Under the influence of alcohol, her body and mind completely relaxed.

Her aura suddenly increased, and her soul power naturally increased by one level as well.

Sensing the changes within herself, Zhang Lexuan realized that she had been under too much mental strain lately.

It was this picnic with Beibei that helped her relax and unwind.

She couldn't help but turn her gaze to the busy little figure in front of her, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She understood Beibei's good intentions.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She should have been the one taking care of Beibei, but instead, she was the one being taken care of.

Seeing Beibei's sunny and happy smile, Zhang Lexuan's heart couldn't help but feel a little warmer.

Just then, a cheerful voice broke the warm moment.

"Wow! Sure enough, someone's having a barbecue here. I knew the smell was coming from here."

A figure in fiery red rushed over, quickly approaching and greeting Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan, "Are you senior students from the inner courtyard? My name is Ma Xiaotao!"

Upon hearing the name, Beibei couldn't help but turn to look at the other person.

A little girl of about ten years old, dressed in a long red dress, was lively and passionate. Her long red hair was like a burning flame, her face was delicate, and her light pink eyes were mischievous.

"My name is Zhang Lexuan. You must be Dean Yan's new disciple, but I don't think I've ever seen you outside before," Zhang Lexuan said softly.

"My martial spirit has some flaws, so my teacher kept a close eye on me. It's been much more stable lately, which is why he let me out," Ma Xiaotao said with a sweet smile.

Although she looks quite young, it's clear that she'll grow up to be a beauty.

Beibei walked over and introduced herself, "My name is Beibei."

"You're so young, are you also an inner court student?" Ma Xiaotao asked, somewhat puzzled. She looked at Beibei, who was even shorter than her.

"No, I just live here, just like you," Bei Bei said with a smile. At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was still very innocent and naive, completely different from the future Flame Demon.

Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly, her long red hair swaying gently. She assumed that Beibei, like her, was a disciple of one of the elders or deans of the Sea God Pavilion.

She wanted to say something more, but her stomach suddenly growled. She blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

"We're having a picnic, come join us!" Beibei turned slightly to the side and invited.

"Okay! I look a few years older than you, you can just call me Sister Xiaotao." Ma Xiaotao was originally attracted by the aroma here, and her eyes were full of anticipation. Her shyness from before had long been forgotten.

"Try this grilled meat, it's one of a kind!" Beibei handed over a skewer of meat that was grilled to a perfect crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Ma Xiaotao didn't stand on ceremony. After taking a bite, her pale pink eyes lit up instantly, and she mumbled, "It's so delicious! This is the best barbecue I've ever eaten."

The three people sat together, grilling various foods, filling the air with a delicious aroma.

Ma Xiaotao was naturally lively and enthusiastic, and she quickly became familiar with Beibei and Zhang Lexuan.

Seeing how skilled Beibei was at grilling skewers, she couldn't resist trying it herself, but her skewers were either undercooked or burnt to a crisp.

"How could this be? It looks so simple," Ma Xiaotao said, somewhat unconvinced.

"You can use your soul power to control the heat..." Beibei regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth.

Ma Xiaotao held a few meat skewers, channeled her soul power into them, and instantly, dark red flames erupted from her body like a geyser, burning the skewers in her hands to ashes.

Zhang Lexuan quickly intervened and extinguished the flames released by Ma Xiaotao, otherwise the area would have turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"The power of this flame is immense, approaching the ultimate level. With such talent, it's no wonder Dean Yan accepted you as his disciple." Zhang Lexuan was somewhat surprised. The other party was only ten years old, yet his soul power cultivation was already over level twenty, not far from reaching level thirty Soul Venerable.

"Um, sorry, I couldn't control myself just now." Ma Xiaotao's fair face was covered with a lot of ash, making her look like a little kitten.

She realized she had made a mistake, clutching the hem of her skirt with both hands, worried that she would be disliked.

Since she awakened her martial soul, her flames have been out of control from time to time, sometimes affecting her rationality and causing her to destroy things madly.

Therefore, she has never had any friends, for fear that she might accidentally lose control and hurt someone.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Ma Xiaotao muttered, her emotions somewhat unstable, her light pink eyes gradually turning red, showing a hint of wanting to go berserk.

Just as Zhang Lexuan was about to make another move, Bei Bei took the initiative, raising his hand to place on Ma Xiaotao's shoulder. His body radiated a pure aura of light, continuously purifying Ma Xiaotao's rampaging evil fire.

Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is inherited from Ma Hongjun ten thousand years ago. The quality of her phoenix flames has reached the level of the ultimate fire, but because it is born with evil fire, the flames are impure and cannot exert their ultimate power.

Beibei's attempt to purify the other party's evil fire was too much of a stretch, and soon most of her soul power was depleted.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaotao's loss of control was only caused by emotional fluctuations. Under the influence of the power of light, her emotions quickly stabilized, and her evil fire was suppressed.

Beibei was slightly out of breath; the light attribute of her Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul was only close to the ultimate light.

To completely purify the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body, one must at least reach the level of ultimate light. Only by further advancing one's Radiant Holy Dragon Martial Soul and evolving it into the Radiant Dragon King can this be achieved.

Ma Xiaotao's mood plummeted even further; she already foresaw that the other person would treat her like a monster and distance themselves from her.

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of her lips, but a barely perceptible sadness flickered in her eyes, making her appear exceptionally complex.

"Your flames are very strong, but you still need to control them better. I can teach you some methods to control your soul power and flames later. If you can integrate them with your own spiritual power, you'll be able to use them even better," Beibei said earnestly.

"It would be best if he were under my supervision to prevent things from getting out of control," Zhang Lexuan echoed.

Ma Xiaotao was somewhat surprised that they were neither afraid of her nor disgusted with her!

Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up, her pale pink pupils sparkling. She hesitated slightly before asking, "You're willing to be my friends? You're not afraid of me? You don't dislike me?"

"Of course, how could we dislike someone as beautiful as you!" Bei Bei smiled warmly, "If it's a problem with your martial spirit, then we'll find a way to improve and control it. We'll always be by your side; we'll always be your friends."
