Max-Level Charm: Xiao Wu Offers to Warm My Bed

Being pinned face-to-face by a soft, delicate, beautiful little girl was so embarrassing that Ao Yin could have carved out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Everyone in the room stared fixedly at them, and the atmosphere was explosively awkward!

If he had not caught the little girl off guard and stunned her earlier, he definitely would not have won so easily against Xiao Wu's grappling techniques!

Having just finished the fight, Xiao Wu's blood and energy surged, her face flushed red. Though she was a little overwhelmed, she still felt oddly unsatisfied.

She casually brushed the dust from her pink-and-white dress and smiled. "I surrender! From now on, you're my boss, Xiao Wu's boss!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she pouted her soft pink lips slightly.

Her fair, slender ankle lifted a little and swayed before Ao Yin.

A clear circle of faint red finger marks was imprinted on that snow-white skin, especially conspicuous.

"You're way too strong. You squeezed my ankle until it's all sore and achy."

The scene of their close-range struggle, limbs tangled together, was still vivid in his mind.

When they had been pressed close together, the faintly sweet, fresh scent of the girl's body had drifted straight into Ao Yin's nose.

When he had been pinned down just now, his entire face had nearly been buried against the girl's front. The soft, warm sensation remained unforgettable.

Ao Yin's heart stirred slightly, and an uncomfortable heat spread through his entire body.

After all, Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soft-Boned Rabbit in human form!

Her physical flexibility and explosive power far surpassed those of human Soul Masters at the same level.

Yet just now, she had been unable to break free from his one-handed restraint!

Xiao Wu's heart was filled with shock and curiosity.

The flush had yet to fade from her face. She tilted up her head and stared unblinkingly at Ao Yin, her long lashes trembling lightly as she leaned closer, far too close.

This human smells so nice. It feels so comfortable!

"Ao—"

"Just call me Little Ao," Ao Yin quickly said.

"Little Ao, what exactly was that move you used just now?" Xiao Wu tilted her head slightly and leaned over more than halfway closer.

"I didn't sense even the slightest Soul Power fluctuation the whole time. You clearly didn't use a Soul Skill! But it was completely different from my grappling techniques. How strange!"

Ao Yin rubbed his nose. He still had not fully recovered, and faced with her close-up questioning, he suppressed the flutter in his heart and forced a calm smile.

"It's a type of martial technique that doesn't require Soul Power. It's called Awei's Eighteen Forms—every move included, no discounts."

"Wow! That name is so cool!"

Xiao Wu's eyes instantly lit up. Her little face was full of fascination, and she was completely interested now.

Her petite body swayed lightly, her eyes brimming with eagerness to try.

"I must have been careless just now! My grappling techniques are super powerful!"

"Next time, I'll definitely have a serious fight with you and experience your complete set of Awei's Eighteen Forms!"

Seeing the little girl's proud yet adorably soft expression, Ao Yin's heart itched slightly, and he chuckled.

"Hahaha, there'll be plenty of chances to spar in the future."

Wang Sheng and the others, who had watched the entire awkwardly intimate and socially mortifying scene from the sidelines, had long since been dumbfounded.

They quickly came to their senses, bowed in unison, and shouted loud enough to shake the room.

"Boss! From now on, everyone in Dorm Seven will listen to you!"

Ao Yin suppressed the heat in his heart and nodded indifferently.

He began looking over the dormitory. Though its conditions were simple and shabby, compared to the drafty broken wooden house in Holy Soul Village, it was worlds apart.

"Boss, where do you want to sleep? Pick whichever bed you like!"

Wang Sheng was a perceptive person. Ao Yin had crushed him with one palm, then ruthlessly subdued Xiao Wu with lightning-fast methods. There was also a vague, indescribable air of nobility about him.

He felt that Ao Yin was definitely no ordinary work-study student. He was very likely from some great clan or top-tier sect. A person like that was someone he had to build a good relationship with.

Ao Yin looked around, casually chose an empty bed, and tossed his battered backpack onto it.

Just as he was about to lie down and rest for a while, Xiao Wu suddenly leaned over from the side.

"Um... can I sleep with you?"

"Hm?"

Ao Yin turned around in disbelief and happened to see Xiao Wu looking at him with a serious expression.

"Well, Xiao Wu still isn't quite used to being away from home. I always have trouble sleeping at night."

"Back when Xiao Wu slept, I always hugged Da Ming and Er Ming..."

"Da Ming and Er Ming?"

"They're my pets. I sleep very soundly when they're around."

"Although your aura is different from Da Ming and Er Ming's, it feels very comforting. Xiao Wu... likes it a lot!"

Ao Yin looked at Xiao Wu strangely. The Da Ming and Er Ming she mentioned should be the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, right?

Yet in Xiao Wu's eyes, they were merely two pets that helped her sleep?

Ao Yin nearly burst out laughing. Xiao Wu was far too adorable; she could not even come up with a convincing excuse when lying.

"Wait!"

"No... does Xiao Wu mean she sees me as a pet that helps her sleep?"

Ao Yin quickly caught Xiao Wu's logic and could not help laughing speechlessly.

She likes it... being close to me?

It must be [Max-Level Charm] at work!

Ao Yin smiled knowingly. The goddess Xiao Wu was taking the initiative to ask him to warm her bed—what reason could he possibly have to refuse?

"Sigh, fine! I'll reluctantly agree to it!"

Ao Yin put on a troubled expression as he reluctantly accepted.

"Yay! Xiao Wu can finally get a good night's sleep!"

Ao Yin shrugged and said solemnly, "What can I do? I'm a kind man. I just don't want a pretty girl tossing and turning all night."

Xiao Wu immediately jumped about in delight, while Wang Sheng and the others beside them were left dumbfounded.

Everyone was impressed by Ao Yin's kindness and could not help giving him a thumbs-up as they praised him:

"One word: brilliant!"

At the very same time Xiao Wu and Ao Yin were practically about to sleep together.

Tang San was in the office, listening to Master Yu Xiaogang's grand theories on martial souls.

"...As for your Blue Silver Grass martial soul, I suggest developing it in the control direction!"

"The control direction?"

By now, Tang San had been completely convinced by the Master's great theories, and he thoughtfully considered the Master's suggestion.

"That's right. Based on the characteristics of your Blue Silver Grass martial soul, I'll find a soul ring suitable for you!"

"However, that will have to wait until your soul power reaches level ten!"

Hearing that the Master intended to hunt a soul ring for him, Tang San could not help growing excited and said directly, "Teacher, when I first awakened my martial soul, my innate soul power was indeed only level nine..."

"But that was three months ago. My soul power has now reached level ten!"

At those words, Yu Xiaogang was both shocked and delighted. As expected of someone with twin martial souls—his soul power had risen again in only three months!

Tang San was immensely proud. Ever since he awakened his martial soul, cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill had become increasingly easy, and his soul power had grown considerably. Yet a month ago, he had encountered another bottleneck.

After hearing the Master's words just now, he guessed that it was related to soul rings.

"Good! Since your soul power has reached level ten, I'll take you to obtain your first soul ring tomorrow!"

"For today, go back first. Your accommodation has already been arranged by the teacher!"

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang stuffed the prepared bedding into Tang San's arms.

"Teacher specially arranged for you to stay in Dorm Seven. There's a fellow villager of yours there, so you can look out for each other."

"A fellow villager?"

Tang San's pupils contracted slightly as he gritted his teeth and muttered, "Teacher, do you mean Ao Yin?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded.
