"Huh?"
Ma Xiaotao froze.
Then her face flushed scarlet in an instant, as though she were about to ripen all the way through.
If the people from the Inner Court had seen Ma Xiaotao, known as the "Flame Maniac," looking so bashful and girlish, their jaws would have hit the floor.
"Hurry up. Stop dawdling."
Gu Yunxiao said.
"Oh... okay." Ma Xiaotao answered and obediently sat on the sofa, her cheeks pink and her eyes wandering, feeling terribly self-conscious.
Gu Yunxiao could not be bothered to dwell on it. He stepped forward, raised his right hand, and pressed his joined index and middle fingers against the spot between Ma Xiaotao's eyebrows.
His actions puzzled Ma Xiaotao.
Gu Yunxiao had neither mobilized his soul power nor used his martial soul, much less channeled ultimate ice into her. How was he going to suppress her evil fire?
"Ice God, I'll leave this to you." Gu Yunxiao sent a thought. Just suppress it enough to keep it from flaring up for six months. We can keep stringing her along afterward.
Shrek Academy offering the Dragon Core as payment was one thing; whether he was willing to resolve the problem properly was another.
Besides, he had plans and arrangements of his own for Ma Xiaotao.
"You really are wicked."
The Ice God made that dry remark but said nothing more, casually releasing a wisp of cold energy that flowed through Gu Yunxiao's fingers into Ma Xiaotao's body.
Ma Xiaotao felt it immediately.
"This cold energy..."
Ma Xiaotao's mind trembled with shock.
It was only a wisp of cold energy, yet it felt utterly terrifying, nothing like something an ordinary soul master could possess.
Moreover, the aura that flickered within it was horrifying too, several times more formidable than that of a Titled Douluo.
