Monster Girls Are The Best!

"Alright, a bet is a bet."

Lin Mo retracted his martial soul, his white hair turning black once more as he exited the Innate Life State, subconsciously rubbing his hands together.

A monster girl—hey, a monster girl!

This was a living, breathing monster girl!

And she was right in front of him.

"Be gentle, okay?" Xiao Wu bit her lip and lowered her head.

With Xiao Wu's tacit consent, Lin Mo reached out and gently touched the rabbit ears that had appeared after her martial soul possession.

If he weren't standing right in front of her, he feared he would have shrieked with excitement.

Monster girls really were the best!

The moment Lin Mo's fingers touched the ears, the soft sensation made him freeze for a second.

The temperature of the rabbit ears was slightly higher than Xiao Wu's body temperature, feeling warm and cozy.

He subconsciously gave them a light pinch.

Xiao Wu's face had long since flushed red.

Ever since Lin Mo's first touch, her body had gone rigid, leaving her unable to move.

She felt incredibly regretful.

Why had he agreed to such an absurd request from Suzuki just now? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

It was so embarrassing.

Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, her hands hanging by her sides, fingers clutching the hem of her clothes tightly.

She dared not look up, nor did she dare to speak.

She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, some strange sound would escape.

Just as Lin Mo's fingers gently pinched the tips of Xiao Wu's ears, her shoulders trembled imperceptibly.

Lin Mo naturally noticed Xiao Wu's reaction.

Following his touch, the tips of the rabbit ears had been stained with a faint shade of pink.

They looked exceptionally cute.

Driven by a mischievous impulse, he reached out and flicked the ear tips.

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears gave a violent twitch, making her look exactly like a startled rabbit.

"Are you done yet?" Xiao Wu's voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum.

In a place she hadn't noticed, her voice even carried a hint of softness she hadn't realized herself.

Xiao Wu's face had turned red to the roots of her ears, and even her neck was flushed with a faint pink hue.

After saying this, Xiao Wu immediately bit her lip again, refusing to speak further.

She was horrified to find that her voice sounded just like she was acting spoiled.

This made Xiao Wu curse herself in her heart once more!

Xiao Wu, oh Xiao Wu, what on earth are you doing!

Lin Mo looked down at her.

He gave the reddened ear base one last gentle rub before pulling his hand back, still feeling unsatisfied.

The softness and warmth lingered on his hand.

Yet, as Lin Mo watched the pair of rabbit ears atop Xiao Wu's head still trembling slightly, a sense of immense satisfaction welled up in his heart for no reason.

Monster girls really were the best!

The moment Lin Mo withdrew his hand, Xiao Wu immediately deactivated her martial soul possession, and the two rabbit ears vanished in a flash.

She rubbed her burning cheeks with the back of her hand, took a deep breath, and tried her best to make her expression look fierce.

"You've touched enough, haven't you?"

Xiao Wu glared at Lin Mo, looking as if she wanted to regain some of her dignity.

But her pair of reddened eyes lacked any real intimidation, making her look more like she was just bluffing.

The rabbit ears from her martial soul possession were an extremely sensitive and private area for her.

Had she not lost the bet to Lin Mo, she would never have allowed an outsider to touch them.

Lin Mo smiled and clasped his hands behind his back.

Not long after, at Seven Dorm.

"They're back! Brother Mo and Sister Xiao Wu are back!"

Wang Sheng, with his sharp eyes, spotted Lin Mo and Xiao Wu returning one after the other and couldn't help but shout in surprise.

The rest of the work-study students seized the opportunity to crowd around, chirping with questions.

"Brother Mo, who won the spar between you and Sister Xiao Wu just now?"

"Do you even have to ask? It's definitely Brother Mo. Look at how he's practically walking on air!"

"Sister Xiao Wu has already obtained her first spirit ring, right? Brother Mo, what was the result of the spar?"

"Sister Xiao Wu, why is your face so red? Were you exhausted from the spar?"

"Brother Mo, say something! Don't just stand there smiling!"

Everyone talked over one another, firing question after question until the entire Seven Dorm was as lively as a boiling pot.

The impatient ones crowded in front of Lin Mo, while a few others approached Xiao Wu, only to be glared back by a sharp look from her.

Xiao Wu, face flushed, walked to her bed without a word, sat down, and pulled the quilt over herself.

This reaction only made the crowd more curious.

Wang Sheng looked at Lin Mo, then at the figure huddled under the quilt, and scratched his head. "Brother Mo, what exactly happened?"

Seeing this, Lin Mo chuckled at the group and gave a thumbs-up. "Your Brother Mo is still your Brother Mo!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and excitement.

"I told you! Brother Mo definitely won!"

"Even with a spirit ring, Sister Xiao Wu still couldn't beat Brother Mo. He's just too strong!"

"See? Just as I guessed, Brother Mo is still your Brother Mo!"

"Brother Mo is mighty!"

"Alright, alright, break it up. It's so late and you lot still haven't rested; you really do love a spectacle."

Lin Mo waved his hand at the crowd and returned to his own bed.

He pulled the meditation technique from his robes and began to practice according to the paths described within.

Yu Xiaogang had given this to him on the way back.

In Yu Xiaogang's words, business is business; this was a token of gratitude for Lin Mo saving Luo Sanpao from the Datura Snake.

Lin Mo naturally accepted it without hesitation.

The meditation technique in Yu Xiaogang's possession was significantly better than the introductory ones taught by the school instructors.

Moreover, Lin Mo didn't mind building a good relationship with the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang. After all, while the Grandmaster's raw combat strength might be lacking, his intellectual influence was immense.

Setting aside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him, the mere fact that he was connected to Pope Bibi Dong was enough for Lin Mo to justify the effort.

With the Grandmaster as a shield, whether Bibi Dong decided to recruit him or target him in the future, she would surely have to factor him into her considerations.

He wasn't Tang San, who stood in innate opposition to Spirit Hall.

Lin Mo closed his eyes, circulating his spirit power in cycles according to the prescribed path.

As he channeled his power, he pondered silently.

Beyond these considerations, Lin Mo had his own theories as to why the Grandmaster hadn't offered to take him as a disciple.

The primary reason was likely that he already had a disciple with twin spirits: Tang San.

The secondary reason was probably the lingering sense of frustration the Grandmaster felt.

After all, even with Lin Mo actively cooperating, Yu Xiaogang had failed to deduce what his spirit was after so much time.

Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but surface on Lin Mo's face.

A standard full-body Body Spirit was already difficult enough to guess without him revealing it.

With his Body Spirit possessing an innate talent called Inversion of Three, the difficulty of the riddle was even higher.
