"She's been... waiting for me all this time?"
"Hmph, I suppose she wanted to clear things up regarding her feelings for a scumbag like you?"
Skydream spoke sourly, her voice dripping with a thick sense of grievance.
She remembered very clearly the look of determination on Ling Luochen's face the day she came asking for Huo Yuhao's whereabouts.
Skydream knew, even thinking with her toes, that Ling Luochen was absolutely unwilling to give up on Yuhao. In fact, she was likely trying to join this "Battle for Yuhao" and snatch the largest slice of the "cake" for herself!
Of course, aside from a certain Dragon King, Skydream didn't hold a random grudge against others; she just couldn't help but snark about a certain someone's choices.
"Is that so..."
Huo Yuhao lowered his gaze to the girl sitting quietly on the carpet, a hint of guilt rising in his heart.
Bending down slightly, Huo Yuhao gently picked Ling Luochen up. Perhaps sensing his reassuring and familiar scent, Ling Luochen did not wake up; instead, her entire body curled further into Huo Yuhao's embrace.
Carrying Ling Luochen into the room, Huo Yuhao carefully tucked her into the bed.
He used his mental power to briefly check Ling Luochen's physical condition. After confirming she was merely exhausted from lack of rest and would recover after a few days of sleep, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Skydream, who had followed him inside, grew irritated seeing Huo Yuhao's tender movements. She let out a soft huff and spoke:
"Hmph, scumbag. Are you planning to take advantage of her while she's asleep? Ha! I knew you were up to no good! Your head is definitely only filled with doing—"
Her words were cut short as Huo Yuhao turned around, grabbed Skydream's hand, and led her out of the room.
Skydream blinked in a daze, and by the time she snapped out of it, she had already been pulled into the hallway.
Looking at the silent Huo Yuhao, Skydream pouted, her mood souring again:
"It's always like this. I was the second one to meet you, yet you can't treat me the same? I also... mmph... mmm..."
Huo Yuhao pinned Skydream against the wall, sealing her yapping little mouth.
Compared to the Ice Emperor's cool touch, Skydream's was smaller, softer, and... easier to take control of.
A few minutes later, Huo Yuhao slowly released Skydream. A glistening thread of moisture appeared abruptly, stretching out and falling before finally breaking.
His azure eyes looked down slightly at the misty-eyed, flushed Skydream in front of him. Huo Yuhao spoke softly:
"Sister Skydream?"
Seeing Skydream's resentful and angry look—complaining while simultaneously provoking him—he truly couldn't resist the urge to tease her.
Perhaps since that emotional outburst where his Seed of Emotion evolved, his personality had also undergone an indefinable change.
His emotions were more sensitive; he was more prone to emotional fluctuations than before, yet he could maintain his sanity in an incomprehensible way.
In moments like this, he had two choices: follow his emotional instincts or let logic control everything.
(He can adjust at any time whether to think with the "little head" or the "big head.")
For example, when facing them, Huo Yuhao had become more "greedy." In this instance, he chose to follow his emotional instincts, "greedily" unwilling to let any of them go.
Like just now—seeing Skydream with her hands on her hips and her head tilted back, her mouth going a mile a minute. Huo Yuhao couldn't even hear what she was saying; he just wanted to kiss her. Consequently, Skydream ended up breathless against the wall.
And at that point, his emotional instinct made another choice: to simply "devour" Skydream!
However, because he had just finished his research, he was truly exhausted. Although his body had the stamina to go for eight hundred rounds, he had no mental energy left.
Logic, based on his current mental state, determined he temporarily lacked the drive to fully "eat" Skydream, so a decision was made: he'd devour Sister Skydream next time...
This was the brand-new change that had occurred after his Seed of Emotion experienced that explosion.
Seeing that Skydream was still in a daze and at his mercy, Huo Yuhao instinctively reached out and pinched her slightly chubby cheek. While gently squeezing, he wiped away the glistening residue from the corner of her mouth:
"I'm going to rest. You should go to sleep early too, Sister Skydream."
With that, Huo Yuhao let go, yawned, and turned toward the laboratory, planning to make do there for the night.
Meanwhile, Skydream's eyes were misty and her brain was a chaotic mess.
Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?
Skydream only remembered being angry because Yuhao spent every night for a week with Bingbing without inviting her, then went to the Sun Moon Empire for a month with no news, and then treated Ling Luochen so tenderly upon his return.
With the combined fury of those three things, she felt she should at least bite Huo Yuhao a few times to vent her anger.
But how did the biting suddenly turn into mouth-to-mouth?!
Being pinned against the wall... taking it completely without the power to resist... and Yuhao having total control of the initiative...
Skydream covered her face with both hands, feeling her temperature skyrocket. Her face became scalding hot, and faint steam appeared over her head.
She was an Ice Silk Worm! What did it mean for an Ice Silk Worm to be this hot? Was she about to be cooked through?!
Skydream was clearly a "high attack, low defense" existence.
Though she often dropped suggestive jokes and spent her days thinking about how to climb into Yuhao's bed—and her daily routine involved hugging, touching, biting, and nibbling on him—those were all things she initiated!
She was shameless; she could push herself onto him without fear because Yuhao didn't seem to care, allowing her to take small advantages wantonly.
But why... why was that just now so different from what I imagined?!
Shouldn't the normal plot be Yuhao knowing I'm angry, then comforting me with sweet words, and then me taking advantage of the situation?!
Why did it suddenly turn out like this!!!
If she didn't count the times she nibbled on Yuhao's face, but only counted this specific act... this was her first time.
"It's over, completely over! Yuhao has learned bad things! He's truly turned wicked!" Skydream wailed internally.
After just one week of "practice," Huo Yuhao had changed so much. At this rate, wouldn't she be played like a fiddle in his palm later on?
Recalling the feeling of being completely under his control just now, Skydream instinctively rubbed her legs together, her body feeling slightly feverish.
She had been thoroughly handled by Yuhao; there was no getting off this "pirate ship" now!!!
In the future, will I end up like those characters in human storybooks—only able to watch Yuhao being lovey-dovey with other women while I bitterly help nurse Yuhao's children with them...
The thought of such a scene made Skydream want to cry, but no tears came... Wait, hold on.
Skydream looked down, saw a large portion of the tops of her own feet, and her expression turned even more bitter in an instant.
I don't even support the 'nursing' part of that operation at all!!!
The sadness is this big!!!
Why does Bingbing have them but I don't!
Skydream was ready to cry, but the tears wouldn't fall.
