Chapter 125 Three Women in One Room
"Yuhao, are you there? If you are, I'm coming in."
Before the matter with Ning Rongrong could be settled, Zhu Zhuqing's voice rang out again.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing knocking on the door from outside, Huo Yuhao felt like he was going crazy. Why was another one here? Was today going to be his day of romantic troubles?
What's going on here? Ning Rongrong is still lying next to him. If Zhu Zhuqing comes in now, Huo Yuhao doesn't even want to think what will happen.
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's voice, Ning Rongrong's face flashed with panic, and she instinctively wanted to turn around and hide. However, a surge of resentment suddenly welled up inside her, and she thought, "Why should I hide?"
Zhu Zhuqing can come to see Huo Yuhao in the middle of the night, so why can't I? Besides, if I don't come to see Yuhao today, wouldn't Zhu Zhuqing have gotten her way?
Ning Rongrong felt increasingly justified as she thought about it. She simply lay down on the bed, no longer hiding, and quietly waited for Zhu Zhuqing to appear. Her heart was racing, filled with both nervousness and anticipation, eager to know what would happen next.
With a click, the door slowly opened. Zhu Zhuqing stood in the doorway, her sharp gaze sweeping over every corner of the room.
Her gaze quickly settled on the bed, where Ning Rongrong was lying comfortably in Huo Yuhao's arms.
"Yuhao, Rongrong, what... what happened to you?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice trembled slightly, and an indescribable sadness welled up in her heart. She had originally thought that if she met Huo Yuhao first, she could keep him by her side.
However, she never expected that the relationship between Ning Rongrong and Huo Yuhao would develop so rapidly that they had already reached the point of sharing a bed.
Zhu Zhuqing was filled with disappointment and confusion; she felt as if she had been betrayed.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have misunderstood something, Huo Yuhao hurriedly tried to explain: "Zhuqing, you've misunderstood, Rongrong and I—" However, before he could finish his explanation, Ning Rongrong interrupted him.
"That's right, just like you think. I like Yuhao, so what?" Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with provocation.
After saying that, she swiftly and gently kissed Huo Yuhao on the cheek.
The kiss struck Zhu Zhuqing like a bolt from the blue. Ning Rongrong, blushing, looked at Zhu Zhuqing triumphantly.
As the saying goes, "He who strikes first gains the upper hand, and he who strikes later suffers the consequences." Ning Rongrong finally understands this principle. To be honest, it feels really good to strike first.
However, Ning Rongrong was unaware that Gu Yuena had already succeeded before she could act, and was now doing it right in front of her.
Splay juicer.
Zhu Zhuqing happened to see Huo Yuhao's face gradually losing color and becoming increasingly pale. She no longer cared about Ning Rongrong's smug expression, but rushed to Huo Yuhao's side, anxiously asking, "Yuhao, what's wrong? Are you sick? Why do you look so unwell?"
Ning Rongrong clearly noticed the change in Huo Yuhao's expression. At this point, she no longer cared about being jealous and hurriedly asked about Huo Yuhao's condition.
Huo Yuhao immediately had an idea. Feigning composure, he said to the two girls, "Rongrong, Zhuqing, I was probably too eager during my cultivation just now, which caused some damage to my body. Fortunately, I've stabilized my injuries now and am fine. I just need to rest for a while."
As Huo Yuhao spoke, he deliberately let out a painful groan.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's eyes growing paler, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were extremely anxious, even forgetting their rivalry. Almost simultaneously, they each took one of Huo Yuhao's arms.
Their faces were filled with concern and worry, and tears were welling up in their eyes.
"Yuhao, what happened? He was fine during the day, how did he become like this at night? Could it be that he was injured when he fought with Zhao Wuji yesterday? I, I'll get Grandpa Jian to come over and teach him a lesson."
Ning Rongrong paced anxiously around Huo Yuhao's bedside, her eyes filled with worry.
Just after Ning Rongrong said those words, Zhao Wuji, who was recuperating in his bed in the teachers' dormitory, suddenly shivered.
He looked around suspiciously. Zhao Wuji was filled with unease; he felt a strange palpitation, as if something bad was about to happen.
He muttered to himself, "Strange, why did I feel such a strong sense of palpitation just now? Could it be that Haotian Douluo is coming back to beat me up again?"
Zhao Wuji touched the large bump on his head with a sorrowful expression; it was a mark left from his fight with Tang Hao yesterday.
This guy is utterly shameless. As a titled Douluo, he actually dared to attack him. This feeling of being crushed made him feel incredibly humiliated.
Inside the room, Huo Yuhao quickly stopped Ning Rongrong. He was joking, but if Sword Douluo really came, it would cause a huge commotion. With Zhao Wuji's small arms and legs, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move from Sword Douluo.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's rebuke, Ning Rongrong could only suppress her thoughts for the time being, but her anxiety did not lessen.
She sat on the edge of the bed, holding Huo Yuhao's hand tightly. Looking at his pale face, Ning Rongrong still didn't know what to do, clinging to Huo Yuhao's arm.
"I, I'll take you back to the sect right away and find the best healing-type Soul Master in the world to treat you."
Ning Rongrong suddenly had a flash of inspiration. As she spoke, she tried to lead Huo Yuhao outside, but Huo Yuhao quickly grabbed Ning Rongrong's hand.
He was secretly anxious because Gu Yuena was still sitting on him. If Ning Rongrong pulled her up, it would be a real disaster.
Huo Yuhao quickly continued, "Rongrong, it's really nothing. You just need to rest for a while. Besides, I can't possibly go out late at night in my current condition. Just trust me, as long as I get a good night's rest, I'll be fine."
