"Mmm..."
Feeling the slender body in his arms, cool and silky yet carrying a profoundly enticing hint of springtime desire, Dongfang Hao slowly curved his lips into a satisfied smile.
His large hand roamed openly over Ling Luochеn's slender waist, which bore not an ounce of spare flesh. He even gave her firm, rounded rear a measured squeeze, drawing a sweet, seductive little moan from the beauty in his arms.
He had to admit that this Ice Beauty, normally lofty and untouchable in the Inner Court, admired and pursued by countless people, had become utterly gentle, obedient, and dependent after the Divine Skill completely reshaped and controlled her mind and will. That contrast was stimulating to the extreme!
Across from them, however, Ma Xiaotao's long, lustrous eyes went as round as bronze bells. She stood rooted to the spot, as though turned to stone!
"Ling... Ling Luochеn?! Have you lost your mind?!"
Ma Xiaotao sucked in a cold breath, her face filled with disbelief!
Was this still Ling Luochеn, the "Ice Goddess of the Inner Court," who normally disdained even looking a man in the eye, proud and frigid to her very bones?!
Not only had she thrown herself into the arms of a boy she had just met, she had even called herself "Big Sister Luochеn" in that sickeningly sweet, shameless voice, like some seductive vixen from a brothel, and offered to... warm his bed?!
Yet, faced with Ma Xiaotao's shocked questioning, Ling Luochеn, who had been nestled meekly in Dongfang Hao's arms, slowly turned her head.
The instant her pale-blue eyes turned toward Ma Xiaotao, all their tender intoxication vanished. They regained their old bone-piercing chill and disgust-if anything, even more intense-as she sneered coldly:
"Ma Xiaotao, wipe that stupid, overreacting expression off your face."
"My junior brother is favored by destiny. I adore him and am willing to serve him in bed and give myself to him. What does that have to do with a crude, irritable Hot-Tempered Firebird like you? Stop squawking here and annoying my master... my junior brother!"
"Pfft-!!"
Seeing Ling Luochеn bow and scrape before Dongfang Hao, only to turn around and treat her with the same sharp-tongued hostility as always, Ma Xiaotao finally recovered from her initial shock and doubled over with laughter!
Her already astonishingly full, proud breasts quivered like blossoms on trembling branches as she laughed, making for a thoroughly provocative sight:
"Hahahahaha! You're killing me! Ling Luochеn, oh, Ling Luochеn! You always acted like some lofty, aloof maiden ready to die for her chastity. I really thought you were an immortal untouched by the smoke of mortal kitchens! Turns out, deep down... you're just another thirsty little hussy!!"
"All right, both of you. Enough."
Seeing that the two women were about to launch into another battle of barbed words, Dongfang Hao tightened his hand slightly and pulled Ling Luochеn in front of him. Then he reached out with his other hand and imperiously swept the laughing Ma Xiaotao into his arms as well!
Boom!
One on each side!
On his left was Ling Luochеn, the slender Ice Beauty, cold and pure as snow;
On his right was Ma Xiaotao, the Evil Fire Phoenix, hot as flame and maturely seductive to the extreme!
Ice and fire, absolute opposites, had both submitted to the boy's domineering embrace!
"I already told you."
Dongfang Hao gave each supple, rounded waist a hard squeeze, an arrogant, domineering sneer lifting the corner of his mouth:
"All the stunning scenery on Sea God Island... I want it all! From today onward, both of you are meat in my bowl. Neither of you is to get jealous or fight over me. Understood?!"
Confronted without warning by such an imperious declaration of ownership, Ling Luochеn showed not the slightest displeasure. Instead, she obediently rested her head against Dongfang Hao's left shoulder and murmured with entranced eyes, "I'll do whatever you say, junior brother..."
On his right, Ma Xiaotao gave a little huff and rolled her eyes at Dongfang Hao, but her long, shapely legs pressed naturally against his body as she chided, "You little lecher. Your appetite really does grow bigger by the day..."
With fragrant, soft beauties filling his arms, one cold to the bone and the other burning like fire, the incomparable sensation and visual impact filled Dongfang Hao with secret delight, making every pore in his body relax.
