Huo Yuhao lifted Ma Xiaotao's chin with one finger.
Ma Xiaotao stared straight at Huo Yuhao with her alluring eyes.
"What do you want?"
Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.
Ma Xiaotao breathed rapidly. "I know you're that Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. The moment I was frozen that day, I remembered your aura."
"Give it to me, quickly. I can barely suppress my Evil Fire anymore."
Huo Yuhao smiled.
In the original story, Brother Sky Dream had acted, and Ma Xiaotao had noticed nothing unusual.
He had never expected that his own intervention would create a butterfly effect and make Ma Xiaotao remember his aura.
"Sure! Then I'll use an ancient method to dispel your Evil Fire."
Huo Yuhao gave a roguish smile.
"An ancient method for dispelling Evil Fire?"
Ma Xiaotao was completely baffled. How had she never heard of such an ancient method?
"The ancient method for dispelling Evil Fire is the method Ma Hongjun used."
"The method used by Ma Hongjun's ancestor?"
"Wait, could it be... No... I don't want that..."
Wasn't Ma Hongjun's method for eliminating Evil Fire the union of yin and yang?
"Then forget it..."
Before Huo Yuhao could finish, Ma Xiaotao pounced on him, pressing her fiery red lips against his.
Ma Xiaotao has sent you a battle invitation! Please choose 1. Yes 2. No problem 3. OK
There was no need for further words. Huo Yuhao selected them all.
The two then began an earth-shaking, ghost-weeping battle.
At the start, Ma Xiaotao seemed reluctant yet welcoming, but once her Evil Fire surged to her head, she began to take the initiative.
She pinned Huo Yuhao down and attacked.
Yet with the advantage of his combat experience, Huo Yuhao once more held the rhythm of the battle firmly in his grasp.
Before long, Ma Xiaotao surrendered.
But to avenge being suppressed, Huo Yuhao chose to continue mercilessly whipping Ma Xiaotao.
For a time, Ma Xiaotao was battered into a state of blissful torment.
However, Ma Xiaotao was extraordinarily gifted. Before long, she had absorbed Huo Yuhao's combat experience.
She immediately put it to use against Huo Yuhao.
The student surpassed the teacher. In this ultimate art, Huo Yuhao, the instructor, was overtaken by his apprentice, Ma Xiaotao.
Huo Yuhao was suppressed once more.
Helpless, for the sake of a man's pride, he could only use his ultimate masculine divine skill.
Reverse Cursed Technique
Wherever it failed, he restored it!
With his condition restored, Huo Yuhao's combat strength returned to its peak.
The battle entered its climax once more.
He was invincible. No matter the aspect, he was invincible.
Early morning.
A ray of sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling window.
It fell across Ma Xiaotao's eyes. Her eyelids twitched slightly before she opened them.
She found herself lying in the arms of an incomparably handsome man with an otherworldly temperament.
"Y-you-you-you-you... Who are you?!"
Ma Xiaotao was horrified. She hurriedly pulled up the blanket and wrapped it around her flawless bare body.
Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, revealing Six Eyes as vast and azure as a river of stars.
They stared at Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao instantly felt her breathing stop, and endless terror engulfed her entire body.
"You've forgotten me so quickly?"
As Huo Yuhao spoke, he put on his blindfold.
The moment he put it on, Ma Xiaotao immediately recognized him. "Huo Yuhao, why are you here?"
"And what exactly happened between us?"
Huo Yuhao stretched lazily. "You dragged me here in the middle of the night and asked me to help you dispel your Evil Fire."
"So I used an ancient method to help you dispel it."
"An ancient method for dispelling Evil Fire..."
Ma Xiaotao suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday.
Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson.
"Y-you... How could you do something like that?!"
Ma Xiaotao demanded.
Huo Yuhao got dressed and shook his head with a smile. "No need to thank me."
"Thank you, my ass! You actually dared to do that to me!"
