Not Interested in Girls: Wang Dong'er's Sense of Crisis

"All right, then what about you?" Zhou Yi finally turned to Wang Dong'er.

Although she really did not want to talk to Wang Dong'er, she simply could not understand why all three of them had chosen the Control System.

"Your martial soul is clearly an Assault Type. Why did you write down Control System too?"

"Teacher, don't you know? If you beat your opponent to death outright, doesn't that count as controlling them?"

"You..." Wang Dong'er's words left Zhou Yi choking on her reply.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you lot. Pick whatever you like. Now get out, all of you!"

The three hurried out of the classroom.

Their stomachs had been growling for ages, so they ran straight to the cafeteria.

Zhou Yi had mixed feelings about Wang Dong'er. Whether in talent or strength, Wang Dong'er was the best in the class, yet she always insisted on going against her.

She wanted to expel her, but could not. It was infuriating.

After they finished eating, Xiao Xiao wanted to practice with them, but Wang Dong'er refused.

"You've watched us fight so many times. Aren't you familiar with our soul skills yet? Besides, we learned about yours when we fought you before. Even without practicing, we can trounce the other teams."

When Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao had fought before, Xiao Xiao had gotten an itch to join in, turning it into a three-way free-for-all.

"All right, then. When the competition comes, I'll show you just how powerful my twin martial souls are."

After Xiao Xiao left, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke up beside Wang Dong'er.

"Wang Dong, why do I get the feeling Xiao Xiao likes you?"

"What makes you think that?"

"Because I've noticed she always likes staring at you. You're so good-looking, lots of girls must like you."

Huo Yuhao felt that if he were a girl, he would like Wang Dong'er too.

"Idiot, doesn't Xiao Xiao look at you the same way? Besides, I'm not interested in girls."

"???" Huo Yuhao's face was full of question marks.

Wang Dong'er turned and walked away, and Huo Yuhao hurried after her.

"What exactly did you mean when you said you weren't interested in girls?"

Wang Dong'er did not answer. Her face was all smiles, leaving Huo Yuhao utterly bewildered.

After classes ended that afternoon, Huo Yuhao went to sell Grilled Fish at the academy gates as usual.

Wang Dong'er never missed a day of helping him either.

Almost everyone around the academy knew the two of them by now.

"Huo Yuhao, give me a Grilled Fish." Xu Sanshi flicked a Silver Soul Coin over.

Wang Dong'er reached out and caught it.

"Oh? What's wrong? Has Young Master Xu run short of money lately? You've switched from Gold Soul Coins to Silver Soul Coins."

"Tch, I have plenty of money, but I'm not an idiot. One Silver Soul Coin is enough to buy two."

"Sure, Senior Xu. I'll pick out a big one for you."

After tasting Huo Yuhao's Grilled Fish, Xu Sanshi had also been hooked by its delicious flavor and came to buy one almost every day.

"Xu Sanshi!" A bright, lovely voice rang out.

Xu Sanshi shuddered when he heard it.

A young woman walked over from the side, and the students around her all stepped aside to make way.

She wore red, and her hair was red too. As she approached, she looked like a moving blaze.

"Ma Xiaotao, what's she doing here?"

Huo Yuhao did not recognize her, but Wang Dong'er did. She was Ma Xiaotao, who had attacked them that day and later become Huo Yuhao's sworn older sister.

Xu Sanshi turned around and called softly, "Sister Xiaotao."

At that moment, Xu Sanshi truly looked like a Black Tortoise, his head drawn into his shell.

"What are you doing here?"

"I... I'm eating Grilled Fish."

"Is it good? Get me one too."

"Sorry, all of today's Grilled Fish have already been reserved," Huo Yuhao said.

"Oh, really? Is anyone here looking to buy Grilled Fish?"

Ma Xiaotao looked at the people in line.

The next moment, they scattered.

If they could not eat it today, they could always come back tomorrow. If Ma Xiaotao set her sights on them, they would be dead meat.

Huo Yuhao was astonished. He had not expected Ma Xiaotao to have such an imposing presence.

"All right, I'll make you one. Five Copper Soul Coins each."

Ma Xiaotao flicked him a Gold Soul Coin. "Keep the extra money. I'll come by whenever I want some."

Wang Dong'er did not know why Ma Xiaotao knew Huo Yuhao.

But remembering that Huo Yuhao had an ultimate Ice Martial Soul, Wang Dong'er guessed that Ma Xiaotao might have approached him to suppress the evil fire within her. She immediately grew wary.

"Senior, are you a student of the Inner Court?"

Wang Dong'er suddenly asked, hoping to draw her attention away from Huo Yuhao.

Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly. "Yes."

"The Inner Court... I really want to become a student there too." Wang Dong'er put on a look of deep longing.

"Then work hard. You have to be very strong to become an Inner Court disciple."

"Your Grilled Fish is ready." Huo Yuhao handed Ma Xiaotao the fish he had just finished grilling.

Ma Xiaotao took the Grilled Fish and glanced at it. "You controlled the heat well. Are you a fire-attribute soul master?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

Ma Xiaotao said nothing more. She took a bite and found it quite delicious.

"All right, I'll come see you often from now on." With that, Ma Xiaotao left with her Grilled Fish.

"Yuhao, keep your distance from her from now on," Wang Dong'er said quietly.

"Why?"

"She was the person we ran into on Sea God Lake that day."

"Oh, it was her? Her flames really were powerful, but she doesn't seem like a bad person."

If not for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, they would both have been burned to ashes that day.

"I think she's dangerous. We'd better stay away from her."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

Whenever Wang Dong'er saw Ma Xiaotao now, she felt a sense of crisis. She had never felt that way when they spent time together in her previous life, so why was this happening? She simply could not figure it out.

When they returned to their dorm room that evening, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er took turns bathing.

After Huo Yuhao came out of the bathroom, Wang Dong'er patted her bed.

"Yuhao, come sit here."

Huo Yuhao sat on Wang Dong'er's bed without hesitation.

He found it strange too. Wang Dong'er was usually very particular about cleanliness and did not like anyone sitting on her bed.

Once, a student had come to visit and almost sat down on Wang Dong'er's bed.

Wang Dong'er had kicked him flying on the spot.

Yet nothing happened when Huo Yuhao sat on it.

"What is it?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Yuhao, let's try cultivating together today."

"Cultivate together? How?"

"Give me your hands."

Wang Dong'er held out both hands.

Huo Yuhao placed his hands on hers, pressing their palms together.

"Try circulating your soul power."

They circulated their soul power at the same time.

Huo Yuhao suddenly sensed the rich Radiant Aura emanating from Wang Dong'er. It felt wonderfully warm.

At the same time, Wang Dong'er sensed the aura coming from Huo Yuhao.

Their soul power blended together, and their cultivation speed increased dramatically.

This time, they mastered Haodong Power sooner than they had in their previous life.

Suddenly, the auras emanating from them changed.

Huo Yuhao's soul power turned icy cold, while Wang Dong'er's filled with a sense of strength.

Just then, Wang Dong'er let go of his hands.
