Chapter 106 Ye Huli's Ambition
Ma Xiaotao looked confused for a long time before she realized what was happening. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to chase after him.
Ling Luochen, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled her back and advised, "If you really do it, won't you fall into their trap?"
Ma Xiaotao thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense, but Ye Nanxiao, who was gloating, wasn't so lucky. "Xiaoxiao, Sister Xiaotao's cultivation has improved again recently. Shall we have a special spar when we get back?"
Ye Nanxiao's laughter stopped abruptly, and he said with an embarrassed smile, "Sister Xiaotao, I'm very busy when I go back, so I might not have time."
"Sister Tao is right, you've been a bit lazy lately," Jiang Nannan said with a smile.
Ignoring Ye Nanxiao's petrified state, Ma Xiaotao linked arms with Jiang Nannan and walked towards the canteen.
Huo Yuhao, showing a sense of loyalty, stayed where he was and waited for Ye Nanxiao to be freed from petrification.
Ma Xiaotao and her group chatted and laughed, and the previously tense atmosphere disappeared without a trace.
Walking at the very back, Wang Yan looked at the group of children in front of him and thought to himself, "Nanxiao, what a pity."
After a hearty meal.
"Nannan, may I borrow Nanxiao for a moment?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Jiang Nannan with expectant eyes.
Jiang Nannan was rubbing Ye Nanxiao's stomach, who was full, when she heard Ma Xiaotao's words and agreed without hesitation.
"But I'm still full." Ye Nanxiao wanted to struggle a bit more, but unfortunately, the cafeteria auntie had unleashed her full power tonight, and Ye Fox had eaten too much meat.
"This will help you digest it." Jiang Nannan tapped Ye Nanxiao on the head.
Ye Nanxiao, looking utterly dejected, was dragged away by Ma Xiaotao.
"Is it alright?" Ling Luochen handed Jiang Nannan a glass of juice.
"A little, but it would hurt his feelings, so I'd rather take a step back." Jiang Nannan looked down at the juice in her hand, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Ling Luochen sighed and stood with Jiang Nannan.
"Sister Xiaotao, can I rest for a while?" Ye Nanxiao touched his slightly swollen belly, lay on the ground and looked at the ceiling.
Ma Xiaotao sighed, walked over to Ye Nanxiao, squatted down, and reached out to rub Ye Nanxiao's stomach. While rubbing, she said helplessly, "Really, why did you eat so much today? You can just circulate your soul power to digest it."
"No!" Ye Nanxiao shook his head firmly. "That's an insult to food."
"."
Five minutes later, forced by Ma Xiaotao's iron fist, Ye Nanxiao had no choice but to use his soul power to accelerate digestion.
Ma Xiaotao and Ye Nanxiao sat facing each other on the bed, their palms touching, their soul power naturally flowing into each other's bodies, connecting them through the soul power bond.
After cultivating for a full two hours, Ye Nanxiao removed his hand. Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes, looking at Ye Nanxiao with some confusion in her beautiful eyes, "Why did you stop?"
"I don't want to cultivate anymore." Ye Nanxiao said these words seriously. He had experienced a lot today, which made him feel confused. As a result, he was hit with an iron fist by Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao withdrew her iron fist, looked at Ye Nanxiao who was holding his head in pain, and said helplessly, "Sigh, what can I say about you? You're good in every way, except that you don't care about cultivation."
"It's not like I'm slow at cultivation," Ye Nanxiao retorted.
Ma Xiaotao was stunned, as if it were indeed true. Among the reserve team, only Ye Nanxiao had reached the Soul King level.
"How old are you again this year?" Ma Xiaotao asked.
Ye Nanxiao was taken aback. As for the question of how old he was, he seemed to have never cared about it. From being alone to having Jiang Nannan accompany him, and then to his inexplicable acquaintance with Beibei and Tang Ya, he only cared about Jiang Nannan's birthday, and forgot about his own.
"Sixteen, I guess." Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment and said the same age as Jiang Nannan.
At some point, I forgot that I was a person outside the world.
"I see, then that's quite fast." Ma Xiaotao mimicked Ye Nanxiao's gesture of pinching her chin in thought, and said, "Let's change the subject. I heard you're not interested in the Shrek Seven Devils, so I'm just curious."
Ma Xiaotao knew that Ye Nanxiao would go back to be with Jiang Nannan after he stopped cultivating, so she thought it would be good for him to stay a little longer.
"I'm really not interested. The Shrek Seven Devils may be quite glamorous, but they're not what I want," Ye Nanxiao said, rubbing his head, which no longer hurt.
"Could it be that Jiang Nannan wanted to come to Shrek Academy, so you came along?" Ma Xiaotao suddenly thought of a possibility.
Ye Nanxiao nodded decisively.
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao had confirmed her guess, Ma Xiaotao felt a pang of sadness. She turned her head away and asked, "So, where do you plan to go after graduating from the Foreign Languages Department?"
"Stay put, but you'll probably be away from the academy most of the time," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Hmm? Staying in the inner courtyard?" Ma Xiaotao asked, puzzled.
"Yes, Nan Nan and Yu Hao will also be entering the inner courtyard." Ye Nanxiao got off Ma Xiaotao's bed, stretched, and said as he walked, "I still have to help Bei Bei and Tang Ya rebuild the Tang Clan, I'm quite busy."
"Without them, I might have traveled all over the continent alone and ended up as a carefree little landlord in a small village." Even Ye Nanxiao himself didn't realize that his words carried a hint of vicissitude.
