Especially her adorably tsundere expression always gave Wu Xing the urge to tease her.
Lying on the bed, Dugu Yan sensed the silence in the room. She slightly opened one eye and saw Wu Xing watching her with a smile.
In an instant, she was so frightened that she hurriedly shut her eyes again, like a startled little deer.
"Yanzi, being this nervous won't do. Even your little sister Ruo Xi isn't as timid as you." Wu Xing said with a chuckle.
Those words were the most effective at stirring Dugu Yan's competitive nature.
Sure enough, upon hearing Wu Xing's words, Dugu Yan instinctively opened her eyes. Though she was still panicking inside, she stared straight at him.
"Now that's the Yanzi in my family, fearless in the face of heaven and earth." Wu Xing said with a smile as he stroked Dugu Yan's short purple hair.
Dugu Yan's face reddened further. The courage she had painstakingly gathered was nearly shaken away by Wu Xing's teasing, and her eyes showed signs of closing again.
Wu Xing naturally would not let her close her eyes again. He reached out, pinched Dugu Yan's fair and smooth chin, and gently lifted her face.
Then he lowered his head and kissed her rosy little lips.
"Mm..."
Feeling the cool touch of his lips, Dugu Yan let out a soft moan. Her delicate nose caught Wu Xing's distinctive masculine scent, and her eyes gradually became unfocused.
Her soft little hands also wrapped around Wu Xing's neck as he gently kissed her, responding awkwardly.
After a long while, Wu Xing finally pulled away. Looking at Dugu Yan before him, panting, her face flushed and her eyes full of desire, a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He had learned last night that Dugu Yan was extremely sensitive. Now, just one kiss had already left her utterly dazed. If her arms were not still hooked around his neck, her snake-like soft body would probably have gone completely limp the next second.
He now understood why Xu Xian and Xiao Yan liked playing with snakes. Though Dugu Yan was human, her martial soul was the Jade Scale Snake Emperor. Under its influence, coupled with those bewitching snake-like eyes, she was not much different from a transformed snake.
Such a wonderfully boneless body could effortlessly stir up desire with the slightest twist. Who could withstand that?
At any rate, Wu Xing could not resist. He lowered his head again and kissed those red lips that still glistened faintly.
With his desire already aroused, he did not stop there this time. One hand supported her head while the other stroked her snow-white leg, lifting it slightly.
Dugu Yan, lost in a haze, was already completely guided by Wu Xing. Feeling the strength of that scorching hand on her thigh, her fair, slender leg bent slightly, accommodating his movements.
His hand moved all the way down until it reached her foot. Wu Xing applied a little force with his thumb and forefinger, and with a snap, removed Dugu Yan's blue high heel adorned with snake scales and tossed it aside.
After doing all that, Wu Xing repeated the process, removing the high heel from her other foot and tossing it beneath the bed. Only then did he slowly move upward along her thigh.
"Wu... Wu Xing." A trace of clarity flashed through Dugu Yan's dazed eyes, stopping Wu Xing before he could proceed further.
Wu Xing paused and gently said, "Call me husband."
"H-Husband." Dugu Yan responded shyly.
"What is it?" Wu Xing did not move, simply gazing at the lovely girl beneath him.
"I... I'm a little scared." Dugu Yan answered quietly, fear appearing in her desire-filled eyes.
Though she usually acted proud, carefree, and straightforward, she was still incomparably nervous when faced with giving away the most precious thing she possessed.
Moreover, she had heard that a woman's first time was often very painful, which made her even more frightened.
Seeing Dugu Yan's timid appearance, Wu Xing gently blew on her fair earlobe and softly said, "Yanzi, don't be afraid. Your husband will be very gentle."
"Mm..." Dugu Yan looked into Wu Xing's gentle eyes, and the fear in her heart settled somewhat. She softly answered, and her hands stopped blocking him.
Seeing Dugu Yan relax and her body no longer remain stiff, Wu Xing gently began guiding her into the journey of the night...
Boudoir
The next day.
The sun rose over the horizon, and sunlight streamed through the window into the room.
Wu Xing slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Dugu Yan nestled in his arms, her face still bearing traces of lingering afterglow, he could not help but smile as he recalled what had happened the night before.
He gently kissed her lovely cheek before carefully getting out of bed.
He had no intention of waking her. Though Dugu Yan's physical condition was much better than Su Ruoxi's due to her Soul Power, she still could not withstand his frenzied advances.
After washing up, Wu Xing looked once more at Dugu Yan on the bed. Seeing no sign that she was about to wake up, he finally left the room.
