Huo Yuhao, three bumps on his head, led the three girls to the counter to pay the rent.
Apparently, Shrek City's landlords were all the sort who never got up early without profit. Rent had to be paid one month in advance, a full thirty Gold Soul Coins. Even outside the city, that price would have been outrageously high.
Wherever Ning Tian and the other two went, they drew countless eyes. Though the three of them were still young, they already had the makings of peerless beauties. Wu Feng in particular, with her fiery temperament, had already filled out nicely. Ever since Huo Yuhao brought them to the payment counter in the first-floor lobby, everyone else's eyes had remained fixed on the girls.
Each of the three had her own distinct charm. Wu Feng had the best figure among them; her pink fitted leather outfit outlined her lovely curves, making her impossible to look away from. Ning Tian was the most heroic-looking of the three. As the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had been taught from childhood to cultivate her poise and bearing, and she exuded an aura of noble aloofness. Compared to the other two, Nanmen Yun'er was delicate and alluring in every smile and frown. Her dark green eyes were full of gentleness, perfectly embodying the saying that girls were made of water.
The clerk behind the lobby counter wore a strange expression. Huo Yuhao had booked the last remaining double suite with the three girls, yet not a single one of those stunning beauties had voiced any objection. It left him with endless room for imagination.
Young people these days...
As Huo Yuhao finished booking the suite and walked toward the girls, countless single men in the lobby howled inwardly. Why did a guy like that get to have three beauties like them all to himself?
Under the blazing stares of everyone in the lobby, all three girls flushed and hurried after him. As for Huo Yuhao, he rather enjoyed those looks. He had dared to grope Zhongli Yu in front of countless young talents in the lawless Holy Spirit Cult. What were these sour scholars who only dared to think, but not act, compared to that?
There were not that many fools in this world. Although Huo Yuhao looked young, those with sharp eyes could sense a hidden aura about him, like that of a ferocious beast. If they made an enemy of him, the consequences would be unthinkable.
The suite was not large, with two beds inside. Naturally, the three girls could not squeeze onto one bed. Ning Tian and the other two immediately exchanged glances with red faces. In the end, Ning Tian stepped forward and said, "Huo Yuhao, I'll find you a blanket. You sleep on the floor."
Huo Yuhao was not about to indulge her. He swept a disdainful gaze over Ning Tian's flat chest. "Little beans, stay if you want. This rent was paid by me."
"You..." Wu Feng was about to explode, but Nanmen Yun'er hurriedly pulled her back.
"One of you can sleep on the floor. It's still cleaner than the academy dorms. Also, don't come near my bed. I'm a clean freak." Huo Yuhao waved them off in disgust, instantly making the three girls want to turn around and return to the academy.
With their status, how could they possibly sleep on the floor? Even Ning Tian could not hold back any longer. "Huo Yuhao, are you even a man?"
"No, I'm not a man. I'm just a boy. Don't you dare have any improper thoughts about me." Huo Yuhao's retort sent Ning Tian's blood pressure soaring. She plopped down on the bed by the window.
"Yuhao, I'm impressed. Is this what they call playing hard to get?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind at just the right moment.
Bibi Dong said nothing. She was the only one in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit directly connected to his thoughts. After a year together, she understood him quite well.
Simply put, Huo Yuhao was the sort who acted bold and lustful in everyday life, and whose conduct was quite uninhibited, but when things truly became serious, his heart rejected it. Otherwise, why was Zhongli Yu, whom the Holy Spirit Cult had already designated as his wife, still pure to this day?
These three girls might have the makings of beauties, but compared to Zhongli Yu's natural allure, they still fell far short.
The reason Huo Yuhao had become this way was naturally the self-reproach and guilt he carried from his previous life toward the one he had loved. The girl who had suffered online abuse had leapt from a high-rise right before his eyes. Huo Yuhao had failed to catch anything, and in that moment, his heart had been completely sealed away.
In the end, he silently walked down a road of no return.
No matter the world, beasts like Qian Xunji existed.
It was already very late. Through the window, they could see Shrek City's lively nightscape. It was impossible to return to Shrek Academy at this hour, so Ning Tian and the other two could only swallow their anger.
Just as Huo Yuhao had said, he truly was a clean freak. After washing up in the bathroom, he even used Soul Power to disinfect his bed in front of the three girls, making Ning Tian briefly feel that even her bedroom in the sect was not as clean as his bed.
Girls never took a short time bathing. Whenever one of them entered the bathroom, the other two had to keep watch against Huo Yuhao in case he accidentally barged in.
The facts proved that the three girls had overthought things. After sitting cross-legged on his bed and cultivating for more than two hours, Huo Yuhao simply fell backward and lay down, as if the three of them held absolutely no attraction for him.
