Chapter 223.2. Intimacy
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, “Yes—what’s inside is absolutely more important than your beauty. I’ll still love you even if you become ugly in the future.”
Wang Dong’er rebuked him. “You’re the one that’s going to get ugly.” Even though her tone sounded angry, there was only sweetness and warmth in her eyes.
There wasn’t much light in the room. She rested her cheeks in her hands and planted her elbows on the table while she watched Huo Yuhao eat.
“I investigated Wang Qiu’er’s situation a little more. Her soul power is around Rank 60, which is quite impressive, considering she isn’t even twenty yet. She doesn’t have her sixth soul ring yet, and I’ve heard from vice-Dean Cai that the inner courtyard will organize a soul beast hunt soon, where they’ll gather all the inner courtyard students at a bottleneck and venture into the Great Star Dou Forest. I imagine she will be participating—don’t you need your fifth soul ring for your Spirit Eyes? Let’s tag along.”
Huo Yuhao glanced at her suspiciously and said, “Tag along? What for? Do you still want to spy on her?”
Wang Dong’er said determinedly, “I still feel like there’s something wrong with her, but I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe it’s just because we look too alike—we’re almost carbon copies! It wouldn’t hurt to monitor her for a little bit longer, and I also want to see how she’s like as a person.”
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “It’s me who has to go anyway. You don’t even need a soul ring, why do you want to go?”
Wang Dong’er giggled and said, “I have to protect you! We have martial soul fusion skills, so we’ll be a lot safer that way. Furthermore, you’re a member of the Sea God’s Pavilion now, and you’re the future heir of the academy. Shouldn’t we be protecting you with everything we have? I’m going to risk my own safety to protect you.”
Huo Yuhao had finished two bowls of porridge by now. “Alright, alright. It’s always nice to have a pretty girl to protect me. We can go, but it’s not easy to find a soul beast suitable for my Spirit Eyes! You know how difficult it’s always been to find spiritual-type soul beasts in the past, and I think we might just waste our time. My Ultimate Ice martial soul has five soul rings now, and if I can’t find a suitable spiritual-type soul ring, my Ice Jade Empress Scorpion might just become my main martial soul, so I’ll have to try my luck with my Spirit Eyes to find a suitable soul ring.”
