In the deep night, the flowing sound of water brought vitality to the silent night.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and its light was pouring down through the empty window of the Everlasting Dew Spring amidst the misty flowers.
Such beautiful moonlight would naturally make a decent person feel inspired, which was quite reasonable.
Thus, Little Li sat in the spring water, covering his nose with one hand, looking at the moon in the sky with a very serious expression.
Even though Ice Chunk was right beside him, he dared not turn his head.
He was afraid that if he looked back, he would explode.
Ying Bing did not enter the pool; she just sat by the edge of the pool, lowering her eyes to stare at her snow-white and delicate feet, occasionally playing with the water.
She was still half a head shorter than Little Li. Originally, she was of a type that was clear and cold, so beautiful that people felt oppressed and tense when they looked at her.
But when her small feet accidentally touched someone’s shoulder while playing with the water, it was actually she herself whose eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling nervous.
She didn’t know what she was thinking when changing clothes or talking at the hot spring entrance.
Perhaps it was her inherent unwillingness to admit defeat, never being weaker than others in her life?
Or perhaps she always felt that after two lifetimes as a person, she was the older sister and couldn’t let herself be bullied by the Childish Ghost…
Just now, she had indeed caused bl**d to come out of Little Li’s nose, winning the first round.
But what should they do now?
That’s why the Everlasting Dew Spring was so quiet.
Little Li dared not turn his head, afraid of seeing (·people·).
d*mn it, Ice Chunk had a slender waist and long legs, and he used to think she was (·) (·).
Phoenix Sky Empress did not dare to go into the water, fearing that Hammer Treasure might accidentally use the Heavenly and Earthly Method, causing more than necessary B=D.
“Looking down at the bright moon, it’s truly so.”
Li Mo raised his head to look at the sky and muttered to himself.
“?”
Ying Bing naturally did not understand this poem that even elementary school students knew. She was stunned, her beautiful eyes looking at the night sky:
“Isn’t it supposed to be ‘raising my head to look at the bright moon’?”
“I will raise my head and think of my hometown.”
Li Mo’s shoulders were a bit itchy from the splashing water. He reached out to scratch, but instead grabbed something smooth and soft, something he was particularly proficient in.
“If you want to return to Qinghe hometown tomorrow, I will go with you.”
Ying Bing lowered her eyes to look at her feet, gently moving them, but unfortunately, Little Li’s shoulders could not hold a four-room apartment.
“Not that hometown.”
Li Mo shook his head, not knowing whether he wanted to find some words for himself:
“In dreams, I often see a place vastly different from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. There are many tall buildings, and the bright lights can make the stars pale.”
“There’s only one sun during the day, but at night the moon seems to be about the same.”
“The people there don’t practice martial arts, but that land has no hunger or cold, no war.”
“Many people laugh there, wander there, d*e there…”
Little Li said, coughing lightly, almost singing again.
“We Childish Ghosts also have our melancholic moments, feeling lonely.”
Ying Bing went into the water, hugging her knees and sitting beside him, tilting her head to look at him, her beautiful eyes twinkling with laughter.
“Not feeling lonely.”
Li Mo shook his head. He was just nostalgic for a place he couldn’t return to, at least he lived a lifetime there.
“Now?”
He felt Ice Chunk move closer, pressing against him, moving to his side, the pool water no longer able to block his sense of her body heat.
His knee suddenly felt cool.
Li Mo was stunned, his mind unable to think, but his heart had already begun to throb violently.
The cold girl had a gentle look, treating your knee like a desk, whispering softly that she would take away your loneliness.
Who wouldn’t be confused?
“Now, looking down at the bright moon.”
Li Mo said seriously, trying to eat ice unnoticed.
—
Suddenly, a nose was pinched.
“In the daytime, when you were gathering stars for the Black Dan Scripture, you haven’t learned it yet. Now is the time to consolidate.”
Was Ice Chunk originally able to appear alongside Teacher Ice Chunk?
“Maybe.”
Of course, Little Li couldn’t hear it.
Teacher Ice Chunk did not foresee it early on. The system prompt sounded again, this time it was the countdown for rankings.
If he didn’t stop him from looking down at the moon, then wouldn’t it be…
One defeat, two punishments?
That wouldn’t do!
“The Taiyin, you’ve given me. Even though my divine will can still control your inner world, I found that the Black Dan Scripture contains a total of 365 stars running, among which the Sun and Taiyin need not worry about, but only two out of the 28 constellations, to reach the outer scene, at least three palaces must be arranged.”
“At any time, regardless of what kind of divine will, once it enters your inner scene, once covered, it cannot escape the star seal.”
“Today we’ll start with the five stars…”
Ying Bing said seriously.
Actually, what she said were all situations of Li Mo himself, and he had known them for a long time.
But listening to Ice Chunk teach made it seem captivating and infinitely mysterious.
Although it often made him feel overwhelmed, Little Li could also handle it calmly. His martial arts insights were not many, but he didn’t need to start from scratch.
The Black Dan was already in his inner world, and the standard answer was laid out before him.
What he needed to do was follow Cold Fairy’s teacher to go through the process.
Emperor Jingtai did not explicitly state it.
But Li Mo could feel that this emperor of Da Yu had far from absolute control over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and his power.
Recreating the Divine Sword of the Celestials, the other party not only had no objections but also tacitly allowed the sword to be taken away, with no mention of it in the imperial edict.
It couldn’t be denied that Emperor Jingtai’s goodwill might contain appreciation.
A decision made by an emperor could not be based solely on appreciation.
Ice Chunk was the red heavenly fate. Unless he left her, the magnificent events of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would be unavoidable for him.
Before returning to the Imperial Capital, he hoped he could at least fully master the power he possessed.
“I hope there won’t be any trouble when returning to the Imperial Capital, at least not when accepting the edict…”
Li Mo thought to himself, silently mobilizing his martial arts insights.
Fifteen units of martial arts insights flowed away.
In the inner world’s starry sky, one of the five stars flickered and leaped, radiating splendid light.
Little Li held her snowy foot, with a high learning enthusiasm, pouring in the not-so-many remaining insights (martial arts insights) fiercely.
Soon enough.
Ying Bing spoke for a long time, picked up a grape from the floating tray and put it in her mouth, noticing that the system countdown had unknowingly approached.
One minute.
She secretly glanced at Li Mo, seeing him still immersed in the ocean of knowledge, thinking he was quite serious when doing his work…
She was lost in thought for a while, suddenly realizing that the time had reset to zero.
[Congratulations, Host, you’re second again.]
“?”
Now the system didn’t even show her rankings, directly announcing the results?
“I need to know how I lost…”
Ying Bing asked herself.
“The five stars are complete, and most of the martial arts insights have been used…”
Li Mo’s lips curled slightly, ready to tell Ice Chunk about the results of his studies.
Then he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing. It was Ice Chunk standing up, the water dripping along the curve of her body.
“!?”
…
