Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 385 Xiao Wu: Do you harbor ulterior motives towards Sister Xiao Wu?

Xiao Wu seemed completely bewildered as to why everyone looked so shocked, blinking her big eyes with an innocent expression.

She had no choice; she was going all out to help her best friend get through this difficult time as quickly as possible.

As Zhu Qing just said, that task has a time limit and a penalty mechanism.

If she can't complete this phase of close contact in time, then not only will she have cat ears, but she might even grow a cat tail.

Of course, besides that, Xiao Wu also had her own selfish motives.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to confirm once again what secrets Lingbing possessed and why she was able to attract the Sea God's divine spark.

The closer he got to the boy, the more he could sense the aura emanating from him that calmed the sea god within him.

Especially when he boldly took Lingbing's hand, the Sea God's divine essence that had been tormenting him seemed to have found an outlet.

The sea god's power that was released was fundamentally incompatible with his own constitution and had even been rejecting him, yet it actually tried to leave his body and surge into the other's body.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine and awkwardly declined, saying, "Sister Xiaowu, does that mean we don't need to? You can apply sunscreen yourself."

Applying sunscreen to Nanali was a bit of a joke, but he didn't really resist it.

The relationship between the two was, to some extent, an unspoken understanding.

Applying sunscreen to Xiao Wu, or even Zhu Zhuqing, changes the whole situation.

Zhu Zhuqing was also filled with shame and indignation. She directly questioned Xiao Wu in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Xiao Wu, what exactly do you want to do? Is this something you can joke about so easily?"

Although it must be admitted, Ling Bing is indeed exceptionally handsome.

It could be said that in her memory, she had never seen such an ethereal man who could instantly inspire affection in anyone.

But that doesn't mean she can leave her body unprotected and allow a complete stranger she's only known for less than half a day to touch it at will.

Even though she hadn't seen Dai Mubai for over a thousand years because of his outrageous behavior and the need to take care of Xiao Wu.

But this does not mean that her bottom line can be trampled on at will.

If it weren't for Lingbing's decisive refusal earlier, which made her feel a little better, and the fact that Xiaowu was trying to help her complete the mission, she wouldn't have been able to calm down.

Given her temperament, she would probably turn on this rabbit right then and there and give it a hard time.

Faced with her friend's anger, Xiao Wu calmly responded telepathically:

"Zhuqing, you're usually so smart, how come you've become so confused at this crucial moment? Cupid is clearly targeting you and setting a trap for us."

You've seen the description of that task. If you're just thinking of casually trying it out, do you think you can complete it?

At this point, Xiao Wu's tone became a bit serious:

"That mission clearly involves more physical contact, it's designed to humiliate you. If a normal handshake doesn't work, what are you going to do next?"

Is it better to wait for a cat tail to actually grow out of your butt, or to wait to become a cat that can only meow?

Only after we get through this immediate crisis can we have the energy to think about what comes next, like settling scores with that guy.

"But……"

Zhu Zhuqing was about to retort when Xiao Wu interrupted her again before she could finish speaking.

"Oh, no buts. I know you don't like being touched by other men. But applying sunscreen is a gradual process. Once the task is completed, you can just stop, right?"

If even this level of contact is not possible, it can only mean that the task given by the evil god of love is a dead end and completely impossible to complete.

"When that time comes, we won't need to worry about the consequences; we'll just find a way to demolish this place and fight her to the death!"

Hearing this logically closed-loop explanation, Zhu Zhuqing still felt a little uneasy, sensing that something was amiss, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it for the time being.

Moreover, it must be admitted that this is indeed the least risky trial option at present.

In particular, her real cat ears were exceptionally sensitive; even a gentle sea breeze would send shivers down her spine, and the uncontrollable trembling drove her crazy.

She couldn't even imagine what would happen if a cat tail really grew out later.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was biting her lip and saying no more, it was clear that she had been persuaded by him.

Xiao Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She then turned her head and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was still hesitating. She showed a little bit of feigned anger on her face and said with a smile, "Lingbing, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Sister Xiaowu will eat you up?"

