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

Chapter 48 Sleeping Together: A Gentleman Uses Words, Not Hands
Ye Chen didn't care about or even look into Bei Bei and Tang Ya's affairs, lest he be caught by that old man, Mu En.

After all, he didn't intentionally manipulate Tang Ya and Bei Bei's relationship; it was just a minor friction between the couple.

Ye Chen only wanted to do his job as the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan and serve the Tang Clan wholeheartedly.

Incidentally, they also provide "help" to the Tang Clan leader in cultivation, striving to "rebuild the glory of the Tang Clan"!
He works so hard, all for the Tang Clan, and no one can find fault with him.

Upon entering the inner courtyard, Ye Chen easily found his way to Ma Xiaotao's room and opened the door to go inside.

"Sister Xiaotao, I'm back~" Ye Chen called out.

Ma Xiaotao is still very hardworking. Even though she cultivates until the early hours of the morning every day, only for one or two hours a day, she is definitely not asleep yet.

Ye Chen took a quick shower first, then wrapped himself in a bathrobe and quietly arrived at Ma Xiaotao's door.

Through the crack in the door, you could see that the soul-guiding light inside had gone out.

When Ye Chen returned, the light in Ma Xiaotao's room was still on, clearly indicating that it had just been turned off.

Ye Chen gently turned the doorknob.

"Click~"

Sure enough, the door wasn't locked.

In the morning, he suggested that he wanted to sleep with Ma Xiaotao every day.

Although Ma Xiaotao gave a vague and perfunctory answer, she did not refuse.

If the door isn't locked, that definitely means it's accepted.

"Sister Tao, are you asleep?"

Ye Chen stealthily crept to the bedside.

Although the room was dark, Ye Chen could still see Ma Xiaotao wrapped in the blankets, and he could clearly hear her heartbeat gradually quickening.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly, feeling confident, and then kicked the blanket over himself and crawled inside.

"ah--"

A series of ripples suddenly came from inside the blankets.

The situation quickly calmed down.

Ye Chen held Ma Xiaotao in his arms, feeling her warm embrace, and looked completely content.

Ma Xiaotao was only wearing a silk nightgown.

The feeling of being close to someone is the same as not having anything at all.

Especially since the skirt was very short, Ye Chen wrapped his arms around Ma Xiaotao's slender waist, with one hand...

"It's a promise, you're just going to sleep, no moving around..." Ma Xiaotao gently patted Ye Chen's hoof away and muttered softly.

"Mmm~ A gentleman uses words, not fists, I understand."

Ye Chen nodded obediently and withdrew his hand.

……

……

The next day.

Ma Xiaotao got up early.

As she wiped the drool from her chest, she glanced at Ye Chen, who was still fast asleep, and muttered under her breath, "What a naughty guy, he can't even sleep peacefully..."

Despite her confusion, Ma Xiaotao didn't refuse; if Ye Chen liked it, she would let him eat it.

Moreover, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage sleeping with Ye Chen; one night's sleep would basically completely extinguish the evil fire accumulated in her body.

She has now resumed her previous cultivation speed, and the amount of evil fire she accumulates each day is dozens of times greater than when she wasn't cultivating.

With the help of Ye Chen's cool and refreshing body, the evil fire accumulated over two or three days could be completely extinguished in one night.

I have to say, Ye Chen is really useful.

She had been stuck at level 63 Soul Emperor for over a year. Since using Ye Chen, she was no longer troubled by the Evil Fire, and her Soul Power has now increased to level 64.

She has accumulated a lot of experience and is now making a breakthrough. If she continues like this, she is confident that she can reach level 69 within a year and the Soul Saint realm within two years!
...Ma Xiaotao prepared breakfast.

Ye Chen also got up sleepily, washed up quickly, and sat down at the dining table to enjoy Ma Xiaotao's loving breakfast.

"Hmph, did you sleep well last night, you little rascal?" Ma Xiaotao stretched out her small foot, wrapped in white silk, and stepped on Ye Chen, humming softly.

"Mmm, sleeping soundly~" Ye Chen chuckled and nodded obediently.

"Don't do that again next time," Ma Xiaotao said coquettishly.

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time." Ye Chen nodded obediently as always.

The main point is to listen to advice but never change one's ways.

"What a little rascal..." She rolled her eyes at Ye Chen, but didn't say anything more.

She knew Ye Chen's personality well. Her words just now weren't meant to make Ye Chen change his ways, but rather to prevent him from pushing his luck.

She didn't sleep well last night, mainly because she was only wearing a short nightgown and was hugging Ye Chen. She was afraid of Ye Chen...

"I'll have to wear underwear next time..." Ma Xiaotao thought to herself, just in case something unexpected happened.

It wasn't that she was unwilling, but Ye Chen was still young, and she couldn't lead him astray.

She had already considered Ye Chen as her little husband, and she would give him to her when he grew up.

"Sister Xiaotao, why are you spacing out?"

Seeing Ma Xiaotao staring blankly at him, Ye Chen gently waved his hand in front of her.

"Oh...it's nothing...by the way..."

Ma Xiaotao snapped out of her reverie, as if she had just remembered something, and said, "Your assessment results should be out by now. Today, the teacher asked me to take you to the Sea God Pavilion. Let's set off after lunch."

"Oh, where is the Sea God Pavilion? I've never heard of it."

Ye Chen feigned curiosity and chatted with Ma Xiaotao while eating.

"The Sea God Pavilion is the sacred ground of the entire Shrek Academy. All the titled Douluo elders of Shrek Academy live near the Sea God Pavilion, and everything in Shrek Academy is in their hands..."

"Hmph~ Junior brother, let me tell you, you've hit the jackpot this time. Senior sister has put in a lot of good words for you, so you're sure to get a lot of benefits this time."

Ma Xiaotao hummed softly, her gaze towards Ye Chen filled with envy.

Most importantly, Zhang Lexuan's praise and commendation of Ye Chen will greatly enhance the elders of the Sea God Pavilion's approach to cultivating Ye Chen.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll have to repay Senior Sister properly when I have the chance~" Ye Chen smiled brightly, as the scene from that night flashed through his mind...

Compared to Ma Xiaotao's fiery temper and straightforwardness.

Zhang Lexuan is gentle and considerate, and also a "big" older sister.

"Since you don't cherish it, Beibei, then I'll cherish it properly for you~" Ye Chen thought to himself.

……

Ye Chen and Ma Xiaotao finished their simple breakfast.

The two changed into more formal school uniforms and then headed towards the Sea God Pavilion.

Following the narrow paths, the two soon arrived at the center of Poseidon Island.

This place is shrouded in mist year-round.

The Sea God Pavilion is like a giant pillar reaching to the sky, soaring straight up into the deepest part of the clouds.

Most people might not understand it and only think that the Sea God Pavilion is built relatively high.

But Ye Chen knew that the entire Sea God Pavilion was made from the trunk of the "Golden Ancient Tree".

The reason why there is such a thick fog in the sky above Poseidon Island is because the "Golden Ancient Tree" is so big that it blocks out the sky and "replaces" the sky. This fog is actually just clouds.

The Golden Tree is also a valuable item, containing a "Seed of a Dimension." If Ye Chen could obtain it in the future, it would be extremely important to him...
