Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck

Tang Lan looked at Ma Xiaotao with a gaze so intense it seemed to burn like a raging fire, filled with deep affection and anticipation, and then spoke. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 778 Carefully Trained

"Senior Ma Xiaotao, can you trust me this time and be my woman?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's delicate body trembled.

Like a tender willow branch gently swaying in a breeze, she bit her lip.

Her lips appeared even redder and more luscious from the effort she exerted.

A blush, as vibrant as the sunset, rose on her face, making her appear infinitely shy.

Ma Xiaotao nodded gently, her voice so soft it was almost a whisper, and slowly said:

"Yes, Tang Lan, I do."

Upon hearing this, Tang Lan was overjoyed, as if she were overwhelmed by a huge wave of happiness.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his arms and pulled Ma Xiaotao into a tight embrace, as if he wanted to meld her into his body and never separate them again.

This heartfelt embrace was clearly seen by the Shrek Academy students present, instantly stirring up a complex mix of emotions within them.

Some trainees looked on with envy, heads bowed, muttering under their breath:

"How come Tang Lan is so lucky to win the heart of Senior Ma Xiaotao? I'm no worse than him, so why hasn't such luck come my way?"

The voice was filled with helplessness and disappointment.

Some trainees were filled with jealousy, their teeth grinding together, their fists clenched tightly, thinking resentfully:

"Why him, Tang Lan? Why was it him who won Ma Xiaotao's heart?"

Their faces were so gloomy they looked like they could drip water.

Even worse, some, filled with resentment, stared intently at the embracing couple, gritting their teeth as they said:

"Hmph, it's just a temporary moment of glory. Let's see how long they can last. I don't believe they can stay this sweet forever."

Those malicious eyes seemed to spit fire.

However, these complex emotions—whether envy, jealousy, or resentment—

It had no effect whatsoever on Tang Lan and Ma Xiaotao, who were immersed in happiness.

They seemed to be in a world that belonged only to them, where all the noise and disturbances around them had disappeared.

Yan Shaozhe observed the students' varied yet somewhat unfriendly reactions.

He coughed lightly and said with a serious expression:

"Everyone, please don't have this kind of mentality. Tang Lan has made many indelible contributions to the academy, and he and Xiao Tao are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. We should give them our sincerest blessings, not harbor resentment."

Even with the dean's earnest advice, the flames of jealousy in the students' hearts were not completely extinguished.

The flames of jealousy still burned faintly in his heart, but he dared not let them spread unchecked for the time being due to the dean's authority.

Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and Yu'er frowned upon seeing this scene.

Tang Ya put her hands on her hips and said with a dissatisfied look:

"How could these people do this? Tang Lan and Sister Xiao Tao are such a perfect match, they should receive all of our blessings."

Jiang Nannan nodded slightly, a hint of worry appearing on her beautiful face, and echoed:

"Exactly. They should see Tang Lan's excellence and hard work, and everything he has done for the academy, instead of being blinded by jealousy."

Yu'er, her face flushed with anger, stomped her foot and huffed, "..."

"Hmph, let's ignore them and let them be upset on their own. We just need to wish Tang Lan and Sister Xiao Tao all the best."

Caught completely off guard, Ma Xiaotao was suddenly pulled into Tang Lan's arms.

In that instant, her body seemed to be frozen in place, instantly stiffening like a cold stone statue, completely still.

From childhood to adulthood, she was like a precious jewel, cherished and pampered by everyone.

Like a beautiful flower blooming alone on a high mountain, she always maintains her unique reserve and pride in the realm of emotions.

Being embraced so passionately and unreservedly by a man was truly a first for her.

Her body reacted almost instinctively.

The force of resistance surged up, and his hands rose uncontrollably high, as if carrying endless power, wanting to push Tang Lan away mercilessly.

However, in that critical moment, the scene of her agreeing to become Tang Lan's girlfriend flashed through her mind like lightning.

A fierce struggle began within her, a conflict stemming from both her long-held reserve and her instinctive resistance.

