When Huanhuan woke up, she realized that she had returned to the house.
Her entire body was sore and weak, especially below her waist. She could barely feel anything.
Recalling Xue Ling’s endless demands last night, she was furious.
She had clearly said no, but that guy still refused to let go of her.
And those embarrassing positions. Just thinking about them made her feel embarrassed.
Huanhuan rubbed her aching waist. “Shameless old hooligan!”
The ‘old hooligan’ pushed open the door and walked in. He was no longer the beast he was last night. He sat down beside her neatly dressed and reached out to massage her waist.
“Does it still hurt?”
Huanhuan glared at him weakly. “What do you think?”
Xue Ling smiled silently. He let Huanhuan lie on the bed and reached out to undress her.
Huanhuan was so frightened that she quickly covered her chest. “What are you doing?!”
Xue Ling took out a small bowl that was filled with some white ointment. He said, “Don’t be nervous. I just want to apply some medicine for you.”
He had indeed overdone it last night, causing her to be covered in bruises and red marks.
He had specially brewed this ointment. It could be used to promote blood circulation. Moreover, it smelled good and was suitable for Huanhuan to use.
Huanhuan realized that she was overthinking and couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
She let go and let Xue Ling take off her clothes, revealing her smooth and fair skin.
Xue Ling was slightly stunned. The bruises and red marks on her body were all gone!
Her skin was as smooth as white jade. There were no traces of last night.
Huanhuan was curious when he stared at her without saying anything. She looked down and realized that her skin was flawless.
She immediately realized that the divine tree seed must have helped her quickly remove the traces on her body.
She said, “It’s the effect of the divine tree seed. It helps me heal quickly.”
Only then did Xue Ling remember that there was the Divine Wood seed in her body.
Since there were no more bruises and red marks, there was no need to apply medicine.
Huanhuan sat up and was about to put on her clothes when Xue Ling stopped her.
He reached out and touched Huanhuan’s stomach. “What is this thing you have here?”
Huanhuan looked down and saw a small white flower bud growing in her belly button!
Her eyes widened in surprise. “What’s going on?”
Xue Ling lowered his head and leaned close to observe for a moment. He said, “This should be a flower from the Divine Wood seen.”
Huanhuan was instantly shocked.
Not only could the Divine Wood seed germinate, but it could also bloom?!
It was fine if it bloomed, but it actually grew a flower from her belly button?!
If it grew into a big tree in the future, would it rush out of her head?!
Just the thought of it was terrifying!
Xue Ling poked the bud and smiled. “It’s quite cute. It suits you.”
For some reason, when he poked the bud, Huanhuan felt her entire body tremble. “Mmph~”
As soon as the sound came out, Huanhuan came back to her senses. She quickly covered her mouth and blushed.
Xue Ling heard her moan, and his smile became even more charming. He said meaningfully, “Looks like this little flower is your sensitive spot…”
Huanhuan quickly denied it. “No!”
Xue Ling did not argue with her. He reached out his slender fingers and gently touched the flower bud.
Huanhuan shivered again.
Even through clenched teeth, a little moan escaped her throat.
Her skin gradually turned from fair to pale pink, and her eyes gradually became misty. She seemed to be shy but also expectant.
Xue Ling chuckled. “You’re so cute like this. You’re so cute that I want to bite you and eat you.”
Huanhuan looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Don’t be like this…”
Xue Ling bit her soft lips. “Call me darling~”
This form of address was too embarrassing. Huanhuan didn’t want to call him that.
Xue Ling pinched the bud on her navel. She wanted to dodge his hands, but she was too weak to do so.
She could only beg for mercy. “Let me go…”
He whispered in her ear, “If you don’t call out to me, I won’t let go.”
Huanhuan was forced into a corner. In the end, she could only compromise and call him ‘darling’ in a low voice.
Xue Ling smiled in satisfaction.
He let go of the poor little flower and kissed her forehead. “What a good baby~”
Big baddie! Huanhuan turned around angrily and pulled the blanket up to cover her body. She faced Xue Ling with the back of her head.
Xue Ling poked her through the blanket. “Aren’t you hungry? I made your favorite shrimp dumplings and sweet soup.”
Hearing that there was something delicious, Huanhuan couldn’t help but swallow.
She had been tormented all night and slept until now. She had not eaten anything for most of the day and was already hungry.
But she was sulking now. She couldn’t give in so easily.
She wanted that big baddie Xue Ling to understand that she was not so easy to bully!
Xue Ling’s hearing was good. He heard her swallow, and his smile deepened.
He asked again, “Are you sure you don’t want some?”
Huanhuan hesitated for two seconds between food and her dignity. Then, she decisively abandoned her dignity and lifted the blanket. She crawled over. “I’ll eat!”
Unexpectedly, she accidentally twisted her waist.
“Ouch! It hurts!”
Xue Ling quickly supported her and massaged her waist. Seeing that her face was scrunched up in pain, he couldn’t help but say, “Slow down. No one is fighting with you for the food.”
Huanhuan looked at him plaintively. “It’s all your fault.”
“What does it have to do with me?”
“Would I have twisted my back if you hadn’t deliberately seduced me with delicious food?”
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows. “Are you trying to argue?”
Huanhuan snorted awkwardly.
Xue Ling went downstairs to serve the food.
The fresh and sweet shrimp dumplings were really delicious with the sweet soup!
In one breath, she finished more than 10 shrimp dumplings and a large bowl of sweet soup.
She touched her bloated stomach and burped contentedly.
Xue Ling asked, “Is it delicious?”
As soon as Huanhuan saw his smile, she remembered how this guy had bullied her. She turned her head and deliberately gave him a perfunctory answer.
Xue Ling hugged her from behind. “I know you still prefer Bai Di’s cooking, but he’s not at home today, so you’ll have to make do with my cooking.”
Huanhuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. “Where did Bai Di go?”
“The Divine Wood is gone. The high priest gathered all the beasts in the city to ask about the whereabouts of the Divine Wood. Bai Di and Xuan Wei have been called in for questioning.”
Huanhuan and Xue Ling were originally called over as well, but because Huanhuan had been unconscious since she returned, they stayed in the house.
Xue Ling was worried about her and stayed to take care of her.
