Xiaotao lifted her head, her peach-blossom eyes filled with unbelievable shock.
"I stretched my muscles a little, and accidentally broke through to the peak of the demigod level."
Luo Feng indulgently pinched the tip of her pert, jade-like nose, his tone so casual it was as if he had merely gone out for breakfast.
"The p-peak of the demigod level?!"
Ma Xiaotao sucked in a cold breath, completely stunned.
"In the middle of the night, just where did you go to cause trouble?"
Ma Xiaotao swallowed, her voice trembling faintly.
"Nothing much. I just went and killed Death God Douluo Zhongli Wu, then stopped by Evil Demon Forest and wiped out the Holy Spirit Cult's lair. Oh, right, I also killed an eight-hundred-thousand-year-old Big Eyeball and took an External Spirit Bone."
Luo Feng spoke as if it were nothing at all.
"..."
Ma Xiaotao completely lost the ability to speak.
She looked at Luo Feng's peerlessly handsome face, one that radiated extreme wicked charm and domineering authority.
Ma Xiaotao's heart began pounding wildly at a speed she had never experienced before.
She became clingier than ever, her long, jade-like arms locking tightly around Luo Feng's neck.
Her full chest pressed tightly against his heart, as if afraid that the moment she loosened her grip, this godlike man would ascend and leave her behind.
Luo Feng felt the beauty in his arms clinging to him without reservation, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.
He supported Ma Xiaotao's astonishing curves and carried her slowly to the bedside, then sat down.
"If you can't bear to leave me, then obediently become my Archangel's exclusive phoenix."
A wisp of pure golden divine light lit at Luo Feng's fingertip. It was pure origin power that had reached the Peak Divine Origin Realm.
He gently tapped Ma Xiaotao between the brows, pouring that vast yet gentle divine power into her body.
It helped further cleanse her martial soul and solidify the foundation of her Ultimate Fire.
Bathed in that sacred radiance as warm as spring, Ma Xiaotao let out a comfortable murmur.
She nuzzled in Luo Feng's arms like an obedient little cat.
"Right, A-Feng,"
Ma Xiaotao seemed to remember something and lifted her head, giving him a somewhat resentful look.
"Sister Lexuan came looking for you last night. After you went out with her, she never came back. Be honest—did you also have thoughts about her..."
"She had something to ask of me, so I helped her solve a big problem while I was at it."
The wicked smile at Luo Feng's lips grew even stronger, and his deep gaze seemed to pierce through the wall, looking toward the other side of Sea God Island.
"However, she does indeed owe me an enormous 'reward.'"
"Once she settles Tang Ya down, I imagine she'll personally come to fulfill her promise."
She looked at Luo Feng's peerlessly handsome face, one that radiated extreme wicked charm and domineering authority.
Ma Xiaotao's heart began pounding wildly at a speed she had never experienced before.
She had always been a woman who admired strength, and Luo Feng was not merely strong—he was strong to the point where others could not even muster the courage to chase after him.
Just then, a burst of light footsteps sounded outside the door.
The footsteps were hesitant yet graceful, carrying a trace of awkwardness rarely seen in her usual self.
Ma Xiaotao's ears twitched slightly, and the clingy, seductive look on her face instantly drew back a little.
She jumped down from Luo Feng, walked barefoot to the door, and glanced outside through the crack.
"It's Sister Lexuan."
Ma Xiaotao turned back and winked at Luo Feng, her expression becoming a little strange.
There was even a tiny hint of... teasing encouragement?
"Come in, Sister Lexuan. How long are you planning to stand at the door?"
Ma Xiaotao generously pulled the door open.
Outside, Zhang Lexuan was wearing a plain and elegant white dress, her expression showing slight exhaustion.
But on that cool, stunningly beautiful face of hers, there was now an indescribable blush.
Seeing Luo Feng sitting calmly at the bedside, she froze at first, then her gaze became extremely complicated.
Last night, after Luo Feng left, she had followed Luo Feng's instructions.
She immediately brought Beibei and Tang Ya back to the infirmary.
After treatment from the academy's elders, Beibei's life was saved, but his soul power had been gravely damaged for the rest of his life;
Under the cleansing of Luo Feng's Divine Law, all the evil attributes within Tang Ya had been purged, but she still had not awakened.
Only after everything had been dealt with did Zhang Lexuan realize the "any price" promise she had made last night.
It hung over her heart, becoming a mental demon she could not shake no matter what.
"Luo Feng... you're back."
Zhang Lexuan's voice was a little hoarse.
Luo Feng looked at the eldest senior sister before him, cool and aloof as the moon, and the corner of his mouth curved into a teasing smile.
"Mm, everything's handled. So, Senior Sister Lexuan came to fulfill your promise?"
The moment those words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned ambiguous and tense.
Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath. She looked at the man before her, the man who had trampled the entire world beneath his feet.
Then she glanced at Ma Xiaotao beside her, who was watching with a faint smile that was not quite a smile.
In the end, her body, which had been taut all this time, seemed to lose every last bit of its guard, and she slowly walked up to Luo Feng.
"I... I keep my word.
Since I made a promise, I absolutely won't go back on it.
As long as you... you can make sure the Tang Sect is never tainted by evil again, and can protect Shrek... I..."
Before Zhang Lexuan could finish, Ma Xiaotao, standing to the side, actually hugged Zhang Lexuan's slender waist from behind.
She even boldly blew a breath by her ear, her mischievous manner simply enough to make one's jaw drop.
"Oh, Sister Lexuan, stop dragging your feet!"
Ma Xiaotao giggled, then actually took Zhang Lexuan's hand and pushed her straight toward Luo Feng.
"You saw it too. This monster, A-Feng, went out for one night and came back even stronger.
On this whole continent, who else is more worthy of you, our eldest senior sister?"
"Xiaotao, you..."
Zhang Lexuan blushed bright red, never having expected that Xiaotao, who usually loved getting jealous the most, would be this direct.
Ma Xiaotao wrapped an arm around Zhang Lexuan's shoulders and said with a wicked grin, "Sister Lexuan, stop being so reserved!
I went to see Beibei too. Right now, what he feels for you is only respect and brotherly affection. Tang Ya is his whole life.
You were his child bride for so many years. Haven't you had enough of that grievance?
Now A-Feng has taken a liking to you. That's your good fortune, and it's Shrek's good fortune too!"
"And besides..."
Ma Xiaotao lowered her voice meaningfully and whispered beside Zhang Lexuan's ear, "Last night, I helped him clean out that evil cult, and you put in effort too.
If we sisters can join hands and serve him well enough to make him happy, won't we be the ones calling the shots on Douluo Continent from now on?"
Zhang Lexuan's delicate body trembled wildly at Ma Xiaotao's bold, outrageous words.
That beautiful face, usually as cool and ethereal as an immortal's, was now so red it looked as if it might drip blood.
She raised her head, and a hint of struggle flashed through those clear, autumn-water eyes, but even more than that, there was a sense of destiny that was hard to resist.
She was the "perfect tool" chosen by the Sea God Pavilion, her fate arranged from the moment she was born.
But now, this black-haired youth before her had used absolute force to shatter the source of all her tragedy.
He had slain Zhongli Wu, destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult, and even made the person who had always treated her as a child bride...
The chains of fate that had tormented her for so many years had finally snapped completely.
So, tonight...
