Little Ke was silent, his hand reaching out to pinch the corner of the veil.
“Your hand seems to have its own thoughts now.”
Ke Mo’s mouth twitched slightly. “This time, it’s the thought in my head.”
Though he wasn’t quite sure which head that was referring to.
Darn it, was he really unable to escape the law of soft versus hard? Otherwise, how could his mouth be so unwilling to cooperate?
Whoosh—
The moment the veil slipped away, Ke Mo held his breath.
He’d never felt this nervous before, and his mind had never been this empty.
When the wonderful vision he’d imagined countless times appeared right before his eyes, he realized that his imagination wasn’t quite enough after all.
The window sill was bathed in a layer of hazy moonlight, and the flickering lights inside the room made Ke Mo feel momentarily dazed.
The quiet yet restless girl from his childhood.
The cold and sacred girl of his adolescence, the one who seemed as wise as the heavens when practicing martial arts—she now appeared softer in the moonlit shadows.
At that moment, her eyes flowed with emotions, she glanced at him, then lowered her gaze, her lashes fluttering lightly.
She had no idea what kind of intoxicating charm she exuded.
Little Ke was obviously lost in this situation.
Hammer Treasure was also feeling a bit lost.
“The veil is off.”
“Uh-huh…”
“You have to take responsibility for me.”
Trying to prove he wasn’t a childish ghost, Ke Mo embarrassingly found himself unable to say anything tough. He meant to say, “I will take responsibility for you.”
“?”
Ying Bing’s head popped up with a question mark floating above it.
But seeing his guilty and serious expression, she couldn’t help but smile slyly, leaning in a bit closer and gazing at him with sparkling eyes.
“So does that mean I have to listen to you from now on?”
“Uh-huh, starting with not being a childish ghost. It’s every day like this, and the elders think I have no family standing.”
“I’ll listen to you, my husband.”
“!”
Little Ke’s body trembled; his iron will nearly shattered into pieces. If he looked in the mirror right now, he’d probably be as red as a tomato.
Why did her shiny, red lips have such a lethal effect as soon as they parted?
Ke Mo was sure she hadn’t meant it earnestly; she just wanted to toy with him until he was completely flustered and at her mercy.
That’s a bad Ice Chunk! And especially bad at that!
And poor Hammer Treasure’s brain was completely blank, seemingly set to be played with by the bad sister…
Wait!
His brain came to a halt, but something could take its place…
“Ice Chunk?”
“Hmm?”
“Weren’t you having blisters in your mouth earlier? Let me check if it’s better.”
“Wasn’t it already…”
Ke Mo pinched Ice Chunk’s chin, not letting her finish before leaning in for a kiss.
Sure, they had kissed before, but with so many people watching, it was just a peck—how could that compare to an inspection?
Everyone knows Little Ke is a diligent and responsible gentleman.
When he inspected, he did it with great attention to detail, and you could tell that by the way Ying Bing was shrinking into his embrace, gradually struggling for breath.
Little Ke’s mouth was the only part that wouldn’t harden, while Ying Bing was the complete opposite.
With his previously proud mouth now blocked, all she could do was whimper and hum. The bad Ice Chunk sister immediately turned a bit pitiful.
‘They say the sea silk feels great, but I think that’s wrong.’
Little Ke’s hands felt best when they were on Ice Chunk’s colorful legs.

The sea silk really can change color!
Suddenly trembling lightly, Li Mo took a moment to lower his gaze.
The color resembled a rose ablaze, glowing fiercely with a mesmerizing red.
‘Two hours.’
‘Even after passing out, the mouth still won’t harden.’
At first, Ying Bing was somewhat skeptical, but now she was beginning to wonder if…
She wouldn’t be able to keep her mouth from hardening either.
What kind of punishment was this, tied to some heart-matter, it seemed to have burned away completely, leaving her mind blank and foolishly dazed.
“Tonight, the Huanmo Sect…”
“Has everything been set up?”
Li Mo was a flash of brilliance type of genius, but this time, he had made thorough preparations.
If they were still lacking a fourth-level combat strength, could any preparations be considered thorough?
Ying Bing suspected Little Li had plotted all this beforehand, but she had no evidence, and right now, she didn’t have the heart to think about it; her brows furrowed deep.
One minute later.
After spending three hundred fifty spirit crystals, and having crafted with a master the three-thousand-year-old sea silk, there came a ‘rip’ and a howl of despair as it was tossed onto the ground.
The way it was torn looked a lot like some food wrapping paper.
And it definitely was shredded by someone who hadn’t eaten in three days; a real starving ghost.
Combined with that splash of red, it was shocking.
‘Thank goodness I haven’t eaten the Dragon-Phoenix Fetal God Pill yet….’
She never imagined she’d be so relieved about this turn of events.
‘How do you unleash the last layer of Phoenix’s Cry in Heaven’s Zephyr?’
She also never thought she’d forget how to practice martial arts.
‘He didn’t secretly use Law of Heaven and Earth, did he? No way….’
She never thought there would come a day when she’d be so afraid of a particular martial art.
But the most unexpected things, perhaps, weren’t these three.
The predecessors of the Ice Chunk walked on thin ice, overlooking the world.
Even if she didn’t do it intentionally, when facing Li Mo, she would subconsciously assume the identity of a past person, so at first, calling him a childish ghost was genuinely because she thought he resembled a little boy who hadn’t grown up.
As time went on, Ying Bing found this curious.
Why did his seemingly childish behavior often yield unexpectedly effective results?
Thus, the seemingly cold and frosty palace master began to take him seriously; she was someone who didn’t like the unknown, as it meant losing control.
She discovered he was very smart and was growing up quickly.
Well, in every sense…
This would cause her, who had tread carefully in her past life, to be thrown into turmoil in this life, without drifting… cough!
To return to the main story, perhaps in the process of curiosity, she also threw herself in.
The Phoenix Sky Empress was extremely wise, knowledgeable about everything, yet she remained a blank slate regarding one matter, to the point that she hadn’t realized then…
That was when love began to descend.
After this, she truly couldn’t afford to treat him as a childish ghost anymore.
After all, his current fierceness made people uneasy; if he accidentally tapped into the Law of Heaven and Earth, one wouldn’t even dare contemplate it.
What’s childish ghost got to do with it?
“Hubby…..”
“?”
Her gentle voice created ripples on Li Mo’s heart lake, causing him to stiffen, as if he had frozen in place.
A person who had never fallen short of others, but now the first time she softened made Ying Bing breathe a sigh of relief.
Yet she had another unexpected matter in mind.
At this moment, softness would only have the opposite effect…
It wouldn’t soften at all.
Little Li and Hammer Treasure were even more excited.
