Little Li swore an oath.

His moral character is absolutely flawless, and his integrity is remarkably upright.

But, who could blame them when that swimsuit suited Ice Block so perfectly? The cool elegance and alluring purity didn't clash; rather, they complemented each other beautifully...

Who wouldn't be confused by this?

Swimsuits are a form of feedback from the system.

So!

The system is broken, Little Li is good.

Li Mo wiped his nose and said seriously:

"Just now at Elder Xue's, I was refining pills with Senior Brother Xiao Bao. My temper got too strong, so... I got a little hot."

"You can also refine pills?"

"I know a little bit."

Gazing at the girl's bright, jade-like face, a strange light flickered in his moonlit eyes.

The thought that Li Mo hadn't had time to suppress made his nose itch again.

He distracted himself by saying:

"Hurry up and practice your skills, or it'll be dawn soon!"

"Um."

Ying Bing glanced at the bright moon, which was already high in the western sky, and nodded gently.

"Wait!" Li Mo suddenly spoke up again.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll calm myself down."

The second level of <Phoenix Singing in the Heavenly Marsh> allows one to vaguely sense the other person's emotions.

Last time, when he was thinking about the techniques of the Flower-Plucking Finger technique, his thoughts wandered a little and his emotions changed, which Ice Block noticed.

Now he has more ideas.

He took a Clear Heart Pill, then focused his mind and began to observe the Mona Ice-Sand within the World Seed.

A moment later.

Li Mo opened his eyes:

I'm all better now.

Two massage chairs with adjustable angles appeared out of thin air.

"Do you want it?"

Li Mo sat down, adjusted to a comfortable position, and turned around to ask.

Ying Bing's eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly, and she shook her head:

"Need not."

"Everything was fine last time..."

Li Mo was puzzled.

Ying Bing: "..."

Hmm... Before the two of them were connected by Will Soul, and before she noticed some of Little Li's vague thoughts, everything was indeed fine.

Ever since that incident, she's found it hard to look directly at the massage chair.

"Let's begin..."

"Etc."

Just as he was about to touch that jade-like hand, he suddenly withdrew his hand.

Li Mo was slightly taken aback.

But then the girl closed her eyes:

"I also need to rest for a moment."

"..."

A night breeze blows, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

The Fish-Dragon Lake was quiet, so quiet that the only sounds were the slight rustling of clothes in the wind and the faint tinkling of wind chimes from downstairs.

The boy and girl looked at each other in silence, neither of them uttering a word.

A moment later.

Only then did a faint fluctuation of Will Soul begin to circulate.

Time passed.

The moon sets and the sun rises; the first rays of dawn appear in the east.

After a night had passed, the two finally got up.

Before I could even let go of the Ice Block, I heard a familiar voice:

"Junior Brother Li, many people are looking for you outside."

Tang Xiaobao rushed forward, then swung his arms back to bring the car to a sudden stop.

"How many people?" Li Mo asked.

Tang Xiaobao counted on his fingers, but found he didn't have enough, so he could only say:

"Anyway, there are so many people, the threshold of the restaurant is almost worn down."

"Does Senior Brother Xiao Bao know why they came to see me?"

I just learned last night that Drizzle Pavilion had increased the bounty on me.

Li Mo remained on high alert throughout.

"Perhaps... perhaps it's because of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, Junior Brother, that you've become famous?"

Tang Xiaobao clearly didn't know either.

Because he became famous on the Hidden Dragon Ranking...

That makes sense. Although he himself didn't feel much about it, his ranking alongside Ice Block was indeed astonishing.

But the Ice Block was clearly ranked one place higher than him.

Why are so many people coming to visit him?

"Senior Brother Xiao Bao, go and call all the elders."

"Okay."

"Wait a minute, let's call Master too."

Li Mo took out a hangover remedy.

Then he turned around and called to Ying Bing:

"Ice Block, are you coming along?"

"..."

Ying Bing gently shook her head.

She didn't want to waste time dealing with these mundane, uncontroversial matters.

"Alright, let's go to Sword City together later."

