Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, and what immediately caught the eye were her slightly exaggerated breasts—firm, high, and seemingly about to burst forth...
Her slender waist follows the strict golden ratio, with an arc that extends to her hips, like a car entering a bend where the curve is suddenly amplified.
"Senior, please have a seat. Yuhao, three more orders of grilled fish, please. Senior, would you like it spicy or savory?"
Cao Yu moved aside slightly, and the senior student sat very close to him.
"Spicy." She gave him a seductive look with her beautiful light pink eyes.
Cao Yu continued shouting to Huo Yuhao, " Yuhao, all three are spicy!"
"Alright, Brother Yu."
Ma Xiaotao was so engrossed in chatting with Cao Yu that she only noticed Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei when she glanced at them casually.
So he said, "Xiao Xu, junior Bei Bei, you're here for grilled fish too?"
Xu Sanshi nodded. He and Bei Bei both seemed to have some fear in their eyes, and upon closer observation, they found that some of the Shrek students in the store also had the same fear.
"Yes, ever since I ate the grilled fish at Young Master Cao's restaurant, I haven't been able to bear eating it anywhere else."
Ma Xiaotao asked doubtfully, " Young Master Cao? Could it be Little Yu's little brother?"
Xu Sanshi replied, "Yes, that's right."
Bei Bei praised, "I heard that those shops next door were also opened by junior Cao Yu. He's really amazing."
Ma Xiaotao smiled slightly and said, " Little Yu, I didn't expect you to have such abilities. Is your family in business?"
Cao Yu nodded and said, "Pretty much. Once you get to Star Luo City, I'll show you around the city. I know that place very well."
Everyone suddenly realized why he could open a store so quickly; it turned out he was rich!
However, it takes some skill to run a store so well.
As they were talking, the freshly grilled fish was served.
Holding a skewer of grilled fish in her hand, Ma Xiaotao slowly began to eat.
She ate very carefully and gracefully, but after she finished eating the fish, the fish bones mysteriously disappeared from her hand without leaving a trace, and her fingers weren't greasy at all.
Cao Yu could sense a faint fluctuation of Soul Power within her body, indicating that the fish bones and grease had been melted away by her Evil Fire.
She quickly finished the grilled fish, then looked at Cao Yu with her beautiful eyes and said, " Little Yu, I'll need your help coming with me later."
Hearing this, Wang Dong's heart tightened. He silently watched the senior student, thinking to himself, "Is this guy surnamed Cao going to take advantage of me again?"
After the encounter at Sea God Lake, Cao Yu's Ice Martial Soul successfully suppressed the Evil Fire that erupted within Ma Xiaotao's body. This allowed her to be free from the influence of the Evil Fire for the past three months, thus reducing her worries and giving her more time to focus on cultivation.
However, as time went by, the ice attribute remaining in her body was gradually refined by the Phoenix Flame and lost its effect, and the backlash began to appear.
So she came here today specifically to ask Cao Yu for help.
After asking around for a long time, Ma Xiaotao finally found Cao Yu in this store.
" Xiaotao, I'm finished eating, let's go." Without keeping her waiting too long, Cao Yu quickly finished the remaining grilled fish and left with Ma Xiaotao.
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he seemed a little impatient.
The inner demon within me began to roar incessantly.
"Damn it! He abandoned me again and ran off without even saying goodbye."
Xu Sanshi chuckled and joked, "Stop looking, they're all gone."
"Senior, are we starting yet?"
Cao Yu seemed to be starting to look forward to it, his eyes fixed on his senior, observing her next move.
In the dimly lit secret room, Ma Xiaotao led him to sit down on the wooden platform.
Her pale pink eyes met those expectant eyes, and she said gently, "Please sit down."
Seeing that the two wooden platforms were about a meter apart, Cao Yu seemed to sense that something was wrong.
Before he could even catch his breath, he saw his senior with her back to him, and her beautiful voice drifted into his ears.
" Little Yu, let's begin."
"Activate your Soul Power. Don't worry, this secret room is specially designed; you don't need to worry about your energy dissipating."
Cao Yu gazed at her graceful back and wanted to say to his senior, "Seriously? You're even wary of gentlemen?"
How can such a long distance be appropriate?
It would be better if we were closer; otherwise, how could he take advantage of us?
Now look what's happened! We're a meter apart, and we can't even touch each other's backs. My poor hands!
Cao Yu raised his hands, feeling somewhat like crying, then helplessly shut down his Consciousness Shielding and woke up the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who was sleeping soundly in his sea of consciousness.
He was already looking forward to good things to come, and even specially purchased the special ability of Consciousness Shielding from the System Shop.
Once the Consciousness Shielding is activated, people like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Elder Yi will be unable to perceive what is happening outside.
And no external entity could intrude into his consciousness, much less peek into his inner thoughts.
It's like a signal blocker, and an unsolvable one at that.
This feature is perfect for someone like Cao Yu who enjoys doing bad things, so when he saw that the System Shop had added this ability, he didn't hesitate to place an order.
Sigh! I never expected this!
In the end, Cao miscalculated.
" Little Yu, why haven't you started yet?"
Ma Xiaotao glanced back at him, her pale pink eyes filled with confusion. Cao Yu straightened up and forced a smile, saying, "Senior, don't you think... this distance is a bit too far?"
"Hmm? Little Yu~ Do you want to get closer?" Ma Xiaotao glanced at him indifferently, her eyes seemingly smiling, but the smile was anything but ordinary.
Cao Yu felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze and hurriedly said, "No... no need, this distance is perfect."
At this moment, he was completely at ease.
Because he knew exactly what that smile meant.
"Okay, let's begin." Ma Xiaotao nodded, then turned back, muttering to herself with her head down, "Hmph! A guy who's all talk and no action."
The scene from three months ago seemed to reappear in her mind, and the thought of being held in the arms of this handsome little guy made her face blush.
Before long, the familiar ice-attribute Soul Power began to act on her.
The temperature in the entire chamber dropped by several tens of degrees as a result, but soon rose again. The Phoenix Evil Fire within her body kept fighting against this extreme cold.
The whole room was filled with a hissing sound.
As more and more ice-attribute Soul Power flowed into her body, her Martial Soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix, gradually weakened. The flames reignited, only to be extinguished again by the cold air.
She murmured softly, "Mmm."
