54: Chapter 54 Dong'er: I want to be cured of my internal heat too! Xiao Tao: Waiting in line…

In the corridor outside the door, a graceful figure silently came to a halt.

Wang Donger was wearing pajamas, clutching a pillow in her arms.

After returning to the room next door, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Every time she closed her eyes, the image of Ma Xiaotao staying in Huo Yuhao's room would appear in her mind.

Especially Ma Xiaotao's words, "I might not leave."

The more Wang Donger thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

Eventually, she decided to come over and take a look.

She had a perfectly valid excuse for herself.

She was just worried that the Evil Fire might spiral out of control and hurt Huo Yuhao; it was purely out of concern for a companion.

Anyone who thought otherwise was just being suspicious.

But before her hand could even touch the door, Ma Xiaotao's voice drifted from inside.

"Gently... Mmm..."

Wang Donger froze.

Immediately after, Huo Yuhao's voice rang out.

"It's already very gentle; it's you who keeps moving around."

"It's too cold there, change positions."

"I can't change; the Evil Fire is hidden right here."

"Then hold me tighter."

"Don't push your luck!"

"It was clearly you who told me to lean on you."

Wang Donger's grip on the pillow tightened slowly.

She lowered her head and looked at Huo Yuhao's door.

The door was closed.

Inside, two types of Soul Power, ice and fire, were constantly fluctuating, accompanied by the sound of the bed frame creaking gently.

Wang Donger felt her brain stuttering.

What is going on?

Did she come at such a bad time?

Why did Ma Xiaotao actually stay inside?

In the middle of the night!

A man and a woman alone!

And "hold me tighter"?

Wang Donger gritted her teeth and prepared to knock.

Ma Xiaotao's lowered voice came from the room again.

"Yuhao, are we almost there?"

"Almost, just one last time."

"Be gentler, this is my first time receiving this kind of treatment."

"I know, just relax."

"How can I relax? You're pressing too close."

"You were the one who leaned over, why are you blaming me?"

Wang Donger's hand, raised halfway, stopped.

Her temple twitched, and the pillow was already crumpled into a ball in her hand.

Inside the room, Huo Yuhao had no idea that someone was standing outside.

He had kept his Spiritual Detection on earlier, but as the treatment reached its final stage, he had used all his Mental Energy to observe the meridians inside Ma Xiaotao's body.

Those wisps of Evil Fire gathered together, forming a dark red orb of light.

"Sister Xiaotao, get ready."

"Come on."

"It might hurt."

"I can handle it."

"I'll count to three."

"Mmm."

"One."

"What about two?"

"It's already over."

"Huh?"

Just as Ma Xiaotao wanted to turn her head, the dark red orb of light was enveloped by Ultimate Ice.

The Phoenix Soul Spirit let out a low cry, and pure flames swept across.

The residual Evil Fire was instantly purified.

As the hot and cold Soul Power collided, Ma Xiaotao's body shuddered violently, and she fell backward.

Fearing she would fall off the bed, Huo Yuhao instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist.

With her back against Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao let out a long breath.

"That's much more comfortable."

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief: "The residual Evil Fire has been mostly cleared. Observe it for a few more days, and there shouldn't be any problems."

"Where is your hand?"

Huo Yuhao looked down.

He was still holding Ma Xiaotao's waist.

"An accident."

"I didn't tell you to let go."

"The treatment is over!"

"We can still chat even if it's over."

"Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"The night is long, what's the rush?"

"I'm in a rush to sleep."

"Want me to keep you company?"

"Forget it!"

"Are you disgusted by me?"

"This has nothing to do with disgust."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid Donger and the others will misunderstand."

Hearing this, Wang Donger, who was outside the door, felt her anger subside slightly.

At least he had some survival instinct.

Ma Xiaotao intentionally raised her voice.

"What would she misunderstand? We are completely innocent."

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched.

"Sister Xiaotao, put your clothes on first before talking about being innocent."

"Help me put them on."

"Put them on yourself!"

"My hands have no strength."

"When you grabbed my wrist earlier, you almost crushed my bones."

"Treatment aftereffects."

"What kind of aftereffect is that precise?"

"If I say there is, then there is."

"You're just forcing a new condition."

"Are you going to treat it or not?"

"Not treating it."

"Little Brother Yuhao, come on~"

Outside the door, Wang Donger's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.

She took a deep breath.

Stay calm.

Must stay calm; perhaps it's just normal treatment.

She couldn't lose her temper without confirmation.

That would make her look petty.

Wang Donger pressed her ear against the door, deciding to listen to one more sentence.