Judging by his previous experience with Su Ruoxi, she probably would not be able to get up before noon.
Leaving the room and the dormitory, Wu Xing followed the paths through the academy toward Ye Lingling's dormitory.
However, before he reached her dormitory, he saw her walking toward him.
When Ye Lingling saw Wu Xing, a blush appeared on her fair face. Then her eyes flickered slightly as she glanced behind him.
"No need to look. Yanzi hasn't woken up yet." Seeing Ye Lingling's little gesture, Wu Xing teased her.
"Ah?" Ye Lingling's heart trembled slightly. Her face reddened as she wondered what he meant.
Wu Xing smiled, took Ye Lingling's hand, and said, "She probably won't be able to get up until noon."
Upon hearing that, Ye Lingling became even more bashful, clearly understanding the meaning behind Wu Xing's words.
Still, she could not help overthinking it. Was her man really that formidable in that regard? He had actually left Sister Yanyan unable to get up?
"Have you eaten breakfast?" Unaware of Ye Lingling's thoughts, Wu Xing asked with concern.
"N-Not yet." Ye Lingling, who had been lost in random thoughts, froze briefly before replying.
"Let's eat together." Wu Xing held her gloved hand and was about to walk forward when he suddenly stopped. "Ling Ling, when there's no training from now on, don't wear gloves."
Though he quite liked Ye Lingling's silver gloves, they always made holding hands feel a little awkward.
"Mm... okay." Ye Lingling was somewhat surprised. She looked at the hand he held, then, without thinking much of it, removed her glove and stored it in her Soul Tool.
After she removed the glove, Wu Xing finally saw Ye Lingling's hand in its full glory. It was fair as snow, delicate and smooth, like a perfect work of art that made one want to hold it and cherish it.
After swallowing, Wu Xing silently praised it, then reached out and took her slender hand again.
As her hand was held once more, Ye Lingling clearly felt the warmth passing through it, making her already flushed cheeks redden even more.
However, though she was shy, she dared to act on her feelings. Perhaps that was simply her nature, different from ordinary people.
Hand in hand, the two looked like a perfect couple as they headed toward the cafeteria.
They encountered many students along the way. When those students saw them holding hands so intimately, they all revealed shocked expressions.
The news that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had joined the Second Team had spread the day before yesterday, but no one had thought of it in that way.
Only now did they understand that the goddess of their academy had been won over by Wu Xing.
Ye Lingling did not care in the slightest about the gazes from the many students. As she had said before, what did they have to do with her?
If Ye Lingling did not care, then Wu Xing cared even less. They could envy and resent him all they liked, as long as they did not provoke him.
Boys going through puberty were all like that. Fortunately, no one actually came looking for trouble.
As for the members of the First Team who could have come looking for him, they had all been convinced by Wu Xing's strength. The remaining students might be arrogant, but they were not fools.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Wu Xing had Ye Lingling find an empty seat while he went to the counter to get two breakfasts.
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all extremely abundant, and students did not need to pay for meals.
Even if they wanted to take food away, the kitchen ladies would pack it full for them.
"Eat." Wu Xing carried the trays over to Ye Lingling. After sitting down, he placed the other breakfast in front of her.
Ye Lingling smiled and nodded at him before elegantly beginning her meal.
Wu Xing did not say much. Compared to Ye Lingling's refined manner, he ate the food on his tray rather casually, like most boys.
After the two finished breakfast and left the cafeteria, it was still early. To avoid disturbing the sleeping Dugu Yan, Wu Xing did not return to his own dormitory. Instead, he discussed going to Ye Lingling's room with her.
Ye Lingling naturally did not object to Wu Xing's request. She was even a little delighted.
She led him to her dormitory and opened the door. As soon as Wu Xing entered, he could smell the fragrance of begonias in the air.
The room was neat and clean, and its furnishings were exceptionally pleasing to the eye. It resembled the boudoir of a refined young lady rather than an academy dormitory.
Ever since entering her room, Ye Lingling had been watching Wu Xing closely. When she saw that he did not seem to have any particular reaction, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, this was the first time she had brought a man into her room, and he was the man she liked. It would have been impossible not to feel nervous.
"Our Ling Ling's room really is beautiful." Wu Xing had naturally noticed Ye Lingling's thoughts, so he smiled and praised her.
"Husband, don't tease Ling Ling." Ye Lingling was a little embarrassed by the praise, but inwardly, she was overjoyed.
