My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Kindhearted Xue’Er

Hao Shuai didn’t speak, just nodded his head. In that moment, it seemed as though his heart had been softened, because he found himself asking, "Am I doing the right thing? Xue’Er is pure as water, do I really want to hurt her?"

This was a rare realization for Hao Shuai, that he unexpectedly developed a sense of compassion. For someone whose mind had been demonized by the Star Absorption Technique, to still be softened by love shows how powerful the force of love really is.

However, in the blink of an eye, Hao Shuai returned to normal. His body was slowly healing, though he didn’t know what kind of medicine Xue’Er had given him, but it was very helpful for his injuries.

In fact, the medicine Xue’Er had given him was the Hundred Flowers Snow Pear concocted by Medicine King Wang Yu, which was particularly effective for treating internal injuries. With the Medicine King, medicinal materials were abundant, but on the market, this medicine was extremely expensive and rare.

Yet, Xue’Er didn’t know how precious the medicine was. In her urgency, she took it from her father’s medicine box, two bottles in total, and she took one bottle. If Medicine King Wang Yu found out how Xue’Er used it, he’d be heartbroken.

The key point was that it was used for a stranger. If Xue’Er had used it herself, it wouldn’t have been so heart-wrenching.

Hao Shuai was indeed very lucky, having encountered the Medicine King’s absence. Otherwise, not only would he not be treated, with just a glance at him, it could be seen that this person was cunning and treacherous.

Xue’Er hadn’t experienced society, so it was understandable that she couldn’t recognize the beast beneath the surface. Thus, after Hao Shuai calmed down, he began meditating on the bed, cultivating the Star Absorption Technique.

After going through the baptism of Bone Marrow Cleansing last time, his skills had increased significantly, but the enhancement had not yet stabilized.

It was a pity for Hao Shuai, as it seemed that the Bone Marrow Cleansing still had two crucial Chapters he hadn’t learned. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been a problem to reach another peak level.

Indeed, Hao Shuai hadn’t completed learning the Bone Marrow Cleansing. He had just roughly learned it, and the last two Chapters were key to mastering the essence of Bone Marrow Cleansing.

This was why Hao Shuai had been defeated by Chen Tianlong earlier. Otherwise, with the third level of the Star Absorption Technique, it was impossible to lose to Chen Tianlong’s third level of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.

The problem was that Hao Shuai hadn’t fully mastered the Heart Method of Bone Marrow Cleansing. His body hadn’t been entirely purified, and his power hadn’t reached its peak state.

But Chen Tianlong was different. He had fully comprehended the Bone Marrow Cleansing and had completely transformed the residual power in his body into pure Powerful Qi, successfully breaking through to the peak state of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, a pure peak of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, while elevating his focused strength to its peak.

Therefore, Hao Shuai was defeated so badly by Chen Tianlong. Although Hao Shuai was upset, there was nothing he could do, so he began slowly regulating his breath and activated the Heart Method of the Star Absorption Technique.

In an instant, the room was filled with Evil Qi, a type of malevolent energy that came with the Star Absorption Technique. Those who practiced this cultivation technique would gradually be corrupted by this Evil Qi, and if unable to control it, might succumb to Demonic Possession.

Therefore, practitioners of this cultivation technique must have firm determination, always maintaining the mindset that they are in control, otherwise, even if mastered, they would merely become puppets controlled by demonic thoughts.

But for now, Hao Shuai hadn’t fallen to Demonic Possession, because he still retained some emotional bonds, and even longed for love. His benevolent side still existed.

Therefore, at this time, he was destined not to master the Star Absorption Technique, forever stuck at the third level.

After practicing for a while, Hao Shuai felt no sign of progressing and shook his head, then stopped cultivating, and lay back on the bed, waiting for Xue’Er’s delicious meal.

Before long, Xue’Er appeared carrying a large bowl of steamy soup, followed by a few small stir-fried dishes, and placed a jug of wine on the dining table.

"Shuai, come over for dinner," Xue’Er called out happily, evidently excited. Shortly, Shuai would be able to taste the food she made with her own hands, she wondered if he’d find it unappetizing.

"Alright."

Hao Shuai was also hungry by this time. He got up from the bed and walked over, the aroma wafting into his nose, instantly whetting his appetite.

In fact, Xue’Er had added some appetite-stimulating Chinese herbs to the soup, making its aroma very tempting, and Hao Shuai couldn’t help but almost drool.

"Xue’Er, come sit down and eat together."

Feeling a bit embarrassed being alone, Hao Shuai said to Xue’Er who was standing aside.

"Okay."

Xue’Er didn’t decline. She also wanted to enjoy this simple warmth with Hao Shuai. Previously, she always dined with her father, but now, finally, she was having a meal with another man, suddenly feeling a peculiar sensation.

It was a sense of happiness. She was now a girl in her early twenties and vaguely understood from books that girls also needed love, care, and protection.

Since meeting Hao Shuai, she felt that the person she envisioned in her heart had appeared. Over the past few days, Xue’Er had slowly gotten used to having him around.

Wang Xue didn’t know whether Hao Shuai would leave her eventually, but she couldn’t help wanting to be good to him. For no other reason than that it made her happy.

As they say, when love comes, nothing can stop it!

Both of them served themselves a bowl of soup. Hao Shuai, enticed by the aroma, impatiently took a sip. Indeed, the rich and delicious flavor made him thoroughly enjoy it; it had been a long time since he had felt such an appetite.

Seeing Hao Shuai closing his eyes tightly, Xue’Er thought the soup tasted terrible and quickly took a sip herself but found it alright. Immediately doubted, she asked, "Shuai, what’s wrong? Is the soup not to your liking? If it’s not good, we can eat something else."

But just as Xue’Er finished asking, Shuai opened his eyes and smiled, "Silly girl, the soup is too delicious, I’m savoring it."

This time, Hao Shuai wasn’t lying to Xue’Er but was genuinely speaking from his heart. At that moment, he had a kind of illusion; he really wanted to marry Xue’Er so she could make soup for him forever.

Listening to Hao Shuai’s words, Xue’Er beamed like a flower, her cheeks flushed. At this point, as Hao Shuai looked at such a beautiful girl, he suddenly felt a bit captivated, his hand unconsciously reaching out and grabbing Xue’Er’s hand.

Xue’Er was first startled, and next her breathing became slightly rapid, her face turning even redder.

"Oh! Shuai, let’s hurry and drink the soup and eat the dishes. They’ll be cold and won’t taste good soon." Feeling a bit embarrassed, Xue’Er hurriedly changed the subject.
