He Seems Able to Suppress My Martial Soul

Ma Xiaotao didn't close the bathroom door tightly while bathing.

On one hand, her fearsome reputation in the inner court was well-known, so no one would dare break into her room. On the other hand, she was worried Lu Heqiu might fall outside, so she needed to occasionally listen for sounds from him.

But she never expected.

This bathroom door, which she thought no one would approach.

Would be gently pushed open by Lu Heqiu at this very moment.

Ma Xiaotao was startled.

She absolutely didn't expect Lu Heqiu to crawl to her door, let alone push open the bathroom door!

Ma Xiaotao's pupils widened, staring at Lu Heqiu at the bathroom door, unable to speak for a long time. She wasn't keen on finding a partner, and she certainly didn't expect someone to suddenly enter the bathroom while she was bathing.

The most crucial point was...

The infant she personally brought back was the one witnessing this scene!?

"You! You you you!"

"So young and already so..."

Before Ma Xiaotao could finish speaking, she saw the little guy crawling at the door raise the milk bottle in his hand. He had dragged the bottle over himself. The bottle, which should have been enough for him to drink for a while, was now completely empty.

Not a drop left.

"Finished eating?"

Ma Xiaotao casually grabbed the bath towel that was laid out, quickly covering her delicate body, and walked quickly towards Lu Heqiu. She looked at the milk bottle in Lu Heqiu's hand with disbelief.

The people from the Soul Tool Department had clearly told her that even if it were regular milk, this little guy wouldn't be able to finish it, let alone the beast milk of a Hundred-Year Saber-toothed Tiger!

Lu Heqiu lay there, his gaze fixed on the milk bottle Ma Xiaotao had just taken.

He didn't mean to crawl over.

Currently, besides controlling his eyes, he could only control the amount of strength.

Those strange movements were merely instincts inherent to an infant of this age.

The reason his body crawled over.

Was because this body was not full at all.

Ma Xiaotao was the one who fed him beast milk, so he assumed approaching Ma Xiaotao would lead to food. After finishing, he instinctively crawled towards the bathroom, wanting more food.

"Alright, I'll feed you a bit more. It seems your appetite is indeed much larger than that of ordinary people."

Ma Xiaotao muttered, picking up Lu Heqiu, who was lying on the ground, and carrying him towards the bed. The milk bottle, which Lu Heqiu had emptied, was refilled with a little less than half a bottle of beast milk. In her opinion, even with his large appetite, this should be enough.

Lu Heqiu took the milk bottle again, his entire body suddenly relaxed, and he began to enjoy the food.

Ma Xiaotao didn't rush back to the bathroom. Instead, she kept her eyes fixed on the bottle, wanting to ensure Lu Heqiu had eaten his fill before returning. Otherwise, if Lu Heqiu pushed open her bathroom door again, she would see things she shouldn't.

"Still want more?"

Ma Xiaotao looked at the milk bottle that had become empty again. She understood his thoughts from Lu Heqiu's eyes. Ma Xiaotao couldn't imagine how a six-month-old infant could drink so much.

Even she couldn't drink the two bottles of beast milk Lu Heqiu had just consumed.

But Lu Heqiu raised his little hand again, and she could only pour and heat more milk for him.

The beast milk that Gong Changlong had estimated would last for several days was more than half consumed by Lu Heqiu in just one meal, leaving Ma Xiaotao dumbfounded. If Lu Heqiu hadn't been in good condition, she would have truly worried about him.

"You... can really digest it?"

Ma Xiaotao asked Lu Heqiu uncertainly. The question sounded more like she was asking herself. How could this young Lu Heqiu speak?

This was indeed her first time taking care of a child.

Even how much a child could eat was something she had learned from the Soul Tool Department. But Lu Heqiu wasn't following any conventional rules, which made her feel a bit lost.

Such a large amount... was Lu Heqiu really okay?

Lu Heqiu lay there, his eyelids slowly closing again, and he began to snore softly. Only then did Ma Xiaotao's worried heart relax. She picked up her clothes again and walked towards the bathroom.

The bathroom door remained open while Ma Xiaotao washed up. She wanted to constantly listen for Lu Heqiu's movements. If anything seemed wrong, she could hold Lu Heqiu and rush to the inner court to seek help from a teacher.

But her worries were clearly excessive.

Lu Heqiu slept soundly on her bed, with a milky fragrance lingering around his lips.

Lu Heqiu didn't wake up until she finished bathing, which finally put her mind at ease. She gently tickled Lu Heqiu's soft nose before lying down beside him.

She had originally planned to cultivate tonight, but after returning from the Star Dou Great Forest and the exhaustion of taking care of Lu Heqiu, she immediately gave up the idea of continuing her cultivation.

Sleeping for one night wouldn't hinder her progress much.

Ma Xiaotao, wearing a thin nightgown, lay down beside Lu Heqiu. For some reason, she slept very peacefully, with almost no disturbing dreams.

It wasn't until she felt a slight abnormality in her body early in the morning that Ma Xiaotao slowly opened her eyes. As soon as her slightly rosy eyes opened, she found Lu Heqiu lying on her chest, sucking on a spot that bore a striking resemblance to a milk bottle.

"Ah!"

Ma Xiaotao screamed and quickly pulled Lu Heqiu off her body, her entire face turning crimson. If she hadn't retained a sliver of reason at that moment, she would have thrown the little guy out immediately!

Ma Xiaotao held Lu Heqiu with one hand, but the entire body still tried to move forward a few times, expressing its dissatisfaction.

"You this fellow!"

"Don't you dare follow me anymore!"

Ma Xiaotao placed him by the bed, poured the remaining beast milk from last night into a milk bottle, stuffed it into Lu Heqiu's mouth, then quickly got up to change clothes. For her, taking care of this little guy was more tiring than cultivating.

No matter what, this little guy had to be sent away today!

She absolutely wouldn't be a nanny anymore!

But after taking just a few steps, Ma Xiaotao froze in place. She hadn't noticed it at first, but after putting a dozen meters between herself and Lu Heqiu, the hidden evil fire within her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul suddenly surged, threatening to consume her reason.

She had used her powers quite a bit in the Star Dou Great Forest this time. According to her usual practice, after returning, she would need to find an elder from the Sea God Pavilion or a Titled Douluo to help suppress it.

However, this time she had picked up an infant, and the evil fire within her hadn't changed, so she hadn't bothered with it, choosing instead to deal with Lu Heqiu's affairs first.

But she never expected...

That the evil fire would surge again at this moment.

It caught her somewhat off guard.

What to do?!

Ma Xiaotao became a little dazed. Instinctively, she wanted to fly out to find Cai Meier, but seeing Lu Heqiu lying there all alone, her heart softened considerably, and she quickly walked back towards him.

The evil fire within her body changed again, but this time it wasn't surging.

Instead...

It was being suppressed!?
