Xiaotao's Blushing Face?! Yan Shaozhe's Question

At the time, however, none of the elders had dared to consider the possibility of ultimate attributes. It was simply too inconceivable.

The candlelight flickered, smoothing out every wrinkle on Yan Shaozhe's flushed face.

His gaze fell on Ma Xiaotao. Beneath his excitement, his tone carried a long-hidden curiosity.

"Xiaotao, you are my disciple, and no one understands your Martial Soul better than I do. The Evil Fire Phoenix bloodline troubled you for so many years—how did it suddenly undergo a complete transformation and even advance to Ultimate Fire?"

He leaned forward slightly, his aged eyes full of inquiry. "The letter only said it was related to Junior Brother Lin, but I still have no idea how exactly it was done. Xiaotao, tell your teacher properly, will you?"

Ma Xiaotao's face instantly turned red.

After every session, she would lean back against the headboard in satisfaction, feeling the lingering aftereffects within her...

All of it was branded into the deepest recesses of her memories, every scene a secret, intimate indulgence.
