Chapter 20: Chapter -20 Turmoil of the heart.
Chapter -20.
After a little while, Ma Xiaotao let out a soft sigh, her sparkling eyes fluttering open, and a sweet scent filled the air. Ever since she became an Evil Fire Phoenix soul master, she had never felt as clear-headed as she did at that moment.
From the very start of her training, she had faced the challenges of the evil fire. There were countless times she thought about giving up or, as her teacher Yan Shaozhe suggested, finding another way to let off steam. But after all these years, she had stuck with it, and through her struggles, fate had smiled upon her, leading her to a soul master with the ultimate ice attribute today.
She was able to channel her soul power through Chen Feng. Even though her Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul still produced evil fire, she didn't have to worry about its backlash for now; she could finally train and fight without holding back.
For other soul masters, this might seem like a regular day, but for Ma Xiaotao, it felt like a luxury. She was feeling better than ever; the fiery energy in her soul power was gradually being soothed by the handsome young man in front of her.
With enthusiasm, she sent her soul power into Chen Feng's body, absorbing the energy he sent back into her own. Thanks to Ma Xiaotao's cooperation, Chen Feng's technique was working even faster.
Together, they entered a state of cultivation. The Yin-Yang Technique within Chen Feng absorbed the gentle yin energy from Ma Xiaotao's soul power, leading to a breakthrough.
Before long, Chen Feng's Yin-Yang Technique reached its first entry level...
Time flew by, and soon it was the next day. As the moon set and the sun rose, warm sunlight poured through the window, brightening up the room.
What was once a dim space was now filled with light. The room was simple, featuring a hall and two bedrooms, all made of wood, including the floor. It was quite plain, with minimal decorations and just a few pieces of furniture.
You could easily imagine the owner's dedication to training and the simplicity of their life. In the middle of the hall, a man and a woman sat on the floor, comfortably embracing each other.
Around them, one side showed signs of burning flames, while the other hinted at freezing. After a night of cultivation, Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes.
Ma Xiaotao, like a sleepy sloth, was cuddled up to Chen Feng, her round figure resting on his thigh, her chest against him, and her head nestled on his shoulder.
Chen Feng held her warm and soft form, feeling the incredible pressure and elasticity, while gazing at the stunning beauty in his arms. With the Yin-Yang Technique now in its initial stage, a smile spread across Chen Feng's face.
He could tell Ma Xiaotao was awake. With his soul saint-level spiritual power, he could easily sense her heartbeat.
But Chen Feng kept his composure; the nickname "Fire Demon Ma Xiaotao" wasn't just for show.
Sure, Ma Xiaotao was incredibly tempting, but she was also quite dangerous. If he lost control and took advantage of her, he would surely face the wrath of Fire Demon Ma Xiaotao.
So, he kept his desires in check, knowing that this was just their first meeting; they were still strangers. Rushing things now would only spoil the wonderful start they had.
With that thought in mind, Chen Feng leaned in close to Ma Xiaotao's ear and said, "Senior, I'm heading out."
Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes, her enchanting gaze tinged with a hint of shyness, her beautiful face flushed with a rosy hue.
Leaning against Chen Feng's solid form, breathing in his scent, she felt a wave of weakness wash over her, as if all her strength had vanished.
As she sensed Chen Feng's hands on her waist, she felt herself being gently lifted from that cozy embrace, leaving her with a slight emptiness.
Chen Feng set her down and pulled out a piece of clothing from his storage soul guide, draping it over her to cover her alluring figure.
At that moment, Ma Xiaotao was a bit dazed, unsure of what to say. Her mind wandered back to the events of yesterday. Even though she had been engulfed by evil fire, she hadn't lost consciousness, and her memories were clear.
Those memories reminded her that she was the one who had brought the young man before her back, and her phoenix flames had burned both of their clothes, after which she had taken the initiative to embrace him... Ma Xiaotao felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.
This was the first time she had been so close to someone of the opposite sex, leaving her feeling a bit flustered.
Looking at the young man who had taken such liberties, she felt no anger at all.
He had been brought in by her, his clothes burned by her own flames, and he had even helped her with the evil fire. Throughout it all, aside from holding her, he hadn't done anything inappropriate.
This made Ma Xiaotao feel both grateful and bashful, and it also made her question her own appeal: Was her figure really that unappealing?
Soon after, she watched as Chen Feng pulled out another piece of clothing to put on, covering his flawless body.
This made Ma Xiaotao, who was used to seeing him without clothes, feel a bit uncomfortable. She silently thought, "Xiaotao, you just met him; you should be more reserved and not scare him away."
Chen Feng glanced at Ma Xiaotao, said nothing, smiled, and then headed outside.
Ma Xiaotao had initially wanted to comfort him, maybe say something like "don't take it to heart," but she realized he was already walking away?
He was leaving!!
Just as Chen Feng was about to step out the door, Ma Xiaotao suddenly remembered that she didn't know his name, so she called out, "W-what's your name?"
As Chen Feng opened the door, sunlight poured in, casting a golden glow around him.
Hearing her question, he turned back, and in the sunlight, his profile looked dazzling and perfect, his sparkling black eyes shining brightly.
Ma Xiaotao found herself momentarily mesmerized by Chen Feng's profile, then heard his unique, magnetic voice that had just been by her ear.
"Chen Feng, Feng as in maple leaf!"
With that, Chen Feng walked out the door.
Ma Xiaotao tightened her clothes around her, her heart racing uncontrollably.
