"Oh? To serve me?"
Gazing at the exquisite face that was practically glued to the tip of his nose, the corners of Dongfang Hao's mouth slowly curved into a playful arc. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, and far from offering any resistance, he comfortably leaned his back against the rough tree trunk.
Ling Luochen's famously cold and frost-like peerlessly beautiful face was now mere inches away.
A gentle breeze swept by, stirring her cascading ice-blue waterfall of hair and causing it to gently brush against Dongfang Hao's neck, bringing a series of cool and tingling sensations.
It had to be said that the appearance of this Inner Court Ice Beauty truly deserved to be called a masterpiece of the Creator. Her skin was fairer than snow, her willow-like brows were delicate as smoke, and the opening and closing of her pale blue eyes carried a sense of detachment and arrogance unique to the snow-capped mountains of the Far North.
Yet, this very goddess who ordinarily caused countless Inner Court prodigies to shrink back in dismay was currently right before him, deep within those cold eyes lay nothing except an unmelting mire of intoxicated lust and pathological dependence!
"Little Junior Brother... is Luochen pretty?"
Ling Luochen murmured in a low voice. As her ice-blue gaze shifted, it carried a heart-palpitating allure. Immediately, encircled by her slender jade arms, that cold and beautiful face finally lowered slowly...
"Mm..."
The moment those cool yet soft tender red lips, reminiscent of early spring petals, firmly stamped onto Dongfang Hao's mouth, the young man couldn't help trembling slightly all over.
It was an experience completely distinct from Ma Xiaotao's raging, violent fire!
Cool and sweet, resembling a bite into top-quality, premium crystal snow pear, the crispness carried an utmost, intense virgin fragrance that spread wildly along the tip of his tongue and down his throat.
Although Ling Luochen's actions appeared exceptionally bold and urgent, she was clearly inexperienced, clumsy to the point of being somewhat at a loss, and could only suckle and demand clumsily between the young man's lips and teeth.
However, after being completely eroded by the divine technique, the nearly fanatic worship and yearning for Dongfang Hao buried deep within her bones drove her to instinctively extend her warm, dainty tongue to actively guide the young man, probing into that warm, sweet, and mysterious territory...
"Tsk... truly a supreme stunner..."
Dongfang Hao laughed heartily and inwardly with satisfaction; how could he stand on ceremony?
The large hand that had been hanging at his side unhesitatingly reached out, sliding roughly past the collar of Ling Luochen's cool and skimpy moon-white robe straight inside!
"Rip..."
Accompanied by a slight friction sound, the palm of his large hand covered a mound of warmth, firmness, and astonishingly elastic, plump snow-whiteness without any obstruction!
"Ngh-hm..."
When her vital spot was unceremoniously seized and kneaded fiercely by the young man's large hand, Ling Luochen's slender and delicate body violently trembled as if struck by lightning. A soul-stirring moan spilled from her throat, and she wrapped herself tightly around Dongfang Hao like a water snake!
That pair of already tall and slender long legs even curved upward uncontrollably, attempting to straddle the young man's waist. Her beautiful eyes were blurred like she was drunk, her breathing had grown chaotic to the extreme, and her hands tore madly at the belt around the young man's waist, intending to consummate things with Dongfang Hao right there in the broad daylight of the Sea God Island's tree-lined shade!
"Stop!"
At the critical moment when the sash was about to be torn away, Dongfang Hao gave a sharp start. A flash of lucidity crossed his eyes, and using his large hand, he forcefully pressed against Ling Luochen's wildly demanding, beautiful face, pushing her forcibly back by a sliver of distance!
"Hoo-hoo... huff-huff..."
Forcibly interrupted, Ling Luochen breathed heavily, her moon-white robe disheveled and gaping wide. Large patches of fair, blindingly white skin and the astonishing peaks squeezed into a deep cleavage gleamed brightly in the sunlight.
