Chapter 56: Ma Xiaotao's Guilt! (Second update!)

Hu-hu-hu~

Cold wind whistled, and Xu Nian'an was slowly frozen awake in his sleep.

Slowly opening his eyes, Xu Nian'an saw a vast expanse of white.

This is... on a snowy mountain?

His body felt heavy, as if being pressed by something, and his breathing was very obstructed, as if blocked by something.

Is this... altitude sickness?

Have I arrived deep in the Extreme North from my memories?

While stunned, Xu Nian'an's nose suddenly smelled a faint fragrance; the scent was very special.

Xu Nian'an felt like he had smelled it somewhere before, very familiar, but he couldn't recall the source of the fragrance no matter what.

Facing the snow-white expanse, a snowfield that stretched as far as the eye could see, after seeing clearly the position his head was currently in, Xu Nian'an gasped.

Extreme North... between two snowy mountains?

Compared to the famous Mount Everest, these... oh no, these two towering peaks were fiery, as if they were still alive!

Purr-purr~

With the sound of breathing, the mountains rose and fell, crustal movements, trembling from time to time.

"Majestic, towering... showing the sacred inviolability of the snowy mountains!"

As the black clouds in the sky dispersed, Xu Nian'an saw the true face of Mount Lu.

Extreme North!

As the red clouds of dusk broke open, a pair of bandage-wrapped hands reached toward the peaks!

Bang!

A giant hand broke through the red clouds blocking the snow peaks, revealing the true face of the towering peaks.

Pfft, blood splashed everywhere, staining the silver-white snowfield red.

Looking at the giant hands on the mountain top, Xu Nian'an widened his eyes.

"That... there are actually two soul beasts hidden on the mountain top!"

"And... who is the owner of these hands?"

"Hundred-thousand-year soul beast? Million-year? Demigod... or a god?"

Xu Nian'an didn't know; he began to panic.

He tried to rely on the two snowy mountain peaks to escape the sight of the owner of those hands!

A giant hand slapped onto the silver-white mountain peak, and the snowy mountain began to collapse and tremble.

Boom-boom-boom!!!

Before long, the snowy mountain turned into a volcano about to erupt, bright red.

Tap-tap-tap!!!

Bang-bang-bang!!

Roar!!!

Sensing that the volcano was about to erupt, the soul beasts all around began to wail and roar, launching a terrifying beast tide in an attempt to trade for survival!

Unfortunately, before an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

Similarly, after a volcanic eruption, within the eruption zone, no one is a stranger, because the sky-covering snowfield is full of acquaintances!

From then on, there would never be a soul beast in the Extreme North that would call out "cold."

The avalanche happened, and a large area of snow began to slide down from the mountain top. Xu Nian'an was helpless; he could only run.

He didn't know how long he ran, but Xu Nian'an looked up; he was still under those two active volcanoes. He hadn't been able to run out of the distance of the volcanic eruption.

Suddenly, not far away, Xu Nian'an discovered a cave entrance, with water and blood around it; the cave was very deep, like an abyss.

Hide inside... hiding inside might still have a way.

This was Xu Nian'an's first thought, and it was also his last way to survive.

Yin!!!

In the sky, a soaring giant dragon discovered its prey.

Fierce light flashed in its eyes, and it opened its sharp dragon claws, muscles appearing, veins bulging!

Bang!!!

The earth was trembling, the snowy mountain was wailing, it did it, it did it!

The giant dragon grabbed Xu Nian'an just as he was about to enter the cave entrance.

And its body also slid past the blood-red snowfield, its huge body missing the timing to enter the cave.

Pfft!

The uneven mountain waist was consolidated by the red earth; no matter how much the towering volcano shook, it remained motionless.

This also became a support point for the volcano to continue erupting.

His mouth was filled with a warm, fishy, sweet feeling.

Xu Nian'an felt he couldn't breathe, and being held tightly by the dragon claws, the difficulty of breathing increased, and there was a strange taste of blood in his mouth.

Bang! Boom!

The volcano was slowly distorted by the chaos, and the two volcanoes erupted instantly!

The earth was ruthlessly torn apart, revealing the final thin membrane that consolidated the foundation of the snowy mountain.

Whoosh-whoosh~

The snowfield was melted into water by the high temperature of the volcano, revealing the cave buried by the earth under the snowy mountain.

That was a cave that was white all over.

The snow water melted from the snow after the avalanche formed a hot spring in front of the cave.

The tails of the two straight mountain peaks were slowly separated.

The next second, Xu Nian'an's vision was surrounded by flames, the world turned into a sea of fire, and even the giant dragon could only "love," abandoning its cultivation and constantly shrinking.

"The... the end of the world!"

The fiery body and the scalding burn made Xu Nian'an instantly open his eyes.

Ceiling... dormitory?

Wait, was everything just now a dream?

【Ding, congratulations to the host, your craftsmanship is superb, Goddess Ma Xiaotao's favorability toward you has increased by one!】

【Ding, congratulations to the host, your "mouth... technique" is great, Goddess Ma Xiaotao felt a different kind of feeling for the first time, favorability increased by one!】

Listening to the prompt in his mind, Xu Nian'an woke up instantly, looking at his bandage-wrapped hands.

Perhaps... everything just now wasn't a dream.

It was just presented in another way.

His pajamas had long since been burned to nothing by the flames, and beside Xu Nian'an was a figure wrapped in flames.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—six soul rings flashed constantly, and a phoenix phantom appeared.

Not long after Xu Nian'an woke up, she also opened her eyes, but at this moment, she was no different from Xu Nian'an.

Seeing this, Xu Nian'an's eyes lit up. Looking at Ma Xiaotao's excellent figure and beautiful face, a different kind of feeling soon rose.

After opening her eyes, Ma Xiaotao also noticed Xu Nian'an. Noticing that something was wrong with him, she retreated slightly.

Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling~

The harsh bell rang out.

"Junior brother, junior brother, wake up, you should go to school!"

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an's body stiffened, looking at Ma Xiaotao who was blocking him.

"Go to school? This is still time to go to school? It's just this little bit left, you... you let me go to school?"

Bang!

Xu Nian'an was pushed away, and then Ma Xiaotao rushed into the room like crazy and locked it.

"Senior Sister~"

"Senior Sister, open the door, I promise I won't go in!"

"Xiao Tao sister~ Big sister, open the door!!!"

No matter how Xu Nian'an shouted, Ma Xiaotao didn't open the door, just said guiltily.

"Sor... sorry, I... I'm not ready yet."

She knew she had played with fire, but... but she really couldn't give herself to Xu Nian'an at this time.

【Ding, Goddess Ma Xiaotao's favorability increased by five because of her guilt toward you!】

... 【All soul ring ages of the second martial soul increased by five thousand years!】

【Second martial soul, first soul ring, fifteen thousand years!】

【Goddess Ma Xiaotao's favorability reached eighteen!】
