Chapter 88: Master and Disciple Conversation

Whimper~

An incredibly alluring moan escaped Ma Xiaotao's red lips. Just the sound of it could make one's impure thoughts surge. If paired with her completely naked body, few would be able to resist such temptation.

Unfortunately, the room was empty except for Ma Xiaotao, so no one could witness this breathtaking scene.

After briefly indulging in the feeling of being completely unburdened, Ma Xiaotao gradually regained her senses and realized she was stark naked, with her dress shattered into countless pieces on the bed.

A faint blush spread across Ma Xiaotao's fair cheeks. She quickly got up, put on her clothes, and sat back down on the bed.

She felt a bit dazed.

Ever since awakening her spirit, she couldn't remember the last time she had felt so light and free, like someone with severe nearsightedness suddenly regaining perfect vision, or someone plagued by illness suddenly recovering their health.

This sudden disappearance of her evil fire made her feel as if she were dreaming.

"What exactly happened? Why did my evil fire suddenly go out of control and then completely vanish?" Ma Xiaotao lowered her head, staring at her hands in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

The longer she remained conscious, the more the events she had experienced flashed through her mind like a slideshow.

This also made Ma Xiaotao realize why she suddenly felt as if her evil fire had dissipated, leaving her body feeling completely clear.

"That's right… I didn't listen to my teacher's advice and chose to continue cultivating despite the evil fire backlash, which caused me to lose control and my rationality…"

"And then…" Ma Xiaotao clutched her forehead, deep in thought. Fragments of memories flashed by, finally settling on a face filled with authority.

Golden hair, golden pupils…

The face became clearer, and Ma Xiaotao fully recalled what had happened.

That resolute and authoritative face, the shocking three spirit rings, and the white uniform that marked him as an outer court student.

An outer court student?

"It seems you're awake now. Come out." A gentle voice entered Ma Xiaotao's mind, startling her out of her thoughts.

"Teacher!"

Ma Xiaotao pushed open the door and immediately saw Yan Shaoze standing by the window, his back to her, gazing at the scenery of Shrek Lake.

"Xiaotao, you almost caused a huge disaster this time," Yan Shaoze turned around, sighed, and said softly.

"I'm sorry, teacher. Was it because of that outer court student? Is he alright?" Ma Xiaotao lowered her head guiltily. For some reason, if it had been an ordinary outer court student, even if she had crippled them, she wouldn't have felt much emotion.

But when it came to Lin Yun, she couldn't help but ask.

Perhaps it was because of that extreme cold that seemed to freeze her very soul. Lin Yun had indeed left a deep impression on her.

"Don't worry, he's fine. In fact, thanks to him, your evil fire has been completely suppressed. For the next six months to a year, you can cultivate without any worries," Yan Shaoze shook his head, a smile appearing on his face.

Just as he had guessed earlier, Ultimate Ice could effectively suppress the Phoenix Evil Fire. After examining Ma Xiaotao, he found that the flames within her body had been completely controlled.

Although this was only a temporary solution, and the evil fire would eventually resurface like bamboo shoots after rain, it was still good news.

After all…

They hadn't even achieved a temporary solution before, let alone a permanent one.

"Really? That's great!" Ma Xiaotao jumped up excitedly and eagerly asked Yan Shaoze, "Teacher, what method did he use to suppress my evil fire? Didn't you say only Ultimate Ice could completely suppress my evil fire? Does he have the Ultimate Ice attribute?"

Facing Ma Xiaotao's rapid-fire questions, Yan Shaoze smiled helplessly: "Don't rush. One at a time."

After pondering for a moment, he replied: "As you've seen, he did use Ultimate Ice to suppress the evil fire in your body. However, it wasn't because he himself possesses the Ultimate Ice attribute, but because he has tamed an Ice Jade Scorpion with the Ultimate Ice attribute. It was after being attacked by that Ice Jade Scorpion that your evil fire was suppressed."

"Ice Jade Scorpion…" Ma Xiaotao murmured softly, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.

Even if she were as brainless as her ample chest suggested and didn't care much about theoretical knowledge, she couldn't possibly not recognize the Ice Jade Scorpion, a super spirit beast.

The rankings of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts were practically a required course for them. To understand the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, one first needed to know their respective races. The seventh-ranked Ice Emperor was from the Ice Jade Scorpion clan.

(1st: Di Tian, 2nd: Evil Emperor, 3rd: Snow Emperor, 4th: Jade Emperor, 5th: Ten Thousand Demons King, 6th: Bear Lord, 7th: Ice Emperor, 8th: Red King, 9th: Purple Empress, 10th: Demon Spirit.)

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up: "Teacher, if that's the case, can't we just have him hand over that Ice Jade Scorpion…"

"?" Yan Shaoze tilted his head, looking at Ma Xiaotao with confusion.

He wondered if his disciple's brain had been fried by the Phoenix Evil Fire. Did she really think he hadn't considered this? If it were possible to get Lin Yun to hand over the Ice Jade Scorpion, he would have done it long ago without Ma Xiaotao needing to suggest it.

As early as two days ago, during the freshman assessment, when his subordinates reported that Lin Yun had tamed an Ice Jade Scorpion, Yan Shaoze had entertained this idea. But he quickly dismissed it.

Ultimate Strength paired with Ultimate Ice—what did that mean?

Yan Shaoze had no doubt that if he dared to make a move, the existence behind Lin Yun, who was stronger than him, would definitely teach him an unforgettable lesson.

If even he didn't dare to think about it, how could his disciple be so bold?

"Stop thinking about it. That's not something you should consider. It's best if you never entertain that thought again!" Yan Shaoze waved his hand, sternly cutting off Ma Xiaotao's fantasy.

Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips and nodded silently.

She didn't understand why her teacher's reaction was so intense. Could there really be a force that even Shrek Academy couldn't afford to provoke? Why did it feel like Yan Shaoze was so wary of that outer court student?

That said, Ma Xiaotao wasn't a complete fool. If Yan Shaoze said it couldn't be done, then it couldn't be done.

"Then if my evil fire acts up again, can I go to him for help?" Ma Xiaotao looked up, her tone filled with hope.

After experiencing this feeling of complete clarity, Ma Xiaotao never wanted to return to that muddled state, where her heart felt like it was being scorched by flames every day, burning her from the inside out.

And…

It was especially hard on the bedsheets. She had to change the bedding every few days.

"I'll ask him for you later. That little guy isn't easy to deal with," Yan Shaoze said.
