“I’m Li Mo, and my whole life has been about upholding justice… I’m here.”
Xiao Li classmate was already out of his mind; not only had Hammer Treasure developed its own thoughts, but even his brain seemed to have followed suit.
But just as he stepped behind the screen, he saw Ice Chunk already wearing her nightgown, with frost flowers adorning her black hair, which shimmered like starlight when she shook it slightly. Her snowy legs crossed as she sat on a low stool, her eyes half-closed with a smile.
“??”
Xiao Li classmate leaned back slightly.
“You finished washing?”
“Yes, I finished before calling you.”
Ying Bing tilted her head, looking as if she knew nothing at all.
“Ice Chunk, you’ve turned bad,” Li Mo said through gritted teeth.
“No, I’m a very serious person. Everyone says so.”
Ying Bing narrowed her eyes, trying to look serious.
“Why didn’t you call me after you were done?”
Ying Bing looked away, “The water will get cold, and you don’t like changing the water…”
“…”
Xiao Li classmate realized he couldn’t argue.
To give someone else the bathwater that tastes like ice chunk would be equivalent to drinking three bowls of water.
He couldn’t possibly pour it all down the drain, could he? He couldn’t do that, so he could only trust Ice Chunk.
“I’ve made progress in my massage techniques recently, Ice Chunk, wait a moment,” Li Mo threw his shirt aside.
Already having stepped out, sitting on the bed, Ying Bing secretly lowered her eyes to look at her snow-white, smooth toes, curling up unconsciously.
“That’s not right… something’s off.”
Li Mo looked at the clothes Ice Chunk had taken off, which strangely had a hint of the Southern Border style…
But he quickly remembered.
When Ice Chunk came in to bathe, she didn’t bring her big-headed doll or change of underwear…
So what is she wearing under her nightgown now?!
Li Mo gasped, almost inhaling the ice chunk flavored bathwater.
“Add more to my martial arts insight!”
Indeed, his finger technique talent was also quite good. After forty units of martial arts insight, “Plucking Flower Finger” had already reached the realm of transformation!
This also became one of the few martial arts that Li Mo had reached the realm of transformation besides hammer technique.
Li Mo put on his clothes and went out.
Ying Bing was wearing that pearl white lotus silk nightgown, her legs together as she sat on the soft couch, looking out the window at the moon, as if lost in thought.
She turned her head when she heard footsteps.
Li Mo’s face was solemn, “Ice Chunk, my martial arts have improved again.”
“What did you improve?”
“A masterful finger technique, reaching the realm of transformation!”
Ying Bing rarely saw people who could master finger techniques… let alone reach the realm of transformation.
Finger techniques were difficult to practice, less practical than fists and palms. If one wanted to increase lethality, weapons were better…
Seeing her doubtful expression, he said, “If you don’t believe me, stretch your foot over, let’s exchange some moves, stop when we touch.”
“?”
Ying Bing grabbed the hem of her skirt, thinking he really wanted to exchange something, but it probably wasn’t martial arts.
But she still placed her slightly curled little foot on his leg.
“Take this move!”
Li Mo grabbed her small foot!
Ying Bing continued looking out the window, but gradually, the moonlight in her eyes changed from the bright moon in the sky to ripples in a well… the hand holding the big-headed doll tightened.
She took a deep breath, just as Xiao Li classmate was about to increase the force, she softly said,
“When did you learn this?”
“Just recently,” Li Mo didn’t even look up.
Ying Bing pursed her lips, thinking he had quite a talent in this area, and softly said,
“But weren’t you focusing on practicing the sword recently?”
“!”
Li Mo’s movements paused for a moment, then he thought for a bit and said,
“Recently, I hit a bottleneck and learned slowly…”
Xiao Li student’s recent swordsmanship comprehension progress wasn’t ideal.
“Weren’t you doing well before?”
“Yes, I understood chivalrous swordsmanship quickly, but governance swordsmanship is very slow.”
Xiao Li was frustrated.
Governance swordsmanship included scholar swordsmanship and general swordsmanship.
At this rate, he might not see imperial swordsmanship, which was fine since he wasn’t interested in it anyway.
“Why did you start learning the sword in the first place?”
Ying Bing moved her toes, curious and asked.
Xiao Li held her warm and fragrant hand, thinking for a moment and said, “For fun… it’s so cool to wield a sword, graceful and free-spirited, living an adventurous life, roaring when seeing injustice, showing off in front of others…”
“Do what makes you happy.”
“…”
Xiao Li was stunned, he looked up at Ice Chunk, but found her face, illuminated by the moonlight, was a mix of light and shadow, looking at him gently and softly.
“For fun, it doesn’t matter whether you’re good at it or not, as long as you’re happy.”
“Good!”
Xiao Li’s eyes lit up, as if he understood something.
Ying Bing smiled, but then he said,
“In fact, finger techniques are also my hobby, even more enjoyable than wielding a sword.”
“?”
Gradually, Ying Bing relaxed, no longer tense.
This seemed to be the first time she lost to Xiao Li in their sparring, but she had to admit…
Transformed finger techniques were truly impressive…
As she relaxed her body, Ice Chunk’s heart also relaxed.
She didn’t want Xiao Li to do things he didn’t like because of her, whether it was practicing the sword or going to the Heavenly Phoenix Realm.
In the Heavenly Phoenix Realm, it felt like going through a lifetime, and that burden was too heavy.
It would be better to let him stay as a childish ghost…
“Alright.”
Xiao Li reluctantly let go of her little foot and yawned.
But he found that Phoenix Sky Empress had already fallen asleep on the soft couch, her peaceful and serene sleeping face beautiful and tranquil.
Ice Chunk truly didn’t treat Xiao Li as an outsider!
“When did you fall asleep?”
Xiao Li muttered, lifting her soft and fragrant body, hugging her. But he suddenly realized, because the feeling in his hands told him…
She didn’t have any Southern Border customs.
She really didn’t…
Not good!
Xiao Li silently and quickly laid her back on the bed, covering his nose, about to leave, but an unconscious hand grabbed his clothes, so he sat back down.
Now that he was already bleeding, staying here overnight was unbearable.
So he entered the seed of the world.
“Who lives in the big pineapple in the deep sea~”
After watching an episode of SpongeBob, Xiao Li’s state improved. He sighed,
“To do what makes you happy, you have to pay a price, even getting injured and bleeding…”
“But Xiao Li, with your iron resolve, how can you easily give up?”
Xiao Li just figured it out.
Since he definitely wouldn’t be able to master imperial swordsmanship and governance swordsmanship, why not focus on chivalrous swordsmanship and fully master it?
Xiao Li thought that Ice Chunk must mean this.
He was practically a genius.
