I've Contributed to the Academy, I've Bled for the Academy!

Forest white cold qi pervaded, a huge piece of floating ice drifted on Sea God Lake. Even though it was the hottest part of summer, it couldn't block the bone-chilling cold.

In the center of the ice layer, there was a hole large enough for two people, and two figures were tightly embracing each other within it.

Compared to Xu Sanshi, who had the Mystic Turtle with his water and earth dual-attribute spirit to solve the Evil Fire problem, Moyuan's Spirit of Ice, the Emperor, with its near Extreme Ice cold, was like a gentle and effective medicinal herb for clearing heat and detoxifying.

Ma Xiaotao, whose Evil Fire was suppressed, felt instantly relieved. She looked at the handsome youth she was holding tightly in her arms, gazing at those shining Golden Eyes. The flush on her face didn't recede; instead, it became even more pronounced.

Since her spirit awakened, the Evil Fire Phoenix had given her talent that was arguably the best in the Inner Court, but it had also tormented her with Evil Fire for twelve years, bringing her to the brink of collapse countless times due to the pain.

Ma Xiaotao's teacher, Yan Shaozhe, had once offered a solution, but she had rejected it without a second thought.

The best solution for the Evil Fire generated by the Evil Fire Phoenix was to vent it through the Great Dao of Yin and Yang.

Her ancestor, Ma Hongjun, was male, so he naturally had no qualms about this method. He even felt it wasn't enough.

But for a proud female genius like her, 'discussing the Great Dao' with anyone other than her beloved was worse than death.

However, looking at Moyuan, a genius junior brother who, with his four-ring Soul Ancestor strength, had surpassed her by twenty levels, a thought suddenly surfaced in Ma Xiaotao's heart.

If it were him, it seemed there was nothing she couldn't accept...

Thinking this, with the Evil Fire suppressed by the extreme cold and her body feeling light, the long-accumulated fatigue within Ma Xiaotao erupted. Her eyelids felt as if they were filled with lead, and she couldn't stop them from sinking.

Her beautiful eyes, with a hint of charm, cast one last glance at Moyuan, who was still injecting cold qi into her body. Ma Xiaotao's moist red lips moved slightly.

"Tha... Thank you..."

With that, she closed her eyes, tilted her head, and collapsed into Moyuan's arms, falling into a deep sleep.

"Six, you've made such a mess, and you just fall asleep, leaving me to deal with it all?"

Although he said this, when Ma Xiaotao's body was about to collapse as she slept, Moyuan still reached out to support her, lifting her up by her waist and legs. Ma Xiaotao's arms instinctively wrapped around his neck.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao sleeping in his arms, Moyuan had to admit that with the smooth touch from her body, her fair and slender legs, her ample bosom, and her face that could be called peerless, Ma Xiaotao was definitely a perfect woman.

Of course, this didn't include her personality.

A tigress might be tamed, but a live volcano could only be made to erupt; there was no other way...

A gentle summer breeze swept across Sea God Lake, carrying wisps of forest white cold qi rising from the cold. In the center of the floating ice, which made one tremble just by approaching it, The hard ice layer suddenly melted like butter encountering a hot knife, revealing a dark hole in an instant. Crisp footsteps could be heard from within.

Then, Moyuan walked out into the open, carrying the sleeping Ma Xiaotao.

Because Ma Xiaotao's clothes were torn to shreds by herself, Moyuan took off his school uniform and put it on her.

Anyone who didn't know the preceding events would likely have their minds wander into inappropriate territory upon seeing this scene.

The sky-filling rain of fire that descended from the heavens had ceased, and the furiously raging hurricane had also vanished without a trace. If not for witnessing it firsthand, no one would have believed that a fire dragon roll, connecting heaven and earth, had been here just moments ago.

In that battle, Moyuan had used almost his full strength, excluding his Alchemy and Blood Burst techniques. His stamina was nearly depleted, and his soul power was at rock bottom.

Even then, he had barely managed to subdue Ma Xiaotao, who had lost her mind and unleashed her evil fire without using her sixth soul skill. If he had to fight her again when she recovered to her peak, Moyuan wouldn't be confident in defeating her.

And this was just the first day of Moyuan's enrollment, and he had already encountered such a trick. If this kind of thing happened every few days, life would be unbearable.

"No one's out yet? Could something have happened at Shrek Academy?" Moyuan looked around, but saw no one. A bad premonition surfaced in his mind.

Just then, a clear cough suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Cough, cough."

Hearing the sound, Moyuan's eyes sharpened. Years of living alone had honed his vigilance, causing him to instantly retreat while holding Ma Xiaotao, and turn to face the person behind him.

The moment he regained his footing, a figure came into view. It was a white-robed middle-aged man, handsome with an elegant demeanor. His hair was neatly combed, and his entire being exuded a bright aura that Moyuan found displeasing.

Seeing the man's full appearance, Moyuan immediately relaxed, but remained silent.

Although he could guess that this show-off must hold a high position in the academy, he wasn't without his own temper. He could figure out with his toes that this guy had been watching the entire time.

Only after he had tired himself out and resolved everything did this guy show up. It would be strange if Moyuan had a good attitude now.

"Hello, classmate."

Yan Shaozhe wasn't angered by Moyuan's cold attitude. He was young, and it was normal to be upset when encountering such a situation. A gentle smile appeared on his face, his eyes sincere.

"I am Yan Shaozhe, the Headmaster of the academy's Spirit System. Ma Xiaotao, whom you are holding, is my personal disciple. Due to her spirit, she has always been troubled by evil fire. This incident was caused by that."

"However, I've been busy with affairs recently and couldn't attend to her, which led to Xiao Tao losing control. But thanks to a genius like you, classmate, you were able to prevent Xiao Tao from making a grave mistake. How are you? Are you injured?"

Looking at Yan Shaozhe, whose face seemed to be written with 'sincerity,' Moyuan raised an eyebrow. Old man, you're playing this game, huh? Fine, you act, and I'll act too...

Then, the indifferent expression on Moyuan's face suddenly changed. His tone became extremely sincere as he feigned a weak cough.

"Cough, cough... I'm injured, very seriously injured..."

"You're not injured... Huh?" Yan Shaozhe was taken aback. The prepared speech in his mouth suddenly had nowhere to go.

However, just as he was mentally complaining that Moyuan was trying to scam him and play along, he heard Moyuan suddenly speak again.

"But I don't care. As a student of Shrek Academy, when an Inner Court Senior Sister is in trouble and no one from the Inner Court steps forward, it is our duty to help her with all our might, even if we are severely injured!"

Moyuan's words, both in tone and attitude, were extremely sincere and righteous. He was the perfect model student, wholeheartedly dedicated to the academy.

Yan Shaozhe's face twitched slightly. As an old fox who was over a hundred years old, he could clearly tell that Moyuan was sarcastically implying that he hadn't acted sooner to help.

"Classmate, actually..."

"Teacher, you don't need to say more. I don't need any compensation. Even if it was because I desperately held back Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao from destroying the Outer Court, saving the academy from heavy losses, it's all what I should do!"

"Teacher, don't worry, I absolutely won't speak of the merits I've earned for the academy, or the blood I've shed for it! This is all what I should do, and I absolutely don't need any compensation!"

As Moyuan said the last sentence, his tone was extremely heavy, almost word by word, gritting his teeth, as if afraid Yan Shaozhe wouldn't understand his sarcasm.

The more Yan Shaozhe listened, the darker his face became. "You little brat, I thought you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were still a good kid. Turns out you're playing this game with me?"

"Do you really think I didn't see you acting like a normal person, full of life, after I suppressed my disciple's evil fire?"
