Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 50 Ling Luochen's Throbbing (Please read it again on Tuesday!!!)
"Are you awake?"

Shu Yan gently patted Ma Xiaotao's cheek, then asked slowly.

Ma Xiaotao just stared at Shu Yan blankly and didn't reply for a long time.

Shu Yan sighed softly, then loosened his grip, and the tightly bound Ma Xiaotao fell into the Sea God Lake again. As a series of bubbles rose, Shu Yan pulled her up again a moment later, and then asked again:
"Are you awake this time?"

Ma Xiaotao's thoughts finally recovered a little due to the continuous stimulation, and her eyes finally had a gleam of spirit. After spitting out a mouthful of lake water, she looked at Shu Yan, and after a long silence, she nodded hesitantly.

"Well, this is a good boy..."

Shu Yan nodded in satisfaction, and then loosened the space chains that bound Ma Xiaotao.

"Okay, that's enough for today. It's getting late, let's go home and get some rest..."

Shu Yan clapped his hands, bringing everyone back to their senses.

Then he did not linger any longer and walked straight in the direction he came from.

Although Ma Xiaotao is still in a daze, Shu Yan knows that as long as the evil fire is suppressed, her consciousness will soon return to normal. It doesn't matter if she gets angry and embarrassed when she thinks of what Shu Yan did to her, but Shu Yan has already promised Han Ruoruo that he will give her a massage tonight, so he really doesn't have time to waste with Ma Xiaotao, a complete stranger.

After Shu Yan's figure disappeared into the distance, Ling Luochen glanced at Ma Xiaotao, who was soaked and covered in lake bottom plants. She then quickly walked in the direction Shu Yan had left without saying a word.

Xu Sanshi stood there holding his tortoise shell, not knowing whether to leave or not. After a while, he cautiously poked Ma Xiaotao's arm and asked tentatively:

"Sister Xiaotao, do you think I can leave today?"

Ma Xiaotao glanced at him slightly sideways, and just one glance almost scared Xu Sanshi to tears. After Ma Xiaotao's torture for a period of time, the shadow he had for her had reached its peak.

"Get lost! Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or I'll tear your turtle shell off."

After saying this coldly, flames ignited on Ma Xiaotao's body again, and the wet clothes and hair were dried quickly. Then, Ma Xiaotao spread her phoenix wings and left this place.

After Ma Xiaotao left, Xu Sanshi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his burnt face through the shimmering lake, he almost burst into tears.

This was the first time in his life that he felt that being alive was such a wonderful thing. Regardless of other things, at least he was still alive, and that was enough...

……

On the path, Shu Yan looked up at the sky, then he paused slightly and turned around to see Ling Luochen following behind him.

"Aren't you going back to the dormitory? It's so late..."

Shu Yan asked casually.

Ling Luochen was silent for a moment, then said:

"My dormitory is just in front. Also, thank you for what I just did..."

Shu Yan chuckled and shook his head, then asked with a little confusion:
"Why were you going to the north shore of Poseidon Island if nothing happened? And you happened to run into Ma Xiaotao, who had just burst into flames. I can tell that after losing consciousness due to the burst of flames, Ma Xiaotao is very hostile towards you."

Ling Luochen's expression didn't change when he heard this, but there was a hint of indignation in his tone:
"The inner courtyard's ice-attributed mimicry training ground is right on the north bank. I usually take that road, but this time, just as I was leaving the mimicry training ground, I ran into Xu Sanshi and Ma Xiaotao running towards Sea God Lake. I had no intention of interfering and was even deliberately hiding my presence, but as soon as Xu Sanshi saw me, he started yelling and screaming. Ma Xiaotao also noticed me, and stimulated by the ice-attributed soul power in my body, her evil fire completely lost control, and then she started to attack me."

It was obvious that Xu Sanshi's move had truly infuriated Ling Luochen. The normally quiet Ice Beauty was so enraged that she uttered such a long string of words in one breath. It wasn't Ling Luochen's fault for being unsympathetic. Everyone in the inner courtyard knew how terrifying Ma Xiaotao could be when her evil fire ran wild. Xu Sanshi had nothing to do with her, so she didn't need to risk her life to help.

What's more, she really couldn't help with this. Not to mention that she was one level lower than Ma Xiaotao, not to mention her relationship with Ma Xiaotao, as long as she showed up, she would definitely be the one who attracted the most hatred, and would even magnify the already difficult problem in the end.

Shu Yan sighed, then said:

"Be more careful next time. Honestly, if her evil fire hadn't gone out of control and the protection of her spiritual sea hadn't been significantly reduced, I would have had to put in a lot of effort to deal with her."

Hearing this, Ling Luochen glanced at Shu Yan with a gloomy look, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly:

"Do you think I'm inhumane, like those people do? Even in that situation, I wasn't willing to help my classmates, and I only cared about saving myself..."

"Do not…"

Shu Yan shook his head decisively. He looked at Ling Luochen and said softly:
"I think you're a very rational person. You know exactly what you can and can't do with your own abilities. Just like you know you can never be my opponent, so you've never taken the initiative to challenge me."

"Compared to others, at least you didn't get beaten in vain..."

Ling Luochen was startled for a long moment before he said softly:
"That's what you said..."

Under the warm street lights, Ling Luochen's already fair skin had an even cooler texture like jade. Her calves under her black knee-length skirt were as white and delicate as newly exposed lotus roots, revealing beautiful lines that were very eye-catching.

"Go to bed early. I have something else to do, so I won't talk any more."

Shu Yan said the last sentence and then walked away without any regrets.

Ling Luochen watched Shu Yan's back gradually recede until he disappeared into the dark shadows, then turned and walked towards a small path. Not long after, a light came on in a nondescript wooden house not far away. The light dispelled the small area of ​​darkness nearby, but it still couldn't illuminate the entire forest...

……

On the other side, Ma Xiaotao, with messy hair and a depressed look, was huddled alone in the corner of a secret room, hugging her knees and staring blankly.

The feeling of the evil fire getting out of control is very bad. It is not only a cruel torture to the soul master's body, but also an unspeakable severe destruction to the soul master's mind.

At this moment, the surrounding space gradually brightened, and a gentle voice mixed with a hint of helplessness also sounded:

"Xiao Tao, why didn't you tell me that you couldn't suppress your evil fire? You know that if your evil fire gets completely out of control, it will most likely cause irreversible consequences. It will be too late for you to regret it then..."

Ma Xiaotao slowly raised her head, her eyes met Yan Shaozhe's slightly reproachful gaze, then she quietly looked away. After a while, she whispered:
"Teacher, I thought I could control it...really..."

Yan Shaozhe sighed deeply and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He has said everything he should have said countless times over the years, both good and bad, but Ma Xiaotao never learned her lesson. Fortunately, this time she met Shu Yan who was strolling around and subdued her, but what if it was any other Soul Master?

He was afraid that within a few rounds, he would be severely injured or even killed by the out-of-control Ma Xiaotao. If it was an ordinary outer courtyard student who died, it would be fine, the academy could easily step in to deal with it. But if it was an inner courtyard student who died, even if he, the dean, stepped in personally, he would probably not get any good results. If he handled it improperly, he might even make a great enemy for the academy, which would be a big trouble for Shrek Academy...
