Toad Demon Is Still a Toad Demon

Feeling the Soul Power around her rise, Shui Bing'er had a thought and instinctively edged a little closer to Long Jie.

She cautiously moved a little nearer and discovered that the Soul Power became even more active. Her body's absorption of Soul Power directly rose by several levels.

Delighted, Shui Bing'er inexplicably moved a little closer to Long Jie. Sure enough, the Soul Power grew even more active.

Just like that, Shui Bing'er soon arrived in front of Long Jie. With only three inches between them, they could clearly hear each other's absorption.

Shui Bing'er was delighted. Maintaining that distance, she began cultivating. The Soul Power within her flowed throughout her body, passing through one Meridian after another before finally returning to her heart.

With Long Jie nearby, Shui Bing'er's cultivation was exceptionally fast today. She had originally needed several days to break through to level thirty-two, but now she showed signs of making a breakthrough.

It seemed as though she had reached a peak. Shui Bing'er wanted to break through, yet her Soul Power seemed insufficient for it. In the unseen darkness, some force seemed to tell her that as long as she moved a little closer to Long Jie, she could break through.

She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, tempted by Soul Power, she moved another fraction closer to Long Jie.

Then... she lost her balance and fell into Long Jie's arms. Her lovely face rested against his chest, and the powerful heartbeat beneath it instinctively made her blush.

She hurriedly tried to get up, but a large hand pressed her back down. Long Jie said firmly, "Break through first. Don't worry about this!"

Hearing that, Shui Bing'er's heart stirred. She suppressed her shyness and began drawing upon the Soul Power around her.

Leaning against Long Jie's chest, the Soul Power became incredibly active. Shui Bing'er paid no more attention to anything else and began cultivating. Terrifying Soul Power gathered around her, and immense power converged in an instant.

The restriction that had held back her Soul Power level finally broke at that moment!

In an instant, Soul Power scattered outward, and the terrifying force surged into Long Jie's body. Long Jie did not even furrow his brow and remained seated steadily.

"All right... thank you!" Shui Bing'er said shyly. Just as she was about to rise, she heard Long Jie speak again!

"Don't move!"

What? Shui Bing'er jumped in fright and hurriedly stopped moving. Thinking Long Jie was about to break through as well, she could only remain motionless against his chest.

She had been in the middle of breaking through just now, so she had not had time to feel embarrassed. Now that it was over, however, Shui Bing'er's face burned red, and she did not know what to do with herself.

But for Long Jie's breakthrough, she could only endure it.

She endured for half an hour, yet Long Jie did not show the slightest movement.

Shui Bing'er could not help feeling a little puzzled. Did a breakthrough take this long?

"Um... Long Jie, are you done?"

"Not yet!" Long Jie said. Shui Bing'er fell silent for another half hour before finally unable to hold back any longer.

"Does a breakthrough take this long?"

"Nope!"

"Then what are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to hold you!"

Shui Bing'er: ???

She shoved Long Jie away in one motion. Shui Bing'er was so angry that her face turned red. How could anyone be this excessive? Just to hug her once, he had made her maintain that position for so long?

"Hmph! You're too much!"

Long Jie smiled awkwardly. "Sorry! You're just too pretty. I couldn't help myself!"

Hearing that, Shui Bing'er's face reddened. She said softly, "Even so, you can't... that position was so uncomfortable! You could at least have changed positions..."

"What?"

"Nothing. I'm going to sleep!" Shui Bing'er was red with both anger and embarrassment. She turned around, faced away from Long Jie, and lay down on her side.

Long Jie merely smiled. What a cute girl. It would be such a waste not to tease such a cute girl.

With a thought, he forcefully pushed his bed over until it rested against Shui Bing'er's bed!

The noise startled Shui Bing'er. "What are you doing?"

Long Jie smiled and explained, "I just realized that when we cultivate together, it speeds things up a lot. So I thought we should put our beds together. That way, next time we cultivate, you won't fall into my arms because there's nowhere to sit!"

Nowhere to sit, so I fell into his arms? Was that why I...?

"Hmph! Do whatever you want, just don't touch me. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll throw you out tomorrow!"

Shui Bing'er warned him. Her adorably fierce expression made Long Jie unable to resist smiling!

"All right, trust me!"

Long Jie smiled. Though their beds had been pushed together, neither of them crossed the line.

They each slept on their own side!

The next day, early in the morning!

"Bing'er Jie, this is bad, this is bad! Wake up!"

Early that morning, Shui Yue'er rushed into Shui Bing'er's room. Without saying another word, she threw open the door and saw a shocking sight.

On the large double bed, a man and a woman were locked in a tight embrace, their blanket kicked completely away.

"You two..." Yue'er stared at the scene in disbelief. When had the two of them progressed this far?

Long Jie frowned in his sleep. After struggling a little, he finally opened his eyes. When he saw who stood before him, he could not help jumping in fright.

He remembered that they had slept separately last night. How had it turned into this? If they had not both still been dressed, Long Jie would have thought he had done something wrong.

He had had a dream last night. In it, he had been cultivating... and then they had ended up leaning together?

At that moment, Shui Yue'er also woke up. When she saw Long Jie, she was equally startled.

"How could you..." Shui Bing'er snapped angrily and raised her hand to slap him!

"Listen to my explanation!" Long Jie did not even have time to explain before he was slapped hard across the face.

After hitting him, Shui Bing'er hurriedly looked herself over. When she found that her clothes were still on, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and began recalling the previous night.

Last night... she had had a dream. In the dream, she had been cultivating, then felt the pull of some energy and kept moving closer to him...

So that energy had been Long Jie?

She hurriedly looked at Long Jie. His innocent expression confirmed her judgment. Just as she was about to apologize, Shui Yue'er finally could not hold back any longer and spoke again.

"Hey, hey, hey, listen to me! Why are you two sleeping together? Long Jie, did you bully my Older Sister?" The girl put her hands on her hips, looking ready to stand up for her sister.

Long Jie and Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance, both somewhat embarrassed. Long Jie's thoughts turned, and he hurriedly said, "Yue'er, didn't you say something bad happened just now? What exactly is going on?"

Shui Yue'er froze for a moment before remembering why she had come. She hurriedly shouted, "This is bad, this is bad! The Dean of Education has brought people and stormed in! She says she's going to strip Long Jie of his captain position!"

"What? The Dean of Education... who is that?" Long Jie asked in confusion. Did he know the Dean of Education?

"It's that Wang Yu I told you about yesterday!"

"Wang Yu? Who's that?" Long Jie had no impression of her at all. Just some insignificant person—how could he remember her?

Shui Bing'er glared at him helplessly. "That Toad Demon!"

"Oh, oh, oh, now I know who it is. The Toad Demon! You should've said so earlier. A Toad Demon is a Toad Demon—why call her Wang Yu? How was I supposed to remember?" Long Jie grumbled, earning another round of eye rolls from the two girls!
