Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Ma Hongjun Pisses His Pants in Fear After Learning of Chen Feng's Strength, and Chen Feng Puts Forward the Teapot and Teacup Theory
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder on the verge of explosion.
Ma Hongjun clenched his fists tightly, almost on the verge of flying into a rage.
But at the very moment when the conflict was about to break out, his gaze casually swept over Chen Feng and suddenly landed on the delicate and refined girl beside him - Zhu Zhuqing.
At that moment, the field of vision seemed to dim, and all sounds faded away.
There was only that girl who seemed to emerge from the water, as pure as a white lotus.
Ma Hongjun was instantly immobilized, like a wooden chicken.
Holy cow, in his entire life, Ma Hongjun had never seen such a beautiful girl.
"Damn it, this isn't right! Why does this guy get to have such a stunning beauty by his side?"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed in his heart, a tinge of jealousy welling up inside him.
"This guy must have accumulated a lot of good deeds in his previous life to have such good fortune."
[Ding, it is detected that Ma Hongjun has an envious emotion, and the emotion value + 50]
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, becoming even more curious about this mysterious person.
Perhaps this person had an extraordinary identity, probably someone from a wealthy family.
In an instant, Ma Hongjun's attitude underwent a subtle change.
Although his hand was still hanging in mid - air, ready to activate his martial soul, the impulse in his heart had been replaced by caution.
He realized that before figuring out Chen Feng's true identity, he had to be extremely vigilant and not act rashly.
[Ding, it is detected that Ma Hongjun has a fearful emotion, and the emotion value + 100]
The scene froze in that strange moment. Ma Hongjun felt caught in a dilemma, neither daring to strike nor willing to retract his martial soul.
Just as he was hesitating, a voice suddenly broke the deadlock.
"Ma Hongjun, stop immediately."
Ma Hongjun turned his head and saw Oscar, who usually had a gentle smile on his face. But at this moment, Oscar looked rather anxious.
"Oscar, what's going on?"
Oscar rushed over, panting, and the information in his words was like a heavy bomb, exploding in Ma Hongjun's heart:
"Quickly retract your martial soul."
"Do you think you're stronger than Teacher Zhao Wuji?"
"Even Teacher Zhao suffered a loss at his hands."
Fuck!
This can't be true.
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun widened his small eyes in disbelief.
[Ding, it is detected that Ma Hongjun has a shocked emotion, and the emotion value + 200]
The young man in front of him seemed to be about the same age as himself, and should be a new student.
Weren't new students usually bullied by Senior Dai until they cried for their parents?
And Teacher Zhao was much stronger than Senior Dai.
But now this new student could actually make a powerful person like Zhao Wuji suffer?
How powerful could his strength be then?
Thinking of this, cold sweat trickled down Ma Hongjun's back.
As if waking up from a dream, he finally realized what kind of disaster his recklessness just now could have caused.
If he had really made a move, the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.
With this realization, Ma Hongjun didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He quickly retracted his martial soul.
[Ding, it is detected that Ma Hongjun has emotions of shock + fear of the consequences, and the emotion value + 250]
"Ahem, this Cuicui is my girlfriend. We had some misunderstandings."
"I'm really sorry for my rudeness just now."
Ma Hongjun explained hastily, an embarrassed smile appearing on his face.
"Is that true?"
Zhu Zhuqing slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows and asked suspiciously.
"Absolutely true."
"If you don't believe me, ask her."
Ma Hongjun emphasized eagerly, his voice almost pleading.
His gaze turned towards Cuicui, filled with signals of help.
Ma Hongjun's heart was in turmoil. If he annoyed Zhu Zhuqing, there was an eight - out - of - ten chance he would annoy Chen Feng.
If he annoyed Chen Feng...
Did he really think he was stronger than Teacher Zhao?
[Ding, it is detected that Ma Hongjun has emotions of anxiety + fear, and the emotion value + 300]
Under the gaze of everyone, Cuicui slowly nodded. Her hesitant action seemed extremely important at this moment.
After all, although Ma Hongjun wasn't a good person, strictly speaking, he wasn't a bad person either.
She was indeed Ma Hongjun's girlfriend.
Ma Hongjun finally let out a sigh of relief. Since Cuicui had said so, he should be out of trouble, right?
[Ding, it is detected that Ma Hongjun has an emotion of relief, and the emotion value + 100]
"I have some thoughts on your situation. I wonder if you'd be willing to hear them."
"We're all ears," Ma Hongjun and Cuicui replied almost in unison, looking at Chen Feng with great curiosity.
"An ancient figure named Tang Sheng once said that men are like teapots, and women are like teacups."
"It's only natural for one teapot to be paired with several teacups."
"However, it's absolutely unacceptable for one teacup to be paired with several teapots."
Chen Feng's exposition of the "teapot - teacup theory" made Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Before he finished, he continued, "The problem between you two is easy to solve. Since Cuicui can't handle it alone, we just need to find more 'teacups' for Ma Hongjun, this 'teapot'."
After hearing this, Cuicui's face showed an expression of disbelief. Then she reacted and blurted out, "How can this be! Isn't that asking me to serve Ma Hongjun along with several other women? This is being a rascal. We might even end up in front of the magistrate."
However, Chen Feng was confident. "Don't worry. According to the laws of the Heaven Dou Empire, keeping mistresses isn't illegal. Besides, you two aren't even married yet. Cuicui, let me ask you, what are your plans for the future?"
Cuicui was taken aback. As a simple rural girl, she really had never thought about her life plans.
"You're not young anymore. I guess you'll get married in a year or two, right?" Chen Feng continued.
Cuicui nodded silently. A strange feeling welled up in her heart. Was it helplessness? Anxiety? Or a tinge of sadness?
"You were born in the countryside. What kind of person can you marry? Most likely a farmer," Chen Feng's words were like a sharp knife, cutting through the thin lid in the depths of Cuicui's heart, exposing all her unwillingness and anxiety.
Cuicui fell silent, her eyes flickering with complex emotions.
She knew that her future might be just as Chen Feng said, marrying a farmer.
In those endless fields, she would toil away her whole life, earning only a meager income. And as a farmer's wife, she would have to share the farm work.
The pace of youth is hasty, and the erosion of time is ruthless. When her youth faded, her beauty would also disappear.
That kind of deep - seated hardship and bitterness was deeply engraved in the hearts of every rural child.
She didn't want her future to be covered by the same hardship, but she was powerless to escape.
Alas, this is just her fate. What else can she do?
