Chapter 94: Sleeping
Aotian stood there, deep in thought.
In the original plot, it was Xiao Wu pestering Tang San to go shopping that led him to encounter that crystal slab. But now, without Xiao Wu, Tang San still managed to come here and take the slab that could be used to make Dragon Beard Needles. This intrigued Aotian.
Was this a coincidence, or was it fated? Could Tang San truly be the Child of Destiny? But what was destiny, and did such a thing truly exist? Even at Aotian's current realm, he couldn't fathom it. This was one of the reasons he was interested in staying by Tang San's side.
Although he still couldn't tell if destiny existed, at his current realm, he could faintly perceive the fortune on a person. Fortune was a profoundly mysterious concept, and one of its common manifestations was luck. People with good luck possessed a richer fortune. The manifestations of fortune didn't stop there; it would also present itself as various fortuitous opportunities.
Undoubtedly, Tang San's fortune was much richer than that of ordinary people.
Aotian had also observed the fortune of Xiao Wu, Gu Yuena, Bibi Dong, and the others. Originally, their fortune was far less than Tang San's, but after spending a long time with Aotian, their fortunes gradually began to grow richer. Aotian understood that the changes in the girls' fortunes were because of him, as he was also a person of great fortune; otherwise, he wouldn't have transmigrated here and cultivated to his current realm.
"Aotian, what are you spacing out for?" Xiao Wu stood on her tiptoes and patted Aotian's shoulder.
"Nothing. Where else do you all want to go?" Aotian asked with a smile.
Xiao Wu pointed at an enormous building in the distance and said excitedly, "That building is very peculiar. Let's go check it out."
It was an elliptical building, reaching a height of over a hundred meters. Its mere appearance gave off a feeling of heaviness and oppression. Xiao Wu had never seen such a building before, so she was naturally quite excited.
As the group walked in that direction, Zhu Zhuqing said, "That's the Great Spirit Arena."
"What is the Great Spirit Arena?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Zhu Zhuqing was a little surprised that Xiao Wu didn't know, but she still patiently explained, "The Great Spirit Arena is a place for Martial Soul battles—in other words, where Soul Masters fight. Soul Masters can register there for sparring matches, life-and-death battles, and so on. A Great Spirit Arena only exists in cities of the main city level or higher, symbolizing the power and prosperity of a city, or even a nation."
Only the Two Great Empires had this kind of Soul Fighting Arena; Spirit Hall did not, so it was normal that Xiao Wu wouldn't know.
"Can we go in and watch then?" Xiao Wu asked expectantly.
"Of course. The Great Spirit Arena sells tickets. As long as you buy a ticket, you can go in and watch. The battles inside are also divided into many tiers, and the ticket prices for different tiers are different," Zhu Zhuqing explained.
"Watching other people fight sounds like fun! Let's hurry!" Xiao Wu excitedly pulled Zhu Zhuqing forward and ran off.
...
It wasn't until evening that the four returned to the hotel.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's faces were still a bit pale, as if they had been startled. They had watched many battles inside the Great Spirit Arena. Later, Xiao Wu had suggested watching a life-and-death battle, and the bloody scene had terrified them.
During dinner, while Aotian and Gu Yuena ate with relish, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had no appetite. They only ate a little before they couldn't take another bite.
After dinner, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from the adjacent room. Dai Mubai and two girls left, chatting and laughing.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but glance at Zhu Zhuqing, finding her expression very calm, with nothing unusual.
"I'm going to take a bath." Zhu Zhuqing stood up and walked into the bathroom.
"She should be fine now," Xiao Wu said.
Afterward, Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu took their turns bathing. When Xiao Wu finally emerged, Zhu Zhuqing was already on the bed, cultivating.
Zhu Zhuqing hadn't heard the deal Aotian and Xiao Wu made in the corner earlier, but Gu Yuena had. She was now on the same bed as Zhu Zhuqing, while Aotian lay comfortably on the other bed.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before slowly shuffling over to Aotian's bedside.
"What are you doing standing there like a statue? Get up here. Are you afraid I'll eat you?" Aotian asked with a laugh.
Xiao Wu was wearing light pajamas. She usually wore nightgowns, but tonight, to prevent Aotian from acting on his "beastly nature," she had changed into pajama pants. At least, it gave her a greater sense of security. Even the loose pants couldn't conceal her long, slender legs. Xiao Wu's legs were very long and straight; when she stood up, not a single gap could be seen between them. Fresh from her bath, her skin was pinkish and exuded warmth. Her natural body fragrance was enhanced, more potent than usual. The girls around Aotian all possessed a unique body fragrance. Unlike Gu Yuena's delicate scent, Xiao Wu had a milky fragrance.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment but ultimately climbed onto the bed obediently.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, parting her lips as if to say something, but in the end, she remained silent. After all, they were a couple, so it wasn't her place to comment.
*Aotian and Xiao Wu, they won't... do 'that' tonight, will they?* The thought involuntarily popped into Zhu Zhuqing's mind. Although she hadn't experienced such things, when a couple slept together, wouldn't something happen?
Gu Yuena lay beside Zhu Zhuqing, watching Xiao Wu with amusement in her eyes.
Xiao Wu burrowed under the quilt, but she lay a considerable distance from Aotian, right at the edge of the bed. Although back in Nuoding Academy, she would often roll over next to Aotian in her sleep, that was when she was a child and still asleep. Now, she had grown up, and with Bibi Dong's countless warnings, she naturally didn't dare to get too close to Aotian in such an intimate atmosphere.
"Why are you lying so far away?" Aotian said, reaching out to pull Xiao Wu into his embrace and resting his arm on her.
Xiao Wu let out a startled cry and struggled, abruptly sitting up.
Her whole body grew scorching hot, and she stammered, "I... I still need to cultivate."
With that, she scooted away from Aotian and sat cross-legged, pretending to cultivate. Aotian could clearly see her body trembling slightly, and her closed eyelids were fluttering nonstop; it was impossible for her to enter a state of cultivation.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Wu in confusion. Weren't they a couple? Why such a strong reaction?
"Why so diligent today? Didn't you used to dislike cultivating?" Aotian asked with a smile.
"Who says I don't like cultivating?" Xiao Wu glared at Aotian, huffing indignantly.
Aotian shook his head and paid her no more mind.
The night deepened, and Zhu Zhuqing finally lay down, exhausted.
Aotian turned off the light, and Xiao Wu finally gathered her courage to lie down.
Aotian reached out again and pulled her over.
This time, Xiao Wu didn't shriek or struggle; her body just became scorching hot and rigid.
Aotian felt a pang of nostalgia for this feeling. It had been many years since he had held Xiao Wu like this while they slept. When Xiao Wu was a child, she was plump, so every time she rolled over next to him, he would hold her as they slept. Now, her body had blossomed, losing that childish plumpness but becoming much more sensual.
Aotian took a deep breath of the fragrance from Xiao Wu's body and said, "Don't move. Don't overthink it. Just sleep."
Not sensing any untoward movements from Aotian, Xiao Wu's body gradually relaxed, and a trace of sweetness welled up in her heart.
