Swimsuit.
Spaghetti-strap dress.
One was pure and noble, the other charmingly lively.
The semi-transparent black stockings became even more transparent after being soaked through, their mysterious blackness turning into a subtle, tantalizing allure that perfectly outlined the supple curves of their strong, toned calves.
"Pervert!"
"Creep!"
Flames rose from the Red Dragon Girl's body, evaporating the moisture and burning away the black stockings on her feet as well.
"Mm."
An Zhen nodded.
He admitted that what he had just done had indeed been a little... improper.
"An Zhen, your skin is really thick!"
"A tsundere beautiful girl stepping on my back with a look of disgust really is wonderful." An Zhen was merely speaking the truth.
The Golden-Haired Young Miss in a short white gauze dress sat on the sofa, her delicate bare feet soaking in milk. Resting her head on one hand, she watched An Zhen and Wu Feng's bickering with a smile until it finally ended with the Red Dragon Girl blushing furiously and lying in the girl's arms.
She really was comfortable to hold.
That was what An Zhen thought.
Naturally, An Zhen would not play favorites.
A delicate little foot, exquisite as a work of art, rested in the boy's hand. A few traces of milk still remained on its pale instep.
"Wu Feng, Ning Tian is a little unsteady standing on one foot."
"Mm!"
After giving An Zhen a fierce yet adorable glare, the Red Dragon Girl stood up, moved behind Ning Tian, and hugged her Young Master.
Back at the dormitory.
The food brimming with all sorts of energy left An Zhen feeling especially invigorated, as though he had nowhere to vent his excess energy. His senior sister had not been in the dorm during the day lately.
Cultivate, cultivate.
After receiving some guidance from Electrolux on the use of Spiritual Power, An Zhen's progress in the Who Wakes First from the Great Dream technique had soared. Although he still had not broken through the bottleneck of controlling both sides of his body at once, he could already control half his body with considerable freedom.
Some time later.
"Mm?"
In the Virtual World, An Zhen sat up from his bed and watched a little cutie furtively unlock his door with a key. After tiptoeing inside, she locked the door behind her.
Huo Yutong, her cheeks flushed, glanced at the figure lying on the bed before taking out the bundle in her arms. It was a blue dress, as though the azure sky and deep blue sea had been reflected upon it. An Zhen had bought it for three hundred Gold Soul Coins. The moment he saw it, he had thought it suited his Yutong perfectly.
Huo Yutong took off the academy's boys' uniform she wore and put on the dress over her still-youthful body. She looked as innocent as the girl next door, the perfect template for an adorable little sister.
"Wonderful."
An Zhen sighed.
His taste really was excellent.
Her pale, slender calves were clad in white socks. An enticing blush crept up from her neck to her cheeks as her fair little hand gently lifted a corner of the blanket. Huo Yutong tiptoed into the covers and carefully shifted her body closer.
Brother An Zhen...
Huo Yutong inhaled his familiar scent and gently rested her little head against An Zhen's chest.
"Ah!"
Huo Yutong cried out in surprise as a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around her. Her startled eyes met a pair of smiling ones.
"Brother An Zhen!"
"Did little Yutong come to warm my bed?"
"Mm—"
Before the girl could answer, An Zhen pressed his lips to hers.
Delicious.
"Brother~"
The girl's affection seemed ready to spill from her brilliant eyes like water. Her tempting cherry lips parted and closed as her body went soft against the bed.
An Zhen had no doubt that whatever he wanted to do now, Yutong would agree to it.
So...
"Get some rest."
An Zhen held the girl, pulled the blanket over them, and embraced his soft body pillow, which carried a sweet milky fragrance.
"Not a beast after all."
Within Huo Yutong's sea of consciousness, a golden-haired shut-in girl lazily turned over. Ever since that little gray ball had left, having just one bug living here made the place feel far roomier and more comfortable.
Still, just where had that brat come from? Even that little gray ball, which was not from this world, knew about his past.
Forget it. She would think about it after a nap.
The freshmen assessment continued.
Huo Yutong, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao's team advanced like a force of nature. Although Wang Dong's Soul Power had not reached the Soul Elder rank, Spiritual Probe Sharing had greatly enhanced her combat ability. With Xiao Xiao's control and support in the open, along with Huo Yutong's occasional Spiritual Shock, they could defeat even teams whose members were all above level twenty-five without using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, successfully advancing into the top four.
"Huang Chutian."
"Lan Susu."
"Lan Luoluo."
The semifinals of the top four.
The twin girls were delicate and lovely.
By rights, their cultivation could not have placed them among the top four teams of this cohort. However, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Heavenly Net, was practically an overwhelming advantage at this stage, worthy of being called the number one control ability among the first-years.
"Wu Feng, want to take this one?"
An Zhen looked toward the eager Red Dragon Girl.
If anything went wrong, he would step in as a safeguard.
"Of course!"
Wu Feng had barely gotten a chance to fight during this freshmen assessment, and her hands had long been itching.
"Then Ning Tian and I will support you."
Wu Feng stepped forward while An Zhen and Ning Tian stood behind her on either side.
"Looks like this is where our run ends."
A bitter smile appeared on Huang Chutian's face. He did not know why the other side had taken this formation. Shouldn't An Zhen, their main attacker, be standing in front? But no matter what, their defeat was already set in stone.
A four-ring Holy Light Dragon. The teachers had already told them how powerful this Martial Soul was. The Hell White Tiger's strength that day had been real enough, yet it had been shattered by a single punch from him.
"Begin!"
"Roar!"
Flaming dragon claws formed as two yellow soul rings lit up in succession. Blazing flames swirled around Wu Feng like a fire dragon hunting its prey, and she shot forward like an arrow released from the bow.
"Seven Treasures have their name: first, speed."
An exquisite little pagoda made of seven-colored glazed crystal appeared in Ning Tian's hand. Yellow and purple soul rings descended over the pagoda and lit up at the same time. "Seven Treasures have their name: third, strength."
A forty-percent increase in speed and strength. At this moment, even without counting her own two soul rings, Wu Feng was already comparable to a Three-Ring Soul Elder.
Amid everyone's astonished gazes, a white soul ring rose beneath An Zhen's feet. The boy's eyes transformed from a world that embraced all things into brilliant stars.
Spiritual Probe.
Spiritual Sharing.
An Zhen remembered that he was a support-type tool soul master.
The result came without any surprise.
Huang Chutian, the Herculean Ape, and the Lan sisters simply could not withstand Wu Feng after she received such terrifying enhancements.
"Team An Zhen wins!" the referee announced.
"You aren't using your Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
An Zhen was somewhat surprised.
"Boss, we're no match for you."
Huang Chutian looked helpless. "I want to see the result on the other side. I heard Dai Huabin hasn't been in a good state lately. If they lose, I'll see whether we can use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill to snatch third place from him."
Huang Chutian's last defeat had come at the hands of Huo Yutong's team. Even though he had later guessed that it was Huo Yutong who interrupted the Lan sisters' Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Huang Chutian did not think that, even with another try, he could break through Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's defenses and eliminate Huo Yutong first.
"Someone who has always been proud and undefeated will inevitably become deeply trapped after suddenly suffering a major setback."
An Zhen spoke casually. "However, I think your wish will come true."
Suddenly, two enormous waves of Soul Power erupted, making the students and teachers present instinctively look over.
Before you continue
