"Can you let go now?"

Once they left Shrek City, Ma Xiaotao, who had been so compliant, suddenly pulled free of Luo Feng's hand.

Blushing, she snatched up a travel bag.

She seemed to want to hide her embarrassment.

Perhaps it was because of the relationship between phoenixes and dragons.

When this man had held her hand just now, Ma Xiaotao had actually felt a little deer bounding around in her heart.

The old saying, "a roaming dragon toys with a phoenix," had not come out of thin air.

There was an indescribable connection between the bloodlines of these two divine beasts.

Seeing her bashful expression.

Luo Feng did not push his luck any further.

Climbing a mountain was a boring business to begin with.

With such a beauty for company, it was simply wonderful beyond words!

"Haha, I never imagined Miss Xiaotao would look so captivating when she blushed!"

"You!"

"Hmph! I really don't know where you popped out from, and that dragon Martial Soul of yours..."

Despite Ma Xiaotao's resistant expression, she was already intensely curious.

As a prominent figure in Shrek Academy's inner court.

Xiaotao certainly could not be called inexperienced.

Especially when it came to identifying dragon Martial Souls.

But whether it was Sea God Pavilion Master Mu En's Radiant Sacred Dragon.

Or Xuan Zi's Godly Taotie Bull.

Or Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

None seemed as wondrous as the Martial Soul of this Luo Feng before her.

"Curious?"

"Then why not be my girlfriend?"

"I'll let you take your time exploring me, inside and out!"

Seeing Ma Xiaotao sneak glances at him.

Luo Feng immediately understood.

When Princess Vina had been in his arms earlier, she had sized him up with that same little look.

Women, no matter how they changed, never strayed from the same basic pattern.

Here on the Douluo Continent, there was no rule enforcing monogamy.

Besides, if he could bring a powerful Soul Master like Ma Xiaotao to the Heaven Dou Empire.

That would absolutely be like giving a tiger wings.

"Get lost!"

"Who-who's curious about you?"

Seeing her thoughts laid bare.

Ma Xiaotao's face reddened even further.

Yet while the two bantered back and forth, laughing and play-fighting along the way.

They completely failed to notice that they had picked up a tail.

It was Wang Dong.

Even this adorable tomboy could not figure out why she had followed them involuntarily.

And when she saw Ma Xiaotao waving her little pink fists, interacting intimately with Luo Feng.

Wang Dong's jealousy flared up again!

Because Sea God Tang San had sealed her memories.

The Wang Dong of this moment was just a young girl.

When her heart first awakened to love, whichever boy she encountered first would be the one she set her heart on.

Perhaps this was the underlying logic behind why the wealthy girl Wang Dong had fallen for the poor boy Huo Yuhao in the original story.

Unfortunately, in this timeline.

There was an additional Luo Feng, who had gotten there first.

"Jerk!"

"You fickle little thief, falling for every girl you see!"

She cursed him aloud, but her footsteps only quickened.

She even disregarded the risk of revealing her whereabouts.

Soon, Ma Xiaotao, who was camping halfway up the mountain, discovered the tail behind them.

And silently appeared behind this "junior brother."

"It's you?"

"Junior Brother Wang Dong, aren't you going to report to Shrek Academy? Why have you come mountain climbing too?"

Although Ma Xiaotao was puzzled at that moment.

Wang Dong's appearance was simply too much like a boy's.

Her tightly bound chest, deliberately cropped hair, and intentionally lowered voice.

In any case, an inexperienced girl like Ma Xiaotao could not tell the difference for now.

"Ah, s-senior sister..."

"Wh-what a coincidence!"

Realizing that her whereabouts had been exposed.

Wang Dong instantly looked embarrassed.

Hearing the commotion, Luo Feng also walked over in bewilderment, holding a cup of fragrant tea.

"Huh?"

"Young Sect Master, what are you doing here?"

This scene really was a little difficult to explain or make sense of.

But just as Luo Feng was about to ask further.

Wang Dong snatched the teacup from his hand.

And drank the hot tea straight down.

That was hardly surprising.

Luo Feng had come fully equipped.

He had kept taking out food and drinks, including little snacks, to share with Ma Xiaotao along the way.

