Chapter 53 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, I'm exhausted today, we need to go eat something good to replenish ourselves."
Xiao Xiao covered her mouth and laughed, "Wang Dong, the way you're acting and looking right now, I would think you're a girl."
Huo Yutong nodded in complete agreement, she also thought Wang Dong looked 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 it being good-looking, don't you guys understand! Besides, it's normal to be tired and want to eat something quickly, why all the nonsense?"
Deng Mu laughed and teased from the side, "Oh, 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 also quickly added, "Yes, yes, Wang Dong, don't be angry. We were just joking. Come on, let's hurry to the cafeteria, I'm starving."
Xiao Xiao also laughed and chimed in, "That's right, after all this commotion today, I feel like I could eat a soul beast. Let's go, let's go."
Hearing their words, Wang Dong snorted, but the anger on his face dissipated a lot. "Hmph, I'll forgive you this time, but don't say that again next time, I'm a real man!"
He puffed out his chest as he spoke.
The group laughed and agreed, quickening their pace towards the cafeteria.
A few days later, after Deng Mu and Wang Dong finished breakfast, seeing that they still had some time before class, they decided to wander around.
They bypassed the freshman teaching building and walked east along the south side of Shrek Square, soon arriving at the lakeside path.
Passing through the woods beside the path, the shimmering Poseidon Lake came into view.
A gentle mist mingled with the fresh air wafted towards them. Although Poseidon Lake was only a man-made lake, its water was exceptionally clear. The azure blue was pure, deep, and gentle, with ripples spreading across its surface like the sparkling eyes of a young girl.
It reflected the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the shady green trees lining the lake.
"So beautiful!" Wang Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath and stretch.
Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao beside him nodded in agreement.
Looking at Poseidon Lake, Deng Mu couldn't help but recall the lakes he had seen before his transmigration; those lakes were truly magnificent.
This Poseidon Lake covered a vast area, probably even larger than the main campus of Shrek Academy west of Shrek Square. In the distance, a layer of mist hung over the water.
Then Deng Mu remembered something: according to the plot, he was about to encounter the rampaging Ma Xiaotao here, who would then be dealt with by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Just as Deng Mu was pondering, Huo Yutong noticed a red dot approaching them from afar.
The red figure was entirely red, even its hair was blood-red. It was tall and slender, yet exuded a chilling and ferocious aura, like a terrifying soul beast.
It wore a matching red mask, and even its eyes were blood-red.
The air around it distorted slightly, and wherever it passed, ripples of water mist spread out beneath its feet.
"This senior looks really strong! Look, he can run on the lake without even releasing his martial soul!" Wang Dong excitedly told Deng Mu.
Xiao Xiao saw Ma Xiaotao nod in agreement with Wang Dong and guessed it was probably a senior from the inner courtyard.
Just as everyone was talking, a terrifyingly high temperature suddenly swept over them, and Huo Yutong and the others simultaneously showed expressions of horror.
"Oh no, run!"
Xiao Xiao reacted the fastest, immediately telling Deng Mu and the others.
She then grabbed Deng Mu and the others, trying to escape.
Before they could even escape, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong fainted, leaving only Deng Mu and Huo Yutong still awake.
"Tianmeng, help her cool down," Deng Mu said, grabbing Ma Xiaotao's arm and addressing Huo Yutong.
Hearing Deng Mu's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke to Huo Yutong, temporarily controlling her body.
"Understood."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm slowly raised its right arm, pointing its index finger forward. Instantly, a beam of icy blue light flashed through the air, heading straight for Ma Xiaotao.
The temperature around Ma Xiaotao's body plummeted under the extreme chill emanating from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Struck by the blue light, Ma Xiaotao fainted and fell into the lake behind her.
Deng Mu swiftly caught Ma Xiaotao and placed her on the ground.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm curiously approached, asking Deng Mu, "Deng Mu, how did you know I was here, and why did you know I could use ice?"
Huo Yutong hadn't told her anything about herself, so she was very curious about how Deng Mu knew.
Deng Mu was somewhat speechless. He gently tapped Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's forehead and said, "Idiot, when you first appeared before 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. You dared to become a human's soul ring, so you must have some way to survive."
Hearing Deng Mu's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at him with admiration.
She thought Deng Mu was quite impressive. If it weren't for the fact that Deng Mu harbored some great secret, she would have chosen him.
"Not bad, 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 didn't hesitate to come closer to see what she wanted to do.
To Deng Mu's surprise, after coming closer, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tiptoed and kissed Deng Mu's cheek.
"Huh?!"
Deng Mu looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in surprise. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Huo Yu Tong fall to the ground.
Seeing Huo Yutong suddenly faint, Deng Mu quickly checked her condition and breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming she was alright.
Meanwhile, within Huo Yutong's mental sea, Huo Yutong cried out, her face flushed,
"Sister Tianmeng, how could you do this!" She genuinely hadn't expected Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to kiss Deng Mu with her body.
Although it wasn't "herself" who kissed him, it was Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body that kissed Deng Mu, so it still counted as a kiss, making her incredibly embarrassed.
While dodging Huo Yutong's attacks, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled and said, "Oh, Yutong, I just thought Deng Mu was a good kid, so I gave him a little reward. Don't be angry."
Huo Yutong stomped her foot angrily, "What reward? How can you be like this? Humph, I don't care, you have to go and explain things to Deng Mu. This can't just be left like this. "
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm waved her hand helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll go talk to him, but don't take it too seriously. Just consider it a little episode."
