Chapter 305

306. Chapter 306: Heart of the Ocean, Orange's Change

A moment later.

Orange had "defeated" Bai Zhou and was sitting on top of him, wiggling her hips.

In her hands, she cradled a string of blue crystal necklaces, the look of happiness on her face nearly overflowing.

The "Tear of the Ocean" was naturally a gift Bai Zhou had specially prepared for Orange through the Wishing System.

It was a Level 5 Soul Tool, shaped like a crystal gemstone, no larger than a pinky fingernail, and it could grow alongside Orange's cultivation.

It possessed functions such as storage, increasing cultivation speed, defense, attack, positioning, and communication; most importantly, its aesthetic appeal was extremely high—hardly any girl could refuse it.

Although Orange's ambitions lay elsewhere, what girl didn't love such pretty things?

"Hee hee, Bai Zhou, you're so good to me." Orange leaned down and planted a kiss on Bai Zhou's face, clearly exceptionally happy.

If Bai Zhou wanted to do anything right now, Orange would certainly agree without the slightest hesitation.

"Heh, what a hypocritical woman," Bai Zhou said, feigning dissatisfaction.

"Hee hee, no way~"

Orange giggled, then waved her hand, acting very generous: "For the sake of the gift, I'll allow you to go find Xiao Meng next door tonight~"

"Really?"

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow slightly; he hadn't expected this.

"Hmph hmph, don't tell me you don't want to?" Orange pouted playfully. "Besides, Xiao Meng and I have already talked it over. Our status is equal, and I won't deliberately hog you just because I came first."

"Mm, thank you."

Bai Zhou's gaze softened; he felt Orange was truly too sensible.

"Oh, hurry up and go. Who knows, she might be eavesdropping right now..." Orange climbed off Bai Zhou, pushed him off the bed, and urged him.

Actually, what she didn't say was that besides the reason just mentioned, there was another reason...

It was simply that Bai Zhou was too fierce; she couldn't handle him alone.

The reason she sought out Meng Hongchen was initially because of this, too.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to share Bai Zhou at all...

Next door.

Meng Hongchen was still eavesdropping.

But she was listening through gritted teeth...

Because apart from some strange sounds, she really hadn't heard a single word of conversation.

"Damn Bai Zhou, deliberately guarding against me. I'm not the type to eavesdrop..." Meng Hongchen muttered, pouting her little lips.

"Oh? Then what are you doing right now?"

Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind her.

"Ah!"

Meng Hongchen gasped, subconsciously throwing a punch backward.

Immediately, her arm was firmly grasped by a large hand.

"Bai... Bai Zhou..."

Meng Hongchen turned her head, saw it was Bai Zhou, and was instantly stunned: "You... you... aren't you next door with Orange... how are you here..."

"Mm, Orange said she couldn't take it anymore, so she asked you to share the burden," Bai Zhou said with a straight face.

Meng Hongchen:???

What kind of tiger-wolf words were these??? Meng Hongchen's brain had clearly stalled.

Of course, it was mainly because Bai Zhou was relatively gentle with Meng Hongchen, so she hadn't experienced that sense of powerlessness.

Naturally, she didn't understand Orange's feelings.

But tonight, Bai Zhou would naturally let Meng Hongchen know what it meant to "empathize."

The next day.

Noon.

Meng Hongchen slowly woke up and found that Bai Zhou had long since woken up and was smiling as he watched her. "Awake?"

Bai Zhou asked with a smile.

"What are you looking at? You're so bad..." Seeing this, Meng Hongchen immediately thought of last night's madness and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Bai Zhou's face.

At this moment, she finally understood why Orange had decided to share Bai Zhou...

Although part of the reason was Orange compromising for Bai Zhou's sake, the main reason was likely that Orange discovered she couldn't handle Bai Zhou alone, which was why she pulled her in...

Bai Zhou coming to her room last night probably wasn't specifically for her either; he might have been kicked out by Orange...

After all, this guy Bai Zhou was simply...

Last night, she had fainted twice because her brain received too much stimulation.

Orange was a bit older than her, so her endurance should be stronger; she wondered how long she could hold out...

Meng Hongchen inexplicably began to let her imagination run wild.

"Alright, rest a while longer. I'll make lunch and bring it to you." Seeing Meng Hongchen's weak and listless appearance, Bai Zhou couldn't help but reach out and pinch her tender cheek.

"Mm, I'm not that weak."

Meng Hongchen pouted, very dissatisfied.

Originally, she really wanted to stay in bed and have Bai Zhou bring her food.

But thinking that she was now living with Orange, she changed her mind; at least she couldn't appear too pathetic, she had to be a bit careful to avoid being laughed at by Orange.

As she spoke, Meng Hongchen forced herself to sit up from the bed.

"Mm..."

"Idiot, why didn't you heal me!" Meng Hongchen slapped Bai Zhou again, her eyes brimming with tears.

Clearly, she was in pain.

"Haha, sorry, I forgot. Let me rub it for you~"

Bai Zhou gave an awkward smile, then hurriedly and gently pulled Meng Hongchen into his arms, reaching out to soothe her while releasing Holy Light power to treat the swelling...

"Pervert..."

Meng Hongchen blushed and spat lightly.

She highly suspected Bai Zhou did this on purpose, but she had no evidence.

However, she still needed the treatment; after all, she couldn't walk out limping... If Orange found out, it would be very embarrassing, and she might even be laughed at.

Bai Zhou's efficiency was very high; in just a short moment, the treatment was finished.

"Not bad, not bad, it's really all better~"

Meng Hongchen hopped off the bed, looking very happy; she even felt more energetic after being treated by Bai Zhou, and yesterday's exhaustion was swept away.

"Alright, alright, let's go downstairs for lunch first, don't starve yourself." Bai Zhou hugged Meng Hongchen from behind, reached out to pinch the flesh on her belly, and said with a smile.

"No way, I've clearly gotten fat... it's all your fault..." Meng Hongchen pouted, looked down at her flesh, and felt inexplicably melancholy.

Because of Bai Zhou, she ate quite a lot every time.

And when she missed Bai Zhou before, she also ate a lot, which led to her gaining nearly 10 pounds during this period.

And the most infuriating thing was that the weight had grown in all the wrong places.

Looking down, she could still see her toes, which was much worse than Orange's...

"Haha, it's cute to be a bit fleshy~"

Bai Zhou laughed, then casually found a thin nightgown from the nearby wardrobe and personally put it on Meng Hongchen.

As for what was underneath...

Anyway, they were at home, so naturally, there was no need to wear anything; it was just troublesome...

The two washed up a little and left the room.

"Click~"

They opened the door.

Immediately, they were met with Orange, who was also wearing a nightgown, having just woken up and intending to go downstairs for breakfast. Around Orange's neck was the Heart of the Ocean necklace Bai Zhou had given her last night.

For a moment.

Their six eyes met.

Time seemed to pause.
