Tang Ya was happy that someone cared so much about her. Her phoenix eyes lowered bashfully as she stared at her thighs and asked hesitantly,
"Y-you already have Nannan, don't you?"
The chat history hadn't been deleted, so Tang Ya naturally knew about Chu Mo's agreement with Jiang Nannan. When she'd first found out, she'd been shocked. She hadn't expected that the person her best friend kept talking about was right beside her—and that he had such incredible abilities.
Tang Ya knew she couldn't compare to Jiang Nannan. After all, the title of the outer courtyard's number one beauty was entirely deserved.
Watching her struggle with the matter, Chu Mo froze for a moment, then thought of a line.
"You're both my wings."
"Huh?"
Tang Ya was stunned. She lifted her head, her beautiful phoenix eyes no longer hesitant as she stared straight at Chu Mo. Oh, so he wanted to be a player after all!
You could tell what kind of person he was from the Group Chat, but even after learning the truth, she still found it hard to believe. Someone so handsome and considerate could actually have this kind of flaw.
Nobody was perfect. Everyone had their flaws.
"Fine, I'll think about it."
Seeing how unabashed Chu Mo was, Tang Ya finally deflated. Forget it. It didn't matter, as long as she could get revenge.
"Don't look so glum. You'll be less pretty."
Chu Mo reached out and gently pinched her cheek. It felt soft and smooth, and it was warm to the touch. Very comfortable.
"Mmm~"
Tang Ya didn't resist. Instead, she enjoyed this intimate gesture, the kind only couples could share.
Just as the room fell quiet, a sudden cough came from beside them.
"Ahem~"
The two of them froze mid-action. Tang Ya had the biggest reaction: "(ºДº*)"
"Ah~"
How embarrassing! She dodged Chu Mo's hand, kicked off her shoes, revealing her pink soles, then hurriedly scrambled onto the bed and hid in the corner.
Huo Yu'er's face turned bright red—not because she'd thought of anything inappropriate. "I-I don't think I woke up at a good time."
"No, you woke up—"
Chu Mo replied instinctively, then realized as soon as he began that he'd said the wrong thing.
"Bah, never mind that. How's your cultivation?"
At the mention of cultivation, Huo Yu'er gently shook her head, clearing away her jumbled thoughts. Her face was still flushed as she looked gratefully at Chu Mo.
"Mhm. My cultivation has sped up so much. In such a short time, I've made progress that would normally take me several days of hard work."
When Tang Ya heard Huo Yu'er say that he could speed up her cultivation, she forgot all about her earlier embarrassment. Her cheeks still rosy, she left the corner and moved closer to Yu'er.
"Really, Yu'er?"
"Mhm. I cultivated really quickly, and my body doesn't feel tired at all. I only stopped because the pill wore off."
Huo Yu'er smiled sweetly and nodded, replying earnestly.
"All right, Ya'er. Don't be jealous. You can start cultivating too. I'll have Xiao Lu assist you."
Chu Mo had naturally noticed Tang Ya's envy. He gently stroked her long hair and smiled.
"Okay. I'll start now?"
Tang Ya couldn't wait to put the pill in her mouth. She crossed her long legs and began to cultivate.
Another forty minutes passed...
Tang Ya finished cultivating. After exhaling a breath of warm air, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
"It's true! In such a short time, I actually advanced by one level."
Her voice trembled as she spoke. She was overcome with excitement. Although she'd already built up a foundation, the increase in speed was obvious. Chu Mo hadn't lied to her.
Pounce~
Chu Mo was just about to say something when Tang Ya suddenly threw herself at him, startling him. Now that her fair legs were wrapped around him, he still felt a little unaccustomed to it.
"Thank you."
"You don't have to thank me."
Chu Mo gently patted the girl's back to comfort her. Her hair was loose, so all he could touch was her smooth black hair.
She carried the burden of revenge. Whenever she wasn't cultivating, strange feelings would surface in her heart. But her cultivation was getting slower and slower, which only made those feelings grow stronger. Now that her cultivation had sped up, she'd finally eased up a little. This reaction was only natural.
"Brother Chu Mo, Sister Yaya~"
Huo Yu'er felt a little embarrassed interrupting their affectionate moment. Watching them from the side was awkward.
"Uh~"
Tang Ya also realized just how improper her pose was. She coughed twice, then casually moved away.
When they finished cultivating, Xiao Lu slowly shrank, then yawned. "Gurgle, gurgle."
Xiao Lu patted its body, reached behind itself, and pulled out the fruit it had hidden away after taking a bite.
Seeing Xiao Lu eating fruit, Chu Mo suddenly realized it was getting late. They really should have dinner. It would be better to eat first, then cultivate afterward.
"There are still plenty of pills here. There's definitely enough for both of you to cultivate. Let's go eat first. Afterward, I'll buy another bed so you can cultivate on it."
He'd made these pills a while ago. He'd originally planned to sell them to earn some money, upgrade the Chat Group, and see if he could bring anyone in. But once they were ready, he'd hesitated. He was afraid people would mistake him for a pickpocket, and since he had no backing, any move he made could go wrong.
So in the end, he'd kept them hidden. He needed to get stronger first.
There were enough pills to last them until graduation.
"Big Brother Chu Mo, I'll grill fish for you!"
Huo Yu'er's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly patted her not particularly prominent chest.
Gulp~
Tang Ya watched Huo Yu'er and swallowed. It was obvious she loved grilled fish.
"Sure. Then I'll try Yu'er's cooking."
Seeing Huo Yu'er looking like such a well-behaved girl, Chu Mo couldn't help reaching out to pat her head again.
After a little discussion, the three decided to have grilled fish. They straightened their clothes and headed outside.
Splash, splash~
By a small river somewhere in Shrek Academy, Huo Yu'er had checked that there weren't many rules about this spot, so she decided to eat here.
A fire was soon lit. With the sound of the river flowing beside them, all four of them felt relaxed.
The extra person was Wang Dong'er, who had changed back into women's clothes. She sat nearby, glaring unhappily at Tang Ya and Huo Yu'er.
They smelled like body wash. They'd actually taken a bath. Did you need to bathe after cultivating?
Wang Dong'er's imagination was something else. With just a little thought, she'd already invented a whole drama.
Chu Mo looked at Tang Ya and Huo Yu'er with an evil grin. "Heh heh heh!"
"W-what are you going to do?"
The two girls clung to each other and asked in trembling voices.
"Heh heh. What am I going to do? My nickname is 'a beast in fine clothes'! I'm not letting either of you get away..."
With that, Chu Mo reached out to touch them.
Tang Ya looked distressed as she shielded Huo Yu'er. In the end, she gritted her teeth and decided to sacrifice herself.
"I'll do it, but you have to let Yu'er go!"
"Heh heh, that depends on how you perform..."
"Ah, no~"
"That hurts~"
Wang Dong'er's daydream came to an end. She instinctively looked toward Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was waiting for the fish to cook when he noticed her staring and turned to look.
"Tch!"
Wang Dong'er's face flushed. She rolled her eyes and looked away.
Chu Mo: ?
