"Sure."
Ling Bai thought for a second and then accepted the confession, as he didn't want to see Ma Xiaotao's clumsy advances, which were as awkward as a Ferrari with a tractor steering wheel -no one could bear it.
"On that night, you helped me suppress the Evil Fire, didn't you?"
"Yeah."
Ling Bai admitted, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. He roughly grasped Ma Xiaotao's purpose, but according to her usual temperament, she didn't seem like the type to lower herself to actively flirt with a man!
Ma Xiaotao rubbed a strand of fiery red hair in her palm, struggling to find the right words to start. After a long pause, she slowly said:
"Ling Bai, thank you for your help. I won't have to worry about the Evil Fire getting out of control for a year. But the Evil Fire originates from the root of my Soul Power, and it will re- emerge after a year, gradually eroding my sanity.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Teacher hopes I can... get into a relationship with you. In the future, we can use the Six- Winged Angel to clear the Evil Fire like last time. Considering your identity, talent, and appearance... we actually match quite well. I was a little convinced by him. He advised me to quickly develop feelings for you and, well, consummate the relationship..."
By the end, Ma Xiaotao's voice was barely audible, only she could hear it. Ling Bai managed to catch every word thanks to his exceptional hearing and by stretching his neck like a giraffe.
To be fair, Yan Shaozhe's plan was brilliant, achieving three goals at once. It solved the long- standing problem of the Phoenix Evil Fire for his beloved disciple Ma Xiaotao, found her an excellent lifelong partner, and most ingeniously, it would bind Ling Bai, a god-level Soul Power user, to Shrek Academy through their marital relationship when Ma Xiaotao eventually inherits Yan Shaozhe's mantle and enters the Sea God Pavilion.
Yan Shaozhe, the old fox.
"Unfortunately, Teacher overlooked one thing. If I were popular with boys, would I be called the 'Inner Academy Volcano'? The Phoenix Fairy would be more fitting!"
Ma Xiaotao covered her burning face with one hand and pounded the wooden bed with the other, causing Ling Bai to wince, fearing the bed might end up with an unnecessary hole.
"Never mind, I don't expect you to be my boyfriend. Besides, you're only eleven, and it wouldn't be right for an old cow to eat young grass." Ma Xiaotao sighed deeply.
"Six."
Ling Bai simply said, glancing at Ma Xiaotao's curvaceous and fiery figure and her stunningly beautiful face. With her looks and figure, it seemed he could consider a relationship, even if it meant a small horse pulling a big cart.
After such an awkward encounter, Ma Xiaotao felt she couldn't stay any longer and muttered, "I'll go back and report to Teacher. You should focus on your cultivation."
"Take care."
Ling Bai politely stood up to see her off. Ma Xiaotao walked to the door, pushed open the golden wooden door, and a gap appeared.
However, as she stepped out of the room, her eyes caught two small figures approaching the Golden Tree.
"Someone's coming!"
Ma Xiaotao reacted quickly, pulling back her body. If Ling Bai hadn't dodged in time, his nose might have crashed into her back of her head.
Ling Bai took a step back and asked, puzzled, "Who? Which Sea God Pavilion elder?"
"Senior Sister! And a young boy."
Ma Xiaotao's face tensed. After all, what she had done today wasn't exactly honorable. Wearing black stockings, high heels, and a sexy short skirt, leaving Ling Bai's room in such a provocative manner, if Zhang Lexuan saw her, she would probably spiral into the sky and be gossiped about by Shrek Academy students for the rest of her life.
"Young boy?"
Ling Bai secretly opened a crack in the door, peering through to see the man walking and chatting with Zhang Lexuan.
Oh, it's Bei Bei!
It makes sense!
"Let me see again!"
Women's natural curiosity kicked in, and Ma Xiaotao squeezed next to Ling Bai, their faces nearly touching, their warm breaths mingling. The ambiguous atmosphere inside and outside the door was equally intense.
"Damn, I recognize that boy. I've seen him hanging out with Xu San Shi a few times. He's quite famous among the Outer Academy students. He actually managed to hook up with
Senior Sister!"
Ma Xiaotao's voice was low but couldn't hide her excitement. Discovering someone else's secret, especially someone as dignified and noble as Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, gave her a thrilling and guilty pleasure.
"Ling Bai, look, look! Senior Sister is smiling so gently! Oh, oh, oh, Senior Sister is reaching out to him! Damn, how can he pretend not to see when a girl takes the initiative to hold hands? Senior Sister is so foolish, after over twenty years, she finally falls for a young man, but she picked a scumbag!"
Ling Bai felt an urge to touch his nose. The more he listened, the more it seemed Ma Xiaotao was indirectly insulting him!
And he finally realized how close they were. A casual glance downward revealed some smooth, round, and magnificent scenery.
"Come back, stop looking."
Ling Bai quickly pulled Ma Xiaotao away, suppressing certain instinctive reactions, and said
seriously:
"Since we've seen this secret, for Senior Sister's reputation, we must keep it to ourselves and not let a third person know."
"Hmph, naturally. There aren't many students in the Inner Academy I respect, and Zhang Lexuan is one of them. I'm just a little curious about what makes that boy so special that he could steal her heart."
Ma Xiaotao sat gracefully on the bed, playing with a strand of hair that fell over her chest, stretching lazily to display her young woman's allure, not hiding her graceful figure. She couldn't help but smile inwardly when Ling Bai averted his gaze, thinking:
So, I'm not without charm after all. If I had really lowered myself to flirt just now, perhaps tonight... No, no, no!
A sudden surge of Evil Fire emerged, but this time it wasn't the Phoenix Evil Fire; it was genuine "Evil Fire." Ma Xiaotao quickly suppressed some chaotic thoughts and changed the
subject:
"If I were to run out and say, 'Senior Sister, you don't want others to know about you and the young boy, right? What do you think the outcome would be?"
Hearing this, Ling Bai's expression turned strange. Don't even say it!
He cleared his throat and said sincerely, "There are probably two outcomes: either you kill
Senior Sister, or she kills you."
Ma Xiaotao: ... You really know how to insult people!
After a brief pause, Ma Xiaotao quickly changed the topic: "I'll stay in your room for a while.
I'll leave after they part ways."
"Sure." Ling Bai agreed.
One sat on the wooden chair, the other half-lying on the bed. The atmosphere remained silent
for a long time before Ma Xiaotao suddenly said:
"Ling Bai, the reason I finally agreed to Teacher's suggestion is that he made a valid point. You are a disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and will leave the academy after graduation to return to your sect. You can only help me temporarily, not permanently.
I want to ask, do you have a way to completely solve the Evil Fire problem?"
