Chapter 142: Please beat me hard!
Ma Xiaotao's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end, and she just murmured with an inexplicable emotion:
"Is that so? It seems that the champion this time should be from Star Luo Royal Academy..."
For some reason, although she clearly felt that her team would fail, Ma Xiaotao didn't feel much loss in her heart, but only a little melancholy, and...
happy?
Yes, it was happy.
When Ma Xiaotao thought about the failure she was about to face, she couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Don't get me wrong, she didn't have any strange Stockholm syndrome. This happy feeling was not caused by her thinking about her failure, but because she thought about those college leaders who made her feel very unhappy.
Ma Xiaotao now hopes that those guys in the reserve team can hold on until the time when they face Star Luo Royal Academy.
If Shrek Academy's countless championships ended in the hands of a student who was forced to drop out of school by them, how would those student leaders feel?
When thinking about that kind of thing, Ma Xiaotao's suppressed emotions during this period seemed to relax a lot.
As for whether this failure would have any impact on her who has always been competitive, Ma Xiaotao said that it would not be at all.
She was not in a very good state because of the matter of the Death Messenger, so even if she lost, it was normal.
The culprits should be those seniors who forced her junior Ling to drop out of school.
If it weren't for them, even if their regular team members were injured, they would have won the championship in this competition in nine out of ten cases.
As for now, Ma Xiaotao thinks that a 10% chance of winning the championship is her respect for the illusory thing of miracles.
"Sister Xiaotao?" Ling Shuang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Ma Xiaotao, who was in a daze for some reason.
Ma Xiaotao suddenly came back to her senses this time.
A touch of excitement appeared on that beautiful face.
She pulled Ling Shuang aside and asked solemnly: "Ling Shuang, can you promise me one thing?"
"Sister Xiaotao, you say." Ling Shuang did not agree immediately.
He and Ma Xiaotao do have a good relationship. If it is not something that has a big impact, he can agree to it, but if it is something that has a big impact, then it is not okay.
After all, what if Ma Xiaotao hopes that he will hold back when he meets the Shrek Academy team?
Ling Shuang will not agree to such a thing. He has already promised for a long time that he will win the championship for Star Luo Royal Academy, and he will not break his promise.
But when Ma Xiaotao made the request, Ling Shuang thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
Ma Xiaotao said solemnly:
"I hope you will not hold back when you meet our academy team, and do your best to defeat us!"
"Ah?!" Ling Shuang was rarely surprised.
It was the first time he heard such a request.
Ling Shuang's tone was a little more concerned, and he covered Ma Xiaotao's smooth and white forehead with his hand: "Sister Xiaotao, are you okay?"
The life force felt the changes in Ma Xiaotao's body. Ling Shuang now particularly suspected that there was something wrong with the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body, which affected Ma Xiaotao's mind.
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Ma Xiaotao would say such a thing.
Feeling the touch on her forehead and the face just in front of her, she could even feel Ling Shuang's breath.
Ma Xiaotao's pretty face flushed slightly. The Phoenix Goddess, who was always carefree, was like a shy little girl at this moment: "I'm fine."
Seeing that Ling Shuang didn't seem to believe it, she could only speak out her little thoughts.
"The college's top management is targeting you, so I thought, if you end the college's consecutive championships, the reactions of those top management will definitely be interesting, so..."
After listening to Ma Xiaotao's words, Ling Shuang finally understood why Ma Xiaotao made such a request.
He was a little confused: "What about you, Sister Xiaotao, don't you care that Shrek's undefeated myth ends here?"
In Ling Shuang's memory, Ma Xiaotao should still be someone who cares a lot about the so-called Shrek glory.
He doesn't know that Ma Xiaotao has long lost her previous filter for Shrek Academy because of a series of things they did.
Now she is willing to represent Shrek Academy in the competition only because of Yan Shaozhe, the teacher who raised her.
Ma Xiaotao curled her lips in disdain: "Why should I care?"
"Although this may be one of the few failures I have, I am not in good shape, and it is not shameful."
"And if I lose to you, I will be very happy."
The scarlet eyes stared at Ling Shuang.
Ma Xiaotao never hides her emotions, just like she took the initiative to confess to Ling Shuang.
Feeling the fiery gaze from the Phoenix Goddess, Ling Shuang tilted his head a little unnaturally.
The matter between Xue Di and Jiang Nannan has not been completely dealt with, and he really has no mind to accept the feelings of another person.
Looking at Ling Shuang's actions, Ma Xiaotao's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she quickly calmed down.
She didn't have much hope in the first place, so the psychological gap was not very big.
Anyway, there is still a long way to go, and she doesn't believe that she can't defeat Ling Shuang.
"Don't worry, if we really meet, I won't hold back."
"Sister Xiaotao, I'm leaving first." Ling Shuang agreed to Ma Xiaotao's request, and then turned and left, with a rather hasty back.
His departing back was reflected in her scarlet eyes, and her red lips like flames slightly raised.
Being able to make Ling Shuang like this, she should be considered to have defeated Ling Shuang in another sense, right?
...
Returning to the team, seeing Ling Shuang coming back, Xu Jiujiu came over: "How is it, which number did you draw?"
"Zhouxi College." Ling Shuang replied.
Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu immediately lost interest.
Before meeting Ling Shuang, because Xu Jiujiu had already decided to represent Star Luo Royal College, the princess had already checked the information of all the participating teams.
Zhouxi College, an ordinary high-level soul master college located in the Dou Spirit Empire, is mediocre in strength, and it is difficult for the princess to be interested at all.
The other members of the Star Luo team were quite satisfied with the result. After all, in their opinion, an easy victory would be the best.
Xu Jiujiu suddenly thought of something and turned to Ling Shuang and asked, "Are you going to play?"
She thought that a college of this level was not worth Ling Shuang's personal participation.
But Ling Shuang nodded, "Well, OK."
He was very cautious. What if a dark horse suddenly appeared in this college?
Ling Shuang didn't want his deal to fail before he even made a move.
In order to ensure that his deal went smoothly, he would play in every game, but it would only take a little more time.
He is a responsible collaborator.
