Soon after, Cao Yu summoned his Shadow Clone, because he had guessed that some important figures would be arriving soon, and he could use it to make a show of things.

" Tian Meng, get up and get to work."

"Didn't you say it wasn't my business? What do you need me for?"

Having finally fallen asleep, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was naturally not in a good mood when she was woken up again.

Cao Yu pointed at the woman in red and said, "Use your Tian Meng's Finger to help her cool down."

"Her current state is very unstable; she could easily suffer a qi deviation."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm glanced at it and said, "Oh! So you know how to be chivalrous now? I think you're just a lecherous fellow, hmph!"

"Why do you understand me so well?" A thought suddenly popped into Cao Yu's mind.

He then said...

"Hurry up, stop dawdling."

The Body Immobilization Technique spell cannot be prolonged; there are still two minutes left before its effect ends.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm channeled energy into Cao Yu's fingers, and he pointed his index finger forward. Instantly, a beam of icy blue light flashed and disappeared, heading straight for the woman in red.

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply under the extreme chill emanating from Cao Yu.

In the midst of the fierce collision, her body jerked violently, and then a loud phoenix cry suddenly rang out.

A Fire Phoenix hovered behind her, its intense light blinding.

Dark red fire and deep blue ice mingled and neutralized each other.

With a hiss, the flames quickly dissipated, and the enormous Fire Phoenix lunged forward, using its massive body to block the woman in red.

Amidst the deafening roar, the crimson flames began to recede, and the woman in red was enveloped in a layer of icy blue.

Take the Cupid's Wings from the Ring of Destiny. Wearing them grants temporary flight ability, but they were just sitting in my Storage Ring collecting dust when I was a child and I hardly ever used them.

Wow, what perfume smells like?

He flew over and hugged her tightly. The feel of her was... wonderful, and she smelled amazing too.

Cao Yu looked down at the person in his arms, his eyes lingering there for a moment, reluctant to leave, until he felt a burning sensation in his nose and finally stopped.

He carried her back to the shore. By then, the immobilization effect had worn off, and she went limp, collapsing into Cao Yu's arms.

Wang Dong was speechless and said, "Why didn't you tell me to go and hug her? I can fly too!"

"With such small wings, aren't you afraid of falling into the sea?"

Suddenly he realized something and said, "Oh, I get it! You're trying to take advantage of her, aren't you?"

"Yes."

Cao Yu said those words without any hesitation.

Wang Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Shameless!"

Cao Yu turned his head and asked, "Jealous?"

"No way!" Wang Dong turned his head away, not wanting to pay him any attention.

asshole!

Why is this guy so shameless?

Thinking about this, Wang Dong suddenly felt a jumble of emotions.

In the distance, at Sea God Lake, a dozen figures arrived at an astonishing speed, reaching the shore in the blink of an eye.

The elderly man in white at the head of the group immediately spotted the woman in red who had collapsed in Cao Yu.

His gaze then fell upon the man in black, and in an instant, his memories surfaced like unraveling silk.

"Men in black... the Cao Clan?"

Before he could figure it out, a person walked out and looked at Cao Yu and the other person with a serious expression.

"This uncle looks kind; he probably hasn't killed anyone in three days," Cao Yu thought to himself as their eyes met.

The kind-looking uncle asked, "What are you all doing here? What just happened? Tell me the truth!"

The old man in white hurriedly stepped forward to stop the kind-looking uncle and shouted at him.

" Yan Shaozhe! Get out of my way, this is none of your business to speak."

"And such a fierce attitude, where did you learn that from?"

Uncle Mian stepped aside, staring at the old man in white with a frustrated look in his eyes. "Isn't this what you taught me?"

The old man in white walked up to Cao Yu, glanced at the man in black beside him, and then asked in a gentle tone.

"Your name is Cao Yu, right?"

Cao Yu nodded and began to observe carefully.

With his long, unkempt hair and the wine gourd hanging from his waist, Cao Yu vaguely guessed the white-robed old man's identity and probed him slightly.

" Xuan Zi, what's the deal with this senior student?"

Xuan Zi asked incredulously, "You know me?"

"Hi! I already knew before I even arrived, after all, you're the person I admire most."

"Hahaha! Then this old man will take the liberty of calling you Little Yu." It has to be said, this kid is quite good at flattery. Although I don't know if those words are true or not, at least they hit the nail on the head.

"Then... Little Yu, you weren't hurt just now, were you?" Xuan Zi carefully examined the two of them and found no wounds on them. Finally, Xuan Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems they were stopped by that man in black, otherwise it would have been a disaster.

"No, but this senior student..."

Xuan Zi said helplessly, "Hey! Your Senior Sister Xiaotao Tao's Martial Soul is a bit special. She needs someone to help suppress it when she cultivates, otherwise the consequences of the Evil Fire entering her body will be very serious."

"But she's just too willful. Today, while we weren't around, she secretly started cultivating, almost causing a disaster."

Xuan Zi didn't hide these things from Cao Yu and the other man, after all, he had witnessed the power behind the Cao Clan.

As for the person next to him, it must be this kid's roommate, Wang Dong! He's pretty much the same as the person in the file, and he trusts the people from the Clear Sky Sect.

Moreover, through his observation, he discovered that Ma Xiaotao also carried a faint aura of extreme cold, so perhaps this kid could solve Ma Xiaotao's problem.

With this expectation in mind, Xuan Zi began to ponder how to ask Cao Yu for help.

How about giving him Soul Bone that's around 100,000 years old?

The Cao Clan family is large and powerful; this kid probably wouldn't even look at them.

What if it were Soul Tool?

That won't work either, since Shrek items are also scarce.

The only thing worth mentioning is the Soul Bone.

Then... how about we betroth Xiaotao Tao to him?

Wouldn't this perfectly eliminate the negative effects of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul?

No way! There's an age gap.

Moreover, I've heard that this kid is already the son-in-law of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the Tang Sect, and the Star Luo Imperial Family.

It's not very ethical to try and woo someone else's son-in-law.

After much thought, Xuan Zi still couldn't come up with a good solution.

Before he could speak, Cao Yu spoke first.

"Hmm... Xuan Zi, my Martial Soul happens to be Ice Martial Soul with extreme cold."

"Ahem... I have an idea. If Xiaotao can't resist her Evil Fire, you could try having her come to me."

Xuan Zi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you after all that effort!

I never expected this kid's Martial Soul to be an Ice Martial Soul with extreme coldness. Isn't that a perfect coincidence?

Xuan Zi looked at him eagerly and said excitedly, "Thank you very much, Little Yu."

"By the way, what kind of compensation do you want?"

Cao Yu looked at him seriously and asked, "Do you have... that? Never mind, it's free!"
