Chapter 63: Wang Dong – I'm Not Small, I Just Haven't Grown Yet!
An hour later.
A ripple of energy surged around Ye Chen's body—he had successfully advanced to level 42.
Although his martial soul's innate potential wasn't dramatically improved, it had still pushed his aptitude slightly past the standard threshold.
Besides, he had already been close to breaking through, so it wasn't surprising that his progress came so naturally.
The higher one climbed, the slower cultivation became.
Unless one consumed special treasures—divine herbs or rare elixirs—rapid breakthroughs were increasingly difficult.
Two hours later, Wang Dong also broke through.
Straight to level 25.
"Ah! I–I broke through again!!" Wang Dong exclaimed in disbelief as she felt her soul power climb.
That was so fast...
A single cultivation session, and up by one full level.
At this rate, by the time of the freshman tournament, wouldn't she have a real chance of reaching Soul Elder rank??
This was too good to be true!
"See? I told you I wasn't lying."
Ye Chen patted Wang Dong on the shoulder, signaling her to climb down.
Right now, she was still clinging to him, and his waist was starting to ache—mostly because he'd been holding himself back the whole time.
"Mhm~ Ye Chen, you're amazing~"
Wang Dong hurriedly slid off him, her cheeks red, her beautiful eyes shining with excitement.
Though embracing him had been shyly awkward, the insane increase in cultivation speed had made her completely addicted—she couldn't stop craving it.
"Alright, training's over. You can move out now." Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively, ushering her toward the door.
"Ah… What? Why??"
Wang Dong froze, feeling like the sky had just collapsed.
"This is the male dormitory. You're a girl—you can't stay here. If word gets out that we're living together, they'll say I'm taking advantage of you. I'd be done for." Ye Chen shrugged casually.
"I–I'd never report you! I'm not that kind of person…" Wang Dong protested anxiously.
"Still doesn't work. What if you're the one who tries something on me? Then I'd be the victim here."
Ye Chen sighed dramatically.
Wang Dong: …
"Who—who would ever do something like that, you pervert!! Don't make things up!!"
She flared up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
It wasn't like she had intentions, but yes… maybe she had been occasionally tempted to sneak some glances.
After all, Ye Chen was handsome, strong, and just... pleasant to look at. Eye candy was good for the soul.
Still, his words were outrageous! Couldn't he respect her feelings a little?
They had just cultivated together, after all.
So heartless! Too cruel!
"Besides, no one else knows my identity, so what's the problem?"
Hands on her hips, Wang Dong glared up at Ye Chen defiantly.
Even when pouting, her beauty was striking—soft pink hair framing flushed cheeks, eyes blazing adorably. It made Ye Chen's fingers twitch with the urge to pinch her face.
"Alright, fine, you can stay. But you'll have to agree to a few conditions." Ye Chen finally said, pretending to relent.
"Hmph, what kind of conditions?" Wang Dong huffed, finally hopeful again.
She was terrified he'd kick her out. Without him, she'd lose access to his insanely powerful cultivation method.
And she didn't want to live with random girls either.
"First, you'll handle all the dorm cleaning. Deal?" Ye Chen said calmly.
"Hmph! Fine, I'll do it." Wang Dong crossed her arms, pouting. It was a hassle, but for cultivation's sake, she could endure it.
"And second—you'll wash my clothes and pants from now on." Ye Chen continued smoothly.
"W–What?! You lazy jerk! You expect me to do that too?" Wang Dong's eyes widened in outrage.
Cleaning was one thing—but laundry, too? That was too much!
"If you don't like it, forget it." Ye Chen feigned indifference.
It was deliberate—playing hard to get.
He knew the "secret technique" was irresistible to her, so he was sure she'd cave quickly.
"...Fine… I'll do it," Wang Dong muttered grudgingly in defeat.
"Good. Now, one last condition." Ye Chen raised a finger and smiled slyly.
"W-What condition? I'm warning you, nothing weird! If you ask for something improper, I—I won't agree!"
Wang Dong immediately grew alert, covering her chest and backing away two steps, terrified of whatever was coming next.
"Nothing bad," Ye Chen said innocently. "It's just—since you're a girl, you should dress more appropriately. Maybe wear a cute skirt… and stockings or something~"
"Besides, dressing prettily will strengthen our compatibility and raise our cultivation efficiency~"
He grinned mischievously.
Wang Dong was beautiful, but wearing the guys' school uniform looked off.
If she could wear a skirt, stockings, and maybe smile a little—just imagining it was a visual blessing.
"Wh–What skirt and stockings… I don't have that stuff!"
"And boosting compatibility my foot—you just want to see me wear them, you pervert…"
Wang Dong's face was crimson now. She saw right through him.
As if she'd believe that excuse!
She was no fool—and remembering that thing pressing against her during cultivation just now…
That pervert Ye Chen!!
He'd been ogling her this whole time!
"Fine, fine, forget it." Ye Chen shrugged, playing it off as if it didn't matter.
"W-Who said 'forget it'? I'll wear them…" Wang Dong blurted out, stammering, cheeks glowing even redder.
She hadn't worn dresses or stockings in ages, but if it made cultivation faster, she could tolerate it.
Besides—they'd already spent hours hugging closely. Letting him see her legs didn't seem like a big deal anymore.
As for Ye Chen's obvious interest—she didn't really mind.
Boys being lustful was perfectly normal.
It was people like Huo Yuhao, with nothing but "cultivation" in their heads, who were the weird ones.
"Oh? You actually agreed?" Ye Chen blinked in surprise. He hadn't expected her to give in so easily.
"Hmph… but let's be clear—just looking, nothing else! You're not allowed to touch!" Wang Dong said firmly, face red but voice trying to sound imposing.
Letting him look was her absolute limit.
Touching was off-limits… or at least, officially off-limits.
In truth, she could tolerate a little accidental contact—they were cultivating together, after all—but she couldn't let Ye Chen think she was easy to push around.
"Relax. Just looking. You barely have anything to touch anyway."
Ye Chen rolled his eyes, glancing briefly at her chest.
Hidden under the loose uniform, it really was—well—unimpressive.
Wang Dong: …
"Ye Chen, you bastard! Are you saying I'm flat?!"
Her face turned volcanic as she launched herself at him, biting at his shoulder furiously.
"I didn't say anything, but it is kinda true…"
"Shut up! I'm still growing, you jerk! I'll bite you to death! Grr!"
