Arriving at Star Luo City! Ma Xiaotao Insists on Sharing a Room with Me

Early that morning, the Shrek Academy delegation officially broke camp and set out under the lead of Elder Xuan and Teacher Zhou Yi.

They headed straight for the capital of the Star Luo Empire—Star Luo City.

Along the way, because the crisis in the Mingdou Mountain Range had been effortlessly resolved by Luo Feng in a completely unreasonable fashion, the mood of the entire group had become much more relaxed.

However, Zhou Yi, who was leading the team, felt her temples throbbing at that moment, her head aching badly.

There was no other reason.

It was all because of the man and woman walking at the very front of the group.

"Ah Feng, eat this!

This is soul beast jerky I specially brought from the inner courtyard cafeteria. It's the best for replenishing qi and blood."

"Come on, ah!"

Ma Xiaotao followed closely at Luo Feng's side step for step.

That pretty face of hers, usually as cold as ice and enough to strike fear into countless male students of the inner courtyard, was now filled with tender sweetness.

Her fair, slender little hand pinched a piece of exquisite jerky and naturally brought it to Luo Feng's lips.

Her watery phoenix eyes were full of sparkling affection.

"Sister Xiaotao, I can do it myself. Everyone's watching."

Luo Feng smiled a little helplessly, but still opened his mouth and bit down on the jerky.

"Let them watch. I'm feeding my own man. Who dares have an opinion?"

Ma Xiaotao proudly lifted her swanlike, elegant neck, and the corner of her eye swept toward the rear.

The inner courtyard seniors who had been secretly glancing this way, as soon as they met the trace of warning phoenix pressure in Ma Xiaotao's gaze, were so frightened that they all shrank their necks back, inwardly groaning in misery.

How was this still the inner courtyard's number-one senior sister, the one who would go berserk at the slightest provocation and had a fiery temper?

This was clearly a sweet little wife who already saw herself as a daughter-in-law of the Luo family and was extremely protective of her food!

"Teacher Zhou, this... hasn't Senior Sister Xiaotao and Brother Luo's relationship developed a little too fast?"

Walking in the middle, Huo Yuhao swallowed and asked Zhou Yi beside him in a low voice.

Wang Dong, at the side, had a slight blush on his pretty face and gave a somewhat jealous humph.

"Pulling and tugging in public. Truly shameless."

Zhou Yi raised a jade-like hand and rubbed her swollen brow.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao ahead, who was practically glued to Luo Feng, she sighed.

She understood Ma Xiaotao's personality better than anyone.

The Evil Fire Phoenix, blazing and pure to the extreme.

Once she set her mind on someone, even nine oxen could not pull her back from that absolute madness.

What was more, Luo Feng had not only completely conquered Ma Xiaotao in terms of strength, he had also become her only antidote and salvation in terms of attribute and martial soul.

Zhou Yi shook her head and could only secretly pray in her heart.

She hoped these two little ones would restrain themselves a little once they reached Star Luo City.

And not affect the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament.

Several days later.

A vast, majestic city, like an ancient giant beast crouching upon the plains, finally appeared in the sight of Shrek's group.

The capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City!

As a renowned ancient capital of ten thousand years, Star Luo City was now decorated with lanterns and colored banners, bustling with extraordinary liveliness.

Elites from hundreds and thousands of advanced soul master academies across every nation on the continent had gathered here.

Countless banners and soul tool neon lights adorned the entire city until it looked like a city that never slept.

The air was filled with the uncontrollable iron-blooded spirit and passion that belonged to the young.

"Wow! It's huge! It feels even more prosperous than Shrek City!"

The youths of the reserve team could not help crying out in amazement.

Under the Star Luo Empire's official, high-standard reception, Shrek Academy, as the undisputed leader among the delegations, was directly welcomed into the most luxurious residence in the entire city—the Star Luo Grand Hotel.

This was royal property, specially used to receive the most distinguished guests.

Luxurious gold-threaded carpets and enormous soul tool crystal chandeliers.

And the exquisite relief carvings visible everywhere all displayed the empire's depth and heritage.

Inside the hall on the top floor of the hotel.

Zhou Yi stood before the long table, holding a stack of gold-embossed room cards as she prepared to assign rooms to the team members.

"Official team members and reserve members, listen up. For ease of management and pre-match preparations, the general rule is two people to a room. Boys room with boys, girls with girls."

Zhou Yi's cool voice echoed through the hall.

"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, you two in one room."

"Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, you two in one room..."

Zhou Yi read out the list methodically. Just as she picked up the next room card and was about to speak, "Wait a moment, Teacher Zhou."

A crisp yet domineering voice cut Zhou Yi off without warning.

Everyone turned toward the sound and saw Ma Xiaotao striding over in high heels.

Her tall, fiery figure traced a breathtaking curve as she walked straight up to the long table.

She naturally reached out a fair hand and hooked it around Luo Feng's arm beside her.

Then, without the slightest restraint, she pressed her full chest against Luo Feng's arm.

"There's no need to trouble yourself arranging Luo Feng's room separately."

Ma Xiaotao lifted her chin and said with perfect confidence, "I'm sharing a room with him!"

The moment those words came out, the entire hall instantly fell into deathly silence.

"Pfft!"

Behind them, Dai Yueheng sprayed out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk.

Yao Haoxuan's foot slipped, and he nearly slammed headfirst into the soul tool lamp post beside him.

Zhou Yi's expression went completely dark as she looked at the red-haired mature beauty before her in anger.

"Nonsense! Ma Xiaotao, this is Star Luo City. We represent Shrek Academy's reputation!"

"Discipline is strict during the tournament. What does it look like for men and women to share rooms? If word gets out, what kind of scandal would that be?!"

Faced with the fury of a senior teacher, an inner courtyard student would normally have gone silent with fear.

But who was Ma Xiaotao? She was the lawless Evil Fire Phoenix.

And at this moment, in her subconscious, since she had already given herself completely to Luo Feng last night in Star Dou Forest, then Luo Feng was her rightful husband. A wife sharing a room with her husband was only natural!

"Teacher Zhou, how can you call this nonsense?

I'm doing this for the honor of the academy!"

Not only did Ma Xiaotao not let go, she hugged Luo Feng even tighter and refuted her with a perfectly serious expression.

"You know as well as anyone that the evil fire in my body could lose control at any moment.

After the battle in the Mingdou Mountain Range, I discovered that only when I'm by Ah Feng's side, using his ultimate sacred attribute to suppress it, can I maintain my condition at its peak!"

At this point, Ma Xiaotao paused slightly.

She turned her head and looked at Luo Feng with deep affection, then continued facing Zhou Yi with righteous conviction.

"What if, in the middle of the night, my evil fire suddenly goes berserk without warning and hurts the other female team members?

Or affects tomorrow's opening ceremony? Who would bear that responsibility?"

"So, for Shrek to successfully win the championship, Luo Feng and I staying close together, helping each other out, is the safest choice!"

"Ma Xiaotao, you..."

Zhou Yi took a deep breath and was just about to use her authority as acting team leader to refuse outright.

Just then, Elder Xuan, who had been carrying his purplish-red gourd and pretending to be drunk on the sofa, gave a tactical cough.

"Ahem...

Well, lass Zhou, this old man thinks what little Xiaotao said isn't entirely without reason."
