You Don't Want This Either?

"You thought you hid it well, didn't you, Miss Wang Dong?"

Huo Yuhao revealed a meaningful smile.

He directly grabbed Wang Dong's right hand, circulated his Soul Power, and sensed the compatibility between their martial souls.

At that moment, Wang Dong, whose hand was held tightly, had completely lost her ability to think. Her face was bright red, and she had turned into a steam engine as she muttered.

"You, how did you know about this? Impossible!"

"It's very simple."

A trace of teasing flashed through Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"Is it possible that the Light Goddess Butterfly, the most beautiful butterfly martial soul, can only appear on beautiful women when it manifests as a martial soul in humans?"

Come to think of it, it was rather strange. Wang Dong's two martial souls—the Light Goddess Butterfly exposed her gender, while the Clear Sky Hammer exposed her background. And she still went through all the trouble of disguising herself as a man?

It felt like farting after taking off your pants—completely unnecessary.

"I see."

Wang Dong lowered her head and murmured softly, "Then... do I need to move to the girls' dormitory?"

It was rather strange. The moment she heard Huo Yuhao's answer, that was the first outcome she thought of.

Yet Wang Dong's first feeling was not relief or excitement.

For some reason, a wave of sadness and loss rose within her.

Could it be that, in such a short time... she had gotten carried away?

No, no, no. Definitely not.

It was only because she had suffered her first loss in life that she had developed unnecessary emotions.

I only want to supervise this idiot's cultivation. If he thinks beating me once means he can slack off from now on, that would be far too disappointing...

Thinking this, Wang Dong raised her head, only to see amusement in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"What! Are you happy to hear that I'm moving out?"

Huo Yuhao released Wang Dong's right hand and helplessly shook his head.

"Do you really think the academy teachers couldn't see through it? Some of them are far more knowledgeable than I am. They could definitely tell what you really are."

Like the dorm supervisor downstairs watching the show—he had already identified your gender the moment you released your martial soul!

He simply chose not to expose it.

At the very least, Wang Yan, Yan Shaozhe, and Mu En definitely possessed that knowledge.

The latter two might even have known about Wang Dong's background.

As the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, it would not have been difficult for Wang Dong to completely conceal her origins. However, for her safety, the Clear Sky Sect had surely coordinated with the Shrek High-level.

Wang Dong lightly bit her lip and looked at Huo Yuhao, though no one knew what she was thinking.

After a moment, she finally asked in a deliberately casual tone, "So you came here specifically to expose my true gender?"

"Yes. No matter what, we're roommates now, and we may be living together day and night for years to come. We shouldn't hurt our relationship."

Huo Yuhao nodded. Looking at Wang Dong, he raised a finger and began counting.

"As for the rules you mentioned earlier: first, I'll tell you in advance before bringing anyone back to the dorm. Second, I don't snore. Third, we'll share responsibility for the dorm's cleanliness and take turns cleaning."

Wang Dong felt uncomfortable under his constant gaze, so she turned her head away. "Seeing how sincere you are, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

"There's one more thing. When I held your hand just now, did you feel anything?"

Hearing that, Wang Dong looked utterly confused and froze.

Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

"Wang Dong, didn't you feel it?"

Only after Huo Yuhao asked again did Wang Dong finally react.

What could I possibly feel? You idiot, Huo Yuhao!

It was just holding hands. What else were you trying to do?

Could it be that he wanted to catch a glimpse of my true appearance?

Wang Dong inexplicably felt shy. Her cheeks flushed faintly, and she hesitated.

"If it's you, then... it's not impossible..."

Huo Yuhao: ???

What did you think I was trying to do?

I'm a proper gentleman!

"I was asking whether you felt any signs of martial soul fusion. What were you thinking about just now, Wang Dong? Did your mind wander somewhere weird?"

The slightly teasing voice instantly shattered Wang Dong's fantasy.

Right now, she only wanted to punch that smug face.

"No. Goodbye. I'm going to cultivate!"

After firing off three consecutive refusals, Wang Dong turned her back on him, unwilling to reveal her flustered expression.

You damned bastard, is my true form really that unattractive?

I have the Light Goddess Butterfly. I'm a top-tier beautiful girl!

