Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 109 Pranks

Ma Xiaotao came to Deng Mu's side and said, "Xiao Mu, thanks to you. You said before that I would protect you, but I never thought that you would be the one protecting me in the end."

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with gratitude and guilt.

Deng Mu scratched his head and replied with a smile, "Sister Tao, we're teammates, it's only right that we protect each other. Besides, the situation was critical this time, I just did what I could."

Ling Luochen stepped forward and said softly, "Junior brother, we really owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for you, I probably would have been seriously injured as well. Your Blue Silver Rejuvenation Technique is truly miraculous, allowing everyone's injuries to heal so quickly."

Deng Mu waved his hand somewhat embarrassedly: "Senior, it's nothing, it's good that everyone is alright."

In his opinion, there shouldn't have been any serious injuries.

It's estimated that after he amplified Ma Xiaotao and the others, he killed even more people, which led to their serious injuries.

Elder Xuan approached Deng Mu and said, "Thanks to you this time, after the competition, I will take you to hunt a soul beast that suits you."

Deng Mu nodded in understanding. He wanted a 90,000-year soul ring, but if possible, a 100,000-year one would also be acceptable.

This is something you can just think about; how could it possibly take 100,000 years?

"I'll take Xixi and the others back to school first. Wang Yan, you take Ma Xiaotao and the others to the competition."

"Yes, Elder Xuan."

After Elder Xuan finished speaking, he quickly left with Xixi and the others, returning to Shrek Academy.

Wang Yan led Deng Mu and his group back to the military camp to adjust their condition before heading to Xingluo City.

On the way back, Xiao Xiao's mind was filled with the scene in Deng Mu's arms. Her cheeks flushed involuntarily, and her heart beat faster.

She glanced at Deng Mu and saw him gazing thoughtfully into the distance, seemingly contemplating something important. Xiao Xiao hesitated, but ultimately decided not to disturb him.

Ma Xiaotao noticed Xiao Xiao's unusual behavior, leaned closer to her, and whispered teasingly, "What's wrong? Have you fallen for our little hero?"

Xiao Xiao's face instantly turned bright red, and she glared at Ma Xiaotao reproachfully: "Sister Tao, what are you saying!"

Ma Xiaotao laughed and stopped teasing her.

Wang Dong and Huo Yutong felt a little jealous. Although they rationally understood that the situation was critical, they couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness.

Wang Dong remained silent throughout the journey. The usually lively girl simply followed quietly behind the group, occasionally glancing at Deng Mu and Xiao Xiao, then pouting before quickly looking away.

Huo Yutong walked on seemingly calmly, but her tightly clenched hands betrayed her inner turmoil. She bit her lower lip slightly, her thoughts somewhat chaotic.

After resting for an hour in the military camp, the group set off again for Xingluo City.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber throughout the journey. Deng Mu remained absorbed in contemplating the future, unaware of the subtle emotions of those around him.

As evening fell, they finally arrived at Xingluo City.

The bustling city was brightly lit and lively, with cars and pedestrians thronging the streets.

However, Deng Mu and the others had no interest in appreciating the bustling scene and headed straight for the Star Emperor's Grand Hotel.

"Everyone, get some rest tonight. We'll talk about everything else tomorrow."

"Yes."

Hearing Wang Yan's words, everyone returned to their rooms.

Deng Mu returned to his room and went straight to the bathroom without a second thought, intending to take a shower and get a good night's sleep.

"Knock knock..."

Just as Deng Mu had taken off his upper clothes, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock, Deng Mu went to the door and opened it, where Ma Xiaotao was standing.

Seeing that Deng Mu wasn't wearing any clothes, Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow and said, "What, you knew your sister was coming, so you took off your clothes to wait for her?"

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Deng Mu was a little embarrassed: "Ahem, Sister Xiaotao, I was just about to take a shower, I didn't expect you to come over."

He was a little puzzled as to why Ma Xiaotao had come over at this time.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up, and she said to Deng Mu with a smile, "Perfect timing, I also need to take a shower."

After saying that, he went into the room and closed the door behind him.

After entering the room, Ma Xiaotao pulled Deng Mu into the bathroom to take a shower.

An hour later, Deng Mu and Ma Xiaotao came out of the bathroom.

Deng Mu looked at Ma Xiaotao with some helplessness. If it weren't for Ma Xiaotao, he would only need a few minutes to take a shower, but with Ma Xiaotao joining him, it took him a whole hour.

Ma Xiaotao pinned Deng Mu against the wall, preparing to kiss him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Deng Mu, are you there? It's Xiao Xiao. I have something I want to tell you."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Deng Mu panicked when he heard Xiao Xiao's voice; they couldn't be seen in their current state.

Seeing that things were a bit chaotic, Ma Xiaotao said softly to Deng Mu, "It's okay, we can just talk through the door."

After saying that, he squatted down without waiting for Deng Mu's consent.

"hiss……"

Deng Mu couldn't help but gasp, looking at Ma Xiaotao with a hint of helplessness.

Despite the strange sensation in his body, Deng Mu tried his best to keep his voice steady as he said towards the door, "Xiao Xiao, I'm taking a shower. What's wrong?"

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment outside the door before saying, "Deng Mu, thank you so much for today. I don't know what I would have done without you. I... I just wanted to thank you in person."

Her voice carried a hint of shyness and sincerity.

Deng Mu quickly replied, "Xiao Xiao, there's no need to be so polite. We're friends and teammates, this is what I should do. You should go back and rest, you must be tired after a long day."

While speaking, he would occasionally glance at Ma Xiaotao, who was playing a prank, hoping that Ma Xiaotao would stop.

"Okay, then get some rest after your shower." Xiao Xiao said, and then slowly left.

Hearing Xiao Xiao's footsteps fade into the distance, Deng Mu breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at Ma Xiaotao, and said helplessly, "Sister Tao, what are you doing? What if we get caught?"

Ma Xiaotao stood up nonchalantly, grinning, and said, "Well, we didn't get caught. Look how nervous you were."

As she spoke, she reached out and pinched Deng Mu's cheek.

Listening to Ma Xiaotao's words, Deng Mu looked at Ma Xiaotao helplessly, wondering how she had become like this.

Speaking of which, the people who have had close contact with him have all changed a lot.

Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao were the most obvious examples, while Huo Yutong seemed to be unaffected.

"Alright, I'm going to reward you properly today."

As Ma Xiaotao spoke, she took Deng Mu's hand and walked towards the bedside.

She's getting impatient now; she'd been thinking about it for a while, but hadn't found an excuse to approach Deng Mu.

After all, she was a girl, and a little shy, so she couldn't just approach Deng Mu without a reason.

Since Deng Mu didn't take the initiative to contact her, she had to find an excuse to contact him.
