Chapter 71 A Long-Awaited Reunion with Ma Xiaotao
After saying goodbye to Mu En, Lin Feng still had Ma Xiaotao's situation on his mind. After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, he went straight to Yan Shaozhe's Mingfeng Courtyard.
"Teacher, how is Sister Xiaotao?" Lin Feng asked hurriedly as soon as he entered the courtyard and saw Yan Shaozhe.
Seeing his anxious expression, Yan Shaozhe smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, that girl has a good constitution and is recovering quickly. She's fine now."
He paused deliberately, a mischievous smile spreading across his face. "Before she left, she specifically told you to go see her as soon as you got back. As for Tang Ya, I had Wang Yan inform her. Just go straight back to your dorm. Good luck."
Yan Shaozhe's mischievous smile and inexplicable encouragement made Lin Feng's heart skip a beat.
He and Ma Xiaotao had been separated for so long; going back now would likely be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, with the odds against him hanging high.
"Thank you, teacher. I'll be right there." Lin Feng forced a smile, but the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger.
He turned and walked towards the dormitory area, his steps unconsciously slower than when he came. He was already thinking about what to say as the first thing to Ma Xiaotao when he saw her.
He stood at the dormitory door, took a deep breath, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Come in." Ma Xiaotao's voice came from inside, sounding as clear and bright as usual.
Lin Feng pushed open the door, and before he could even see what was inside, a fiery red figure rushed over with a gust of hot air and hugged him tightly.
"You're finally back!" Ma Xiaotao buried her face in his shoulder, her arms wrapped tightly around him, her voice muffled.
Lin Feng was taken aback by her hug, but his heart softened, and he reached out to hug her back. He then thought of making a joke to let her "cool off" a bit.
With a slight thought, his soul power circulated within him, and a chilling aura gathered in his palm. A delicate, translucent ice lotus, its petals adorned with a faint frost, quietly bloomed in his hand.
Lin Feng held the ice lotus and gently pressed it against Ma Xiaotao's back.
"Hiss, that's so refreshing!" Ma Xiaotao shivered from the sudden chill, abruptly releasing him and taking a half-step back.
She stared at the ice lotus in Lin Feng's hand, her face full of surprise and doubt: "Your Fire Lotus Martial Soul? How did it turn into ice?"
Ma Xiaotao looked Lin Feng up and down, the surprise in her eyes quickly replaced by another emotion, her eyebrows slightly raised, carrying a scrutinizing look.
She took a step closer and questioned, "You've been missing for so long—you wouldn't have been hanging out with some shady women, and even your martial spirit has gone bad, would you? I heard from the teacher that you recommended Tang Ya at the Sea God Pavilion meeting. Tell me honestly, what have you been doing with her these past few months?"
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly groaned. Yan Shaozhe's consistent "keeping his mouth shut" had done him a disservice.
"No, not at all," he quickly said, his face earnest. "I just took Tang Ya and, using the old agreement of the Tang Clan, went to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. We finally managed to get two portions of 100,000-year-old immortal herb essences. The blazing colloid from the 100,000-year-old Fiery Apricot was specially prepared for you. And the 50,000-year-old Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is also for you. My heart is as clear as heaven and earth, and as witnessed by the sun and moon."
"Mmm." Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's scrutinizing expression faded, and she leaned closer. "Junior Brother, you're so thoughtful. I was wrong just now. I was just—afraid that you'd be deceived by those wicked women outside. You're young and naive; don't fall for any honey traps."
As she spoke, her tone suddenly changed, and a cunning yet dangerous smile curved her lips as she spoke, almost touching Lin Feng's ear.
A warm breath, mingled with a faint fragrance, brushed against his earlobe. Her voice was low and carried a tingling, heart-pounding quality: "But, if you want—I can satisfy any need you have here."
Her breath was sweet and fragrant, and each word seemed to carry a tiny fishhook.
The voice was soft and seductive, its heat drilling straight into his ears. Lin Feng felt half of his body go numb, his legs went weak, and he almost lost his balance.
