Huo Yuhao Burned with Heat-She Was a Girl After All

"It's about ready. How do you want to eat it?"

"It's too hot right now. Let it cool a little," Wang Dong'er said. Whenever she had eaten whale rubber before, she had waited until it cooled and was just about to solidify.

"Then you'll have to be quick. Once it cools down, it'll solidify again."

As he spoke, Tang De took out a jar and poured the whale rubber into it.

"This jar will keep it warm for a while. You have to finish the whale rubber within an hour."

Huo Yuhao accepted the jar. "Thank you, Uncle. We'll eat it as soon as we get back."

"All right. If there's nothing else, I'll be off. Stay safe."

After saying goodbye to Tang De, the two headed toward their dormitory.

"I never thought Dai Huabin would actually send people to hunt us down. He couldn't beat us head-on, so he sent people behind our backs. What a despicable bastard." Huo Yuhao was rather angry.

"We really should have left one alive. Then we'd have had evidence to report him to the academy."

Wang Dong'er shook her head. "Dai Huabin is a legitimate son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and he has an older brother in the Inner Court. Getting him expelled won't be that easy."

"And if Dai Huabin insists he didn't hire them, there's nothing the academy can do. So it doesn't matter whether we left anyone alive. As long as we both know who's pulling the strings behind the scenes, that's enough."

"Then should we teach Dai Huabin a lesson?"

"Of course. But let's wait a little longer and find an opportunity."

Once they returned to the dormitory, they hurried to wash up. When those people had exploded earlier, quite a bit of blood had splashed onto them, and it stank.

"Wang Dong, why don't I wash with you?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao started to undress and head into the bathroom.

"No! Stay outside. You can come in after I'm done."

Wang Dong'er hurriedly locked the door. If Huo Yuhao came in and saw her body, she would be in trouble.

Wang Dong'er thought it was about time to tell Huo Yuhao her gender. If she kept hiding it, their relationship couldn't progress any further.

After washing up, Huo Yuhao took out the jar. The whale rubber inside was still warm, but it would solidify if he waited much longer.

Huo Yuhao tore off a piece with his fingers and put it into his mouth.

How could he describe it? It was very fragrant, with a soft, sticky texture, but it wasn't especially tasty.

"Wang Dong, have some too."

"You eat it. I had plenty before. Just looking at it makes me feel a little sick now."

"But this is ten-thousand-year whale glue. It's different from the thousand-year whale glue you used to eat."

"No need. Have some more yourself. You might gain a few levels of soul power."

Huo Yuhao thought Wang Dong'er had a point, so he began eating it in large mouthfuls.

After the whale rubber entered his stomach, Huo Yuhao felt his body begin to heat up, with warmth flowing from his abdomen into his limbs.

His skin turned red all over, as though he were about to be cooked through.

Huo Yuhao stopped eating. He felt so hot that he could barely endure it anymore.

"Wang Dong, I'm so hot. I can't take it anymore."

Huo Yuhao pulled his shirt straight off.

The skin all over his body was red, and his sweat evaporated almost as soon as it appeared.

"Yuhao, hurry and meditate. Absorb its medicinal power."

Yet Huo Yuhao's skin kept reddening, his temperature continued to rise, and even his consciousness began to blur.

Wang Dong'er frowned slightly at the sight. This had never happened when she ate whale rubber before. Could it be because this was ten-thousand-year whale glue?

There was another reason as well. Whale rubber replenished yang energy, which balanced perfectly with Wang Dong'er's female body.

Huo Yuhao, however, was male. With nothing to balance that yang energy, it ran wild inside him.

Huo Yuhao rolled restlessly on the bed.

"Yuhao, are you all right?"

Wang Dong'er grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm and found that his body was frighteningly hot.

Huo Yuhao suddenly grabbed Wang Dong'er and hugged her tightly.

"Wang Dong, I'm so hot."

Little Yuhao suddenly stood at attention.

Wang Dong'er's eyes widened.

"You bastard!"

Huo Yuhao clung tightly to Wang Dong'er, desperately drawing in the coolness from her body.

"Yuhao, snap out of it!"

Huo Yuhao's hands wandered everywhere, even reaching inside Wang Dong'er's clothes.

Wang Dong'er hadn't expected things to reach this point so suddenly, and she began to panic.

She locked Huo Yuhao in a firm hold, preventing him from moving. She didn't want to go that far so soon.

But Wang Dong'er had underestimated Huo Yuhao's strength. With a roll, he pinned her beneath him instead.

"Yuhao, don't!"

By then, however, Huo Yuhao had completely lost awareness and had no idea what he was doing.

The heat inside Huo Yuhao's body had been released once, but the medicinal effects of the ten-thousand-year whale glue had not yet fully faded.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to go further, Wang Dong'er shouted, "Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, cool him down right now, or I'll kill him!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, who had been watching the show inside Huo Yuhao's body, were startled. They hadn't expected Wang Dong'er to call out the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's name directly.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm no longer dared to keep watching. He knew Wang Dong'er was a girl and had originally wanted to let Huo Yuhao take a few liberties, but taking things too far would only backfire.

So the Ice Empress intervened, releasing cold air from the Soul Bone to counterbalance the heat inside Huo Yuhao.

Soon, Huo Yuhao's temperature dropped, and his limp body slumped onto Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness—Huo Yuhao had nearly landed himself in real trouble.

Tang San had placed a restriction on Wang Dong'er's body. Huo Yuhao couldn't touch her at all.

Wang Dong'er pushed Huo Yuhao off her and went to wash again. She, too, was covered in sweat.

After washing up, Wang Dong'er returned and looked at Huo Yuhao, who lay fast asleep on the bed. She really wanted to give him a beating.

After what had happened, Huo Yuhao should be able to guess she was a girl once he woke up.

Wang Dong'er suddenly remembered something important. Huo Yuhao should have eaten whale rubber in their previous life too. What had happened then?

She remembered that Ma Xiaotao had taken Huo Yuhao away to help suppress her evil fire.

And Ma Xiaotao's flames happened to be capable of melting whale rubber.

Didn't that mean what had just happened had also happened once between Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao?

Wang Dong'er's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Thank goodness. Thank goodness she had driven Ma Xiaotao away this time.

Early the next morning, Huo Yuhao woke up.

He sat bolt upright and turned to look at Wang Dong'er lying on the bed.

His memories of the previous night returned bit by bit. He remembered almost everything.

"What... what on earth did I do?"

Huo Yuhao couldn't believe he had done something like that to Wang Dong.

No, wait. He vaguely remembered touching something different last night.

Wang Dong wasn't a boy?

This... how could this be...?

Huo Yuhao stared at Wang Dong'er in disbelief. She was actually a girl.

He suddenly recalled all the little moments they had shared, and everything fell into place.

Huo Yuhao wanted to die. What occupied his thoughts most now was how he could possibly explain himself to Wang Dong.

If Uncle Tang De and the people of Clear Sky Castle found out, they would probably hack him into eight pieces and grind his bones to dust.
