Angel and the Evil Fire Phoenix! Before the Expedition, Ma Xiaotao Knocked on My Door

After returning to Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion stayed brightly lit all night.

Everything that had happened in the Mingdou Mountain Range was reported by Elder Xuan to the master of the Sea God Pavilion, Dragon God Douluo Mu En, without missing a single word.

When he heard phrases like "killed an evil Soul Emperor instantly at rank thirty," "hundred-thousand-year fourth soul ring," and "dual divine skills"...

Even Elder Mu, who had lived for more than two hundred years, had an incredulous gleam burst from his usually clouded eyes.

Around the long table in the Sea God Pavilion, every elder drew in a sharp breath and fell into a long, deathly silence.

"No need to hunt soul beasts, a god-bestowed soul ring descending from the heavens... That is the bloodline of one favored by the gods in legend!"

Though Elder Mu's voice was aged, it carried the authority of a final verdict.

"This child's future is limitless. Perhaps he will be the unprecedented change Shrek has not seen in ten thousand years."

Immediately after, the focus of the meeting naturally shifted to the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament.

This tournament was no ordinary matter, because the venue was the capital of the Star Luo Empire—Star Luo City!

Facing the many powerful teams on the Star Luo Empire's home ground, as well as their old rival, Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, which had always been watching them hungrily while its soul engineering technology advanced with each passing day, Shrek's upper ranks had actually been under tremendous pressure all along.

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, in particular, regarded Shrek as a towering mountain they had to cross.

But now, Shrek had Luo Feng.

"I propose that Luo Feng be specially admitted into the official team for this tournament!"

Elder Xuan took a swig of liquor, his face flushed as he slapped the table, his emotions unusually stirred up.

"With that kid's hundred-thousand-year divine skill as our fallback, plus that terrifying body of his that ignores all common sense of physics, and the cooperation of Xiaotao and the others..."

"This time, when we go to the Star Luo Empire to compete, Shrek will sweep aside everything.

We'll grind those arrogant fools who don't know the height of heaven or the depth of earth into the dirt!"

In the end, the Sea God Pavilion passed the proposal unanimously.

Luo Feng, Shrek Academy's most mysterious and heaven-defying trump card in all its history, was officially confirmed as a core combatant for this Continental Soul Dueling Tournament!

The news soon reached the inner courtyard.

The moment Ma Xiaotao learned of the expedition roster and destination, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

Setting out for the Star Luo Empire meant they were about to step onto the most watched, most elite youth battlefield on the continent.

When the time came, Luo Feng's dazzling radiance would inevitably be impossible to conceal.

His strength, his handsome beauty, and that intoxicating sacred aura of his would attract the gazes of countless proud daughters of heaven across the entire continent!

"No, I absolutely can't let another woman get ahead of me!"

Ma Xiaotao stood before the full-length mirror in her dormitory.

She looked at the alluring, delicate body reflected in the mirror, with its exaggerated, proud curves.

She bit down hard on her rosy lips.

She was the queen of Shrek's inner courtyard, the fiery-tempered Evil Fire Phoenix.

On the battlefield, she was used to crushing her opponents. In matters of love, she likewise believed in taking the initiative!

They would assemble and depart first thing tomorrow morning.

Once they reached Star Luo City, there would be too many people and too many prying eyes, with the various factions tangled together in complex webs.

Finding another chance to be alone like this would be difficult.

Tonight was her last chance.

Before they set out, she had to take this man completely!

Night flowed like water, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

The dormitory area of Shrek's inner courtyard was silent and still.

Now and then, a breeze brushed through the leaves by Sea God Lake, making them rustle softly.

After Luo Feng finished washing up, he sat cross-legged on the bed.

He closed his eyes and focused, sensing the vast, ocean-like rank forty-three soul power within his body.

His Earthling's high-density carbon-based body, after being baptized by the hundred-thousand-year god-bestowed soul ring, seemed to have undergone another transformation, remade from the inside out.

Now, even if he did not use his Six-Winged Angel martial soul, with just the sheer mass of his body and the kinetic energy unleashed in a punch, he could probably shatter a small mountain with ease.

Just as Luo Feng was preparing to rest.

"Knock, knock, knock."

An extremely light yet somewhat urgent knocking came from outside the door.

"Who is it?"

Luo Feng opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flashing through his deep black gaze.

At this hour, who in the inner courtyard would come looking for him?

He got up and walked to the door, reached out to grip the handle, and gently pulled it open.

The instant the door opened, a rich, delicate fragrance mixed with a faint scent of roses and the scorching aura of fire attribute rushed over him.

The moment he saw the person outside, even Luo Feng, whose composure was astonishing, could not help having his breath catch slightly.

The one standing outside was Ma Xiaotao.

But she was definitely not the dashing inner-courtyard senior sister from daytime, dressed in her crisp red school uniform.

At this moment, she had clearly just finished bathing.

Her flame-like red hair hung damply over her snow-white, fragrant shoulders.

Droplets of water slid slowly along her delicate collarbones, radiating a deadly temptation.

She was actually wearing only an extremely thin, almost translucent dark-red silk slip dress!

Her outrageously alluring curves, enough to make one's blood surge, seemed ready to burst free beneath the tight wrap of the silk.

They rose and fell with her slightly hurried breathing.

Below her slender waist, fine enough to be held in one hand, was a pair of long, straight, dazzlingly fair legs.

Moonlight spilled over her body, setting off this fully ripened, top-tier fire-type beauty like a bewitching spirit in the night, one that could hook away a person's soul.

"Senior Sister Xiaotao?"

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, his gaze resting without the slightest concealment on those breathtaking curves for two seconds.

"We're setting out for the Star Luo Empire first thing tomorrow morning. You came to find me this late—something wrong?"

Ma Xiaotao did not answer.

In her beautiful phoenix eyes, ripples seemed to shimmer.

They carried an undisguised fervor and desire.

"Click."

Not only did she close the door behind her, she even used a trace of phoenix soul power to lock it firmly shut!

"Senior Sister, what is the meaning of this?"

"Luo Feng..."

Ma Xiaotao's voice carried a hoarseness and sweetness that would never have been there normally.

She suddenly stretched out both arms and, like a beautiful serpent, wrapped them directly around Luo Feng's neck.

Then she pressed her scorching, exquisitely soft body into Luo Feng's arms without holding anything back!

"Mm..."

Feeling that astonishing elasticity and burning body heat, Luo Feng's male instincts were also involuntarily awakened.

"Do you know..."

Ma Xiaotao rose slightly onto her tiptoes, her rosy lips almost touching Luo Feng's earlobe as her breath came out fragrant and warm.

"Ever since I saw you shatter the Death Messenger in the Mingdou Mountain Range, ever since I saw that hundred-thousand-year blood-red soul ring light up around you,"

"I've already gone completely mad."

As she murmured, her boneless, delicate hands slowly slid down along Luo Feng's solid chest.

Through the thin fabric, feeling Luo Feng's unbelievable muscle density, Ma Xiaotao's heartbeat grew faster and faster.

"The evil fire inside me has already been completely suppressed by your sacred radiance."

"But... now, an even fiercer fire has started burning in my heart."

At this moment, the red-haired queen of Shrek's inner courtyard threw away all her restraint.

Her eyes were hazy, yet they held a bewitching mix of dominance and absolute resolve.

"We're going to Star Luo City tomorrow.

Once we get there, who knows how many shameless vixens will set their sights on you?"

"Luo Feng, I want to..."
