"Mother, you..."
Hearing Ye Xishui's words, Zhongli Wu shuddered from head to toe.
He had never imagined that a boy from the Earth Dragon Sect could turn their entire Holy Spirit Cult upside down.
In the end, they even had to trouble a Limit Douluo like Ye Xishui to take action!
"Heh, don't underestimate him!"
"Even Long Xiaoyao thinks highly of him!"
As expected of the Holy Spirit Cult's supreme elder.
Ye Xishui had her own standards of judgment.
Luo Feng was growing far too quickly.
Moreover, his power had already clearly shown that it could counter Evil Soul Masters.
If they let this boy grow, he would surely become the Holy Spirit Cult's strongest adversary.
They had to pluck the fruit before it fully ripened!
"Xishui, you..."
Perhaps he had overheard the mother and son's conversation.
Long Xiaoyao could not help showing himself as well.
He greatly appreciated Luo Feng's talent.
But faced with the woman he loved and wanted to protect, Long Xiaoyao found himself wavering.
It truly was a painful dilemma!
"Xiaoyao, I know you can't bear to act! So let me handle it this time!"
"If that boy is willing to join our Holy Spirit Cult, all the better. If he isn't..."
Ye Xishui believed she had more than enough ability to keep Long Xiaoyao in hand.
Hearing this, Long Xiaoyao could only nod silently.
"All right, I won't get involved this time. Be careful. That boy's Soul Skills..."
But before Long Xiaoyao could finish speaking.
Only a thin veil of red mist remained before him.
Ye Xishui was not merely a peerless beauty; she was also a level 99 Limit Douluo.
She was not so easily killed!
Of course, Luo Feng had no idea what terrifying hunter had set her sights on him.
Only one thought occupied his mind.
Catch up with his sweet little wife and mother-in-law as quickly as possible.
Then the three of them could return home as one happy family.
As for what would happen next?
Or what madness the Sun Moon Empire might get up to?
None of that concerned him!
But when was life ever such smooth sailing?
He had raced ahead for less than twenty li.
When a plume of black smoke appeared before him.
It looked strangely familiar!
"Is that...?"
"Ma Xiaotao?"
"Didn't this girl leave with Shrek?"
As it turned out, although the people from Shrek Academy had also escaped through a secret passage.
Ma Xiaotao had been controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult for so long that this darkness could not be eradicated in such a short time.
During their escape!
This little phoenix's evil fire had erupted again.
Then she had broken away from the main group.
She had wandered alone through this wilderness, charging about aimlessly.
Because her Phoenix Martial Soul allowed her to fly so fast.
And search parties from the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult were constantly prowling nearby.
Huo Yuhao and the others had been unable to find Ma Xiaotao in the meantime.
Instead, Luo Feng had run into her again.
"Must be fate!"
"I haven't found my wife, but I've stumbled across my concubine out here in the wilderness!"
Watching the little woman alternate between lucidity and madness.
Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
Then he took the initiative and approached her!
"Hey, we meet again!"
"Did you miss me?"
Ma Xiaotao was in a state that was difficult to describe.
A sliver of clarity remained in her mind.
But her body kept involuntarily releasing those wicked flames.
Only after she discharged all this energy could she recover her true self.
And Luo Feng's appearance had provoked her at just the right moment.
"It's you!"
"You caught me off guard last time. That didn't count!"
"Let's do this again!"
"Phoenix Fire Line!"
Ma Xiaotao truly was out of her mind.
She opened fire the moment they met.
But by now, Luo Feng had long since figured out this little woman's tricks.
He did not even need to deliberately defend himself.
He merely drew in the pair of dragon wings on his back a little.
Angling himself into a sideslip in midair.
He easily dodged the line of fire.
And swiftly closed the distance between them!
"Are you trying to murder your own husband?"
"I thought Shrek had cured you!"
Taking advantage of his unrivaled speed.
Luo Feng even swept past Ma Xiaotao and teased a lock of her hair with his right index finger.
"You smell wonderful!"
"Just what I'd expect from the concubine I've chosen!"
"You, die!"
"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
For some inexplicable reason.
Ma Xiaotao became especially agitated in Luo Feng's presence.
The moment she saw him, she flew into a murderous frenzy.
She wished she could turn every bit of Soul Power in her body into terrifying destructive force and blast it straight into his face!
