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

Chapter 54 Reencounter with Ma Xiaotao

After class ended, the students left the classroom one after another.

Wang Dong pulled Deng Mu's arm, "Let's go, we're exhausted today, we need to go eat something good to replenish ourselves."

Xiao Xiao covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Wang Dong, the way you're acting and looking right now, I'd think you were a girl."

Huo Yutong nodded in agreement, also thinking that Wang Dong was very much like a girl.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's face instantly turned red. He released Deng Mu's arm, put his hands on his hips, and said, "Hmph, I call this being beautiful, don't you understand? Besides, it's normal to be tired and want to eat something quickly, why all the nonsense?"

Deng Mu chuckled and teased, "Hey Wang Dong, don't be angry. You really are likable. Whether you look like a boy or a girl, you're still our good friend."

Huo Yutong quickly added, "Yes, yes, Wang Dong, don't be angry. We were just joking. Let's go, let's hurry to the cafeteria, I'm starving."

Xiao Xiao laughed and chimed in, "That's right, that's right. After all this commotion today, I feel like I could devour a soul beast. Let's go, let's go!"

Wang Dong snorted after hearing their words, but the anger on his face subsided considerably. "Hmph, I'll forgive you this time, but don't say that again next time. I'm a real man!"

As he spoke, he puffed out his chest.

The group laughed and agreed, then quickened their pace toward the cafeteria.

……

A few days later

After finishing breakfast, Deng Mu and Wang Dong, seeing that there was still some time before class, decided to wander around.

After passing the freshman teaching building, walk east along the south side of Shrek Square, and you will soon arrive at the lakeside path.

As they walked through the woods beside the path, the shimmering Neptune Lake came into view.

A gentle mist mixed with fresh air rushed towards me. Although Poseidon Lake is only a man-made lake, its water is extremely clear. The azure blue water is pure, deep, and gentle. On the blue brocade-like surface of the lake, a layer of slight ripples undulates, like the bright, sparkling eyes of a young girl.

It reflects the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the shady green trees along the lake.

"So beautiful!" Wang Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath and stretch his body.

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

Looking at Poseidon Lake, Deng Mu couldn't help but think of the lakes he had seen before his transmigration; those lakes were truly magnificent.

This Poseidon Lake covers a vast area, probably even larger than the Shrek Academy main campus west of Shrek Square. A layer of mist still lingers on the distant water.

At this moment, Deng Mu remembered something. According to the plot, he was about to encounter the berserk Ma Xiaotao, who would then be dealt with by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Just as Deng Mu was thinking, Huo Yutong noticed a red dot approaching them from a distance.

The red figure was entirely red, even its hair was blood red. It had a slender figure, but its whole body exuded a fierce and terrifying aura, just like a terrifying soul beast.

He wore a red mask on his face, and even his eyes were blood red.

The air around him distorted slightly, and wherever he passed, even patches of water mist rippled out from under his feet.

"This senior looks really strong! Look, he can run on the lake without even releasing his martial spirit," Wang Dong said excitedly to Deng Mu.

Xiao Xiao saw Ma Xiaotao nod in agreement with Wang Dong's words and guessed that she must be a senior from the inner academy.

Just as everyone was talking, a terrifyingly high temperature suddenly swept over them, and Huo Yutong and the others showed a look of horror in their eyes at the same time.

"Oh no, run!"

Xiao Xiao reacted the fastest and quickly told Deng Mu and the others.

After saying that, he quickly grabbed Deng Mu and the others, trying to escape from there.

Before they could even escape, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong both fainted, while only Deng Mu and Huo Yutong remained awake.

"Tianmeng, help her cool down."

Deng Mu grabbed Ma Xiaotao's arm and said to Huo Yutong, who was standing beside him.

Upon hearing Deng Mu's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke to Huo Yutong and temporarily took control of Huo Yutong's body.

"clear."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm slowly raised its right arm, pointed its index finger forward, and instantly, a beam of ice-blue light flashed in the air and disappeared, heading straight for Ma Xiaotao.

The temperature around Ma Xiaotao's body dropped sharply under the extreme cold emanating from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

After being hit by the blue light, Ma Xiaotao lost consciousness and fell into the lake behind her.

Deng Mu caught Ma Xiaotao with quick reflexes and placed her on the ground.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm curiously approached Deng Mu and asked, "Deng Mu, how did you know I was here, and why did you know I could use ice?"

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

Huo Yutong hadn't said a word about her, so she was very curious about how Deng Mu knew.

Deng Mu was speechless. He gently tapped Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's forehead and said, "Idiot, when you first appeared in front of us, you were radiating coldness. You most likely possess ice attributes. The reason we knew of your existence was because you voluntarily became Yu Tong's soul ring. If you dared to become a human's soul ring, you must have some way to survive."

Listening to Deng Mu's words, Tianmeng Bingcan looked at Deng Mu with admiration.

She thought Deng Mu was very good. If she didn't suspect that Deng Mu had some big secret, she would have chosen Deng Mu.

"Good job, I'm very loyal to you, here's a reward for you."

"What?"

"Come closer, and you'll see."

Seeing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smiling, Deng Mu approached without thinking to see what Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was up to.

To Deng Mu's surprise, after leaning in, Meng Bingcan stood on tiptoe and kissed Deng Mu's cheek.

"Um?!"

Deng Mu looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm with some surprise. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Huo Yutong fall to the ground.

Seeing Huo Yutong suddenly faint, Deng Mu quickly checked Huo Yutong's physical condition and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Huo Yutong was alright.

At this very moment, within Huo Yutong's spiritual sea.

"Sister Tianmeng, how could you do this!"

Huo Yutong, her face flushed, thrashed at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in front of her.

She truly hadn't expected that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would actually use her body to kiss Deng Mu.

Although it wasn't "herself" who kissed him, it was Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body that kissed Deng Mu, so it still counted as her kiss, which made her feel really embarrassed.

While dodging Huo Yutong's attacks, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled and said, "Oh, little Yutong, I just thought Deng Mu was a good kid, so I'm giving him a little reward. Don't be angry."

Huo Yutong stomped her foot in anger, "What kind of reward is this? How can you do this? Humph, I don't care, you have to go and explain things to Deng Mu. This matter can't just be left like this."

Tianmeng Bingcan waved her hand helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll go and talk to them, but don't take it too seriously, just treat it as a little episode."