"What happened to your leg? Is it injured? Let me give you a good check-up—"
"It's nothing, just a superficial injury."
Before Lin Feng could finish explaining, Ma Xiaotao bent down, knelt on the ground, and began to examine him carefully.
Looking at the numerous wounds on her legs, she frowned inwardly, her delicate red lips becoming even more moist as the Nirvana Phoenix Flame enveloped them, beginning to heal the wounds—
As Lin Feng felt the soreness and pleasure of his wound healing, he couldn't help but press Ma Xiaotao's head with one hand, smoothing her messy hair with his thumb, trying to distract her.
hmm~
Ma Xiaotao closed her eyes, carefully sensing the resonance between the two martial souls, and thought to herself, "It's still the same old feeling. I should still be able to use the fusion technique between this Ice Lotus martial soul and my own martial soul—"
She stood up and swallowed, realizing that the consumption of her soul power just now was quite significant.
"After Sister Tao's martial soul evolved this time, she looks even more beautiful. You are undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the entire academy." Lin Feng looked at her and sincerely praised her.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's eyes sparkled. Far from being embarrassed, she showed a hint of eagerness: "Junior Brother, you have such a sweet tongue. Your Martial Soul has changed, and you're even more handsome now. Perfect timing, before the competition, let's test our Martial Soul Fusion Technique to see if it still works, as a warm-up."
"
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—" Lin Feng said.
"What are you still standing there for?" Ma Xiaotao turned around, naturally took his hand, and walked towards the inner room. "Go to the bathroom, I've already prepared the water for you."
She went in first. Lin Feng followed behind, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over her graceful figure as she walked, her curves undulating beautifully beneath her form-fitting clothes, especially her peach-shaped buttocks—
Lin Feng's breath hitched, and he felt his cheeks burning.
The night's training passed quickly, and the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Phoenix Lotus in Flames, could still be used, its power even greater than before, and it could be used three times consecutively.
Early in the morning, Lin Feng woke up and looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was still fast asleep beside him. He then quietly got up and went out the door.
With the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament fast approaching, Lin Feng needs to seize the time to improve the overall strength of his participating team.
Many of the students here come from powerful sects. He has a bunch of immortal herbs, which he can use to win people's hearts.
Lin Feng arrived outside the classroom of Class 9, Grade 2 of the Foreign Languages Department and knocked on the window.
"Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Xiao Xiao, come out quickly," he whispered inside.
Soon, the three girls came out together.
Ning Tian, who was walking ahead, brightened up: "Lin Feng! Where have you been all this time? I didn't even see you during the freshman assessment. If you were here, we would have been champions long ago."
"It's not convenient to talk here, come with me." Lin Feng didn't explain much, and naturally grabbed Ning Tian with one hand and Wu Feng with the other, and turned to walk towards a less crowded place.
To his surprise, Wu Feng, who wasn't usually very close to him, didn't break free this time either, only turning his face slightly to one side.
Xiao Xiao was left all alone, awkwardly following behind. She was clearly in the champion group, while these two were in the runner-up group.
The group soon arrived at a secluded grove of trees behind the teaching building.
"You came all this way?" Ning Tian blinked, asking curiously, "Is there some special surprise for us?"
"You guessed right." Lin Feng looked at her and nodded.
Lin Feng swiped his hand across the storage soul tool, and three gift boxes immediately appeared in his right palm. Inside each box were three strange plants radiating light.
One plant, elegant and noble, with petals of brilliant gold, is the 100,000-year-old Qiluo Tulip; another, entirely golden with enormous petals, is the 50,000-year-old Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. And there is another eight-petaled orchid, pure white and crystalline, which is the 50,000-year-old Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid.
At the same time, a cluster of intense and pure crimson flames silently ignited in the palm of his left hand, radiating the pressure of a top-tier dragon-type martial soul—it was the origin of the Crimson Dragon Heart Flame.