Mist filled her pale blue eyes, brimming with an inability to conceal her lust and grievance. Biting her red lip, she looked as aggrieved as though she were about to cry. "Little Junior Brother... why push Luochen away? Could it be... could it be that Luochen's body isn't to Little Junior Brother's liking?"
"Silly woman, what are you letting your imagination run wild for?"
Dongfang Hao straightened his ruffled collar, cast her an exasperated look, and twitched the corner of his mouth to say:
"There are fierce Divine Senses of the elder generation everywhere on this Sea God Island. If you truly wish to be watched like a stage play by those old immortals of the Sea God Pavilion right here, your young master here cannot afford to lose that face!"
Hearing the young man's teasing, Ling Luochen choked slightly, her wits finally regaining a bit of clarity. Glancing down at her own disheveled state with large amounts of spring scenery exposed, an alluring flush akin to ripened fruit could not help blooming across her typically cold cheeks.
"Besides... this is currently not the time to break my cultivation technique..."
Dongfang Hao muttered inwardly, reaching out to properly tidy the open robe for Ling Luochen, patting her perky rear lightly, and laughing loudly:
"All right, pull yourself together and lead the way properly! Accompany me to meet that Second Senior Sister of ours, Han Ruoruo!"
"Yes... Luochen will obey Little Junior Brother in everything..."
Ling Luochen cast a resentful glance at Dongfang Hao. Although somewhat unsatisfied in her desires, after being placated thus, the fever within her heart finally subsided gradually. Obediently tidying her hair, she set her long legs into motion and went ahead to guide the path.
Meanwhile, inside the Spirit Medicine Hall deep within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion of Shrek City.
"Whoosh!"
A bustling, fiery red streak of light blasted in through the door, causing several stewards in the hall to bow in succession.
The newcomer was naturally Ma Xiaotao, who had accepted the task.
Relying on her transcendent identity as a member of the Shrek Inner Court, Ma Xiaotao enjoyed a completely unimpeded path within the Medicine Pavilion. In less than the time it took to burn half a stick of incense, dozens of rare medicinal herbs of varied forms were already neatly stacked inside that Storage Soul Tool.
However, as Ma Xiaotao sat atop the VIP seating and lowered her head to tally the medicinal ingredients, her slender, elegant brows couldn't help knitting tighter and tighter.
"Millennium Purple Spirit Mushroom... ten-thousand-year Azure Spirit Grass... Inkleaf Lotus... Cold Mist Grass..."
With a look of suspicion, Ma Xiaotao extended her delicate, jade-like fingers to gently stroke an Azure Spirit Grass radiating a faint blue glow throughout its body, her beautiful eyes filled with incomprehension and bewilderment.
Although these medicinal ingredients were not low in age-the worst among them being at the level of several centuries to even thousands of years-if one were truly to discuss their value and status on the Douluo Continent, they were far from being considered irreplaceable peerless treasures.
The fundamental reason was that those self-proclaimed grandmaster physicians and medicine sages on the continent simply could not perfectly purify and utilize the medicinal potency within them!
If swallowed raw or boiled into crude medicinal soup, not only would less than thirty percent of the medicinal power be absorbed, but the accumulation of medicinal toxins would actually clog the meridians. For high-level soul masters, it was simply tasteless to eat and a pity to discard-a total tasteless chicken rib!
"That little bastard... what does he want with such niche medicinal ingredients?!"
Ma Xiaotao irritably scratched her head of fiery red hair, her delicate body sinking into the soft chair as her full, upright snow-white peaks rose and fell in a turbulent wave:
"Could it be... that he can actually turn these crude herbs into something extraordinary?!"
"A mere Soul Grandmaster around the age of twenty-some, could he possibly understand the combination and application of the medicine of heaven and earth better than the medicine grandmasters of the entire continent who have studied it for a lifetime?!"
Even though her heart was filled with suspicion and disbelief, the moment Dongfang Hao's confident, deep dark-golden eyes surfaced in her mind, Ma Xiaotao's heart couldn't help missing a beat.
Just how many shocking, heaven-defying methods were still hidden on that monstrous young man's body?!
