In the hazy mist, the figure of Jiang Nannan was faintly visible; she appeared to be bathing.
The young girl's movements were gentle, and one could vaguely see her lifting her hand to brush back her wet hair.
Moonlight spilled through a hole in the roof, adding a soft halo to the suggestive scene.
That alluring physique, those shapely curves...
Some sights were originally blurred, but the moonlight shone directly through the house, illuminating them.
"Ah!"
Jiang Nannan suddenly let out a cry of surprise, seemingly having sensed the presence of Huo Yuhao, and turned around instinctively.
Huo Yuhao stumbled backward, his heart in a state of panic.
Jiang Nannan hurriedly grabbed her clothes to cover herself, her voice filled with a hint of indignation: "Who is it?!"
"Uh, it's nothing, it's me. I was just passing by. Sorry, I'm leaving."
Huo Yuhao dared not linger, turning and rushing out the door, his heart pounding violently and his ears burning hot.
"Yuhao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wu's voice came from not far away, filled with concern.
At this moment, Xiao Wu's own soul power had reached level 17.
After all, she and Huo Yuhao had consumed the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid together, taken the Mystic Water Pill together, and cultivated together for three months.
Of course, this was still with Xiao Wu intentionally suppressing her progress to solidify her foundation.
Without using any cheats, Xiao Wu's natural talent was stronger than Huo Yuhao's.
The reason was simple.
Xiao Wu had Innate Full Soul Power.
Huo Yuhao had level one Innate Soul Power.
Huo Yuhao managed to squeeze out a smile: "It's nothing... just a bit tired."
Having said that, Huo Yuhao waved his hand and left directly.
Xiao Wu was a bit confused, but she continued walking toward the woodshed used for bathing.
Not long after, Huo Yuhao had arrived at the courtyard from before.
He sat cross-legged to calm his mind.
Yet, the scene from just a moment ago kept replaying in his mind, the girl's blurred figure refusing to fade away.
Meanwhile, in that small room.
An incense stick of time later.
"Nannan, Yuhao didn't mean it. Both he and I took that pill, so we had some foul odors on our bodies, which is why he came over to wash up."
Xiao Wu explained to Jiang Nannan.
After Xiao Wu arrived, it didn't take long for her to understand what had happened.
Jiang Nannan nodded shyly: "Mm, I know. I don't blame him."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu thought for a moment and probed: "Nannan, what do you think of Yuhao?"
Jiang Nannan thought about it and nodded: "He's very good."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu continued: "Why don't you become Yuhao's woman too?"
Jiang Nannan was startled; Xiao Wu's words left her unable to react for a moment.
"Xiao Wu, why would you say something like that?"
As Jiang Nannan spoke, she felt strange inside; she didn't actually feel any aversion toward Huo Yuhao.
Furthermore, she had a secret in her heart: previously, when she was changing her sanitary pad, she had let Huo Yuhao see everything clearly.
Ever since then, her heart would beat uncontrollably whenever she thought of him.
She had even had a dream about him a while ago that made her feel incredibly shy.
But Jiang Nannan also knew that some things shouldn't be dwelled upon.
After all, she could see that Xiao Wu and Huo Yuhao were a couple.
And now that Xiao Wu had said such a thing, she couldn't help but feel surprised.
Xiao Wu said as if it were only natural: "Why not? Powerful men have many women. Just like the Soft Bone Rabbit tribe, a strong Soft Bone Rabbit naturally has many female rabbits. This is heritage; it's very normal."
As Xiao Wu spoke, she couldn't help but think of some of the habits of rabbits.
Although Xiao Wu didn't have many memories, she still retained some of the inherent memories of a Soft Bone Rabbit—excluding Da Ming and Er Ming, of course.
A strong rabbit would have dozens or even more rabbits.
Those female rabbits would line up, waiting for the male Soft Bone Rabbit to visit them.
This was a heritage, and even more so, a means to expand their species.
Therefore, Xiao Wu naturally regarded Huo Yuhao as that rabbit who could visit her at any time.
This was the difference in mindset between spirit beasts and humans.
Jiang Nannan subconsciously retorted, "But humans are not spirit beasts."
Xiao Wu also countered, "But some men have three wives and four concubines."
Jiang Nannan was instantly rendered speechless.
Xiao Wu giggled at this moment, "How about it? Have you thought it over? Don't tell me you have no feelings for Yuhao."
Hearing this, Jiang Nannan's cheeks flushed red once again. She said nothing, her heart fluttering in panic.
She gently stroked her slightly reddened cheeks, thinking of the beautiful scenery from earlier, after being thoroughly seen through by Huo Yuhao.
She could still feel that heart-accelerating throb...
Just like that, Jiang Nannan calmed down with somewhat chaotic thoughts.
And at this moment, Xiao Wu stripped down completely in front of Jiang Nannan and began to bathe...
Jiang Nannan slowly came back to her senses. Seeing Xiao Wu like this, her cheeks couldn't help but flush again. Fortunately, they were both girls, so she could still accept it.
Immediately after, the two women bathed together.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Huo Yuhao shook his head, finding that he couldn't forget those scenes no matter what, so he simply stopped dwelling on them.
Let everything take its course.
He drew a bucket of cold water from the nearby well and quickly poured it over his head, taking a cold shower, before heading straight to bed to rest.
Not long after, while Huo Yuhao was drifting between sleep and wakefulness, he suddenly felt a wave of softness surge into his arms.
Huo Yuhao took a brief sniff of the scent; it was Xiao Wu's scent. He didn't think much more of it, treating her like a rabbit pillow, and hugged her as he continued to sleep.
Soon, it was the next morning.
After Huo Yuhao had a simple meal and arranged the division of labor for everyone, he headed to the academy with Xiao Wu.
Watching Huo Yuhao, Jiang Nannan chose to leave early, perhaps because of the earlier scenes, her cheeks remaining bright red.
Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu walked into the academy wearing their white school uniforms.
Because of the commotion Huo Yuhao had caused the night before, many people had already remembered his name, and looks of surprise appeared in their eyes one after another.
But Huo Yuhao had no time to care about this; he was communicating with the system.
Huo Yuhao had just arrived at the academy.
Some list information appeared in his mind.
For example, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Xixi, and others were all good prospects that could be recruited into the Endless Fire Territory.
However, there were only these names, and their specific locations were marked as small navigation dots.
And they were just dots; he didn't know which dot belonged to which person.
Of course, there was one exception, and that was Jiang Nannan. After all, Jiang Nannan had already joined the Endless Fire Territory; in other words, she had been successfully conquered.
Here, Jiang Nannan's location was displayed, along with some basic information, such as a photo and her spirit power level.
As for the rewards for recruiting Ma Xiaotao and the others, the system had not yet triggered any missions, so the corresponding rewards could not be unlocked.
"Hey, system, you haven't triggered any missions for me yet. When will they come?"
Huo Yuhao asked directly.
[Ding, there are three states for triggering missions.]
[State 1: When the corresponding character appears in front of the host, the host can trigger a mission.]
[State 2: When the host actively approaches these specific characters in specific environments, they can trigger relative missions.]
[State 3: The system can randomly assign missions.]
