Chapter 63 A year in a hurry

But there wasn't much blame in that tone, more of shyness and panic.

Deng Mu looked at her with a smirk on his face, scratched his head and said, "Sister Xiaotao, since you asked for a gift, how dare I not give it to you?"

Ma Xiaotao was both angry and amused by what he said. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Huh, you're the only one who thinks you're right, right? You're getting bolder and bolder."

Although she said this, her heart was beating wildly for some reason, and the blush on her cheeks had not faded.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao like this, Deng Mu kissed her again.

Ma Xiaotao was so shocked that her eyes widened and she couldn't help but cry out: "Ah!"

Her face instantly turned redder, like a ripe apple, and the deer in her heart began to beat wildly and panic.

"Xiao Mu, you...come on!" Ma Xiaotao was both embarrassed and anxious.

He raised his hand to hit Deng Mu again, but when his hand was raised mid-air, he gently dropped it and just glared at him in reproach.

Seeing this, Deng Mu quickly smiled and begged for mercy: "Sister Xiaotao, I was wrong. I couldn't help myself because you were so cute."

As he spoke, he took two steps back, acting as if he was afraid of being beaten.

Ma Xiaotao was both angry and amused by Deng Mu's behavior. She bit her lip and said, "Humph, you only know how to say nice things. This time you really went too far!"

But there was still not much sense of real anger in that tone, more of that kind of shyness that could not be hidden.

Deng Mu hugged Ma Xiaotao's arm and apologized to her: "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaotao, I won't kiss you anymore."

After hearing Deng Mu's apology, Ma Xiaotao felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She pouted slightly and said, "Hmph, that's good enough. Let's see if you dare to be so presumptuous next time."

But her eyes unconsciously glanced at Deng Mu, and the shyness in her eyes was still there.

Deng Mu nodded hurriedly and said sincerely, "I won't do that anymore. Don't be angry, Sister Xiaotao. I really know I was wrong."

As he spoke, he gently shook Ma Xiaotao's arm, looking like a child who was eager to be forgiven after making a mistake.

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw him like this. She patted Deng Mu's hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not really angry."

Then Ma Xiaotao whispered, "If you want to kiss me in the future, don't do it in front of other people. I'll be embarrassed."

Deng Mu was a little surprised when he heard this, and that naughty smile appeared on his face again. He said, "Sister Xiaotao, does this mean I can kiss you when there's no one around?"

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao's face flushed again. She raised her hand and gently hit Deng Mu on the head, scolding him: "Oh, you kid, you always try to find fault with me. I didn't mean that, humph!"

But there was a hint of coquettishness in her eyes, not much real blame.

Deng Mu smiled and dodged, scratching his head and said, "Okay, okay, Xiao Tao, I know, I will listen to you and will not mess around anymore in the future."

Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at Deng Mu, but couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, saying, "That's better. Remember what you said, or I'll be really angry."

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's mouth corners raised, Deng Mu nodded and assured Ma Xiaotao.

The two of them were joking with each other, and from time to time they would burst out laughing because of each other's witty remarks.

"Okay, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first. Xiao Mu, if you have time, you can come find me next door. I live next door." Ma Xiaotao stood up and prepared to leave, and said to Deng Mu.

Deng Mu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Sister Xiaotao, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll come find you when I'm free."

Watching Ma Xiaotao turn and leave, Deng Mu's lips curled up unconsciously. ...

Time passed day by day. Deng Mu studied hard in the inner courtyard. Ma Xiaotao would come to play with Deng Mu every now and then. In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

During this year, Deng Mu devoted himself to studying soul master knowledge and soul guides.

He listened carefully to every class taught by his instructors, took full notes, and whenever he encountered questions he didn't understand, he would ask his instructors or seniors for help.

As for soul guides, he spent a lot of time understanding their structural principles, production processes, etc.

Starting from the most basic knowledge of soul guide parts, he gradually moved on to trying to repair some simple damaged soul guides by himself, and his skills became more and more sophisticated through continuous practice.

After a few days, he became a first-level soul engineer, a little faster than Huo Yutong.

He had a dream to create the battle armor during the second stage of the battle.

Battle armor is a super mecha similar to armor, which is manufactured by soul masters themselves. It is equivalent to an extension of the soul master's strength and an important component of the soul master's strength.

During this year, Deng Mu took time to visit Huo Yutong and the others, and learned a lot of things at the same time.

After he left, the situation on Huo Yutong's side was similar to that in the original novel, but Huo Yutong's cultivation speed was faster than that in the original novel, and no one knew why.

For some unknown reason, Wang Dong suddenly became interested in soul guides and started learning about them together with Huo Yutong. As for his talent, he was slightly worse than Huo Yutong, which surprised Deng Mu.

Being slightly worse than Huo Yutong doesn’t mean Wang Dong’s talent is not good, it means that Wang Dong’s talent is very good.

Because of his suggestion, Tang Ya went to learn soul guides, wanting to combine soul guides with hidden weapons. However, Tang Ya's talent was average, not as good as Wang Dong and Huo Yutong.

As for his cultivation, he barely reached level 40. If he had not shared the effect of the elixir taken by Huo Yutong, he should be level 39 now, a little short of level 40.

"Well, it's vacation time. It's time to go back to see mother and Na'er."

Deng Mu stretched his body, leaned back in his chair, and talked to himself.

I don’t know whether Na’er has left or not. If Na’er suddenly leaves without saying goodbye, her mother will definitely be extremely worried about her safety.

I made an appointment with Tang Ya and the others a few days ago to go back together after the holiday to visit my mother and Na'er.

This time they rented a carriage. The horses were specially trained and were much faster than ordinary horses, so they could reach the North City faster.

Of course, the price is very expensive, and ordinary soul masters cannot afford to rent such a carriage.

"Xiao Mu, what are you doing?"

At this time, Ma Xiaotao's voice was heard, and then Ma Xiaotao climbed in through the window.

Deng Mu was startled by the sudden movement. After seeing that it was Ma Xiaotao, he smiled helplessly: "Sister Xiaotao, why are you climbing through the window again? The door is not locked."

He didn't know when it started, but Ma Xiaotao liked to climb in through the window. He told her several times, but she just wouldn't listen, which made him very helpless.

Ma Xiaotao clapped her hands nonchalantly and chuckled, "It's convenient to climb through the window. I heard you were going home?"

Deng Mu nodded and said as he sorted the books on the table, "Yes, I haven't seen mother and Na'er for a long time. I miss them so much."
