"Is there anything that can't be said here?" Ye Feng asked tentatively.
"I want to talk to you alone."
Huo Wu lowered her head, looking a little awkward.
Ye Feng was stunned. In the original storyline, he remembered that Huo Wu kissed Tang san after he advanced to the tournament. That was because Tang San had saved her life. A hero saving a beauty—Huo Wu had developed a secret crush on Tang San.
But now, since Ye Feng hadn't defeated Huo Wu like Tang San did, he had some doubts about why she was seeking him out. It shouldn't be as simple as just kissing him.
Observing her carefully, Ye Feng noticed a blush on Huo Wu's fair face—one that only a girl in love would have. In other words, Huo Wu had a secret crush on him instead.
"Go," Liu Erlong said.
"Erlong."
"Go. You agreed to her request, are you afraid she'll eat you?" Liu Erlong smiled.
As a woman, Liu Erlong could see through Huo Wu's girlish thoughts at a glance. She liked Huo Wu's personality very much. Liu Erlong's martial spirit was the Fire Dragon, while Huo Wu's was the Fire Shadow. To her, this felt like fate.
"Huo Wu talked to me again today. Hahahaha."
Feng Xiaotian was ecstatic. The goddess he admired had spoken to him again today.
Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, he suddenly saw Huo Wu.
When he was about to greet her, he noticed Ye Feng following closely behind her.
"Ye Feng? Why are they together? Could it be… they're in love?"
Feng Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He couldn't accept that possibility.
Curious, he silently followed behind them.
Ye Feng followed Huo Wu into a forest outside the large parade ground. The trees were dense, and Huo Wu, dressed in red, looked like a fire elf weaving through the lush green.
"Do we have to keep going forward?" Ye Feng finally asked.
"Are you so reluctant to take a walk with me?" Huo Wu turned around and looked at Ye Feng with resentful eyes.
"No! I just wanted to say there's no one else here. If you have something to say, let's talk here." Ye Feng smiled.
"You… why did you go easy on me? And why did you give me guidance?" Huo Wu asked curiously.
"Do I have to answer that?" Ye Feng frowned slightly.
If he answered, he'd have to reveal the system. That was something he'd take to the grave.
"Are you that unwilling to talk to me?" Huo Wu looked at him with resentful eyes again.
"No, it's just that everyone has their own secrets and privacy." Ye Feng replied.
"That… makes sense."
Huo Wu paused, then lowered her head, turned her back to Ye Feng, and continued, "What kind of girls do you like?"
"Ah?" Ye Feng was stunned.
Is my romantic luck really kicking in?
"I asked you—what kind of girls do you like? Is that a secret too?" Huo Wu turned around and looked at him.
"That's… hard to say. I'd say I'm very philanthropic."
"Philanthropic?"
"Yeah, I like all kinds of girls. Especially pretty ones."
"Ye Feng, so you're a playboy."
"You could say that. But…" Ye Feng paused and justified himself, "Orchids, peonies, chrysanthemums—they all have their own beauty. For me, girls are the same. If this is considered being a playboy, then I'd rather be one to the end."
"Uh!"
Huo Wu was stunned.
She paused, her face turning red. She didn't know what she was thinking, but her heart was racing.
Ye Feng said he liked all pretty girls. Did that include her, Huo Wu?
She was confident in her looks—many admired her at Godwind Academy, especially Feng Xiaotian, who was pursuing her.
"Did you ask me here just to tell me this?" Ye Feng asked.
"Ye Feng." Huo Wu stomped her foot angrily. "Am I that annoying to you?"
"You misunderstood again. There's no beautiful scenery here, no good food—it's not suitable for a date. The only thing this place is good for is… well, couples sneaking around."
"Date? You mean… you're willing to date me?"
Huo Wu's eyes widened in surprise. Then, realizing her reaction was too eager, she quickly stomped her foot and said angrily, "You always say things that make my heart race! Can't you be clearer?"
"You're blaming me for this? I didn't expect you to be this dumb." Ye Feng teased.
"Who are you calling dumb?"
"You. Who else is here? But then again, they say women in love are the dumbest. Huo Wu, are you in love with me? Are you trying to chase me?"
"You… you… chase you?"
Huo Wu's face turned crimson from embarrassment.
Her heart pounded. She was always the one being pursued, so how could she be the one doing the chasing?
In her heart, even if she was pursuing someone, it should be Ye Feng chasing her instead.
"Anything else?" Ye Feng asked.
"No… nothing."
Huo Wu lowered her head. But deep down, she felt like she had gained something today.
"Then I'm leaving," Ye Feng smiled.
He sighed inwardly—no romantic encounter today. Since he hadn't followed Tang San's path, he didn't get the same result.
But it wasn't a complete loss.
Through their conversation, he was now seventy percent sure that Huo Wu liked him.
First dates were usually short since both sides had little to talk about.
Today's meeting was a good start.
Ye Feng was satisfied.
After finishing his words, he turned around and left, walking toward the large parade ground.
Huo Wu stood there, watching as Ye Feng walked several steps away before snapping back to reality.
He's really leaving?
"Ye Feng!" Huo Wu called out anxiously.
She wasn't satisfied yet. She wanted to talk more.
Panicked, she quickly walked toward him.
At that moment, Ye Feng suddenly turned around—
And Huo Wu crashed right into his chest.
"Ah?" Ye Feng was stunned.
"Ah?" Huo Wu was also stunned.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere turned strange.
Huo Wu stared at Ye Feng, her heart racing.
Ever since he defeated her, his figure had been imprinted in her heart.
At first, she didn't understand that feeling.
But now, she knew—
She had fallen for him.
Huo Wu was the first to react.
Standing on her tiptoes, she suddenly pressed her red lips against Ye Feng's face.
"Brother!"
At that moment, Xiao Wu's startled voice rang out.
The scene before her was too shocking.
Huo Wu: "..."
Ye Feng: "..."
Both of them were stunned.
Neither expected Xiao Wu to appear here.
Huo Wu reacted first again.
Her face turned red like a ripe apple.
Realizing something was wrong, she quickly pulled away from Ye Feng's arms.
Looking at Xiao Wu, she felt like a thief caught in the act.
Without another word, she turned and fled.
Before she left, she leaned close to Ye Feng's ear and whispered,
"Actually… us girls do like guys like you—playboys who love women."
