Young Girl, Want to Add More Time?

The two were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Not widely known.

The water of the Fountain of Mist Flower Ageless Spring is ever-flowing, with the spring below constantly bubbling up, and excess water flowing out through the drain.

Little Li happened to be sitting at the drain opening.

The pool water that had enveloped Ying Bing continued to wash over him, causing the loose strands of his Ice Block to tickle his back.

Moreover, after entering the Divine Observation Realm, one's sixth sense becomes acute.

He could feel Ying Bing's gaze fixed on the back of his head.

Li Mo is a dignified and upright gentleman.

But...

At that moment, it seemed as if a voice was whispering in his ear:

'Take one last look, just one look...'

It's unbearable.

At this moment, Ying Bing's heart was pounding with tension, but also a surge of curiosity within her.

No one had ever surpassed her in the same field, not twice.

How did he do that?

What other strengths does he possess that he himself is unaware of?

She calmed her breathing.

Letting out a soft breath, Ying Bing asked:

"How did you fight Yin Huaxuan?"

"Actually, I didn't kill him."

Li Mo also felt he needed to find something to say to shift his attention:

"After Futu extracted a Blood Pill from Yin Huaxuan's body, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he was even able to withstand one of my hammer blows without dying."

"This is truly bizarre."

If Yin Huaxuan and Futu were here, they would definitely be turning in their graves.

Who the hell can be more unpredictable than you, kid!

Ying Bing lowered her eyes for a moment, then said softly:

"The martial arts of the Demon Summoning Cult emphasize using form to compensate for form."

"Actually, their martial arts cannot be called evil; they are righteous when used for good, and evil when used for evil."

Ice Block started talking non-stop.

She seemed to know quite a bit about the Demon Summoning Cult.

Li Mo learned that the fundamental martial art of the Demon Summoning Cult was called the <Demon Summoning Scripture>.

This is a divine skill.

All the martial arts of the Demon Summoning Cult are derived from this foundation.

Every divine skill is an interpretation of the origin of martial arts, and there is no distinction between good and evil. Therefore, the "Demon Summoning Scripture" can also be called the "God Summoning Scripture".

But obviously...

The Demon Summoning Cult did not use this martial art for good.

Little Li thought this was normal.

For example, the Self-Observation Method.

The right path is to cultivate oneself diligently for ten years, endure countless hardships, and call oneself a god.

The crooked path involves absorbing the beliefs of others to nourish Will Soul and strengthen oneself with the thoughts of all living beings. It is clearly a shortcut, hence its widespread popularity.

"The Demon Summoning Cult's scheme against the Clear Abyss Sect remains unknown."

Li Mo sighed softly.

Yin Huaxuan and Futu had both been lurking within the sect for many years.

You can't have your hobby being being an undercover agent, can you?

"Have."

"But, it doesn't matter."

Ying Bing meant that there was no need to think about it so much.

Strengthening ourselves is the right path.

But to Li Mo, the words automatically came to mind: 'I will take action.'

Domineering, forceful, just like you!

"That's true. With you in Clear Abyss Sect, there's nothing to worry about."

Li Mo's tone was completely unwavering.

The Red Mandate of Heaven, the Phoenix Heavenly Empress.

With her there, nothing unexpected will happen!

"..."

The two cat ears twitched.

Ying Bing's lowered eyes reflected her current attire in the clear, flowing water.

Her pearl-like toes silently clenched.

She has carried the expectations of countless people and been revered as a deity by countless others. She should have long since become indifferent to praise and trust.

But ironically, these words came from his own mouth.

He surpassed himself in the system rankings.

She didn't even know how he did it.

That disbelief has now all turned into curiosity...

[Ding-dong]

[Friendly Reminder]

[As everyone knows, scrubbing your partner's back while soaking in a hot spring is a very comfortable experience.]

The flowing water caused Ying Bing's dark hair to sway gently by her ears.

Her eyes widened slightly.

Scrubbing... a bath?

Let her, the Phoenix Heavenly Empress, give a man a... bath?

She absolutely couldn't accept this...

[Everything the host does during the shared bath will affect the punishment rating!]

Ying Bing: "..."

The air was silent for a few seconds.

"Li Mo."

"Um?"

"Give me the towel."

What are you doing with the towel?

"Thank you for helping me in the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm."

Ice Block's words were half sincere.

"Hey, we're not strangers, it's nothing..."

Li Mo casually handed it over, but before he could finish speaking, his body stiffened slightly.

Because Ice Block needed a towel, not because she wanted to use it herself.

She gently rubbed her back with a towel.

Because I need to rub their backs.

She took two more steps forward.

Now.

Warm breaths behind their ears, the water rippling between their skin exchanging body heat, the splashing water as they scrubbed each other—all these sounds were incredibly clear at that moment.

The blush on Ying Bing's neck seemed to be spreading, and she said again:

"By the way, are you prepared for the Yun Prefecture Martial Arts Summit?"

"Um, should I... participate?"

"Yes, one person will be selected from each peak."

Li Mo understood after Ying Bing said that.

He was the only son of Jade Cluster Peak.

But that's not the point.

The key point is, he's a normal male athlete...

By the light reflected in the water, he seemed to notice that Ying Bing had somehow stopped wearing a bathrobe.

Bathrobes have sleeves.

The Ice Block that was rubbing his back was clearly not wearing a garment with sleeves.

Could it be that...

Who could withstand this?!

Ying Bing glanced down at the ground out of the corner of her eye.

Something she didn't have was now quite obvious...

A grand spectacle.

This was a grand scene that even the Phoenix Heavenly Empress, who reigned supreme over all living beings, had never witnessed.

"Snap--"

A slender hand chopped at Little Li's neck.

Little Li's body parts often seem to have their own ideas.

At this moment, Ying Bing's hand was also...

Her brows furrowed, and she hugged her chest.

"You just... had a mosquito on your neck."

Li Mo, seeing stars,: "..."

Are you going to kill the mosquitoes or me?

Summer may be summer, but do you think I don't know whether there are mosquitoes or not?

He certainly knew why the Ice Block had chopped off his head.

But...

Just like Uncle Chen, who arrives on time every day, what can he do?

"Call..."

Ying Bing's chest rose and fell slightly, but her heartbeat wouldn't slow down no matter what she did.

She wished she could just disappear on the spot!

[Countdown: 5...4...3...2...1...]

Finally.

The countdown, which felt like an eternity, finally ended.

Ying Bing quickly changed her clothes and leaped ashore.

A ray of sunset color flowed out, covering her entire body.

I'm leaving now.

She didn't look at Li Mo's expression.

She just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible...

[Ding-dong, host, would you like to extend the time?]

[Adding time will grant additional rating boosts...]
