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

"Xiao Xiao, I feel a little dizzy. I think I caught a cold. I'll go back to the hotel and rest for a while!" She rubbed her temples, her voice deliberately weak.

Xiao Xiao glanced back at her, knowing perfectly well that she was trying to slack off.

But seeing that Wang Dong did look rather listless, she softened and nodded, "Okay, then you should go back and rest. I'll take a look around here and then go back."

She knew Wang Dong too well; she knew that Wang Dong was straightforward and that this kind of task, which required patience and meticulousness, was simply torture for her.

"Xiao Xiao, you're the best!"

Wang Dong immediately perked up, hugged Xiao Xiao, and even gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Ugh... It's filthy, let's get out of here..."

Xiao Xiao blushed slightly and quickly pushed Wang Dong away.

"Hehe~"

Wang Dong chuckled, like a little bird finally freed from its cage, and nimbly glided towards the small inn in the distance.

Xiao Xiao watched her disappearing figure around the street corner, smiled helplessly, and then turned around to continue her investigation.

She was always exceptionally tolerant of Wang Dong's willfulness.

After all, they're good sisters.

In addition, she still felt guilty for having snatched Ye Chen's thunder, so she was quite tolerant of Wang Dong's temper and didn't say much about it.

……

……

……

the other side.

The hotel rooms were small and basic, but clean enough.

Wang Dong kicked off his shoes and threw himself heavily onto the somewhat hard wooden bed.

"Phew... I'm exhausted. It's so much more comfortable lying down..."

Wang Dong rolled around twice, pulled the blanket over half his face, leaving only his bright eyes staring at the ceiling, his mind wandering freely.

Thinking about where she would take Ye Chen to play after he returned, she was determined to make him make up for all the hard work she had done these past few days...

As I was thinking, my eyelids started to droop.

at this time--

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Wang Dong mumbled sleepily, thinking it was Xiao Xiao returning: "Oh my... Xiao Xiao, you finished work so early today? You're so efficient... I just got back and lay down..."

As she spoke, she lazily got up, barefoot, rubbed her eyes, and swayed as she went to open the door.

"Click——"

Some of the old wooden doors were opened a crack.

The dim light in the corridor outlined the silhouette of a tall and slender figure outside the door.

Wang Dong stopped rubbing his eyes, and his sleepiness vanished instantly.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared in disbelief at the figure in the doorway.

"Ye... Ye Chen..."

Wang Dong blinked hard, wondering if he was still half asleep.

"What's wrong, are you still half asleep?"

Ye Chen smiled and teased softly.

"Ah—Ye Chen! What brings you here? When did you get back?!"

A tremendous surprise exploded in my heart like fireworks!

With that, Wang Dong cheered and suddenly threw himself into Ye Chen's arms, wrapping his arms tightly around his neck.

She stood on tiptoe and, without a second thought, planted a hard kiss on his cheek.

"Come on!"

The crisp sound was particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

The familiar temperature, the familiar scent.

And the realistic feel of lips touching skin...

Wang Dong was then convinced that he wasn't dreaming and that Ye Chen had really returned.

She was just wondering if she could dream about Ye Chen, but to her utter surprise, Ye Chen appeared right in front of her!
"I just got back. I heard you two seemed to have run into some trouble on your mission here, so I came to see you."

Ye Chen steadily supported Wang Dong's little bottom with one hand.

His other hand naturally encircled her slender yet supple waist, and the familiar sweet fragrance of the young girl filled his nostrils.

He looked down at Wang Dong in front of him with a smile, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheeks, which were slightly flushed with surprise. Hmm, they feel even better now.

Wang Dong's age seems to be the age when he is developing.

It had been a while since I last saw Wang Dong, and he had clearly grown quite a bit taller.

Held in his arms, the girl's exquisite curves became even more pronounced, her waist still slender, but the area where his arms encircled her was exceptionally soft and yielding.

Wang Dong is like a fruit that is shedding its immaturity, gradually becoming fuller, and every change is clearly visible.

Her fair cheeks were still delicate and lovely, but her features seemed more defined, with less childishness and more youthful radiance.

Ye Chen's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

"Hmm...why are you staring at me like that..."

Wang Dong felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, so she buried her face in his neck and rubbed against him, making muffled sounds.

Although she said that, she tightened her grip on her arms even more.

It was as if they were afraid Ye Chen would disappear in the next second.

All the grievances and longing for Ye Chen that had accumulated over this period of time have now turned into a deep dependence on him; all she wants to do is hold onto him tightly.

"Don't worry, I'm here~"

Ye Chen felt the affection of the person in his arms, and gently patted her back in a tender tone.

His joining might seem like cheating to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, but it's more like having a cheat code.

However, Ye Chen knew that they had really worked hard these past few days and had suffered a lot, so this experience was equally precious to them.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are no longer children who need constant pampering, and Ye Chen is not worried about spoiling them.

He never hesitates to lend a helping hand when the time is right.

"Hehe~ Ye Chen, you're the best~"

Upon hearing Ye Chen agree to help, Wang Dong immediately felt relieved, and a bright smile spread across his face.

Without hesitation, she raised her head and gave Ye Chen a big kiss on the lips.

"Hmm, tell me how you've been lately, have you been thinking about me every day?"

Ye Chen smiled, carried Wang Dong to the door, closed and locked it behind him, then carried her back to the bed and gently put her down.

"Yes, of course!"

Wang Dong nodded immediately, like a chick pecking at rice, eagerly expressing her feelings, "I think about you all the time~"

Wang Dong chattered on and on, quickly giving a general overview of the mission.

"Our mission this time is to track down a small human trafficking gang, but unfortunately they are too cunning and don't go around every day. Xiao Xiao and I have been investigating for three days, but we haven't made a single clue..."

With a hint of grievance and complaint, Wang Dong described in detail the difficulties they encountered in their investigation, the places they had visited, and the clues they had discovered.

Ye Chen appeared to be listening, looking at her tenderly, but his mind was no longer on her words.

At this moment, Ye Chen's divine sense had silently penetrated deep into Wang Dong's unsuspecting body.

Ye Chen could only vaguely sense that strange presence from a distance.

Now that they were so close, and Wang Dong trusted him completely and was completely unguarded, Ye Chen's divine sense finally clearly detected that wisp of divine sense.

It was an extremely small blue trident mark, but it was currently dormant.

Even so, that mark still faintly exuded a powerful aura.

Ye Chen understood.

Maintaining consciousness also requires energy.

Wang Dong's own spiritual strength was far from sufficient to support the long-term activity of this wisp of external divine thought.

Therefore, this wisp of divine consciousness belonging to Tang San was in a deep dormant state most of the time.

Only when Wang Dong faces a true life-or-death crisis, or encounters the invasion of some giant creature, will this wisp of divine consciousness instantly awaken, swiftly driving away or even annihilating the intruder.

Although it was only a wisp of divine power, its origin from the deity was still an insurmountable mountain for Ye Chen in the past.

but now……

Ye Chen felt the immense power brought by his Divine Origin Realm spiritual energy, and then compared it with the dormant blue trident mark...

Ye Chen felt that his divine sense was slightly stronger than Tang San's wisp of divine sense.

It really is just a tiny bit...

Although Ye Chen was cursing Tang San, this guy was still quite capable and not someone Ye Chen could handle in his current state.

Fortunately, this was only a wisp of divine consciousness, not Tang San's true divine consciousness, so Ye Chen didn't find it too difficult to deal with.

"Success or failure hinges on this," Ye Chen thought to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Without further hesitation, Ye Chen unleashed the [Sealing] skill!
