Chapter 67: Fiery Lady?
--- Chapter 67 ---
Huo Yuhao and Qianye Ying'er walked on the bridge around the Sea God Lake. They enjoyed the evening atmosphere and talked about many things, mainly about interesting facts about the Shrek Academy so far.
"What a beautiful evening to walk and enjoy the scenery." Huo Yuhao commented casually. He smiled behind his mask and felt the sunset touching his skin.
Qianye Ying'er hugged Huo Yuhao's right arm cheerfully and replied, "Hehe, what a good time~! After a few days, I finally could be alone with you, Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao chuckled when hearing Qianye Ying'er reply because Huo Yun'er and Scathach were too much for her. Even though the saint-like beauty has mastered a way to control one's mind through verbal manipulation and bribing, she couldn't trick the foxy mother and god slayer forever.
One is a deity's inheritor who wields power over otherworldly forces, and another one is a god slayer who "undoubtedly." was feared by Gods in her previous world. No matter how talented Qianye Ying'er was, she couldn't beat those with her slick tongue and cunning mind alone.
Qianye Ying'er could be considered a rare genius, Scathach said so herself. And she is only 12 years old, putting her above every one of the same age. Since they used Illusion Rune to cover their Spirit Ring's appearance and ages, no one besides people from Dragon Nest's members realized Qianye Ying'er possessed two 100.000 years old spirit rings as her fifth and sixth spirit rings.
Huo Yuhao gently caressed Qianye Ying'er golden hair and asked her, "Have you thought about the 2nd martial soul transplantation project, Ying'er? With Eluxia and Sister Daydream, we have a safe method to do it now."
"If you say so, Yuhao. I would do it for you." Qianye Ying'er rested her head on his chest.
They walked alongside the bridge for fifteen minutes and felt an odd sensation from their Kenbunshoku Haki. Huo Yuhao glanced at the Sea God Lake and saw a fiery ball approaching them at an alarming speed.
[Name: Ma Xiaotao(berserk)]
[Age: 23]
[Race: Human]
[Cultivation: Spirit Sage/Level 75]
[Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix]
[Description: A fiery lady with a problem]
Qianye Ying'er pouted and groaned, "Of course, something like this would happen on our date."
Ma Xiaotao focused on Huo Yuhao and Qianye Ying'er, launching a blazing fireball at them. She didn't seem aware of her action and attacked everything that moved. Akin to sleepwalking, but to an extreme degree.
Huo Yuhao summoned Ice Empress's Pauldron and created three icy feather wings to receive the incoming fireball. He frowned because Ma Xiaotao was more rebellious than the original.
BOOM!
'Yuhao, do you need help?' The Ice Emperor asked while looking at Ma Xiaotao. She sensed the Evil Fire Phoenix's essence from the attacker and wanted to fight back.
Huo Yuhao swayed the ice phoenix wings and replied, "Nah, I'm fine. This level of fire is far from enough to injure me."
[Fire Resistance Level 310]
"It's strong but not hot enough."
"Ying'er, give me some leverage." He added, to which Qianye Ying'er responded with a nod. She summoned the Saint Battle Flag and created a stacked shockwave to toss him away.
Huo Yuhao somersaulted in the air and dropkicked Ma Xiaotao on her face. He gives the fiery lady a good smack on her left cheek and blows her away like a breeze.
BAM!
BOOM!
Ma Xiaotao fell into the Sea God Lake like a diving bomb, but her flame evaporated the water a second later. She clutched her face and furiously stared at Huo Yuhao.
"What?" Huo Yuhao responded while floating above the Sea God Lake. "I just want to make you sober."
"Here, some water." He used Haoshoku Haki to splash water on Ma Xiaotao's face.
SPLASH!
Since Huo Yuhao added his spiritual energy, the water doesn't get evaporated by Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame. And her whole body was drenched in lake water.
"How was it? Fresh?" He casually asked while flapping the ice phoenix wings to hover in the air.
Ma Xiaotao becomes even more enraged and charged toward Huo Yuhao with a fiery scarlet arm. He dodged by tilting his head to the left, catching her face with his hand.
BAM!
"AAAAHHHH~!!" She released a cry and tried her best to attack Huo Yuhao, but the young man's arm was like solid ice that couldn't be melted or moved.
[You have resisted the attack]
[You will not receive any fire damages lower than your Fire Resistance]
Ma Xiaotao's Spirit Rings emerged from thin air and made Huo Yuhao frown. She clenched both hands and increased the temperature around them to a superheated degree. The red flame becomes darker.
"Oh, well. You wanted it the hard way." Huo Yuhao commented while dragging Ma Xiaotao into the Sea God Lake. He summoned the Divine Throne of Beginning and End in its astral form, using the Ice Emperor's spirit ring to decrease the temperature.
