I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Rewind time to the battle between the limits.

Xu Xingyu, focused on the demonstration by the Golden Ancient Tree, was completely unaware of the battle taking place outside. She concentrated on using the remnant soul of the Vermilion Bird to reshape Ma Xiaotao's martial soul.

Finally, thanks to Xu Xingyu's tireless efforts, Ma Xiaotao's Vermilion Bird Martial Soul was completed, and Ma Xiaotao was finally out of danger.

The afterimage of the Vermilion Bird beside him also began to become somewhat illusory. The Vermilion Bird spoke with a sigh, "It seems my time has finally come. Starry Sky—no, it should be Star Language, right? Meeting you is the happiest thing in my life. If fate allows, let us meet again."

Hearing this, Xu Xingyu smiled, panting, and said, "It's my blessing as the Star Dragon Emperor to have such subordinates and friends."

"To receive such praise from you is a great honor. Choosing you as my lord was indeed the right decision. Farewell."

After she finished speaking, the afterimage of Suzaku finally began to dissipate. But before it disappeared, she put on a teasing expression and said, "By the way, you can handle the rest of the benefits yourself. Consider it a fitting end for all the romantic entanglements you've caused."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu was somewhat confused, but at this moment, Ma Xiaotao seemed to be half-controlled by something, slowly standing up and walking towards Xu Xingyu.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao's lifeless eyes, Xu Xingyu sensed a very familiar aura—the aura of evil fire!

Did Ma Xiaotao's evil fire not dissipate during the process of transforming her martial soul?!

No! The evil fire did indeed dissipate, but some residual evil fire instinctively hid itself deep within Ma Xiaotao's body.

In that case, theoretically, Ma Xiaotao only needs to circulate her soul power once to eliminate the remaining evil fire.

However, Ma Xiaotao is still unconscious. This is the last offensive of the evil fire!

Upon seeing this, Xu Xingyu immediately recalled the scene of being trapped by the evil fire before. Fortunately, she was able to resolve it with Gu Yuena that time, but it was clear that this time it wouldn't work.

Xu Xingyu immediately tried to use his soul power to freeze Ma Xiaotao with extreme ice, as he did not want to have any relations with Ma Xiaotao at this time.

You should know that Xu Xingyu currently only considers the other person as a friend, or at most a senior who needs help. Although she has taken advantage of the other person many times, she has never taken the initiative.

His favorability rating isn't that easy to raise; you know, he already has enough girls already. (Gu Yuena: Really? It seems like your favorability rating isn't that hard to raise either?)

Besides, if he really falls in love with every girl he meets, then he's a beast, even worse than a scumbag.

Xu Xingyu is the kind of person who firmly believes that love requires mutual support, a certain understanding of each other, and the ability to tolerate each other's flaws.

Xu Xingyu didn't think he could tolerate Ma Xiaotao's bad temper now. If she could change in the future, that would be fine, but if she always had that tigress-like temper, then no matter how good-looking she was or how curvy she was, they could only be friends at most.

And Ma Xiaotao must feel the same way, right? It's impossible that she would fall in love with him just because of a few treatments. Is Xu Xingyu really that charming?

If Ma Xiaotao were conscious now, she would definitely answer that his charm was just that great. Ever since she met Xu Xingyu, Ma Xiaotao has been troubled about how to get her best friend Jiang Nannan into Xu Xingyu's group without hurting her.

After all, someone as outstanding as Xu Xingyu is the type you'll never see again once you miss her.

The other boys she knew were all cowards who treated her like a plague, avoiding her whenever possible.

Every time she participated in the Sea God's Fate event held by Shrek Academy, no one would choose her, Ma Xiaotao. Those who were chosen by Ma Xiaotao would almost always jump into the water and eliminate themselves immediately.

So when Ma Xiaotao met Xu Xingyu, someone who matched her aesthetic standards, she didn't want to give up.

Although she felt slightly dissatisfied that Xu Xingyu couldn't possibly only love her, it was precisely because of this that she was able to join the competition.

Back to the present, Xu Xingyu tried to use her soul power to freeze Ma Xiaotao with extreme ice, but Ma Xiaotao, who had just obtained the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul, instinctively fought back.

The golden and black flames instantly melted Xu Xingyu's ice; this was the power of the ultimate Yang Fire and the ultimate Yin Fire.

Xu Xingyu was originally capable of suppressing the ultimate dual flames with his combat power, but now he has very little soul power left because he helped Ma Xiaotao reshape her martial soul.

Soon, Xu Xingyu's soul power was completely exhausted, and she could only wait for what was to come, like a fish on a chopping board.

That day, Xu Xingyu had a dream in which he was sailing on the sea in a small boat.

After an unknown amount of time, a red mountain appeared in front of Xu Xingyu. Upon seeing it, Xu Xingyu immediately decided to turn around and glide around the mountain.

However, at that very moment a storm was about to arrive, and as the storm approached, the waves on the sea became as fierce as tigers.

Xu Xingyu tried to control the small boat to prevent it from crashing into the red mountain, but as expected, the boat eventually headed towards the mountain under the guidance of the waves.

Just as they were about to collide, Xu Xingyu accidentally ignited the explosives on the ship, so she had to hurriedly discard them, which ended up landing on Red Mountain.

With a deafening crash, a cave suddenly appeared before Xu Xingyu! It turned out that the mountain wall behind it was hollow!

At this moment, Xu Xingyu noticed that it had started to rain, so he had no choice but to enter the cave to avoid the rain.

After entering the cave by boat, Xu Xingyu continued to move deeper into the cave under the push of the waves. During this process, Xu Xingyu did not know how many times the boat was almost capsized or hit the rocks.

Finally, as if it were predestined, Xu Xingyu's boat crashed into the rock wall, and Xu Xingyu fell into the water, where she was forcibly filled with an unknown amount of extremely salty seawater.

Xu Xingyu was swept away by the sea to the depths of the mountains after an unknown period of time. She finally regained consciousness after hitting a rock.

After vomiting all the seawater out of her stomach, Xu Xingyu began to observe where she was.

To his surprise, he found himself at the deepest part of the mountain range, which turned out to be a basin-like place.

The scenery in the mountains is like a paradise, beautiful and full of a unique natural atmosphere.

What surprised Xu Xingyu the most was that there were countless fruit trees in this place, including peaches, cherries, grapes and so on.

Curious, Xu Xingyu tasted the fruit produced by each tree, and could only say that it was a heavenly delicacy.

Xu Xingyu was so engrossed in the fruits produced in this paradise that he didn't know how much time had passed. Finally, when he could no longer eat, he found a place to sleep.

It was at that moment that the dream ended, and it was time to face the realities of the world.
