Tang San took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated blood and qi.

He turned his head and looked at Titan, who was standing by the door, awaiting orders.

"Elder Titan."

"Your subordinate is here!"

Titan immediately bowed in response.

Tang San's eyes flickered, and his tone became somewhat distant.

"Besides searching for the traces of those two women."

"Send a few more sharp disciples to investigate this Yang Guifei's background."

"I want to know where she is, where she usually likes to go, and what her weaknesses are."

Tang San paused here and then added righteously:

"As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.'"

"This woman is ranked so highly; she will surely be a great threat to my Tang Sect in the future."

"I must... understand her thoroughly."

Although Titan was a rough man, he found these words a bit awkward.

However, he never cut corners when it came to the Sect Master's orders.

"Yes! Your subordinate will go and do it now!"

Watching Titan's receding back, Tang San sat back down in his chair.

His fingers lightly tapped the broken armrest.

In his mind, the fleeting image of Yang Guifei, a Startled Wild Goose, refused to disappear.

Martial Soul City, Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong maintained her usual languid posture.

However, this time, there was less killing intent in her eyes and more admiration.

As the most powerful woman on the Douluo Continent.

Bibi Dong had always been extremely confident in her own beauty.

Even Qian Renxue, the daughter she viewed as a disgrace, was in her eyes nothing more than a lass who had yet to fully blossom.

But just now.

The moment she saw Yang Guifei obtain the Moonlight Pearl.

For the first time, Bibi Dong felt a sense of inferiority.

It was no longer just about the delicacy of facial features.

It was a temperament.

A peerless elegance that had been tempered by the passage of time, yet treated gently by the years.

"What a stunning beauty..."

Bibi Dong gently stroked her own smooth cheek, letting out a heartfelt sigh of admiration.

As a woman herself.

She found that she could not muster a shred of jealousy toward Yang Guifei.

On the contrary.

She even felt a desire to get close to her.

She wanted to see how soul-stirring that face would look if it were flushed with a hint of red.

"If This Seat were a man."

"I fear I would be head over heels for her, willing to pay any price to make her mine."

Bibi Dong chuckled, a strange glint flashing in her eyes.

She suddenly felt a flicker of irritation.

Why did all the good things in this world have to be connected to that Li Xin?

Those ridiculously powerful twin sisters were his.

And this breathtakingly beautiful Yang Guifei also seemed to be his person.

What kind of virtue did that man possess to deserve all this?

"Li Xin..."

Bibi Dong murmured the name.

Previously, she had only regarded him as a formidable enemy who had to be eradicated.

Now, she felt an unprecedented curiosity towards this man.

Outside Mechanism City, dusk was falling.

The sound of giant gears turning was like the steady and powerful heartbeat of this Steel Beast.

Li Xin walked on the wide metal avenue.

Every paving stone here was carved with intricate Inscriptions.

Gongsun Li held an umbrella, walking obediently to his left.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, one on his left and one on his right, held his arms.

If anyone else saw this scene of enjoying the blessings of multiple women, they would probably be so jealous they'd grind their teeth to dust.

"A Xin, A Xin!"

Xiao Qiao was like a happy Lark, her mouth not stopping the whole way.

"You don't know, that Seaside place in the Heaven Dou Empire wasn't fun at all."

"Those Soul Beasts were pathetically weak. I hadn't even swung my fan before they got scared and ran away."

"And that Vast Sea City, the Dim Sum they made was too disgusting, both fishy and salty."

The young girl gestured exaggeratedly as she spoke.

With her movements, her pink short skirt swayed gently.

Revealing a pair of long, straight Beautiful Legs.

Those legs weren't the skinny, bony kind, but had a perfectly balanced fleshiness.

Fair and Delicate skin glowed with an Ivory-like luster under the afterglow of the setting sun.

On her feet, she wore a pair of exquisite Geta, and with every step, they made a crisp "da da" sound.

A Red Rope was tied around her Ankle, making her skin appear even more dazzlingly white.

It exuded a youthful, energetic allure.

Li Xin listened to her rambling with a smile, occasionally nodding in response.

His gaze subtly swept over Da Qiao beside him.

Unlike her sister's liveliness.

Da Qiao maintained a gentle tranquility throughout.

She wasn't wearing shoes.

Her Jade Feet were bare, suspended a few inches above the ground.

The arch of her foot was as beautifully curved as the world's most perfect work of art.

Her toes were round and cute, with a faint pink hue.

Her long legs were half-hidden by her Deep Blue Skirt, swaying gently with the breeze, adding a touch of mysterious Charm.

Intellectual, elegant, yet unintentionally revealing a fatal sexiness.

Sensing Li Xin's gaze.

Da Qiao turned her head slightly, her watery eyes meeting his.

Instead of shyly dodging, she broke into a smile.

Her smile was filled with the joy of reunion and deep affection.

Li Xin's heart stirred.

Without a word, he tightened his grip on her arm.

The soft touch from her arm completely relaxed his tense nerves of the past few days.

This was life.

Compared to fighting and killing, days like this, with warmth and softness in his embrace, were what a God King should enjoy.

The group passed through the massive city gates.

They were met by a grand mechanical hall.

Countless Mechanical Arms shuttled busily through the air, assembling these intricate mecha Puppets.

In the center of the hall.

A Middle-aged Man clad in dark green armor, radiating an aura of Rationality, was frowning in deep thought over a Blueprint.

He was Mozi, the master of Mechanism City.

Hearing footsteps, Mozi looked up.

Seeing Li Xin return, a rare hint of ease appeared on his stern face.

"You're back?"

Mozi strode forward to meet them.

But after only greeting Li Xin, his gaze immediately shifted to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

More accurately, he was staring at the rewards in their hands.

"Are these the God-Bestowed Soul Rings and Soul Bones from the Heavenly Curtain's reward?"

"Quick, hand them over for me to see."

"This kind of creation at the rule level might have great reference value for my Mechanism Arts."

A fanatical glint flashed in Mozi's eyes as he directly extended his hand.

There was no politeness whatsoever.

Li Xin was long accustomed to this old scholar whose eyes were only on Mechanism Arts.

He waved his hand, signaling for the two sisters to hand over the items.

"Take them."

"Just don't break them."

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao obediently handed over the rewards they had just received.

Mozi treated them like treasures, grabbed the items, and immediately ran back to his experimental bench.

As he ran, he muttered terms like "energy circuits" and "spatial compression."

In an instant, he left Li Xin and the others by the wayside.
