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

At this moment, Xu Xingyu suddenly remembered that Ma Xiaotao was still sleeping soundly beside her, hugging her left arm and snoring!

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, who was clearly unconscious but had a look of dazedness on her face, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

To be honest, he never imagined that he would form such a relationship with Ma Xiaotao, let alone that he would pass on the Vermilion Bird's legacy to Ma Xiaotao.

Admittedly, Ma Xiaotao is the most suitable person to inherit the Vermilion Bird's legacy among those he knows, but Xu Xingyu has been hesitant about it because of his personality.

This time, in order to save the other party and take away the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal, Xu Xingyu put aside his hesitation and passed on the Vermilion Bird to her.

After all, in theory, the Vermilion Bird God is his subordinate deity, so even if the two have some disagreements in the future due to personality differences, Xu Xingyu will eventually be able to prevail over the other.

As for his relationship with Ma Xiaotao, he originally intended to pass on the Vermilion Bird to her and then become friends and have a superior-subordinate relationship, rather than the ambiguous relationship they have now.

However, now that it has already happened, Xu Xingyu can't just deny everything. Besides, to be fair, fighting with Ma Xiaotao still gives one a refreshing feeling.

Unlike Gu Yuena, who was completely suppressed and felt like serving a high and mighty queen, Xu Xingyu held all the advantages in her battle with Ma Xiaotao. Ma Xiaotao was only passive throughout, except for the brief moment when she was possessed by evil fire. The overall feel and elasticity of her skin were also comparable to that of the peerless beauty Gu Yuena.

The only drawback is that Ma Xiaotao's stamina is too poor. She is out of breath after fighting for a short while, and then faints from being too engrossed in the next battle.

It was at this moment that Xu Xingyu looked at the naked Ma Xiaotao, then wrapped one arm around her and took out a blanket from her storage ring with the other to cover her beautiful figure.

Just then, Ma Xiaotao finally woke up and, while yawning, said to Xu Xingyu, "Is it already morning? Xingyu, I just had a really scary nightmare."

After saying that, he began to adjust his position to make himself more comfortable, then hugged Xu Xingyu with both hands and pressed his heart forcefully against Xu Xingyu's chest.

Xu Xingyu didn't pay attention to Ma Xiaotao's actions and changed the way she hugged her to putting one arm around her waist and the other around her buttocks.

This forced Ma Xiaotao to hug Xu Xingyu with both legs in order to stabilize herself.

At this moment, Xu Xingyu spoke up: "What kind of dream would terrify the unruly Senior Ma Xiaotao?"

This made Ma Xiaotao show an angry expression and start patting Xu Xingyu's chest with her small hands, saying, "What do you mean by lawless! You talk as if I'm some kind of bully!"

Xu Xingyu simply smiled without saying a word, which made Ma Xiaotao quite angry.

However, after thinking about how she had been somewhat domineering and willful in the past, she stopped pursuing the issue and began to explain her nightmare.

"Instead of calling it scary, you should say it's eerie, right? It's like the nightmare where your teacher discovered us, and then he joined our fight, wasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu could only break out in a cold sweat and say, "That wasn't a nightmare; it actually happened in real life."

"ah!!!?!??!"

"So, you and your teacher, Silver Dragon Douluo, really have that kind of relationship?!"

This completely shattered Ma Xiaotao's composure. She originally thought that the only competition she would face was between her best friend and Xu Xingyu, his two fiancées, but now you're saying that his true love is his teacher!

This explosive news is enough to shock people for ten years!

After sorting out her thoughts, Ma Xiaotao finally accepted the reality.

The main reason is that if her nightmares are actually memories, then theoretically Gu Yuena is the only one who can overpower Xu Xingyu.

That would still be a good thing for Ma Xiaotao and the other sisters. After all, according to Ma Xiaotao's calculations, even if all the sisters except Gu Yuena went up to fight, they would eventually be defeated by Xu Xingyu. So it is very important to have someone who can suppress the opponent.

After that, Xu Xingyu began to explain to Ma Xiaotao the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul and inheritance that Xu Xingyu had given her.

Upon learning that she had become a successor to a divine position, Ma Xiaotao was so shocked that she was speechless.

I thought nothing would surprise me today, but then you turned around and told me you'd turned me into a god-successor?

Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?

You must know that's a god! It's the realm that all Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent yearn for the most!

So you're saying I became a successor to a divine position and I just became one? And you even bestowed that title upon me? You can't be joking like that!

At first, Ma Xiaotao didn't believe it and thought that Xu Xingyu was just teasing her.

However, after Xu Xingyu had Ma Xiaotiao carefully feel the control of his body, Ma Xiaotao truly began to believe Xu Xingyu's words.

In Ma Xiaotao's perception, there was something between her eyebrows, and after stimulating what was inside, Ma Xiaotao clearly felt the presence of the Vermilion Bird inheritance.

Another thing that made Ma Xiaotao even more convinced that what Xu Xingyu said was true was that her martial soul had inexplicably become the Vermilion Bird, and she also gained a seventh soul ring, which was a golden soul ring.

According to Xu Xingyu, that spirit ring was formed by the power of the Vermilion Bird, and it was equivalent to a million-year spirit ring.

What is a million-year soul ring? Without knowing Huo Yuhao's special circumstances, only Tang San's ancestor from ten thousand years ago seems to have possessed one.

Only a god could possibly bestow such a thing!

This made Ma Xiaotao begin to have some doubts about Xu Xingyu's identity, because a divine position is not something that can be found everywhere.

Xu Xingyu, on the other hand, could just give away a divine position to Ma Xiaotao without hesitation.

There simply isn't such a powerful force in the world, is there? After all, this is a divine position!

Shouldn't one normally use their talents to impress the gods in heaven, and then choose that person as their successor if the god deems them suitable?

What exactly is going on with Xu Xingyu?!

Xu Xingyu did not immediately give Ma Xiaotao an answer to her question.

Instead, he put on his clothes and asked the other person if they wanted to go to the Spirit Tower with him.

After saying that, he took out a white dress from Ma Xiaotao's storage ring and handed it to Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao didn't say anything when she saw Xu Xingyu abruptly change the subject. She believed that he would tell her sooner or later when the time was right.

Moreover, theoretically, given her current strength, she might not even be qualified to manage these matters.

So all I can do now is to continuously improve my strength, so as not to let down Xu Xingyu, who has bestowed upon me a divine position.

And going to the Tower of Qiling now is a good opportunity to properly greet my future sisters (love rivals).

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao took the clothes and, completely ignoring Xu Xingyu who was present, put them on in front of her.

After getting dressed, he and Xu Xingyu left the room and headed towards the Spirit Tower.

After reporting Ma Xiaotao's situation to Mu En, Xu Xingyu went with Ma Xiaotao to the Spirit Tower in Shrek City. There, a new battleground was about to begin.
