Snuggling in his Arms

Tang San nodded, "Teacher, I will find a way to inquire."

He was also curious about Ao Tian's formidable talent and astonishing wealth, wondering about the origin of his influence.

The dean said, "Isn't his family address on the Martial Soul Certificate? We just need to check the records to find out. Unfortunately, you were hoping to take Gu Yuena as your disciple, but it seems hopeless now."

The Grandmaster self-deprecatingly said, "Someone with that kind of genius, how could they look up to me, a theoretical master?"

...

On the way, Gu Yuena asked in confusion, "Senior Ao, that Grandmaster is just a waste. Why did you talk to him so much? And that one called 'Tang San,' you could blow him away in an instant. Why waste time suppressing your strength to fight him?"

Ao Tian sighed, "Gu Yuena, at my level, I can have anything I want at my fingertips. I value the process of doing things even more. As for the outcome, it doesn't matter, because I get the result I want. So, if I find something interesting, I'll do it without considering whether it's a waste of time, because time is worthless to me."

"Senior Ao's level is truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people," Gu Yuena also sighed.

Ao Tian reached out and touched her silver, silky hair, feeling its smoothness. He smiled and said, "Gu Yuena, when you have strength like mine one day, perhaps you'll also find simple yet interesting things to do."

As Ao Tian touched Gu Yuena's head, her world-altering face instantly turned crimson. As the Silver Dragon King, this was the first time she had experienced someone touching her head.

Although she had previously declared that she would give herself to Senior Ao, just being touched on the head made her feel extremely shy.

"Se... Senior Ao, you can just call me 'Na'er' or 'Yuena'," Gu Yuena said.

Ao Tian thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll call you 'Na'er.' You don't have to keep calling me 'Senior Ao.' Just call me Ao Tian."

"I... I dare not," Gu Yuena quickly said. "Senior is the ancestor of our Dragon Clan. How can I address you by your name?"

"But you've already called me that many times before," Ao Tian said, smiling at her.

"That's because... I was afraid it would attract attention," Gu Yuena explained.

"Even Xiao Wu dares to call me by my name directly, why don't you? It's settled, from now on, you're not allowed to call me 'Senior Ao' anymore," Ao Tian said.

Gu Yuena finally nodded and said, "Alright, Senior Ao."

...

Ao Tian: "..."

...

Dinner was still eaten in the cafeteria. In truth, whether Ao Tian and Gu Yuena ate or not didn't matter. Gu Yuena had previously claimed that she was almost starving, but it was just to appear pitiful in front of Ao Tian.

The main reason was Xiao Wu. Her cultivation level was still too low; currently, she only had the strength of a Spirit Master and needed to replenish her energy through food.

Since the competition, Tang San hadn't returned. It wasn't until evening, when everyone began to rest, that he appeared.

The bruises on his face from Ao Tian's beating had already faded. He had no smile on his face and didn't speak to anyone when he returned. He sat down and immediately began to practice.

Having been defeated by Ao Tian again today, he not only felt shame but also felt provoked.

Both of them had full innate soul power, why could Ao Tian cultivate to become a Spirit Grand Master, while he couldn't?

He was a disciple of the Tang Sect, and he even possessed the high-level internal martial art, the Mysterious Heaven Skill. There was no reason he should lose to a seven-year-old kid, especially one who had never trained before.

Having a high-level martial art, he still worked hard to cultivate. On the other hand, others never bothered to train, yet he still couldn't beat them. Even with the mentality of an adult, it was still hard for Tang San to accept this fact. He felt extremely unjust.

It was already nighttime, the dormitory lights were turned off, and in the darkness, Tang San opened his eyes, looking at Ao Tian and Xiao Wu's beds across from him.

On Xiao Wu's side,

Both Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena were sitting cross-legged. Xiao Wu was cultivating her soul power, while Gu Yuena was refining and absorbing the essence that Ao Tian had given her. She noticed that the closer she was to Ao Tian, the faster the refinement process. This pleasantly surprised her, and she thought to herself that this trip to the Nuoding Academy was indeed worthwhile.

Ao Tian had already laid down, closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing this scene, Tang San's inner dissatisfaction erupted once again, making it difficult for him to enter a state of cultivation.

After several failed attempts to cultivate properly, he decided to simply lie down and not bother with training.

In order to defeat Ao Tian, he had spent almost every night over the past year in training, with very little sleep.

Tonight, after deciding not to train, he surprisingly fell asleep quickly.

In a daze, Ao Tian felt a soft and warm body in his arms. He couldn't help but smirk, thinking that the restless little girl, Xiao Wu, had sleepwalked over to him again.

He didn't think too much of it and hugged her tightly. After all, Xiao Wu wouldn't wake up. This was a conclusion he had drawn after observing her many times.

It wasn't that he had any improper intentions towards Xiao Wu. After all, she was just a little girl. He just felt more comfortable sleeping with something to hold onto.

"Hmm... something seems off." Ao Tian still had his eyes closed, but his nose twitched.

This scent was obviously not from that little Xiao Wu. The texture also felt smoother than Xiao Wu's.

Ao Tian suddenly opened his eyes, jolted awake.

He looked down at his arms. The darkness couldn't hide his view, and he saw Gu Yuena curled up in his embrace, her big purple eyes shining brightly as she stared at him, unblinking.

"Ao... Tian," Gu Yuena whispered softly.

"How could it be you?" Ao Tian quickly let go of Gu Yuena.

If it were Xiao Wu, he could treat her as a little girl. But this was Gu Yuena.

He had once seen Gu Yuena's perfect and enchanting body. Even though Gu Yuena was now in a smaller form, how could he really see her as a little girl?

Gu Yuena pouted, looking aggrieved. "Just now, you hugged me tightly. But as soon as you realized it was me, you immediately looked disgusted. Am I really not as good as Xiao Wu?"

Ao Tian explained, "No, Xiao Wu has truly transformed into a human and is only seven years old. But you, as the illustrious Silver Dragon King, how could I treat you like a little girl?"

Gu Yuena's eyes lit up, and she said a little excitedly, "So, you can't resist my charm and can't keep a level head?"

Ao Tian suddenly felt speechless. Did Gu Yuena really want him to take liberties with her?

Thinking of this, his expression gradually turned cold. He said, "Go back over there. If you don't, I'll have to send you back."

"Senior Ao, please don't!" Gu Yuena called out pitifully.

"I actually found that the rate of recovery is a bit faster when I'm by your side, so that's why I came over," she explained.

"Really?" Ao Tian looked into her eyes.

"Really," Gu Yuena nodded gently, saying, "Gu Yuena never lies."

Ao Tian's consciousness entered Gu Yuena's body and observed for a while. He spoke in a softer tone, "If you really are here to heal, then don't snuggle up in my arms."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Gu Yuena sweetly smiled and laid down beside Ao Tian.

Ao Tian sighed helplessly. He didn't know if it was right or wrong to have inadvertently awakened Gu Yuena.

What man wouldn't want to hold power and lie in the arms of a beautiful woman? Besides, Gu Yuena was such a stunning lady. Ao Tian admitted that he was a bit tempted.

But he already had Bibi Dong. Without Bibi Dong's consent, he didn't dare to take a mistress.

So, even though Gu Yuena had made it clear many times that she was willing to be with him, he had always refused.

"Well, when I find an opportunity, I should ask Little Dong'er first."
