"What a sharp-tongued brat!"

"Aren't you afraid to stand before me?"

Ye Xishui might have been a figure from two hundred years ago.

But because she practiced the Evil Soul Art.

And had always sacrificed her followers' lives.

It was almost impossible to find any trace of the passing years on this woman.

Anyone who knew nothing of her background.

And saw Ye Xishui now.

Would, at most, have taken her for a young woman in her early thirties.

That was the age when a woman was at her most alluring.

And at the very peak of her beauty.

"Supreme Elder, this has nothing to do with him. I'm willing to go back with you!"

Ma Xiaotao knew Ye Xishui's character better than anyone.

Whenever this woman flaunted her beauty.

It was usually when her urge to kill was strongest!

"Saintess, that's a good girl!"

"If your young lover is willing to join the Holy Spirit Cult, I could consider sparing him!"

Seeing Ma Xiaotao bow her head of her own accord.

Ye Xishui's smile grew even more smug.

As the only female Limit Douluo in this world.

She possessed incomparable confidence.

Even if Luo Feng unleashed Instant Beauty right in front of her, Ye Xishui could easily dodge it.

Such was the might of a Limit Douluo.

Yet this old woman had no idea that Luo Feng had never intended to confront her head-on.

He had simply wanted to meet her.

The most beautiful old witch of the Peerless Tang Sect era!

"Join your Holy Spirit Cult? Don't be ridiculous!"

"I'm not interested!"

The next instant, Luo Feng suddenly wrapped an arm tightly around Ma Xiaotao's shoulders.

His Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone skill activated at the same time!

"Watch this-[Light-Time Void Escape]!"

Buzz!

This was the powerful teleportation skill he had only recently acquired.

It could take someone along and instantly leap thirty li away.

Throughout the process, their presence would be completely concealed, leaving no trace to follow.

With Luo Feng's current soul power, he could sustain roughly three consecutive jumps.

This was also a life-saving soul skill to be used only when there was no other choice.

"What?"

"What kind of technique is that?"

Almost in the blink of an eye.

Ye Xishui sensed what he intended to do.

But by the time she moved to stop him, only a flash of emerald green passed before her eyes.

Then their presences vanished without a trace, like mud dissolving into the sea.

This truly shocked Ye Xishui.

In all of the Douluo Continent, she had never heard of such a soul skill.

It was as though those two had disappeared from the world altogether.

Even the divine sense of a level 99 Limit Douluo like her could not detect them.

"Long Xiaoyao! Come out!"

In her fury, the old woman began calling for outside help again.

And the very next moment, Long Xiaoyao actually appeared, despite having previously said he would not come.

"This is spatial power, purer even than my own origin power. They're already a hundred li away!"

Long Xiaoyao was also a master of space.

He could move between locations in a short time.

But he used a soul skill that shortened the distance he needed to fly, which fell far short of teleportation.

"What? A hundred li away..."

"Is this the Jade Dragon King's power?"

Upon hearing Long Xiaoyao's explanation.

Ye Xishui gritted her teeth in hatred.

If I'd known, I should have struck immediately. Why did I waste so much breath on those two brats?

Now look!

The cooked duck has flown away.

Who knew when she would get another chance to catch those two?

Meanwhile.

As the scenery around her changed in an instant.

Ma Xiaotao had not even had time to react.

She only remembered three flashes before her eyes.

Then they arrived in a mountain range along the Sun Moon Empire's border.

In her alarm, Ma Xiaotao had involuntarily thrown herself into Luo Feng's arms.

"Heh, it's all right now!"

"Open your eyes!"

"That Supreme Elder of yours won't be catching up anytime soon!"

Feeling the softness in his arms.

Rather than pushing her away, Luo Feng brazenly placed his hand against Ma Xiaotao's back.

And held her even tighter.

"Ah, you!"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Aren't you already my concubine? Don't tell me you're going back on your word?"

Seeing Ma Xiaotao struggle.

Luo Feng smiled.

And unceremoniously leaned down to kiss her forehead!

Smack!

"Ah, you!"

At this unexpected contact.

Ma Xiaotao froze instantly, as though struck by lightning!

Yet the man spoke as if he were entirely in the right.

"You already agreed to be my concubine. Isn't this perfectly normal?"

"Don't tell me you expect me to prepare a candlelit bridal chamber for you, too?"

Hearing Luo Feng's words, Ma Xiaotao found herself unable to answer.

If she were his principal wife.

They would indeed have to follow the formalities of parental consent and a matchmaker's arrangements.

But for a concubine, the rules did not seem quite so rigid.

And, strictly speaking.

Ever since she lost that arena match, this had already been their relationship.

"Haha, what's with that expression?"

"Are you about to cry?"

Perhaps because he noticed that Ma Xiaotao had stopped moving, Luo Feng suddenly felt he had gone a little too far.

So he reluctantly released the beauty in his arms.

"Ah!"

She was startled at first.

Her face flushed bright red, yet she kept stealing glances at the man from the corners of her eyes.

In truth, after their previous two clashes.

And their shared escape.

Ma Xiaotao had already begun to develop an unusual affection for the man before her.

Added to their earlier wager.

Even if Luo Feng really did something more outrageous, Ma Xiaotao was not sure whether she would resist!

A woman's thoughts were always the hardest to fathom!

"I... where are we going next?"

Perhaps to conceal her fluster.

Ma Xiaotao took two deep breaths before asking.

But the woman did not realize.

That she had already lost her own sense of direction.

Without even noticing it, she was already planning to follow this man!

"I was planning to return to the Earth Dragon Sect. You can come back with me!"

"But if you insist on returning to Shrek, I can take you there on the way!"

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's question.

Luo Feng answered without hesitation.

The current situation within the Sun Moon Empire was probably little different from the original timeline.

With Xu Tianran's rise to power, the Sun Moon Empire was bound to attack the Three Great Empires.

The next time he encountered those people, it would probably be on the battlefield.

"I... can I go back with you? Your wife..."

Almost instinctively.

Ma Xiaotao had already assigned herself a place.

But as soon as those words left her mouth, she startled herself.

How did this happen?

Couldn't she, as a young woman, show a little more reserve?

Was she already taking their relationship for granted?

"It's fine. Everyone in our Earth Dragon Sect is very friendly. You've seen that yourself!"

"Since you've brought it up, let's head back to the Earth Dragon Sect first."

Having said that, Luo Feng stepped forward again to take Ma Xiaotao's hand.

The little beauty only drew back slightly before obediently offering her hand.

She was a woman, after all!

She would always need to find somewhere to belong.

Luo Feng was tremendously powerful, with limitless potential.

Nor was he like those awful men who would take a mile when given an inch.

If she truly had a man like this, Ma Xiaotao would have no regrets in this life!

As for Shrek Academy!

Ma Xiaotao actually felt deeply guilty.

When the Holy Spirit Cult came to seize her, it had indirectly led to the death of Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo and master of the Sea God Pavilion.

And during everything that followed, Ma Xiaotao had harmed many people while she was out of control.

All of this left her unable to make peace with herself anytime soon.

So finding somewhere new to start over.

Might be the best redemption for Ma Xiaotao!

After a complicated internal struggle.

Ma Xiaotao clenched her pearly teeth and nodded softly.

"All right. I'll go with you!"

"To the ends of the earth, I'll follow you..."
