"Wang Dong, are you an idiot?" Su Chen grabbed her wrist, his voice uncharacteristically hurried. "Her state is clearly not right, run!"

Before the words even faded, Su Chen flashed, pulling Wang Dong back as he retreated!

That red figure was simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, she had surged from hundreds of meters away to within a hundred meters of the shore. Immediately following, a terrifying, intense heat swept over them!

"Ah!" Wang Dong gasped.

She finally felt it—an indescribable, frenzied aura erupting from that senior. Violent, scorching, chaotic; this was absolutely not a state a normal person should be in!

The surrounding temperature climbed sharply. The grass by the lake withered to a dry yellow at a visible rate, leaves curled, and the air warped and distorted. Wang Dong even smelled something burning.

"Careful!"

Wang Dong shouted anxiously. Almost by instinct, she spread her gorgeous butterfly wings with a "swish," the blue wings looking dreamlike and ethereal under the setting sun.

The next second, she did something that left even Su Chen stunned—

Wang Dong resolutely hugged Su Chen from behind, her butterfly wings flapping with all her might, trying to lift him off the ground!

"You..." Su Chen was speechless.

He felt a mix of laughter and tears. Trying to outrun someone when their cultivation was higher and they could also fly? And that person was a berserk, out-of-control, aggressive Spirit Master?

If this wasn't courting death, what was?

Even with wings, he wouldn't dare take flight at a time like this; Wang Dong was truly bold!

"Let go of me!" Su Chen hissed. "If you do this, neither of us will get away!"

But it was already too late.

The terrifying heat exploded at this moment! Ma Xiaotao was engulfed in raging flames, not the normal red, but a strange, dark crimson. She threw her head back and let out a shriek that sounded inhuman, then thrust both hands forward—

A scorching wave of fire surged like a tsunami!

Su Chen and Wang Dong felt as if they were plunged into a sea of fire. All vegetation within dozens of meters turned scorched yellow in an instant, and several small trees even burst into flames!

Just at this critical moment—

An aura of extreme cold descended from the sky!

"Crack, crackle..."

The sound of freezing echoed. That attack, filled with extreme cold, forcefully pushed back the scorching heat. With Su Chen and Wang Dong at the center, everything within a hundred-meter radius was instantly frozen into ice sculptures!

The lake water solidified, frost coated the grass and trees, and even the air seemed to freeze. The scorching heat and extreme cold clashed violently in this area, emitting a "hissing" sound and sending up clouds of white mist.

A graceful figure slowly descended.

It was a woman, appearing to be in her late twenties, wearing an ice-blue dress. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her face was stunningly beautiful. Most eye-catching were her long, straight legs, visible through the slit of her dress, with perfectly shocking proportions.

Beneath her feet, nine spirit rings rose slowly—

One yellow, two purple, five black, one red!

Titled Douluo!

And it was the top-tier spirit ring configuration; the ninth ring was actually a hundred-thousand-year ring!

Seeing that Su Chen was unharmed, this suddenly appearing Titled Douluo knelt on one knee, her voice cold and respectful: "Greetings, Young Master. This subordinate is late; please punish me."

Su Chen looked at the woman kneeling before him, understanding dawning on him.

This was someone sent by the Holy Heaven SectGuliang Meng, with the Ice Element Spirit, a level 96 Super Douluo. She usually did not appear, only showing herself when Su Chen was in danger or had a special mission.

With such an astonishing spirit ring configuration and strength, the system-granted sect was truly worthy of its name.

Su Chen turned his gaze to his arms—to protect him, Wang Dong had used her body to block most of the heat impact and had now fallen unconscious. Fortunately, she had only overexerted her spirit power and suffered the impact; she wasn't seriously injured.

Su Chen couldn't understand why Wang Dong hadn't protected herself first, but instead turned to shield him? What exactly was going on in this girl's head?

"Rise," Su Chen said to Guliang Meng. "Fortunately, you were in time."

"Yes, Young Master." Guliang Meng stood up, her ice-blue eyes looking at Wang Dong in Su Chen's arms, then at the red figure in the distance who was still struggling despite being frozen. "How should she be handled?"

Su Chen followed her gaze and realized that although Ma Xiaotao was restricted by the ice, she hadn't completely lost the ability to act. Moreover, she had somehow broken free from part of the ice and was currently staring fixedly at Su Chen with blood-red eyes.

What left Su Chen even more speechless was that Ma Xiaotao had somehow moved a distance toward him, and the distance between them was now less than ten meters!