On the other hand, it's about recognizing the new identity and anticipating the relationship.

Ultimately, reason prevailed.

She persevered, relying solely on that sliver of hope and unwavering belief deep within her heart for this relationship.

He suppressed this strong resistance, which stemmed from his physical instincts, with all his might.

at the same time,

An unprecedented and strange feeling, like a new bud quietly breaking through the soil in spring, slowly rose in her heart.

The feeling of being tightly embraced by Tang Lan initially made her feel incredibly unfamiliar and nervous; her heart was pounding like a deer, filled with unease.

But when she tried to calm herself down and carefully feel and savor the experience, she was incredibly surprised to find that...

I don't seem to dislike this feeling at all.

Even in the deepest recesses of my heart, I still harbor a faint sense of anticipation and an almost imperceptible joy.

Tang Lan keenly sensed the slight trembling of the beautiful woman in his arms.

The subtle tremor was clearly transmitted through their embracing bodies.

He could also clearly feel the sensation when he first hugged her.

The resistance that suddenly erupted in the other party

That brief resistance was like ripples on a calm lake.

However, as he waited anxiously, he was delighted to realize that the other person did not push him away forcefully.

At that moment, a smile that was hard to hide involuntarily appeared on Tang Lan's face.

That smile was like a spring breeze, warm and content.

At this moment, Tang Lan's heart was filled with a mixture of tension and anticipation.

He knew Ma Xiaotao's pride and reserve, so the moment he embraced her...

He was actually prepared to be pushed away.

However, when he realized that the resistance had not turned into actual pushing, it was as if a bright light had been lit in his heart.

He pondered to himself:

"Xiao Tao didn't push me away. Does this mean that she has begun to accept me in her heart and acknowledges that she is my woman?"

This realization made his heart pound even harder, and joy surged within him like a tidal wave.

Because he knew perfectly well in his heart that Ma Xiaotao hadn't pushed him away.

This is tantamount to her silently acknowledging the undeniable fact that she is her woman.

Although at the beginning, Ma Xiaotao was clearly not used to such close contact, her physical reactions and expressions revealed her nervousness and unease.

However, Tang Lan firmly believed that with a few gentle and patient lessons,

The other person will inevitably fall into the depths of your affection and care, like a small boat finding a warm harbor, where it will find safe harbor. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 779 Sincere Blessings

Yan Shaozhe stood quietly to the side, his face as calm as a still lake.

However, his deep, unfathomable gaze remained firmly fixed on the figures of his disciples, Ma Xiaotao and Tang Lan, who were embracing tightly.

In that extremely brief instant,

His eyes were like a giant rock that had been thrown into a once calm lake.

A deep, comforting warmth welled up within me.

This warm feeling flowed slowly in his eyes and gradually spread.

It has to be said that Tang Lan is extremely unrestrained and lecherous when it comes to relationships.

He already had three beautiful and charming women by his side: Tang Ya, Yu'er, and Jiang Nannan, each with their own unique qualities.

Moreover, it is almost certain that in the long years to come,

There will surely be many more women who, like moths drawn to a flame by a candlelight, will flock around him without hesitation or fear.

If Ma Xiaotao resolutely and unreservedly chooses to follow him,

In matters of the heart, it's impossible to expect the other person to be completely devoted and faithful to you forever.

He remained devoted to her alone, cherishing her tenderness above all else.

However, it is an undeniable fact that must be acknowledged.

Tang Lan's talent is simply astonishing, reaching an extraordinary level that leaves people speechless and amazed.

Needless to say,

With his astonishing and unimaginable talent,

In the years to come, filled with unknowns and variables,

He will surely become that invincible being who stands at the very top of Douluo Continent, looking down upon the world and surveying all living beings.

If Ma Xiaotao can stay by his side steadfastly and without wavering,

Naturally, they also gain access to a brilliance that is difficult for others to achieve or even dream of.

Not only can it skillfully and properly resolve the extremely thorny and troublesome problem of its own internal heat,
