Everyone returned to the hotel to rest.
As the night deepened, lights still shone from the hotel suite where East Sea Academy was staying.
Arthur was being subjected to Na'er's "insubordination"; she was tossing him about in all sorts of ways and vigorously rubbing his head.
Na'er even toyed with the cowlick on Little Yellow Hair's head. It was a rare opportunity, and she intended to play to her heart's content.
Tang Wulin and the others huddled nearby, repeatedly replaying the soul tool recording of the day's match.
Xie Xie pointed at the screen at the moment the Holy Sword was released, clicking his tongue in amazement. "Big brother, what on earth is this?!"
"This is too insane."
Arthur said weakly, "Ah... that's a mandatory skill for every swordsman: the Light Cannon."
Everyone was speechless; Arthur was talking nonsense again.
Xie Xie rolled his eyes. "Give me a break! Where would you find a swordsman who can do that? Do you take us for three-year-olds?"
Seeing their reactions, Arthur said as if it were common sense, "If you can't fire a Light Cannon, why even bother using a sword?"
Watching from the side, Wu Zhangkong's eye twitched. He felt like he should apologize for not knowing how to do it.
Gu Yue walked over with several cups of warm water and distributed them. Her gaze landed on Arthur. "Your Martial Soul is very special. With such terrifying power, the Federation and major factions will definitely be watching you closely."
Wu Zhangkong snapped out of it and said deeply, "Gu Yue is right. The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be blown down by the wind. Your performance in this match exceeded everyone's expectations. You must act with caution from now on."
He looked at Arthur with a grave expression. "A Spirit Elder defeating a One-Word Battle Armor Master. You should know what that signifies."
"Yeah."
Showing off feels great in the moment.
But there's a lot to consider afterward.
Arthur nodded. "I'll be careful."
In reality, he only needed to be wary of the Holy Spirit Cult. The possibility of other factions moving against him was slim.
Although Shrek was bloated, they always needed a legitimate reason to act.
The Spirit Conduction Tower... Arthur was one of their own. He'd let Agravaine deal with that headache.
Moreover, because of Na'er, Leng Yaozhu was also on their side.
There was no need to worry about the Tang Sect either; that depended on Mu Ye. The Seniors of the Body Sect were like scattered stars, working in various major organizations. They were even present within the Tang Sect.
The War God Hall was even less of a concern, as they were restricted by the Federation.
As for the Federation, those who knew, knew.
Under the parliamentary system, any action required going through incredibly tedious procedures.
With Arthur's background, those procedures would never be completed.
The only concern was the lawless Holy Spirit Cult; no one knew what kind of madness they might pull.
Actually, what Arthur didn't know was that the Holy Spirit Cult had already received information about him, but they couldn't be bothered with him.
They were currently busy with something big in secret.
It was almost at a critical moment, so there was absolutely no need to cause unnecessary complications.
Genius or not, they didn't care. No matter how powerful Arthur was, could he become a Limit Douluo within a few years?
...After finishing their conversation, everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest.
Today had been far too exhausting.
For once, Arthur didn't meditate and instead fell into a deep sleep.
The night was deep, and the only sound in the hotel room was the faint noise of cars passing by outside.
Arthur slept very soundly.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open a crack, and a slender figure tiptoed inside.
Na'er was wearing pink pajamas, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her purple eyes glowing in the darkness.
She walked to the bedside, leaned over to gaze at Arthur's sleeping face, and reached out with a fingertip, intending to poke his cheek.
Arthur's hands were faster than his brain; he quickly grabbed Na'er's reaching hand.
"Who's there?!"
Only then did he wake up.
"Na'er?" Arthur, just waking up, was still a bit dazed. "What are you doing?"
Seeing this, Na'er stopped pretending and pounced directly on him.
Her expression changed in a second as she grinned mischievously. "Brother Arthur was born to be eaten by Na'er."
Arthur couldn't keep a straight face.
Despite all his calculations, the major factions hadn't moved yet, but Na'er had struck first.
Arthur had just sat up when her pounce sent him reeling, his back slamming hard against the headboard.
He tried to struggle, but Na'er pinned his shoulders down firmly.
This was bad; he hadn't recovered from the day's exertion yet and couldn't win this fight at all.
The girl carried a faint milky scent, and her purple eyes shimmered with the cunning of a successful scheme.
Her hands began to wander restlessly over his body.
"No, don't."
"Give up the struggle. Brother Arthur has to be a good boy, okay?"
Arthur suddenly felt like life wasn't worth living; he was about to be severely humiliated by this little lecherous Dragon.
Na'er lowered her head until her nose almost touched his cheek, her voice cloyingly sweet. "I haven't doted on you enough yet!"
Arthur's face flushed bright red. "Let go! I'm going to get angry if you keep this up!"
"Getting angry won't help~" Na'er raised her chin triumphantly, taking the opportunity to pinch his cheek with her other hand. "Brother Arthur, just give in to me!"
The two struggled back and forth on the bed. Arthur was no match for her at all, and Na'er took full advantage of him.
Finally, Na'er simply lay flat on top of him, hugging his waist tightly like a koala, her head buried in the crook of his neck. She mumbled, "I'm not going back. I'm sleeping here tonight."
With that, she closed her eyes to sleep.
"That's it?" Arthur stopped struggling.
Na'er rubbed her head against him and asked in confusion, "What else?"
"Oh. Never mind then."
You should have said so earlier. Arthur thought he was going to be caught by a lecherous Dragon and trained into a Sex Slave.
It seemed he had overthought it.
He'd just treat it like sleeping with an extra body pillow.
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and let his body relax completely, allowing Na'er to hang onto him.
The girl's breathing was steady and warm, puffing against the crook of his neck and causing a faint itch.
*Snap!*
The light was suddenly switched on.
Gu Yue was dressed in a simple white silk nightgown. Her ink-black hair was draped casually over her shoulders, with a few stray strands falling over her forehead, making her skin appear as white as snow.
She stood at the door, tilting her head.
"What are you two doing?"
Arthur calmly chose to play dead. He was "asleep" now.
Na'er almost burst out in curses. She jumped off the bed and hissed like a cat, something she hadn't done in a long time. "Are you crazy?!"
"It's the middle of the night. What are you doing in Arthur's room instead of sleeping?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yue's eyes; she clearly hadn't expected Na'er to turn the tables on her.
"I saw the door was open and thought Arthur wasn't asleep yet."
She casually closed the door behind her and walked over.
Her tone remained calm. "I happened to have some private matters to discuss with Arthur, so I came in to chat."
"But what about you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Faced with Gu Yue's questioning, Na'er didn't panic at all.
She answered righteously, "Can't you tell?"
"I'm carrying out a Night Raid, of course."
Gu Yue was a bit confused. "Night Raid?"
Na'er stood with her hands on her hips, her chin slightly raised, looking perfectly "above board." "Brother Arthur rarely lacks the ability to resist, so isn't it normal to raid him at night? But you, coming here in the middle of the night... you're not trying to compete with me, are you?"
"Hmm... Are you here for Mating?" Gu Yue seemed to have a sudden realization.
Na'er's face instantly turned red all the way to her ears. She pointed at Gu Yue for a long time, unable to speak. "W-what are you talking about?! Who's here for Mating?!"
