Detestable Lightbulb! Persistent Fatty

Ye Lingling stopped in her tracks.

She glanced slightly to the side.

There was no one there.

However, when she turned back around.

She was startled.

"Hi~"

A fat man with a round face and big ears had popped out from who knows where.

He was very close to her.

It was none other than Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun held a rose in his hand.

With an expression of extreme greed and enjoyment, he shoved it right up to his nostrils and took a deep, forceful sniff.

Then he said, "This beautiful lady, are you also here all by yourself?"

Ye Lingling: ...

Ye Lingling looked coldly at the fat slob in front of her.

Her slightly furrowed brows.

Revealed that she had no desire to pay any attention to this man.

However, Ma Hongjun did not seem to notice this.

Or rather.

He did not care.

The sky had already turned dark.

There was no one else around.

It was the perfect time to strike up a conversation with a beauty.

If he could hold such a beauty in his arms tonight, at this very moment.

Then, that would be a truly wonderful thing.

But.

Ye Lingling only gave him a cold glance.

She had never been one for socializing.

Moreover, this fatty looked incredibly sleazy.

He disgusted her.

Ye Lingling ignored him.

She walked straight ahead.

Brushing past him.

She felt annoyed by the thought of staying even one second longer.

"Hey..."

"Don't go, beauty."

"Can't you stay and chat for a while..."

Seeing that Ye Lingling was so unappreciative.

Ma Hongjun was unwilling to give up.

He immediately ran forward.

Persistent in his pursuit.

Just as Ye Lingling was feeling very angry.

And preparing to take action.

In the air.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Indeed."

"The night is lovely, and sitting down to discuss today's soul fighting insights wouldn't be bad either."

At the corner.

A shadow appeared.

Under the moonlight.

A figure holding a curved bow was revealed.

It was none other than him.

It was Ji Feng.

Swish!

Ma Hongjun, with a lecherous grin on his face.

And Ye Lingling, with her cold expression.

Both turned their gazes toward Ji Feng at the same time.

Ji Feng stepped out from the corner.

He held a recurve bow in his hand.

A smile played on his lips.

However, this smile.

In Ma Hongjun's eyes.

Seemed somewhat discordant.

At this moment.

Ma Hongjun's face stiffened.

His smile became difficult to maintain.

What is this guy doing here at a time like this?

He only managed to win by pure luck earlier.

Even Third Brother couldn't beat him, I'd better be careful!

Thinking of this.

Ma Hongjun's expression darkened.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingling, standing to the side.

A look of astonishment appeared on her icy face.

It's him...

For some reason.

When she saw that the person who appeared was Ji Feng.

Her cold heart suddenly stirred.

She actually felt a sense of relief.

Driven by an inexplicable impulse, she took light steps toward Ji Feng.

Then, she turned around.

Standing alongside Ji Feng to face Ma Hongjun.

This action caused a flicker of surprise in Ji Feng's eyes.

"Huh?"

This scene.

Caught Ma Hongjun's eye.

His expression instantly turned awkward.

This damn third wheel, couldn't come earlier or later.

He just had to show up while I was trying to pick up girls.

Isn't he doing this on purpose to ruin things!?

"Ji Feng!"

Ma Hongjun snapped.

Ji Feng said, "So it's the loser from Shrek Academy!"

He spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Who are you calling a loser!?"

Ma Hongjun had a fiery temper.

He was instantly triggered.

Ji Feng, however, was not afraid of this lecherous fatty.

He said calmly, "What, do you want to taste my arrows again?"

As he spoke.

He raised the recurve bow with his right arm.

And flexed his wrist.

"You!"

Ma Hongjun stared at the gleaming crossbow.

He instantly ducked his head.

Stammering, he said, "I just remembered I have something to take care of at home. Let's spar another day!"

He gritted his teeth.

He left, feeling extremely unconvinced.

Just moments ago at the Great Soul Arena.

He had already witnessed how formidable this guy was.

Now that he was alone.

If he fought this guy, he likely wouldn't get the better end of the deal!

Ma Hongjun left.

"Are you alright?"

After the person left.

Ji Feng was the first to speak.

Ye Lingling remained as cold as ever.

However, toward Ji Feng.

She was surprisingly not repulsed by the two of them standing so close.

Looking at him.

Ye Lingling's eyelashes were long.

She stared at Ji Feng with a pitiful gaze.

She nodded slightly.

A faint "Mn" escaped her lips.

"Since you're fine, I'll be heading back now."

Ji Feng said.

He had just been passing by.

And happened to see Ye Lingling being pestered by Ma Hongjun.

The two of them had encountered each other in the Star Dou Great Forest, so they could be considered to have a decent relationship.

That was why he had come over to help her out.

Now that the person was gone.

Naturally, he wouldn't continue to stay here.

"You..."

Ye Lingling stopped mid-sentence.

Just as she wanted to speak.

Ji Feng had already walked far away.

Ye Lingling's eyes trembled slightly.

She bit her lip lightly.

She felt a bit of regret in her heart; if only her personality weren't so cold.

However, what she was thinking.

Ji Feng would never know.

Shrek Academy grounds.

He walked into the academy.

The academy students' dormitory.

The lights in the room were still on.

Without needing to think.

He knew everyone hadn't gone to sleep yet.

Ma Hongjun snuck back in.

"Fatty!"

Suddenly.

A hushed voice called out to him.

He was likely afraid of waking the others.

Ma Hongjun jumped in fright.

He turned his head to look.

It was none other than him.

"Third Brother!?"

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened.

He scratched his head and asked, "You haven't slept yet?"

"Fatty, what were you just doing?"

Tang San's question.

Made Ma Hongjun's eyeballs roll around.

Then, he asked craftily, "Third Brother, do you know anything about Ye Lingling from the Imperial Academy?"

Tang San was stunned upon hearing this.

It seemed that Fatty's personality was impossible to change.

He was actually plotting his schemes against a girl from another team.

But that was fine, too.

At least his own teammates wouldn't have to suffer from his belly full of bad ideas.

Besides, it seemed that Ye Lingling was quite close to that detestable Ji Feng...

Thinking of this.

The corners of Tang San's mouth curled upward.

He had an idea in his mind.

So he said, "Fatty, this Ye Lingling has good prospects. If you work hard and strive for it, it's not impossible."

Watching Third Brother speak so calmly.

Without expressing any opinion on his intentions.

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened.

He felt very surprised.

"Third Brother? Do you know this Ye Lingling?"

Imperial Fighting Team quarters.

"Classmate Ye Lingling."

Just as she walked out of the quarters.

From quite a distance away.

She saw a man wearing red clothes waving at her.

His actions were extremely solicitous.

"This damn fatty..."

Ye Lingling looked up.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She didn't want to pay him any mind.

Just as she was about to turn away.

Ma Hongjun immediately showed off his agile physique.

Blocking Ye Lingling's path: "Hehe, Classmate Ye Lingling, don't be in such a rush to leave. I have something to tell you."

Ye Lingling had never met someone so exasperating.

She didn't want to deal with other people.

"Move!"

Her cold, clear voice rang out.

However, it didn't make Ma Hongjun restrain his actions in the slightest.

"How do you know Ji Feng?"

Ye Lingling: ...

The young girl glanced at him.

Clearly, she had no desire to answer such boring questions.