Keeping both of them brimming with stamina.

But Wang Dong was different.

This young woman had followed them all the way, walking for more than half a day.

Without eating a single grain of rice or drinking a drop of water.

Coupled with the grief and resentment in her heart.

It had drained her stamina even faster.

But hungry, thirsty people should not gorge themselves.

Otherwise, their bodies would not be able to handle it.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Sure enough, before she had even finished the tea.

Wang Dong began to choke.

"Drink slowly. No one's going to take it from you!"

"Want some roast duck?"

Seeing this, Luo Feng could only step forward with an embarrassed expression.

He patted Wang Dong's back while trying to turn around to fetch some food.

But before he could turn all the way.

A small hand firmly seized the back of his clothes.

"Don't go!"

"You-you womanizing scoundrel!"

"Waaah!"

Wang Dong did not know what had come over her either.

Her heart had clearly been full of resentment.

Yet after seeing Luo Feng, she suddenly looked aggrieved, like a little wife.

As though the man before her were a heartless wretch who had abandoned his wife and children!

But this scene gave Ma Xiaotao, standing beside them, quite a fright.

"Are you two...?"

Although Wang Dong looked very delicate.

In Ma Xiaotao's eyes, this was still a "junior brother"!

And Luo Feng was clearly a rugged man.

"Could it be that you don't like women?"

"Or...?"

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's startled exclamation.

Luo Feng and Wang Dong both turned their heads awkwardly to look at this red-haired senior sister.

And so this one man and two women stared at one another.

For a moment, none could say a word...

"Um, why don't you explain for yourself?"

"Otherwise, you probably won't be able to hold your head up when you go to Shrek!"

After a long, stunned pause, Luo Feng spoke first.

Wang Dong first rolled her eyes at him.

Then gave a light cough!

"Ahem, um, senior sister..."

"Actually, I'm... I'm a girl..."

At last, Wang Dong returned to that sweet voice of hers from the animation.

It completely shattered Ma Xiaotao's composure.

"Ah!"

"Junior brother, you-you're a girl..."

"Then what are you two?"

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao instantly turned into a curious child.

Her peach-blossom eyes were filled with a desire to investigate.

"Well, we're the most familiar strangers..."

Without even thinking.

Luo Feng gave the title of a song.

But to his surprise, Wang Dong kicked him from beside him.

"You bastard!"

"You little thief who stole my heart but won't take responsibility!"

These were all things Wang Dong said instinctively.

In her heart, Luo Feng was a little thief?

"Haha, just what kind of story is there between you two? Your senior sister is dying of curiosity. Tell me!"

That was women for you!

Always full of gossip!

Ma Xiaotao had already been full of a desire to pry into Luo Feng.

Now she was even more curious.

But just as Luo Feng was about to explain.

Suddenly, the mournful howl of an unknown Soul Beast rang out above their heads.

"Awooo!"

"Boom!"

Then they saw what seemed to be an eruption of very dark, very evil Soul Power at the mountaintop.

This immediately caught Ma Xiaotao's attention.

"This is bad! It's an Evil Soul Master!"

"An Evil Soul Master is hunting Soul Beasts at the summit of Heavenly Spirit Mountain!"

"You two wait here. I'll go take a look!"

As a core member of the Shrek Inspection Corps.

Ma Xiaotao's duty was to search for and hunt down Evil Soul Masters.

And wouldn't you know it?

Work had come right to her doorstep!

Before Ma Xiaotao could charge more than a few steps, Luo Feng caught her left arm from behind.

"Don't be stupid!"

"You can tell at a glance that this Soul Power belongs to a Titled Douluo. If you insist on going, I'll go with you!"

But just then!

Wang Dong jumped up beside them too.

Her face flushed, and her beautiful eyes fixed unwaveringly on Luo Feng...

"I'm going too. Anyway, anyway, you're not allowed out of my sight!"

Hearing Wang Dong's words, Luo Feng had wanted to refuse.

But when he saw the look in her eyes, as though she was about to cry, he could only sigh helplessly.

"All right, then you have to stay behind me!"

"Evil Soul Masters are no joke, understand?"

"Mm, I'll listen to you!"
