Chapter 223: Feng Xiaotian — It Hurts, It Hurts So Bad! Shui Yue'er, the Ultimate Wingwoman!
"That voice..."
From a distance, Ye Yu could already hear a familiar voice, which made his heart stir. He quickly walked over.
Pushing through the crowd, he saw the scene unfolding at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
Clad in a fiery red long dress, Huo Wu, with her flame-red hair cascading over her shoulders and a strikingly heroic yet stunningly beautiful face, stood with arms akimbo, brows tightly knit, visibly annoyed.
In front of her, a young man in a tight-fitting azure training uniform, tall and lean with short silver hair and a mask over his face, was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Off to the side, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong stood arm-in-arm, shaking their heads. Their expressions were a mix of exasperation and resignation, as if this scene had long become routine.
Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd looked on at the flower-bearing, kneeling youth with amusement, disdain, and even sympathy, murmuring and pointing among themselves.
Ye Yu instantly recognized who this was.
Wasn't this none other than Feng Xiaotian, one of the Douluo Continent's infamous "Top Three Simps"?
"Xiao Wu!"
"Why?! We're still young, and while we might not be peerless geniuses, we're among the top of our generation in the Soul Master world! Our future prospects are limitless!"
"We can become strong on our own—so why did you choose to become that Ye Yu's subordinate?!"
"Even if he is more talented than us, so what?!"
"Freedom is priceless!"
"I heard from Wushuang that your dream was to become the strongest female Soul Master in the continent, to travel far and wide and see all its wonders!"
"But if you submit to someone, your freedom is gone! How will you ever realize that dream?!"
Upon hearing Huo Wu say, "I already belong to someone", Feng Xiaotian's eyes flashed with agony. He couldn't help but speak with passion.
As someone hopelessly in love with Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian had never wavered, even though Huo Wu had always treated him with disdain and annoyance.
He had even gone as far as rigging a match in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, dragging down the entire Godwind Team just to let Huo Wu's Blazing Fire Team win.
But then one day, Feng Xiaotian learned that his goddess was frequently visiting a certain mansion.
After investigating, he discovered that she had actually sworn loyalty to Ye Yu.
The mere thought of his goddess calling another man "Master" and meeting him each night was enough to make Feng Xiaotian feel the world go dark—a vast prairie of cuckoldry sprouting over his head.
His heart was completely shattered.
Of course, as a die-hard simp, Feng Xiaotian had deluded himself for a time.
Maybe Huo Wu and Ye Yu really were just in a pure master-servant relationship. After all, Ye Yu was the genius who led the Heaven Dou Royal Team to crush Spirit Hall's Team single-handedly and win the entire tournament.
The championship reward even included a fire-attribute 10,000-year Soul Bone.
Maybe, just maybe, Huo Wu had submitted to Ye Yu to obtain the Soul Bone and to learn from him in order to grow stronger.
Their relationship was probably clean and simple.
But one day, during yet another public confession attempt on the street...
Huo Wu exploded with anger and told him to stop pestering her—that she already had a master, and she didn't want to cause any misunderstandings.
That moment shattered Feng Xiaotian's delusions completely.
As someone who had silently loved Huo Wu for so long, no one understood her expressions better than he did.
When she got angry yet blushed slightly at the mention of Ye Yu, and her gaze grew unfocused—that was the look of a girl in love!
No! No!!
Feng Xiaotian was in so much pain—an unbearable, scorching pain!
Even so, Feng Xiaotian didn't give up. He kept pressing on, professing his love, hoping his sincerity would one day move her.
But clearly, his efforts had failed—Huo Wu only grew more annoyed.
She had someone she liked now.
Could Feng Xiaotian just take his simping and get lost already?!
"Ah Yu!"
At this moment, Dugu Yan suddenly spotted Ye Yu pushing through the crowd. Her eyes lit up with excitement and joy.
Ye Yu had been secluded for months in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, working on fusing the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. The girls hadn't seen him in half a year.
She quickly ran over, and Ning Rongrong wasn't about to be left behind.
The two girls each took an arm, clinging to Ye Yu affectionately.
Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing followed behind, a few steps slower. They exchanged a glance, both showing a mix of helplessness and amusement in their eyes.
Compared to the competitive Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong, the personalities of Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing were much more serene.
"Ye Yu!!"
Hearing Ye Yu's name, Feng Xiaotian stood up and turned around.
When he saw Ye Yu with girls on both arms—and two more trailing behind—he burned with fury.
This guy was a flagrant womanizer, utterly disloyal in love!
How could someone like him win the heart of his goddess?!
This was an insult to all men of pure love!
"Ye Yu! I challenge you!"
Even though he knew he stood no chance, Feng Xiaotian's anger and humiliation pushed him to raise a hand and shout the challenge.
"Feng Xiaotian, are you out of your mind?!"
Huo Wu couldn't believe he was not only pestering her but now even provoking her master, Ye Yu.
She stomped her foot in anger and shouted at Feng Xiaotian.
But he wouldn't listen this time.
In Feng Xiaotian's mind, even if he couldn't defeat Ye Yu head-on, he still had an advantage—he possessed flight-type Spirit Abilities.
Ye Yu's Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Soul couldn't fly.
He might not win, but he wouldn't lose either.
He had to prove to Huo Wu that he was no worse than Ye Yu!
"Big sis, look—it's happening again!"
Not far away, two tall, curvy girls in matching ice-blue dresses approached, hand in hand.
They both had long, flowing ice-blue hair—one exuded quiet elegance and calm, while the other was bright and mischievous.
Seeing Feng Xiaotian confessing again, the lively one, Shui Yue'er, pointed with her delicate finger and sighed in exasperation.
In her opinion, Feng Xiaotian wasn't lacking in talent, strength, or looks.
He was clearly a promising young man.
But why was he so hopelessly devoted to this fiery-tempered Huo Wu, even to the point of sacrificing his dignity?
His love was so lowly and pathetic that it stripped him of all masculine appeal.
Even she, a certified looks-over-everything kind of girl, couldn't find him attractive anymore.
Then she heard Huo Wu tell Feng Xiaotian, "Stop pestering me! I already have a master!"
Naturally, Shui Yue'er knew she meant Ye Yu.
Thinking of Ye Yu's handsome face, monstrous talent, and overwhelming strength, her playful blue eyes sparkled mischievously.
Looping her arms around her older sister, Shui Bing'er, she cooed sweetly:
"Sister! Look how charming Young Master Ye Yu is!"
"He already has Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing around him—and now even Huo Wu likes him!"
"You're the Ice Phoenix Spirit Master, unparalleled in Martial Soul quality, beautiful, talented, smart, and gentle."
"You're leagues above those girls!"
"In this world, only Ye Yu is worthy of you!"
"And now's the time—his entourage is still small."
"If you make your move now, you could become his official wife!"
"But if you keep being shy, and he gathers more women, they'll gang up to push you out—and then, you'll be stuck as a concubine!"
"Sis, if you really like him, go for it now! Don't hesitate!"
"If you wait too long, you might regret it forever!"
