Kadan's Dry Mouth

"What were you all doing out here in the middle of the night instead of resting?"

Just then, Zhao Wuji made his entrance.

Seven spirit rings circled his body, and the powerful aura of a Spirit Saint bore down like an overwhelming tide, making the teacher from Blue Sunshine Academy with the turtle Martial Soul break out in a cold sweat.

Under the pressure of Zhao Wuji, a Spirit Saint, no matter how justified Blue Sunshine Academy might have been, it became utterly meaningless.

Dai Mubai sneered at the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher, muttered, "Old turtle," under his breath, and headed upstairs.

Ma Hongjun likewise threw out a mocking remark.

Tang San smiled and went upstairs with Dai Mubai.

Zhu Zhuqing watched silently throughout. After the crowd dispersed, she saw the people from Blue Sunshine Academy glare at Zhao Wuji, furious yet afraid to speak. She came to understand one thing: strength was what mattered most.

With strength, even being unreasonable could become reasonable.

Or rather, strength itself was reason.

With this realization, Zhu Zhuqing continued cultivating without pause after returning to her room.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in Suotuo City.

After cultivating for an entire day and night, Gu Ye sensed that his Soul Power had reached level forty-eight. He stopped and walked out of the Medical Hall.

He had promised Kadan that he would go to Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena. He had missed it last night because of cultivation, so it would not be good to refuse again tonight.

He then headed toward Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena.

Before long, he arrived outside the arena.

In the VIP room on the top floor of Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena, Kadan was listening to a female guard report on the arena's income.

This guard was no ordinary female guard. She was another Spirit Saint powerhouse of Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena, as well as Kadan's personal bodyguard—Yan Xi, a level seventy-five Spirit Saint.

"Madam, Physician Gu has arrived," a guard outside the door reported just then.

Upon hearing that Gu Ye had arrived, Madam Kadan's face lit up with delight. "Bring Physician Gu up here. Tell him I have something important to discuss with him."

"Yes."

The guard outside replied and left.

Delighted, Kadan hurriedly had Yan Xi leave the room. Then she returned to her room to tidy up her appearance, not forgetting to put on a light layer of makeup.

Gu Ye had originally intended to go to the Treatment Room when he arrived at the Great Spirit Arena, but a guard hurried over and told him that Kadan was looking for him.

Left with no choice, Gu Ye could only go see her first.

When Gu Ye arrived at the room on the arena's top floor and stepped inside, before he could clearly make out anything in the room, something covered his entire face, plunging his vision into darkness.

Immediately afterward, he heard a heavy bang as the door slammed shut.

A minute later, Gu Ye's vision finally returned.

When he saw Kadan hugging him, he understood that his face had been buried in her chest just now, which was why everything before his eyes had gone dark.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Ye asked, touching Kadan's forehead.

Kadan bit her thin lower lip and looked at Gu Ye shyly, every bit the charming mature woman.

"My mouth is a little... dry," she whispered softly.

Hearing those seductive words, Gu Ye very much wanted to ask, Which mouth?

Then he looked at Kadan's soft, full lips, and his heart stirred.

A gorgeous mature woman like Kadan, who knew so well how to tempt others, was truly difficult for Gu Ye to resist.

But when he remembered why he had come here, as well as the fact that this was the Great Spirit Arena and not an appropriate place for such things, Gu Ye quickly calmed himself.

Gu Ye gently stroked Kadan's thin lips and said, "When I have time, I'll treat you again, all right?"

"No. I want it now." Kadan looked at Gu Ye insistently.

The expression on her face said it all. If Gu Ye did not agree, she would keep holding him and refuse to let go.

Gu Ye felt rather helpless at the sight.

Seeing that the door was tightly shut, then looking at Kadan's beautiful, expectant eyes fixed on him, he ultimately persuaded himself to first help moisten her lips.

Gu Ye then placed a hand on Kadan's alluring face, gave her thin little lips a peck, and pulled away.

"All right. I still have something to discuss with you."

