Huo Yuhao was a scumbag; there was no doubt about that.
However, compared to most, Huo Yuhao had at least one virtue: he would never lie to them.
"Currently... there's only Ice Emperor and Skydream."
"What do you mean 'currently'?! What do you mean 'only'?! Isn't that enough?! That's already two!"
Qiu'er turned red with fury.
She wasn't naive; she easily understood what Huo Yuhao meant, but that only made her angrier.
Fine, she didn't get the first "bite," but how was even the second one gone?! If she had gotten her memories back any later, would she have had to wait in line outside the door?!
"Why didn't you give me my memories back sooner!"
"At first, I didn't know how to face you... Later, once I figured it out, I wanted to give them back, but you've been away for over half a year. Di Tian said you were busy with something important, so I didn't want to disturb you..."
Qiu'er's expression instantly stiffened.
So I brought this on myself?! I missed the golden opportunity?!
A surge of frustration welled up—emotions accumulated over two lifetimes finally erupted at this moment!
She missed the first bite, and the second was snatched away, but at least... the third one was still hers! At least, she was one step ahead of that girl Wang Dong'er!
Sensing Qiu'er's emotions becoming increasingly unstable, Huo Yuhao was about to speak, but in the next heartbeat, Qiu'er spoke in a low voice, as if suppressing something:
"In the last life, you owed me... it's time to pay it back."
A warm touch stifled any further words, followed by a somewhat clumsy attempt to stir a certain someone's emotions.
Huo Yuhao didn't stop her. Instead, like a dedicated mentor, he guided and corrected Qiu'er's movements.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiu'er propped herself up by his shoulders and slowly sat up. Her earlier dissatisfaction was deeply suppressed by a current sense of fulfillment, and a mesmerizing smile appeared on the corners of her lips.
"It's my win..."
She murmured softly, her tone thick with confidence.
Just as Huo Yuhao was special to her, she firmly believed she was special in Huo Yuhao's heart.
Are you kidding? In the last life, Huo Yuhao only had Wang Dong'er in his heart and she didn't back down. This time, facing a Huo Yuhao whose mindset had clearly changed, how could she possibly give up!
Even if the difficulty of this "New Game Plus" had doubled, she would definitely carve out a path to victory!
Nah, I'd Win.jpg
"I won't show any mercy... if you can't take it anymore, beg me, and I might let you go."
Qiu'er lowered her head, whispering softly in Huo Yuhao's ear.
With the Golden Dragon martial soul, a full set of 10,000-year soul bones enhanced by Soul Ring Bone Nourishing, and five Blood Essence Soul Rings, she had an ultimate physical constitution. Even without using the Golden Dragon Spear, she currently possessed the strength to go toe-to-toe with a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast!
How could she lose?!
In the last life, they were both gone before she could even get a taste. In this life, she had to see what all the fuss was about!
Just like a certain little scorpion who was proud to the bone but always ended up going with the flow, Qiu'er also felt she couldn't lose a single bit.
With a sudden pull on Huo Yuhao's collar, Qiu'er felt as if she were the villain in the novel she had read, and Huo Yuhao below her was the heroine!
At this moment, Qiu'er was incomparably confident!
Yuhao, be a good boy and don't move! You aren't allowed out until we have five children!
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had a slightly strange expression... I don't think I told Qiu'er that I've been doing Soul Ring Bone Nourishing for more than half a year?
...
(Summary: Day after day, day after day...)
Qiu'er and Ice Emperor were both the type of contestants who wouldn't shed a tear until they saw the coffin. The difference was that Ice Emperor fought him from start to finish, whereas Qiu'er, halfway through, though her mouth was still stubborn, had shifted from resistance to cooperation.
It was a different sensation.
"Damn it... you scumbag, why are you so experienced!"
Qiu'er gritted her teeth, clutching her waist.
Even though Huo Yuhao had let her off and she had rested for a while, her voice still betrayed her exhaustion.
At this moment, Qiu'er inadvertently reached a consensus with a certain little scorpion.
—Why on earth is a human's constitution stronger than a Soul Beast's! Where is the justice in this?!
Qiu'er was incredibly depressed.
Huo Yuhao didn't reply. He took out the Life Storage Device and used the Life Force collected from the Blue Silver King to carefully and bit-by-bit restore Qiu'er's depleted stamina.
"Does it still hurt?"
"What do you think!"
Qiu'er snapped. Although she was the one who stubbornly refused to admit defeat, and although she did indeed get immersed in it later...
But!
"...Can't you let me rest for a bit?!"
Huo Yuhao looked helpless. While gently massaging Qiu'er's slightly heaving lower abdomen, he spoke calmly:
"Every time I slowed down a bit, you were the one who couldn't wait to sit back on top... so who exactly was it that didn't want to rest?"
Qiu'er was speechless.
Qiu'er's composure shattered.
Qiu'er turned red with heat.
"You! It's clearly your fault, okay!"
Qiu'er's face was flushed. Like a cat with its fur standing on end, she waved her claws to "threaten" Huo Yuhao.
What's wrong with wanting to be on top?! She was the initiator; the initiative should belong to her!
"Yes, yes, yes, my fault, my fault..."
Huo Yuhao comforted her softly, gently stroking her hair, his eyes full of tenderness.
Huo Yuhao unconsciously radiated the aura of a doting husband. Clearly, she should have been angry at his tone—which sounded like he was coaxing a child—but sensing that gentle aura from him made Qiu'er's heart skip a beat involuntarily.
Damn it...
She finally knew why the Yuhao of this life was a scumbag! With this face and this temperament, who wouldn't fall for him!
No, I have to wake up!
Qiu'er steadied her mind, then suddenly bit down on Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
"???"
Feeling the pain on his right shoulder, Huo Yuhao's expression shifted slightly. One bite on the left shoulder from Sister Nana, and now you're giving me one on the right?
Moreover, Ice Emperor had once insisted on leaving a mark on him because she saw the bite mark Gu Yuena had left. If Huo Yuhao hadn't used his superb "skills" to convince her otherwise, he'd probably have one more mark on his body right now.
But now that Qiu'er had left one, when Ice Emperor saw it next time, he probably wouldn't be able to escape... and then there was Skydream.
What was this? Like a soldier going to war, carving a notch into the rifle butt for every enemy defeated to show off their record?
Huo Yuhao had a strange expression, but Qiu'er didn't care about any of that, focusing intently on engraving her own mark.
After a long time, Qiu'er let go. Looking at the bite mark—which carried the dual attributes of Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire, plus a hint of the power of fate—she nodded in satisfaction.
"This way... you won't be able to escape my grasp."
After a short pause, Qiu'er stood up, one hand on her hip and the other propped against Huo Yuhao's chest, her tone serious: "This time... this time doesn't count. I had no experience. Next time, I will definitely defeat you!"