If he hadn't met Jiang Nannan, he might have traveled the entire continent alone, eventually attempting to attain godhood and fulfill the promise made to the Snow Emperor.
Looking at Ye Nanxiao's somewhat thin back, Ma Xiaotao suddenly felt that the back looked so lonely. She got off the bed and gently hugged the figure.
Ye Nanxiao felt himself being enveloped in a warm embrace, and then Ma Xiaotao's hands began to rub his head.
"It's okay, I'll stay with you." Ma Xiaotao rubbed Ye Nanxiao's head, smacked her lips, and said that without the fox ears, it didn't feel as good to rub as before.
For a fleeting moment, Ye Nanxiao considered relying on the academy or others, but he was an outsider, inherently incompatible with this world.
He subtly broke free from Ma Xiaotao's embrace, gave her a smile, and said, "Sister Xiaotao, go to sleep early. You have a competition tomorrow. I'm leaving now."
He walked to the door, opened it, and closed it without hesitation.
Ma Xiaotao stared blankly at the closed door, lowered her head, and stood there.
After a long while, Ma Xiaotao raised her head, a resolute glint in her eyes. Having grown up in Shrek Academy and being a descendant of the original Shrek Seven Devils, Ma Xiaotao was incredibly proud. However, some things might be hindered by her pride, so why not be more frank?
"How should I put it?" Ma Xiaotao scratched her long, smooth hair. Tonight, she was destined to have insomnia.
Ye Nanxiao walked to a window in the corridor, staring at the dark sky with a complex expression in his eyes.
He knew about Ma Xiaotao's feelings, but the image of the angel in his heart had already saddened Jiang Nannan.
"Can't sleep? Or is something on your mind?" A gentle and familiar voice came from behind.
When Ye Nanxiao looked back, he saw that Bei Bei had opened the door and walked up behind him at some point, looking at him with a smile.
"I do have some worries, but not enough to keep me awake at night." Ye Nanxiao turned back to look at the sky.
"I'm interested in being a caring older brother." Bei Bei walked to Ye Nanxiao's side, crossed her arms, and looked at Ye Nanxiao with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao really wanted to say that he was older than her, but he held back the words.
"Are you shy?" Beibei looked at the dark sky.
"Beibei, are you planning to enter the inner courtyard?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"If Xiaoya can't make it, I want to travel all over the mainland with her." Beibei said this immediately after Ye Nanxiao finished speaking.
Knowing that Beibei had a fiancée, Ye Nanxiao turned to look into Beibei's eyes and said, "If there were another person who left a deep mark on your heart, what would you do?"
Beibei paused for a moment, as if remembering something, but still smiled and replied, "I will honestly tell Xiaoya that it's up to her."
"You're really henpecked," Ye Nanxiao laughed.
"Are you talking about yourself?" Beibei retorted without backing down.
"Likewise." Ye Nanxiao punched Bei Bei.
"Does Nan Nan know?" Bei Bei opened the window a little, put her arms on the windowsill, and enjoyed the evening breeze.
"I understand, I'm a little sad," Ye Nanxiao replied, his face filled with deep guilt.
A gentle evening breeze blew by, softly lifting Ye Nanxiao's long hair, which was almost entirely white.
Beibei paused for a moment, then teased, "Has anyone ever told you that you're prettier than a girl?"
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Bei Bei and said calmly, "You're not the first."
"So what are you planning to do?" Beibei changed her posture, leaning her back against the windowsill.
"I'll take a long leave some time after the competition ends." A determined glint flashed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes.
"When you come back, I'll be happy to see you kneeling on the washboard," Beibei said with a smile.
The two fell silent. After a while, Beibei said, "Nanxiao, thank you so much."
"We're like family, no need to be so polite, Senior Brother." Ye Nanxiao naturally understood what Bei Bei was talking about.
"That's right, Vice Sect Master." Bei Bei walked closer to Ye Nanxiao and put her arm around his shoulder. "I was just saying the same thing. There's no need for formalities between us. Just tell me if you can help."
"No problem, I'll kneel on the washboard with you then," Ye Nanxiao joked.
"Oh dear, there's a competition tomorrow, I should go to bed early." Beibei quickly went back to her room and closed the door without hesitation.
Seeing Beibei's utterly disloyal behavior, Ye Nanxiao really wanted to let Beibei experience the customs of the far north.
"Two grown men having a heart-to-heart talk late at night, talking about nothing of substance." Xue Di's amused voice echoed within the sea of consciousness.
"You've been reading too many comics, get lost."
"Okay, okay."
Ye Nanxiao raised his hand to smooth his hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, and muttered to himself, "It'll be soon. You need to take care of yourself and wait for me."
Then, a faint red glint appeared in Ye Nanxiao's eyes. Recalling the subtle feeling he had during the recent competition, he wondered to himself, "Did they notice me?"
Ye Nanxiao had considered that if he encountered a Soul Saint-level evil Soul Master, he would still have a chance to deal with it thanks to his bloodline. Even as a Title Douluo, Ye Nanxiao was confident of escaping. However, if he brought others with him, it would be uncertain.
"My ambition is nothing more than protecting those I cherish." Ye Nanxiao closed the window and walked towards his room.
Within Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea, Xue Di put down the comic book she had condensed with her spiritual power and said with a look of surprise, "It's rare to see Xiao'er so determined. Then I'll make my preparations as well."
Today, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the readers. I am very grateful to those who voted for this book, and especially to all the readers who have consistently voted for it. I, Lu Xiaozi, am simply writing this book out of curiosity and will listen to your opinions. Finally, let me say this: let's all be civilized.
