Chapter 19 Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan
"Siyuan, are we really allowed to eat here?"
Ji Siyuan picked up the food and started eating: "Why not? This is a perk we're given. We should enjoy it."
After obtaining their special identities, Ji Siyuan brought Huo Yuhao to enjoy the food.
The losses we suffered a few days ago are being made up for today.
Putting everything else aside, Ji Siyuan's experience with food was quite drastic.
He needs to find something better, from gourmet food to ordinary food.
The core area is much better than the ordinary area.
Centuries-old earthworm tendons, moonlight rice—these are all good things.
Both of them felt an increase in power from the digestion process within their bodies.
Over time, the effects far surpass those of regular food.
Huo Yuhao patted his belly: "I feel so satisfied. I even have time to meditate and cultivate."
"Come on, cultivation requires a balance of relaxation and rest." Ji Siyuan decided to relax and take the supplements that evening.
Solidified whale glue can definitely be melted.
The two strolled along the shore of Poseidon Lake. Compared to the abstract sculptures of the Seven Monsters, Ji Siyuan preferred Poseidon Lake.
At least for now, the Tang San he possesses likes this name very much.
Tang San: "Those statues over there annoy me. Siyuan, try to avoid going there in the future."
"Oh dear, Uncle, this won't do! There's your statue here, you're not appreciating it properly."
"Hmph, you're letting me appreciate this commemoration of that disgusting person? If it were me, I'd just kneel down."
Not only Tang San felt disgusted, but he did too.
Compared to statues, he still felt more comfortable with natural scenery.
Ripples spread across the blue lake.
Huo Yuhao pointed to the houses in the distance: "Siyuan, are those the inner courtyards? Siyuan?"
"I guess so."
"I've heard that the inner academy is full of outstanding senior students. Do you think I, or even senior brother Beibei, can get into the inner academy? Even senior brother Beibei isn't a student in the inner academy."
Ji Siyuan didn't know how to answer, thinking to himself: Others may not know your potential, but surely I do?
Just as he was thinking about how to respond to Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes made a new discovery: "Huh? There's a ball of fire rushing over there."
Fire? How could there be fire rushing towards us from over there?
Could it be Ma Xiaotao?
Is my luck really that bad?
No, this isn't luck; it's drawn to Huo Yuhao by his aura.
"Run!"
The flame visibly magnified.
Even the air above the lake was rippled.
Ma Xiaotao was very fast; there wasn't enough time for the two of them to escape.
Huo Yuhao wants to use his second martial soul.
The martial spirit was activated, and nine lotus seeds formed a flame barrier that stood up.
Ma Xiaotao, her body engulfed in flames, crashed violently into the flame barrier.
"Fire Demon Vortex!"
The intense flames surged toward Ma Xiaotao, only to be torn apart in a second.
Just when he was about to give up, a ray of moonlight fell and stopped Ma Xiaotao.
Her long, black hair cascaded down as she watched the intense flames burn on Ma Xiaotao's body.
The standard soul ring configuration is two yellow, two purple, and three black, but the final round features a blood-red 100,000-year soul ring.
Tang San: "Good talent. Can be nurtured."
Ji Siyuan: "You scared me to death! I thought you were going to say something like, 'You can take it now,' or something like that, Uncle Tang."
"How could that be? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would instigate you?"
"Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Sometimes you'll give me orders directly."
Tang San was a little dissatisfied: "You're still taking your time with this girl of destiny who already has feelings for you. If I add two more, you'll be exhausted."
"Uncle, I'm already building up our relationship, so please don't give me any more tasks. How about waiting for two more?"
"These two talents seem alright, but they both have some issues."
Ji Siyuan: "Is this a little problem? This is a big problem. This is a complete qi deviation, unable to control one's martial spirit. It's a failure."
"What about the other one?"
"If I'm not mistaken, she seems to be someone else's fiancée; at least that's what the book I read said."
"Then we don't need any of them, you can just get one plus three. Now that we've settled on four, you might be able to find a few more later."
……
The moonlight fell on Ma Xiaotao, simply suppressing her.
A beautiful woman descended in the moonlight: "Are you two alright?"
Ji Siyuan was chatting with Tang San, while Huo Yuhao was observing Ji Siyuan.
"I am Zhang Lexuan, a student from the Inner Academy. Can you keep this a secret today? The academy will compensate you."
The two still didn't respond, but Huo Yuhao kept poking him.
He shook his head and stopped talking to Tang San.
"Senior, may I ask what the compensation is?"
There's no emotion involved, just pure self-interest.
They're about to get hurt, shouldn't they demand proper compensation?
Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "What kind of compensation do those two juniors want? I can ask the college about it."
"The academy keeping evil spirit masters is a big deal. There should be some good compensation for this." Ji Siyuan decided to take this matter seriously and try to get more in return.
"Yes, Junior Brother Ji Siyuan, right? What you're saying isn't right. This senior sister of yours isn't an evil spirit master. She just has a problem with her martial spirit, and the academy is still trying to find a way to deal with it."
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened immediately. How did she know Ji Siyuan?
Before the compensation could be agreed upon, Ma Xiaotao, who had been suppressed by the moonlight, woke up.
He woke up but was not fully awake; he remained disoriented.
The piercing screams didn't sound like screams of agony, but rather an outpouring of emotion.
The scorching flames on her body caused her some pain; it wasn't her fire, but Ji Siyuan's fire.
She locked onto Ji Siyuan with pinpoint accuracy; that flame was not only pain but also deliciousness. She lunged forward, wanting to possess the pure flame, but was once again suppressed by the moonlight.
Ma Xiaotao is no match for Zhang Lexuan.
As the crescent moon grew fuller, its light fell like flowing water, trapping Ma Xiaotao within its embrace.
"Junior Brother Ji Siyuan, could you please retract your Extreme Flame? It's easy for me to hurt this senior sister if I make a move."
"This matter needs to be settled separately."
"How about I treat you to dinner?"
Huo Yuhao immediately jumped in: "No way. We can't go eat."
Tang San: "Tsk, I told you to just make your move. You saw it, didn't you?"
Ignoring Tang San's assessment, Ji Siyuan said, "It seems my roommate thinks it's not good enough. Senior, could you get me a Soul Ascension Pill?"
Zhang Lexuan frowned: "You want to use it?"
It is said that there is no cost to improving cultivation, but there is no research to prove that there is a cost.
She did not want Ji Siyuan to use it.
Ji Siyuan pointed at Huo Yuhao.
She immediately understood: "Yes."
The flames subsided, and Ma Xiaotao fell into a coma.
Several people dressed in white flew towards this direction from the direction from which the flames were coming.
Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "It seems it's time to part ways. Someone from your compensation academy will contact you, along with the payment you just received."
The group took Ma Xiaotao away, and Zhang Lexuan also left.
A collision that turned out to be a close call, but ended without serious injury.
Huo Yuhao suddenly stared at him wide-eyed: "Tell me, how did you get to know such a beautiful senior?"
"Huh? When did we meet?"
She clearly knows your name.
"Wake up! Didn't you see that senior is already a Contra Douluo? How do we know each other?" Ji Siyuan tapped his head: "Cultivate hard, so next time we encounter that crazy senior, we won't have to wait for someone else to save us."