You were the one who said so, yet now you're denying it?

What kind of attitude was that?

Smiling, Huo Yuhao walked over to Wang Dong's bed. "Wang Dong, you don't want anyone else to discover that you're disguised as a man, do you?"

"If you want to protect that secret, then practice properly with me. Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Wang Dong answered with silence.

At that moment, she was both embarrassed and furious.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as agreement."

Wang Dong continued facing the wall in reflection, unwilling to pay him any attention.

Caught between hope and worry, she felt her right hand being held again. A gentle yet heavy warm current flowed from it, carrying a quality like All Rivers Run to the Sea.

When her aura came into contact with Huo Yuhao's, it actually stimulated the Soul Power within her body to circulate slowly, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

This, this was... a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

It felt... pretty good.

Achievement triggered!

Wang Dong'er

Relationship: Close Friend

Achievement Task: Bro, you smell so good

Huo Yuhao: 6

Looking at the next Achievement Task displayed before him, Huo Yuhao was speechless for a long time.

Leaving aside the fact that the Close Friend relationship had been achieved so easily.

Was this Achievement Task asking him to feed himself to a tiger and sell his looks?

No, sis.

Hadn't they known each other for less than a day? Was she seriously doing this?

Could this be God King Tang's true mental imprint?

That little rule about "not being allowed to use Soul Tools" had to be a cover for this instruction to "capture the Child of Destiny."

What a Sea God.

One in the open, one in the dark—the skill of secretly advancing his schemes was truly exceptional.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao finally recalled the great terror of being ruled by God King Tang.

Tang San: Hey, Child of Destiny, do you want this wife I'm giving you for free?

Huo Yuhao: If she didn't have your Divine Consciousness in her mind monitoring me in real time, of course I'd take her. Free is free.

A graceful lady is sought by gentlemen. Perfectly normal.

Besides, wasn't there a saying that disaster should not extend to one's family?

Tang San's actions should not be projected onto Wang Dong.

However, everything still needed to be approached gradually.

Wang Dong currently carried a key step in God King Tang's long-planned Ten Thousand Year Plan. It was better to remain cautious.

It wasn't that Huo Yuhao was being overly conspiratorial.

In the Original Work, Huo Yuhao had been drawn to Wang Dong'er. Because of the bond between them, he had been led around by the nose by God King Tang the entire time.

Especially in the Valley of Asking Love. Those so-called "trials" were nothing but torture, their purpose being to tame a loyal dog.

Invite him to dinner, execute him, then take him in as a dog.

God King Tang was truly a master of PUA.

Anyone with eyes could see that the real Wang Dong'er had already died in the Valley of Asking Love.

Qiu'er's later death was likewise inseparable from God King Tang's grand handiwork.

Tang Wutong, who appeared afterward, was merely a daddy's-girl puppet stitched together by Tang San from fragmented memories to restrain Huo Yuhao.

To seize the fortune of the Douluo Plane from Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er, and to claim Qiu'er's Emperor Auspicious Beast bloodline and Golden Dragon Spear, Tang San had truly stopped at nothing.

He did not hesitate to split his own daughter's divine soul apart, forcibly stitch it back together, and ultimately create Tang Wutong, that neither-here-nor-there patchwork monster. She could only serve as a dog chain to keep Huo Yuhao leashed.

Tang Wutong was just like that. Huo Yuhao only needed to bear the burden and press onward all the way to godhood, while Tang Wutong, as a decorative accessory and vase, had far more things to consider!

What? Tang San treated his daughter like that, and you want to ask for his wife's opinion?

Scabbard Xiao Wu: I have no objection.

The more one thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Fortunately, there was still time.

At this point, Wang Dong was still the normally developing Xiao Qi. She had merely lost her memories of the God Realm.

As for those blank six years, it was better not to have them.

Since things had come to this, it was time to eat first.

"Come on, let's eat. Stop sleeping."

Huo Yuhao exited his cultivation state, walked into the aisle to stretch his limbs, and casually patted Wang Dong, who was under the blanket.

The awakened Wang Dong looked utterly bewildered.

What happened?

How had she fallen asleep so soundly in bed?

This guy hadn't done something to her while she was asleep, had he?
