Chapter 29: The Evil Fire Phoenix, Ma Hongjun

The bright sun shone high in the sky, and a gentle summer breeze blew through Suotuo City. 

In the sweltering heat, the pedestrians on the streets wished they could wear almost nothing as they moved through the bustling avenues and alleys.

For men, it was all about seeking relief from the heat. For women, it was about showcasing their beauty while staying cool.

Indeed, the women on the streets swayed their hips in elegant qipaos, their figures drawing the attention and fantasies of many men as they passed by.

"Gege, have I made a mistake recently?"

A pair of young men and women walked out of the bustling Suotuo City. The girl glanced at the boy beside her, who looked somewhat unhappy, and asked softly.

"No, not at all," Mu Chen replied with a forced smile.

"Gege, why do you always seem unhappy? Is it because I rejected you?" Xiao Wu asked, her face slightly flushed, as if she had done something wrong, looking down.

"Which rejection?" Mu Chen asked, puzzled.

"The one you know!" Xiao Wu replied.

"You mean..." Mu Chen's expression changed.

"Mm."

Xiao Wu nodded, looking at Mu Chen's expression, she became even more convinced of her thoughts. After a pause, she quickly explained, "Gege, it's not that I don't want to give myself to you. It's just that my mom said it's not good for a girl's development to do that too early. It's yours, and it will always be yours! I'll be yours for life! Can we wait until I'm eighteen?"

"Ah?" Mu Chen was taken aback. What kind of play was Xiao Wu putting on?

"If you're impatient, then let's say sixteen. When I turn sixteen, I'll give myself to you!" Xiao Wu hastily amended, seeing Mu Chen hesitate.

"Xiao Wu..." Mu Chen was moved and pulled Xiao Wu into his embrace.

Although Xiao Wu had misunderstood him, Mu Chen's heavy heart these days was not due to what she assumed. It was because Shrek Academy had already started enrolling students, and he was at a loss for how to complete the second trial of the Chaos God by getting invited into the academy.

**Ding dong!** 

"Congratulations! You have triggered a minor trial in the second trial of the Chaos God: Defeat Ma Hongjun and save the fallen girl."

"Ma Hongjun?"

Mu Chen felt his interest piqued at the system's announcement.

At that moment, there were no villages around Mu Chen and Xiao Wu. Knowing the storyline of *Douluo*, he understood that the "chicken" would often be unable to control his evil fire and would threaten innocent girls.

Just as Mu Chen was pondering how to complete the task of defeating Ma Hongjun, a melodious voice rang out from ahead.

"Ma! Hong! Jun!"

The owner of the voice sounded angry, each word spoken with frustration.

"I won't be with you anymore. I really can't stand it; please leave me alone. Don't come looking for me again!"

"Mu Dan, have I treated you badly? Were you just pretending to be happy when we were together?" 

"You are good to me, and I really was happy with you. But... but I truly can't take it anymore! You're too much! We're not on the same level; just leave me alone! At this rate, I might end up in serious trouble!"

"This is all my martial spirit's fault. The dean said there will be a solution soon. Just give me a little more time!" 

"No, no! I have to think about my own life, and I also have to consider my family's safety!"

At the entrance of Suotuo City, a man and a woman were arguing. The girl, dressed in simple attire, clearly looked like a decent young lady, pleading with the man. The man wore predominantly red clothing, with a funky hairstyle, and his chubby appearance raised concerns about whether he might accidentally crush his future wife.

**Ma Hongjun!**

Mu Chen's heart raced. Knowing the storyline of *Douluo*, he recognized that this was the "Evil Fire Phoenix," Ma Hongjun.

The situation was clear. Ma Hongjun's martial spirit was uncontrollable, and whenever he saw a pretty woman, he would be overwhelmed by his evil fire, causing harm to those around him.

At this moment, the innocent girl was trying to break away from Ma Hongjun due to his martial spirit's influence.

However, listening to their conversation, it seemed there was another reason behind it.

"Wait a minute!"

As Mu Chen was lost in thought, Xiao Wu had already stepped forward, echoing the storyline.

As a rabbit, Xiao Wu could accept a man having multiple partners, but she absolutely would not tolerate forced affection or exploitation of women. Seeing that the girl didn't want Ma Hongjun's affections and that he was still harassing her, Xiao Wu couldn't bear it any longer.

"Hey, what a beautiful girl."

Ma Hongjun, with a lewd gaze, looked at Xiao Wu, who was cutely charming enough to be disarming, and his evil fire began to rise as he teased, "Do you want to take her place as my girlfriend? Sure, I agree!"

"Shut up!" 

Xiao Wu rushed forward, interrupting the grip Ma Hongjun had on Mu Dan, and shouted, "You little scoundrel! You're not learning anything good at such a young age! In broad daylight, do you want to force a girl? If you want to pursue someone, at least get their consent first!"

"This is our business; don't meddle! I can choose whichever woman I want without your permission. Stay out of my way, or I'll make you regret it!" Ma Hongjun declared angrily, pointing at Xiao Wu.

"You!" Xiao Wu's hands were on her hips, furious.

"Who are you pointing at?" Mu Chen stepped forward, seeing Xiao Wu being bullied, standing in front of Ma Hongjun.

"Whoever meddles in my business is who I'm pointing at!" Ma Hongjun boasted.

Swish!

Mu Chen kicked out, aiming for Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun had already anticipated the attack, moving swiftly to dodge Mu Chen's strike.

"Haha, how's that? Can't hit me, can you? Trying to show off in front of your girl using my hand? Sorry, you picked the wrong person!" Ma Hongjun laughed proudly.

"Is that so?" Mu Chen replied indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chen stepped forward and swept his leg toward Ma Hongjun again.

Bang!

Ma Hongjun attempted to block with both hands, but the impact from Mu Chen's kick still sent him sliding back five meters.

Ma Hongjun felt a twinge of alarm but scoffed, "No wonder you dare to meddle; turns out you're a soul master too. Since you two won't recognize the situation, let me show you what real strength is! Phoenix, manifest!"