I'm already this old, and I only asked you to help me fulfill my filial duty because I consider you a younger relative.

"I'm just asking you to apply some sunscreen to your back, nothing else. We're all innocent. As long as you don't accidentally slip, what could possibly happen? Or is it..."

Xiao Wu took a step closer, her eyes filled with a hint of scrutiny:

"Actually, you're hiding something and have ulterior motives towards Sister Xiaowu, which is why you're too guilty to make a move. You don't treat me as a respectable elder at all?"

Seeing Xiao Wu deliberately putting on a stern face and acting like an elder, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

The reason he was able to apply it to Nanali was simply because that girl had long harbored ill intentions towards him, and even often offered herself to him for free.

During the time he was unconscious, except for the last step, she had already taken advantage of him in every other way, so there was no point in being coy at this point.

To apply it to Xiao Wu is a complete challenge to his moral bottom line.

It was precisely because he truly regarded Xiao Wu as an elder that he didn't want to make such a mistake.

However, Huo Yuhao was not given any opportunity to make an excuse.

Xiao Wu turned around and pushed Zhu Zhuqing, who was still struggling with her last mental struggle, towards the wooden house, giving instructions as she pushed:

"Alright, Xiaomei, go to the changing room and get ready. Change out of that cumbersome maid outfit and into your swimsuit. In the meantime, Lingbing will apply sunscreen for Xiaowu. Once you're ready, it'll be your turn..."

Having been pushed, Zhu Zhuqing finally seemed to resign herself to her fate, lowering her head and walking quickly toward the locker room.

Seeing that the biggest obstacle had been overcome, Xiao Wu's smile instantly turned sly.

She deftly laid the beach chair flat, then naturally lay down on it, stretching out her graceful figure.

She casually swept her long, disheveled hair to the side, instantly revealing her back, which had been hidden, gleaming white in the sunlight like the finest mutton-fat jade.

Xiao Wu turned her head to the side, resting it on her arm, and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was still frozen in place, with a slightly lazy gaze, urging him:

"Alright, Lingbing, stop dawdling. Sister Xiaowu is all ready. Don't let me down, okay? Hurry up and come on."

Huo Yuhao glanced at the bottle of sunscreen on the table, then couldn't help but glance at Xiao Wu, who was lying on the beach chair.

To make it easier to apply the ointment to her back, Xiao Wu deliberately untied the straps at the back of her swimsuit.

That is as warm and smooth as jade It squeezes out an amazing arc on the beach chair.

Following the undulating curves like a snake, you will eventually stop at those long, strong, jade-like legs.

Especially the ten toes, which were like pearls and white jade, were now anxiously curling up and stretching.

Clearly, Xiao Wu was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

In fact, Xiao Wu was quite flustered inside.

Although she kept trying to convince herself that it was all for the right thing, to explore the limits of the attraction of the Spirit Ice to the Sea God's divine status.

But the method of this experiment undoubtedly meant that she would be having such intimate physical contact with the first man besides her third brother.

Although she was extremely disappointed in her third brother, if it weren't for the inexplicable familiarity she felt with Ling Bing, the completely non-repulsive and even somewhat intoxicating aura she experienced during their close contact, and her instinctive trust in his character, she would have remained steadfast.

Even Xiao Wu, who is usually quite unconventional, would never make such an outrageous decision at this moment.

Seeing that Lingbing was standing there in a daze and hadn't made a move, Xiaowu could only suppress her shyness and try to speak in a lighthearted, joking tone.

"What's wrong, Lingbing? Your daughter is already so grown up, why are you still acting like a shy little boy who has never seen the world?"

"Just treat Xiaowu's back like a piece of rabbit meat; you can rub it on it with your eyes closed and nothing will happen."

Rabbit meat?

Huo Yuhao subconsciously swallowed.

This metaphor is so apt that it leaves one speechless.

She didn't reply, but instead gave Nanali, who was equally stunned, a look.

