Chapter 107 Gu Yuena, under explanation
"You're awake? You must be hungry by now," Huo Yuhao said, looking at Gu Yuena coming down the stairs from the attic.
As he spoke, he skillfully put on his apron. "Could you take Zhu Lu to the bathroom in that guest room to shower first? I'll go to the kitchen and make you dinner."
Huo Yuhao felt at ease entrusting Zhu Lu to Gu Yuena.
Previously, when he gave special tutoring to a few students from the outer courtyard, a certain gluttonous Silver Dragon King was always present.
Although the two are not very familiar with each other, they are not complete strangers.
Gu Yuena, still wearing loose pajamas, gazed at Zhu Lu's curvaceous figure.
She herself is not the type who can see the ground flat as soon as she looks down.
But as a dragon with a smooth figure, she can only be described as being small enough to be held in one hand, not the hot and voluptuous type.
As Huo Yuhao walked into the kitchen, only Gu Yuena and Zhu Lu remained in the living room, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange.
Zhu Lu's beautiful heterochromatic eyes were already filled with tension.
After all, not everyone is like Huo Yuhao, able to maintain a calm mind when facing a titled Douluo-level ruler.
Not to mention that the lady before me is such a beautiful woman.
Previously, among the freshmen of the outer academy, Wang Dong'er's appearance was undisputed to be the best, and it seemed that no one in the inner academy could compare with her.
But the woman in front of her was definitely more beautiful than Wang Dong'er.
Not to mention the ethereal and noble aura she exudes, which is incomparable to Wang Dong'er's slightly immature beauty.
When Gu Yuena visited their small group in the outer courtyard before, they were already extremely nervous, let alone now that they were alone together.
The kitten, who already had a bit of an inferiority complex, was so nervous that it almost fainted on the spot.
"Come upstairs with me. Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you."
Gu Yuena walked upstairs first with a blank expression.
"You should have brought your own toiletries, right? There are quite a few other people's toiletries in that bathroom, and you can't just use those."
Following Gu Yuena upstairs, Zhu Lu, who was initially a little nervous, looked puzzled upon hearing Gu Yuena's words: "Other people's toiletries?"
"It's mainly about Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen. A while ago, Ma Xiaotao mistakenly used a bottle of skincare product that Ling Luochen seemed to have very precious. As a result, Ling Luochen, in order to get revenge, drank the papaya milk that Ma Xiaotao was preparing to drink after taking a bath. Because of this incident, the two of them almost demolished the entire attic."
Gu Yuena walked ahead, talking as she went. Then, as if remembering something, she stopped in the second-floor corridor, looked at Zhu Lu, blinked, and asked, "Do you usually drink papaya milk?"
"Papaya milk?" Zhu Lu shook her head, not quite understanding why His Majesty was suddenly asking this, but she still honestly replied, "I usually only drink a glass of regular milk after taking a bath."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena pulled out a small booklet from somewhere and began taking notes.
She nodded and said, "So, papaya milk doesn't actually have any special effects? It seems that Ling Luochen has been drinking three large cups every day since that day, hoping he'll be alright."
As she continued, Gu Yuena added a touch of inexplicable emotion.
Unlike humans, her body cannot continue to develop.
Even if she can freely change her form, it is still just an illusion; her true form has already grown into what it is now.
After sighing, Gu Yuena pushed open the door to the guest room and led Zhu Lu in again.
"By the way, don't touch the clothes in the closet. If you're planning to stay overnight, put your personal clothes in that empty closet and don't mix them with theirs."
Looking at Gu Yuena, who was skillfully explaining various precautions to her, Zhu Lu finally overcame her nervousness and mustered up the courage to ask, "Senior, has this room been occupied by many people?"
"If we don't count you, there's Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Wu Ming, Han Ruoruo, and oh right, Ning Tian and Jiang Nannan from the outer courtyard. And then there shouldn't be anyone else."
Zhu Lu's expression became somewhat subtle as she listened to this string of familiar names.
Gu Yuena seemed oblivious to her strange behavior, casually tossing her hair. "It's all because of that old codger from the Sea God Pavilion who won't allow renovations to the pavilion, not even adding a few more floors. He's so stingy."
After Zhu Lu finished bathing, she came down from the second floor, still warm.
It's like how guys subconsciously think they're at their most handsome after taking a shower.
A beautiful girl's appearance after taking a bath becomes even more alluring.
