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

Chapter 79 I Will Take Responsibility for You

After taking a shower, Deng Mu went to bed to rest with Ma Xiaotao.

There was only one bed in the room; he couldn't possibly sleep on the floor.

……

"Hmm...where am I? How did I get here?"

Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes groggily, looking around in confusion.

She remembered that she seemed to have lost control again, and she couldn't remember anything else.

Ma Xiaotao was full of doubts. She rubbed her head and caught a glimpse of Deng Mu beside her. She was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and her cheeks instantly turned bright red.

I glanced at my clothes instinctively and realized I was only wearing underwear.

Could it be that she lost control last night and slept with Deng Mu?

For some reason, this strange idea suddenly popped into Ma Xiaotao's mind.

There are two ways to suppress the evil fire, but given the current situation, the two of them will definitely choose the second method.

Although the specifics of yesterday's events are unclear, given her strength and Deng Mu's strength, it was likely that she did that to Deng Mu.

Thinking about what I did to Deng Mu last night when I lost my mind, I feel incredibly sorry for him.

Perhaps she can make it up today?

"Well……"

Just then, Deng Mu woke up groggily.

Deng Mu rubbed his eyes, and as soon as he woke up, he met Ma Xiaotao's gaze. He instantly became alert, all sleepiness vanished, and he secretly thought something was wrong.

He felt a little regretful, wondering why he had taken off Ma Xiaotao's coat and caused some unnecessary trouble.

Deng Mu scratched his face and said to Ma Xiaotao, "Sister Xiaotao, I..."

Ma Xiaotao interrupted Deng Mu, grasping his hands: "Xiao Mu, I will take responsibility for you!"

Since she has already done that kind of thing, she should take responsibility for Deng Mu.

"????"

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Deng Mu looked completely bewildered.

Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

Seeing Deng Mu's expression, Ma Xiaotao rubbed his face and said, "What's wrong? Don't you want me to take responsibility?"

Deng Mu came to his senses, sighed, and said, "Sister Xiao Tao, you've misunderstood. Nothing happened between us last night."

He really wants to open Ma Xiaotao's head and see what she's thinking.

How could he think she slept with him? How could a grown man like him be slept with by someone else?

Ma Xiaotao frowned, her face full of disbelief. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Deng Mu's hand, saying, "How can I believe you? My clothes are all ruined, and you're telling me nothing happened? What about me…?"

As she spoke, a blush rose on her face again, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, but she still looked at Deng Mu stubbornly, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

Deng Mu sighed helplessly again and patiently explained, "Sister Xiao Tao, your lustful desire suddenly flared up last night, so I helped you suppress it. Seeing you were all dirty, that's why... There really wasn't anything else, I swear!"

He was a little confused. He had only taken off his coat, so why was Ma Xiaotao so excited?

Ma Xiaotao bit her lip. Although she felt that Deng Mu's explanation made some sense, she felt extremely embarrassed.

She mistakenly thought that she had slept with Deng Mu and therefore had to take responsibility for him. How could she face Deng Mu in the future?

Looking at Ma Xiaotao's conflicted and embarrassed expression, Deng Mu felt a little helpless. He scratched his head and said, "Sister Xiaotao, don't overthink it. It's just a misunderstanding. Let's just forget about it. It's not good to keep dwelling on this."

Ma Xiaotao snorted and muttered under her breath, "Easy for you to say, but I... sigh, anyway, I'm not going to get over this anytime soon."

Seeing this, Deng Mu thought for a moment and kissed Ma Xiaotao's cheek.

Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with astonishment. Her cheeks flushed red to her ears, and she instinctively shrank back, stammering, "Xiao Mu, what... what are you doing?!"

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao felt her heart beating very fast, as if it was about to jump out of her body.

Deng Mu explained earnestly, "Sister Xiaotao, I just wanted to tell you not to worry about this too much. Let's just treat it as an accident, really don't take it to heart. I just wanted you to relax."

Thinking to himself that Ma Xiaotao looked really cute, he figured she probably wouldn't be bothered by that matter anymore.

Ma Xiaotao covered her cheek where she had been kissed, her heart pounding wildly. She was both embarrassed and annoyed, and scolded playfully, "What kind of method is this? It's making things worse! Humph!"

However, the awkwardness in her heart dissipated somewhat, after all, Deng Mu's sudden action had immediately shifted her attention away from the previous embarrassing misunderstanding.

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

Deng Mu scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Sister Xiaotao, I was wrong. I was just too anxious. I wanted to stop you from making things difficult for yourself. Let's not think about those things for now. Let's focus on getting rid of your internal heat first. Nothing else matters."

Ma Xiaotao coughed lightly, trying to calm herself down, and rolled her eyes at Deng Mu, saying, "Hmph, you always have so many crooked ideas, but... but I'll let it go this time, don't do it again."

She couldn't help but recall the scene of Deng Mu kissing her just now.

Deng Mu scratched his head and said to Ma Xiaotao, "Sister Xiaotao, I've found a way to cure your 'evil fire'."

Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up, instantly casting aside her romantic thoughts, and she eagerly asked, "Really? What method? Is it reliable?"

Deng Mu nodded and said, "I am the sect leader of the Tang Clan. I checked the records and found that Ma Hongjun, ten thousand years ago, used the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to resolve his evil fire. According to the records, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is located in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. As long as you find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, you can resolve your evil fire."

Evolving into a nine-headed fire phoenix is ​​a very difficult thing.

Ma Hongjun evolved into a nine-headed fire phoenix by relying on the inner core of the primordial exotic ten-headed blazing sun snake, and after reaching level 100 and becoming a god, he completely evolved into a ten-headed fire phoenix.

Ma Xiaotao has Ma Hongjun's bloodline, and if she wants to evolve into a nine-headed fire phoenix, she will probably need a kind of immortal herb similar to the inner core of a ten-headed blazing sun snake.

Or perhaps, Ma Hongjun intervened and helped Ma Xiaotao's martial soul evolve into a nine-headed fire phoenix.

However, Ma Hongjun is probably still missing his wife in the God Realm, so it's impossible to get his help.

He probably never imagined that his descendants would exist on the Douluo Continent.

Ma Xiaotao's face lit up with surprise, but then she frowned, her eyes filled with worry: "The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? It sounds incredibly dangerous. Although it can cure evil fire, that place is probably extremely treacherous. How do you plan to go?"

Deng Mu smiled confidently: "Don't worry, in a few years we'll go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well together and find the Phoenix Sunflower to consume."

He can wait for Tang Hao or A Yin; either of them will do.

They both know about the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire; we can just talk to them about it later.
