In the scorching summer, on the streets of Soto City, the sturdy phoenix trees stand tall on both sides of the road. They seem to have felt the intense heat from the sun, stretching their branches and leaves with great enthusiasm.
In this sweltering season, the girls on the street seem to have donned their summer finery.
Their upper bodies maintain the ladylike dignity and elegance, while their lower bodies daringly choose short skirts to seek a bit of coolness.
Their skirt hems sway gently as they walk, just like flower petals dancing in the breeze. Every step seems to be sowing invisible seeds of temptation.
Those fair legs appear even more crystal - clear in the sunlight, like peerless jade carved by artisans, delicate and smooth, exuding a natural luster, enough to arouse boundless reverie wherever the eyes touch.
They are full of sensuality, making people's minds wander.
If they weren't afraid of getting slapped, many people would be eager to reach out and touch that cool smoothness.
On such a street full of youthful vitality and allure, Ma Hongjun's eyes seem to be too busy to take it all in.
Like a bee discovering fragrant flowers, his gaze is firmly fixed on every passing woman, whether it's the steady charm of a mature woman or the natural charm of young girls.
Ma Hongjun's eyes roam over their bodies. The delicate curves and graceful gaits make him almost forget the time.
He looks greedily, his eyes even trying to penetrate their outer clothes to peek at the mysterious curves hidden beneath the fabric.
The corners of Ma Hongjun's mouth involuntarily drool with longing, and even Dai Mubai next to him notices his overly eager gaze.
He teases Ma Hongjun with a roll of his eyes.
"Fatty, what are you staring at? Didn't you go there last night?"
Ma Hongjun doesn't care at all, with a look of enjoyment and intoxication on his face.
"Yesterday was yesterday, and today is today. It's different."
There is a bit of confusion in Tang San's voice, "Go where?"
"The brothel."
Ma Hongjun answers casually, as if it's just a part of the men's world.
"The brothel, that kind of place." Tang San clicks his tongue in wonder. That's the secret paradise for adult men.
Next to him, Xiao Wu's bright eyes, like those of a curious baby, reflect a puzzled light. Her question is full of innocent childishness.
"What is a brothel?"
Dai Mubai coughs softly, trying to simplify and explain this complex and subtle social phenomenon in the simplest words.
"Uh, it's the kind of place where men pay to relieve their sexual desires."
As soon as she hears this, Xiao Wu immediately frowns, and obvious displeasure shows on her face.
"Pah, pah, pah. I'm telling you, Brother San, you're not allowed to go to that kind of place."
There was a tinge of disgust and a touch of worry in her expression, as if she was imagining the unsavory aspects of that place.
"However, Dai Laohu, since you're so familiar with that brothel, do you often go there?"
The corner of Xiao Wu's mouth curved into a faint, ambiguous smile.
Dai Mubai's hand paused slightly, and a momentary look of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Obviously, Xiao Wu's words caught him off - guard.
He hesitated for a moment, then quickly composed himself and replied,
"Of course... I haven't."
But his tone betrayed him. After a while, he quickly sped up his words and corrected himself,
"My taste is much better than Fatty's."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, as cold as stars, swept over Dai Mubai, as if she could see through everything. She added coldly,
"There's really a big difference between running fifty steps and running a hundred steps."
Under Zhu Zhuqing's gaze and words, Dai Mubai felt an indescribable sense of awkwardness.
His face changed colors, turning red then pale.
Ma Hongjun's eyes, which were rolling around, reflected the allure of the neon lights. With a sly smile, he patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and whispered a seemingly tempting proposal.
"Boss Chen Feng, how about we go to the brothel tonight?"
Chen Feng just shook his head, seemingly not interested at all:
"What's so good about going to a brothel? It's boring."
These words made Ma Hongjun's eyes widen in disbelief.
In his impression, how could a man not be interested in such a seductive place?
This was too exaggerated!
"Did Zhu Zhuqing drain you dry?"
Ma Hongjun winked and took the opportunity to tease.
"Fatty, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Feng's eyes immediately turned sharp. He gave Ma Hongjun a flick on the head without hesitation, sternly stopping him.
"I was wrong, Boss Chen Feng."
Ma Hongjun covered the hit spot on his head and quickly put on a pitiful look.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was beside them, blushed involuntarily when she heard this sudden teasing.
That faint blush was like the last soft glow of the sunset in spring, shy and a bit embarrassed.
A strange imagination quietly rose in her heart, an imagination about Chen Feng, a private fantasy that a girl has about the person she adores.
In Zhu Zhuqing's mind, Chen Feng seemed to transform into a gentle yet domineering conqueror, and she was the little woman who was about to be doted on, cared for, and perhaps, slightly... something.
She imagined how Chen Feng would... do that to her, maybe gently, maybe passionately.
All kinds of positions.
Would it break?
This thought made Zhu Zhuqing feel both ashamed and excited.
Her little head was like a steam - filled pot, steaming up, just like a steampunk girl.
...
As the dawn gradually rose, the sunlight, like golden silk satin, slowly spread across the broad playground. Every inch of the ground was dyed with a warm golden glow.
Suddenly, a rather sharp and out - of - place figure slowly stepped onto this golden stage, immediately becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
The whispers of the students were as hazy as a drizzle. They were curious about this unexpected situation, followed by a burst of suppressed giggles, but no one dared to laugh out loud.
Zhao Wuji's face bore obvious signs of battle. At least three bruises had not faded yet, especially the prominent black eye under his left eye, which resembled a chubby panda's eye and was almost unbearable to look at.
Tang San and the other seven students were also taken aback. Their hearts were filled with 疑惑,not understanding why Zhao Wuji was in such a state.
In their memory, although Zhao Wuji had been rather in a mess at the hands of Chen Feng last time, he didn't seem to be as miserable as he was today.
Only Chen Feng, standing aside, couldn't help but let a smile curl up at the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, only he knew exactly what lay behind this.
The fists and kicks of Sword Douluo were no joke.
Feeling the strange gazes around him, Zhao Wuji angrily snapped in a deep voice:
"What are you looking at?
"Are you brats itching for a beating?"
Hearing the address "brats", Xiao Wu's face showed a bit of displeasure. She mumbled, "Why not say blind bear cub?"
Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Wu really was like a rabbit.
