It was universally acknowledged that Zhu Zhuqing had an excellent figure, with few on the continent able to rival her.
Although Li Xun often took liberties, this was the first time he had experienced it so vividly.
The evening sunlight, like gold, streamed through the window, casting a golden chrysanthemum-like glow over the room.
Even the messy bed appeared elegant, especially with a touch of crimson, adding a sense of solemn dignity.
As a soft, suppressed sob faded, the room seemed to fall into a brief silence.
"You should be done now..."
A timid voice spoke, carrying a hint of pleading, but soon she could no longer form coherent words, leaving only fragmented, nonsensical murmurs, as if enduring some form of torment.
"Slow down..."
Time passed minute by minute, until the last ray of twilight burned out its purpose, heralding the arrival of night.
But the physique of a Soul Master differed from the cycles of day and night—some had only brief moments of dawn, while others seemed to possess inexhaustible vitality.
"Rongrong and Sister Dugu should be having dinner now..."
As another surge of life energy flowed into her, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly uttered these words, clutching the bedsheet, and fled into the bathroom like a startled bird.
"Are you hungry?"
Li Xun glanced at the time, feeling it was still early, and got up to follow her.
"!! Haven't you had enough?"
"I'll just rinse off and leave."
"Hmm... liar..."
The spacious living room was somewhat quiet.
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan sat opposite each other, staring at the table full of food without anyone touching their chopsticks.
The soundproofing of this mansion was exceptionally poor, as if it had never been designed with outsiders in mind during its construction.
Thus, even from downstairs, certain sounds could be faintly heard.
Ning Rongrong had woken up in the afternoon, and the moment she heard the noises from next door, she instantly knew what was happening.
Though she felt uncomfortable inside, what was done was done. Even if she barged in, she couldn't change anything. Moreover, given someone's shameless nature, she might even end up getting dragged into it.
Ning Rongrong pouted, silently cursing someone in her heart for being so shameless.
"Four hours... still not as long as me..."
As the sounds gradually ceased, Ning Rongrong calculated the time and felt an inexplicable sense of solace.
The moment this thought surfaced, even she was startled, her face flushing with heat as she quickly shook the idea from her mind.
Flustered, she picked up her chopsticks to eat but failed to grip them properly several times.
Dugu Yan glanced at Ning Rongrong, pursed her lips, and asked, "Rongrong, does it hurt a lot? Why do you both cry out like that?"
She had some knowledge of physiological matters, but only to a limited extent.
Yet, hearing the pained moans of two people in succession now made her feel somewhat apprehensive...
At these words, Ning Rongrong's hand trembled, and her chopsticks instantly clattered onto the table. Her face turned bright red, and she looked at Dugu Yan with disbelief. "Huh?"
Flustered, she picked up her chopsticks again, not answering, and hurriedly began eating with her head down.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Dugu Yan had an inkling of the truth and was about to press further when she noticed Li Xun and Zhu Zhuqing slowly descending the stairs.
Instantly, she swallowed her words.
"Everyone's here?" Li Xun greeted them with a smile as he and Zhu Zhuqing took their seats.
Perhaps due to the awkwardness, aside from Li Xun occasionally speaking a few words, the three women were preoccupied with their own mixed emotions and kept their heads down while eating.
Li Xun had mentally prepared for this situation and did not force any intervention. After all, there was plenty of time ahead. As the saying goes, time reveals a person's heart—living together over time would naturally reunite their bonds.
As for Dugu Yan, although Li Xun had already made up his mind, seeing her current timid demeanor and considering that Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had yet to resolve their issues, he decided to let things be for a while.
The outermost part of Seagod Island was a silver sandy beach. If not for missions or restrictions, Li Xun felt it would make a great vacation spot.
Speaking of which, the four of them had already been on Seagod Island for quite some time, especially the year-long third God Trial, which had essentially trapped them there.
Li Xun gazed at the calm sea and instantly activated his God of Slaughter Domain. A chilling, life-disdaining killing intent swiftly enveloped the nearby coastline, causing the surrounding Sea Soul Beasts to flee in panic.
Before long, white fins emerged on the sea surface as Xiao Bai approached the shore with dozens of Demon Soul Great White Sharks.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Bai visibly relaxed upon seeing Li Xun, transforming into human form and stepping onto the shore.
"You should know about our trial, right? Lead the way."
Li Xun glanced at Xiao Bai, and as someone who had recently experienced intimacy, he unconsciously compared her to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. In the end, he still felt Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were superior in two aspects.
Xiao Bai's expression turned serious, a faint unease stirring within her: "Are you really prepared? The Evil Orca King is not an easy opponent. Aside from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who can somewhat intimidate them, they have almost no rivals in the ocean. Even our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan can only barely hold our ground."
She immediately elaborated on the Evil Orcas: "This species is extremely bloodthirsty. Although I'd love to eliminate these creatures that defile the ocean as soon as possible, I advise you to build up your strength for another year to avoid unnecessary sacrifices among my clan."
Li Xun laughed upon hearing this. Talk of "defiling the ocean" and "evil Soul Beasts" were nothing but excuses to justify attacking opponents. Wasn't survival an instinct for Soul Beasts? Why did it sound so self-righteous, just like Tang San?
Li Xun had no such pretensions—enemies were enemies, and interests were interests: "Don't worry, what you saw last time wasn't my full strength."
"? I hope you're telling the truth."
"If I die, could you please take care of my clan?" Xiao Bai sighed.
The mission assigned by the Sea God was not something she could defy. Moreover, since Li Xun and Ning Rongrong possessed the Sea God's trial, they stood a good chance of survival even if they failed.
"How do we get there?" Li Xun asked, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Xiao Bai.
Having seen countless Sea Soul Masters gaze at her with that same look, Xiao Bai knew exactly what he was thinking: "I am the Sea God's mount!"
"The future Sea God is still the Sea God," Li Xun said, smiling as he held Ning Rongrong and glanced at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai stared at them wide-eyed but quickly relented upon seeing the marks on their foreheads: "Fine, as long as you can completely destroy those defilers of the ocean, do whatever you want."
With the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover, they had no need to worry about breathing underwater, and it even provided a cloaking effect.
Xiao Bai's species were natural enemies of the Demonic Tiger Whales, making it easy to locate their gathering place. They had already descended five hundred meters below the sea surface, and the immense water pressure caused the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover to tremble slightly.
"Xiao Bai, just keep steady in a moment," Li Xun instructed. Under Xiao Bai's puzzled gaze, he summoned his Martial Soul, and eight Spirit Rings—one yellow, two purple, two black, and three red—appeared one after another.
As Li Xun's fifth Spirit Ring lit up, countless deep blue spears emerged continuously from the seabed. In the blink of an eye, they formed a dense forest of spears, growing larger and larger, shimmering brilliantly under the reflection of the seawater.
Li Xun rarely used this Fifth Soul Skill, but the current situation was perfect to put it to good use.