Perhaps they were simply born adversaries.
It was one of those inexplicable bonds between a man and a woman.
"Hahaha, impressive!"
"But it won't work on me!"
Had he still been in his previous state, at a level somewhere in the fifties.
Luo Feng would have had to think twice about facing this frenzied version of Ma Xiaotao.
But now, he could handle her with ease.
"Watch my hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill, Myriad Things Cannot Invade!"
Once again, that sturdy dragon armor appeared.
Once he put it on, even if he stood right in the heart of that meteor shower.
He would not suffer the slightest injury.
Unless Ma Xiaotao had already reached the strength of a Limit Douluo, she could not break through Luo Feng's defenses.
"You... how could you...?"
After she unleashed that string of powerful attacks.
The corrosive force of the evil fire also weakened a little.
This allowed Ma Xiaotao to regain some clarity.
She remembered what had happened in the arena before.
Luo Feng noticed this as well.
So instead, he struck a provocative pose!
"Heh, keep going!"
"Unleash all your Soul Skills!"
Looking at the man before her, his expression so relaxed.
Ma Xiaotao, who was gradually regaining control of her body, chose to stop attacking instead.
"You... stop grinning like that!"
"Do you have any idea how much trouble you've stirred up?"
Although she had now escaped the Holy Spirit Cult.
The mark Zhongli Wu had placed on Ma Xiaotao was still there.
It also allowed her to sense certain powerful presences within the cult.
Such as Ye Xishui.
"What's wrong? What could possibly happen?"
Hearing Ma Xiaotao's anxious tone.
The smile slowly faded from Luo Feng's face.
Had she sensed something?
"There's no time to explain. If you trust me, come with me now!"
She glanced toward the distant passage.
Ma Xiaotao suddenly chose a northwesterly direction, spread her wings, and sped away.
From time to time, she looked back, signaling for Luo Feng to follow!
"All right, I'll trust you this once!"
"The concubine I've chosen certainly wouldn't hurt me!"
"You!"
Faced with Luo Feng, Ma Xiaotao truly had no words.
Although she had only agreed to that ridiculous wager because Zhongli Wu had been controlling her.
The memories deep within Ma Xiaotao's heart could not be washed away.
Not long after the two figures disappeared.
A cloud of red mist enveloped the spot where they had just been.
Needless to say, Ye Xishui had arrived.
"Heh!"
"An unexpected bonus!"
"To think our Fire Phoenix Saintess is actually with that boy!"
"Perfect. I'll slaughter Luo Feng and bring our saintess back! Two birds with one stone!"
Facing the direction in which the two figures had long since vanished.
Ye Xishui remained unhurried.
She seemed to have firmly locked onto her targets' heading already.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng and Ma Xiaotao also sensed the terrifying surge of blood energy behind them.
"I never imagined she would really come in person!"
"If we can't escape, don't worry about me. Leave on your own!"
As though she had made an extraordinarily difficult decision.
Ma Xiaotao suddenly stopped in midair.
She seemed to want to buy Luo Feng some time.
What exactly was going on inside this little woman's head?
"Ma Xiaotao, what are you doing?"
"Do you think I'd let a woman serve as my shield?"
He saw the fear in Ma Xiaotao's eyes.
Luo Feng simply stopped as well.
He stepped forward and took Ma Xiaotao's delicate hand.
"Don't be an idiot! Get out of here!"
"Even if they catch me, they won't do anything to me. You still have a chance to escape..."
Ma Xiaotao really did have a knife-sharp tongue and a tofu-soft heart.
Deep down, she was still quite tender.
But before Luo Feng could answer, the red mist caught up with them!
Then a mature woman's voice drifted out of it, pleasant to the ear yet chilling to the bone.
"Hehe, how touching!"
"Who would have thought the Holy Maiden had such a self-sacrificing streak in her heart!"
"Unfortunately, you can't protect this brat!"
Ye Xishui certainly had some tricks up her sleeve, catching up with them so quickly.
Yet faced with that terrifying red mist...
Luo Feng not only showed no panic, but a mocking smile spread across his face.
"Well, well, to meet the Holy Spirit Cult's greatest beauty-I must have earned this good fortune over three lifetimes!"
"But... you were born a beauty, so why become a thief?"
"What a shame!"
