Chapter 72 Ling Luochen's Dream Lover
As the night passed, Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao gradually woke up from their cultivation.
However, fearing he might see something he shouldn't, Huo Yuhao decisively chose to close his eyes and rest, activating the Star-Guiding Technique to adjust the soul power within his body. The Sun Emblem, which had shown signs of awakening due to Ma Xiaotao's intense soul power, had once again disappeared.
Huo Yuhao's Flame Demon Tiger King left palm bone had become much purer in its primordial fire through a night of cultivation, and its fusion with the Starry Purple Fire had also deepened.
Just as Huo Yuhao was carefully sensing the changes within himself, Ma Xiaotao quietly left the bedroom, closing the door behind her as she went, trying to make as little noise as possible. Both of them tacitly chose to give each other some breathing room.
As soon as Ma Xiaotao stepped out of the bedroom, she leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh. The events that had happened between her and Huo Yuhao yesterday were replaying in her mind, refusing to leave!
If either of them had been a little more proactive, the matter would probably have been settled by now!
Ma Xiaotao blushed, spat, and looked down at her sweat-stained, wrinkled clothes, her brows furrowing. She knew perfectly well that this was mostly her own doing.
Will Huo Yuhao look down on me? If he dares to look down on me, I'll beat him up!
Feeling a little uneasy, Ma Xiaotao thought to herself, and then simply ran into the bathroom to take a cold shower.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes after Ma Xiaotao left. Although Ma Xiaotao was the one who sweated the most yesterday, his clothes had undoubtedly suffered as well.
In short, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Huo Yuhao decided to go back to his dormitory to tidy himself up. With that in mind, Huo Yuhao took out paper and pen from his soul tool, left a note for Ma Xiaotao on the coffee table in the living room, then tiptoed out of Ma Xiaotao's wooden house and ran away in a flash.
By the time the young woman, whose heart was just beginning to flutter with romantic feelings, had taken a good bath, changed her clothes, and emerged from the bathroom, Huo Yuhao was nowhere to be seen. Somewhat dejected, Ma Xiaotao picked up the note Huo Yuhao had left behind, her slender, fair hands involuntarily tightening their grip, crumpling the paper into a ball.
"Going out of here? Fine, going out of here of all! You little brat, you just wait!"
While cursing and swearing, Ma Xiaotao subtly activated her soul power, instantly burning the note to ashes.
It's the time of the first class in the morning, and Huo Yuhao has a free moment to take a good shower in his dormitory.
Having made up his mind, Huo Yuhao hurriedly headed towards the outer courtyard.
Small boats are generally available for transportation along the shores of Seagod Lake, but very few people actually use them when they have nothing better to do. Most people with sufficient strength choose to fly directly using their soul power, while those who are slightly less capable often have their own special abilities to cross Seagod Lake.
Huo Yuhao is a prime example of the latter. Although he cannot use his second martial soul now, he still possesses the ultimate ice attribute soul power. By freezing the lake water with his ultimate ice attribute soul power to form an ice surface, Huo Yuhao easily traversed the Sea God Lake.
It was early morning, and the waters of Poseidon Lake were a clear, deep blue, creating a stunning scene where the water and sky blended seamlessly under the cloudless sky. Huo Yuhao, walking on the lake for the first time, felt an extraordinary sense of peace. A gentle breeze occasionally blew by, but there was none of the hustle and bustle of the campus. The tranquility was so captivating that he felt reluctant to leave.
Huo Yuhao gradually slowed his pace, lightly touching the emerald waves of the lake, where frosty petals formed a stage. Recalling the Snow Empress's graceful dance in the far north, he couldn't help but move his body and soul, replicating that exquisite dance here.
Shrek Academy doesn't have many suitable training environments for ice-attribute soul masters, but fortunately, ice and water share the same origin, and this vast Sea God Lake can serve as an excellent training environment for ice-attribute soul masters.
As the only ice-attribute soul master in Shrek Academy's inner court, Ling Luochen was naturally aware of this. Whenever she didn't have classes, she would come to Seagod Lake to use the water element, which shared the same origin as ice, to mimic the environment and aid her cultivation.
She finally had no classes this morning, so she certainly wouldn't let this rare opportunity slip by. Lightly touching the ice flowers with her feet, Ling Luochen happily hummed a little tune as she walked from the lakeside of Poseidon Island towards the depths of the lake.
The water and sky blend into one, a clear, deep blue, with a gentle breeze rippling across the vast lake.
Hmm? This wind! Why is it so cold? Wait a minute! I'm an Ice Soul Master, why am I feeling cold?
Ling Luochen was startled and looked up. In the distance, on the frost-covered ice platform, a figure was dancing gracefully.
Her black ponytail swayed in the wind, her slender figure moved like a bird in flight, and her pale face was flawlessly clean.
Is this a boy? Is this the ultimate ice?
For the first time in her late twenties, Ling Luochen felt her heart flutter. The young man before her seemed like a perfect replica of her dream lover, tailored to her aesthetic sensibilities.
She stared blankly at the scene before her, like an art connoisseur who had discovered an unparalleled treasure. Ling Luochen's icy blue eyes held no lust, only reverence and joy.
Having never really believed in gods before, for the first time she genuinely wanted to thank God for bringing this boy to her.
The chilling wind gradually subsided, and the frost-covered ice platform slowly melted away, leaving only a few inch-long frost flowers. Huo Yuhao finally performed the Snow Empress's solo dance to its final act. He knew someone was watching him, but moved by his emotions and following his heart, he still danced the Snow Maiden's Dance to its conclusion.
When Huo Yuhao emerged from his reverie and opened his deep blue eyes, a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair was staring at him blankly with her icy blue eyes.
"Who are you?"
Ling Luochen vaguely heard a clear voice calling out, which was tinged with a hint of estrangement. After a moment of pause, she realized that it was the young man in front of her asking her a question.
"Ah, hello. I am Ling Luochen from the Inner Court. May I ask who you are?"
The boy revealed a gentle smile that was somewhat distant, like the winter sun, warm yet with a hint of chill.
Huo Yuhao bowed slightly and said with a smile, "I am Huo Yuhao, a first-year student in the Foreign Languages Department. Greetings, Senior Sister Ling."
Huo Yuhao? The adopted son of the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department? The champion of the freshman assessment? So, he is Huo Yuhao?
Ling Luochen was somewhat at a loss. After a moment of silence, she took a light blue jade pendant from her ice-blue gemstone ring and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
"Here you go. You can come find me in the inner courtyard when you have time. I'd like to learn more about your Ultimate Ice, and I hope you can give me a chance to get to know you in the future."
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was stunned. He hadn't expected this ice-cold beauty to be so direct right from their first meeting. After a brief silence, he finally accepted Ling Luochen's token.
"Senior, you can come find me when you have time. I have many questions I'd like to ask you about cultivation."
A smile appeared on Ling Luochen's cool face. "It's a deal then, so let's leave it at that."