Yet Kadan did not release Gu Ye. She continued gazing at him with those beautiful, expectant eyes.

Clearly, her mouth... was still very dry.

Gu Ye sighed inwardly, wrapped an arm around Kadan's slender waist, held her head, and deeply kissed her full lips.

After an unknown amount of time, Kadan's breathing grew slightly hurried, but she smiled in satisfaction.

"Kadan, you can't do this next time," Gu Ye said seriously as he looked at her. He was a physician, and it was normal for him to treat patients, but she could not keep making things difficult for him by asking him to treat all sorts of strange illnesses.

"Next time... we'll talk when it gets dry again." Kadan smiled. She was not some little girl; if she wanted something, she would say so plainly.

"Then we'll talk when it gets dry again." If they had not been at Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena, where the setting was inappropriate, Gu Ye would definitely have given this beautiful mature woman Kadan a thorough treatment.

Until she was utterly exhausted in both body and mind.

After Kadan released Gu Ye from her embrace, she took him to sit down nearby and began telling him about a few things.

Thinking of Xue Hong, Gu Ye asked, "Do you know about Xue Hong's ambitious delusions?"

"Of course I do."

"And what do you think?" Gu Ye looked at Kadan meaningfully.

Kadan did not answer right away.

She and Xue Hong had entered a political marriage between royal families. Now that Xue Hong wanted to scheme for the throne of King Barak, if he succeeded, she would become queen. But if the matter were exposed, the prince of the Balak Kingdom would certainly not spare either her or Xue Hong.

Just like when Xue Hong had been assassinated two months ago.

But she herself held no feelings for Xue Hong. The one she liked was Gu Ye.

Looking at Gu Ye, Kadan wanted an answer from him.

Gu Ye had a good idea, but his strength was still insufficient. Not even a Soul King yet, he simply could not accomplish that kind of thing.

Yet he still wanted to give it a try.

"Kadan, do you want to be king?"

Gu Ye's words were astonishing.

Kadan looked at Gu Ye in surprise, unable to understand what he meant.

"Tell me first—do you still want to be with Xue Hong?" Gu Ye took Kadan's small hand and looked at her seriously.

Kadan shook her head. Then she buried her face in Gu Ye's chest and said, "Don't you know how I feel about you? Ever since I got together with you, both my body and heart have been yours."

Kadan spoke softly, but every word was utterly sincere.

Because she had truly fallen for Gu Ye.

The women of the Douluo world were very particular. Once they fell in love with a man, their bodies and hearts would be bound to him.

This could be seen from the love stories of the female leads in the original work.

After hearing Kadan's words, Gu Ye fell silent for a moment.

Before this, he had considered cutting ties with Kadan.

But Kadan's affection, along with her captivating charm, made it difficult for Gu Ye to convince himself to abandon such a beautiful mature woman.

"Kadan, if I could make you the ruler of the Balak Kingdom, would you want it?" Gu Ye looked at Kadan seriously.

"If you were the one making me ruler, then I would. But that's simply impossible. I'm only a woman—how could a woman possibly become the ruler of the Balak Kingdom?" Kadan said, shaking her head.

"Who said women can't be rulers? Don't you know that Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, is also a woman?"

"She is the Pope. I'm different."

"No. In my eyes, you are the same. As long as you want it, I have a way to place you on the throne of the Balak Kingdom." Gu Ye's eyes were filled with determination.

Kadan looked at Gu Ye. Seeing that he did not appear to be joking, she desperately wanted to know why he had such an idea.

Gu Ye had conceived this idea because of Xue Qinghe's arrival.

He knew Xue Qinghe's identity.

If Xue Hong, a half-useless noble who only knew how to indulge himself, could persuade Xue Qinghe to support him in becoming the ruler of the Balak Kingdom, then Gu Ye was equally confident that he could make Kadan Barak's first female ruler.

By then, once his strength reached the appropriate level, all he needed to do was silently kill Xue Hong and make further plans. Making Kadan the queen of the Balak Kingdom would not be a problem.
