Chapter 59: Chapter -59 Scared me to the death.
Chapter -59.
The male disciple smiled with joy, closing his eyes in delight.
After a moment, he regained composure and approached Ma Xiaotao with a soft smile, gently inquiring, "Xiaotao, who is this handsome fellow? He isn't your boyfriend, is he?"
Ma Xiaotao scoffed, responding with disdain, "Gong Yang Mo, stay at least five meters away from me and Chen Feng, or I won't hold back."
With that, she made a show of strength by waving her fist, looking quite intimidating.
Gong Yang Mo, captivated, gazed intensely at Chen Feng.
In a smooth tone, he introduced himself, saying, "So you're Chen Feng. I'm Gong Yang Mo, a close 'sister' of Xiaotao. If you're her boyfriend, then you must be my male…"
Before he could finish, Ma Xiaotao forcefully shoved him, sending him stumbling back two meters.
Now on the ground, Gong Yang Mo looked woeful as he delicately pinched his fingers and complained, "Xiaotao, have you forgotten your friends for the sake of looks? Does being with your boyfriend mean I can't even chat with you? So aggressive, how could Chen Feng like you? Ouch, my waist~~"
Ma Xiaotao leaned closer to Chen Feng and whispered, "Chen Feng, steer clear of him. He's gay, so don't let him take advantage of you."
Noticing Ma Xiaotao's whispering, Gong Yang Mo playfully asked, "Xiaotao, what secrets are you sharing with the handsome Chen Feng? You're not saying anything bad about me, are you?"
Chen Feng couldn't help but smile at the situation. He didn't mind Gong Yang Mo's playful antics.
As long as he was not disturbed, Chen Feng held no prejudices against anyone. If any issues arose, he'd address them regardless of the person's gender or age.
Ma Xiaotao responded with a laugh, "Exactly, I'm just reminding Chen Feng that you're gay."
Gong Yang Mo sighed dramatically, "You had to spill the beans."
With a resigned expression, Gong Yang Mo thought, (-----___-----) Just wait; I'll get my revenge.
Chen Feng then encouraged Ma Xiaotao, saying, "Sister Xiaotao, why don't you get us some food?"
Ma Xiaotao agreed and headed off to grab some food.
This scene astonished the inner courtyard disciples in the cafeteria. When did Ma Xiaotao become so compliant?
Could this man truly be Ma Xiaotao's boyfriend?
Once she returned, Ma Xiaotao sat beside Chen Feng at an empty table.
Gong Yang Mo happily joined them, placing his tray down next to Chen Feng.
Despite Ma Xiaotao's earlier aggression toward Gong Yang Mo, their friendship seemed strong.
When Gong Yang Mo settled next to Chen Feng, Ma Xiaotao shot him a warning look but still allowed him to sit.
Understanding, Gong Yang Mo maintained a respectful distance of around fifteen centimeters, not crossing any boundaries.
Gong Yang Mo possessed the Rainbow Dragon as his martial soul and was a support-type soul master at the soul king level (with a soul power of fifty-nine levels a year later).
The dragon lineage was always powerful, and the Rainbow Dragon was no exception, known for its close associations with the most formidable dragons, often serving the Dragon King.
A Dragon King with a Rainbow Dragon partner generally held a significant status due to the Rainbow Dragon's exceptional support abilities. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower is the strongest among weapon spirits, then Gong Yang Mo's Rainbow Dragon is the top support among beast spirits, rivaling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower in power.
However, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, the Rainbow Dragon spirit has limitations. Upon reaching seven colors, or seven rings in cultivation, breaking through to Soul Douluo can be challenging without further opportunities.
Soon, the three engaged in light conversation, taking turns sharing stories.
Naturally, the main topic revolved around Gong Yang Mo revealing Ma Xiaotao's more violent moments to Chen Feng.
He recounted examples, such as when a certain arrogant male student had three ribs broken by Ma Xiaotao due to his arrogance, or times she aggressively attacked an inner courtyard student she disliked for no reason.
When Chen Feng discovered her past violent actions, Ma Xiaotao, embarrassed and furious, shot Gong Yang Mo a fierce look, her phoenix eyes blazing.
As Gong Yang Mo animatedly recounted her violent track record, he suddenly felt a chill. Turning around, he found Ma Xiaotao glaring at him with a menacing expression.
Instantly cold sweats broke out on his forehead, and his instincts kicked in as he hurriedly told Chen Feng, "Ahem, what I've said was all a joke. Don't take it seriously! Honestly, Sister Xiaotao is kind-hearted and never hurts anyone."
Next to him, Ma Xiaotao clenched her teeth, stating, "Gong Yang Mo, just wait; I'll get you for this (▼皿▼#)."
Meanwhile, others in the inner courtyard cafeteria had already caught on to the morning's unfolding drama and began to laugh heartily, eagerly anticipating how Ma Xiaotao would respond to Gong Yang Mo.
Feeling humiliated by the laughter, Ma Xiaotao's fists cracked ominously.
Recalling how some students had previously been brutalized by her, Gong Yang Mo gulped and pleaded, "Sister Xiaotao… I was in the wrong. I was just joking; please be gentle with me… Just don't hit my face. Wuwuwu."
He truly believed he was in serious trouble, desperately begging for leniency.
Throughout, Chen Feng remained calm and silent, not laughing at all. Ma Xiaotao was upset that Chen Feng had learned about her darker side, worrying that he might judge her harshly or see her differently. This just amplified her anger, revealing how much she valued Chen Feng's opinion.
As Chen Feng's partner, his goal was to ensure Ma Xiaotao felt cherished instead of embarrassed.
Though onlookers might find humor in her wrath and exposed past, for Ma Xiaotao, it was a source of shame. Should Chen Feng join the laughter, it would only infuriate her and lead to greater issues between them along with harsher repercussions for Gong Yang Mo.
Having lived two lives, Chen Feng was mature; but that maturity didn't equate to indifference. It meant effectively handling various challenges and viewing situations more rationally.
He embraced the furious Ma Xiaotao, surprising the onlookers.
Gong Yang Mo's eyes widened in disbelief: he actually hugged her!
Seeing Chen Feng calming down the fiery Ma Xiaotao, Gong Yang Mo felt he'd dodged a bullet.
With a sigh of relief, he silently vowed to think twice before speaking carelessly again.
Grateful, Gong Yang Mo eyed Chen Feng appreciatively.
