Huo Yuhao felt Ma Xiaotao's warm breath against his shoulder and asked with concern, "Sister Xiaotao, are you all right?"
"I-I'm fine. I just lost control a little. What about you, Little Yuhao?"
As though remembering something, Huo Yuhao ducked his head as far as he could, trying not to look at Ma Xiaotao. "...I'm fine too, Sister Xiaotao."
She had been too dazed to notice much before, but now that her reason had returned, Ma Xiaotao remembered what she had just done. It had clearly crossed the boundaries of normal interaction between a man and a woman.
And when she had hugged Little Yuhao earlier, that inexplicable extra sensation against her inner thigh...
The more Ma Xiaotao thought about it, the hotter her cheeks grew. After all, she was only a girl who had never even been in a relationship. But in front of Huo Yuhao, she could only feign composure and maintain her reserve as his older sister.
Besides, Senior Sister and Ling Luochеn both seemed to feel something for Huo Yuhao... For some reason, remembering this actually gave Ma Xiaotao a strange thrill.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, Tian Meng grew excited at the sight as well. "Who would've thought Yuhao had it in him? Too bad that woman doesn't have ultimate fire. Otherwise, if she could practice dual cultivation with Huo Yuhao, heh heh..."
Looking at Tian Meng's wicked grin, the Ice Empress said disdainfully, "Do you even understand? Ultimate fire would make it more dangerous. The situation now is just right. That woman's evil fire can be suppressed, and Yuhao can use the opportunity to temper his body. It's just..."
Remembering the sight of Huo Yuhao buried beneath those surging waves, the Ice Empress's eyes filled with jealousy, along with a faint trace of envy.
