Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Seeing that things were going well, Dai Yuntian stopped teasing her. He smiled, walked to the table to pour himself a glass of water, and casually asked, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. What do you want? And why did you specifically lie in wait in my room?"

When the conversation turned to business, Ma Xiaotao finally seemed to recover a little from the awkwardness, but her tone still carried a hint of bitterness that she herself didn't realize:
"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong? Young Master Dai is a very busy man these days, rarely seen."

"You disappear for months at a time, and when you come back you don't even show your face. Are we, the insignificant people, supposed to be waiting anxiously for you to summon us?"

Dai Yuntian paused in his drinking, turned to look at her, and said with a smile, "Why does it sound like... you're being a bit jealous? Who upset our Sister Tao again?"

"Pah! You're the one who's jealous! Your whole family is jealous!"

Ma Xiaotao immediately went berserk.

But her gaze was somewhat unfocused; she dared not look at Dai Yuntian, and her voice lowered, carrying a hint of sullenness.
"I just... I just can't stand some people who don't use their minds for the right things!"

"The competition hasn't even started yet, and they're already fawning over your auntie, calling her 'auntie' so affectionately, massaging her shoulders and serving her tea... If you didn't know better, you'd think they were here for a beauty pageant!"

Dai Yuntian understood now.

So this guy saw someone trying to please his mother, felt resentful, but was too ashamed to compete, so he came to him to complain and vent.

He put down his water glass, turned around, and looked with great interest at Ma Xiaotao's face, which was particularly vivid with anger. He deliberately dragged out his words:
"Oh, so that's why..."

He took a step forward, closing the distance between them.

Ma Xiaotao was a little nervous when he suddenly got close to her. She subconsciously wanted to back away, but then felt that would be too cowardly, so she stubbornly kept her neck straight and didn't move, although her ears turned red.

Dai Yuntian leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of teasing, "So, Miss Ma, what do you think constitutes using your mind for the right thing? Like you, sneaking into a boy's room and sulking on his bed?"

A warm breath brushed past her ear, carrying Dai Yuntian's unique and familiar scent. Ma Xiaotao felt a sudden flush on her cheeks, as if a fire had spread from her feet to the top of her head, and she felt like she was about to burst into flames.

"Dai Yuntian, you...you're talking nonsense! Who, who's sulking? I was...I was supervising you! I was afraid you'd suddenly come back and slack off on training, dragging Shrek Academy down!"

Ma Xiaotao retorted with a fierce but weak tone, but her bright red ears and darting eyes completely betrayed her.

"Keep an eye on me..."

Dai Yuntian straightened up, stroked his chin, and pretended to think: "So how does Senior Sister Ma plan to supervise me? Will she stay and 'practice' with me? Or..."

He paused deliberately, his gaze sweeping across the room.

"You think beautiful!"

Ma Xiaotao finally couldn't take it anymore. Like a startled rabbit, she jumped back two steps to create distance between them. Her heart was pounding like a drum, and her face was burning hot enough to fry an egg.
"I... I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore! I'm going back to my room to sleep!"

After saying that, she almost ran to the door in a panic, pulled it open and rushed out, nearly bumping into someone who was about to knock on the door.

"Ouch!"

A sweet cry came from outside the door.

Upon closer inspection, Ma Xiaotao realized it was Tang Ya carrying a plate of exquisite pastries.

Tang Ya was clearly surprised that someone would suddenly rush out of Dai Yuntian's room, especially Ma Xiaotao, whose face was as red as a boiled shrimp and whose hair was a little messy.

The two girls stared at each other in the doorway, the atmosphere instantly freezing, before they simultaneously turned to look at Dai Yuntian inside the room.

Dai Yuntian: "..."

What sins have I committed?

Tang Ya looked at Ma Xiaotao, then at Dai Yuntian who looked completely bewildered in the room, and then at Ma Xiaotao's suspicious expression and clothing.

Although neat, it was clearly hastily organized. Tang Ya's eyes narrowed instantly, a dangerous glint flashing within them.

"Senior Ma?"

Tang Ya's sweet voice trailed off, carrying a cloying sweetness that sent chills down Dai Yuntian's spine: "What a coincidence, are you here to discuss tactics with Yuntian too?"

"By the way, Yun Tian, ​​did you just get back today?"

Ma Xiaotao: "!!!"

I'm not!
I don't!
Don't talk nonsense!
Dai Yuntian held his forehead.

Well, this is really going to be interesting.

It seems that his first "surprise" upon returning home was not for his parents, but for his "beauties".

……

The words "discuss tactics" were spoken by Tang Ya in a soft, gentle tone, yet they carried a chilling undertone.

Ma Xiaotao felt extremely uncomfortable under Tang Ya's gaze, especially when she thought about how embarrassed she had been "caught red-handed" in the room earlier, which made her face burn with embarrassment.

But you can't lose face, especially when facing a "suspected love rival".

When has Ma Xiaotao ever backed down?

"What's it to you?"

Ma Xiaotao stiffened her neck, trying to project her usual arrogant boss-like demeanor: "I have important business to discuss with him, but what about you, Tang Ya, sneaking around with that plate of snacks? What are you up to?"

"sneaking?"

Tang Ya blinked her beautiful big eyes, looking completely innocent, and moved the plate of pastries forward, her voice sweet:
"They saw some movement in Yun Tian's room and thought he might be back. They figured he must be hungry after his long journey, so they went to the kitchen and brought him some of his favorite snacks. That's called 'thoughtful,' doesn't Senior Ma understand?"

As she spoke, she naturally bypassed Ma Xiaotao, who was blocking the doorway, and went straight into the room, placing the plate of snacks on the table.

Then she naturally sat down next to Dai Yuntian, deliberately leaning closer to him, tilting her head up, and giving him a sweet, slightly coquettish smile: "Yuntian, when did you get back? You didn't even tell me beforehand so I could have picked you up~"

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

Her inner monologue at that moment: "Ugh! What a pretentious woman!"

Dai Yuntian was both amused and exasperated by Tang Ya's sudden and all-out coquettish offensive, but at the same time he could clearly feel the soft and warm body of the girl beside him, as well as the faint fragrance lingering around his nose.

He glanced subconsciously at Ma Xiaotao, who was still frozen at the door, her face turning red and white, clearly quite angry, and sighed inwardly.

It seems he won't have a moment of peace until he settles down with these two "little devils" today.

"I just got back not long ago."

Dai Yuntian reached out and naturally ruffled Tang Ya's little head as she leaned in, the gesture carrying a habitual intimacy. Then he looked at the door and said, "Sister Xiaotao, don't stand at the door anymore. Come in and close the door."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air, instantly easing the tense atmosphere in the room.

Ma Xiaotao bit her lower lip, but in the end, she walked in silently and slammed the door shut behind her.

Then she crossed her arms and stood angrily by the window, a distance from the bed and the table, making it clear that she wouldn't go along with their corrupt practices.

However, her phoenix eyes kept glancing at Dai Yuntian and Tang Ya's shoulders, which were very close together, and her eyes were practically spitting fire. (End of this chapter)
