Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 98 Ma Xiaotao's Unexpected Intervention
When Ye Xixuan and Vina arrived at the shore of the Sea God Lake, the sun had already completely sunk below the western horizon.

The two stood facing the sun, the entire Poseidon Lake bathed in a golden-red light, shimmering in the sunlight. A cool breeze, carrying a hint of chill, blew against their faces, causing the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees to sway gently.

The moist, fresh air lingers around the tip of the nose, making one feel refreshed and invigorated.

Holding Ye Xixuan's hand, Vina's eyes seemed to shimmer with colorful light as she let out a heartfelt sigh.

"What a beautiful Sea God Lake!" For political reasons, the royal family members of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were never allowed to study at Shrek Academy. Although Vina had heard about Shrek Academy since she was a child, this was the first time she had seen such a clear and vast Sea God Lake with her own eyes.

The area of ​​Poseidon Lake is extremely large, even exceeding the main campus where the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department of the Outer Academy are located.

Then, turning her head to look at Ye Xixuan beside her, Vina was stunned again.

Bathed in the brilliant glow of the setting sun, Ye Xixuan's exquisite and flawless face shone like a divine being descended from heaven, as if he had stepped out from this world of light and shadow.

Vina's girlish sensuality seemed to be instantly ignited, her beautiful eyes softened, and her long eyelashes were covered with a layer of glistening mist.

This was the man who would spend his life with her, and also the only person who truly touched her heart during her youth.

Sensing Vina's unusual gaze, Ye Xixuan also turned his gaze away from the Seagod Island in the center of the lake and looked at Vina.

"what happened?"

Vina gracefully circled around to the front of Ye Xixuan, her figure close to his without any gap, and leaned against him, smiling sweetly.

"I just felt a sense of relief that I met you not too late."

Under Vina's guidance, Ye Xixuan placed his hands on her slender, supple waist. However, the princess's behavior did not appear frivolous at all; she simply and openly displayed her exclusive intimacy with her fiancé.

“My fiancé, don’t you think we should start cultivating our relationship a little?” Vina’s face was close to hers as she parted her red lips, her rich, warm fragrance wafting into Ye Xixuan’s nostrils, a hint of dreaminess clearly appearing in her eyes.

Before Ye Xixuan could react, Vina's aura had forcefully invaded his mind. His mind went blank, and his thoughts were fixated on strange and unusual points of interest.

Why "also"? Yes, because Vina found out about the relationship between me, Sister Xiaoya, and Senior Sister.

Vina's behavior perfectly illustrates that she doesn't care about these things at all.

The tall, dark-haired boy and the voluptuous, silver-haired girl embraced under the twilight, leaving a deep impression on their first meeting. Even across time and years, this scene will be etched in their minds forever.

Ye Xixuan let Vina take the initiative. Perhaps, as Elder Mu said, due to his special childhood experiences and his own personality, he was not used to rejecting the sincere kindness of others, especially to women.

Moreover, since this person is his nominal fiancée, there is even less reason to resist.

Ye Xixuan was actually quite starved for love, which was why he had a unique preference for mature women like his senior sister. Princess Vina, born into the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire, possessed an elegant, noble, yet gentle and approachable temperament that was quite similar to his senior sister's.

After a long while, Vina placed her hands on Ye Xixuan's shoulders, her full chest rising and falling slightly, her beautiful face radiant, and she chuckled softly, her breath sweet as orchids: "Hmm—, do you have a little bit of feeling for me now?"

"Mmm." Feeling the instinctive reaction in his body, Ye Xixuan nodded honestly.

"Maybe."

Vina's pretty face flushed slightly as she calmed herself down a bit. Despite her composed demeanor, she herself was actually experiencing a strange feeling due to Ye Xixuan's instinctive reaction.

Ye Xixuan's answer, combined with his physical reaction, made the princess's cheeks burn even hotter.

"Just as I imagined, it turns out you have a less serious side too."

"Really?" Ye Xixuan suddenly laughed, teasingly asking with interest, "So, Your Highness, what do you think is a bit improper about me?"

Hearing this, Vina blushed and remained silent. Clearly, this princess wasn't thick-skinned enough to point out Ye Xixuan's inappropriate behavior in front of him.

However, in her interactions with Ye Xixuan, she experienced a sense of novelty unlike anything she had felt in the past fifteen years. Especially compared to their Body Sect's most talented senior brother, Senior Brother Long, Ye Xixuan's personality was indeed much more humorous.

The two continued to embrace, enjoying their time alone.

Just then, Ye Xixuan and Vina seemed to realize something and turned around to look in the direction of Seagod Island again.

A red dot of light rapidly magnified in their field of vision.

Vina's gaze sharpened, and three spirit rings—one yellow and two purple—rapidly rose from beneath her feet, her eyes flashing with a strange, bright silver light.

The shared spirit detection skill activated instantly, extending in a straight line along her gaze. Through Vina's shared spirit detection skill, Ye Xixuan immediately confirmed his guess: the person who had come was indeed Ma Xiaotao, dressed in red.