BAM!
Huo Yuhao slammed Ma Xiaotao's head on the bottom of the Sea God Lake and made her spew a mouthful of saliva, creating a shockwave to blast the lake water up.
BOOM!
"Absolute Zero." He added Ultimate Ice to his finger and flicked Ma Xiaotao's forehead. The floating water solidified and created a beautiful ice spiral in the center of Sea God Lake.
[Ma Xiaotao(Fainted)] Evo showed him the status of his opponent.
"Fainted? Uh, Good enough." Huo Yuhao watched Ma Xiaotao's flame dissipate slowly, revealing her appearance to him. She's a beautiful woman in her early twenties with long yet silky scarlet hair and a pair of ruby-like crimson eyes. After getting flicked by his Ultimate Ice, her clothes crumbled into dust because of the stress between two opposite forces, leaving her butt-naked in full glory.
Cough!
"O-Oh, what a fine specimen." Huo Yuhao respectfully coughed and peeked for a moment. After seeing enough, he picked up a thick blanket and covered Ma Xiaotao like a taco.
Tian Meng frowned and said, "Yuhao, you..."
"What? I only admired the scenery before my eyes. It's not my fault." Huo Yuhao returned casually.
...
...
BOOM!
Huo Yuhao jumped out of the ice pillar he created indirectly and noticed some people waiting for him. "Hello, there." He greeted them with a smile behind his mask.
"What a lovely evening, isn't it? I just caught a random fiery exhibitionist on my way home." He added, which left Yan Shaozhe speechless. They witnessed the young man fight Ma Xiaotao and were shocked by how casually he handled her frenzy state. No, it was more like a one-sided beating.
They could see Ma Xiaotao wrapped in a blanket and seemed to have fainted after the beating. Her flame also has become tamer for some reason.
"Thank you, Yuhao. My student could have created more chaos if you weren't here." Yan Shaozhe gave the bizarre young man a thankful look. He was too naive, thinking the Ice's Heart Apple he bought from the Dragon Auction Event would solve Ma Xiaotao's martial soul problem.
Huo Yuhao handed the fainted Ma Xiaotao to Yan Shaozhe and responded, "You're welcome? It's nothing special, though."
"And you shouldn't have let her eat Ice's Heart Apple right away."
"Pardon, What do you mean?" Yan Shaozhe frowned when hearing Huo Yuhao's comment.
The young man shrugged and replied, "Unless you're an idiot, you should know that Evil Fire Phoenix's nature couldn't get fixed that easily. And by pressuring her dark side, you harmed her essence more than good."
"Training that woman to accept the dark side of her martial soul would have been better because she could grow stronger and adapt to her origin."
"Don't tell me you don't know?" He looked at the dumbfounded expression of Yan Shaozhe. The Dean of Shrek Academy was too focused on controlling Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix. And he failed to realize that Fire Element is burning even hotter under pressure and becoming more unstable.
Yan Shaozhe looked at his disciple and clutched the blanket tightly. "I-Is there a way to save her?" He asked naturally.
The elder of Sea God Pavilion shook their heads when hearing Yan Shaozhe's question because, since the past accident with the woman he loved, Ma Xiaotao was his only family.
"Well, there are many ways to fix her problem." Huo Yuhao answered with a nod. "However, let's wait until she wakes up from her sleep. Let her flame stabilize because I don't want to deal with a fiery patient."
"Then, see you guys later!" He disappeared by using the Extreme Lightning Movement.
"Wait-!" Yan Shaozhe tried to grab Huo Yuhao, but the young man had already vanished from his position and left a splash of water.
Sin Lin'er crossed her arms and commented, "You acted like he wouldn't be here. That kid literally lived a few blocks away from this place."
"Ah, M-My bad." Yan Shaozhe was ashamed of himself because he was panicked about Ma Xiaotao's condition. "Let's wait until Xiaotao wakes up first."
"Brrr... The lake is colder than usual." Qian Duoduo suddenly added, which made everyone realize something. How could Huo Yuhao deal with Ma Xiaotao so effortlessly? A typical ice element won't work because her phoenix flame is close to Absolute Fire level.
Yan Shaozhe's body trembled because the information about Huo Yuhao was incomplete. That young man possessed more than one martial soul.
"Ultimate Ice."
...
...
Huo Yuhao grabbed Qianye Ying'er and said, "Ying'er, let's go somewhere else. To compensate for this event, I'll buy you as much street food as your want in the Shrek Academy City."
"Really~?" Qianye Ying'er giggled excitedly.
"Yeah." Huo Yuhao smiled while pulling her.
"The date is not over."
She beamed and shouted, "Let's go~!!"
