Doing Good Deeds

When Feng Hao arrived, the two people who had been arguing immediately stopped.

"Teacher Feng, why are you here?" Ma Hongjun hurriedly asked respectfully.

"Teacher Feng?" Cuihua stole a surprised glance at Feng Hao.

He was way too young!

He was actually Ma Hongjun's academy teacher? That was far too unbelievable.

"I heard you two arguing quite fiercely, so I came over to take a look. What happened?" Feng Hao asked, pretending not to know.

As soon as Feng Hao said that, Ma Hongjun became awkward.

As for Cuihua, there was no need to mention her.

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

After all, a young couple's quarrel had been discovered by one of their academy teachers. They had utterly lost face.

"Teacher Feng, could we not talk about this?" Ma Hongjun asked awkwardly.

"If I tell you to speak, then speak. Stop with the nonsense," Feng Hao said sternly.

"Yes," Ma Hongjun replied listlessly. Left with no choice, he began recounting everything between himself and Cuihua.

His evil fire was too intense, and Cuihua could not bear it either, so they had no choice but to break up.

Naturally, Ma Hongjun was unwilling. Not to mention whether he would be able to find another woman after they broke up—

Their feelings for one another were not something that could simply be discarded with a word.

Moreover, they had been together for quite some time and had become very compatible.

He truly did not want to break up.

After listening to him, Feng Hao asked solemnly, "Do you like Cuihua?"

"I... like her," Ma Hongjun said softly.

He admitted that, at the beginning, he had intended to use his identity as a Soul Master to trick Cuihua into being with him.

Back then, his purpose had only been cultivation. He had never thought of loving her.

But unless someone had a heart of stone, they would eventually be moved.

In the end, he had fallen for this naïve woman who knew little of the world.

Feng Hao then looked at Cuihua and asked, "Cuihua, what about you? Do you like Ma Hongjun?"

"I... I do, but..."

Before she could finish, Feng Hao raised a hand to stop her.

"I can resolve Ma Hongjun's evil fire."

"Teacher Feng, is that true?"

Ma Hongjun was overjoyed. If it could truly be resolved, it would not merely solve their relationship problem—it would also make cultivation much easier for him in the future.

"Of course it's true. Do I have any reason to lie to you?" Feng Hao asked.

"Teacher Feng, then please help me resolve the evil fire in my body!" Ma Hongjun pleaded respectfully.

"Teacher Feng, please help him!" Cuihua also bowed as she begged.

"After I resolve his evil fire, will you still break up with him?" Feng Hao asked.

"I..." Cuihua looked at Ma Hongjun. After hesitating for a long while, she finally said shyly, "We won't break up."

"Ma Hongjun, Cuihua is such a good girl. You'd better not wrong her in the future. If you dare mistreat her, don't blame this teacher of yours for being harsh," Feng Hao warned.

"Teacher Feng, rest assured. From now on, I'll devote myself wholeheartedly to Cuihua. I will never betray your good intentions," Ma Hongjun promised solemnly.

Feng Hao believed Ma Hongjun's promise.

After all, this was the man who could stay by Bai Chenxiang's side until her death.

"Good." As Feng Hao spoke, a cluster of flames emerged. He sent the flame into Ma Hongjun's body.

After the flame entered Ma Hongjun's body, sweat instantly covered his face, as though he were enduring some sort of torment.

"Sit down," Feng Hao reminded him.

Ma Hongjun quickly sat down.

He felt as though a phoenix were roaming through his body. Whenever it encountered even a trace of evil fire, it devoured it completely.

As the phoenix continued to move through his body, it not only absorbed all the evil fire within him, but also cleansed his meridians and marrow.

As he sweated, filth continuously seeped out along with the perspiration.

About half an hour later, that cluster of flame flew out and transformed into a black phoenix.

Seeing the black phoenix, Feng Hao waved his hand. A streak of fire shot over and dispersed it directly.

After dealing with it, Feng Hao said to Ma Hongjun, "Go clean yourself up."

"Come with me," Cuihua said.

"Teacher, I'll head over first. I'll come thank you again tomorrow." Ma Hongjun stood and followed Cuihua away.

Watching their retreating backs, Feng Hao muttered to himself, "Doing good deeds really feels nice."

When Feng Hao returned to his room, Xiao Wu came to see him.

"Xiao Wu, what is it?" he asked curiously.

By all rights, she should not have finished reading that book yet!

"Brother Feng Hao, in the book you gave me, that... that dual cultivation... Is the cultivation technique you practice the Sun Scripture?"

Xiao Wu's voice grew quieter and quieter, until one had to listen closely to hear her.

"Yes, but that dual cultivation is only an extra feature. The two cultivation techniques can be cultivated directly as well. You can completely ignore that part," Feng Hao said.

"Brother Feng Hao, once I begin cultivating that technique, I'll dual cultivate with you."

Xiao Wu blushed so deeply that she seemed about to bleed, but she knew she had to take this step.

She had been too young before, but now she had grown up.

She did not want Brother Feng Hao to go looking for that woman she had never met, but whose scent she had smelled.

"Alright. Then I'll wait for my Xiao Wu." Feng Hao rubbed her head and spoke gently.

"Brother, I'll go back and keep reading, then," Xiao Wu said happily.

After all, this was the first step toward keeping Brother Feng Hao by her side.

"Go on. If there's anything you don't understand, come find me directly," Feng Hao said.

"Mm!" Xiao Wu nodded, then skipped away.

Watching Xiao Wu leave, Feng Hao found himself looking forward to it.

The Bunny he had raised for so many years had indeed reached the season to be eaten.

That night, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After listening to his subordinate's report, Ning Fengzhi asked with great interest, "You're saying that Feng Hao has now become a teacher at Shrek Academy, and that my daughter has enrolled in Shrek Academy?"

"Yes, Sect Master," the subordinate replied respectfully.

"Alright, you may leave," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Sect Master, what about the young lady?"

"No need to concern ourselves with her for now." Ning Fengzhi waved him away.

After the servant left, Ning Fengzhi muttered, "Flender is a man with ideals. An academy founded by someone like him naturally cannot be bad. I just never expected Feng Hao to join Shrek Academy."

"Sect Master, what were you saying about Feng Hao and Shrek?" At that moment, a white-haired man stepped out. His skin was as delicate as an infant's, and he looked exceptionally young and handsome.

With an ethereal, transcendent bearing, he was none other than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo, Chen Xin.

"Uncle Sword, it concerns Rongrong. Rongrong has gone to Flender's Shrek Academy, and Feng Hao is now teaching at Flender's academy as well," Ning Fengzhi said.

"What? Rongrong went to Shrek? No, I have to go take a look."

Chen Xin had always doted immensely on Ning Rongrong. How could he bear to see her suffer outside?

"Uncle Sword, it is precisely because of all of you that I want her to gain proper experience outside," Ning Fengzhi said irritably.

"I'm still going. But I'll listen to you, Sect Master—I won't bring her back."

"I want to see just what abilities this Feng Hao you all keep praising possesses, to be able to serve as Rongrong's teacher."

Chen Xin spoke resolutely. This time, even Ning Fengzhi could not change his mind.

It was already past midnight. I wrote a little, then revised it and rewrote it, which delayed things somewhat.

It happened to be the next day already, so please send in some recommendation votes for the new day!
