrow morning, and the journey will be quite bumpy. If I really go all out and exhaust you tonight, given my stamina and your physical condition, you probably won't even be able to sit still in the carriage tomorrow. That would be too much for you."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but recall Qian Renxue's previous weak and unsteady appearance, and her expression immediately became somewhat unnatural.
She took a deep breath and went along with it: "Hmm...you make a good point. Let's talk about it when we get back to Tiandou City. I'll let you off the hook tonight."
Although she had made her decision, Dugu Yan's gossip-loving spirit hadn't been extinguished. She leaned closer to Xuan Hao and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened to Xiao Wu? How come she, who was usually so carefree and easygoing, suddenly became like that after coming to Wuhun City?"
"Actually, ever since the finals started, I've felt that her emotions have been off, and she's been very tense. I asked her about it several times in private, but she absolutely refused to say anything and just kept shaking her head."
Xuan Hao paused slightly as he stroked her back, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
“This matter… involves some of her past experiences, and the situation is a bit complicated.” Xuan Hao sighed. “Don’t ask too many questions. When the time is right, I will tell you everything.”
Seeing that Xuan Hao didn't want to say more, Dugu Yan sensibly didn't press him further.
“Alright, since we’re not going to do ‘that’ tonight…” Xuan Hao patted her thigh and suggested, “Let’s go find Xiao Wu and Na’er now. Aren’t you always worried about her?”
Dugu Yan looked at Xuan Hao with a strange expression, her beautiful eyes suspiciously scrutinizing him from head to toe: "Going to their room in the middle of the night? You wouldn't be... thinking of taking advantage of the fact that we're all here to play your shameless little games with her to distract her, would you?"
Xuan Hao's eyes twitched violently twice, and he looked at this woman with a black line on his forehead: "What are you thinking?! When she's feeling down and sad, I'm going to go and play those embarrassing little games with her? Am I crazy? How perverted do I have to be?!"
Xuan Hao pinched her cheek in an annoyed tone and gently tugged at it: "Isn't it because you've been worried about her that I suggested going to check on her?"
"Ouch, that hurts! I know, I know, let go!"
Dugu Yan slapped his hand away and rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks.
Xuan Hao stood up, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her bright red lips deeply, laughing, "Let's go, you heartless young lady."
Dugu Yan blushed slightly from his kiss, nodded obediently, and stood up.
Just as he was about to leave, Dugu Yan suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at him strangely: "Wait, what about His Highness the Crown Prince... Aren't you going to see her tonight? You two should at least..."
While straightening his clothes, Xuan Hao complained helplessly, "Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about my stamina? What do you think I've been doing every night for the past two weeks while you guys have been fighting so hard in the ring?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan gasped, looking at Xuan Hao as if he were a monster: "No way? Her... her body, which is still in its infancy, can withstand half a month of torment from a beast like you?!"
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow. "Do you think the legendary six-winged angel martial soul's powerful physical attributes are just a joke to you guys?"
"Although Qian Renxue is not as good as me in terms of self-recovery, she can still hold on for the night's fierce battle."
At this point, Xuan Hao's expression became somewhat complicated, even revealing a hint of lingering fear: "But I really didn't expect that once that woman let her guard down, she would be so crazy at heart!"
Xuan Hao rubbed his temples and sighed, "For the past two weeks, she's been like a tireless enchantress, staying up with me every night until dawn. If I weren't so fertile, I probably would have been completely drained by her long ago."
Chapter 405 The eldest sister gently protects the young, comforting the lonely dancer in the dead of night.
……
"Isn't it?"
Dugu Yan looked Xuan Hao up and down, her eyes filled with disbelief. "With your physique and strength, you still can't control her? Even if she's crazy, can she really turn the world upside down?"
Xuan Hao sighed helplessly: "I can control her, of course I can. But the problem is, if I force her to be controlled, she will be unhappy and feel that I am too domineering and do not give her face. You all know how strong a woman's pride is. There is no other way. For the sake of this hard-won harmony, I can only give in to her more in bed."
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and retorted irritably, "Isn't that what you spoiled him with? You got what you deserved."
"He brought this on himself?"
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow, a dangerous smile curving his lips. He suddenly reached out and pulled Dugu Yan's slender waist tighter, whispering close to her earlobe, "Alright, then when we get back to Tiandou City, I'm going to make up for all the embarrassment I've suffered these past two weeks."
Sensing the intense, aggressive aura emanating from Xuan Hao, Dugu Yan's cheeks flushed instantly. But her inherent pride remained undiminished; she forced a glare back, stubbornly declaring, "Hmph! We'll see who gives in first and begs for mercy!"
"Oh? Then we'll wait and see."
Xuan Hao chuckled, took Dugu Yan's hand, turned and walked out of the room, heading down the corridor towards Na'er's room.
……
"Dong dong dong."
