Passive Victory

The scene fell into a stalemate.

Xu Xiaoshou, blooming with flowers, stood motionless where he was.

Behind him, Mu Zixi had driven both feet into his waist and pierced both shoulders with her hands. Only her little head, with its twin ponytails, remained free to move.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, Mu Zixi took a deep breath of Xu Xiaoshou's scent.

"Ah~"

"This is the smell!"

The little girl moaned, her face utterly intoxicated.

This surging life force she had coveted from the very beginning was simply soul-snaring!

All her plotting had finally paid off.

Who could possibly resist? "Time to dig in!"

Fuck!

Xu Xiaoshou's scalp went numb at her words. Though he could not see, he could already imagine what was happening.

No...

"Crunch!"

Mu Zixi bared two gleaming little canine teeth and bit down viciously on the artery in his neck.

The spectators' legs tightened at the sight.

"Is this really okay?"

"Isn't the referee going to stop them?"

Xiao Qixiu truly had been about to go down, but Xu Xiaoshou shot him a look.

What did that mean? He did not want to be saved?

Or did he want Xiao Qixiu to save him?

Forget it. Mu Zixi should know her limits, and Xu Xiaoshou really did deserve a lesson! Watching the little girl's satisfied expression, he could feel her life force skyrocketing in a short span of time.

"Tsk, tsk..."

Xiao Qixiu found it a little too much to watch and decided to rescue Xu Xiaoshou.

Yet when he turned back, he froze.

Xu Xiaoshou...

Why did he look like he was enjoying it too???

Xu Xiaoshou had panicked a little at first. Who the hell would not panic when they ran into a kidney-stabber and a vampire? But he soon calmed down.

Mu Zixi was not merely sucking blood—she was mostly devouring his life force! If he had not been paralyzed, Xu Xiaoshou would have nearly laughed out loud.

He had nothing else, but life force? He had plenty of that! At the Innate level, "Endless Vitality" gave him practically infinite life force, didn't it? The moment he was injured, life force surged through his body in a wild flood, even crazier than taking pills.

And so, Xu Xiaoshou watched helplessly as the life force that had drained away one second was replenished the next.

If it could overflow, there would probably even be some left over...

Mu Zixi had already sensed that something was wrong. Why did this guy's life force feel impossible to drain?

If this had been an ordinary person, they would have turned into a dried corpse by now! Yet asking her to stop now...

Not. A. Chance!

Her little face was flushed as though she were drunk. She gulped down life force mouthful after mouthful, and her expression made it clear that she was completely addicted.

She simply could not stop!

Heaven knew just how irresistible this surging life force was to her, a wood-element cultivator!

Some sharp-eyed spectators had also realized something was wrong. If she kept sucking like this, something was going to happen! "What exactly is Junior Sister Mu absorbing? Is it really life force? Can a person have that much life force to absorb?"

Some people were terrified. Could it be that the moment Mu Zixi stopped, Xu Xiaoshou would instantly turn to ashes? "No, look carefully at Xu Xiaoshou's expression. This guy's life force seems endless..."

"But how is that possible? Is an Innate body really this powerful? Isn't that simply unsolvable?"

"Whew... I don't understand either. Maybe if you cultivate an Innate body yourself, you'll have your answer..."

Someone pointed at the arena. "Look, Xu Xiaoshou moved!"

Xu Xiaoshou had indeed regained the slightest bit of mobility.

As time passed, he could clearly feel that the girl behind him had truly become drunk. Her control over the "Paralysis Flower" atop his head had visibly weakened.

Without revealing anything, Xu Xiaoshou worked hard to reclaim control of his body.

Very soon, he could move his head slightly.

Stay calm. Think of something. She can't notice!

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes rolled, and the corner of his lips suddenly lifted.

"Light of Sharpness" instantly gathered around his hair. Xu Xiaoshou gave his head a slight shake, and the red flower was severed.

"Whoa, how did that flower fall off?"

Forget the distant spectators— even Xiao Qixiu, floating in midair, had not seen how the flower had fallen.

But everyone knew that Mu Zixi was finished! The little girl was clearly high on it, her eyes narrowed as she kept nuzzling and sucking, her teeth deeply embedded in Xu Xiaoshou's neck.

Xu Xiaoshou had regained basic control of his body, but his shoulders and both kidneys were still under her control, so he did not act rashly.

"Light of Sharpness" flowed again, reaching those four locations. Xu Xiaoshou's body shuddered.

Slash! The four thick vines embedded in his body were instantly severed.

He twisted around at lightning speed and seized Mu Zixi by the throat, intending to restrain her before she could react.

"Mm, let go of me, I still want to suck!"

Mu Zixi's face was dreamy. Clearly, the surging life force had overwhelmed her and robbed her of her will. Flailing her arms and kicking her feet, she grabbed Xu Xiaoshou's hand and tried to bite down on it.

Xu Xiaoshou hurriedly held her chin up with his left hand, raising her head high into the air.

"Mm, give it back to me..."

"Suck..."

"So good!" Mu Zixi murmured unconsciously.

Received a request. Passive Value +1.

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

What kind of bullshit request was that? She was sucking blood and still making requests!

He looked up at Xiao Qixiu, wanting to ask what he should do in this situation. Xiao Qixiu was equally dumbfounded. What exactly had happened? Wasn't Mu Zixi the one attacking? How had the primary and secondary roles switched mid-fight? The one sucking someone had lost her mind, while the victim wore an innocent expression...

Was Xu Xiaoshou actually poisonous or something?

This was the first time he had ever seen such an oddball win a fight passively.

Helplessly, he waved his hand. "The match is—"

"Wait!"

Mu Zixi suddenly snapped awake and let out a delicate shout, shaking her head.

What was going on?

Why was she in Xu Xiaoshou's hand? What had happened? Like someone suffering a drunken blackout, the girl stared at Xu Xiaoshou with a bewildered face.

"Let go of me!"

Xu Xiaoshou stared silently at her. After pondering for several seconds, he suddenly covered her little mouth with one hand.

"No."

"Mm mm mm!"

"Hehe!"

"Mm mm mm!"

"You don't want to talk!"

"Crunch!" Mu Zixi bit down again.

"Fuck!" Pain shot through Xu Xiaoshou as he pushed her head skyward again. "Are you a dog?"

Carrying Mu Zixi, he charged fiercely toward the edge of the arena.

"What are you doing?!"

Mu Zixi's large eyes filled with panic, and countless vines suddenly shot out from her body.

Xu Xiaoshou smiled.

What a joke. You're already in my hands—do you think an Innate body is just for show? He applied a little force with his right hand...

"Cough, cough!"

Mu Zixi instantly choked on her saliva, and all the vines snapped apart.

"Give it back..."

Bang! Without another word, Xu Xiaoshou threw the biting menace off the stage, then strode away himself.

He casually wiped the saliva from his neck. After taking a sniff, Xu Xiaoshou's face twisted into a knot.

"It stinks!"

Mu Zixi gazed at him with tear-filled eyes, nearly rushing forward to fight him to the death.

Received a curse. Passive Value +1, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1...

Somewhat dazed, Xiao Qixiu lowered his hand.

"The match is over. Xu Xiaoshou wins!"