Still, lovely though the scenery was, Dongfang Hao had not forgotten his true objective!
Looking down at the two exquisite beauties in his arms, a faint gleam flickered in Dongfang Hao's eyes, and he suddenly spoke in an unhurried tone:
"But... just the two of you are still nowhere near enough."
"What?! Still not enough?!"
At those words, both women, who had been nestled obediently against the boy's sides, stiffened at once!
Fire blazed in Ma Xiaotao's eyes. Her slender fingers mercilessly twisted the soft flesh at Dongfang Hao's waist as she sneered through gritted teeth:
"You greedy little beast! You've got me and Ling Luochеn, two of the Inner Court's greatest beauties, serving you, and you still dare complain that it isn't enough?! Do you really think your body is forged from iron?!"
Even the normally cool Ling Luochеn showed a trace of anger in her beautiful eyes. She gave the boy's chest a measured little thump and chided, "If you keep being this greedy, junior brother... I really will get angry..."
Though he suffered a little fleshly pain, the Divine Skill had already deeply bound both women's minds to him and won their devotion. Such punishment was more like playful flirting between lovers.
Under Dongfang Hao's domineering caresses and teasing, the two women eventually admitted defeat. They exchanged a glance, each seeing helpless indulgence in the other's eyes.
"All right, all right! I must have owed you, you tormentor, in a past life!"
Ma Xiaotao straightened her slightly rumpled red combat outfit and rolled her eyes at Dongfang Hao before saying sweetly:
"Besides our eldest senior sister Zhang Lexuan, the strongest woman with the most enticing figure in the Inner Court would have to be our second senior sister-Han Ruoruo!"
"She's an outstanding control-type prodigy at the Seven-Ring Soul Sage level, with peerless beauty and a tall, voluptuous figure. She's always gentle and quiet. We'll take you to find her right now!"
"Wait a moment."
Dongfang Hao reached out to stop Ma Xiaotao. With a turn of his hand, he produced a blank jade slip he had already inscribed and handed it to her, his expression solemn as he instructed her:
"Senior Sister Ruoruo can wait a little longer. Senior Sister Xiaotao, first make a trip to Shrek City's auction house and the Medicine Pavilion. You must gather all the medicinal ingredients recorded on this jade slip, including the thousand-year purple spirit mushroom and ten-thousand-year azure spirit grass, as quickly as possible!"
"Medicinal ingredients?"
Ma Xiaotao paused, somewhat puzzled as she glanced over the many rare spiritual herbs listed on the jade slip. Though she did not know what the boy wanted them for, her obedience to Dongfang Hao made her nod readily:
"Fine, leave it to me. I've got connections at both Shrek City's Treasure Gathering Pavilion and the City Lord's Residence. Give me four hours at most, and I'll bring every last thing back to you!"
With that, her fiery body shifted, becoming a dazzling streak of crimson light. Swift and decisive, she shot away toward Shrek City.
As they watched Ma Xiaotao depart, only Dongfang Hao and Ling Luochеn remained on the path.
"Junior brother, let's go find Senior Sister Ruoruo, then..."
Ling Luochеn took a graceful step, preparing to lead the way.
Yet, just as the boy took half a step forward, something unexpected happened!
Whoosh!
Without the slightest warning, Ling Luochеn's tall, slender figure in moon-white clothing spun around. Moving like lightning, she actually shoved Dongfang Hao backward against the thick trunk of an ancient tree beside them!
Thud!
Amid the dull impact, two long, snow-white, warm arms braced firmly against either side of the ancient tree, trapping Dongfang Hao within!
The Ice Beauty, Ling Luochеn, had actually turned the tables and delivered an utterly domineering... beauty's wall pin to Dongfang Hao on the spot!
Her slightly disheveled ice-blue hair fell around a face as exquisite as a sculpture carved from snow, now mere fractions of an inch from Dongfang Hao's. Burning infatuation and wistful resentment shimmered in her beautiful eyes. Her red lips parted, her breath cool as ice:
"Junior brother... that annoying Ma Xiaotao has finally left..."
"Before we go see Senior Sister Ruoruo... shouldn't you let Big Sister Luochеn... take good care of you first?"