"No way, Sister Tao, not again?"

"Sister Xiaotao?" Hearing Ye Xixuan's helpless complaint, Vina couldn't help but ask with some doubt, "Is she one too?"

Vina's confusion wasn't because Ye Xixuan had gotten involved with another girl, but because Ma Xiaotao's style was so different from Zhang Lexuan's and Tang Ya's. If Ma Xiaotao was also like that, then Ye Xixuan's taste was quite diverse.

In the blink of an eye, Ma Xiaotao rushed to within 300 meters of the shore of Poseidon Lake.

“Sister Xiaotao’s situation is rather special. Her martial soul cultivation has certain side effects, and only I can help her resolve them. She has been cultivating alone on Seagod Island for almost a year now, so she must have come to me to help her solve her martial soul problem.” Ye Xixuan first shook his head, then took a deep breath and took the initiative to face Ma Xiaotao.

"However, I don't particularly like her strong personality, so this time I'm going to at least put up a fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xixuan's figure soared into the sky, carrying an incomparably powerful aura.

A jet-black light burst forth, and a pair of wings formed from black feathers silently appeared behind him. His body was surrounded by three spirit rings, two purple and one black, with the third black ten-thousand-year spirit ring now shimmering with a deep black light.

"Xi Xuan, let me help you."

Although Vina doesn't know the specifics of the relationship between Ye Xixuan and that Little Peach, as Ye Xixuan's fiancée, she definitely has to stand on Ye Xixuan's side unconditionally.

Suppressing her emotions, she controlled her soul skill, changing the direction of her mental detection from a straight line to an all-angle detection, covering a spherical three-dimensional space with a diameter of nearly three hundred meters. It even encompassed the situation in the Sea God Lake, where she could occasionally clearly see the fish and shrimp swimming within.

Ma Xiaotao's magnificent phoenix wings suddenly flapped, making her figure seem to transform into a streak of flame, instantly swooping down in front of Ye Xixuan.

The terrifyingly high temperature brought by the phoenix flames caused the water on the surface of the Sea God Lake to hiss rapidly, and a thick mist rose up.

"You brat, hurry up! I've been holding back my lust for almost a year, and I really can't hold it in any longer!" Ma Xiaotao let out an infinitely seductive scream, which made Ye Xixuan feel dizzy.

Vina's red lips parted slightly in surprise, once again refreshing her understanding of Ma Xiaotao. It seems that this one not only has a hot figure, but also an incredibly fierce personality.

Ye Xixuan could tell that Ma Xiaotao was far from being on the verge of losing control like before, and he didn't really like the feeling of being suppressed. This was a matter of a man's bottom line and dignity.

He covered his hands with magnificent, bright silver spider claws, crossed them, and swung them downwards. The transparent, invisible spatial attribute spider silk instantly bound Ma Xiaotao's movements.

The tight binding left deep marks on Ma Xiaotao's voluptuous figure, which caused her to tremble as the phoenix flames surged wildly from her body.

"Hey! You brat, what are you doing?!"

"Sister Xiaotao, can you please show me some respect?" Ye Xixuan said helplessly.

"Fine, you want respect, huh? Then prove it with your own abilities!"

Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly, but she found that even with her cultivation level, she was unable to break free from Ye Xixuan's external soul-bonding spider silk in the first instance. So she immediately increased the amount of soul power injected into the phoenix wings behind her.

A loud phoenix cry rang out, and the phantom of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul appeared behind Ma Xiaotao.

Even Vina, standing on the lakeshore, couldn't help but widen her eyes upon sensing Ma Xiaotao's terrifying soul power aura. Because she was a pure spirit-attribute soul master, her senses were even more acute.

Although Ma Xiaotao only has six spirit rings, her aura is almost comparable to that of a Soul Saint.

"Xi Xuan, be careful. Her soul power cultivation should be almost at level seventy!"

"A martial soul with a spiritual attribute? And where did you come from, little girl? You have a good eye." Ma Xiaotao only then noticed Vina, and then arrogantly raised her chin. With the full force of her phoenix flames, she burned the spider silk of the Night Dawn Profound Heaven Spider Claw to ashes.

"However, my soul power cultivation isn't just approaching level 70; I've truly broken through the level 70 bottleneck! Hmph! You're still too green to defy me!"

"Sister Xiaotao, you?!"

Ye Xixuan had just formed a dark demonic sword in his hand, but before he could attack Ma Xiaotao, the terrifying heat engulfed him. As if covered by a sea of ​​fire, he felt as if his body and soul power were evaporating and melting.

After all, no matter how powerful an ultimate martial soul is, it can't make him ignore the thirty-level difference in soul power. Moreover, after Ma Xiaotao broke through to level seventy, the attributes of her Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul were already extremely close to those of the ultimate fire.

Like a helpless wife, Vina watched helplessly as Ma Xiaotao, embracing Ye Xixuan, fell into the lake.
