Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 61 Intimate Contact

Xuanzi chuckled and did not respond to Wang Yan's complaints.

"I know Ji Lin, he's a little monster. But I'm more interested in that kid whose martial soul is an eye. The strength of a physical martial soul depends on its importance to the body. The more important this part of the body is to the human body, the better the physical martial soul. So, what really interests me is that spirit-eyed boy. Hair can grow back, but what about eyes? Moreover, he has a spiritual attribute. That means his martial soul is actually his eyes and brain."

Xuanzi stood up and stretched, looking quite relaxed and content.

He looked at Wang Yan and smiled, "You're very lucky. You've come across a top-tier Body Martial Soul that hasn't been discovered by the Body Sect. You said you made a deal with that little guy, and he'll cooperate with your research. So make the most of this opportunity; the chance to research a top-tier Body Martial Soul is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Xuanzi narrowed his eyes and continued, "I heard that little guy is only around level ten, so he probably hasn't unlocked the potential of his martial soul. If the Body Sect discovers his existence, given their style, they might very well come knocking and snatch him away. But since he's come to Shrek Academy, he's one of us now. That little guy is in your hands. How far you can train him depends on your abilities."

Upon hearing Dao Xuanzi's words, Wang Yan's expression changed. He had heard about the Body Sect's style, and it was indeed possible that they would come to snatch people away.

However, upon hearing Xuanzi mention entrusting Huo Yuhao to his training, Wang Yan replied respectfully with a serious expression, "Yes, Elder Xuan, I will do my best to train Huo Yuhao."

Ji Lin and Huo Yuhao were completely unaware of their conversation.

As night fell, Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er were cultivating in a grove of trees by the Sea God Lake. There was no other way; the dormitory was not convenient for the two of them to cultivate. Ji Lin could not go to the girls' dormitory, and Wang Qiu'er could not stay in the boys' dormitory. So the two of them could only find a relatively secluded grove of trees to cultivate.

Fortunately, the environment by Poseidon Lake is quite nice, with fresh air, suitable for cultivation, and not many people bother us at night.

As evening deepened into night, time quietly slipped away. Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er sat cross-legged facing each other, their hands clasped together, and their auras subtly underwent strange changes. The colors of their auras intertwined and merged further. Even their soul power began to flow into each other's bodies, forming a peculiar cycle. Red and gold light flowed back and forth around them, gradually brightening until finally transforming into a large cocoon of gold and red that enveloped them both.

Nothing happened that night, and dawn gradually broke.

The golden and red cocoons gradually faded, revealing what lay inside.

Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er lay on the ground, fast asleep, their arms wrapped tightly around each other. Wang Qiu'er's head rested on Ji Lin's chest, her hands clasped tightly around him. They had been so engrossed in their cultivation the night before that they had unknowingly been drawn to each other's aura, gradually drawing closer until they finally embraced and fell into a deep sleep.

This was the first time the two of them had fallen into this state during cultivation. In the past, they would return to their dormitory to rest after cultivating until late at night, but this situation was a first for them.

Soon, the sounds of other students passing by outside the woods woke the two who were fast asleep.

Wang Qiu'er's body moved first.

"Mmm." Wang Qiu'er's voice, still slightly languid and comfortable, came from just waking up, as if she were still immersed in a sweet dream. She slowly opened her hazy eyes and saw Ji Lin's face so close to hers.

She blinked in confusion at first, then her gaze gradually focused from the blur and landed on the familiar face in front of her.

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Wang Qiu'er's heart, a mixture of surprise at the sudden intimate contact and a sense of bewilderment.

Just then, Ji Lin groggily opened his eyes and saw a pair of pinkish-blue eyes staring straight at him.

Wang Qiu'er stared wide-eyed at Ji Lin's bewildered blue eyes. A hint of embarrassment and shyness flashed across her face. She hadn't expected Ji Lin to open his eyes and wake up at that very moment.

Filled with shame and anger, Wang Qiu'er climbed out of Ji Lin's arms, glaring at him with her pinkish-blue eyes, and said in a panicked tone, "What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll beat you up."

Ji Lin was caught off guard by her reaction. He stood there, stunned, looking at Wang Qiu'er, clearly still confused about the situation after just waking up.

Soon, Ji Lin, whose mind had cleared, recalled what had happened. Wang Qiu'er had just climbed out of his arms. He remembered the softness he felt when he woke up, the lingering fragrance in his arms, and Wang Qiu'er's embarrassed and shy appearance.

He had figured things out. It was clear that they had been too engrossed in their cultivation last night and had fallen asleep together, and then unknowingly ended up in each other's arms.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin quickly got up from the ground, looked at Wang Qiu'er awkwardly, and said, "I'm sorry, Qiu'er, this was an accident, it was beyond our control."

Wang Qiu'er wasn't really angry, just a little embarrassed and shy. Seeing Ji Lin apologize, she forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath and said, "I know, I'll go back to the dormitory first. I haven't been back all night, Dong'er must be worried."

Without waiting for Ji Lin's reaction, he turned and ran towards the dormitory, clearly using all his strength.

Watching Wang Qiu'er's retreating figure, Ji Lin shook his head with amusement, put his hands in his pockets, whistled, and slowly walked towards the dormitory, clearly in a very pleasant mood.

The preliminary round-robin tournament has ended. Today is class time. He went back to the dormitory and explained to Huo Yuhao why he didn't go back to the dormitory last night. The two of them went to the cafeteria for breakfast. When they ran into Wang Qiu'er and the other girl, Wang Qiu'er ignored him. She was obviously still a little embarrassed and didn't dare to face him.

Wang Dong'er, on the other hand, kept looking at him with curiosity on her face, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. She was clearly very interested in what had happened between him and Wang Qiu'er last night.

Wang Dong'er knew that Wang Qiu'er often cultivated with Ji Lin, but she never stayed out all night.

Although Wang Qiu'er explained that she was too engrossed in her cultivation and didn't come to her senses until morning.

But Wang Dong'er didn't believe it. Overly curious, she was very interested in what had happened between the two of them last night.

She was filled with doubts and could not suppress her curiosity about what had happened between Wang Qiu'er and Ji Lin last night.

She longed to know the truth, but was afraid to ask Wang Qiu'er directly, fearing she would be beaten.

Judging from Ji Lin's expression, it was clear that Ji Lin was unlikely to reveal any information to her.

So on her way to class, Wang Dong'er was dejected the whole time.
