And Yin Chen knows very well that the reward Yan Shaozhe prepared from the beginning was not only Ten-Thousand-Year Glue Whale, but also Ma Xiaotao himself.
It's just that he didn't just pretend to be stupid and accept it. If he really accepted it, it would be troublesome. He is not stupid.
With Ma Xiaotao's temper, he will suffer a lot when the time comes, so he will not accept this big trouble before taming the other party.
But the more of this eye-catching benefit, the better.
Ma Xiaotao jumped up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and regained his senior aura.
She raised her beautiful willow eyebrows, walked up to Yin Chen, and followed his previous appearance, looking him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Humph, you are quite direct, little brat."
Her tone returned to that lazy and domineering tone.
Then, she took a step forward, almost touching Yin Chen's face, her red lips were slightly opened, she breathed out like a blue, and said in a tone full of charm and ridicule:
"However, seeing as how frank you are, when you grow older and become stronger, sister, I... won't be able to consider you, right?"
She knew that her appearance was fatal to any young man.
She just wants to rebel against the general, and see if this little brat who always acts immature will blush and feel helpless because of this.
Being able to make Outer Court, who is surrounded by beauties like Yin Chen and is known as the new generation of girl killer, sway the heart. Doesn't it mean that her charm Ma Xiaotao is unstoppable?
She had heard a lot of rumors about this guy.
What Outer Court girls privately selected the number one boy they want to date the most.
What is the top list of Must-Kill-That-Scoundrel Ranking that is circulated among boys?
She wanted to see how good this so-called number one was.
However, Yin Chen's reaction once again exceeded her expectations.
Facing her almost provocative gesture, Yin Chen's face showed no trace of shyness or panic that a young man should have.
His heartbeat didn't even speed up.
He just looked at her calmly, a smile flashed in his clear eyes of different colors.
Then, he spread his hands, leaned back slightly, distanced himself a little, and said in a rather regretful tone:
"Then I think it's better to forget it."
"After all, the age gap between me and Sister Xiaotao is still a bit big."
"It's not appropriate."
The air, at this moment, solidified.
The charming smile on Ma Xiaotao's face froze at the corner of her mouth.
The age... gap... is a bit big?
Not suitable?
It took her brain two seconds to fully understand the subtext of this sentence.
This guy...
She just called him a little brat.
Now, he is just beating around the bush and saying that she is... old?!
"You...!"
The corners of Ma Xiaotao's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
A strong impulse to hit someone suddenly came to my heart.
She even clenched her fists subconsciously, and her joints made a crunching sound.
Just when the Phoenix Flame in her body was about to ignite uncontrollably again, she suddenly froze.
She clearly felt that the anger, although strong,... was no longer able to arouse the Evil Fire in her body as easily as before.
That anger was like a beast locked in a strong cage. Although it was still roaring, it could not break through the cage and affect her sanity.
Can she... control her temper?
This discovery made the anger in her heart instantly dissipated by a huge surprise.
Without the influence of Evil Fire... her temper seems... really not as hot as before?
In the past, she would have hit someone long ago, so she wouldn't be able to think.
She stared blankly at her still clenched fist, and then at the innocent-looking Yin Chen opposite.
She suddenly felt that taking action just because of this little verbal dispute seemed... a bit childish indeed.
What's more, this guy really spent a lot of effort to suppress Evil Fire for himself just now.
Although the process is a bit... embarrassing, the result is good.
Thinking of this, her clenched fists slowly loosened.
She let out a long breath and suppressed the last bit of discomfort in her heart.
Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly, raised his arrogant chin, and said in a tone that says that adults don't remember the faults of villains:
"Hmph, sister, I'm in a good mood today. I'm not as experienced as a little brat like you."
"Seeing as you did a big favor to my sister just now, if anyone dares to bully you in the Shrek Academy from now on, you will give me Ma Xiaotao's name."
"Sister, I'll cover you."
After saying that, she no longer gave Yin Chen any chance to refute, shook her head proudly, turned around and left.
The fiery red figure, like a brilliant stream of light, disappeared into the Ice Seal woods in a few flashes.
When her figure completely disappeared, an inaudible whisper, as if blown away by the wind, floated over leisurely.
"Thank you..."
The voice was as light as a dream, but it passed into Yin Chen's ears clearly.
"Heh."
Yin Chen stood there, listening to the belated thank you, and couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head in a funny way.
"Still a tsundere?"
He raised his head and glanced at the forest whose environment had been completely changed by his own power. Those crystal ice sculptures shone with beautiful yet dangerous light in the sunlight.
He didn't have the slightest worry.
He turned around, took steps, and walked leisurely out of the woods.
As for the aftermath?
He believed that Dean Yan Shaozhe, who had been secretly observing from the beginning to the end, would handle these little troubles.
As expected.
Not long after Yin Chen's figure completely left the woods.
A mild Soul Power fluctuation came quietly.
The hard ice crystals in the forest began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the melted water did not soak the soil. Instead, before falling to the ground, it evaporated out of thin air and turned into the purest water vapor, nourishing the vegetation that had just experienced the two worlds of ice and fire.
It only takes less than a quarter of an hour.
This magnificent world of ice crystals has returned to its original state.
When Yin Chen's figure reappeared at the door of Freshman Class One's classroom, time seemed to have pressed the pause button.
The classroom that was buzzing a second ago fell into an eerie silence at this moment.
More than fifty eyes from the class all focused on the young man with silver hair and strange eyes at the door.
Curiosity, exploration, envy, jealousy, worry... various complex emotions are intertwined in these young eyes.
The monitor is back.
After being dragged away in public by that senior sister Inner Court, after so long, he finally came back.
