Douluo: Asking Senior Sister To Join My Harem

Chapter -58.

Ling Luocheng set off early in the morning with the intention of grabbing breakfast at the cafeteria, but she was taken by surprise when she saw something unexpected on her way there.

On a narrow path within the academy, she spotted a woman with a haughty and icy presence. She had a slim figure, elegant curves, porcelain-white skin, and strikingly beautiful features.

With a pair of frosty eyes that resembled a frigid lake, the woman was focused intently on a couple walking closely ahead of her.

Ling Luocheng couldn't help but notice the alluring, well-rounded curves, the fiery red hair, the long, graceful legs, and a tall form—it was unmistakably Ma Xiaotao!

Known as the infamous Ice Girl of the inner court, Ling Luocheng's chilly demeanor often clashed with the fiery spirit of Ma Xiaotao. Ling Luocheng had previously declined to help Ma Xiaotao manage her powerful evil fire, leading to a strong dislike from Ma Xiaotao toward her.

However, Ma Xiaotao was outgoing and had a knack for making friends easily. Being a disciple of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Soul Master Department at Shrek Academy, she enjoyed good relationships with many other inner court disciples.

In contrast, Ling Luocheng was more reserved and preferred solitude, leaving her friendless in the inner court and earning her the nickname of Ice Girl.

As she watched, Ling Luocheng felt her heart sink. How could Chen Feng be walking with Ma Xiaotao? What happened after I last saw him?

At that moment, Ma Xiaotao wrapped her arm around Chen Feng's.

The sight made Ling Luocheng seethe with anger, and as she bit her lip harder, a bit of blood trickled from her lips.

In pain, she covered her mouth and mentally cursed, "Darn you, Ma Xiaotao! How dare you steal my man? And Chen Feng, how could you allow her to hang onto your arm like that?"

Her mind was racing, trying to make sense of the situation.

It's like women have a natural talent for detective work.

Ling Luocheng mused, "Chen Feng's second martial soul is the Ice Blue Scorpion. Last time he fought Xu Sanshi, he used that martial soul. The academy must have recognized his ultimate ice martial soul by now."

With a second martial soul and an ultimate one, the academy likely had intentions of nurturing Chen Feng's talents.

Plus, Ma Xiaotao needed a top-notch ice martial soul to help her with her evil fire, thanks to her martial soul's incompatibility.

As Ma Xiaotao's master is Yan Shaozhe, their martial souls are quite compatible. One relies on the top beast martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix, while the other has the ultimate ice super martial soul, the Ice Blue Scorpion. On top of that, Ma Xiaotao is a direct descendant of the academy...

It was clear the academy's administrators might be inclined to pair Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao together.

But I was the first to know Chen Feng! (﹏)

With that thought, Ling Luocheng's initial fury quickly faded. How could she, just a Soul King, stand against the higher-ups at the academy? If they discovered her connection with Chen Feng, they might even advise her to step back voluntarily.

Yet, she didn't want to lose Chen Feng; that was simply unacceptable.

Licking the blood from her lip, she suppressed her desire to confront them.

Being her calm self, she recognized that rushing in without a plan wouldn't help; it would only worsen things.

Moreover, without considering the academy's authority, Ma Xiaotao was much more powerful—a six-ring Soul Emperor while she was just a five-ring Soul King. Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix was also superior in quality, plus she had two high-quality soul bones to boot.

If she confronted Ma Xiaotao, she might end up getting beaten badly.

As for whether revealing her friendship with Chen Feng would make Ma Xiaotao back off, Ling Luocheng concluded it wouldn't; instead, Ma Xiaotao would likely perceive it as her attempting to seduce a junior disciple and label Ling Luocheng as a shameless woman.

After all, a newly enrolled junior disciple couldn't mean any harm—it's just that the senior sisters were shamelessly trying to catch his attention (╬◣д◢).

Taking a deep breath, Ling Luocheng controlled her emotions and steadied herself.

If it were Ma Xiaotao, with her fiery personality, she'd probably have rushed in to confront the couple already (皿).

Ling Luocheng realized that brute force wasn't the solution; she needed to be smart about it.

Watching Ma Xiaotao and Chen Feng enter the cafeteria, she turned away, plotting her next move.

"Ma Xiaotao, don't think you can win just by having the academy's support.

I'm Ling Luocheng—cool and clever. There's no way a big-busted, thoughtless woman like you can compete with me. Just wait and see how I win Chen Feng back!"

With her mind set, Ling Luocheng began to formulate a strategy to reignite Chen Feng's interest.

Meanwhile, as Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao entered the inner courtyard cafeteria, they caught the attention of those inside.

Chen Feng had just enjoyed a delicious meal, and with the surge of energy from the food, he felt content to simply accompany the affectionate Ma Xiaotao.

The inner courtyard cafeteria far surpassed the one in the outer courtyard.

The outer cafeteria had just eight windows, lacked tables and chairs, forced students to eat standing, and required them to pay for food.

In contrast, the inner cafeteria offered not only more luxurious and nutritious meals than the outer's finest dishes but also featured proper seating, and most importantly, it was free.

Disciples in the inner courtyard who served on the inspection team didn't receive any payment for their work, so complimentary meals and accommodations were essential for their training, especially in obtaining their soul rings...

Since there were fewer than a hundred disciples in the inner courtyard, many were either out on missions or deeply engaged in personal training...

Even at breakfast time, the cafeteria only had around ten inner courtyard disciples dining at once.

When they saw the stunning duo of Ma Xiaotao and Chen Feng walking in arm in arm, they initially thought it was just a typical couple without much excitement.

However, realization dawned on them—they recognized the woman as the infamous Flame Maniac, Ma Xiaotao!

Instantly, the appetite of the ten or so disciples dwindled.

"Cough! Cough! I'm choking! Water!" shouted a male disciple as he suddenly choked on his food, his cough echoing in the room.

"Wow, who's this brave guy who dares to get close to the Flame Maniac, Ma Xiaotao?" another male disciple wondered as he scrutinized Chen Feng.

Amid the onlookers, a beautiful male disciple took a careful look at Chen Feng. Although he was indeed male, his slender figure and strikingly delicate features gave off an oddly charming aura.