Xuan Hao knocked lightly on the door, then pushed it open and entered.
In the spacious room, Xiao Wu was hugging her knees, like a wronged little animal, quietly leaning against Na'er's legs.
Na'er gently stroked her long hair and soothed her with soft words.
Hearing the door open, the two of them simultaneously looked up in confusion.
“Brother?” Na’er looked at him in surprise. “Shouldn’t you be…”
Xuan Hao stepped aside, making way for Dugu Yan who was following behind him.
"She came too."
Xuan Hao pointed at Dugu Yan and explained helplessly, "Yan Yan thinks that with you looking so absent-minded right now, it would be a bit too much and unbrotherly for us to go off and have sex in the next room without any guilt. So, she decided to postpone it until you're in a better mood."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's expression became incredibly complex, her eyes filled with gratitude and guilt. She bit her lip and murmured softly, "I...I'm really fine, you don't need to worry about me..."
"Alright, stop forcing a smile here."
Dugu Yan stepped forward and sat down next to Xiao Wu without any hesitation. She stretched out her fair fingers and gently pinched Xiao Wu's somewhat pale cheek, then sighed and said:
“If you were really alright, with your old personality, even if you threw a tantrum, I would definitely ignore everything and get things done with him first, and solidify our relationship. But look at you now, you're so dejected. Is this still the same fearless, crazy rabbit who dared to bite even Xuan Hao?”
Dugu Yan patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, her tone unusually gentle: "We're all good sisters, it's not like we'll never have a future together after today. Do you think I'd have the interest to do that kind of thing with him while I see you here so sad and upset? I just can't bring myself to do it."
Hearing Dugu Yan's straightforward yet warm words, Xiao Wu's eyes reddened again, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh dear, don't cry, don't cry."
Dugu Yan hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes for her. "If something's bothering you, just tell us. We've all lived under the same roof for so long. Haven't we all seen how shameful and embarrassing it is when you're in bed with this bastard doing those shameless little games? What else could you possibly be worried about?"
Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed slightly. Dugu Yan's interruption eased her sadness considerably. But she still gritted her teeth and shook her head gently when it came to the Spirit Hall: "Sister Yan, I'm really fine now, it's just... I miss my mother."
Seeing that Xiao Wu was unwilling to say more, Dugu Yan sighed helplessly and did not press the matter further.
"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. But tonight, I definitely'm not in the mood for 'that' with him. Let him owe me that favor for a few more days."
Just then.
A soft footstep sound came from the corridor.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling, three girls, wearing silk nightgowns, peeked cautiously towards the door.
Seeing Xuan Hao standing like a guardian deity in Na'er's room, the three girls were immediately filled with confusion: "Xuan Hao? What are you still here for? Shouldn't you be with Yan Yan..."
Xuan Hao didn't speak, but helplessly pointed into the room.
Ning Rongrong and the other two looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Dugu Yan sitting by the bed comforting Xiao Wu. They immediately guessed what was going on.
In this small circle of six girls, Na'er is the absolute "official" and head housekeeper, while the oldest, Dugu Yan, always considers herself the eldest sister and takes good care of everyone in daily life.
Seeing Xiao Wu's dejected appearance, this seemingly ruthless granddaughter of the Poison Douluo naturally had no interest in seeking pleasure.
Xuan Hao looked at the three girls crowding at the door, stepped aside slightly, and suggested, "If you want to go in and comfort her, then go in. You can sleep here tonight and keep her company. I won't go in."
"Why?" Ning Rongrong blinked in confusion.
Xuan Hao touched his nose and explained in a serious tone, "In this kind of occasion, with everyone present, if I, the only man, were also there, I feel that what was originally a warm and touching sisterly bond could easily unknowingly evolve into some kind of sticky, unspeakable, perverted scene."
Upon hearing Xuan Hao's extremely blunt and shameless analysis, Ning Rongrong looked strange. She opened her mouth to refute him, but found herself speechless.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling blushed and silently lowered their heads, indicating their agreement.
Because what Xuan Hao said... was indeed the truth!
There have definitely been precedents for this kind of "inviting a wolf into the house" within this small group!
However, the main character in the previous story was not Xiao Wu, but Ning Rongrong herself, or the usually aloof and taciturn Zhu Zhuqing.
Sometimes when they are in a bad mood because of their spiritual practice or external matters, everyone gets together to comfort them.
At this moment, Na'er, as the "team spirit," might pull Xuan Hao over to liven things up as well...
Then the situation would be completely out of control!
Once everyone had finished comforting them with gentle words, and the girls relaxed, coupled with Xuan Hao's seemingly magical physical contact and teasing, what was originally a warm and comforting gathering would instantly transform into a chaotic brawl that would make everyone blush and have no limits!
"At least you have some self-awareness." Ning Rongrong blushed and glared at him, then pulled Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling into the room, slamming the door shut on Xuan Hao.