As the most loyal little bell, Nunnally immediately understood and received her master's distress signal.

The next moment, Xiao Wu, who had been closing her eyes and trying to calm her pounding heart, was suddenly stopped.

Suddenly sensing someone approaching, she thought it was Huo Yuhao who had finally made up his mind to come over, and a mix of nervousness and anticipation welled up inside her.

But then, the touch of the hand that landed on his back felt obviously wrong.

They were a pair of slightly petite hands, lacking the broad, warm feel of a man's hands.

Before she could react, Nanali's cheeky voice rang in her ears:

"Oh dear, Ancestor Xiaowu, Lingbing just applied the ointment to my entire body. It took her a lot of effort, and now she's so tired she can't even lift her arms."

As a junior, it's my duty to apply sunscreen for you, so why should I trouble Lingbing to do it herself?

If you think I'm not strong enough, or if there's anywhere I haven't spread it evenly, just tell me. Little Bell guarantees to provide excellent service and make sure you, our ancestor, feel comfortable.

"you……"

Xiao Wu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Nanali's innocent smile. She was so angry at these words that she almost couldn't catch her breath.

This feeling is just like when I first learned about the despicable things Tang San did to Xiao Qi and Yu Hao for the so-called test; it made my heart feel heavy.

She really couldn't understand it either.

Why does Lingbing, who has so many female confidantes around him, act so distant and even try to deceive him when it comes to her?

Am I really that unattractive?

Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Wu suddenly look up and glare at him before angrily lying back down. She was clearly speechless after this whole ordeal.

In matters that are extremely prone to moral crises, while escapism may be somewhat shameful, it is undeniably very effective.

However, before he could even catch his breath, he heard light footsteps behind him.

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively turned around.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had changed into her swimsuit, was walking slowly towards them.

At this moment, she was like a black cat with an extremely alluring gait.

Her long, purplish-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, creating a striking visual contrast with her snow-white skin.

The purple-black bikini she was wearing was exceptionally well-fitting, and it was stretched taut by her stunning figure.

If the previous Yuanen Yehui could be considered quite large-scale, it still carried a bit of the naivety unique to young girls.

What Zhu Zhuqing exuded, however, was an extremely mature and alluring charm.

Her slender waist and long, shapely legs exude an astonishing charm.

However, the black cat ears on her head that were trembling slightly with the sea breeze softened her aloofness and added a charmingly unexpected cuteness to her.

Zhu Zhuqing took a few steps closer and looked at Xiao Wu, who was lying on the beach chair, looking utterly hopeless as she "enjoyed" Nanali's massage. A hint of speechlessness flashed in her eyes.

Her best friend had just confidently agreed to help Lingbing apply sunscreen, but now she was using this as a way to test her.

As a result, she deliberately sent herself away to change into her swimsuit.

After all that, it turns out she wanted to take advantage of her absence and secretly have Nanali do it for her, thus smoothing things over.

Xiao Wu can do that, but I can't.

The task that damned Cupid gave me is still hanging in the sea of ​​my mind.

If he doesn't make physical contact with Lingbing as soon as possible, not only will the mission fail, but he will also face an even more humiliating punishment.

Only in this way can Cupid confirm whether Ling Bing is truly Huo Yuhao.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and stood directly in front of Huo Yuhao.

He handed over the bottle of sunscreen he was also holding, trying to keep his voice steady:

"Mr. Lingbing, since Nanali is taking care of Xiaowu, could you please help me apply it? There are some areas on my back that I can't reach by myself."

Huo Yuhao looked at the sunscreen handed to him, then at Zhu Zhuqing, whose face showed difficulty and who was clearly forcing herself to stay awake, and gently suggested:

"How about we wait a bit? After Nanali finishes applying it for Xiaowu, I'll have her apply it for you. It's easier for girls to help each other out."

Huo Yuhao always held his true ancestor in high esteem, as he would a senior.

Although he had given her a massage back when they were still in the realm of gods, due to certain special circumstances.

But that was all in the past, and the situation was completely different from now, so Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't generalize about it.
