Suppressing Ma Hongjun! (Please Keep Reading)

Ma Hongjun was inherently the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.

And he was quite clever, too.

Only Boss Dai, Flander, and Oscar knew about this place.

And Flander and Oscar had already returned to Shrek Academy long ago.

So there was only one possibility: he had learned that he was here from Boss Dai.

Perhaps even under torture!

So there was only one thought in his mind...

Run!

Ma Hongjun swiftly turned and headed for the door, while Lin Yichen unhurriedly closed his fan.

He summoned the Lunar Jade Rabbit away from his body.

"First Soul Skill, Moonshadow Step!"

How could Ma Hongjun possibly match the speed of the Lunar Jade Rabbit empowered by Moonshadow Step?

It took only three short seconds to catch up to Ma Hongjun.

Lin Yichen then slowly walked over.

"Trying to run? Today, Uncle Chen will help you get rid of that evil fire!"

Lin Yichen put away his fan, grabbed Ma Hongjun by the neck as if he were a chick, and used Moonshadow Step on himself.

Then he dashed away, carrying Ma Hongjun with him.

Ma Hongjun bashfully covered his fat pig face.

After all, he was a regular here. Being treated like this in the place he knew best made him feel utterly miserable!

He even felt like dying!

After running for a minute, Ma Hongjun was brought into a deserted alley.

Lin Yichen casually threw him to the ground.

"Fatty, you can't run today. Your Boss Dai told me where you were. He told me that whenever your evil fire acts up, you love going to the House of Pleasure in Hundred Flowers Lane."

"He even told me who you usually liked to order most."

"Everything is in my favor today, so you're not getting away. Today, I'm going to cure that nasty habit of yours of visiting those pleasure houses!"

Lin Yichen rolled his hands and assumed a fighting stance, his bones cracking loudly.

Ma Hongjun clenched his fists without saying a word, his eyes bloodshot.

"Boss Dai, I hate you!"

When those words came from his mouth, they carried three parts anger, three parts helplessness, and four parts resignation.

Sweat beaded on Ma Hongjun's forehead. Knowing he could not escape, he could only vent his temper.

"I'm the fucking Evil Fire Phoenix! If I don't let it out, am I supposed to wait to die?"

"You're beyond teaching, like mud that can't be plastered onto a wall!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Domain of Guanghan!"

Lin Yichen's sixth soul skill now covered a smaller area, but its intensity had increased.

The domain encompassed only a two-meter radius around Ma Hongjun.

It froze him until cold sweat poured down his body.

Yet what slightly surprised him was that his evil fire actually seemed to have been suppressed?

And as this icy energy seeped into his martial soul, it even brought a certain sense of pleasure?

Ma Hongjun faintly sensed that this cold energy seemed especially effective at suppressing his evil fire.

Just as he was immersed in the cold energy and unable to pull himself free from it—

Lin Yichen's abrupt voice sounded beside his ear.

"Looks like you're still too comfortable. Let me add something extra."

"Third Soul Skill, Frost!"

In an instant, everything but Ma Hongjun's head was frozen.

The cold seeped deep into his bones.

"You!"

Ma Hongjun was gritting his teeth now. It seemed this guy was not doing this for his own good after all.

He simply wanted to torture him with ice!

"My lunar cold energy possesses power close to ultimate ice. Ultimate ice is the natural bane of evil fire."

Though Ma Hongjun did not understand what ultimate ice meant, since it had "ultimate" in its name, the ice surely could not be weak.

"I've had about enough fun."

Lin Yichen withdrew his hand, reopened his fan, and wore a teasing expression.

"This cold energy will remain in your meridians for three days. I advise you not to visit those pleasure houses during that time."

Although Ma Hongjun had been taught a lesson, he still forced himself to ask,

"Why not?"

Lin Yichen smiled helplessly.

"This cold energy will nourish every corner of your body. If you go to one of those pleasure houses within the next three days and get into a conflict with someone, the moment they make a move—"

"Smack! Cold? How are you supposed to play then?"

Ma Hongjun looked down at his crotch, and his face turned green.

No, this concerned his dignity!

With a thud, he dropped to his knees and hugged Lin Yichen's leg. "Bro! I was wrong, bro! Take this thing back! I'll never go to those pleasure houses again!"

Lin Yichen raised an eyebrow slightly. He had not expected this fatty to submit so quickly.

He had even wanted to try forcing him into submission with Moonlight Slash. This saved him some soul power.

"That won't do. Consider this my way of keeping an eye on you. It's your guarantee that you'll keep yourself in check."

Ma Hongjun felt utterly humiliated!

But he could not beat the other party!

How tragic, how tragic!

"You should be thanking me for coming a little late today and letting you enjoy yourself for a while. All right, hurry up and get back to Shrek!"

Ma Hongjun gave an "oh" and scampered away.

If he was properly disciplined from this point onward, he could still become an upright gentleman in the future.

It was getting late. Lin Yichen needed to go buy food, since his main task in coming out today had been to earn money for food.

He had merely dealt with a few people along the way.

By evening, the sky gradually darkened, and several pedestrians had already begun setting up stalls on the street.

Lin Yichen sniffed, and the fragrance filled his nose.

The food at Notting Cafeteria was terribly unappetizing.

After all, it was only a junior academy. Naturally, it could not compare to these little night market stalls outside.

Xiao Wu was a rabbit, so naturally she liked carrots.

And Lin Yichen had seen Xiao Wu eat meat before.

So...

"Boss, one wrap! Add meat and vegetables, especially carrot slices! Give me lots of those!"

With snacks, there naturally had to be some soup as well.

The only soup here that met Lin Yichen's standards was tomato beef brisket soup. Lin Yichen specifically requested that a little carrot be added to it.

Perhaps because Lin Yichen's true form was also a rabbit, he possessed a natural fondness for carrots.

Even the juice was made from carrots...

It was all carrots...

But then Lin Yichen encountered a major problem.

He did not have a storage soul tool.

In other words, he could actually carry very little on him.

Looks like I'll have to visit the auction tomorrow.

Thinking this, Lin Yichen knew he could not buy too much today either.

Otherwise, if he spilled it all on the road, that would be the end of it.

Let's go. Today's outing was over. It was time to return to Notting.

Moonshadow Step activated!

This time, he did not fuse with his martial soul, but instead summoned it away from his body.

He had the Lunar Jade Rabbit carry the wraps and snacks.

He himself carried the soup and staple food.

A mere 300% increase in speed was enough to get back in time.

Along the way, the Lunar Jade Rabbit ignored him and looked down on him with utter disdain...

Notting City, outside the gates of Notting Academy.

Xiao Wu had already been waiting here for an hour, constantly peering outside the gates as her two legs swung back and forth.

She did not know why she was waiting here. Every time she wanted to return to the academy, she would think of how disappointed he would be if he came back and she had not waited for him.

So she kept waiting.

"Guess he isn't coming tonight..."

Xiao Wu muttered with her little mouth pouted, unable to keep the disappointment from her heart.

"Forget it, I'll go back to Dorm Seven. I'll save a spot for Brother Yichen tonight."

"But I'm so hungry... Brother Yichen said he'd bring me food..."

Xiao Wu held her empty stomach and finally made up her mind to leave.

But...

"Xiao Wu! I'm back! You're hungry, right? Let's eat!"
