Dai Mubai: Maybe a Wildcat

The two girls looked at Zhu Zhuqing in unison, causing her face to flush a deep crimson.

Finally, Ning Rongrong relented, "Then remember to ask for a bit more."

"Alright, I know."

Inside Lin Yan's dormitory.

The moment he returned to his room, he felt a strange sensation. A scorching heat rising from the depths of his meridians and a growing restlessness surging into his dantian made him realize that something was wrong with his body.

What is going on? Why is the Evil Fire growing so fast? Even Ma Hongjun's cultivation didn't seem this severe, did it?

Could it be that the Martial Soul Evolution has also amplified the influence of the Evil Fire?

Various conjectures flashed through Lin Yan's mind. The most logical conclusion was that the Martial Soul Evolution had affected the intensity of the Evil Fire, or perhaps the quality of the spirit rings provided by the system was so high that it triggered this agitation.

He tried to suppress the Evil Fire with his spirit power, but even Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix, mutated from a common pheasant, required periodic release—let alone a pure-blooded dragon lineage!

The purity of the Evil Fire within Lin Yan was far stronger and more overbearing than Ma Hongjun's. Once it erupted, it wouldn't just be a matter of going berserk or affecting his lifespan.

"Damn it, what do I do?"

Inside the room, Lin Yan was frantic; everything had happened too quickly!

One moment he was speaking passionately to the others about his grand ambitions, and the next, back in his room, the Evil Fire was already threatening his life.

With such a sudden change, even a god might not be able to save him.

The spirit power in his meridians grew increasingly scorching, and the Evil Fire rising from his lower abdomen began to erode his sanity.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

"Lin Yan, are you free?"

"I wanted to talk to you about something..."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice reached Lin Yan's ears, and at that moment, he felt as if his sea of consciousness had exploded!

The restlessness he could no longer suppress was magnified infinitely, like an abyss ready to swallow him whole.

He knelt on the floor, gritting his teeth as he squeezed out a few words.

"I'm not really in a convenient spot right now. Could you come back later?"

Outside the door, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to sense Lin Yan's discomfort and lowered her head silently.

"Oh!"

"Actually, it wasn't anything important. I'll just tell you through the door then."

"I just wanted to thank you for last night. If you hadn't reminded me, I might have..."

"Also, Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and I wanted to ask you for a few leaves of Blue Silver Grass. We're going to hunt for spirit rings tomorrow, and you know how dangerous the forest is."

Bang!

The door was suddenly pushed open violently from the inside. The next second, Lin Yan's bewitching and demonic face entered Zhu Zhuqing's line of sight.

"Lin Yan? You... what's wrong with you?"

The young girl could clearly see that Lin Yan was enduring immense pain. Out of kindness, she wanted to see if she could help.

"Should I go find a healing spirit master for you? You look so scary right now..."

"Ah!"

Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish her sentence, countless vines of Blue Silver Grass swarmed forward, binding her tightly.

The girl's figure was instantly dragged into the room, and the door was slammed shut behind her.

"Lin Yan, you..."

Inside the room, Lin Yan pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms.

The two kissed, and waves of intimacy filled the room.

After a long while, their lips parted...

The girl's dazed eyes gradually regained a hint of consciousness. When Lin Yan tried to kiss her again, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly turned her head away.

"No, we can't do this!"

However, Lin Yan had long since lost his consciousness; the brief separation had only been to catch their breath.

Since Zhu Zhuqing kept shaking her head, making it impossible for him to find his target, Lin Yan simply began tearing at the Blue Silver Grass with his large hands.

"No! Please, don't do this!"

"I'm sorry, I don't want them anymore, please let me go... I don't want the Blue Silver Grass anymore..."

On the other side.

In the boys' dormitory.

Ma Hongjun looked at the Blue Silver Grass leaf in his hand and said to Dai Mubai.

"Boss Dai, this is the life-saving artifact Lin Yan got for us."

Dai Mubai nodded slightly.

"This kid has a heart; it wasn't a waste of us defending him in front of Tang San."

"Look, it's obvious he specifically added extra life-attribute soul power; it's glowing green."

"That's for sure. Lin Yan has been a brother with me at the academy for six years; his character is beyond reproach."

"We have to help him pick out some good soul rings this time."

Because Oscar didn't want to stay with Tang San, he was currently in the two men's dormitory as well.

"I envy Lin Yan! He even has a second martial soul to cultivate."

"Eh? What's that sound?"

Listening to the faint, intermittent whimpering, Oscar stopped what he was doing and looked at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Dai Mubai didn't care at all, examining the greenish blade of grass in his hand while saying indifferently.

"Probably a wild cat in heat behind the mountain!"

"So noisy..."

In the girls' dormitory.

Ning Rongrong saw that Zhu Zhuqing hadn't returned after being gone for so long, so she turned to look at Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, why do you think Zhuqing isn't back yet?"

"Not sure, she probably has other things to talk about. Didn't she say Lin Yan helped her yesterday?"

Xiao Wu didn't think much of it, as her mind was currently preoccupied with whether Er Ming would come looking for her once they reached the Star Dou Forest in a couple of days.

Ning Rongrong leaned against the bed, her pretty face showing a hint of disappointment; if only she had gone to find Lin Yan earlier.

The young girl pouted, her brow slightly furrowed as she gripped the blade of grass that no longer held any soul power...

From dawn until dusk, the sun set and the moon rose.

At this moment, inside Lin Yan's room.

The pristine white bedsheets had long since lost their original appearance, and Lin Yan held Zhu Zhuqing from behind, his movements gradually softening.

"I'm sorry!"

"My second martial soul has an Evil Fire; if I hadn't done that at the time, I would have died from my body exploding."

Lin Yan's voice was somewhat hoarse, a result of dehydration.

The evening breeze blew over their bodies, bringing a chill to the lingering beads of sweat, while Zhu Zhuqing's eyes remained unfocused, and she did not speak...

"I know your identity, and I know your situation."

"Rest assured, I will take responsibility for you. My cultivation talent is excellent, and in the future... I will resolve the pressure from the Star Luo Royal Family for you."

"If you want direct freedom, I will take you away; if you want to prove yourself, I will help you become stronger."

"You won't have to carry the heavy shackles of fate anymore."

Lin Yan spoke with deep sincerity, and even though Zhu Zhuqing did not respond, he didn't show the slightest bit of impatience.

Because at this moment, on the system panel, Zhu Zhuqing's favorability had already reached 99%...
