Heart in Turmoil

After a while.

"Mm..." Ma Xiaotao let out a long breath. Her starry eyes opened slightly, and her breath was fragrant as orchids. Ever since becoming an Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Master, she had never felt as clear-headed as she did now.

From the very first day of cultivation, she had suffered endlessly from the torment of Evil Fire. More than once, she had wanted to give up, or follow Teacher Yan Shaozhe's advice and vent it in another way.

Yet after all these years, she had ultimately endured, and sweetness had followed bitterness. Heaven had taken pity on her hardships and allowed her, a person long tormented by Evil Fire, to pick up (?) a Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice attribute the moment she stepped outside today.

She had completely filtered the Soul Power within her body through him.

Although her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul would still continuously generate Evil Fire, for the time being, she no longer had to worry about its backlash. At last, she could cultivate and fight to her heart's content.

For other Soul Masters, this was perfectly normal. But for Ma Xiaotao, it could only be described as a luxury.

Ma Xiaotao felt better than ever before. The wicked, scorching energy within her Soul Power was gradually dissolved by the handsome young man before her.

She actively sent her Soul Power into Chen Feng's body, then absorbed the Soul Power Chen Feng sent back into her own body.

With Ma Xiaotao's cooperation, Chen Feng's Cultivation Technique circulated even faster.

Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao entered a state of cultivation together.

The Yin-Yang Art within Chen Feng absorbed traces of Yin Energy carried in Ma Xiaotao's Soul Power and finally broke through.

Chen Feng's Yin-Yang Art had entered the first level, the beginner stage...

Cultivation knew no passage of time. In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

The moon set and the sun rose, warm sunlight streaming through the window into the room.

The once-dim room brightened. Under the sunlight, everything inside became clearly visible.

The room's layout was simple: one main hall and two bedrooms. The entire place was made of wood, including the floor. There were no unnecessary decorations, only a few pieces of furniture.

One could imagine how diligently its owner cultivated, and how monotonous her life was.

At that moment, in the middle of the main hall, a man and a woman sat on the floor, naked as they embraced each other.

Around the pair, one half bore scorch marks from flames, while the other half was covered in frost.

After cultivating through the night, Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes.

Like a sloth, Ma Xiaotao clung to Chen Feng. Her round, perky butt rested on his thighs, her chest pressed against him, and her head lay upon his shoulder.

Holding the warm, soft beauty in his arms, feeling that astonishingly compressed elasticity, and gazing at the peerless face resting against his chest—

Along with the Yin-Yang Art in his body that had reached the beginner stage, a faint smile appeared on Chen Feng's face.

Chen Feng knew that Ma Xiaotao was already awake. Under the detection of his Soul Saint-level Spiritual Power, Ma Xiaotao's pounding heartbeat was impossible to conceal.

However, Chen Feng did nothing excessive. Ma Xiaotao's nickname, the Flame Fiend, was no exaggeration.

The Ma Xiaotao before him might have been alluring, but she was also dangerous. If he lost control and tried to take advantage of her, what awaited him would be the iron fists of Ma Xiaotao the Flame Fiend.

Chen Feng restrained his desire and did not lose his sense of propriety because of the fragrant, seductive sight before him.

Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao had only met for the first time. They were strangers to each other. Being impatient now would only ruin their perfect beginning.

With that thought, Chen Feng leaned close to Ma Xiaotao's ear and said, "Senior Sister, I'm leaving."

Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes. Her pale pink, bewitching eyes held a trace of shyness, and a flush spread across her lovely face.

Leaning against Chen Feng's firm, lustrous body and breathing in his scent, Ma Xiaotao felt weak all over, without a shred of strength.

Ma Xiaotao felt Chen Feng's hands settle on her waist, then felt herself leave that comfortable embrace. Her heart felt strangely empty.

Chen Feng set Ma Xiaotao down and took a piece of clothing from his Storage Soul Tool. He draped it over her first, concealing that proud, tempting body that invited sinful thoughts.

Ma Xiaotao's thoughts were a tangled mess. She did not know how to speak. Scenes from yesterday unconsciously surfaced in her mind. Although Evil Fire had invaded her yesterday, she had not lost consciousness, and her memories remained intact.

Her memories told her that she had actually carried the young man before her back herself. Then her Phoenix Flame had burned away both their clothes, and then she had taken the initiative to hold him... Ma Xiaotao was instantly mortified.

It was Ma Xiaotao's first time having such intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex, and she felt utterly at a loss.

Seeing that the young man before her had taken such a huge advantage of her, Ma Xiaotao did not feel angry in the slightest.

She had carried him back herself, and she had burned their clothes herself. Moreover, he had helped her resolve her Evil Fire. From beginning to end, apart from holding her, he had not done anything improper.

This made Ma Xiaotao feel grateful and embarrassed, while also making her doubt her own charm. With a figure like mine, am I really that unattractive???

Then Ma Xiaotao watched Chen Feng take out another set of clothes and put them on. His smooth, flawless body was immediately hidden beneath the fabric.

Having grown used to the sight of the unclothed young man, Ma Xiaotao felt a faint sense of discomfort. Xiaotao, this is only your first meeting. Be more reserved. Don't scare him away.

Chen Feng saw that Ma Xiaotao said nothing. He smiled, then headed outside.

Ma Xiaotao had originally wanted to comfort the young man properly, to tell him something like, "Don't take it to heart." But she discovered that Chen Feng was actually leaving just like that?

Leaving!!

Just as Chen Feng was about to walk out the door—

Ma Xiaotao suddenly realized that she did not even know his name. She hurriedly asked, "You... what's your name?"

Chen Feng opened the door, and sunlight immediately poured in from outside, casting a layer of Golden Light over his entire body.

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's question, Chen Feng turned back. Framed by the sunlight, his profile was dazzling and perfect, while his brilliant black starry eyes seemed to reveal the glow of dawn.

Ma Xiaotao stared blankly at Chen Feng's profile, then heard the young man's uniquely magnetic voice—the same voice that had sounded beside her ear moments ago.

"Chen Feng. Feng, as in maple leaf!"

After saying that, Chen Feng walked out the door.

Ma Xiaotao pulled the clothes around herself more tightly. Her little heart could not stop pounding wildly.
