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

Chapter 62 The Gift

After a while, Ma Xiaotao seemed to remember something, sat up straight, looked at Deng Mu and said, "By the way, you have to be careful in this inner courtyard. Although everyone seems polite on the surface, the competition for cultivation resources is fierce."

If you encounter any unfair treatment, or if someone deliberately makes things difficult for you, you must tell me, okay?

Deng Mu nodded hurriedly, saying earnestly, "Yes, I know. Thank you for reminding me, Sister Xiaotao. I'll be careful. If anything happens, I'll definitely ask you for help immediately."

He was unconvinced. With his talent, what was there to be afraid of? Once his cultivation speed increased, he would strive to become a Title Douluo at the age of 18.

Then Ma Xiaotao said with a smile, "From now on, I'll have to trouble you with the problem of evil fire."

Listening to Ma Xiaotao's words, Deng Mu felt a bit of a headache. He didn't know how to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her anger.

No, there is another way, which is to cultivate with Ma Xiaotao.

Deng Mu scratched his head, looking at Ma Xiaotao somewhat awkwardly, and said, "Sister Xiaotao, I also want to help you completely solve the problem of your 'evil fire,' but my abilities are indeed limited right now. However, I will try my best to think about it and see if I can find other good solutions."

Ma Xiaotao waved her hand and said with a smile, "Oh, Xiao Mu, I was just saying it casually. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I've been looking for a solution myself."

She had heard before that immortal herbs could cure evil fire, but immortal herbs were something that could only be encountered by chance, and finding one was probably even more difficult than becoming a titled Douluo.

It is said that Tang San obtained many immortal herbs in a certain place, but the book did not specify the exact location, which she found extremely regrettable.

But thinking about it, it's normal. How could such a place be written out? If it were, there would definitely be a lot of people scrambling to buy it.

At that time, there wouldn't be a single magical herb left, and she had even less hope.

Hearing this, Deng Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, Sister Xiao Tao, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to find a solution. But you also need to be careful, lest that evil fire suddenly flares up again."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao leaned close to Deng Mu's ear and whispered, "Isn't there you, Xiao Mu? You can help me suppress it. If you're my cultivation partner, I'd be happy to."

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Deng Mu's eyes widened instantly, his face flushed red, and he said nervously, "Sister Xiaotao, what are you saying? This dual cultivation is not something to be taken lightly."

Seeing Deng Mu's embarrassed look, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ma Xiaotao gently patted Deng Mu's shoulder and said, "Look at you, so nervous. I was just joking, look how scared you are. But seriously, if there really is a way to completely get rid of this evil fire, I'm willing to try anything."

She really liked Deng Mu. She liked him very much when she first met him, and the teacher even wanted them to be together.

Deng Mu scratched his head helplessly and said, "Sister Xiao Tao, your joke really scared me. I thought you were serious."

Ma Xiaotao laughed and said, "Haha, I knew you would react like this. You look so nervous, it's hilarious. But I really hope to get rid of this evil fire problem. It's been tormenting me for too long."

Deng Mu nodded and said earnestly, "Sister Xiaotao, I understand. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you find a solution."

Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at him, feigning annoyance, and said, "Hmph, all you do is say nice things. But you are indeed quite likable. By the way, if you encounter anything interesting, remember to tell me, don't just keep your head down and cultivate."

Deng Mu replied, "Okay, if Sister Tao has anything fun, I'll share it with you right away."

Hearing Deng Mu's words, Ma Xiaotao nodded in satisfaction and took out a gift from her storage soul tool.

Ma Xiaotao handed the gift to Deng Mu and said with a smile, "Xiao Mu, this is for you. Consider it a small gift to welcome you into the inner courtyard, and also a reward for your hard work in studying my problem of evil fire."

She spent a long time choosing this gift before she finally picked it out.

Deng Mu hurriedly declined, waving his hands erratically, "Sister Xiao Tao, this is unacceptable. I haven't even helped yet, how can I accept your gift?"

Ma Xiaotao pretended to be angry and put on a stern face: "Just take it. Why are you being so polite with me? If you keep refusing, I'll really get angry."

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Deng Mu accepted Ma Xiaotao's gift. It was a cool, exquisite sandalwood box.

Upon opening the sandalwood box, one could see a soul tool accessory inside, emitting a soft glow.

The accessory had a unique design, seemingly carved from the bones of some rare soul beast, and was inlaid with several small but dazzling soul power gems, swirling with a faint colorful halo. It was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

Ma Xiaotao smiled and introduced to Deng Mu: "This is a defensive soul tool that can protect your life."

I looked at Deng Mu's information yesterday and thought this defensive soul tool was pretty good. It can protect Deng Mu's safety and can also be used as an ornament.

Deng Mu took out the gift from Ma Xiaotao and put it on his right hand: "Thank you, I really like this gift."

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

He started thinking about what he should give Ma Xiaotao in the future.

If someone gives him something, he can't just not give anything back, right? Even if there's nothing to give now, he should still have the idea of ​​giving something.

Seeing that Deng Mu liked it very much, Ma Xiaotao moved closer to him and asked, "Then, shouldn't Xiao Mu give me something in return?"

She planned to tease Deng Mu, but Deng Mu definitely wouldn't agree to the gift she wanted.

Deng Mu nodded and asked, "Sister Xiao Tao, what do you want?"

Ma Xiaotao pointed to her face and said, "Of course, Xiao Mu kissed me."

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Deng Mu knew she was teasing him, but he wasn't intimidated at all and immediately decided to play along.

Deng Mu deliberately pretended to be thinking seriously, stroking his chin and frowning slightly. After a while, he slowly said, "Sister Xiao Tao, your request is not simple, but since you've asked, I can't be stingy."

As he spoke, he kissed Ma Xiaotao's cheek without hesitation.

Ma Xiaotao was completely taken aback when Deng Mu actually kissed her. She froze, her eyes widened, and her face flushed instantly. She was so stunned that she forgot to react for a moment.

Several seconds passed before Ma Xiaotao came to her senses. Embarrassed and annoyed, she lightly slapped Deng Mu, scolding, "Oh dear, Xiao Mu, you...you really kissed me! I was just joking!"
