"..."
The air fell into silence.
Are you sick?
I came to thank you in person and was sincere.
Then you came up and said, "I'm sick?"
How could there be such a person? He is so deceptive!
Ma Xiaotao was obviously stunned, and then her pretty face sank.
He stared at Su Luoheng with anger brewing in his eyes.
At the same time, Su Luoheng thought Ma Xiaotao was embarrassed because he had exposed her true thoughts. In line with the principle of not discriminating against special groups, Su Luoheng once again spoke to comfort her.
"Ma Xiaotao, it's not terrible that you have this hobby. Strictly speaking, it's not a disease. Today's era is very enlightened, and people with this hobby are not uncommon, so you don't have to feel inferior because of it."
"You are a good girl, be brave--"
"Su Luoheng!
shut up!
"
"Who are you calling sick? You are the one who is sick!"
Her fiery temper surged up, and Ma Xiaotao suddenly became furious. She suddenly stood up, clenched her hands into fists, and cracked her joints. His eyes glared at Su Luoheng, wishing he could immediately pounce on him and beat him up.
To be honest, she almost got angry!
Su Luoheng is so annoying!
He came to express his gratitude with good intentions, but he was treated like this by Su Luoheng. If he hadn't been unable to beat him, his fist would have been turned around long ago.
"..."
Is this temper too bad?
Is there something wrong with what you just said?
I kindly advised her not to feel inferior...
etc--
Could it be that something unspeakable was pointed out?
Su Luoheng rubbed his chin and thought to himself:
If this was the case, it would be understandable for Ma Xiaotao to suddenly become angry. After all, how could she have the nerve to say such a thing? Now I point it out directly, it would be weird if I don’t get angry...
Well, it's very possible~
Thinking about it this way, Su Luoheng felt that his guess was close to ten. Then, he looked at Ma Xiaotao with sympathetic eyes: It's actually not easy to have this kind of hobby.
"..."
Immediately, Su Luoheng coughed twice, relaxing the atmosphere, and continued to speak in a steady tone.
"When you say thank you, don't you mean that I defeated you?"
"what are you thinking!"
"Are you mentally ill? Who would be grateful for such a thing!"
Ma Xiaotao was furious for a moment, and after a while she said: "When I say serious injuries, I mean the ultimate ice you used!"
"..."
Is it related to Ultimate Ice?
Su Luoheng was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Ma Xiaotao with a surprised look.
"So, that's why you're saying thank you?"
"What do you think!"
Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened.
"..."
Su Luoheng was speechless and choked.
After being silent for a while, he said helplessly.
"Then when I mentioned the competition just now, what did you admit?"
Ma Xiaotao snorted and asked, "Didn't you use Ultimate Ice during the competition?"
"used……"
"Then I said there's something wrong with the game?"
"Uh... no problem."
This oolong caused a stir...
Thinking of this, Su Luoheng helplessly raised his forehead.
"Sorry, I said the wrong thing."
"..."
Facing Su Luoheng's proactive apology, Ma Xiaotao finally felt a little more comfortable and no longer thought too deeply about it. After taking a few deep breaths to calm down his emotions, he explained the reason for his visit.
turn out to be--
After the game, Ma Xiaotao's condition of cold air entering her body was particularly serious. In particular, Su Luoheng's last strike of the Emperor's Palm injected most of the cold energy from Xue Wu's Yaoyang Domain into Ma Xiaotao's body.
This cold air stayed in Ma Xiaotao's body, seriously corroding the body. But it is precisely for this reason that the cold air of this extreme ice and the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's soul power erode each other, and the two sides clashed.
By the time the cold air left the body, the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body had been suppressed to the freezing point. According to Yan Shaozhe, he shouldn't show up again for at least five years.
The evil fire attribute of the martial spirit.
It has always been her biggest trouble in the process of cultivation.
It was Su Luoheng who allowed Ma Xiaotao to enjoy normal training for two years when he was the Soul Emperor. Although the injuries are serious now, compared with suppressing the evil fire, these are worth it.
Therefore, I am mostly grateful to Su Luoheng.
Ma Xiaotao has a straightforward personality and clear grievances.
Su Luoheng's words of thanks during the game. In addition, Ma Xiaotao was already very curious about him, so she wanted to know whether Su Luoheng used the ultimate ice intentionally or unintentionally.