Huo Yuhao tried his best to make his voice sound calm and firm, attempting to reassure Ning Rongrong.
"Really? Really?" Ning Rongrong looked at Huo Yuhao with teary eyes, her gaze filled with worry and unease. She couldn't imagine what she would do if something really happened to Huo Yuhao.
Zhu Zhuqing also looked worried, and she held Huo Yuhao's hand tightly.
Huo Yuhao felt increasingly guilty, but he was powerless to do anything about the dragon weighing him down. He could only try his best to comfort Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong and prevent them from worrying too much.
"Zhuqing, Rongrong, I'm really okay. I'm just too tired. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep. I promise."
Huo Yuhao reassured them again, hoping they could rest assured.
"Then, Yuhao, we'll stay by your side today and not go anywhere else."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing said in unison, their eyes filled with determination.
So, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing still held onto one of Huo Yuhao's arms, lying quietly on either side of him.
The two, who were originally at odds, temporarily reached an agreement because of Huo Yuhao's pale face.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama. Although there was an unseen woman today, the drama was still quite thrilling, but thankfully it ended without any real danger.
As night deepened, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, flanking Huo Yuhao, finally succumbed to sleepiness and drifted off to rest. Their breathing became even and gentle.
Huo Yuhao, however, was unable to sleep peacefully like the others. For him, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
In a daze, Huo Yuhao fainted again. When he woke up again, he found that Gu Yuena was gone, and only Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were looking at him with worried expressions.
"Rongrong, Zhuqing, you're both awake."
Huo Yuhao's voice was hoarse and weak. He tried to sit up in bed, but his weakness made him feel dizzy.
He swayed as he got out of bed, but as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and almost fell over.
Upon seeing this, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing immediately stepped forward to support him, their faces filled with concern.
"Yuhao, what's wrong with you? You rested all night, but your condition seems to be getting worse."
Zhu Zhuqing watched Huo Yuhao anxiously, her eyes filled with worry and unease. She was filled with doubt, wondering why a night's rest hadn't improved Huo Yuhao's condition.
Huo Yuhao looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who were both looking anxious, with some confusion.
"Do I look that bad?" Huo Yuhao asked uncertainly, his voice trembling slightly.
Ning Rongrong didn't answer directly, but silently picked up a mirror and handed it to Huo Yuhao. "Look for yourself," she said in a low voice, seemingly trying to control her emotions.
Huo Yuhao took the mirror, feeling somewhat uneasy. He shouldn't have looked; upon seeing his reflection, he couldn't help but gasp.
Huo Yuhao looked quite miserable in the mirror. His eyes were deeply sunken, with dark circles under them, as if he were surrounded by heavy dark circles. Even the flesh on his face had almost disappeared, sunken in as well, making him look extremely haggard.
A chill ran through Huo Yuhao's heart. He had to admit that Gu Yuena had been incredibly ruthless last night. Even though Huo Yuhao's physical abilities were comparable to those of a dragon, Gu Yuena had still managed to turn him into this state.
If it were an ordinary Soul Master, being treated like this by Gu Yuena for an entire night would probably have collapsed long ago, and might even have died. Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were already crying from fright, Huo Yuhao knew that he had to take action, otherwise these two girls would be worried to death.
He took a deep breath, straining to mobilize the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King within his body, allowing this powerful force to circulate throughout his being.
He repaired the damaged tissues and cells. He closed his eyes, focusing intently on guiding this power, feeling its flow in every corner of his body.
Before long, Huo Yuhao's complexion gradually recovered. Although he still looked listless, it was much better than when he was half-dead and on the verge of collapse.
After adjusting his body, Huo Yuhao managed a weak smile and said to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, "Rongrong, Zhuqing, don't cry. Look, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Ning Rongrong didn't even know how she felt. Just moments ago, she had clearly seen Huo Yuhao looking like he was about to die, his face pale and his breathing weak, as if he would collapse at any moment.
However, just when she was almost in despair, Huo Yuhao miraculously recovered his health. His complexion returned to its rosy hue, and his breathing became steady and strong, as if he were completely unharmed. Ning Rongrong was truly at a loss; she didn't know whether she should be happy or angry, or even what expression to use to convey her current feelings.
After a while, Ning Rongrong finally came to her senses. She punched Huo Yuhao's chest hard and said emotionally, "Huo Yuhao, you bastard! You really scared me to death! How could you do this? Just now, the way you looked, I thought... I thought..." She choked up and couldn't continue, tears welling up in her eyes.
Although Zhu Zhuqing wasn't as outspoken as Ning Rongrong, she was equally terrified. She stood to the side, tears welling in her eyes, gently biting her lower lip, looking utterly helpless and worried.
Her eyes were filled with concern for Huo Yuhao, but also revealed a hint of reproach.
Seeing the two girls' reactions, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of guilt. He knew his behavior had indeed gone too far.
However, at this moment, Huo Yuhao could only try to calm the two girls down.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao was very good with words. In less than ten minutes, he calmed down the two girls with his silver tongue.
He first sincerely apologized to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, admitting his mistake, and then promised that he would never, ever make them worry again.
Then, Huo Yuhao began to use his sweet words, comforting them with various gentle words and promises, like a series of sugar-coated bullets, gradually calming the two girls down.
When Huo Yuhao's dormitory door opened again, he saw that he had successfully calmed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing down. Although they were still a little worried, they were no longer so agitated.
However, perhaps by chance, after Huo Yuhao led Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing out of the room, they ran into Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu's group. The two groups collided, and the atmosphere immediately became somewhat awkward.
Especially after seeing Huo Yuhao lead Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong out of the room, Dai Mubai, Tang San and the others were instantly stunned.
