All Grown Up

After leaving the competition venue Xu Xingyu quickly took Wang Dong'er back to the hotel and sent her to her assigned room.

Just as they arrived at the room, Xu Xingyu said calmly, "You don't need to pretend anymore, I can still tell."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er, who had been pretending to be unconscious, poked her head out from Xu Xingyu's arms and said, "Can't I enjoy this a little longer? I'm a key player in this competition!"

Xu Xingyu, with an affectionate look, patted her head and said, "Alright, Dong'er is the best. By the way, what was with that transformation of yours?"

"Oh, you mean that?" Wang Dong'er didn't immediately answer Xu Xingyu's question, but instead asked shyly, "How about me?"

"????" Xu Xingyu looked at his fiancée with a face full of question marks.

"What will I look like when I'm an adult?!" Wang Dong'er looked at Xu Xingyu. She was usually quite quick-witted, so why was she completely clueless about this kind of thing?

After hearing Wang Dong'er's explanation, he said without hesitation, "She's very beautiful, like a real goddess, but she's still not as good as Na'er."

Wang Dong'er was initially filled with pride when she heard the first half of the compliment, after all, it was her man praising her beauty. However, her face instantly fell when she heard the second half.

Gu Yuena, Gu Yuena, I know Gu Yuena is the most important person in your heart and the first person you established a relationship with, but could you please stop comparing me to her all the time?

Wang Dong'er was dissatisfied with her man's heartless remarks and broke free from his embrace. Then, under Xu Xingyu's surprised gaze, a blue-gold light appeared.

The Goddess of the Sea who had appeared on the competition stage before reappeared in front of Xu Xingyu.

Before Xu Xingyu could react, Wang Dong'er pulled Xu Xingyu into her arms. This time, she was going to let this blockhead really feel her charm!

Xu Xingyu really wanted to immerse herself in this moment, but now wasn't the time to do that!

In response, Xu Xingyu began to struggle in Wang Dong'er's arms. This was not because Xu Xingyu could not forcefully break free from Wang Dong'er's embrace, but because he was afraid of hurting her, so he could not use too much force.

However, during this process, he seemed to have unintentionally touched many things he shouldn't have, which caused Wang Dong'er to misunderstand.

Her face flushed red as she said, "It's not that Xingyu is impossible, it's just..."

However, Xu Xingyu turned her to stone. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Taking this opportunity, Xu Xingyu reluctantly broke free from Wang Dong'er's embrace and said, "So what's with this attitude of yours?"

Having witnessed her man's rock-hard head once again, Wang Dong'er recovered and said with a displeased look, "It's nothing serious. It's just that after I advanced to the fourth ring, I gained the power to freely use my bloodline power."

"It just automatically assumes this posture every time I use it, as if only in this posture can I perfectly utilize my bloodline power. At my current cultivation level, I can probably maintain it for about half an hour."

"Of course, if we borrow the power of this thing, the duration can be extended." After saying that, Wang Dong'er took out the necklace with the Sea-Calming Pearl that Xu Xingyu had given her earlier from her neck.

"I see," Xu Xingyu, suddenly realizing.

The main reason why Wang Dong'er did not have this ability in the original work is that she could not fully utilize the power of her Sea God and Asura God bloodlines, and could only passively use the power of the two.

Of course, another reason is that Tang San didn't want to share his power.

Although Tang San's position as Sea God has been revoked, he was once the Sea God, so the Sea God power of his bloodline descendants will not dissipate.

At the same time, because of Xu Xingyu, Wang Dong'er has fully activated the Asura God's Power the Sea God and the Asura God in her bloodline. Therefore, as her cultivation level increases, these two powers gradually begin to transform into Wang Dong'er's own power.

That is why Wang Dong'er will possess a small portion of the Sea God's authority after her transformation; however, with her current cultivation level, the power she can wield is limited.

In Xu Xingyu's estimation, Wang Dong'er could at most deal with Soul King and low-level Soul Emperor. If the enemy was Sea Soul Beast or a water-attribute being, she could completely overcome the opponent by ignoring Sea God.

All I can say is that with Wang Dong'er's current strength, she could directly apply to Shrek Academy to enter the Inner Court if she wanted.

However, just as Xu Xingyu was feeling gratified by Wang Dong'er's current strength, Wang Dong'er pulled him into her arms again without him noticing.

What's different this time is that Wang Dong'er didn't give Xu Xingyu any chance to struggle at all, and said, "Let's not discuss this for now. I have more important questions to ask."

"You can ask me questions, but could you please let go of me?" Xu Xingyu somewhat distressed.

Unfortunately, Xu Xingyu was starting to have difficulty breathing due to the pressure from the two peaks.

Wang Dong'er smiled sweetly and said, "No, what if you run away? Where will I go to cry?"

"Now that I'm an adult, can I experience a little of what Gu Yuena went through?"

Upon hearing Xu Xingyu immediately poked her head out from the mountain peak and asked, "How do you know I did it with Gu Yuena!?"

"That?" Wang Dong'er replied casually, "It's about that time you stayed overnight at the Shrek Branch's Spirit Contract Pagoda. I was planning to surprise you secretly by hiding in your closet, but I didn't expect you two to have so much fun."

At this moment, Xu Xingyu felt extremely awkward. Her lover's playful moment had been witnessed by another lover. She could only wonder if they hadn't already accepted the situation; would she have been killed long ago?

In response to Wang Dong'er's question, Xu Xingyu could only reply, "How about we wait a bit? Although your body is that of an adult now, no one knows if you might revert back halfway through due to excessive energy expenditure. Besides, you're not truly an adult yet, in theory!"

However, Wang Dong'er replied, "I've grown up since I saw you playing with Gu Yuena, so there's no need to worry about that. Besides, what I just said was just to inform you."

After saying that, Wang Dong'er started touching Xu Xingyu inappropriately, and Xu Xingyu could only shout, "Wait, Dong'er! Wait! Don't touch me there!"

Just then, an untimely voice rang out. "Looks like I've come at the wrong time?"

Gu Yuena stood at the doorway, watching her man and that philandering man.
