Ma Xiaotao: I hate you

"Sizzle~"

As smoke rose from the chimneys, in a small courtyard in Shrek City, Lu Cheng held a string of bluefish in his hand, flipping them over and skillfully sprinkling them with seasonings before grilling them over a fire.

The grass carp made a sizzling sound, especially on its skin, which was gradually turning a pale yellow sheen—a sign that it was fully cooked; any longer and it would burn.

"Are you done?"

A soft, charming voice came from beside his ear. Lu Cheng's expression stiffened, and he nodded mechanically.

"I want you to feed me, Grandmaster..." The voice entered his ears, and the fragrance wafted from the beauty's nostrils, filling Lu Cheng's ears and making him feel a little itchy.

Lu Cheng was helpless and at her mercy. Thinking back, he remembered that she had always directly refused him. Even when this girl pestered him and acted coquettishly, he always maintained a calm and indifferent expression.

But now...

Their lifeline has been seized.

"Not bad, it tastes just like before." The beauty's veil had long since been thrown away; her red lips moved, her white teeth elegantly chewing the grilled fish. She slightly tilted her head back, her exquisitely beautiful face filled with joy and enjoyment.

As a peak Soul Emperor and a fire-attribute Soul Master, she didn't find the freshly baked fish scalding hot; on the contrary, it was just right.

Just like when she was in the Holy Spirit Cult, every time she went out with this guy, he would direct her to catch some grilled fish by the lake. Then she would squat by his side and watch him magically take out salt and seasonings from his pocket, calmly flip the grilled fish, and finally hand her a perfectly cooked grilled fish.

However, no matter how much she begged, she was always met with a "cold" rejection.

"Grandmaster, seeing you like this is really a bit unusual." Ma Xiaotao rested her chin on her hand, looking at Lu Cheng with a lazy and contented gaze.

It was as if they were watching their own prey.

The moment she exposed him, she wanted nothing more than to drag him back to Sea God Island and imprison him, making him make up for the lack of care he had shown her... Senior Sister Lexuan was a woman, but wasn't she?

Why is it that he can give up everything for Senior Sister Lexuan, but only feel pity for her, who's just a little kid?!

But as she ate the grilled fish, her joy returned.

With him in this world, I have something to look forward to for the rest of my life.

"Feel sorry."

Lu Cheng's eyes twitched. He felt a chill run down his spine for a moment when the girl had just looked him up and down.

He gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

What a tragedy...

If he had known it would affect reality, he wouldn't have gone on such a wild ride, leaving himself no way out.

"You helped me awaken my Martial Soul, my second Martial Soul, the Divine Fire Phoenix, what a majestic name... I should thank you, Grandmaster, why are you suddenly apologizing?" Ma Xiaotao's beautiful phoenix eyes curved into crescents, her smile flowing.

Lu Cheng remained silent.

"Brother Cheng, do you know? I've wanted to be your wife since I was little. I tried my best to compete with Sister Lexuan. I envied and even envied her because she and you were childhood sweethearts, because she occupied your everything, even everything from beginning to end. You lived for her." Ma Xiaotao's smile slowly faded, and she gently fiddled with her fingers. Her slender fingers, painted with red cardamom, looked exceptionally alluring and dazzling.

The girl seemed to be saying something casually.

But Lu Cheng hesitated, because he could clearly feel her body trembling slightly.

Because this Simulation Device was designed for Zhang Lexuan, and he wanted to become Zhang Lexuan's white moonlight, he treated Ma Xiaotao as a passerby from beginning to end, until he realized the precious feelings she had for him. She was always cautious, and his almost crazy obsessive love for him gradually made him understand Ma Xiaotao. In the end, he left her a parting gift that belonged to him.

"I abandoned Shrek Academy without hesitation to find you at the Holy Spirit Cult because at that time, you were my whole Life. From the moment you appeared in my world and helped me dispel the pain of being consumed by Evil Fire, my world gained more color..."

Ma Xiaotao continued to murmur softly.

"I..." Lu Cheng took a deep breath.

But Ma Xiaotao interrupted him.

"I love you, and I'm willing to risk everything for you, to abandon all worldly prejudices, Lu Cheng, it's because I love you!" Ma Xiaotao suddenly looked at Lu Cheng, her bloodshot eyes filled with tears.

"But why do you pretend nothing's wrong, treating me like a fool, a tool to be toyed with and discarded at will? Do you think my love is a toy? Something cheap?"

"No." Lu Cheng sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.

"Do you think I need your damn Martial Soul Evolution? I'd rather die with you! Why should Zhang Lexuan die with you? Why should I guard your grave for decades? Lu Cheng, you're really good at scheming!" Ma Xiaotao stared intently at Lu Cheng with her phoenix eyes.

Lu Cheng remained silent.

"Do I need your self-righteous protection?" Ma Xiaotao bit her red lips, then fell silent, her eyes filled with heartbreak and anger as she looked at Lu Cheng.

"You always think you've planned everything perfectly, but why don't you ask if what Sister Lexuan and I got is really what we wanted? You're too presumptuous, Lu Cheng..."

Ma Xiaotao said softly.

"Call..."

Lu Cheng exhaled a breath of stale air.

What else could he say? He had nothing to say.

"So in this life... Grandmaster, I beg you not to scheme against me anymore. If you really have to die, please take Xiaotao with you..." Ma Xiaotao stared blankly at Lu Cheng, her body squeezing into Lu Cheng's arms, her eyes reddening, her fair fingers tightly gripping her sleeves, her tears soaking Lu Cheng's hospital uniform.

"OK?"

The girl bit her lip lightly, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked up at Lu Cheng as if praying.

It was as if at this moment she was no longer the superior, dominant senior sister Ma Xiaotao, but the clingy and obedient junior sister of the inner courtyard.

"Okay!" Lu Cheng nodded solemnly.

"You're not allowed to lie to me..." Ma Xiaotao said, her eyes hazy and alluring as she wrapped her arms around Lu Cheng's neck.

I'm not lying to you.

"Okay, I believe you..."

Ma Xiaotao burst out laughing, her stunningly beautiful face resembling a blooming rose, alluring and dazzling.

It absorbed all the light around it.

Lu Cheng reached out and wiped away the beauty's tears, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but also gradually hardening.

strength...

Ultimately, all regrets and tragedies stem from a lack of strength.

Now, he must do everything in his power to improve.

Only then can we have a real voice on this continent.

Limit Douluo?

not enough.

There's still someone watching from above.

However... there's still a year before the main storyline begins, and with his current formidable top-tier talent, that's enough time for him to develop.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing..." Ma Xiaotao smiled sweetly, and with her delicate hand, she pulled a dark, block-shaped object from her pocket.

Flames rose in his hands, and as the temperature increased, the Whale Rubber gradually melted.

"Your sister is feeding you Whale Rubber..."

"And... there's also a medicinal bath!"

Lu Cheng: "..."

Sure enough, women are vengeful...

P. S.: Tomorrow it will still be noon.
