Chapter 21 Xiao Xiao: How about you repay me with your body?
In other words, before it was just a choice between two options, but now it's a gamble.
Let's see what Xiao Xiao chooses.
Most of those who can join Shrek Academy have certain backgrounds.
Xiao Xiao, needless to say, possesses twin martial souls, and both are of high quality, being top-tier martial souls.
Although the initial idea was to lure Xiao Xiao away from Shrek Academy, could it really be done?
However, this matter will not have a result now.
Xiao Xiao took the porcelain bottle containing the Xuan Shui Dan. She had excellent talent and possessed twin martial souls, but that didn't mean the Xuan Shui Dan was useless.
After a moment of inner turmoil, Xiao Xiao let out a soft sigh, "Dong'er, thank you."
She had no reason to miss out on a pill that could improve her own limits without any side effects.
"Hmm... So how are you going to thank me?"
"Huh?" Xiao Xiao didn't think Wang Dong'er was trying to blackmail her for a favor, but she did see that Wang Dong'er seemed to smile.
This wasn't the first time Xiao Xiao had seen a smile on Wang Dong'er's face; Wang Dong'er had smiled politely when they first met.
But this time, for some reason, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that this time was different.
Blinking, Xiao Xiao joked, "How about I repay you with my body, Young Master Wang? Haha."
Wang Dong'er clearly didn't expect Xiao Xiao to joke like that, but the next second her expression suddenly turned serious, and she reached out and grabbed Xiao Xiao.
"If you put it that way, then I'll take it seriously."
The dormitory was small, and the beds were not far apart, so Wang Dong'er could reach Xiao Xiao with just one arm out.
Pulled by Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, who had been joking boldly, suddenly trembled.
"Uh, this...that..." Xiao Xiao looked left and right, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, I was just kidding. You should eat the Xuan Shui Pill now. There's a team battle for the freshman assessment in three months." Wang Dong'er winked, looking mischievous.
"Ugh, are you trying to kill me?" Xiao Xiao blushed and slapped Wang Dong'er's hand away, turning away from Wang Dong'er and gently touching her chest.
There, my heart was pounding so hard it was like a burning boiler, and my face was flushed and burning hot.
Xiao Xiao patted her face, forcing herself to calm down, and then remembered that Wang Dong'er had mentioned the freshman assessment three months later.
"No wonder she gave me the Mystic Water Pill... But, doesn't she want to leave Shrek Academy?" Xiao Xiao pondered to herself as she opened the porcelain bottle.
On the other side, a Xuan Shui Pill also appeared in Wang Dong'er's hand.
What she gave to Xiao Xiao was the Xuan Shui Pill she had won in a bet with Xu Sanshi, while the one in her hand was a reward from a previous system mission.
The Xuan Shui Dan is dark blue with many white patterns. It is not very big, only about the size of a cherry. However, when it appears, a layer of light mist that can be seen with the naked eye is around it, along with a refreshing fragrance.
After examining the Xuan Shui Dan for a while, Wang Dong'er swallowed it directly.
This is the first time she has taken the Mystic Water Pill, and it will also be the time when the Mystic Water Pill has the greatest effect.
However, the two who consumed the Xuan Shui Pill forgot that they were in bed at the moment.
A faint blue light emanated from Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao; it was a thin layer of mist, just like the mist surrounding the Xuan Shui Dan.
But unlike Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er also had a fleeting glimpse of deep blue on her body.
Gradually, the light blue mist surrounding the two began to change color, becoming increasingly dark. The mist, which originally carried a fragrant scent, gradually turned into a foul odor as its color changed.
Xiao Xiao was the first to regain consciousness. As soon as she did, she smelled the stench and instinctively looked at herself, her mind going completely blank.
"How...how could my bed be so dirty?!"
Soon, Xiao Xiao realized that this was the effect of the Xuan Shui Pill.
Since it involves cleansing the tendons and marrow, it will naturally expel the impurities that have been washed away.
The smell was unbearable, so Xiao Xiao quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.
After thoroughly washing her body and clothes, Xiao Xiao returned to her dormitory and looked at her now-blackened bed, feeling like crying.
It was only then that she noticed that Wang Dong'er was still not awake.
But judging from Wang Dong'er's appearance, she seems to have already absorbed the Xuan Shui Pill, and logically, she should have woken up like her.
After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Xiao decided not to disturb Wang Dong'er and began to clean her own bed.
At this moment, Wang Dong'er felt as if she were walking in a world of ice and snow.
Is this what the Xuan Shui Dan (Mysterious Water Pill) is supposed to do?
Wang Dong'er felt something was amiss.
She remembered that the Xuan Shui Dan was supposed to be mild and without any side effects, so why did she feel so different right now?
Just then, Wang Dong'er suddenly felt her right hand sink, and a small black hammer appeared in her hand.
The small hammer was shrouded in a layer of dark light, with a faint pattern swirling around its head.
The moment the small hammer appeared, a chilling wind suddenly began to swirl around the surrounding snow and ice.
Click, click—
The swirling cold wind actually formed a stream of air that rushed straight into the small hammer in Wang Dong'er's right hand.
An extreme chill seemed to emanate from within, causing Wang Dong'er to tremble.
Her body surface had begun to freeze, and the ice started from the small hammer in her right hand and continued to spread.
Without time to think further, Wang Dong'er felt that if she continued, she would definitely freeze to death here.
So she moved.
With a powerful stomp of her foot, Wang Dong'er kicked up a puddle of snow. Her right arm suddenly exerted force, shattering the thin ice that had formed, which then continued to spread across the small hammer.
If one hand wasn't enough, she'd use another. Wang Dong'er gripped the hammer with her left hand as well, straining her whole body to raise the hammer high and smash it forward with all her might!
The air, which had been empty in front of them, suddenly began to shatter like a mirror, revealing a dark void.
"What on earth is going on?" Wang Dong'er frowned, and when she raised her hand to look at the hammer in her hand, she found that it had changed.
The shape remained the same, but within the swirling dark light, there was now a hint of deep blue.
Before Wang Dong'er could continue thinking, a suction force emanated from the shattered dark void, pulling Wang Dong'er directly into it.
"call--"
Wang Dong'er suddenly woke up, and the pretty face in front of her retreated repeatedly.
"Xiao Xiao? Why are you... so close?" Wang Dong'er asked in confusion.
Xiao Xiao collapsed to the ground, patted her chest, and let out a long sigh of relief. "Dong'er, you really scared me to death."
"You should wash yourself first, Dong'er. I'll talk to you later."