Inside the room, Huo Yuhao had already tossed Ma Xiaotao's outer garment to her.

"Put it on quickly and leave quickly."

"It's so late, where do you want me to go?"

"Go back to your own dormitory."

"My legs are weak."

"You were quite nimble when you flew over."

"The Evil Fire was just cleared, so my Soul Power is empty."

"I'll take you back."

"What if someone sees us?"

"Then walk yourself."

"I can't walk."

Huo Yuhao looked at her: "Then what do you want?"

Ma Xiaotao patted the bed.

"I'll just rest here for the night."

Huo Yuhao bounced up from the side of the bed.

"Impossible!"

"Why?"

"Donger lives right next door!"

"That's even better; we can eat together tomorrow morning."

"Sister Xiaotao, are you really not afraid of making a scene?"

"I'm just resting, I'm not doing anything else."

"You underestimate the gossip ability of Shrek Academy. If the news gets out tomorrow morning, Dean Yan Shaozhe will come to ask me when the wedding is by the afternoon."

Ma Xiaotao laughed: "Then will you hold one?"

"No!"

"I can even provide the dowry."

"This has nothing to do with the dowry!"

"A Spirit King with an Ultimate Spirit, a core disciple of the Inner Court, and I can even warm your bed—aren't these conditions good enough?"

"Stop acting crazy all of a sudden!"

Bang!

The dormitory door flew open inwards with a bang.

The wooden door slammed against the wall and rebounded heavily.

Wang Donger maintained her kicking posture, and the pillow in her arms had already fallen to the floor.

She first looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was sitting on the bed.

Her outer garment was only half on.

Her hair was also a bit messy.

Then, she looked at Huo Yuhao, who was standing by the bed.

His collar was loose.

The bed was also messy.

The room still held the water vapor from the mingling of ice and fire, adding a touch of ambiguity.

Wang Donger went silent.

Huo Yuhao also went silent.

Ma Xiaotao looked down at herself, then looked up at Wang Donger, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Donger, still not asleep this late?"

Wang Donger slowly retracted her leg.

"Did I interrupt you two?"

Huo Yuhao's scalp tingled: "No! Let me explain!"

"Explain what?"

"We were just treating the Evil Fire."

Wang Donger looked at Ma Xiaotao.

"Does treatment require taking off clothes?"

Ma Xiaotao nodded: "It facilitates contact."

"Does it require hugging?"

"It facilitates stabilizing the body."

"Does it require staying the night?"

"It facilitates monitoring the condition."

Wang Donger looked at Huo Yuhao again.

"Does it also require warming the bed?"

"That is definitely not required!"

Huo Yuhao replied quickly, "That was an additional service she proposed unilaterally, and I have already sternly refused!"

Ma Xiaotao clicked her tongue lightly.

"Little Brother Yuhao, you didn't say that earlier."

Huo Yuhao stared at her.

"Sister Xiaotao, one must have a conscience!"

"Isn't this sister's conscience big enough?"

She looked down at herself.

Wang Donger's fists had already clenched.

Huo Yuhao's vision went dark.

It's over.

Tonight, the difficulty of explaining this situation had upgraded from the tutorial level to a hell-mode dungeon.

Wang Donger bent down to pick up the pillow and closed the door.

Click.

The door lock clicked shut.

She placed the pillow on the table and flexed her wrists.

"Fine."

"Since you're doing treatment, I'll stay too."

Huo Yuhao asked tentatively: "Why are you staying?"

Wang Donger walked to the side of the bed and sat down with a thud.

"To supervise the treatment."

"It's already finished."

"Then for a follow-up check."

"Sister Xiaotao is already fine."

"I'm not fine."

Huo Yuhao was stunned: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Wang Donger stared at him and said, word by word:

"I have a lot of 'fire' in me right now too."

Ma Xiaotao smiled and patted the spot next to her.

"That's perfect, wait in line."

Wang Donger turned to look at her.

"Put your clothes on first."

"We're all girls, what are you afraid of?"

"Huo Yuhao is a man."

"You can pretend he doesn't exist."

Huo Yuhao couldn't take it anymore: "I'm still here!"

Wang Donger grabbed the pillow and threw it at him.

"Shut up!"

Huo Yuhao caught the pillow, looking completely innocent.

"What did I do wrong?"

Wang Donger sneered.

"Come, sit down."

"What for?"

"Aren't you good at treatment?"

Wang Donger sat on the bed and patted her own shoulder.

"Treat, my, Evil, Fire, properly tonight as well."

Outside the door, a flash of silver slipped quietly by.

Gu Yuena stood at the end of the corridor, a cryptic smile playing on her lips.
