Wang Feng stood still, as if his soul had left his body. Huo Yuhao called out to him repeatedly, but Wang Feng remained unresponsive. Left with no choice, Huo Yuhao decided to bring Wang Feng back to their room.
He carried Wang Feng all the way to the door. But when they arrived, the door was already closed. Huo Yuhao knocked.
Tok! Tok! Tok!
"Wang Dong, open the door," Huo Yuhao said cautiously.
There was no response.
Huo Yuhao sighed and tried again. "I know you're in there. Come on, open up."
Still no answer, but faint sounds of movement could be heard from inside. It seemed Wang Dong was either restless or too embarrassed to come out.
Meanwhile, Wang Feng was still standing beside Huo Yuhao with a blank expression. His eyes stared straight ahead, as if his mind was still trying to process the tragedy that had just occurred.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Feng and sighed. "Hey, Wang Feng, are you okay?"
Wang Feng finally blinked. Slowly, he raised his hand, touched his lips, and his face began to tense up.
"I… I…" Wang Feng muttered softly, his breath trembling slightly.
Huo Yuhao began to worry. "Hey, calm down. It was just an accident, right?"
Suddenly, Wang Feng lifted his head, his expression turning to one of pure anguish. With a voice that nearly cracked, he shouted, "I JUST KISSED A GUY!!!!!!!"
From inside the room, there was a loud noise like something had fallen. Wang Dong, having heard the scream, wanted nothing more than to disappear from the world.
"SHUT UP!!!" Wang Dong shouted from inside the room, his voice full of emotion.
Huo Yuhao felt dizzy. "Now how am I supposed to get Wang Dong to open the door?"
He stood hesitantly in front of the door, his hand still raised from knocking. The thick tension between Wang Feng and Wang Dong was unmistakable, but he had no idea how to defuse the situation.
He turned to look at Wang Feng, who remained stiff and blank-faced. Then back at the door—Wang Dong clearly had no intention of coming out.
In a gentle voice, Huo Yuhao tried to persuade him. "Wang Dong, maybe you could try forgiving Wang Feng. You know it wasn't on purpose."
There was no answer, but Huo Yuhao could hear the faint sound of soft footsteps. It seemed Wang Dong was listening.
Wang Feng, finally beginning to snap out of his shock, rubbed his face with both hands and let out a long sigh. "I… I really don't know how it happened. It was just… instinct."
Huo Yuhao gave a small smile. "I'm sure it wasn't intentional. But if you don't talk to Wang Dong, the misunderstanding might get worse."
From inside the room, the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. A few seconds later, the door cracked open, revealing Wang Dong's face, still flushed bright red.
"…I don't want to talk about it," he muttered, eyes avoiding Wang Feng's gaze.
Wang Feng, just as embarrassed, quickly nodded. "Agreed! Let's just pretend it never happened!"
Huo Yuhao chuckled softly. "That might be hard, but at least try to talk to each other like normal."
Wang Dong huffed, then looked at Wang Feng. "Fine. But don't ever bring this up again, understand?"
"Trust me, I want to forget it as soon as possible," Wang Feng replied quickly.
For some reason, hearing Wang Feng say he wanted to forget it made Wang Dong a little mad. After all, that had been his first kiss.
"Don't forget it!"
Wang Feng looked confused. "What do you mean, 'don't forget it'?"
Wang Dong panicked, his pink eyes darting around. "I mean don't forget your promise—that you said you were going to forget it quickly!!"
"Alright, that's exactly what I want." Wang Feng remained completely unaware of Wang Dong's feelings.
Huo Yuhao let out a sigh of relief. "Okay then, let's start over. It's like we just met today, right?"
Wang Dong and Wang Feng exchanged glances before finally nodding.
Wang Feng and Huo Yuhao entered the room.
After entering, Wang Feng immediately headed for the bathroom.
He turned on the water and began cleaning himself.
After a while, the sound of running water stopped. The bathroom door slowly opened, and Wang Feng stepped out.
The warm air from the bathroom still clung to him, and a thin mist surrounded his body as he entered the room. He was wearing only a white towel around his waist, revealing his bare upper body.
