Ultimate Ice Suppresses Evil Fire; Sister Xiaotao Throws Herself into His Arms

The moment the stone door closed, the temperature inside the cultivation room suddenly rose several degrees.

Dai Huabin turned around and saw that Ma Xiaotao's condition had worsened even more than before. She was sitting cross-legged on the futon, her hands supporting her knees, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her breathing was rapid and shallow.

"Stay calm first." Dai Huabin walked over and sat cross-legged on the futon opposite her. "Face to face, regulate your breathing."

Ma Xiaotao looked up at him.

The flames in her red eyes flickered more intensely than before, her pupils slightly unfocused, carrying an indescribable sense of bewilderment. Her lips parted slightly, and her tongue, tinged with red, could be seen in her panting breaths.

Dai Huabin frowned.

The surge of Evil Fire had a greater impact on his emotions than he had anticipated.

Ma Xiaotao's current state is less one of pain and more one of euphoria.

The evil Evil Fire of the Evil Fire Phoenix is essentially an extreme form of yang energy. When it gets out of control, it stimulates all the senses, amplifies desires, and weakens reason.

"Huabin..."

Ma Xiaotao's voice carried a hint of charm, completely different from her usual carefree and outspoken senior.

"Hurry up... I'm so hot..."

"Okay, don't move yet."

Dai Huabin began to mobilize the Ultimate Ice Soul Power within his body, preparing to use the released cold air to cool her down.

However, just as he began to circulate his Soul Power, before he could even unleash it, Ma Xiaotao pounced on him.

She wrapped her arms around Dai Huabin's neck and pressed her whole body against him. His burning body temperature came through his clothes, like hugging a human furnace.

"Senior!"

"It's so cold... so cold..." Ma Xiaotao buried her face in the crook of his shoulder, greedily absorbing the chill emanating from him.

"Don't push me away, let me... let me catch my breath."

Dai Huabin froze for a moment.

Ma Xiaotao's body was pressed tightly against his, her slender and fiery figure burning hot.

Her breath sprayed onto the side of his neck, hot and rapid, carrying a faint caramel scent—the unique aroma of overflowing Evil Fire.

Well, it seems we can't proceed as planned now.

Dai Huabin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He immediately activated the Ultimate Ice Soul Power within his body, using himself as a medium to release cold air outwards.

An icy blue light emerged from his body, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Ma Xiaotao tightened her grip on his arm and let out a comfortable sigh.

The chill seeped into her skin through the contact surface, like a bucket of cold water being poured over a red-hot iron, making a sizzling sound.

After a dozen seconds, Ma Xiaotao's breathing finally calmed down a bit.

Her body stopped trembling, and her shoulders relaxed. The flames in her red eyes subsided, and her pupils refocused.

Ma Xiaotao also became much more sober.

She found herself clinging to Dai Huabin like a koala, her arms wrapped around his neck, her face pressed against his shoulders, and her chest pressed tightly against his chest.

Ma Xiaotao's face turned even redder, but this time it wasn't from Evil Fire, but from a subconscious action she had taken.

But she didn't let go. Ma Xiaotao clearly realized how outrageous her posture was, with her arms wrapped around her junior's neck, her whole body pressed against him, and her chest pressing against him.

Normally, Ma Xiaotao would never have done something like this.

But now, never mind, it's all the fault of that Evil Fire.

Ma Xiaotao found a way to save face in her mind.

It's true that her Evil Fire affected her emotions. It's also true that she was out of control just now. So it's not her fault, nor is it Huabin's fault.

Yes, that's right.

She buried her face even closer to Dai Huabin's shoulder, savoring the bone-chilling coolness.

Dai Huabin's body temperature was low, not the uncomfortable cold, but a just-right coolness.

Ma Xiaotao's heartbeat gradually calmed down, but she had no intention of letting go.

Anyway, he didn't push me away.

The moment this thought crossed her mind, Ma Xiaotao's ears burned again.

She's a level 67 Soul Emperor, the captain of the Inner Academy, and a core member of the Shrek Seven Devils. She usually roams the Inner Academy with an air of superiority; everyone who sees her calls her "Sister Xiaotao Tao" with utmost respect. When has she ever been so servile?

But strangely, the aura emanating from this junior made her completely calm down.

This is not just the suppressive effect of Ultimate Ice, but also a feeling of being protected.

Ma Xiaotao cursed herself inwardly, "Wake up, you're the senior."

Then she continued to hold on without moving.

"Senior," Dai Huabin's voice came from above, calm and restrained, "How are you feeling right now?"

"Hmm... much better," Ma Xiaotao mumbled, her voice muffled on his shoulder. "Let me rest a little longer."

Dai Huabin didn't say much.

He could sense that although the Evil Fire in Ma Xiaotao's body had been suppressed to some extent, the root cause was still there. Simply releasing cold air through skin contact could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

We need to use Ice Jade Scorpion Tail.

"Senior, I'm about to officially begin suppressing it." Dai Huabin's tone was calm. "It might sting a little, please bear with it."

Ma Xiaotao hummed in agreement.

The next instant, she felt something stretch out from Dai Huabin's tailbone.

A scorpion tail, entirely emerald green with an icy blue sheen, emerged from behind him, its stinger tip gleaming with a cold, silvery light.

The Ice Jade Scorpion Tail, with External Soul Bone 100,000 years.

Before Ma Xiaotao could react, the scorpion's tail had already pierced precisely below her neck, right in the center of her collarbone.

"Hiss!"

Ma Xiaotao gasped, her body instinctively tensing up.

The sting lasted for less than a second.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely pure and icy power flowed into her meridians through the scorpion's tail.

The power didn't pour in violently, but rather seeped in like a trickle, slowly spreading along her meridian network. Wherever it reached, the surging Evil Fire retreated.

At the same time, the scorpion's tail began to absorb.

The Evil Fire energy that was wandering in the meridians and had nowhere to go was gradually extracted by the Ice Jade Scorpion Tail.

Ma Xiaotao's mind went blank.

She had never experienced this feeling before.

Having let the Evil Fire rage within her for so many years, she had long since grown accustomed to the burning sensation. Just like someone who has lived in a noisy environment for a long time becomes numb.

And now, the noise has suddenly disappeared.

Instead, it brought an indescribable sense of comfort.

Yes, it's awesome.

No other word can describe it.

The Soul Power of Ultimate Ice flowed through her meridians, drawing away the Evil Fire inch by inch. The cool sensation from the inside out made her feel completely relaxed. Every meridian cheered, and every pore opened up.

Ma Xiaotao's fingers unconsciously tightened, gripping Dai Huabin's shoulders.

"Hmm..."

She let out a very soft groan, then bit her lower lip.

This feels so good.

This feeling is ten times stronger than the exhilaration of perfecting Soul Power during a breakthrough in cultivation.