Although Guliang Meng was an ice-attribute Titled Douluo, she did not possess Ultimate Ice, and since she hadn't used her full power, she couldn't suppress Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix spirit, only temporarily restricting her. (Yan Shaozhe, at level 95 with Light, couldn't suppress her either; while ice could suppress her in terms of cultivation, she hadn't used her full strength.)

"You withdraw first," Su Chen decided instantly. "Remember, don't let anyone discover you."

Guliang Meng hesitated: "But Young Master, your safety..."

"I have my own ways," Su Chen said firmly. "Go."

"...As you command."

Guliang Meng took one deep look at Su Chen, her figure turning into a blue light and vanishing into the horizon. As she left, the surrounding ice began to melt rapidly.

"Holy crap! Su Chen, how do you run into all these good things?"

In the Sea of Consciousness, sensing the danger outside, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm woke up from its sleep instantly. It rubbed its eyes with its short hands, and seeing that it was a narrow escape, it breathed a sigh of relief, patting its chest repeatedly.

"Where did this crazy woman come from? You scared the hell out of me!" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still shaken. "Good thing you had a Titled Douluo protecting you... wait, since when do you have a Titled Douluo bodyguard?!"

Its voice suddenly rose, filled with shock and curiosity.

Su Chen gently placed the unconscious Wang Dong under a tree while responding within his mind: "Did I ever say I didn't have a Title Douluo bodyguard?"

"You, you..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was momentarily speechless, only muttering after a long while, "Fine, you have secrets, Brother understands. But now is not the time to discuss this—how are we dealing with that madwoman?"

He was referring to Ma Xiaotao, who was currently struggling to break free from the ice seal.

Su Chen looked at the figure burning with evil fire not far away, his brows slightly furrowed: "I was just about to ask you. Do you have a way to deal with her evil fire?"

"Evil fire?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm circled within the Sea of Consciousness, rubbing his chin in thought, "Actually, her evil fire isn't a difficult matter in front of you. An ice martial soul can only suppress it, and only Ultimate Ice can resolve it completely, but if evil energy encounters a sacred attribute, it can only flee in terror."

He paused, his tone becoming smug: "What's more, your martial soul is the strongest sacred attribute martial soul on the continent—Six-Winged Angel! All evil energy fears the light, fire, and sacred attributes of an angel. You are practically the nemesis of evil fire!"

Su Chen: "..."

He fell silent.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "...Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"

Su Chen took a deep breath and said slowly in his mind: "Damn, I really am an idiot."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "Huh?"

"I actually needed a big bug to remind me." Su Chen's tone carried a hint of self-mockery, "The Six-Winged Angel martial soul is the nemesis of all evil energy; even an Evil Soul Master would have to take a detour upon seeing me. And I couldn't handle a little bit of evil energy?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "...Hey! Who are you calling a big bug! Brother is the handsome, dashing, and suave Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!"

Su Chen ignored his protest.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao had completely broken free from the ice seal. The evil fire around her body grew more intense, her blood-red eyes locked onto Su Chen, and she let out a low growl from her throat, closing in step by step.

Su Chen no longer hesitated.

He stood up straight, and golden soul power began to surge from his body. Behind him, three pairs of snow-white angel wings slowly unfolded, each feather shimmering with sacred radiance.

"Angel Domain—Activate!"

An invisible force field expanded from Su Chen as the center, instantly enveloping a radius of fifty meters. Within this domain, a sacred aura permeated the air, and the evil fire began to twitch and shrink uneasily, as if it had encountered its natural predator.

Ma Xiaotao's movements clearly faltered. She tilted her head, a trace of confusion flashing in her blood-red eyes, but it was quickly drowned out by madness.

Su Chen stepped forward; within the domain, his speed reached its peak. In an instant, he appeared behind Ma Xiaotao.

His palm pressed directly against her back.

"Mere evil energy?" Su Chen let out a low shout, his golden soul power surging into Ma Xiaotao's body through his palm, "Suppress!"

In an instant, a pure and powerful sacred force enveloped the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul. The originally violent and scorching evil fire, upon encountering the sacred light, began to melt and retreat rapidly, like snow meeting the sun.

Its natural predator was right beside it; wouldn't acting up now be courting death?

"Mmm-ah..."

Ma Xiaotao's body trembled, and she let out an unconscious moan. She could feel the heat and madness that had tortured her for years being smoothed out and suppressed by a gentle yet powerful force.

