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

An hour later.

Wang Dong lay softly against Ye Chen's chest.

"Hmph, so mean..." Wang Dong hummed softly.

I thought Xiao Xiao was exaggerating.

Now that she's experienced it for herself, she realizes that Xiao Xiao's words were somewhat euphemistic...

"Cough cough, no way..."

Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed; he had been exceptionally gentle today.

Of course, the main reason is that Xiao Xiao is coming back...

"Hmph, sophistry..."

Wang Dong muttered softly, his voice growing weaker and weaker, clearly indicating that he was getting sleepy.

Just then, the door was suddenly opened.

"Click~"

Immediately afterwards, a weary voice came from outside.

"Wang Dong, didn't you come back a while ago? Why aren't you resting yet?"

As soon as these words fell, a figure appeared at the doorway; it was Xiao Xiao, who had just finished her work.

The moment Xiao Xiao entered the room, she saw Ye Chen and Xiao Xiao...

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

……

……

……

The next morning.

Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting warm, dappled patterns on the wooden floor.

The air still carried the faint sweet scent of last night.

Ye Chen slowly woke up surrounded by an almost luxurious softness.

On the left is Wang Dong, a few strands of his light blue hair playfully brushing against his neck, causing a slight tickle.

At this moment, Wang Dong seemed to be fast asleep, her fair cheeks still flushed with the rosy glow of sleep, her long eyelashes casting a light shadow under her eyes, her cherry lips slightly pouting like a cat, and her warm arms loosely wrapped around Ye Chen's waist.

On the right is Xiao Xiao, who is almost curled up in Ye Chen's arms, a small and soft ball.

Her chubby cheeks pressed against Ye Chen's arm, her breathing even and long, her warm breath brushing against Ye Chen's skin. One little hand unconsciously clutched a bit of fabric at Ye Chen's chest, a gesture of complete dependence.

Feeling the distinct yet equally warm and soft touches on both sides, Ye Chen felt a surge of immense satisfaction.

Double the softness and fragrance, it's truly the pinnacle of life!

Ye Chen tightened his arms, embracing the two of them more closely, enjoying the rare tranquility of the dawn.

Perhaps Ye Chen's actions startled Wang Dong.

Wang Dong's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her large, pinkish-blue eyes were initially hazy with sleepiness, but then they met Ye Chen's smiling gaze.

"Hmm... Ye Chen, you're awake?"

Wang Dong glanced cautiously at Xiao Xiao, who was still fast asleep, then propped himself up on his arms and slowly sat up from Ye Chen's arms.

The thin blanket slipped off, revealing her beautifully shaped shoulders and back, and slender arms.

She rubbed her eyes, her voice still hoarse and soft from just waking up.

Ye Chen hummed in agreement, his gaze gently falling on her flushed earlobes.

Wang Dong avoided his gaze, cleared her throat, and whispered, "I...I'll go buy you breakfast."

As she spoke, she tried to throw off the covers and get out of bed, her movements revealing a panicked eagerness to escape the scene. She felt somewhat "in the wrong" last night, not only slacking off on the task but also monopolizing Ye Chen, even though Xiao Xiao eventually joined in... but she still wanted to make amends.

Well, this can be considered a form of compensation for Xiao Xiao.

"it is good."

Ye Chen did not stop her, but simply reached out his finger and gently brushed away a stray strand of hair from her cheek, the gesture intimate and natural.

This small gesture deepened the blush on Wang Dong's face.

She jumped out of bed quickly, her bare feet touching the cool floor, and slipped into the bathroom attached to the room.

Soon after, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

……

Ye Chen turned to the side, his gaze falling on Xiao Xiao, who was still nestled in his arms.

Xiao Xiao's face was rosy from sleeping, and he couldn't help but gently rub her smooth cheek with his fingertips.

It seemed that the slight touch startled her; Xiao Xiao's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Those big, dark eyes blinked blankly for a moment before focusing on Ye Chen's face, which was so close to theirs.

Immediately, memories of last night flooded back. She pouted, her voice thick with nasal congestion and the languor of just waking up, and gave a soft "humph," burying her head tightly in Ye Chen's arms.

"What, are you still angry with Wang Dong?"

Ye Chen chuckled and gently stroked Xiao Xiao's hair.

Xiao Xiao's hair is fine and soft, with a pleasant, faint sweet fragrance, and it feels very smooth to the touch.

"Hmph, I'm not that petty."

Xiao Xiao squirmed in his arms, muttering softly. Her voice, muffled and slightly complaining, came from Ye Chen's chest: "You're out having a good time, while Wang Dong and I have been working so hard on our missions, we're exhausted, and you don't even come to help us..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand and pinched Ye Chen's soft side lightly, "You bad boy!"

In front of others, she naturally tried her best to protect Ye Chen and speak up for him, appearing sensible and well-behaved.

But in Ye Chen's arms, she couldn't hide her little bit of grievance and her desire to be pampered.

She just needs Ye Chen to coax her and say a few nice things to her.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault."

Ye Chen readily admitted his mistake, tightened his arms, gave her a loud kiss on her smooth forehead, and then lowered his head to kiss her puffed-up, soft cheeks several more times.

"I rushed back especially for this task, and this task was carefully chosen for you by Sister Tao."

He enjoyed the soft, warm touch of her in his arms while patiently explaining and comforting her in a gentle tone.

"Your task isn't actually that difficult. I already have a clue, and I should be able to solve it for you tonight."

The task assigned to Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong can be described as having a moderate level of difficulty, serving as a genuine training opportunity while keeping the risks within a manageable range.

Compared to the life-or-death missions in the inner courtyard, this is much safer.

"Really? You can't lie to me?"

Xiao Xiao looked up at Ye Chen, her big eyes blinking excitedly.

Clearly, this was the answer she wanted.

She is strong-willed at heart and doesn't like to rely on others for everything, especially in front of outsiders, she wants to prove her own abilities.

But Ye Chen is an exception.

Ye Chen is her man. In front of him, she can let go of all her strength and enjoy the feeling of being protected.

This feeling made her feel incredibly safe and sweet.

"of course it's true."

Ye Chen pinched her small nose, and looking at her eyes that lit up instantly, his smile was full of doting affection.

Ye Chen paused, looking at Xiao Xiao's face, which was even brighter with joy, and continued, "However, we'll talk about the mission tonight. I'll spend the whole day with you, take you out for a stroll, and help you relax~"

"Uh-huh!"

Xiao Xiao was overjoyed, a sweet smile curving her lips, as if she had eaten the sweetest honey.

She buried her face back in Ye Chen's neck, nuzzling him like a spoiled kitten, her voice soft and sweet, "Ye Chen, you're the best~"