The skin, moisturized by warm water, became even more radiant and delicate, with a rosy glow.
Zhu Lu still carried a faint milky scent.
Those wet, heterochromatic eyes were looking shyly at Huo Yuhao, who was carrying plates out of the kitchen.
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on Zhu Lu, who had changed into a pajama set with a cute cat pattern, and a gentle smile involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
"Zhu Lu, you can wait for me in my lab for a bit. I should be there in about ten minutes."
Huo Yuhao placed a plate of fragrant amethyst lobsters on the table in front of Gu Yuena, then pointed to a room on the inside.
"Okay, okay."
A blush crept onto Zhu Lu's cheeks.
She could naturally catch the fleeting admiration in Huo Yuhao's eyes just now, and her heart couldn't help but flutter with joy.
As Zhu Lu walked around the dining table, she saw Gu Yuena, who was starving, eating, and the stack of plates in front of her that was half a person high. She couldn't help but feel that Yuhao was working too hard.
……
Zhu Lu pushed open the laboratory door with light steps.
The interior space is not very spacious. Unlike the wooden structure outside, the walls and floors inside the laboratory are made of matte silver-white metal.
The entire room is mainly occupied by a silver-white metal table that is over ten square meters in size.
Elsewhere, various precision instruments and different types of metal materials were neatly arranged. Although the room was filled with numerous items, it was kept very clean and tidy, giving people a sense of inexplicable comfort.
Zhu Lu walked to the metal table.
Stacks of drawings are neatly arranged on the table.
She glanced at it casually a few times, and a hint of doubt gradually appeared in her heterochromatic eyes.
Huo Yuhao's drawing skills are quite solid, and the portraits in the drawings are lifelike.
Although Zhu Lu knew nothing about the design of soul tools, she could clearly recognize that the drawing depicted her.
In the picture, she is wearing a close-fitting battle suit with a deep dark purple tone and gorgeous purple and gold patterns.
Although it was just a blueprint, it still gave Zhu Lu a strange sense of awe.
"Is this me?"
Zhu Lu murmured softly, her tone tinged with a lack of confidence.
She looked at each one carefully.
Aside from the first image, which is an overall overview of the design, the remaining images are design drafts for the headband, chest armor, leg armor, and combat boots, respectively...
When she turned to the next few pages, a blush suddenly rose on Zhu Lu's pretty face.
The later images no longer feature soul tools; instead, they showcase the beauty of the human body.
Especially since Zhu Lu had already preconceived that the entire stack of drawings was about her, seeing these somewhat bold depictions now only intensified the indescribable feeling of unease within her, making her blush and her ears burn with embarrassment.
"Is this part drawn too small...?"
Zhu Lu subconsciously lowered her head, looking at the soft fabric stretched high by her chest, and thought with some distress, "Have I gotten a little bigger lately?"
Before Zhu Lu could recover from her distress, a pair of hands reached out from behind her and deftly picked up the drawings that Zhu Lu was holding.
A hint of panic flashed in Zhu Lu's eyes as if she had been caught red-handed by her master.
In her haste, she subconsciously took a small step back, her back completely pressed against Huo Yuhao's chest.
"Yuhao, I didn't mean to peek."
"It's alright, these are just preliminary design concept sketches."
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head, gently supporting the girl in his arms by the shoulder and guiding her to sit on a chair next to him. He then casually pulled out a few blank sheets of paper and began to write and draw on them.
"The main reason I called you here today was to accurately measure the characteristics of your soul power and the specific data of your meridian circulation, so that the soul tool can be more suitable for your use later."
As Huo Yuhao explained, he extended his left hand, palm open, and offered it to Zhu Lu.
"I will need to use my mental detection to carefully observe the flow of soul power in your hands. First, activate your martial soul and then place your hand in mine."
Seeing the hand extended in front of her, Zhu Lu belatedly realized that she had released her martial spirit.
With the release of her martial spirit, Zhu Lu's already tall and slender figure appeared even more elongated, and her graceful curves became even more prominent.
The already tight pajamas could no longer withstand the immense pressure.
The top button of the pajamas, after a subtle sound, leaped high into the air, drawing a beautiful curve before landing squarely in Huo Yuhao's outstretched left palm.
The two locked eyes, and a silent awkwardness spread between them.
Seeing Zhu Lu's somewhat bewildered expression, her tail thrashed wildly behind her, clearly indicating that she was extremely shy.