The dorm room light shone clearly on his figure. His face looked like it had been sculpted by the gods—sharp, symmetrical jawline, exuding strength and elegance. His skin was as smooth as porcelain, glowing with a natural radiance that was nearly flawless. His jet-black hair, still damp, was slightly tousled but still looked elegant and lustrous, as if always perfectly styled even right after a shower.
However, the most striking thing about him was his eyes. His left eye was blood-red, glowing like burning embers in the dark—full of determination and mystery. Meanwhile, his right eye was golden, shining like the light of the morning sun—radiating wisdom and an almost divine majesty.
His body was tall and well-proportioned, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and perfectly toned muscles that weren't excessive. Every movement displayed a perfect balance between power and calm, creating an aura that was both captivating and intimidating.
Suddenly—
"KYAAAHHHH!!!"
A high-pitched scream filled the room.
Wang Feng stopped in his tracks and turned toward the source of the voice.
Wang Dong was standing there, his face red like a ripe tomato. His eyes were wide, and he looked truly shocked and embarrassed.
"W-Why did you come out like that?!" Wang Dong shouted with a mix of anger and nervousness, but his voice and expression made him seem more panicked than anything else.
Wang Feng looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Isn't it normal not to wear clothes after a shower? Why are you acting like this is something unusual?" he asked, shaking his head.
Then he turned to look at their other roommate. But it turned out Huo Yuhao's face was just as red.
Wang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't say anything, but he could tell that both of them were feeling awkward.
He let out a soft sigh.
"Alright, I get it. I was wrong, okay?" Wang Feng said in a resigned tone.
Even so, both Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao turned their faces away, unable to look at him directly.
Seeing their reactions, Wang Feng just shrugged, then walked toward the wardrobe to get his clothes.
"I'll get dressed now, so calm down," he said casually.
Wang Feng added, "Besides, aren't we all guys? Isn't it normal for me to not be wearing anything? Why are you yelling at me?"
His voice was calm, but there was a slight complaint in his tone, as if he genuinely didn't understand why they were reacting that way.
Wang Dong, who was still covering his face with both hands, peeked at Wang Feng through his fingers. His face turned even redder after hearing Wang Feng's words. "I-idiot! Of course it's not normal! You... You just came out like that without any warning!" he shouted in a frustrated tone, though his voice clearly carried panic.
Huo Yuhao, who was still standing off to the side with a red face, cleared his throat awkwardly and tried to change the subject. "U-uh… Maybe you should hurry up and get dressed, Wang Feng."
Wang Feng glanced at the two of them, then smirked faintly. He walked toward the wardrobe, but before grabbing his clothes, he deliberately paused and looked over at Wang Dong.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression seemed to be analyzing something. Then, in a lighter tone, he said, "Wait... Are you reacting like this because you're still thinking about what happened earlier?"
Wang Dong flinched. His already-red face now resembled a boiled crab. "N-no way! Don't say nonsense!" He turned around quickly, trying to hide his expression.
Wang Feng chuckled softly. "Oh? Are you sure?"
Seeing Wang Dong getting more and more flustered, Wang Feng finally sighed again. "Alright, alright. I'll get dressed." He finally grabbed his clothes from the wardrobe and walked back into the bathroom to put them on.
But before going in, he glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was still awkwardly standing in place.
"Yuhao, you're overreacting too," Wang Feng raised an eyebrow with a hint of teasing in his voice.
Huo Yuhao flinched and quickly shook his head. "I-it's just... I didn't expect you to come out like that, that's all!"
Wang Feng gave a faint smile but didn't say anything else. He entered the bathroom, leaving Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao trying to calm themselves down from the incident.
Inside the bathroom, Wang Feng thought to himself, "Those two are so fun to tease." he said with a small smile on his face.
Then he shook his head. "Forget it. Rather than thinking about that stuff, I should focus on training and getting stronger. Oh right, I haven't checked my system panel in a while."

Nothing had changed in the past four years except his physique and spirit power. Because Wang Feng's spirit power was compressed, it caused his cultivation to progress slower. It took him four years to increase just 5 levels. But compared to other soul masters, that was still considered relatively fast.
Sigh!
"Alright… everything has its pros and cons. I just have to work harder to make up for the weakness." Wang Feng looked at his reflection in the mirror with determination.
"Oh right, I checked in yesterday… but I haven't looked at the reward yet. Let's see."
