Chapter 308 - 308 308 Cheng Rong's Request First Update for Votes

308: 308: Cheng Rong’s Request [First Update for Votes] 308: 308: Cheng Rong’s Request [First Update for Votes] Feng, Xue, Bing, Shuang – the four girls barged into the shower room, only to find themselves in an awkward position the next moment.

They saw their eldest sister Mei Ling scrubbing Tang Feng’s back.

After they called out to the two of them, they quickly backed out.

“Are these little girls actually blushing?” Mei Ling noticed that their Primordial Yin was already in disarray and so gave Tang Feng a hard twist.

“Brother Feng, you sure work fast,” Mei Ling said, a hint of sourness in her voice.

“Eh, mainly because they were all sent by you.

I couldn’t just waste your kind intentions,” Tang Feng responded with a face that didn’t turn red and breath that didn’t falter – his skill was quite profound.

Mei Ling was speechless.

“They were just being polite, and look at you, ready to devour everything – how does it taste, huh?”

“Heh, naturally it can’t compare to my Ling’er,” Tang Feng told the truth.

Don’t be fooled by Mei Ling’s cold, lofty, and unapproachable demeanor in front of others; in front of Tang Feng, she was gentle beyond compare, charm fully unleashed.

She was as passionate as one could be.

Frankly, among his official girlfriends, only she and Lin Yunqiu were a match for each other.

Both of them were completely unrestrained, playing high-tech games that always left Tang Feng thoroughly enjoying himself.

However, he wouldn’t become addicted to it.

When it came to that kind of thing, one must stop at the right time, not excessively taking, lest you hurt yourself and others.

When Tang Feng left the villa, he wasn’t sore or aching but instead feeling clear-headed and refreshed.

The Ninth Layer Dao Platform was taking shape, resembling a Yin Yang Altar – it appeared very ancient and weathered.

Tang Feng believed that, in a little while, the Ninth Layer Dao Platform would be fully constructed.

Then the Golden Core would be within reach.

Before leaving, Tang Feng also gave Mei Ling a task: to find out the situation with the Zhao Family.

If they were going to be enemies, then there was no reason for them to exist anymore.

Nowadays, whatever national laws there are, they only apply to the ordinary – they don’t have much effect on Innate Martial Artists who are beyond the law’s reach.

Even less so can they constrain these Cultivators.

In a world where Fierce Beasts roam freely and Spiritual Beasts are everywhere, being able to maintain the operation of the state machinery is no small feat.

At the very least, the Cultivation Alliance was protecting the secular states, but of course those states also had to give up some benefits.

Otherwise, the Cultivation Alliance wouldn’t send people to the various surviving cities.

So, some powerful families could still seek protection from the Cultivation Alliance if they were capable, and the Zhao Family certainly had the means.

Tang Feng wanted to figure out just how strong the Zhao Family was.

Today, as he arrived in the classroom, Tang Feng sensed something strange again – all his classmates were looking at him with all kinds of complicated expressions, as if he had come from another planet.

“So, what’s with the warm reception?

Is there some good news?” Tang Feng joked.

Ha—

“No good news, but Tang Feng, I heard you invited quite a few classmates to the bar last night, and look how many people here haven’t been; when will you take us out for a good time?” one of the students stood up and said.

“No problem, we’ll gather sometime when I find the time,” Tang Feng smiled and said.

“Great, let’s all thank Tang Feng,” they said in chorus.

Qin Siyu shook her head; you guys have the nerve, as if going to a bar doesn’t cost money.

She only thought this to herself, not daring to voice it out loud.

Team Leader Cui asked everyone to settle down.

“Tang Feng, Xiao Li was just kidding; you don’t have to take it seriously.”

“Yeah, going to the bar once would cost so much, and we’re afraid of bumping into those bad people again,” another classmate chimed in.

“Afraid of what?

With Tang Feng here, nothing’s a problem, right?” a male student said with a laugh.

“Alright, he doesn’t owe you anything.

Between classmates, whether to invite or not is his prerogative – how can you even ask?” Ning Xiaoxin couldn’t stand by and watch anymore.

“Pfft, it’s not like you’re Tang Feng; why is it any of your business…” Many of the girls had long found Ning Xiaoxin disagreeable, and naturally, they didn’t forget to belittle her given the chance.