Huo Yuhao coughed a few times, feeling a little embarrassed, avoiding looking at the glimpse of snow-white skin peeking through the gap in the pajamas.
"I'll sew it back on for you after we're done. Do you need to change into a different outfit now?"
Zhu Lu lowered her head even further, almost burying it in her chest.
Her tail deftly wrapped around Huo Yuhao's hand, which he was trying to pull back, and she said in a broken voice, "Yuhao, it's okay, it's fine like this."
Huo Yuhao, who was already taller than Zhu Lu, was still able to look down on her even from his chair.
The part that was more prominent because the button had popped open came into his view even more clearly.
Huo Yuhao calmly placed the button on the table, then took Zhu Lu's hand and said softly, "Now start circulating your soul power and gather it in your palm. I'll observe the specific flow."
"Um."
……
Although a minor mishap occurred during the process, the data collection remained very smooth and rapid.
Huo Yuhao, having finished his last stroke on the blank paper, looked at Zhu Lu and said, "Alright, that's enough for today."
Zhu Lu didn't react immediately, and asked with some confusion, "Yuhao, I saw in your previous drawings that there were other parts of the soul tool. Don't we need to measure the data for those as well?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Afterwards, Zhu Lu should be able to control the two parts through further mental cultivation."
Having figured this out, Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Then let me collect some more data on your feet."
In his design drawings, the calf armor and boots were integrated into one piece, while the thigh armor was a separate component.
For Zhu Lu, the gauntlets on her left and right hands can significantly enhance her attack capabilities, while the leg armor and boots can greatly increase her speed.
For her, who is an agility-based Soul Master, these two Soul Tools are the ones that provide the fastest and most cost-effective upgrades.
Zhu Lu, who hadn't put on pantyhose after her bath, blushed even more deeply when she heard Huo Yuhao say he wanted to collect data on her feet.
Her head was spinning, as if she were drunk.
While the hand data was being collected, her hand was constantly enveloped in Huo Yuhao's warm palm, and the tingling sensation had not yet completely dissipated.
The anxiety she felt at having to switch to her feet was palpable.
Zhu Lu bit her lower lip lightly, letting out a barely audible soft moan. Her heterochromatic eyes shimmered as she slowly pulled up her pajama bottoms.
Under the light, her fair and delicate skin appeared radiant and translucent, and one could even vaguely see the fine, pale blue blood vessels beneath it.
With a hint of hesitation, that delicate, pink foot finally rested gently on Huo Yuhao's thigh.
The moment Huo Yuhao's fingers touched Zhu Lu's soles, Zhu Lu felt a tremor run through her body and couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
His toes curled and stretched restlessly, as if all the strength in his body had been drained in that instant, leaving him feeling weak and powerless.
Watching Huo Yuhao repeatedly retract his left hand, rest his chin on it, and diligently record the data, Zhu Lu felt uneasy, and all sorts of thoughts came to mind.
I think I washed myself when I showered before, so there shouldn't be any unpleasant smell.
The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. In a moment of impulsiveness, Zhu Lu blurted out...
"Yuhao, do you smell anything strange?"
"Smell?" Huo Yuhao looked puzzled, not quite understanding Zhu Lu's meaning.
Realizing what she had just unconsciously said, Zhu Lu's heterochromatic eyes immediately welled up with tears.
What incredibly embarrassing things have I said?!
Just then, the laboratory door was pushed open from the outside.
Having eaten and drunk her fill, Gu Yuena strolled in leisurely.
She looked at the scene in the laboratory, especially Zhu Lu, whose face was flushed and clothes were disheveled, and Huo Yuhao's left hand that was playing tricks on Zhu Lu's little feet.
Gu Yuena glanced at Huo Yuhao meaningfully, and her ethereal voice rang out: "Perhaps I've come at the wrong time."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's face showed a hint of helplessness.
"Do you want me to say, 'No, you've come at the perfect time'? I think it's necessary to restrict your contact with Sister Ruoruo."
After coming into contact with Han Ruoruo, this silver dragon king was completely beyond saving.
Her little booklet, which she used to record all sorts of strange knowledge, has probably been filled up several times over.
What kind of serious reading experience could Han Ruoruo have imparted to her?
The thought of Di Tian discovering that the Lord of Soul Beasts had completely gone astray in the human world might make him so angry that he'd want to unleash his Dragon God Claw on the world.
