I Want a Hug Too

I Want a Hug Too

"Success?" Huo Yuhao's delight was written all over his face. Like a whirlwind, he sprinted over to his third Soul Ring.

"Hmph, with my immense energy, as long as there's enough Rakshasa Divine Power, I could help you condense even nine Soul Rings!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm crossed his tiny arms over his chest, looking utterly arrogant.

"It took some time, but it's finally complete. However, before you absorb it, you'll need to prepare a spatial-attributed soul bone that's over ten thousand years old." Bibi Dong wiped the sweat from her forehead. Continuously consuming Rakshasa Divine Power to create God-bestowed Soul Rings for Huo Yuhao, replicating a Soul Ring of that level through divine authority without diminishing its Million Year quality, was no easy task for her. She couldn't exactly split Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Million Year Soul Ring into four two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year Soul Rings. That would be far more trouble than it was worth.

The limit of what Bibi Dong could do was create Huo Yuhao's second through fifth Soul Rings. Based on the innate Simulation trait of the ice silkworm race, his second Soul Ring replicated a Million Year Soul Ring. It was also Huo Yuhao's most practical and insidious exclusive skill from the original storyline.

As for the third through fifth soul skills Huo Yuhao had in the original Worldline—Group Weakening, Mental Confusion, and Mental Replication—they were not particularly useful. Mental Replication, in particular, had almost only ever replicated Xu Sanshi's Profound Nether Swap. Thus, Huo Yuhao had never intended to obtain those lackluster skills according to the original work.

"A spatial-attributed soul bone over ten thousand years old..." Huo Yuhao's face darkened. If something like that appeared at auction, the final price would be at least ten million Gold Soul Coins, and even then, it would be the kind of item with a price but no market. Still, he understood just how important this Soul Ring skill was.

"That girl from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might have connections. Why don't you ask her?" Bibi Dong gestured toward the outside of the Sea of Spirit, signaling for Huo Yuhao to set his sights on her.

"Fine..." Huo Yuhao was helpless. He had just had a major falling-out with the three girls over renting the house, but with his always-do-as-he-pleased personality, even if he had to do it all over again, he would still act the same way.

"Come back and absorb this third Soul Ring once you've obtained the soul bone. I'll continue making your fourth Soul Ring first." Bibi Dong dismissed him.

He would deal with tomorrow's matters tomorrow. Huo Yuhao was tired as well. After leaving the Sea of Spirit, he simply drifted straight into sleep.

What he did not know was that Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er, lying in the other bed, both had red-rimmed eyes.

The reason was simple. Wu Feng, who had directly used Huo Yuhao as a body pillow, had seen her stagnant Soul Power grow rapidly amid the storm of natural energy. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be able to rise another rank tomorrow.

Watching Wu Feng's blissful expression, Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er regretted it so badly their guts turned green.

We want hugs too!

It was a sleepless night.

Bright sunlight streamed through the window and into the room, shining over the still-youthful faces of the boys and girls. Huo Yuhao found it somewhat glaring, so he groggily awoke from a deep sleep. Then he realized that half his body seemed to be buried in something soft, and he could not pull himself away from it.

The morning breeze brushed past him, carrying a faint maidenly fragrance into his nose. Then one side of his cheek began to itch. Huo Yuhao subconsciously turned his head, only to meet a charming, lovely face. His lips touched somewhere soft and moist, and as they parted slightly, a breath that ignited hormones washed over him.

What was going on? Huo Yuhao felt as though his brain could no longer keep up. Fortunately, he was a soul master with a spiritual-type martial soul, and everything that had happened in the room last night replayed backward through his memories.

After Wu Feng had climbed onto his bed, he had simply fallen asleep, too lazy to pay attention to these pampered girls. Then he had seen Wu Feng directly use him as a body pillow before drifting off.

Yet that was not even the most explosive part. Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er seemed to have exchanged looks for a while, then they too climbed onto his bed, piling on top of him like a human tower...

What the hell? Have they never touched a man before? How could they be this desperate?

Even when Huo Yuhao had been in the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Yu, who had been quite fond of him, had never done anything like this.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly turned his head away, though he did not forget to guiltily lick his lips. He had to admit that although Wu Feng was straightforward and domineering, her figure was indeed exceptionally hot among girls her age. Of course, she was still far inferior to Zhongli Yu. That was what Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

Perhaps Huo Yuhao's vigorous movements had awakened the sleeping girl. Wu Feng finally stirred awake, and the first thing she saw was Huo Yuhao, who had woken up and forcibly turned his head away.

Wu Feng's little face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple. She remembered what had happened last night. Oh heavens, how could she have been so bold? She hurriedly turned her head, only to discover that Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er were nowhere in the room. They had presumably left early in the morning.

"Huo! Yu! Hao!" Wu Feng glared at Huo Yuhao's innocent-looking profile as he stared out the window, calling his name one syllable at a time in utter embarrassment and anger.

"What? You took advantage of me, and now you want to get rough with me?" Without even turning around, Huo Yuhao shamelessly played the rogue. When dealing with these overly delicate little girls, ignoring them was the best method.

