Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

After all, her forceful rise to power is bound to cause dissatisfaction among many people.

Her every move from now on will be monitored, and if she reveals even the slightest flaw, she will fall into the abyss.

She couldn't drag Ye Chen down with her.

They will not give up their chance for revenge.

So tonight is the farewell ceremony she chose for herself, a final, regretless end to this doomed relationship.

It was one of her acts of willfulness and indulgence.

Thinking of this, the blush on her face became even more radiant and beautiful.

……

ten minutes later.

"Click——"

The bathroom door opened.

A misty vapor rose up along with the oranges, carrying the fresh scent of shower gel.

Orange stood at the bathroom door, a bath towel barely covering her chest to mid-thigh, revealing her fair, rounded shoulders and delicate collarbone.

Her face was flushed with a lovely blush from the steaming hot water, and tiny water droplets clung to her long eyelashes, trembling gently with each blink.

Her legs were straight and shapely, her smooth ankles and delicate toes resting on the cool floor, where the remaining water stains spread out in a dark patch beneath her feet.

The curves of her body, wrapped in a bath towel, were exquisite and alluring, clearly indicating that she was very well-endowed.

Ye Chen's gaze was instantly captivated.

The usually aloof and languid senior student had shed her girlish naiveté and appeared exceptionally mature and charming, like an older sister.

The contrast was so striking that he momentarily forgot what to say, staring intently at the orange, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

"What, are you stupid?"

Orange's cheeks burned even hotter under his gaze, and she couldn't help but glare at him gently, whispering a coquettish complaint.

Her reproachful gaze held a hint of shyness, as well as a touch of nervousness and anticipation.

She subconsciously tightened the towel around her chest, as if it would give her a sense of security.

"Mmmmm~"

Ye Chen seemed to just come to his senses, tilted his head, and said with a grin, "Sister Orange looks especially beautiful today~"

"Stop it……"

Orange felt uncomfortable under his gaze, blushed, and glared at him.

As she spoke, she moved to the bedside, bent down slightly, and sat on the edge of the bed. The bath towel was slightly taut, outlining a particularly rounded curve.

"Smooth-tongued, no wonder she can bewitch Meng Hongchen..." Orange muttered softly, with a hint of jealousy.

But it was only a tiny bit, and she didn't mind it too much. On the contrary, she was happy for Ye Chen.

After all, it was never going to be possible for her and Ye Chen.

With Meng Hongchen by Ye Chen's side, she felt at ease.

Moreover, she also felt that she owed Ye Chen something.

She had always seen Ye Chen's affection for her, and she also liked Ye Chen.

However, due to the hatred in her heart and her status, she cannot be with Ye Chen.

Tonight, it could also be said that she was making amends to Ye Chen.

At the same time, it also ensures that she has no regrets.

As soon as Ju Zi finished speaking.

A warm, strong arm gently wrapped around her waist from behind.

Ju Zi's body tensed up instantly, but she quickly relaxed and let Ye Chen pull her into his arms.

Ye Chen rested his chin on her round, delicate shoulder, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe and neck.

"No way, anyway, Sister Orange is the prettiest today~"

Ye Chen's hand, through the thin bath towel, gently pinched Ju Zi's soft waist; it was plump and felt wonderful to the touch.

"Hmph, today it is..." Orange twisted her waist, slightly dissatisfied.

Ye Chen is a guy who speaks with perfect tact.

He must have said the same thing to Meng Hongchen.

"How could that be? It's always been like that~"

Ye Chen quickly replied.

After saying that, Ye Chen didn't give Ju Zi a chance to speak again. He pressed his lips to her soft, red lips and gently pushed her down onto the bed...

Everyone else has already taken a bath and is waiting for me.

How could Ye Chen possibly refuse? Ye Chen held Ju Zi's slender yet supple waist tightly with one hand, and supported the back of her head with the other, deepening the kiss.

The moment their lips met, all hesitation and concerns seemed to vanish into thin air.

Orange responded awkwardly, her hands unconsciously climbing up Ye Chen's broad back.

The moonlight outside the window flowed silently, gently enveloping this small world.

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

"Sister Orange, you can't refuse me again tonight~"

Ye Chen held the orange's rosy cheeks and spoke softly.

Although he hadn't brought it up directly, he had been giving her tantalizing hints with his eyes, which she ignored, clearly indicating her rejection.

Tonight will be different.

"Hmm...you got off easy..."

Orange blushed and turned her head away, clearly not daring to meet Ye Chen's burning gaze.

"Hehe, thanks, Sister Orange~"

Upon receiving Ju Zi's consent, Ye Chen smiled happily.

……

……

……

……

The next morning.

Ye Chen woke up early.

The beauty beside me is long gone.

"Seriously, who would run away in the middle of the night..." Ye Chen sat up, shook his head, and said helplessly.

Of course, Ye Chen knew that Ju Zi was being so careful because she was afraid that Xu Tianran would find out about him.

But Ye Chen couldn't prove on the spot that he could torture and kill Xu Tianran, especially since Xu Tianran was still in bed with him...

Of course, this also avoids alerting the enemy.

What if Xu Tianran, knowing of his existence, forgoes his ascension to the throne and instead targets him first...?

Ye Chen will have to kill Xu Tianran beforehand.

This will have a significant impact on his plans.

Moreover, Xu Tianran's early cultivation of Ju Zi, granting Ju Zi power and status beyond her years, is also a good thing for Ye Chen.

It's like using someone else's resources to generate wealth.

The growth of oranges will inevitably encounter many obstacles and difficulties, and Xu Tianran will naturally have to overcome these difficulties.

Ye Chen could do it too, but it would be a waste of time.

After all, the "Myriad Manifestations Puppet" doesn't have the strength of Xu Tianran, a Title Douluo. When problems arise, Ye Chen has to step in to resolve them, which is quite troublesome.

Now that Ye Chen has such a good employee as Xu Tianran, he naturally can't bear to kill him.

……

……

With Ju Zi gone, Ye Chen felt a strange emptiness.

Without Orange's help, Ye Chen felt that making soul tools had lost its fun.

Well, after all, this thing is inherently boring.

At Shrek Academy, Ye Chen was always accompanied by Xian Lin'er.

Xian Lin'er would come over from time to time to pet him, and sometimes she would even give him a little treat, so that Ye Chen wouldn't get bored.

Ye Chen could endure such a life for several months without any problem.

Now that there are no oranges or Xianlin'er here, Ye Chen can't last a day.

Having no other choice, Ye Chen had to teleport back to Shrek Academy.

Distance was no longer a problem for Ye Chen. With the Eye of Boundless Heaven and Earth and the ability to teleport, Ye Chen could freely travel anywhere on the entire continent.

However, there is a time difference between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy.

If this happens too often, it will still have a tiny bit of an impact on Ye Chen...
