Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 17 I Like You

Chen Qiye's lips were blocked by Ma Xiaotao, and he could only make muffled sounds.

Chen Qiye couldn't believe that Ma Xiaotao would do something like forcibly kissing him. Even if the evil fire was affecting her, it shouldn't have gone this far!

Chen Qiye didn't know that he wasn't the only one who felt that soul connection; Ma Xiaotao felt the same way. Several years of soul connection had also caused Ma Xiaotao to develop different feelings for Chen Qiye.

However, Ma Xiaotao was a few years older than Chen Qiye and had a clearer understanding of feelings. Ma Xiaotao could tell that Chen Qiye liked his senior sister. Ma Xiaotao believed that it was not just because of the martial soul fusion skill, but more like a feeling that arose from companionship and care.

Ma Xiaotao, being a novice, was always unconvinced. Why did Chen Qiye like her senior sister, even running away whenever he saw her, when it was the same time and place?

But Ma Xiaotao didn't want to wait any longer. Why did Chen Qiye treat her so well if he didn't like her? Was this kind of feeling right? For Ma Xiaotao herself, it was really cruel.

Since meeting Chen Qiye and spending several years with him, his stunning face has been deeply etched into Ma Xiaotao's mind, making her think about him day and night.

If he can make this young girl fall in love, how can he control her thoughts and body?

To be honest, Ma Xiaotao has suffered a lot, enduring it for so long.

It's important to know that when the first awakened one of the Evil Fire Phoenix, Ma Hongjun, was not yet powerful, he had to do those indescribable things to quell the evil fire.

Ma Xiaotao has never done that before, after all, she is just a girl.

It wasn't until she met Chen Qiye that she was truly opened up. As the years went by, Ma Xiaotao missed Chen Qiye more and more, and the evil fire in her heart grew stronger day by day. After several small outbursts, she could no longer suppress it and finally erupted completely.

To prevent any further accidents from happening to Ma Xiaotao, Chen Qiye could only let Ma Xiaotao look at his lips.

Meanwhile, Chen Qiye was using the power of extreme ice to expel the remaining evil fire from Ma Xiaotao, reducing the damage it caused to her body.

"Hiss... Mmm~ Ah~ Ah!"

Ice elements danced around Chen Qiye and surged into Ma Xiaotao's body, causing her to arch her back. The fusion of ice and fire created a stimulating yet comfortable sensation, making Ma Xiaotao involuntarily let out a unique sound.

.........

The alternation between cold and heat, over time, made the pain less clear. Perhaps because his mind was already somewhat clouded, Chen Qiye's consciousness gradually became confused.

Under the dual torment of mind and body, even he was on the verge of losing control.

In fact, although the flames of the Evil Fire Phoenix are domineering, they are still far inferior to the ultimate martial soul, the Fragmented Sword Scorpion.

Therefore, apart from enduring pain, he was only being physically forged by alternating hot and cold temperatures.

But while Chen Qiye felt the beauty and softness of the woman on his body, the physical torment was even greater.

"Ugh—"

Ma Xiaotao let out a long breath after leaving Chen Qiye's lips, her starry eyes slightly open. Since becoming a Soul Master of the Evil Fire Phoenix, she had never felt so comfortable.

From the very first day of her cultivation, she suffered greatly from the torment of the evil fire. Even with Chen Qiye's help, she wanted to give up, or, as Yan Shaozhe suggested, find another way to release it. But she wasn't just a girl; she already had someone in her heart. How could she possibly use that method?

But over the years, she ultimately endured it. In terms of mental fortitude, she was no less than Chen Qiye.

Ma Xiaotao was waiting, waiting for Chen Qiye to be willing, to be willing to let him say those words, even though he didn't know how long it would take, or even if it was possible...

But today, Ma Xiaotao and Chen Qiye have been in the Sea God Lake for so long that Ma Xiaotao has completely filtered her soul power through Chen Qiye's body. All the evil fire has been suppressed deep within her bloodline, and it will not have any effect on her for at least a long time.

Ma Xiaotao seemed to have also noticed that Chen Qiye's soul power had reached level 40, and his ice attribute element seemed to be evolving in a certain direction.

…………

As the firepower was unleashed, the surrounding ice had already melted into water. Ma Xiaotao suddenly exclaimed in surprise, only then realizing that Chen Qiye had once again fainted due to overexertion of his soul power.

Ma Xiaotao checked it over and said, "It's alright, it's just that you overused your soul power."

But when Ma Xiaotao remembered what had just happened, her cheeks flushed again. "I... how could I have blurted it out without thinking?"

Ma Xiaotao looked at Chen Qiye in his arms, "Did you say 'yes' just now? I hope I didn't mishear you."

Ma Xiaotao recalled the last words Chen Qiye uttered before he lost consciousness.

"If permitted, it's not impossible..."

Ma Xiaotao was an excellent swimmer; her long legs swung back and forth in the lake, quickly bringing Chen Qiye back to shore. Once ashore, she didn't dare use her soul power to help Chen Qiye recover.

The two are of completely different natures, one being ice and the other fire, so attempting to rescue them rashly might backfire.

Looking up, Ma Xiaotao realized that it was already evening, and the orange-red sun was lazily setting in the west. The sunset had turned half the sky completely red, which was exceptionally beautiful and made Ma Xiaotao feel even better.

Ma Xiaotao glanced at Chen Qiye, then hugged him back into her arms and placed him on the chair beside her, letting Chen Qiye's head rest on her lap.

"Seven Nights, even if the success rate is slim, I will still compete with Senior Sister..."

Before long, Chen Qiye lost the intense stimulation and gradually regained his senses.

At this moment, he felt that he had no strength left in his body, and the feeling of exhaustion was even more intense than after the attack last night.

"Cough cough."

Chen Qiye coughed twice, feeling pain all over his body, along with a strong tingling and itching sensation.

"You're awake."

Ma Xiaotao quickly lowered her head. Upon seeing her, Chen Qiye suddenly experienced a nosebleed and almost fainted again.

What reminded Chen Qiye was that when Ma Xiaotao carried him over before, they had quite a bit of contact! The two of them had been holding each other for more than ten minutes. If they hadn't both been in good spirits, most people would have already fainted.

Ma Xiaotao, unaware of anything amiss with herself, assumed Chen Qiye was injured and quickly picked him up and held him in her arms. This only caused Chen Qiye's nose to bleed even more profusely…

Ma Xiaotao panicked, wondering if Chen Qiye had been injured again.

"Qi Ye, Chen Qi Ye. How are you? Are you alright? Don't scare me. If you die, I'll pay with my life," Ma Xiaotao said anxiously.

"It's okay, Sister Tao." Chen Qiye said, ignoring his own nosebleed.

"That's good. If I let you get hurt again, I wouldn't have the face to see you again."

"It's nothing, it's just that my soul power is a bit overdrawn. Sister Xiaotao, you have to answer a question for me."

"Whatever the question, as long as I know the answer, I will answer it without reservation."

"Sister Xiaotao, why did you kiss me just now? You really..."

"That's right, I like you." Ma Xiaotao had already guessed what Chen Qiye was going to say and answered first.
