Chapter 48 Ma Xiaotao
As soon as she stepped outside, Xiao Xiao seemed to have mustered up her courage and asked, "Wang Dong, can I talk to you?"
Wang Dong waved his hand, "No need, I need to go back and prepare for tomorrow's competition. Xiao Xiao, we'll see how powerful your twin martial souls are during the freshman assessment."
As he spoke, Wang Dong grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulder and headed towards the school gate.
Xiao Xiao also understood Wang Dong's implied meaning, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. However, she secretly vowed to make Wang Dong see her strength during the freshman assessment.
"So you just rejected that girl so bluntly?" Huo Yuhao teased Wang Dong.
"I have plenty of girls who like me, do you think I can respond to every single one of them?"
At this point, Wang Dong added in an even more mature tone, "We're still young, and our studies should be our priority. How can we have other thoughts on this? Huo Yuhao, your mentality is really unhealthy."
"How is being in a relationship mentally unhealthy?" Huo Yuhao retorted.
"I just didn't expect you to reject me so ruthlessly. After all, girls are the most troublesome, especially girls who are psychologically vulnerable during adolescence. Some girls might do extreme things because of rejection."
"Girls in their teens are the cutest, what's so troublesome about them?" Wang Dong said, somewhat dissatisfied. "By the way, if you were the one being confessed to, what would you do?"
"Of course I'll run away! I know my own situation perfectly well. I don't want anyone who's not good enough, and being pestered is annoying. Running away is the best way to get rid of this entanglement."
"If someone with great qualities suddenly confesses their feelings to me, I won't believe they actually like me. They're definitely not after my body; they have some unspeakable scheme in mind! I'll run as far away as possible."
"It's like a young lady from one of the top three sects suddenly saying she loves no one but me, a person with mediocre talent and looks. There's something fishy about that, right? Of course, it's best to run away as soon as possible."
"Tch, do you think a rich young lady would be interested in you?" Wang Dong scoffed.
"There must be a big problem here, we should definitely avoid it."
"Isn't being single better? Dating is just asking for trouble."
……
To be honest, Huo Yuhao didn't really want to set up this stall today.
After all, this is the day in the original story when Ma Xiaotao first met Huo Gua in her conscious state.
Whether in his past life or now, Huo Yuhao dislikes people who are reckless and resort to violence at the slightest provocation.
As a modern person who grew up in a peaceful era, Huo Yuhao instinctively abhorred violence. Even after transmigrating for so long, Huo Yuhao had never truly taken action.
Ma Xiaotao, who is quick to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement and whose actions are often unpredictable due to the presence of evil fire, is difficult for Huo Yuhao to like and therefore he is unwilling to have much contact with her.
Unfortunately, as one of the strongest members of Shrek Academy in the Soul Fighting Tournament, Huo Yuhao's future interactions with Ma Xiaotao are inevitable, so he can only come and see how things go first.
Sure enough, speak of the devil and he appears.
"Xiao Xu." A cool voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this voice, Xu Sanshi, who was chatting with Huo Yuhao, shivered. His eyes were filled with three parts fear and seven parts helplessness.
The other diners behind Xu Sanshi immediately fell silent.
The newcomer was a woman in red, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. The first thing that would catch the eye was her slightly exaggerated chest...
Skipping over some unimportant details, Huo Yuhao looked up at the newcomer's face, but unfortunately, just like in the original story, she was wearing a red veil, so he couldn't see her face.
However, her pale pink eyes easily gave off a captivating and alluring feeling. Fortunately, her gaze was cold, which slightly suppressed that seductive and mesmerizing look.
A martial soul imbued with evil fire... in a sense, could also be considered a naturally alluring body?
Xu Sanshi forced himself to turn around, lowered his head slightly, and dared not look the newcomer in the eye. He greeted her softly, "Sister Xiao Tao."
Unlike Huo Yuhao, who already knew, this was the first time Wang Dong had seen Xu Sanshi like this. He was a little puzzled as to what kind of person could suppress Xu Sanshi so much that he couldn't lift his head, but the more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.
Ma Xiaotao glanced at Huo Yuhao's grill, then slowly walked to Xu Sanshi's side and said, "Xiao Xu, are you out eating grilled fish?"
Xu Sanshi nodded and said, "Yes! Yuhao's grilled fish is exceptionally delicious."
A hint of curiosity flickered in Ma Xiaotao's eyes as she said to Huo Yuhao, "Give me one to try too."
Huo Yuhao glanced indifferently at the queue, clearly indicating that Ma Xiaotao should join the queue first.
Several people who noticed Huo Yuhao's gaze changed their expressions, and a few who reacted quickly left the group and walked to the side.
With a few people taking the lead, even the most foolish among them knew it was time to slip away. In just a few breaths, the people who were originally behind Xu Sanshi scattered and left without a trace.
Especially the guy who was supposed to buy the next grilled fish, who had already paid, and the fish was even at the last step of sprinkling scallions on it, but he ran away without taking the fish or the money, and in the blink of an eye he was nowhere to be seen.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao remembered what the person looked like, so he could only fill in the details when he saw him again someday.
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly and handed the four grilled fish to Ma Xiaotao and Xu Sanshi respectively.
Wang Dong, however, couldn't stand it anymore: "Why are you ruining our business?"
"I'll treat you to the grilled fish today."
The woman in red raised her right hand, revealing her slender, onion-like fingers. On her right index finger was a large ruby, its vibrant red, as vivid as pigeon blood, exquisitely beautiful. With a flash of light, a handful of gold soul coins appeared in her hand, which she handed to Wang Dong.
"Consider the extra money as deposited with you."
Looking at the queue, Ma Xiaotao noticed the price listed on the wooden sign. There were people queuing up to buy grilled fish that cost one gold soul coin each, which made Ma Xiaotao even more curious about what was so special about these grilled fish.
Picking up the grilled fish and examining it closely, Ma Xiaotao recognized that it was just an ordinary grass carp, with a layer of sauce on its surface that she didn't know what kind of sauce it was, and a slightly spicy aroma.
Upon seeing this, Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly. Ma Xiaotao had always eaten food that was simply cooked and seasoned with only a small amount of salt, tasting more of the original flavor of the ingredients.
Huo Yuhao's cooking approach is completely the opposite; he mixes various ingredients, even things that aren't ingredients, together in his cooking. Can food made this way possibly taste good? (For a negative example, please use Indian food as a reference, thank you.)
Ugh, I guess I should add titles for the later chapters. Without titles, no one knows the general content of each chapter. When the author occasionally needs to check how the previous chapters were written, it often takes forever to find the corresponding content, which is really frustrating (╥_╥). As for the beginning, forget it, I'm too lazy to add them.