That's why Ma Xiaotao came to thank her.
The reason why I came here today is because I just recovered from my injury.
"so……"
"Did you say thank you because you already knew that your ultimate ice could suppress my evil fire?"
Ma Xiaotao's eyes were deep and searching.
His expression was serious and serious, quietly waiting for Su Luoheng's answer.
"..."
There was a moment of silence.
Su Luoheng suddenly smiled, straightened his body, and picked up the teacup.
"Would you believe me if I said yes?"
"letter."
Ma Xiaotao simply uttered one word without hesitation.
"oh?"
Su Luoheng put down his teacup and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"My intuition tells me that you are not lying."
Ma Xiaotao held the table with both hands and leaned forward slightly. Su Luoheng looked at Su Luoheng with determination and seriousness.
"So, why are you helping me?"
"Before you, I have never encountered an opponent worthy of my full strength, and you are the first. So the coldness in the ultimate ice should be regarded as my thanks for helping me verify my strength."
Su Luoheng leaned back on the sofa.
His arms were crossed behind his head, calm and calm.
He didn't lie in this statement.
But he didn't tell the whole story. In addition to being grateful for the verification of strength, there is another more important reason: twin martial souls.
"I see……"
Ma Xiaotao nodded and sat down again.
She didn't think much about it.
This explanation made sense to her, because he also liked this kind of hearty fighting.
"Su Luoheng, I, Ma Xiaotao, never owe anyone any favors."
"Since you helped me suppress the evil fire problem this time, I owe you a favor as a thank you. As long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse. It will be valid for a long time."
Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms over her chest and raised her chin slightly in a reserved manner.
"Okay, I've written it down."
Su Luoheng smiled and nodded. Suddenly he remembered something and his eyes flashed slightly.
"There's another--"
"I do need your help with something." Su Luoheng suddenly said.
"explain."
Ma Xiaotao waved her hand, quite like a big sister.
"In a week, I will be participating in the evil soul master siege mission of your Shrek Prosecution Team. I think before this soul fighting competition, most of you Shrek people will give me some obstacles and create some obstacles. question."
"Although I'm not afraid of these, it will always be troublesome if something like this happens. I don't want to affect the progress of the mission because of these."
"And as a student of the inner court that Shrek focuses on, your status in the college must be extraordinary. You should have some authority in the college, right?"
After a short pause, Su Luoheng looked at Ma Xiaotao.
"What do you need me to do?"
Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly and reminded: "Although I have some status in the college, my words may not be useful when it comes to college arrangements."
"My requirements are not high."
Su Luoheng shook his head and signaled to listen to himself first.
"What I need you to do for me is that when I go out to carry out the mission of encircling and suppressing evil soul masters, you can help me stop all these obstacles. This should be possible for you, right?"
"Okay, just leave this to me."
Ma Xiaotao pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
This matter is neither difficult nor easy. But as Su Luoheng said, it was indeed within the scope of what he could do. Thinking of the Haikou she had boasted about earlier, she couldn't be the first to say no.
"Thank you."
When Su Luoheng heard this, he smiled and held his hands.
This time the thanks come from the heart. If Ma Xiaotao could really stop Shrek's secret plan, it would undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble and time.
"If I succeed in this matter, between you and me..."
Su Luoheng answered, "The grudges will be settled."
"Um."
Ma Xiaotao nodded, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a sense of loss, and he didn't know where it came from.
"..."
After saying that, they each picked up the tea cups in front of them.
After a while of silence.
At this time, Ma Xiaotao suddenly remembered something and asked.
"On the way here, I saw a notice posted by the academy. It said that the academy had awarded a head soul bone with the attribute of time?"
Su Luoheng nodded and said jokingly, "Well, you Shrek is a lot more generous this time."
"..."
Ma Xiaotao hesitated, "That skull..."
Su Luoheng put down the teacup, "What's wrong?"
"Su Luoheng, don't you-"
Ma Xiaotao's eyes narrowed slightly, and when she took a deep breath and was about to speak, she suddenly felt a sharp and painful pain in her head. There seemed to be something in my mind, as if it had been suddenly cut off.
Severe pain swept over her, and all her surging thoughts were drowned. She couldn't help but cover her head in pain, squatted down and curled up on the sofa.
