"Nannan, Nannan, did I do something wrong? Why are you so cold to me..."
"Nannan, don't go, I'll tell you some good news. My Spirit has evolved, it's really powerful. I'll definitely protect you well in the future!"
At the academy entrance, Xu Sanshi was still following Jiang Nannan.
"Oh, that powerful? I'm very curious, how did your Spirit evolve? Teach me?" Jiang Nannan felt an inexplicable disgust well up in her heart when she heard this. She narrowed her eyes and asked with a cold smile.
Since Xu Sanshi's Spirit had already awakened, it meant that he should have completed that disgusting ritual a few days ago...
Sensing Jiang Nannan's gaze, Xu Sanshi felt a chill in his heart.
"It was... naturally. After being around you for a long time, I evolved. Maybe I was moved by you..."
Xu Sanshi talked nonsense without his face turning red or his heart beating faster.
After all, it was naturally impossible for him to reveal the Xu family's secret. If Jiang Nannan really knew that he and another girl a few days ago...
Then it was likely impossible for him and Jiang Nannan in this lifetime.
"Oh."
Jiang Nannan just said 'oh' and turned to leave, completely ignoring Xu Sanshi, because she had something more important to do—investigating the black-robed person who helped her.
Since she returned, she had tried every means to investigate the new student information, even shamelessly lying to ask the new student homeroom teacher, but was told that no one's Spirit was a Wishing Tree. This made her a bit disappointed...
But she didn't think she saw wrong that night. Those hands, those shoes, the other person was definitely very young.
Although she herself didn't quite believe such a thing, her intuition told her that this person was definitely within Shrek Academy...
"Hey, Nannan, don't go, what's wrong..." Xu Sanshi naturally didn't know anything and quickly followed her like a piece of plaster.
The surrounding crowd had long been accustomed to this scene. Only many new students were very curious about the gossip between the two.
In the distance, Bai Zhou and Wang Dong were shopping together.
Bai Zhou had been out for so long that Wang Dong was almost bored to death, so he made Bai Zhou compensate his empty soul. He dragged Bai Zhou out shopping every day, and today they just happened to see this scene.
"This red-haired guy is really a simp, simping until he has nothing left." Wang Dong glanced at Xu Sanshi in the distance, his face full of disdain.
"That's right, so Wang Dong, you can't be a simp in the future." Bai Zhou gave Wang Dong a meaningful look.
"Tch, you're the simp. The people chasing this young master could circle Shrek entirely. Would I go simp for someone else?" Wang Dong flipped his flashy pink-blue hair, his face full of disdain.
Just then, a commotion suddenly occurred in the distance.
The next moment, a fiery red figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.
The person who came was a woman in red, tall and hot-bodied.
Her waist was very slender, her legs were straight and shapely, and a strong youthful aura assailed the senses.
The woman wore a red veil on her face. Her light pink eyes easily gave people a soul-stirring feeling, attracting everyone's gaze.
"Little Xu, come here."
The woman strode over with her long legs, directly arriving beside Xu Sanshi, and beckoned to Xu Sanshi.
"Ah... Xiao Tao Jie... can you go easy today..."
Xu Sanshi was originally still pestering Jiang Nannan, but the moment he saw Ma Xiaotao, he instantly wilted on the spot, revealing a look of despair.
"Alright, if you perform well, then I'll go a little easier." Ma Xiaotao walked over, gently patted Xu Sanshi's shoulder, appearing very magnanimous.
Her Phoenix Evil Fire was extremely powerful and special. Only Xu Sanshi's Mysterious Underworld Turtle's water attribute could suppress it.
Of course, Dual Cultivation with Xu Sanshi was impossible, so she could only use other methods...
For example, beat Xu Sanshi until he produces water.
Only then could she barely extinguish the fire using the other party's water attribute.
...
"Ma Xiaotao, I've finally waited for you..."
When Bai Zhou saw Ma Xiaotao, he immediately grinned. These days he had reduced the number of times he cultivated with Tang Ya, all for the sake of staking out Ma Xiaotao.
Calculating the time, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire should have erupted once, and was even encountered by Huo Yuhao, and then happened to be resolved by Tianmeng Iceworm.
Because Bai Zhou could sense that Huo Yuhao, who was selling grilled fish nearby, had already reached level 13 in cultivation, most likely after consuming a Soul Ascension Pill...
After all, the protagonist is the protagonist, their Luck is ridiculously strong.
Fortunately, Bai Zhou's persistent staking out finally paid off.
Just as Ma Xiaotao and Xu Sanshi were pulling at each other, Bai Zhou decisively took out a pill he had long prepared and put it into his pocket.
The pill he took out was called the 'Xuanbing Pill'. It was an ice-attribute pill wished into existence by Bai Zhou. It could completely absorb Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire. Of course, the effect only lasted for 7 days, and she would need to take the pill once every 7 days. After getting used to it, she would become addicted...
Of course, it's just pure addiction, like being addicted to playing games, with no side effects. It's just that because of Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, Ma Xiaotao's needs might be a bit high.
To control Ma Xiaotao, one pill was enough.
Ma Xiaotao pulled Xu Sanshi, intending to go to the academy's training room for a hearty battle. As she passed by Bai Zhou, she suddenly sensed something, and her gaze sharply fell upon Bai Zhou.
"What do you want to do!"
Before Ma Xiaotao could speak, Wang Dong was extremely vigilant, or rather, extremely protective of his food. He directly blocked in front of Bai Zhou, not allowing Ma Xiaotao to get close to Bai Zhou.
He knew Bai Zhou was a lustful guy and couldn't let Bai Zhou be tempted away by this flashy red-haired vixen.
"Junior student, do you have some ice-attribute treasure on you?" Ma Xiaotao completely ignored the flashy Wang Dong and instead stared fixedly at Bai Zhou, her face full of desire.
"Senior student, are you talking about this Xuanbing Pill?" Bai Zhou pretended not to know anything and took out the small blue pill from his pocket.
"Xuanbing Pill..."
Ma Xiaotao murmured, clearly having never heard of it, but her intuition told her that this pill had an extremely strong suppressive effect on her evil fire.
"What effect does this pill have? How much does it cost? I'll buy it!" Ma Xiaotao grabbed Bai Zhou's wrist, her eyes burning, as if she had discovered some great treasure.
"The effect of the Xuanbing Pill is to assist ice-attribute Spirit Masters in cultivation. I obtained it by chance. Since senior student likes it, I'll give it to you."
Bai Zhou smiled slightly and directly handed the Xuanbing Pill to Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao took the Xuanbing Pill. The moment she touched the Xuanbing Pill, her feelings became clearer, and the restlessness of the evil fire in her body suddenly paused for an instant.
Ma Xiaotao didn't hesitate and directly swallowed the Xuanbing Pill on the spot.
The Xuanbing Pill melted upon entering her mouth. A terrifying ice-cold power instantly exploded within Ma Xiaotao's body, spreading throughout her. In the blink of an eye, it completely suppressed her evil fire.
"This feeling..." Ma Xiaotao widened her beautiful eyes, her whole body almost feeling so good it could fly.
With the evil fire in her body, she constantly needed to expend energy to suppress it. If she didn't suppress it, it was likely to go rampant. Since having the evil fire, whether she was sleeping, eating, or cultivating, she dared not get too engrossed, fearing that the evil fire would go rampant if she wasn't careful.
Even Xu Sanshi's 'Mysterious Underworld Water' could only barely suppress it.
And now, her evil fire was completely suppressed.
This made her recall her maidenhood, the time when she was carefree and could Cultivate without any worries or restraints...