Ma Xiaotao's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Six Soul Rings emerged—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black.
Her aura erupted, and Evil Fire scattered in every direction.
She looked as though she was determined to kill Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao raised a hand and pointed at Ma Xiaotao's forehead.
"Don't be impulsive. You're no match for me."
Ma Xiaotao's aura immediately deflated, and her Soul Rings vanished.
Boundless terror surged in her heart.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand and chuckled. "In the future, if your Evil Fire goes berserk, you can come find me. I'll help you without fail, since I'm such a helpful person."
After getting dressed, Ma Xiaotao grabbed Huo Yuhao. "Can you tell me whether you're the Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul?"
"And what exactly happened with those two times I fainted?"
Now that her Evil Fire had been dispelled, Ma Xiaotao was much calmer.
Although she was still angry inside.
It was not too much, though. She would have to find a lover sooner or later anyway.
If Huo Yuhao was that Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul...
And since she had already given him her first time, then perhaps she might as well...
Huo Yuhao said mysteriously:
"It was me, yet it wasn't me."
Ma Xiaotao did not understand. "What do you mean?"
Huo Yuhao smiled. "I merely used a special Self-Created Soul Skill to reverse your Evil Fire."
"The stronger your Evil Fire is, the stronger the reversed ice becomes."
Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up at those words.
"Can I learn it?"
If she learned this Self-Created Soul Skill, she would never have to suffer from losing control of her Evil Fire again.
Huo Yuhao spread his hands. "Sorry. Although I'd like to teach you, you can't possibly learn it."
It was not that Huo Yuhao was being stingy.
After all, Ma Xiaotao had already become his woman.
Rather, the difficulty of learning Reverse Cursed Technique was simply far too great.
Furthermore, due to the difference in their cultivation paths, the difficulty would multiply several times over.
Huo Yuhao smiled.
"I have a way to eliminate your Evil Fire while preserving the attribute of Ultimate Fire."
Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Huo Yuhao slowly said, "Do you know about Immortal Herbs?"
Ma Xiaotao pondered for a moment.
"The family records say that Ancestor Ma Hongjun once consumed an Immortal Herb, evolving his Martial Soul and completely purging his Evil Fire."
"Could it be that you know where to find an Immortal Herb?"
Huo Yuhao smiled. "That's right. Not only do I know where the Immortal Herbs are, I also know which one suits you best."
"Then..."
"But I won't simply give a treasure as precious as an Immortal Herb away for nothing."
"We've already done that, and you..."
Huo Yuhao pulled the breathtakingly beautiful Ma Xiaotao into his arms and lowered his head to gently kiss her fiery red lips.
"I've always spoken my mind. I don't like beating around the bush."
"I want you to be my woman. The kind that lasts a lifetime."
Ma Xiaotao recalled yesterday's earth-shaking, ghost-weeping battle.
This Huo Yuhao might have been young, but he was incredibly bold, and his combat power was so fierce.
Even she, in her Evil Fire state, had been no match for him.
Why did female Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Masters not seek men to release their fire?
The main reason was that no ordinary man could withstand it at all.
Therefore, when choosing a partner, they would usually only choose a Soul Master with an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, relying on Ultimate Ice to suppress their Evil Fire.
Otherwise, in this world, there was no man capable of defeating a woman in her Evil Fire state.
Except for this little freak, Huo Yuhao.
His means of suppressing Evil Fire, his combat strength that crushed those in an Evil Fire state, his powerful strength, and his peerless appearance.
Ma Xiaotao felt that the young man before her was the most, most, most, most suitable partner for her—without question.
As she thought this, Ma Xiaotao's cheeks reddened. She buried her head in Huo Yuhao's chest.
"I, Ma Xiaotao, have already given you my most precious thing... For the rest of my life, you're the only one for me."
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and gently laid Ma Xiaotao on the bed.
Half resisting and half welcoming, Ma Xiaotao began another earth-shaking, ghost-weeping battle with him.
