"Demoness?"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the girl.
The newcomer was none other than Hu Jia, the infamous demoness of the outer court of Jia Nan Academy.
In fact, this wasn't the first time Hu Jia had ambushed Mu Chen. After being thrown into the academy's lake by Mu Chen the first time, Hu Jia would occasionally attack him, but she never gained any advantage. Instead, she always ended up being bullied by Mu Chen, her eyes turning red.
Mu Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said indifferently, "It seems you have a penchant for peeping."
Hu Jia remained silent. She not only liked women but also men. Her sexual orientation was similar to Zi Zhenzhu's—bisexual. In fact, she had been here for a while, and watching Mu Chen and Xiao Yu being intimate had indeed stirred a strange excitement within her.
Mu Chen looked at his hand and continued, "After suffering so many losses, you still dare to come to me. Tell me, is your bottom itching again?"
Hu Jia: "..."
Hu Jia instinctively touched her bottom. Every time her ambush failed, she would be punished by Mu Chen. His punishment was simple and brutal—he wouldn't stop until her bottom turned purple.
After each beating, Hu Jia would feel a strange sensation that would invade her heart. It was a feeling she had never experienced before. As she looked at Mu Chen's sinful hand, her face couldn't help but flush.
"Still not leaving? Do you want to be beaten again?" Mu Chen asked with a mischievous smile.
Today, Mu Chen had already found satisfaction with Xiao Yu, so he had no interest in Hu Jia.
"Hmph... You stole my beauty. I won't let this go so easily," Hu Jia glanced at Xiao Yu, threw these harsh words at Mu Chen, and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Mu Chen, I should go back too," Xiao Yu stood up, straightening her clothes that had been wrinkled by Mu Chen's touch.
"How about not going back tonight?" Mu Chen asked, half-jokingly.
"No," Xiao Yu refused. "Mu Chen, I'm a traditional woman. The most precious thing must be saved for the wedding night."
"Alright, alright, I know. Goodnight," Mu Chen said indifferently.
"Mu Chen, are you... feeling very uncomfortable?" Xiao Yu's face turned red as she asked, her gaze shifting downward, hinting at something.
"Of course, I'm a normal man. You only let me have a taste each time. How could I not feel uncomfortable?" Mu Chen replied honestly.
Mu Chen was no longer a virgin. He had already played with Xiao Wu, teased Xiao Bai, and had his way with Hu Liena, Zi Zhenzhu, the Goddess of Life, and the Goddess of Kindness. Oh, and there was also Qian Renxue.
It had been some time since Mu Chen left the Douluo Dimension, and he hadn't had any "meat" for a while. Just now, Xiao Yu had only let him have a small taste, which definitely made him feel uncomfortable.
"How about I help you with my hand?" Xiao Yu asked, her face blushing.
"How about trying a different method?" Mu Chen placed his hand on his lips.
"Ah?" Xiao Yu was stunned, her ears turning red.
"Forget it. This is too difficult for you. I won't force you," Mu Chen sighed lightly.
"No, it's not forced," Xiao Yu quickly responded, then paused, realizing what she was saying. Her face turned so red it seemed like it would bleed. She stepped forward, standing in front of Mu Chen, and said, "As long as I can save the most precious thing for the wedding night, I'm willing to do anything."
"Xiao Yu!"
Mu Chen looked into Xiao Yu's eyes. With a wife like this, what more could he say? Moved, Mu Chen pulled Xiao Yu tightly into his arms.
...
Half an hour later, Xiao Yu, still blushing, turned and headed towards the dormitory at the foot of the mountain. As for Mu Chen, a satisfied smile hung on his face as he watched Xiao Yu leave.
After Xiao Yu left, Mu Chen took out the Enlightenment Futon and began to continue comprehending the law of fire. In his heart, he had a feeling that he was on the verge of breaking through the barrier of the fire attribute's law. Just one more step, and he would be able to master the power of the fire attribute's law.
Mu Chen sat on the Enlightenment Futon, closed his eyes, and his mind once again entered a strange world. It was a world filled with flames.
Mu Chen immersed himself completely in this world. He was no longer a person but a wisp of flame. Following the army, he continuously rose, turning into a plume of smoke. This cycle repeated endlessly.
In Mu Chen's consciousness, only this image appeared, with no accompanying text. Compared to other enlightenment seekers, this was already quite good.
"I understand."
Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, flicked his finger, and a wisp of flame shot out, igniting a patch of ground around him. The appearance of the flame slightly warmed the surrounding temperature. As the weeds burned, old flames disappeared, and new, more intense flames emerged.
"原来如此."
Mu Chen was overjoyed, a smug smile on his lips. With a thought, he flicked his finger again, and another wisp of flame shot out.
This flame was different from the previous one. The latter flame had a much more tangible presence than the former. If one looked closely, they could see faint red vein-like patterns within the flame.
The flame Mu Chen shot out this time seemed alive. It had undergone a subtle, profound, and mysterious transformation.
Although both were wisps of flame, the temperature they emitted was different. The latter flame's temperature and the energy it contained were clearly superior to the former. Mu Chen was confident that even that small wisp of flame could instantly kill a Dou Zong-level expert.
Of course, this was Mu Chen's conservative estimate. The true combat power of a flame imbued with the law of fire would need to be determined through actual combat.
"What a pity, the treasure already has an owner."
A clear, regretful voice came from behind Mu Chen.
Mu Chen turned to see a little girl who had appeared behind him at some point.
The girl had purple hair, delicate features, and extremely fair skin. Judging by her appearance, she seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old. Her large, pitch-black eyes were fixed on the Enlightenment Futon beneath Mu Chen.
"Purple hair? White clothes?"
Mu Chen's heart tightened, and he pondered. Could this be Zi Yan, the powerful figure from the inner court of Jia Nan Academy?
Mu Chen shook his head, dismissing the thought. Zi Yan was in the inner court of Jia Nan Academy, and this was the outer court. The outer and inner courts were separated by nearly a hundred miles. How could Zi Yan appear here?
But if the person in front of him wasn't Zi Yan, then who was this little girl with purple hair and white clothes?
Mu Chen asked, "Little girl, who are you? What's your name? Why are you here alone?"