"You..." Wu Feng had just been about to berate him when she was shocked to discover that, with the help of Huo Yuhao's strange physique, her Soul Power had successfully risen by a rank. She was now rank twenty-six. Such progress was practically miraculous. If she had another month of nights like that, she was confident she could break through to rank thirty directly!

But...

Just then, Huo Yuhao slowly sat up in bed. Still bleary-eyed, he yawned and said, "It's getting late. Fine, I'll take the loss. You should get up."

"You were obviously the one who took advantage of me! And now you're acting like I disgust you!" Wu Feng's beautiful eyes flickered as though she were considering something. Then, with an unhappy expression, she directly pushed Huo Yuhao back onto the bed. Her face reddened once more at the same time.

Their eyes met. It was also the first time Wu Feng had looked Huo Yuhao directly in the eye like this. The boy's hair was slightly messy, while his handsome yet sunny face carried a faintly ethereal air. His lazy eyes were filled with the pride of someone accustomed to standing high above others, possessing a fatal attraction for a young girl in the first bloom of love.

Perhaps this guy was the man destined for her!

"What are you trying to do?" Seeing Wu Feng's breathing grow more and more hurried, Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, and a strange feeling instantly surged into his mind.

Please no, you violent dragoness!

"You bastard, I'll show you what it means to despise me!" Seeing the faint panic in Huo Yuhao's expression, Wu Feng felt smug. She tightly wrapped her arms around Huo Yuhao's neck, suddenly lowered her head, and forcefully sealed his lips with hers. Then her mind went blank.

Whatever. We've already hugged, and we've already slept together. I don't care anymore.

"Yuhao, from now on, you're my role model. If I don't have you when I pursue Bingbing in the future, I'd rather reincarnate and start over!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm once again became an enormous third wheel.

Huo Yuhao went numb. It seemed he really had been struck by a peach blossom calamity. There was no saving him.

Wu Feng's lips were soft, and her movements were extremely clumsy. In this atmosphere, Huo Yuhao naturally could not push her away. Instead, he responded to her while his hands began to wander.

"Ah—"

Just then, Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er returned after going out to buy breakfast, and immediately witnessed this shocking scene...

Bang!

Huo Yuhao was thrown out.

"You're a little too much of a womanizer." At that moment, Bibi Dong's calm voice rang out in his mind, though it seemed to carry some strange emotion.

"My charm is too great. Can't be helped." Huo Yuhao rubbed the tip of his nose, which Wu Feng had just bumped sore, looking thoroughly shameless.

"If they found out that you're the Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son, they'd probably regret it, wouldn't they?" Bibi Dong sneered, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in her words.

"Holy Son? No." Huo Yuhao walked toward the inn's entrance. "I am who I am—an extraordinary Huo Yuhao."

As he spoke, he slowly spread his arms and faced the clear sky, assuming a posture of enjoyment.

It had truly been a long time since he had basked in the sun. During that year beneath the Holy Spirit Cult, there had only been damp, gloomy stone walls.

"I suppose all three of them will have close ties with you from now on. Do you know why?" Bibi Dong continued to mock Huo Yuhao, leaving him in suspense.

"Why?" Huo Yuhao was puzzled as well. The original Huo Yuhao had also attracted girls such as Ning Tian, but that had been based on his nearly monstrous talent and true strength. The current Huo Yuhao had not displayed that kind of strength.

"Your Half-Life Affinity Physique. After Tian Meng fused with you, its immense Life Energy and World Origin Energy fundamentally changed your physique. After a year of tempering in the Blood Pool, you've already risen above everyone your age. Once you successfully obtain the Gold of Life and merge it into your Spiritual Eye in the future, you'll be able to fully evolve into a true Life Affinity Physique."

A Life Affinity Physique? Was that the passive ability of some useless salted fish? Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin. Since this concept did not appear until Douluo IV, only he and Bibi Dong knew about it at present.

"Everyone who lives around you will be enhanced because your body naturally absorbs Life Energy."

"Originally, your Half-Life Affinity Physique would not naturally absorb the life energy of heaven and earth. The reason for that pull is actually because I've been guiding it within your Sea of Spirit to nourish your Soul Rings."

"So, until all of my first five Soul Rings are completed, I'll be able to absorb Life Energy on my own?" After thinking it over briefly, Huo Yuhao understood the whole sequence of events. "That's why they're willing to get close to me—to benefit from the Life Energy!"

"That should have been the case." Bibi Dong gave the suddenly enlightened Huo Yuhao a calm glance. Yet there was something she did not say aloud.

Only girls understood that when someone truly began to like another person, the look in their eyes was different.

It was hard to say about Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er, but Wu Feng and Saintess Zhongli Yu had clearly already planted Huo Yuhao's image in their hearts.

I was too busy tonight, so the promised five updates came late! Tomorrow is Monday and I have work, so I'll return to the usual two updates a day. Still, I'll keep stocking up chapters and pick a good day for a big release!