"I mean it." Wu Xing smiled and walked over to her bed. He sprawled carelessly across it, rolled around a few times, then continued, "And the bed is comfortable too. Your husband doesn't even want to get up."
Wu Xing's words made Ye Lingling blush. She softly said, "If Husband likes it, then... then stay here."
"Haha." Wu Xing laughed upon hearing that and sat up from the bed. "Your husband would like to, but we still have to decide by drawing lots. If I draw our Ling Ling's lot one day, then I'll stay here with you."
After saying that, even Wu Xing felt that he was being a little too shameless. He had barely finished with Dugu Yan and was already setting his sights on Ye Lingling.
"Mm." Ye Lingling nodded shyly.
Looking at the bashful Ye Lingling, Wu Xing felt his interest rise. He beckoned to her. "Ling Ling, come here. Let your husband hold you."
Ye Lingling froze slightly. Though she felt shy, she still generously walked over and sat in his arms.
She and Dugu Yan were complete opposites. One usually seemed carefree but became shy during intimacy, while the other usually appeared reserved yet was unexpectedly open during intimate moments.
Wu Xing wrapped his arms around Ye Lingling, rested his head on her shoulder, and pressed close to her lovely face. His hands occasionally played with her delicate little hand.
Faced with Wu Xing's behavior, Ye Lingling seemed somewhat nervous. To ease her embarrassment and appear more natural, she took the initiative to find a topic.
"Husband, when are you going to update the Diary?"
"There's no rush."
Wu Xing shook his head with a smile, then whispered into her ear, "I need to take a good look at our Ling Ling first."
Ye Lingling's body trembled slightly at those words. Her whole body went soft in Wu Xing's arms as she let her man's restless hands roam over her.
Continuing the Ranking
After teasing Ye Lingling for a while, Wu Xing finally opened the Diary panel at an unhurried pace.
Hello, beautiful ladies. We meet again. I wonder whether you missed me?
"That guy finally updated it!" As Wu Xing began writing, the beautiful women eagerly opened their respective Diary Instances.
They had been right at the exciting part yesterday when that guy abruptly cut it off. They had been suffering ever since.
"Yes, very much. I miss castrating you, you cliffhanger bastard!"
When they saw Wu Xing ask whether they had missed him, some of the women gritted their teeth in anger.
Haha, enough talk. Let's get started. We'll continue from yesterday's ranking.
The woman ranked fourth, like the one ranked seventh, was from Sea God Island. Her name was Bo Saixi.
Perhaps few people in the Douluo world knew her, but she was truly one of the three great Peerless Douluo and was known as invincible in the ocean.
As for what a Peerless Douluo was, it was the title given to those whose Soul Power had reached level 99.
In addition, her martial soul was the god-level Sea God martial soul. She was a human infinitely close to becoming a god.
"How is that possible!"
As Wu Xing began introducing the fourth female soul master, countless Diary holders across Douluo Continent were stunned.
Peerless Douluo, Soul Power Level 99, Sea God martial soul—every one of those terms stirred up towering waves in their hearts.
If they had still been able to remain relatively calm during yesterday's ranking, then the appearance of this female soul master named Bo Saixi made it impossible for anyone to stay composed. Not even Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were exceptions.
The Diary Owner had previously spoken of Holy Kaisha, the supreme giant Willow God, and the Ruthless Great Emperor, but those women belonged to other worlds and had nothing to do with Douluo Continent.
Bo Saixi, however, was from their world. The impact she brought was on an entirely different level.
The fourth-ranked female soul master was already this terrifying. How outrageous would the three women ahead of her be?
Bibi Dong in particular began to panic. She had originally thought she would be first in the Diary Owner's heart, but with Bo Saixi's appearance, she wondered whether she had even made the top ten.
But that should not be possible. Her Soul Power was currently level 97, at least higher than the soul masters ranked yesterday. Why had this woman, said to be invincible in the ocean and the human closest to godhood, already been mentioned while she had yet to appear?
Though Bibi Dong was proud and arrogant, comparing herself fairly to the Bo Saixi Wu Xing had described, she had to admit that she was completely outclassed.
When Qian Renxue saw Bo Saixi's introduction, her heart skipped slightly as well. In the end, had she failed to make Wu Xing's list of the ten strongest female soul masters?
After all, in her view, he had called that woman the human closest to godhood. The remaining three were likely already gods.
Bo Saixi was the high priestess of Sea God Island and had always lived in Sea God Hall. Her personality had two sides. She was usually gentle toward others, but whenever matters involving the Sea God were concerned, she became extremely stern. At her core, though, she was an exceptionally proud beauty.