Li Mo went downstairs.

Ying Bing silently watched the boy's departing figure. She got up and brewed a pot of tea, intending to start practicing the <Rosy Phoenix Qi> after finishing her tea.

The Rosy Phoenix Qi can transform alien Internal Breath into alien true essence.

After the second acupoint opened, she hadn't had time to do this yet.

In a moment...

As soon as she sat down again, Ying Bing suddenly lost in thought.

She saw her chair, which was empty.

The chair she's sitting on now is scalding hot.

The sensation reminded her of a time not long ago, when the two were practicing swordsmanship, and she hadn't noticed...

Let nature take its course.

But that scene just doesn't seem quite natural no matter how you look at it.

As Senior Brother Xiao Bao said, the people who came this time were quite a big entourage.

It's reasonable to get acquainted with the rising stars and future powerhouses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, but logically, one should first send an invitation and arrange a meeting place.

It was clear that the person visiting was quite anxious; they arrived almost immediately after learning where Li Mo was staying.

As if afraid someone would beat them to it.

The elders were quite pleased, as the Clear Abyss Sect had never yet made a name for itself in Yun Province.

But after Li Mo told them about Xu Yi, they all calmed down.

After a discussion, everyone agreed.

He still had to meet her, but Li Mo would activate his Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye throughout the entire meeting.

Soon, the group arrived at the first floor of the restaurant.

There were indeed many people, but they were all standing servants, and judging from their appearance, they were all at the Internal Breath, with many at the Divine Observation Realm.

There was only one person sitting there.

Ouyang was somewhat surprised when he saw this person.

"Sun, the richest man?"

Richest man?

Li Mo looked over and saw that the man whom Senior Brother Ouyang called Sun the Richest Man was a man with a round figure, wearing a famous expensive silk robe, and with a thick gold belt with gemstones and coral around his waist.

Two words: arrogant and domineering.

Completely different from the low-key Little Li.

"Greetings to all the esteemed figures of Purple Sun Prefecture."

Sun, the richest man, stood up, verbally flattering the elders of Clear Abyss Sect, but his gaze was fixed on Li Mo:

"My name is Sun Gui, the head manager of Hengtong Trading Company in Yun Province. I have come here today specifically to pay a visit to Young Hero Li, and also to establish connections with the members of Clear Abyss Sect."

Hengtong Trading Firm is one of the Great Shang in Great Yu. Its trade routes connect the north and south, and it has branches in every prefecture.

Merchants in Great Yu did not have a high social status, but that was only on the surface.

In reality, even the governor of Yun Province and the lord of Cloud-Crossing Sword City had to treat Sun Gui with courtesy.

"So it's Manager Sun."

The members of Clear Abyss Sect were courteous and composed.

"May I ask what business you have with me, Manager Sun?"

Li Mo smiled and casually cupped his hands in greeting.

The opponent was not a killer from the Drizzle Pavilion; he was also an Inner Scene expert.

Sun Gui was somewhat taken aback.

Don't they know how rich I am?

However, after a moment of strange expression, he revealed a confident demeanor.

"Young Hero Li is indeed a man of great talent and ability. Very well... very well."

Sun Gui cut to the chase:

"My daughter has always loved reading the storybook based on Young Hero Li, and has long admired Young Hero Li. These past few days she has been crying and fussing with me."

"I only have this one daughter, and I'm really soft-hearted, so I prepared some small gifts to visit you."

"Someone come here!"

He clapped his hands, and the servants outside opened the boxes one by one.

Except for the last big box.

In an instant, the dazzling array of jewels and rare treasures caused the onlookers to gasp in amazement.

"I have come here specifically to arrange a marriage. May I ask if Young Hero Li is already married?"

Tread--

A soft sound.

Someone had just stepped into the lobby when they overheard this.

Ying Bing's calm and beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Updates may be slow at times, mainly because I try my best to make each chapter interesting, but sometimes the plot becomes too bland and I can't find the words to write.

Thank you for your understanding, dear viewers. (Orz)

I'm desperately seeking some energy!
