Wang Dong's Special Fetish, Huo Yuhao's Confession

Under the guidance of a certain "love saint" young lord.

The tsundere girl often came to Bai Luo afterward under the pretext of "worrying about aftereffects," asking him to examine her body.

She claimed that she did not want to, but the young lord insisted on it.

Ning Tian merely smiled and took all the blame upon herself.

The tsundere girl could not bring herself to admit it, so for her best friend's happiness, Ning Tian could only bear this enormous blame.

This gave Jiang Nannan quite a headache.

First Ma Xiaotao, then Wu Feng.

She felt that she was developing an instinctive aversion to red-haired girls.

What Jiang Nannan did not know was that—

Besides those two red-haired girls, a certain blue-and-pink-haired young lady disguised as a boy did not have such simple thoughts either.

"Hiss—"

"Pain, pain, pain!"

Wang Dong sucked in a sharp breath, baring her teeth in pain.

Beside her, Bai Luo expressionlessly treated the wounds on her body.

Under the cover of emerald-green light, the red marks on Wang Dong's fair skin rapidly vanished at a visible pace.

"Say."

"Do you have some kind of secret fetish?"

Bai Luo withdrew his martial soul, his expression strange.

Ever since this young lady's switch had been flipped on one particular occasion.

Wang Dong would challenge Bai Luo from time to time.

She claimed she was going to wash away her past humiliation.

The outcome was naturally obvious.

With the chasm-like difference in strength between Bai Luo and Wang Dong, there was never any suspense over the result.

Every match ended with Wang Dong being whipped until she surrendered.

Yet this young lady seemed to have become addicted.

Though she never gained any advantage from these challenges, she still eagerly challenged Bai Luo every few days.

Then he would mercilessly whip her, and finally heal her as she grimaced in pain like this.

To the point that Bai Luo had no choice but to wonder whether he had awakened this young lady's special fetish.

Sometimes, even looking at the golden wheat stalk in his hand made him feel a little awkward.

It gave him the distinct impression of a classic prop from a certain lettered community.

If healing Wang Dong after whipping her did not provide a certain amount of feedback every time.

Bai Luo would have had no interest in playing such a boring game with her.

By now, he had more or less figured out the pattern.

If he took the initiative to beat Wang Dong and then healed her, there would be no feedback.

But if Wang Dong challenged him of her own accord, and he beat her up before healing her wounds, there would be feedback.

Bai Luo did not know the exact reason for it.

But since it was all benefit and no harm to him, he did not dwell on it too much.

Although the feedback from this method was limited.

She was, after all, one of the original story's female leads, so each instance was worth far more than the feedback from many ordinary people.

"Who has some secret fetish?!"

As though a hidden secret had been exposed, Wang Dong hurriedly retorted with a flushed face.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"This young... this young master merely wants to win back the ground I lost!"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—do not bully the young and poor!"

"One day, this young master will definitely trample you beneath my feet!"

"Heh heh."

Bai Luo sneered, unconcerned.

Other than under certain special circumstances, he could not imagine any possibility of Wang Dong trampling him beneath her feet.

His laugh was not loud, but it was full of mockery.

It made the little face of the God King's young lady flush bright red with anger.

"Right."

After a moment of silence, Wang Dong suddenly spoke again, her expression somewhat unnatural and awkward.

"Bad guy, do you take private jobs?"

"What?"

"The academy is on break. Come home with me and be my sparring partner. I'll pay you. How about it?"

A trace of anticipation flashed through Wang Dong's eyes.

For some reason, when she thought about not seeing this annoying bad guy for two or three months, she felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.

"You want to keep me?"

Bai Luo's expression turned a little strange.

This was not the first time someone had made such a request of him.

Those noble young ladies who drooled over him had often privately proposed keeping him.

"W-what do you mean, keep you?!"

"It's sparring, sparring!"

Wang Dong stomped her foot as she corrected him, and faint white mist seemed to rise from above her head.

She just wanted to be able to challenge this bad guy whenever she wanted, so she could trample him beneath her feet sooner. That was all!

That was right, that was all!

"Not interested."

No longer teasing this young lady, Bai Luo shook his head and refused.

He was not short on money, and he had no interest in this sort of thing.

"Why?"

"I can pay you. The price will definitely satisfy you!"

Wang Dong was somewhat unwilling to give up.

The moment she spoke, she displayed the extravagant wealth of the Clear Sky Sect's young lady.

"I wouldn't go no matter how much you paid."

Bai Luo rolled his eyes and turned to return to the clinic.

"Fine, don't go. It's not like I care!"

Wang Dong gritted her silver teeth, gave a soft huff, and left dejectedly.

Inside the clinic.

Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er, mother and son, were chatting casually.

Shrek Academy was on break, so he had returned to the clinic as well.

"Brother Bai!"

Seeing Bai Luo return, Huo Yuhao quickly stood to greet him.

Then he glanced at his mother beside him.

"Mom, there's something I want to discuss with Brother Bai alone."

Although Huo Yun'er did not know what Huo Yuhao wanted to tell Bai Luo.

She had never been a mother with an especially strong desire to control her child.

She rose with a gentle smile and nodded.

"Alright, talk to the boss. Mom will go make dinner for you two."

Huo Yun'er stood and walked into the kitchen.

Today was the weekend.

As usual, Bai Luo was not seeing patients, so there was no one else in the clinic.

Bai Luo sat down opposite Huo Yuhao and gave a soft smile.

"Yuhao, just tell me whatever it is."

Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment.

He was not hesitating, only thinking about how to phrase it.

He spoke softly.

"Brother Bai, do you believe that soul beasts can retain a certain degree of intelligence after becoming soul rings?"

Huo Yuhao knew.

That soul beasts retained no consciousness after becoming soul rings was common knowledge in the world of soul masters.

He had already prepared himself to explain further.

After all, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's situation was truly too unbelievable.

Other than Bai Luo, Huo Yuhao had never intended to reveal it to anyone.

Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had strongly opposed his decision to tell Bai Luo about it.

Huo Yuhao had ultimately still made this decision.

He knew that if he wanted to establish himself in this world, he had to learn to keep things hidden.

But Brother Bai was an exception.

Compared with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Bai Luo held a higher place in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Yet Bai Luo's reaction completely caught Huo Yuhao off guard.

The explanation that had reached his lips was suddenly lodged in his throat, unable to come out.

Bai Luo showed no doubt, nor any shock.

The expression on his face was so calm that it seemed he had merely heard something entirely ordinary.

His emerald-like eyes were deep, carrying a knowing look as though he saw through everything.

The corners of his lips curved slightly as he said words that shook both Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the Spirit Sea.

"Yuhao."

"Are you talking about the million-year Ice Silkworm soul beast inside your body?"
