Why Are You Reaching into My Crotch?!
(Chapter 391 reveals the secret, then the new plot begins; you can skip to that chapter if you're not interested)
"Hmm." Ye Hua yawned and opened his eyes.
Light streamed down from the dome, illuminating the stone tower with its spiraling steps.
The staircase was wide and long, but it had no railings.
Each step was covered in moss, and the tower walls were full of cracks.
"Ha~~" A yawn came from beside me.
"Awake?" The Limping Leg voice was hoarse. "We slept at the same time, didn't we?"
"You can't sleep anymore, darkness is about to catch up!"
Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly, assessing his own strength.
Soul Saint, not too bad.
Leaning over the edge of the stairs, you can see the swirling black mist below.
Ascending continuously along the tower wall, there is absolutely no room to hide.
"Don't look, don't look, it's just annoying," the Limping Leg frowned. "We have to climb to the top of the tower as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, it will be swallowed up!"
"Walk!"
Without saying a word, the Limping Leg started running, limping along.
His Martial Soul is the Sinking Silver Iron Rod, which he uses to run.
But as soon as we started moving, there were strange noises from both the front and back.
"Damn, can I really be this unlucky?" the Limping Leg cursed.
Ye Hua looked up, his pupils slightly contracting.
Dozens of hound-like monsters appeared ahead, each about half a person's height.
Its entire body is composed of a black skeleton, its eyes glow red, and it floats in mid-air.
"Hit him!" The Limping Leg muscles tensed, and the iron rod was raised horizontally.
Ye Hua didn't hesitate and activated his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul.
The First Soul Ring lit up.
Mental Shockwave!
He unleashed his mental power and charged at the hunting dogs.
Click!
The soul shattered completely under the mental impact, and the dark red eyes went out instantly.
The skeleton crashed to the ground and rolled straight down the steps.
"Alright," the Limping Leg nearly dropped the iron rod, "When did you get this kind of strength?"
"He climbed the tower just two days ago and I was the only one who needed to protect him."
Ye Hua smiled. "Maybe it's just that I've suddenly become enlightened?"
Seeing that there were still monsters blocking his way, Ye Hua didn't stand on ceremony.
A flash of dark gold light appeared on the right arm, activating the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear Right Arm Bone.
Gravity Suppression!
Dark Gold Trial ripples spread, pressing down on the hound's back.
The hunting dog, pouncing in mid-air, suddenly plummeted, crashing heavily onto the steps, the sound of bones cracking echoing in the air.
Dozens of hunting dogs huddled together, howling and struggling desperately, but to no avail.
Ye Hua snapped his fingers, and his third Soul Ring lit up—it was [Ice Empress's Wrath] brought by the Ice Empress!
Massive area-of-effect ice and snow attack!
The steps were covered with ice, and icicles pierced the tower walls.
Even the air was frozen into tiny ice crystals.
Emerging continuously from the fog, the pursuing pack of hounds and the scattered monsters blocking their path all met their doom.
Countless hunting dogs were frozen in time, frozen into statues, their teeth bared in a menacing pose.
Finally, crushed by the cold air, it exploded into transparent fragments, clattering and clattering as it fell.
As for the hunting dogs that still want to be chased?
Everyone was terrified by the rising chill and stopped in their tracks!
Even the most reckless among them wanted to run after them after landing, lest they be swept away by the chilling air in mid-air.
But what awaited them were the frozen staircases.
Its claws slipped, it lost its balance, and it fell flat on its face!
They slid down the ice, screaming as they were swallowed by the black mist!
Ye Hua didn't even turn his head as he ascended the new steps.
Despite his Limping Leg, he stopped walking.
He leaned against the tower wall, slid down, and left the iron rod at his feet.
"I can't go on, I'm so tired and sleepy."
He straightened his good leg and bent his lame leg.
His face showed no fear, only exhaustion.
