Chapter 60: Chapter -60 I'm done.
Chapter -60.
In front of a big crowd, Ma Xiaotao felt a bit shy as Chen Feng wrapped his arms around her. She playfully pushed against his chest with her delicate hand, but Chen Feng just pulled her in closer, holding her even tighter.
Before long, Ma Xiaotao's gentle push turned into a playful little struggle...
After a cup of tea...
Feeling bashful, Ma Xiaotao snuggled into Chen Feng's embrace, too shy to look around at the curious onlookers. She buried her head in his chest like an adorable ostrich. Then, she playfully tapped his chest with her tiny fist, which felt more like a sweet gesture than a real push.
Chen Feng gently stroked her back and whispered in her ear, "Sister Xiaotao, I don't care about your strengths or weaknesses; what I really like is you, just as you are…"
His words melted away all of Ma Xiaotao's worries about him disliking her for her fiery side. She was left speechless, her cheeks flushed and her heart racing. Lifting her head from his chest, she gazed into his handsome face with longing in her enchanting eyes.
At that moment, Ma Xiaotao felt like her heart was melting, a warm wave of affection washing over her. She realized she had completely fallen for Chen Feng and didn't want to get back up.
With a burst of courage, she stood up, looked down at Chen Feng, and cupped his face in her hands before boldly kissing him, not caring about anyone else around.
Chen Feng's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected Ma Xiaotao to kiss him so passionately in front of so many people in the cafeteria!
He savored the softness of her lips, embracing her warm and passionate presence.
His earlier comforting words had worked wonders...
The onlookers, who had anticipated a fiery showdown between Ma Xiaotao and Gong Yang Mo, were instead treated to a scene of unexpected sweetness. They found themselves overwhelmed by the display of affection, unable to enjoy their meals.
"I can't take this anymore; it's too sweet for us single folks!"
"Same here, I'm out. This is just too much!"
"I'm done eating; I'm leaving!"
The guys couldn't handle the sweetness and left, while two female disciples from the inner courtyard watched with great interest...
After what felt like an eternity, their lips finally parted. Ma Xiaotao, feeling giddy, nestled sweetly back into Chen Feng's embrace.
Known as the "Fiery Demon," Ma Xiaotao now looked like a cute, well-behaved kitten, all soft and cuddly.
Chen Feng hadn't expected that a simple comment would deepen her feelings for him even more.
Looking down at Ma Xiaotao in his arms, he gently patted her back.
"Sister Xiaotao, it's time to eat."
"Mm~"
Chen Feng chuckled as she clung to him like an octopus. "Sister Xiaotao, if you keep holding on like this, I might just get a little upset."
Her ears perked up, and she finally let go.
As it got late, after Ma Xiaotao finished her meal, they parted ways, and Chen Feng headed toward the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.
The two female students who had been watching the scene followed Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao out of the cafeteria, strolling along the paths of Sea God Island.
"I can't believe Xiaotao found such a handsome boyfriend! He seems so gentle and not too old," one girl with dark eyes and a lovely smile said, reminiscing about Chen Feng's appearance.
"I never thought someone as fiery as Xiaotao could find a boyfriend! Does that mean I have a chance too?" another girl, who was a bit older but still beautiful, chimed in happily.
The girl speaking was named Wu Ming, known as the Golden Crow Saintess. She had a fiery temper and was often compared to Ma Xiaotao, as they were both known for their explosive personalities.
Wu Ming laughed, "What's this? Our Golden Crow Saintess is getting all romantic?"
"Of course! In four years, I'll be thirty. If I don't find a boyfriend by then, I might end up alone forever. Hmph, Han Ruoruo, don't tease me; we both know you have a thing for younger guys. Are you interested in Xiaotao's boyfriend?"
Han Ruoruo, known for her martial soul of the Shimmering Golden Rope, was second only to the senior sister Zhang Lexuan among the female students. Though her temper wasn't as fiery, she had a strong personality and was called the Golden Fairy, getting along well with Wu Ming.
Han Ruoruo shot Wu Ming an annoyed glance. "I just like looking at cute boys; I'm not really trying to find a boyfriend. That's Xiaotao's guy; it wouldn't be good if someone overheard us." The two of them laughed and chatted as they walked toward a loft...
After parting ways with Ma Xiaotao, Chen Feng had already reached the outskirts of Sea God Island. In front of him was the beautiful blue Sea God Lake, with a thin layer of ice crystals glistening on the surface. He quickly made his way toward the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.
At Shrek Academy, in the classroom of Class Nine for new students, Mu Jin stood at the front with a stack of lesson plans, explaining the course. As a teacher, she was more than qualified. Over the past month, she had focused on the students' weaknesses and started grouping them based on their martial souls.
Most of the students listened attentively, realizing that the academy was tougher than they had initially thought. With the new student assessment coming up in less than two months, everyone knew they had to step up their game.
As Mu Jin prepared to move on to the next topic, she noticed many students looking out the window. Wu Yue, spotting Chen Feng outside, exclaimed excitedly, "Teacher Mu Jin, the class monitor is back!"
Following the students' gazes, Mu Jin quickly spotted Chen Feng's handsome face as he stepped forward to open the classroom door. "Teacher Mu Jin, I'm back!"
The academy's higher-ups had already informed Mu Jin that Chen Feng had entered the inner courtyard, and now he was transitioning back to the outer courtyard. Not wanting to seem aloof toward such a promising student, she quickly welcomed him, "Chen Feng, welcome back! Come in, come in!"
Chen Feng walked into the classroom and found an empty seat. Some female students looked at him with admiration in their eyes. Thanks to Wu Yue's big mouth, the class already knew that Chen Feng had spent the past month in the inner courtyard.
Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yooner stared at Chen Feng as if he were a character from a fairy tale.