What a joke. Huo Yuhao had lived two lives, and his soul was that of an adult. How could he possibly be interested in eleven- or twelve-year-old girls? He was not like Great God-King Tang, whose wife needed to be raised from childhood.
"What do we do?" Ning Tian and the other two soon discovered miserably that three girls simply could not fit on one bed. If they lay on their sides, it might barely work, but Wu Feng clearly did not fall within the bounds of normal logic.
If anyone rolled over in her sleep, the girls on either side might fall off.
"You two sleep. I'm not sleeping. Tomorrow, I'll get a clean dorm room sorted out at the academy!" Wu Feng was so angry she was nearly in tears. She stood up as she spoke, never expecting Huo Yuhao to be so lacking in manliness. He was sleeping in the same room as three beauties like them, yet he would not even lie on the floor.
Putting herself in his shoes, she did not want to sleep on the floor either.
Wu Feng shot a vicious glare at Huo Yuhao's bed. Huo Yuhao was thin and not very tall; even if he spread himself out like a starfish, there was more than enough room.
They had spent all day running around the city and were exhausted. How could they still sit there cultivating? Looking at Huo Yuhao sleeping so comfortably, an utterly crazy thought suddenly rose in Wu Feng's mind.
No longer caring about her image, Wu Feng lay down directly beside Huo Yuhao under Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er's shocked gazes, then yanked half of his blanket over herself.
"What are you doing?" Huo Yuhao reacted like a startled bird. He hurriedly hugged his arms to himself and scooted toward the edge of the bed.
"I don't care anymore. I'm going to sleep!" Wu Feng viciously raised her sexy long leg, pressed it down over Huo Yuhao's lower body, and directly claimed half the bed.
"Don't! I'm a clean freak. You smell like gunpowder. Stay away from me!" Huo Yuhao immediately let out a miserable cry.
"I haven't even complained about you being a scrawny little bean sprout!" As though she were deliberately defying him, Wu Feng gritted her teeth and raised a hand to pin Huo Yuhao to the bed.
"Molestation—mmph..." Just as Huo Yuhao was about to shout, the furious Wu Feng yanked up the blanket and pressed it over his head.
After doing all that, Wu Feng panted heavily. Then, as if remembering something, she hurriedly turned around and saw Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er staring with their jaws practically on the floor.
Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er could only silently give her a thumbs-up.
"Pah, what's so special about that? He's just a bean sprout..." Wu Feng said stubbornly, her face red.
The three stared at one another for a long while. When Huo Yuhao did not struggle, Wu Feng worried that he might suffocate and hurriedly lifted the blanket.
"Huff..."
Huo Yuhao had actually fallen asleep. Since he could not resist, he might as well enjoy it. With Bibi Dong and Brother Sky Dream in his Sea of Spirit, he was not afraid of what Wu Feng and the other two might do to him.
Brother Sky Dream was immediately heartbroken. At your age, at your stage of life, how can you sleep? How can you actually fall asleep?
Freshly washed, Huo Yuhao carried a pleasant scent mixed with the fragrance of bathing products, and Wu Feng, lying beside him, could not help moving closer.
Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er were exhausted as well, and one after another they slipped into light sleep. Since Wu Feng did not mind, they would let her be!
Just as Wu Feng was preparing to fall asleep like that, a faint suction force suddenly spread from within Huo Yuhao's body, instantly jolting awake Wu Feng, who was right next to him.
"What is this?" Ning Tian and the other two, who had been in light sleep, also woke up one after another. They could sense endless natural energy from heaven and earth gathering toward Huo Yuhao's forehead. Although the pull was weak, as Soul Masters, they were exceptionally sensitive to this sort of energy.
"Feng, maintain a half-asleep cultivation state." Ning Tian made a prompt decision. The mysterious Huo Yuhao undoubtedly possessed some special physique that could naturally attract the energy of heaven and earth. For those of them lying so close to him, this was undoubtedly a stroke of fortune.
To be cleansed by such pure Life Energy was something Ning Tian had never even dared dream of.
Wu Feng, lying beside Huo Yuhao, naturally gained the greatest benefit. Pure natural energy flowed through her delicate body, making her feel much lighter. At that moment, she even abandoned all restraint, simply reaching out to wrap her arms around Huo Yuhao's neck, pressing her face against his shoulder, and falling into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, the instigator behind all of this, Bibi Dong, examined a pale white soul ring faintly marked with golden patterns in satisfaction within the Sea of Spirit. Yes, Huo Yuhao's third soul ring had finally been completed.
Seeing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wearing a broad, auntie-like grin, Bibi Dong could not help feeling curious. What had happened?
⊙(◇)?
"What a sin!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm viciously twisted his fat body.
Guess what Yuhao's third soul skill is. Please bookmark and recommend. Thanks!