The drowsiness seeping from the very marrow of his bones reminded Ye Hua of high school students.
"Brother," the Limping Leg said, his eyelids drooping, "I'm not running anymore."
"Even a hunchbacked kid couldn't handle running for three days and three nights!"
"My legs are so tired, I run like crazy every day, but the light at the top of the tower is always so far away."
He paused, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Perhaps there is no top at all, and perhaps there is no hope at all."
"This place is designed to slowly kill us!"
"Are you really going to give up?" Ye Hua frowned. "Didn't you just finish sleeping with someone?"
"Ah, that's right, twelve hours of sleep is good, but I'm still tired." The Limping Leg rubbed his eyes.
"Climbing the tower is so tiring. If I didn't run, I could just sleep until the end of time, swallowed by darkness in my dreams, right?"
Are you sure?
The Limping Leg closed his eyes, as if finally relieved of a heavy burden, and said, "I'm sure."
"Have a safe trip, brother. If you really manage to climb to the top of the tower, remember to burn me a mattress to sleep on."
"I won't let you burn in vain. After you die, I'll repay you with ghost money."
Ye Hua's lips twitched as he ran alone up the winding stone steps.
The black mist behind him enveloped the steps where the Limping Leg sat.
The Limping Leg was swallowed while he was fast asleep, and when Ye Hua looked back, he was already gone.
Shaking his head, Ye Hua continued climbing upwards.
If you encounter a monster, just send it straight to see the Limping Leg.
Hopefully, he won't be chased and bitten by hunting dogs underground.
Slowly, he ran out of the area affected by [Ice Empress's Wrath].
The ice beneath our feet turned into rapidly melting frost, revealing the grayish stone surface.
The stone steps grew narrower, but fortunately the light at the top of the tower was also increasing.
Ye Hua squinted, leaped into the light, and instinctively closed his eyes.
This time it wasn't the feeling of drowning.
A feeling of heat lingers in my lower abdomen.
A heavy, oppressive feeling returned to my chest.
As if sensing something, Ye Hua opened his eyes to find Hu Liena nestled against his chest.
The fox's tail rested on his lips, her head nestled against his collarbone, her breathing even.
One arm encircled his ribs, the other hand...
"Um?!"
"Where are you putting it!"
"Nana? Nana!"
"Hmm..." Hu Liena's eyes were closed, and the corners of her mouth were turned up, looking quite content.
Ye Hua put his hand to his forehead, pinched the fox ear, and bit it with his lips.
"Ah!!!" Hu Liena woke up with a start, pouting in dissatisfaction.
But when she saw Ye Hua, her eyes instantly became unfocused.
"Hiss--"
It's hard to imagine that this fox told her last night not to stare at Qian Renxue, saying that now was not the time for romance!
Forget your roots!
"Ye Hua!" Hu Liena suddenly raised her body and covered Ye Hua's mouth with her chest.
Ye Hua's eyelids twitched violently.
"I want it~~" Hu Liena rubbed her foot against his inner thigh.
Ye Hua pressed her head down, "Stop fooling around, there are too many people here."
"Then just use your mental power to block their view," Hu Liena tilted her head. "Anyway, you have that ability."
"It just means consuming more Soul Power and mental energy."
"You're so strong, it shouldn't matter if you expend some energy, right?"
"Is that so?" Ye Hua raised an eyebrow and looked at her seriously.
Hu Liena blinked, a clear look flashing in her eyes.
Ye Hua stroked her forehead with his hand, "Sleep a little longer, sweetie."
Hu Liena's eyelids drooped, and she withdrew her hand from Ye Hua's crotch, falling into a deep sleep.
Ye Hua shook his head.
He seems very close to the truth.
Therefore, there's no need to rush.
The truth should come out by tomorrow night.
Ye Hua glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.
Bai Chenxiang closed her eyes rapidly.
But her trembling eyebrows and twitching shoulders betrayed her inner turmoil.
