Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 533 Parting, Fire Dance's Token of Love?

Feng Xiaotian looked at Dai Chengfeng with sincere eyes.

"After today's battle, I, Feng, have come to realize what it truly means that there are always people more capable than oneself."

“In the past, I was often secretly proud of my meager skills, but now I realize that I was just a frog in a well, and it was utterly ridiculous.”

"Brother Chengfeng's strength, I am completely convinced."

Dai Chengfeng took in the fleeting complex expression on Feng Xiaotian's face and understood.

He wasn't one to show off, so he simply smiled modestly, his tone calm and without the slightest arrogance:

"Brother Feng, you flatter me. You are too kind."

"Your Gale Twin-Headed Wolf is a top-tier mutated martial soul with enormous potential. In particular, your self-created soul skill is ingeniously conceived and exceptionally powerful. Given time, its achievements will undoubtedly be limitless."

Seeing that Dai Chengfeng was not only exceptionally strong but also so humble, and even specifically mentioned and praised his self-created soul skill...

The resentment Feng Xiaotian felt because of Huo Wu dissipated somewhat, and his goodwill towards Dai Chengfeng also increased considerably.

He raised the water pouch in his hand, using water instead of wine, and gestured to Dai Chengfeng, conveying everything without saying a word.

The three girls sitting around Dai Chengfeng reacted in different ways.

When Ning Rongrong heard Huo Wu's undisguised praise of Dai Chengfeng, her small nose wrinkled slightly, and she subconsciously moved closer to Dai Chengfeng, as if to assert some kind of dominance.

She raised her delicate face, her glassy eyes filled with a hint of pride, as if she were the one being praised.

She muttered to herself, "Hmph, now you know how powerful Brother Chengfeng is, right? But Brother Chengfeng is one of us!"

Zhu Zhuqing remained aloof, sitting quietly beside Dai Chengfeng as if all the noise around her had nothing to do with her.

She simply tilted her head slightly, her gaze mostly fixed on Dai Chengfeng's profile. Her cool eyes seemed to soften slightly in the firelight, becoming exceptionally gentle.

As for Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she always had a meaningful smile on her lips.

Her alluring gaze swept between Dai Chengfeng, Huo Wu, and Feng Xiaotian, carrying a hint of knowing-it-all playfulness.

She seemed to be enjoying the subtle atmosphere around her.

The casual conversation continued in an atmosphere that seemed harmonious but was actually rife with undercurrents.

Huo Wu seemed to have endless curiosity about Dai Chengfeng, constantly asking him questions about cultivation and combat.

Although Dai Chengfeng's answer was concise and to the point, he handled the situation with great tact.

But this obvious attention still made Feng Xiaotian, who was standing to the side, feel extremely uncomfortable. He could only occasionally take a sip of water or lower his head to poke at the campfire to hide his unease.

As night deepened, the chill in the forest grew stronger.

Feng Xiaotian finally found an opportunity, using the excuse that he needed to take care of the injured vice president, and got up to say goodbye.

Huo Wu seemed a little reluctant to leave, but after Feng Xiaotian's reminder, she had no choice but to stand up reluctantly, say goodnight to Dai Chengfeng and the others, and leave the campfire with Feng Xiaotian.

But as she turned to leave, she couldn't help but glance back at Dai Chengfeng, the light in her eyes still clearly visible in the night.

Then, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Hu Liena also got up and returned to their makeshift tents to rest.

Dai Chengfeng shook his head and returned to his tent.

"What kind of nonsense is this? I'm not Tang San, and Huo Wu is..."

…………

...The next morning, as dawn broke, a light mist filled the forest, and glistening dewdrops clung to the leaves of the plants.

After a night's rest, everyone's spirits had recovered considerably.

Because the vice dean of Blazing Fire Academy was seriously injured and needed to return to the academy as soon as possible for more proper treatment, the group had to leave Star Dou Great Forest ahead of schedule.

The two sides parted ways in the morning mist.

Before leaving, Huo Wu hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered her courage and walked quickly to Dai Chengfeng on her own.

In the morning light, two barely perceptible blushes appeared on her pretty cheeks, and her eyes held a hint of girlish shyness, but more so a frank expectation.

She stretched out her hand, and in her palm lay an exquisite red card made of a special material with flame patterns on the edges.

“Dai Chengfeng,” her voice was much softer than usual, “I’m really… so grateful to you this time. If it weren’t for you, we probably…”

She paused, then didn't continue, instead pushing the card forward a little further.

"This is the highest-level VIP card of our Blazing Academy. With this card, you can receive assistance in any Blazing industry within the Heaven Dou Empire."

"If... if you ever come to the Heaven Dou Empire, especially to the Heaven Dou Imperial City, you must visit our Blazing Fire Academy! Let me... let us do our best to be your hosts and thank you properly."

After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Dai Chengfeng with her beautiful eyes, waiting for his response.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Hu Liena, who were just about to set off.

Ning Rongrong's lips immediately pouted slightly, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze also turned a little colder, while Hu Liena had a look of watching a good show, her charming eyes filled with a deeper smile.

Looking at the expectant face before him, and feeling the three gazes with different meanings shooting from behind, Dai Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

His expression remained unchanged. He smiled gently, calmly extended his hand, and accepted the card, still warm from the girl's touch, nodding as he said:
"Miss Fire Dance, you're too kind. Helping you is my duty."

"I will accept this card. If I have the opportunity to visit Tiandou City in the future, I will definitely pay you a visit."

There was no explicit promise, but there was also no direct refusal.

However, this was already enough to satisfy Huo Wu.

A bright, radiant smile instantly bloomed on her face, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes! It's a deal! Then... until we meet again!"

After saying that, she turned around with light steps, as if she had accomplished something important, and caught up with the Blazing Fire Academy team, who had already walked a few steps ahead.

Feng Xiaotian witnessed all of this, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He gave Dai Chengfeng one last, deep look, his gaze complex, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:

"Brother Chengfeng, take care! Until we meet again!"

"Take care, Brother Feng," Dai Chengfeng replied.

Watching the figures of the Blazing Fire Academy members disappear into the depths of the dense forest, Dai Chengfeng turned around, preparing to call his team to continue deeper into the mixed zone...

He could clearly feel three gazes falling on his back as if they were real, each carrying a different temperature.

Ning Rongrong was the first to come over, hugging his arm, tilting her little face up, and speaking in a sour tone, deliberately drawing out the words:
"Wow—Brother Chengfeng's charm is truly incredible!"

"They've only met once and spent less than a day together, and he's already completely infatuated with that proud and arrogant girl from Blazing Fire Academy?"

"They even specially presented you with a token of love... oh no, I mean a VIP pass! And they invited you to visit Tiandou City!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the red card in Dai Chengfeng's hand.