So comfortable...

She hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. Every time the evil fire flared up, it felt like being thrown into magma to be scorched, the pain making her want to destroy everything. But at this moment, that cool, sacred energy flowed through her limbs and bones, carrying away all the pain and madness.

Time ticked by, second by second.

About half an hour later, Ma Xiaotao's delicate body trembled slightly, and her long, slender legs couldn't help but clamp together. She felt truly comfortable, as if she were soaking in a hot spring, every cell in her body cheering.

Suddenly, Ma Xiaotao's consciousness cleared.

Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes. Those eyes had returned from blood-red to their normal deep red, clear and bright.

Then she realized—she was being supported from behind by a golden-haired youth, his palm pressed against her back, and a warm, sacred force was continuously pouring into her body.

And she herself... had somehow gone limp in his arms, in an ambiguous posture.

Ma Xiaotao's face turned bright red.

"You, you..." She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Su Chen sensed her clarity and spoke: "Your evil fire was acting up, I was helping you suppress it."

His voice was calm, revealing no particular emotion.

Ma Xiaotao turned her head to look at Su Chen. When she saw the three pairs of snow-white angel wings behind him, her eyes widened in surprise: "You are... a Six-Winged Angel martial soul? And it's a six-winged one?"

As a Shrek inner court student, Ma Xiaotao naturally knew what the Six-Winged Angel signified. The inheritance of the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago, the bloodline of the Angel God Qian Renxue, the nemesis of all evil.

But she had never heard of anyone possessing a complete six-winged form before reaching the rank of Soul Elder.

"Yes." Su Chen replied simply, continuing to channel his soul power, "But I can only suppress it for you now, not eradicate it. Your evil fire has deeply fused with your martial soul; to resolve it completely, you still need to rely on Ultimate Ice."

Ma Xiaotao lowered her head, her voice filled with apology and exhaustion: "I'm sorry... I lost control just now and almost hurt you both."

She remembered seeing two figures by the lake before she lost her sanity. If Su Chen hadn't had the ability to suppress the evil fire, a catastrophe would likely have occurred today.

"You should be glad it was me you encountered," Su Chen said, his tone remaining indifferent.

Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips, not refuting him. She could feel the evil fire within her slowly subsiding under the suppression of the sacred power. That long-lost sense of relief made her unable to help but let out a comfortable sigh.

"Mmm... ah..."

The moment the sound escaped her lips, Ma Xiaotao regretted it. This, why does this sound so... ambiguous?!

Her face turned even redder, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's internal monologue was painted in an entirely different style:

I'm ruined! Being touched all over by a little junior, and even making those kinds of sounds! Even if it's for treatment, how am I supposed to face anyone if this gets out!

She couldn't help but steal a glance at Su Chen's profile.

The sunset's afterglow spilled across his face, outlining his exquisite contours. His golden hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and those focused eyes were a pure, deep, and bright gold. His nose was high and straight, his lips...

Ma Xiaotao's heart skipped a beat.

What a handsome little guy.

Are all members of the Angel clan this good-looking? I'm almost tempted to offer myself to him...

Wait! What am I thinking!

Ma Xiaotao shook her head violently, trying to shake off those messy thoughts. But her cheeks were uncooperatively growing hotter and hotter, burning like fire.

However... at this age, he's probably still just a "peanut," right?

As she thought about it, Ma Xiaotao's train of thought veered off in a strange direction. By the time she realized what she was thinking, her entire face was as red as a ripe apple.

Su Chen had been focused on suppressing the evil fire and had no idea Ma Xiaotao's internal monologue was so active. He only found it strange—why was Ma Xiaotao's body getting hotter and hotter? He clearly hadn't sensed any agitation from the evil fire.

"I have a hunch that this girl wants to mate with you..."

In the Sea of Consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm broke the spell, his tone filled with the certainty of a million-year-old veteran.

Su Chen's soul power circulation nearly faltered, and he retorted irritably in his mind: "...Shut up."

"It's true! Brother has lived for a million years; I still have that much intuition!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rolled around in the Sea of Consciousness, patting his chest with his short arms, swearing solemnly, "Look at her blushing, her shifty eyes, and that physical reaction... tsk tsk, young people really are full of energy!"

He paused, then added: "And according to Brother's observations, this girl's figure is top-tier. Curvaceous, slim waist, long legs, tsk tsk tsk. Su Chen, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but this kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime. How about Brother teaches you a few moves? I guarantee you'll..."