“It’s okay, we’re all classmates after all.

I can still afford to treat you guys once.

Let’s wait until after the college entrance exams are over.

When everyone is relaxed, we’ll have a meal before leaving school,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Long live Tang Feng.”

Ning Xiaoxin watched her classmates speechlessly, not expecting them to be so shameless.

She was different from these people; she knew how tough life could be today and wouldn’t make such a gratuitous request to someone to treat others.

She couldn’t do that.

This also showed that quite a few classmates had the bad habit of taking advantage of others, feeling entitled to what others had experienced as if they were owed it without considering how they had treated Tang Feng before.

Why should he treat them at all?

To put it bluntly, they were not related.

When there were benefits, they remembered they were classmates; when there was nothing to gain, they kept quiet.

Ning Xiaoxin suddenly felt that Tang Feng was even more admirable.

Those people had been blind; such a good man was hard to find in this world, and she had almost misunderstood him too.

After understanding Tang Feng’s situation, she had unconsciously sided with him, an action that was subconscious, and perhaps she didn’t even notice it herself.

“Tang Feng, is it worth it for you to suffer a loss like this?” Ning Xiaoxin still couldn’t help but ask.

“What’s it matter?

After all, we’ve been classmates for three years.

Once everyone steps into society, the time we have to gather will decrease.

Perhaps these three years are the most innocent and memorable times of our lives; why not leave everyone with a beautiful memory?” Tang Feng responded.

“Your heart is really big.

Isn’t it your own money you’re spending?” Ning Xiaoxin rolled her eyes at Tang Feng.

“Heh, how come you’re acting like a nagging wife before you’ve even started dating me?” Tang Feng said with a laugh.

“What are you saying?

I’m looking out for you, you’re annoying,” Ning Xiaoxin blushed.

“Xiao Xin, open your heart a bit, broaden your horizons, and you’ll see that the world becomes a much better place.

The reason I dare to treat them is that I have the capacity to do so.

If I have the capacity, why not do what I can?” Tang Feng said smiling.

“I’m afraid they won’t appreciate it,” Ning Xiaoxin remarked.

“That’s their concern.

As long as I’ve done what I believe is worthwhile, I don’t care about others’ opinions,” Tang Feng replied with an easy smile.

“You really are a fool,” Ning Xiaoxin’s heart fluttered, realizing that such a good man was her desk mate.

“A fool?

I certainly am not.

Actually, most of our classmates are not having an easy time right now.

They just don’t want to admit it, too embarrassed to lower their pride.

Just like the situation in your home, theirs may be even worse.

The canteen has already reduced the portions by half; can’t you see what that implies?”

Ning Xiaoxin nodded, indeed the school canteen’s portions of food had been halved, and it wouldn’t be sustainable for much longer.

However, for the students’ sake, the school was likely enduring a lot of pressure to keep providing food, though it was uncertain how much longer they could continue.

The City Government must be under no small amount of pressure too.

Previously, it was manageable because there were quite a few vegetable gardens in the city, but the supply was far from meeting the demand.

Now, the City Government probably needs to spend several times the amount of money to buy these meats and vegetables, and the pressure on those managing logistics is not small.

Many students were unaware of this pressure, but Ning Xiaoxin was; thus, she refrained from saying more.

Already, quite a few students were dissatisfied with the school canteen, and it was unknown what might happen if this continued.

At that moment, Cheng Rong, who was the new principal for the semester, was overwhelmed with stress.

She hadn’t anticipated encountering such serious problems upon taking office.

The higher authorities had already made clear there would be budget cuts next month.

What to do then?

If the cafeteria raised its prices, would the students understand?

Although they were adults, their thinking was not fully mature, and they could easily act on impulse.

Ah, being a principal might seem glamorous, but it’s a lonely place at the top.

This was the test she must pass to prove her abilities.

If she succeeded, her reputation would grow quickly; if not, she would have to vacate her position.

Having just assumed her role, she naturally wasn’t going to give up that easily.

A woman’s mindset can be peculiar; when faced with unsolvable issues, they often think of the men who have helped them, subconsciously believing that the men are capable of assisting them.

Thus, she personally waited outside Class One’s door for Tang Feng after class.