It was as painful as if his consciousness was being torn apart.
Tell her emotionally:
Su Luoheng helped him suppress the evil fire twice. So no matter what, I couldn't just watch him die because of his soul bone.
If she wanted to stop Su Luoheng, she couldn't absorb the soul bone.
However, the moment this idea came up, a voice like a yellow bell suddenly sounded from her mind, and it instantly suppressed all the thoughts in her heart.
The reminder that was about to be spoken ended abruptly.
[Cannot betray Shrek Academy]
This deafening sound was imprinted in his mind. It suddenly sounded from the depths of his mind and occupied his entire brain in an instant, almost shattering all of Ma Xiaotao's thoughts.
All consciousness and thoughts were completely suppressed in an instant in front of this voice. There was no room for struggle or resistance, and the unification was completed by the most brutal means.
【Can't betray Shrek】
As the voice resounded in her mind again and again, Ma Xiaotao's expression in the outside world changed drastically. At the same time, those eyes became more and more blurred, gradually losing focus, becoming hollow and dull. It was as if his intelligence had been taken away and he had been reduced to a puppet who could only obey orders.
"cannot……"
"Can't...betray..."
"You can't betray Shrek, you can't..."
"..."
Gradually, as the voice completely occupied her mind, Ma Xiaotao, whose eyes were dull, began to mutter to herself involuntarily. Every repetition is filled with inexplicable determination.
At the same moment——
When Su Luoheng saw Ma Xiaotao's face was pale, her expression was blurred and changing, her eyes were empty, and her forehead was dripping with sweat, he knew that she was in some strange state.
"Ma Xiaotao, Ma Xiaotao??"
Su Luo tried to pat Ma Xiaotao's shoulder and call her name.
However, no matter how hard he shook and shouted, Ma Xiaotao could not regain his consciousness. She seemed to be possessed by a demon. He kept mumbling words like 'Shrek' and 'betrayal'.
"..."
Seeing this, Su Luoheng frowned.
Ma Xiaotao's current condition is very bad. If she is not awakened and regains consciousness, there is no guarantee that an accident will not happen. If she has a problem here, she will be in trouble again.
But how to wake her up in her current situation?
Otherwise, try increasing the intensity?
Since conventional methods cannot wake you up, you can only try the strongest physical awakening method. It is the simplest, most effective, and most versatile trick in all major special effects works: Ultra Slap!
Anyway, there is no better way now, so let's treat the dead horse as a living horse first. It's best if you wake up. If you don't, we'll talk again.
It's all for Ma Xiaotao, she must understand this good intention.
Su Luoheng thought silently in his mind and successfully convinced himself.
"wake up!"
Su Luoheng straightened Ma Xiaotao's head, then rounded his arm and threw an Ultra slap.
"Snapped--"
A clear and loud slap sounded.
Visible to the naked eye, Ma Xiaotao's delicate right cheek was instantly red and swollen, and five bright red finger marks quickly appeared.
"ah--"
Ma Xiaotao woke up instantly.
The confused and empty eyes gradually came back to reality.
Ma Xiaotao looked around and saw Su Luoheng standing in front of her. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and his eyes became confused again, as if he had been stunned.
Just when Su Luoheng was hesitating whether to make any more corrections, Ma Xiaotao's eyes finally regained consciousness. Su Luoheng also retracted his arm angrily and handed over a cup of tea.
"What happened to you just now? Has it happened before?"
"It's okay."
Ma Xiaotao shook her head weakly.
Just when he was about to say something, his eyebrows suddenly frowned.
"Why do I feel like my face is burning?"
Ma Xiaotao gently touched her already red and swollen cheek, and while making a hissing sound, she looked at Su Luoheng suspiciously.
Su Luoheng said without changing his expression: "You fell down just now, maybe you scratched something at that time."
"..."
Ma Xiaotao felt something was wrong. The pain on her cheek didn't feel like scratching something. Instead, it felt like a burning sensation, as if someone had slapped her in the face.
However, thinking that it was Su Luoheng who woke him up, Ma Xiaotao didn't think much about it. I just felt like I was worrying too much.
"..."
Su Luoheng suddenly said: "What did you want to say just now?"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao remembered the soul bone thing she was about to mention just now, and a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
