At this time, Lin Yu was cultivating his Soul Power in the dormitory as usual.

After enrolling at Shrek Academy, Lin Yu proceeded step by step, cultivating his Soul Power and attending classes every day, just like an ordinary student who had come to Shrek Academy to study.

According to his original plan, this was all for show in front of those Titled Douluo from the Sea God Pavilion led by Yan Shaozhe, making it impossible for them to figure out Lin Yu's purpose and leaving them utterly confused.

In reality, Lin Yu remained firmly in control, waiting all along for Ma Xiaotao to appear.

Tonight, under the dark and windy sky, a red figure wreathed in flames had already flown above Lin Yu's dormitory. Her large, round eyes gleamed brightly.

"Haha, she really came," Snow Empress said with a laugh.

Lin Yu said, "She did. I need to prepare to be attacked. Snow Empress, don't intervene when she makes her move later."

Snow Empress was puzzled. "She needs your help. Would she still attack you?"

"Of course. Ma Xiaotao definitely wasn't permitted by Yan Shaozhe to come here tonight, so she sneaked out. The moment Yan Shaozhe discovers she's gone, he'll immediately come looking for me."

"Ma Xiaotao must have thought of that too. That's why she'll kidnap me and take me somewhere else as soon as she arrives, so Yan Shaozhe can't find me."

"But she can't make too much noise. She needs to do it without anyone noticing. Something polite like entering through the main door is definitely out of the question for her."

"She'll most likely choose the dormitory window to get in."

"Oh, the dormitory window is closed right now. She may be hesitating. To make things more convenient for her, we'd better open it."

As he explained, Lin Yu opened the tightly shut dormitory window.

The moment he opened it, the red streak in the sky immediately plummeted down, accompanied by a delighted voice. "How could there be such a perfect opportunity? Junior Brother Lin Yu has delivered himself right to my door."

Ma Xiaotao had been flying around in the sky just now, worrying that she had no way to break in.

Who would have thought she would see Junior Brother Lin Yu open the window himself, apparently finding the room too stuffy and wanting to let in some fresh air?

Ma Xiaotao couldn't stop smiling. She had searched everywhere for what she wanted, only to find it without any effort at all.

She swooped straight down, her Soul Emperor aura astonishing.

At that moment, Lin Yu, who had only just reached level twenty and was merely a Soul Grandmaster, saw this scene and uncontrollably revealed an expression of "astonishment."

He then frantically "fumbled" around, hurriedly trying to summon the Heaven Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul, but he had acted too hastily and failed.

Every movement was flawless. His performance was perfect.

Snow Empress praised him when she saw this. "You're acting again, but you really are good at it."

Ma Xiaotao had no idea what was really happening. She was still delighted by the performance of this little lamb, Lin Yu. He was simply helpless against her.

As soon as she landed, she easily subdued Lin Yu and covered his mouth to stop him from making a sound.

Ma Xiaotao said with great interest, "Junior Brother Lin Yu, I'm your senior sister, Ma Xiaotao. Don't worry, I mean you no harm. I just want you to help me with something and come outside with me for a while."

Ma Xiaotao, Ma Xiaotao, who asks someone for help by kidnapping them? If I didn't know you, I'd be struggling for my life right now.

Even so, Lin Yu still had to put on an act. He widened his eyes and revealed fear, struggling in a convincing manner.

Ma Xiaotao was extremely satisfied by this. She had no experience with kidnapping people, since it was her first time, but the effect was clearly excellent. She was truly gifted at playing the villain.

She immediately carried Lin Yu out of the building, then flew out of Shrek Academy and continued far away, finally reaching the shore outside Shrek City.

Under the moonlight, on the white beach, Ma Xiaotao released the hand covering Lin Yu's mouth. She was enjoying herself so much as a villain that she even teased him. "Junior Brother Lin Yu, there's no one here. Even if you run now, you won't get anywhere. Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will hear you."

Ma Xiaotao couldn't stop laughing, trying to put on the appearance of a villain.

Lin Yu immediately looked nervous, but inwardly he was utterly calm: What can a little girl like you do to me? Don't you know that all of this was intentional on my part?

Snow Empress said, "Ma Xiaotao is too innocent. She doesn't even know she's been deceived. But you're also far too deceptive. Anyone who came up against you would fall into your trap."

Lin Yu possessed acting skills beyond the ordinary. Under Ma Xiaotao's intimidation, his entire face was written with fear, and even his voice trembled uncontrollably. "Who are you? Why did you kidnap me and bring me here? What do you want to do to me?"

Ma Xiaotao became even more delighted. Lin Yu seemed like a pure white lamb that was easy to bully. She giggled, "Junior Brother Lin Yu, I'm your senior sister. But that's inside the academy, where everyone has to follow the rules. Outside the academy, you'll get to see my naughty side."

She approached him, forcing Lin Yu to retreat again and again until his back hit the city wall.

Then Ma Xiaotao placed one hand against the wall, pinning Lin Yu there. She wore an extremely pleased smile.

Lin Yu put on the appearance of a victim.

Ma Xiaotao laughed. "I won't toy with you anymore, Junior Brother Lin Yu. Actually, I need your help with something."

Only after Ma Xiaotao gave him a serious explanation did Lin Yu gradually put away his nervous, frightened expression. "So, Senior Sister, your Martial Soul has evil fire, and you need my Ultimate Ice Martial Soul to suppress it."

Ma Xiaotao said bitterly, "That's right. My Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul possesses evil fire, which has been acting up frequently and can easily make me go berserk and lose control. We've tried many methods, but they only treated the symptoms and not the root cause. In the end, we discovered that to truly suppress the evil fire, we needed the one and only Ultimate Ice Martial Soul in the world."

"And recently, I heard that you possess the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, so I couldn't help coming to find you."

"Kidnapping you tonight wasn't my intention either. I only did it because I had no other choice. Please forgive me."

Although Ma Xiaotao acted recklessly, she wasn't bad at heart. As a Soul Emperor, she was even willing to apologize to a Soul Grandmaster like Lin Yu, an apologetic expression written across her face.

Lin Yu put on an expression as if he were gradually learning the truth. With an innocent look, he said, "Since you have your reasons, Senior Sister, it's not as if I can't help you."

But inwardly, Lin Yu smiled: She finally took the bait.

Snow Empress, in his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, also laughed. "After pretending for several days, we've finally reached this point. Use the Starry Express to draw up a contract for her now, then use that Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to completely resolve her evil-fire problem."

In Snow Empress's view, this was an excellent opportunity to sign a contract with Ma Xiaotao.

After all, compared with suppressing the evil fire with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, using the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to eliminate the evil fire of Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul in one stroke would naturally be much faster.

After suffering for years from the torment of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao would certainly agree without hesitation if she heard that signing a contract could solve her problem once and for all. But just as Snow Empress thought Lin Yu was about to do that, Lin Yu revealed a meaningful smile. "Snow Empress, it's still too early to sign a contract."
