Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Shrek Academy, inside the inner courtyard.

Ma Xiaotao was saying goodbye to her friends and getting ready to go home for dinner.

By this time, his teacher's wife should have already prepared the meal.

But before she could take more than a few steps, an uninvited guest stopped her.

After seeing the uninvited guest's face clearly, Ma Xiaotao asked in confusion, "Dugu, what do you want with me?"

"Little Peach, Mo Yan is looking for you. Can you come with me?"

Dugu Luo extended the invitation in a polite tone, without the slightest hint of condescension, unlike a typical troublesome Shrek student.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's first reaction was not to agree or refuse, but to cautiously ask, "I don't think I've offended her this semester, have I?"

Ever since being thoroughly defeated by Mo Yan last time, Ma Xiaotao has basically dared not cause trouble; in fact, after returning from the Soul Master Competition, she has been avoiding this scoundrel at all times.

He did this simply so that he could live a peaceful life in the academy.

Upon hearing this question, Dugu Luo couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth: In the eyes of this group of people, is Lord Mo Yan someone who loves to bully others?
"Just come with me." Dugu Luo didn't explain further, but after a pause, she added, "Anyway, I won't harm you."

Watching Dugu Luo turn and leave, Ma Xiaotao remained silent for a moment before finally following him.

Although she was filled with trepidation, she couldn't help but wonder: Why did Mo Yan suddenly come looking for her?
A corner in the distance.

"Xiao Tao, she..." Yan Shaozhe was about to step forward when he was stopped by the person next to him.

"Shao Zhe, don't go over there." Mu En's voice suddenly rang out.

Yan Shaozhe immediately stopped in his tracks, looking at his suddenly appearing master with confusion, and said anxiously, "Teacher, what if something happens to Xiaotao again later? Her relationship with Moyan is already strained, if..."

"Alright." Mu En glared at his apprentice with annoyance, and patiently explained, "My intuition tells me that Xiao Tao will be fine this time. Besides, Mo Yan is actually very reasonable, unlike you who is so impulsive."

As they talked, Mu En didn't forget to steer the conversation toward Yan Shaozhe.

Hearing his master point the finger at him, Yan Shaozhe quickly lowered his head and dared not speak again.

He was terrified that if he kept talking, his master would slap him unconscious again.

I don't know why, but lately my master has been getting more and more hands-on.

In particular, Master Xuan has been "swimming with the fish" in the Sea God Lake these past few days.

In order not to follow in Master Xuan's footsteps, Yan Shaozhe had no choice but to trust his master and keep quiet.

On the other side, Ma Xiaotao was terrified the whole way, constantly saying to Dugu Luo Nian:

"Dugu, you'll really be alright, right? My frail body can't withstand her antics."

"If she gets really angry then, you'll have to talk to your Master Mo Yan, please!"

"..."

In her eyes, Mo Yan was like a demon king who could beat people up at any moment.

Dugu Luo was getting a little annoyed by the nagging, so he stopped and turned around, saying seriously to Ma Xiaotao, "Don't worry, Xiaotao."

"Lady Mo Yan always adheres to the principle of 'I will not offend others unless they offend me.' As long as you haven't provoked her, you don't need to be afraid."

The two quickly arrived at their destination.

Dugu Luo knocked on the door and heard Mo Yan inside say "Please come in," before leading Ma Xiaotao inside.

Mo Yan had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Dugu Luo bring Ma Xiaotao in, she couldn't help but take another look at this classmate who always seemed to avoid her.

Since the last time she was "taught a lesson," the child acknowledged her own abilities but also felt a bit more afraid.

Once inside the courtyard, they either hid from me or, when facing me, acted like shy kittens, barely daring to utter a word.

Mo Yan thought to himself: It seems that even the most irritable personality can be "cured".

"Sit down," Mo Yan said. Upon hearing this, Dugu Luo immediately found a seat and sat down naturally; but Ma Xiaotao was still standing there dumbfounded, not daring to move.

"You sit down too," Mo Yan said to Ma Xiaotao.

"Where should I sit?" Ma Xiaotao's voice trembled with nervousness.

Looking at the extremely reserved Ma Xiaotao, Mo Yan suddenly had a mischievous idea and deliberately said, "If you don't mind, you can sit on my lap."

After saying that, she patted her fair thigh, gesturing for Ma Xiaotao to come over.

Ma Xiaotao glanced at Mo Yan's slender and beautiful white legs, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "This...this isn't appropriate, is it?"

Dugu Luo, standing to the side: ? ? ?

Her gaze instantly turned hostile, staring intently at Ma Xiaotao, her eyes seeming to say: If you dare to sit here, I'll poison you!
Ma Xiaotao keenly sensed Dugu Luo's hostility, quickly pointed at her, and said to Mo Yan, "She...she doesn't seem too happy."

Mo Yan rested his chin on his hand, turned his gaze to Dugu Luo, and asked with a half-smile, "Luo, do you want to sit too?"

"Lord Mo Yan, is it...is it alright?" The unfriendly look in Dugu Luo's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of restraint and anticipation as she tentatively asked.

Mo Yan: ...

Well, she underestimated Alo's "resistance" to her.

She turned back helplessly and said to Ma Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, just find a seat."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Ma Xiaotao nodded blankly, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, as if she felt she had missed an opportunity to get closer to Mo Yan.

Dugu Luo also looked disappointed, and even showed a wronged little expression ┭┮﹏┭┮, hoping that Mo Yan would notice him.

But Mo Yan has always been lazy and loves to play dumb.

She completely ignored Dugu Luo's petty emotions and went straight to the point with Ma Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, do you want to get rid of the drawbacks of the Evil Fire Phoenix and completely evolve into the ultimate fire?"

"what???"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's mind went completely blank, and her face was filled with utter bewilderment.

She never expected that Mo Yan had asked Dugu Luo to summon her to discuss this matter.

Mo Yan didn't urge her, but just watched quietly as Ma Xiaotao fell into deep thought, waiting for her answer.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's brain was working frantically.

Although she usually seems carefree and not like a thoughtful person, her teacher also taught her that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Therefore, she concluded that this person in front of her must want to get something out of her.

She composed herself and asked curiously, "Mo Yan, you wouldn't be so kind, would you?"

“Of course not.” Mo Yan nodded frankly, then added, “You can think of it as me investing in you.”

"Investment?" Ma Xiaotao frowned, not understanding.

"What I mean is, I value your potential very much and believe that you can achieve great things in the future, and even bring me certain benefits, which is why I chose to help you. Do you understand?" Mo Yan explained patiently.

"Huh?" Ma Xiaotao was taken aback at first, then suddenly blurted out, "But we're all girls, we can't have children!"

Mo Yan: ???
Dugu Luo: !!!

Moon: ...

Yan Shaozhe:......

Silence is Cambridge tonight.
