Taking Whale Rubber, Morning Embarrassment

Ma Xiaotao brought Ye Chen to a small courtyard and entered the house in the middle. She then led Ye Chen into a room next door and said, "Here, this is your room. You'll be staying here from now on."

"Uh... Sister Xiaotao, isn't this... your residence?"

Ye Chen looked at the furnishings in the room, as well as the half-open door to the room next door. Someone clearly lived here.

There were even some intimate garments drying outside...

They matched Ma Xiaotao perfectly.

This was obviously Ma Xiaotao's own home.

Ye Chen had not expected that he would actually be living under the same roof as Ma Xiaotao.

"What, do you dislike staying with your senior sister?"

Ma Xiaotao frowned and looked at Ye Chen.

Seeing the enormous curves before him pressing toward him with overwhelming force, Ye Chen hurriedly waved his hands. "No, no, no. Sister Xiaotao, I think this room is great..."

"Hmph, that's more like it~" Ma Xiaotao narrowed her eyes, very pleased with Ye Chen's attitude.

"Hurry in. I'm staying next door, so just call me if you need anything~" As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao pushed Ye Chen into the room.

She had actually wanted to sleep with Ye Chen, but she was afraid of scaring him, so she figured she should cultivate their relationship first.

After all, Ye Chen's Ice Dragon King Martial Spirit was simply too powerful. She could not get enough of it.

And Ye Chen was so cute—he really was perfect boyfriend material.

Perhaps this was what they called love at first sight...

She had never believed in it before.

But now, she had no choice but to believe.

Ye Chen was her "love at first sight."

The only issue was that the age gap between them was a little large. However, Soul Masters lived longer than ordinary people and stayed young much longer as well. A mere age difference naturally would not matter much.

The only thing she needed to watch out for was gossip.

After all, this was like an old cow eating tender grass. She still had to maintain some semblance of propriety.

At the very least, she had to wait until Ye Chen grew up a little more before eating him...

Meanwhile.

Ye Chen finished washing up and returned to his room.

This small room was probably a temporary guest room, so it did not have a private bathroom. Ye Chen could only wash up outside.

However, Ye Chen did not mind. Being able to live in such a nice house right after enrolling was far better than that shabby dormitory.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning.

Ye Chen woke up early.

He immediately began signing in.

Sign-in successful. Reward: "10,000-Year Whale Rubber *10000 grams"

The next moment, a piece of Whale Rubber even larger than a human head appeared in Ye Chen's System Space.

"Huh, it's actually this thing—and it's even the legendary ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber. There's a full twenty jin of it!" Ye Chen was immediately somewhat surprised when he saw the reward.

Whale Rubber was good stuff. It improved one's physique.

Although Ye Chen possessed the Ice Dragon King Martial Spirit, because it had been granted as a system reward, while his Martial Spirit and cultivation had genuinely increased, his physical fitness and strength had not immediately "arrived." Instead, they were slowly increasing.

In reality, the Ice Dragon King Martial Spirit was remaking his body, but it lacked nutrients, so the process was relatively slow.

However, if he consumed Whale Rubber, it should greatly accelerate the rate at which those gains "arrived."

The only problem was that Whale Rubber had a side effect: if one ate too much at once, a fire would flare up inside the body...

"Forget it. I'll deal with that later."

Ye Chen simply chipped off a grain-of-rice-sized piece and swallowed it directly.

Instantly, a warm current spread through his entire body, making Ye Chen feel extremely comfortable.

Ye Chen chipped off another piece, a little larger than a sunflower seed, and swallowed it again.

The warm current remained the same, nourishing Ye Chen's body, but it lasted longer.

At the same time, Ye Chen looked down and discovered...

"Holy shit, that strong?"

Ye Chen lowered his head for a look and was immediately a little surprised. He had only eaten a small amount, yet the reaction was already this strong.

Could it be because this was fresh Whale Rubber?

If this were in his previous life, it would definitely have been a priceless treasure to certain impotent men!

Ye Chen got out of bed, dressed, bent over, and quietly opened the door, looking extremely sneaky.

After all, he needed to use the restroom, but he was afraid Ma Xiaotao might see him.

"Little Chen, you're awake? Come have breakfast quickly~" Just then, Ma Xiaotao emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray.

Ma Xiaotao wore a thin gauze nightgown with an apron tied around her waist. Her fiery red hair hung loosely over her shoulders, with several strands resting in the hollow of her collarbone.

The fullness beneath her nightgown stretched its neckline into soft curves. Morning light passed through the thin fabric, casting a hazy glow over the curves of her waist and hips. Beneath the hem extended a pair of plump, slender, snow-white legs—longer than Ye Chen's life...

Ma Xiaotao bent slightly to set down the tray, and her collar loosened a little, the snowy whiteness within even more dazzling than the milk in the porcelain bowl.

The morning sunlight shone across her face, making her bare cheeks appear all the more clear and radiant.

Ye Chen had already consumed Whale Rubber.

How could he withstand such a sight? He instinctively bent even lower, a trace of embarrassed redness appearing on his face.

"Ah, Little Chen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Seeing Ye Chen like this, Ma Xiaotao was startled and hurried over to support him.

"No, Sister Xiaotao, I'm fine..."

Ye Chen only felt as though his head was being pressed against something soft. It was a little heavy.

"How could you be fine? You're already like this. Did you get hurt somewhere?"

Ma Xiaotao instinctively helped Ye Chen straighten up, then lowered her head to look...

"Ah—Junior Brother, you..."

Ma Xiaotao cried out, covering her little mouth as her beautiful eyes widened at Ye Chen.

"Sister Xiaotao, I'm going to use the restroom first..."

Ye Chen felt rather awkward as well and hurriedly ran into the bathroom.

Very soon, the sound of rushing water came from inside. Clearly, Ye Chen was taking a cold shower.

A moment later.

Ye Chen came out after changing his clothes.

Ma Xiaotao sat at the dining table, eating breakfast by herself. However, the blush on her face had yet to fade, and the scene from just now kept replaying in her mind. Even through his clothes, she could imagine...

"Sister Xiaotao, sorry, I..." Ye Chen scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.

"Little Chen, you don't need to explain. Healthy boys all have reactions like that. Your sister understands." Ma Xiaotao had already regained her composure and gave Ye Chen a meaningful look.

After all, she was an eighteen-year-old big sister. Naturally, she understood quite a few things.

Seeing that Ye Chen still wanted to say something, Ma Xiaotao urged him on, putting on a stern expression. "Alright, hurry up and eat breakfast. You still have classes at the Outer Court today. You can't be late on your first day."

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaotao. I'll do my best."

Ye Chen nodded, then lowered his head and began eating.

It had to be said that the breakfast Ma Xiaotao had made herself was quite delicious.

The milk was so white... Ah, no, the milk was so sweet, and the eggs were so round...

After breakfast.

Ma Xiaotao saw Ye Chen off to the Outer Court.

Before he left, Ma Xiaotao did not forget to tell Ye Chen to behave himself. She was as attentive as a parent sending their child off to school.

This also gave Ye Chen a warmth he had never felt before, making him decide to treat Ma Xiaotao better in the future.

Mm, for example, he could give her some gifts. Whale Rubber should be quite suitable. There was so much of it anyway; he could not finish it all by himself...
