Chapter 151 Surveillance Mission
The next day, early morning.
The same time, the same place, the same wooden bed, and two people slept, both completely naked.
However, Ma Xiaotao's sleeping posture wasn't so elegant; she was nestled in Wu Xuan's arm, her long, shapely legs draped over him, her breasts distorted by the pressure.
In short, she seemed to be clinging to Wu Xuan.
A gentle breeze blew into the wooden house, ruffling Ma Xiaotao's slightly reddish hair.
Wu Xuan felt a tickle on his nose and opened his tightly closed eyes.
Wu Xuan's slight movement naturally didn't escape Ma Xiaotao's notice. Her pink phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she lazily asked, "What time is it?"
"It should still be early, but we have a surveillance mission today, so it's better to get up early." With that, Wu Xuan pushed away Ma Xiaotao, who was clinging to him, and sat up, starting to search for his usual clothes in his soul tool.
Although Ma Xiaotao wanted to sleep a little longer, Wu Xuan was already up, so she sat up as well.
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan! I never noticed before, but I didn't expect you to have such a good figure!" Ma Xiaotao glanced at Wu Xuan while getting dressed, secretly swallowing.
"Senior Sister! Be serious, we have a mission together later!" Wu Xuan said helplessly. "Hehe! Okay! Okay! I know." Ma Xiaotao quickly got dressed as well.
Because she was leaving the academy to carry out a mission, Ma Xiaotao didn't wear the red school uniform of the inner academy students, but changed into a fitted red outfit. To highlight her perfect figure, she tied her long red hair into a ponytail with a ribbon.
After the two finished breakfast, they headed towards the ferry of the Sea God Pavilion.
When they arrived at the ferry, a male student with bright eyes and a somewhat thin build was already waiting there.
"Senior Sister, Junior Brother Wu Xuan." Yao Haoxuan stepped forward and greeted them warmly.
"Senior Yao, it's been a long time." Wu Xuan stepped forward and smiled.
Yao Haoxuan stepped forward and patted Wu Xuan on the shoulder, saying enviously, "Wu Xuan, I heard you're almost a Soul Emperor! How are we old-timers supposed to compete with you, you're so monstrous!"
Wu Xuan shook his head and chuckled, "I haven't reached Soul Emperor yet. Even if I do, you guys will still be my seniors, Yao."
"Haha! Wu is really something, unlike that Xu Sanshi. That kid thinks he's so great, but I only managed to knock him down with two punches." Yao Haoxuan said with a silly grin.
"Alright, enough nonsense. Wu's second martial soul is a mental attribute. We'll mainly be looking at him for this surveillance mission. We'll be responsible for cooperating." Ma Xiaotao said, tossing her long hair tied in a ponytail.
"Of course, I've always been worst at investigation missions." Yao Haoxuan nodded.
After chatting for a while, the three of them left Shrek City together.
Sea God Pavilion.
Old Mu lay on a recliner, with Yan Shaozhe in front of him.
"Teacher, Junior Brother has already set off. This is his first time carrying out a surveillance mission, and he will also have to face evil soul masters. Should I follow him secretly to prevent any accidents?" Yan Shaozhe asked.
Elder Mu shook his head upon hearing this and slowly said, "A fledgling eagle that does not leave its protection cannot fly and grow. Besides, the improvement in your Junior Brother's strength in the past two years may even exceed your expectations."
"Yes." Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly.
Outside Shrek City, the three of them shouldered the Level 6 flying soul tools exclusive to inner court students.
Ma Xiaotao and Yao Haoxuan had used these before, so their start was very smooth.
"The elders of the Sea God Pavilion were truly prescient! Since we were equipped with flying soul tools, our travels on surveillance missions have become several times easier." Yao Haoxuan exclaimed as he flew high in the sky.
Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly upon hearing this: "I don't think these flying soul tools are very useful to me. Although the flight speed is much faster than when I fly with my martial soul, it's far less agile."
"Senior! The academy gave us these tools, so let's use them. Just think of soul tools as tools exclusive to soul masters. Farmers use hoes and sickles to harvest crops, so it's normal for soul masters to use soul tools to assist with travel and cultivation, isn't it?" Wu Xuan said helplessly.
"Huh! Now that you mention it, it actually makes sense. So why were we so resistant to soul tools before?" Ma Xiaotao was bewildered, her phoenix eyes filled with confusion.
"Was it because you guys were mindless haters?"
"You're the mindless one! Humph! I'm ignoring you." With that, Ma Xiaotao suddenly accelerated, instantly leaving the two behind.
Wasn't he telling the truth? Wu Xuan asked himself in surprise.
Yao Haoxuan, standing to the side, couldn't help but give Wu Xuan a thumbs up. "Amazing! Junior Brother Wu Xuan. You can even lecture the legendary active volcano of the inner courtyard, and Senior Sister didn't even lay a hand on you!"
Wu Xuan's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Is Senior Sister Xiaotao's reputation in the inner courtyard really that bad?"
"Bad! In the inner courtyard, apart from us Shrek Seven Devils from the previous year, who among the ordinary students dares to approach her?" Yao Haoxuan said, his body shivering involuntarily.
"No way! I think Senior Sister Xiaotao is... pretty nice." As he spoke, Wu Xuan couldn't help but recall Ma Xiaotao lying in his arms, looking shy and bashful.
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan! You're sick, really sick!"
After four or five days of travel, Wu Xuan and his companions finally arrived near their mission objective.
"Lingguang City is just ahead, the most important transportation hub on the front lines of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The strange disease we need to investigate in our mission has broken out in this area," Ma Xiaotao said calmly.
"Senior Sister, did the letter of appeal from the Lingguang City Governor's Office provide a detailed description of this strange disease? For example, is it contagious?" Wu Xuan asked seriously. Based on his understanding of evil soul masters, those beasts were definitely capable of such a thing. As soon as Wu Xuan finished speaking, Yao Haoxuan, who was looking at the map, also looked at Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao said, "There is a description, but this strange disease doesn't have the ability to infect people, but there are quite a few people in this area who are sick. That's the strangest thing."
"Moreover, healing soul masters from Xingluo City have come to see it. It's said that the disease can be cured, but there are too many people sick, and even if several healing soul masters worked themselves to death, they wouldn't be able to help."
Wu Xuan nodded, his face serious. It's not contagious, but the number of people getting sick is increasing daily; this really seems like the work of an evil spirit master.
After resting for a while, the three changed into ordinary clothes. Ma Xiaotao and Wu Xuan also slightly disguised themselves, looking much more ordinary, just like Yao Haoxuan.
Otherwise, with their looks and demeanor, they would be extremely conspicuous anywhere, making the investigation of the illness naturally difficult.
