Chapter 46: Chapter -46 A little help.
Chapter -46.
As soon as Yan Shaozhe left, the once-quiet Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor in Chen Feng's Sea of Spirit sprang back to life.
With excitement, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at the now-awake Ice Emperor and darted over, exclaiming, "Bing Bing, you're awake! That's wonderful!!"
The Ice Emperor coolly responded, "Get lost, don't come near me."
With that, she turned her gaze toward Chen Feng, her expression brightening a bit. "Chen Feng is receiving strong support from Shrek Academy; he's going to grow at an even faster pace. The future is looking bright!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded in agreement. "Exactly! We won't need to help him; it won't be long before Chen Feng can stand on his own."
While they chatted in Chen Feng's spiritual sea, Ma Xiaotao suddenly had a great idea. She raised her right hand, showcasing her delicate fingers adorned with a large, striking ruby that resembled pigeon blood.
With a quick flash of movement, Ma Xiaotao retrieved a piece of men's clothing from her storage soul guide. She extended it to Chen Feng, her face flushing slightly as she recalled how she had soaked it, which only added to her enchantment.
In her sweet and charming tone, she said, "Chen Feng, I washed these clothes." Chen Feng took back the garments he had previously draped over her and stored them away.
As they both contemplated the clothes, they couldn't help but reminisce about that dark, windy night. The atmosphere between them, a lonely boy and girl, suddenly grew a bit charged...
Chen Feng, breaking the tension, quipped, "Xiaotao, I'm going to head back to the dorm to gather my things first, then I'll go collect a debt in the afternoon. Tonight, I'll be staying at Sea God Island; I really don't want to be fighting off hundreds of people for a bathroom."
Ma Xiaotao burst into laughter at this, playfully patting his arm. "Ha ha ha! Fighting for a bathroom—so true! The accommodation situation at Shrek Academy's outer courtyard is truly awful. When I was in the outer courtyard..."
Chen Feng chimed in, "Honestly, I think the boys' dormitory is better."
Curious, Ma Xiaotao asked, "Why do you think the boys' dormitory is better?"
Seeing her puzzled expression, Chen Feng leaned closer and whispered a reply. Upon hearing it, Ma Xiaotao's face turned a bright red, and she shot him a playful glare. Her dazzling red eyes were filled with charm, showcasing that she was still an eighteen-year-old girl with the allure of maturity.
Chen Feng had to admit, some women just have a natural gift for being enchanting. If a young boy were here, he would probably be blushing by now.
With a calm demeanor, Chen Feng continued to chat with Ma Xiaotao, getting to know her better as she shared stories about her past twelve years spent training and suppressing evil fire.
When she expressed curiosity about him, Chen Feng shared tidbits of his life, embellishing some details as he spoke. Ma Xiaotao, captivated by Chen Feng's charm, found herself wanting to know more about him...
This led to a flurry of questions from Ma Xiaotao, with Chen Feng responding leisurely as they strolled toward the new student dormitory building.
Before long, they reached the base of the new student dormitory. As it was noon, most students were taking a break inside. "Xiaotao, you wait for me here, and I'll be down shortly," Chen Feng told her.
Ma Xiaotao nodded, prepared to wait downstairs.
As she casually looked toward the dormitory, her gaze landed on an elderly man in gray clothes lying on a recliner, soaking up the sun, his face lined with wrinkles.
Recognizing him immediately as her grandmaster and a pillar of Shrek Academy, Dragon God Douluo Mu En, Ma Xiaotao was about to greet him when he opened his eyes, smiled kindly, and gestured for her to wait a moment.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng regarded Mu En simply as an ordinary old man and walked straight into the new student dormitory building.
Only after Chen Feng had entered did Mu En beckon Ma Xiaotao over.
"Xiaotao, what do you think of this young man, Chen Feng?" Mu En asked, looking at his granddaughter.
Ma Xiaotao, caught off guard by the question, lowered her head shyly, unable to meet his gaze, and her talent prevented her from seeing her own toes; it was quite a funny viewpoint.
"Chen Feng seems quite nice..." she mumbled.
Noticing her reluctance to discuss such personal matters, Mu En chuckled and waved his hand. "Xiaotao, since Chen Feng will be staying at Sea God Island, why not let him stay with you? It's convenient for both your training and managing your evil fire."
During the Sea God Pavilion meeting, everyone had agreed that pairing Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao together would be beneficial, and both Yan Shaozhe and Mu En were happy to play matchmaker.
Ma Xiaotao was so taken aback by her grandmaster's suggestion that she almost stumbled over her words. Living together? Isn't that a bit forward...?
Mu En smiled knowingly, adding, "You can handle this, Xiao Tao. Sea God Island has plenty of vacant rooms for Chen Feng, but of course, there are also many single female disciples in the inner courtyard you should be aware of."
With that, Mu En closed his eyes once more, enjoying the warmth of the sun while observing Ma Xiaotao and the vibrant young man, Chen Feng, a satisfied smile gracing his aged face.
Realizing what her ancestor had implied, Ma Xiaotao became alert. Those older women in the inner courtyard could be troublesome! With Chen Feng's good looks and talents, no, she needed to protect him from their advances.
A serious expression took over her face, her bright eyes sparkling with determination as she unconsciously tightened her pink fist.
Ma Xiaotao decided to take her grandfather's advice, letting Chen Feng stay in her room. It wasn't out of personal desire; it was a way to follow her grandmaster's orders to aid in her cultivation and protect her junior brother from the single ladies looking to swoop in.
...
As Ma Xiaotao quietly made her decision, Chen Feng, blissfully unaware of the help he was receiving, returned to his dormitory.
He pushed open the dormitory door and looked at the room he had only occupied for a few days, smiling as he began to pack.
Sitting on the bed, Wu Yue heard the door open and looked up to see Chen Feng.
"Big Brother, you're back!!" she exclaimed, jumping up in excitement.
Before she could start showering him with praise, she noticed him packing his belongings.
"Big Brother, why are you suddenly packing?" Wu Yue asked, puzzled.
Chen Feng replied, "I'm not going to stay in the dorm anymore."
