“Have you succeeded, Saintess?”
The old maid asked cautiously beside Yin Mianmian.
“Not yet.”
Since the moment she arrived, Yin Mianmian had been standing on the deck of the floating boat, gazing into the distance in silence, as if her soul had taken a vacation.
“You’ve failed to act?”
The old maid’s face turned pale, because if Yin Mianmian, who could scare even those ranked above her, had her eyes on someone, that person was in big trouble. Li Mo was only ranked nineteenth on the Qianlong List!
“Are there seniors from his sect guarding him?”
“Nope.”
Yin Mianmian continued to stare into the distance, softly shaking her head.
“Well… why not?” The old maid was confused.
Yin Mianmian’s already messy feelings were getting even more tangled with those questions.
“His strength is stronger than what’s recorded on the Qianlong List.”
“Stronger than the Qianlong List?” The old maid’s heavily made-up face froze.
He’s only sixteen!
She had thought being ranked nineteenth was already a stretch, but now it seems he’s even more amazing?
Suddenly, she heard Yin Mianmian ask, “Do you know what divine intent he observes? Once the consciousness soul is released, it can dispel any anger and resentment, leaving no room for any negative emotions.”
“This… is it Buddhist divine intent you’re talking about?”
“Does he look like one of those bald monks to you?”
“Uh…”
The old maid fell into deep thought, her expression turning troubled.
“Sometimes on the boat, attendants fall for the customers…”
“Speak plainly.”
Yin Mianmian frowned at her.
“Well, perhaps… it’s because of… love?”
“I love your mama’s fried dough twists!” Yin Mianmian almost lost her marbles.
The old maid shivered.
“Go to the Wind Listening Tower and withdraw Li Mo’s floral tribute.”
“Yes!”
The old maid hurried out as if she had received a royal pardon.
Yin Mianmian was left alone, once again deep in thought.
About that ‘love’ Li Mo mentioned.
Is there any possibility it’s true?
…….
Meanwhile, outside it was a deep dark night, and inside the lavish private room, the lights were twinkling.
Ying Bing, with her legs elegantly crossed, let out a gentle sigh.
Three times.
This was… the third time Li Mo had her under his thumb.
But her heart, usually so calm, was now a whirlpool of chaos, and not just from losing again.
Despite being on top of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a force so overwhelming that nobody dared to raise their heads against her, her journey was not without its perilous moments.
She had her own share of near-d*ath experiences and setbacks.
If you admit defeat, you’d end up losing for a lifetime.
That punishment was always lighter than the trials of celestial realms, less than the tribulations of enlightenment, and far less than the path to becoming an immortal.
However, her mindset now was more complete than ever—just go with the natural flow…
Gently channeling her consciousness soul.
Ying Bing opened her enchanting eyes, lightly pressed her lips together, and stared at Li Mo.
The ripples of serenity in her gaze began to solidify into focus.
“??”
Li Mo, now confused, found himself even more baffled.
Had she used the consciousness soul?
Ice Chunk suddenly looked so serious.
Little Li suddenly recalled his previous life, where a buddy had dragged him off for a foot bath. Before they left, he washed his feet, but the one attending to him was a lady who smoked while scrubbing away.
She was quite the force, attacking all his reflex points.
Under her teasing gaze, the ever-proud Little Li kept his mouth shut and even rebelliously muttered, “Is that all? Did you forget to eat or something?”
It’s common knowledge.
Ice Chunk always had a fierce competitive streak.
She never said “can’t.”
So, Little Li took a seat, unflinchingly meeting her eyes.
“Looks like it’s time for me to get serious.”
“…Okay.” Ying Bing, with a frosty expression, nodded.
“Then let’s change clothes.”
“?”
A friendly reminder: If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your shelf so you don’t lose it next time!
Next second.
Little Ke pulled out a set of clothes she had never seen before, something like a bellyband but way more scandalous.
“No changing clothes means no epic performance~”
Little Ke smirked.
You better back off now.
He was determined to find out if Ice Chunk could really…
“You need to… go outside first.” Ying Bing’s soft voice echoed.
“Yeah, I just said…”
Little Ke shook his head chuckling, about to stand up.
But then he heard:
“Leave the clothes.”
“!”
Smack—
The door closed, and the room plunged into darkness.
[Current touching area: 8%]
A statistical reminder popped up, it was quite considerate, as if worried the host wouldn’t complete the task.
This was probably calculated when he was massaging his own foot earlier.
Why did he enjoy that kind of stuff? So weird…
And that outfit was better than the last reward, but still limited.
Where did he get it?
And why was he carrying it around…
He usually seemed so warm and sunny, a true gentleman.
Ying Bing’s eyelashes fluttered, and she let out a faint sigh.
“Calm like water, go with the flow…”
In the room came a rustling sound.
Little Ke was leaning against the door frame, holding a brush in his hand, deeply inhaling.
He really hadn’t thought that Ice Chunk would just agree right away.
Before coming out, she had that kind of gaze…
“Not happening, you better perk up.”
“What are you doing, Little Ke?”
The opposite door swung open, and Tang Xiaobao saw the brush in Little Ke’s hand, looking puzzled.
“When I’m thinking of tough problems, I like to have something in my mouth.”
“Is that so?”
Tang Xiaobao didn’t quite get it.
But if Little Ke, that genius, had his reasons, he must be onto something.
So he followed suit, taking out a not-so-hard pill, skewering it with a small bamboo stick, and putting it in his mouth.
Thus, he also stuck a medicine-laden bamboo skewer in his mouth, his perfectly sculpted face took on a serious expression.
“Little Ke, what problems are you facing? Let me help you think it through.”
“I’m thinking I might face a bloody disaster soon.”
“Seriously? I’m going to tell the Master!”
Tang Xiaobao became serious instantly.
Before he could take two steps, he was turned around by Little Ke.
Little Ke said helplessly, “It’s not a big deal; I might just have a bit of high bl**d pressure.”
“Then just take some medicine!” Tang Xiaobao was relieved.
“Will it help?”
“Or maybe you could lick me a couple of times to try it out?”
“…Tang Xiaobao, just go play, I’ll figure it out myself.”
“Alrighty then.”
Tang Xiaobao walked away with a pill in his mouth.
After a while.
Suddenly, a clear voice traveled through the wooden door, carried by the wind: “You… can come in now.”
“Okay.”
Little Ke adjusted his consciousness soul slightly.
But oddly enough, the divine intent within his consciousness soul seemed weaker than usual today.
He suddenly felt that the bl**d Phoenix Secret Realm was more dangerous than it had ever been, but it didn’t make him as nervous as now.
If he backed down now.
He would never be able to lift his head in front of Ice Chunk again!
She had clearly learned the art of dealing the final blow.
Smack.
The door to the new world creaked open a crack.
As he stepped inside and caught a glimpse of Ice Chunk, Little Ke suddenly realized that his psychological expectations were way off.
It wasn’t because of the swimwear; although the outfit’s name was a bit strange, the style was still relatively normal.
What he underestimated was Ice Chunk.
