—------------------—
In a corner not far away, Feng Xiaotian's gaze was following Xue Tianxing and Shui Binger, his eyes full of complex emotions - envy, jealousy, and a bit of unspeakable loss.
Feng Xiaotian was not jealous of Xue Tianxing's Soul King strength, nor was he envious of Xue Tianxing's talent. After all, he had enough confidence in his "Two-Headed Gale Wolf" martial soul and self-created soul skills.
What really made him envious was the relationship between Xue Tianxing and Shui Bing'er - among the students of this generation of the Five Elemental Academies, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were undoubtedly the two most dazzling female soul masters. One was as cold as ice, and the other was as hot as fire. They were both the ideal objects in the hearts of countless people.
But Xue Tianxing not only won Shui Bing'er's favor, but the two were also very loving. Just now, he clearly saw that when Shui Bing'er looked at Xue Tianxing, her eyes were full of dependence and tenderness, and even her words were unconsciously submissive. This "obedience" was exactly what Feng Xiaotian dreamed of.
Then he thought about himself. He had been chasing Huo Wu for so many years and was attracted by her pride and enthusiasm since the first time they met. But no matter how much he gave, Huo Wu always ignored him and even often mocked him.
Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder:
Although his strength is slightly weaker than Xue Tianxing's, he is also a genius with innate full soul power.
Why can Xue Tianxing get Shui Bing'er's wholehearted treatment, but he can't even get a good look from Huo Wu?
At this moment, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind - perhaps, he could ask Xue Tianxing for advice?
Since Xue Tianxing can make Shui Bing'er so happy, maybe he has some tricks to pursue girls.
What if Xue Tianxing is willing to teach her a few tricks, maybe Huo Wu will change her mind about her, or even treat her like Shui Binger did to Xue Tianxing?
Once this idea came up, it grew like a weed.
The more Feng Xiaotian thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and he even began to think about how to start the conversation.
He secretly glanced at Huo Wu, who was not far away, and saw that she was chatting with her teammates from Chihuo Academy and didn't notice him at all. He then quietly left the team, took a deep breath, and walked towards Xue Tianxing and Shui Binger.
Huo Wu was already annoyed with Feng Xiaotian following her all the time, so when she saw him finally leave, she breathed a sigh of relief. There was even a barely noticeable smile on the corner of her mouth. She continued chatting with her teammates, not caring at all about Feng Xiaotian's whereabouts.
Xue Tianxing and Shui Bing'er were talking in low voices when they saw Feng Xiaotian suddenly walking towards them. They were both stunned, with confusion on their faces.
Shui Bing'er frowned, subconsciously thinking that Feng Xiaotian came to avenge Huo Wu - after all, Huo Wu had just been at loggerheads with her, and Feng Xiaotian was well-known for "protecting" Huo Wu.
So, when Feng Xiaotian approached, Shui Bing'er was the first to speak, her tone a little wary, her eyes staring at him coldly:
"Are you here to redeem Huo Wu? What, Huo Wu didn't say enough just now, so you have to argue with us again?"
Feng Xiaotian panicked when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands, explaining anxiously:
"No, no! I'm not here to cause trouble! Don't get me wrong!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Xue Tianxing beside him, with an embarrassed look on his face, and then continued:
"I, I have something I want to ask His Highness Xue Tianxing. It has nothing to do with Huo Wu."
Xue Tianxing raised his eyebrows and became even more curious - what could Feng Xiaotian want from him?
Is it about sparring or soul skills?
He looked at Feng Xiaotian's nervous expression and spoke slowly:
"Just tell me what you want to say. There's no need to be so reserved."
Feng Xiaotian subconsciously looked around when he heard this - people were coming and going in the banquet hall, and many of them were talking and laughing. Although no one was paying attention to this side, what he wanted to say was too private, and he was really embarrassed to speak in front of so many people.
So Feng Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice, and said to Xue Tianxing:
"Your Highness Xue Tianxing, there are too many people here, it's a bit inconvenient... How about we go somewhere quieter to talk?"
Xue Tianxing was stunned for a moment, then understood Feng Xiaotian's concerns.
He glanced at Shui Bing'er beside him, and seeing that she nodded, he nodded to Feng Xiaotian:
"Okay, let's go to the terrace over there. It's less crowded there."
After saying that, Xue Tianxing whispered to Shui Bing'er, "I'll be back soon," and followed Feng Xiaotian towards the terrace in the corner of the banquet hall.
Shui Bing'er stood there, looking at the backs of the two people, her heart full of doubts - what exactly did Feng Xiaotian want that he needed to talk to Xue Tianxing alone?
Is it a secret about Kamikaze Academy, or is there some other plot?
Feng Xiaotian walked to the terrace and looked at Xue Tianxing in front of him. He clasped his hands together nervously, his face full of confusion. The words he had thought of in his mind could not be said out loud.
After all, asking others for advice on how to pursue girls is too embarrassing for a proud man like him.
Xue Tianxing looked at Feng Xiaotian's embarrassed look and became more and more curious, but he did not urge him. He just stood quietly by and waited for him to speak.
The night breeze blew outside the terrace, bringing a bit of coolness, dispersing the noise in the banquet hall, and calming Feng Xiaotian's nervous mood a little.
Finally, Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath, as if he had made a huge decision. He raised his head and looked at Xue Tianxing with a pleading look on his face. He slowly spoke:
"Your Highness Xue Tianxing I, I want to ask you... How can I make the girl I like change her opinion of me? Just like, just like Shui Bing'er did to you..."
After saying this, Feng Xiaotian's cheeks turned red instantly. He didn't even dare to look directly into Xue Tianxing's eyes. He could only lower his head awkwardly and wait for the other party's response.
When Xue Tianxing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing - he never thought that Feng Xiaotian wanted to talk to him alone just to ask for advice on how to pursue girls.
Looking at Feng Xiaotian's embarrassed look, the doubts in his heart instantly dissipated, replaced by a bit of understanding and amusement.
After all, no matter how strong or talented one is, one will become clumsy and nervous when facing the person he likes, and Feng Xiaotian is no exception.
Xue Tianxing looked at Feng Xiaotian's nervous and expectant expression, shook his head helplessly, and got straight to the point:
"Honestly, a bootlicker can't get a goddess.
I see that you are good-looking, and your talent is among the best in the younger generation. Why do you have to keep staring at Huo Wu?
There is more than one outstanding female spirit master on the Douluo Continent."
