But after only a momentary daze, Lin Yu returned to normal.
The blizzard around them came to a stop, and Lin Yu's Soul Power was exhausted. He leaned against the city wall, gasping heavily as he looked at Ma Xiaotao. "Sister Xiaotao, do you know what you just did to me?"
Ma Xiaotao had already lost control earlier. Now that her Evil Fire had been suppressed, she finally recalled that she had done something extremely savage.
A look of shock appeared on her face, and she hurried over to support Lin Yu.
"Junior Brother Lin Yu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I couldn't control myself just now."
Lin Yu also knew that Ma Xiaotao had gone berserk after losing control. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, how could an unmarried young woman suddenly embrace and cling to a strange man?
But he couldn't let the matter end so easily. Lin Yu put on a wounded expression. "Sister Xiaotao, you hurt me so deeply."
Ma Xiaotao immediately became nervous. "Junior Brother Lin Yu, where are you hurt? Tell me quickly."
Lin Yu said, "My fragile heart has been hurt."
Ma Xiaotao: "..."
When Lin Yu saw that Ma Xiaotao showed no reaction, he immediately put on a pitiful expression. "Let's forget about it next time. You can hurt me so easily by accident. How could that be acceptable?"
"I couldn't even put up a little resistance. In the end, the gap between our Soul Power levels is simply too great."
He looked as aggrieved as possible, wearing an expression of lingering fear.
When Ma Xiaotao saw that Lin Yu intended to back out, she immediately panicked. "Junior Brother Lin Yu, don't say that. This time was just an accident. The gap between our Soul Power levels isn't that great."
Lin Yu said, "We're more than forty levels apart. How is that not great?"
Seeing that Lin Yu was about to leave, Ma Xiaotao panicked and stammered, "More than forty levels sounds like a lot, but it can actually be reduced. Don't you already have a Mysterious Water Pill and a Soul Ascension Pill?"
"After taking them, you can rise another three levels."
Lin Yu said, "Only three levels? How could that be enough? I can't resist you at all. Forget it, Sister Xiaotao. Until we meet again." He wore a hesitant expression, as if he were about to leave.
Ma Xiaotao finally couldn't hold back. "Junior Brother Lin Yu, wait. I can help you rise a few more levels. Actually, I still have a few Mysterious Water Pills."
Lin Yu stopped and looked at Ma Xiaotao. "Really? Where are your Mysterious Water Pills?"
Ma Xiaotao said, "Wait until I go back. I'll bring them to you next time. Once your level rises, you won't have to be afraid anymore."
She forced out a dry smile, but in truth, she no longer had any Mysterious Water Pills. Mysterious Water Pills were worth a fortune. How could something like that be so easy to obtain?
But although she didn't have any herself, that didn't mean she couldn't find a way to get some from someone else.
Only after Ma Xiaotao begged him repeatedly did Lin Yu finally agree.
In Lin Yu's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, Snow Empress said indignantly, "She doesn't have any Mysterious Water Pills left. Why did you agree anyway?"
Lin Yu said, "Snow Empress, I'll explain everything to you slowly after we return. My back and waist are aching right now, and I feel really uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Snow Empress immediately became worried. "Are you hurt anywhere? I possessed your body just now. Could that have placed too much strain on it?"
But Lin Yu actually felt no discomfort at all. He only sensed that Snow Empress's emotions were off, so he changed the subject.
Afterward, Ma Xiaotao flew back to Shrek Academy with Lin Yu. As luck would have it, they ran into Yan Shaozhe, who had come looking for her.
At that moment, when Yan Shaozhe saw Ma Xiaotao returning with Lin Yu, a pained expression of This is bad appeared on his face, as if Ma Xiaotao had already fallen into some kind of trap.
Ma Xiaotao also looked dejected and didn't dare face Yan Shaozhe alone. After dropping Lin Yu off at the dormitory, she quickly tried to slip away.
But Yan Shaozhe still caught up with her in the air. With a sigh, he said, "This is bad, this is bad. You've already come into contact with him. I have a strong feeling that you're going to fall for that brat."
Ma Xiaotao looked relieved. "Teacher, actually, he almost fell into my hands. I nearly forced himself on him just now."
Ma Xiaotao described how she had lost control, and Yan Shaozhe immediately frowned when he heard it. "So that brat was actually innocent. But his Ultimate Ice is surprisingly effective. It can suppress your Phoenix Evil Fire."
The moment this came up, Ma Xiaotao beamed. "That's right, that's right, Teacher. His Ultimate Ice is amazing. After my Phoenix Evil Fire was suppressed, I don't feel any burden at all."
"This is the first time in all these years. I feel so free now."
Ma Xiaotao excitedly flapped her wings and flew back and forth, her Soul Power completely unobstructed.
Yan Shaozhe was also amazed. "Ultimate Ice truly is extraordinary."
Ma Xiaotao smiled brilliantly. "My Evil Fire melted like snow and ice when it encountered his Ultimate Ice. Isn't that wonderful?"
Then she seemed to recall something and stretched out her hand toward Yan Shaozhe. "Teacher, do you have any Mysterious Water Pills left? Give me a few more."
Yan Shaozhe said, "Mysterious Water Pills cleanse the meridians and marrow while increasing the Innate Soul Power of a martial soul. But you've already reached the maximum level. What do you need them for?"
Ma Xiaotao smiled. "Of course they're useful."
Ma Xiaotao was the most talented person in Shrek Academy, and Yan Shaozhe usually doted on her. Thus, without asking any further questions, he took out a medicine box.
"Here you go."
"There's another Mysterious Water Pill. I can give it to Junior Brother Lin Yu."
Ma Xiaotao opened the medicine box after receiving it, her face filled with delight.
Yan Shaozhe staggered in midair and nearly fell. "You wanted the Mysterious Water Pill to give to that brat?"
Ma Xiaotao looked at him with pity. "Yes. Junior Brother Lin Yu is only at Soul Power level twenty, and the gap between our levels is enormous. It's easy for me to hurt him. It would be much better if I gave him a Mysterious Water Pill to raise his Soul Power."
Although this was what Lin Yu had asked for, he had acted so pitiful that Ma Xiaotao also felt that she ought to help raise his Soul Power.
Ma Xiaotao's face was full of pity.
Yan Shaozhe let out an "Uh," not knowing what had happened between Ma Xiaotao and Lin Yu that night. Why did Ma Xiaotao look as if her entire heart had been led away?
He suddenly had an ominous feeling. That brat didn't look like a good person, and his purpose at Shrek Academy still hadn't been figured out.
Allowing Ma Xiaotao to come into contact with that brat so casually would definitely cause major problems in the future.
But Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire was also a hidden danger, and it needed that brat's Ultimate Ice to suppress it.
For a moment, Yan Shaozhe was so troubled that his head hurt. He actually had no idea what to do with Lin Yu.
"I'm the dignified dean of the Martial Soul Department. Why am I so troubled over a new student?"
But there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as Ma Xiaotao flew back excitedly to find Lin Yu after obtaining the Mysterious Water Pill.
This is bad. Why does it look as if my disciple is about to be lost?
At that moment, inside the room, Lin Yu was explaining to Snow Empress why he had done all this.
Snow Empress was utterly astonished. "Oh my heavens, so Ma Xiaotao was only bait. The ones you really wanted to hook were those Titled Douluo from the Sea God Pavilion?"
