Night falls.

The private room was dimly lit, with candlelight shining through the glass dome, casting a hazy glow that made it seem as if even moonlight couldn't penetrate the room.

"Take off your shoes."

Li Mo sat on a small stool, intently watching Ying Bing on the massage chair, hoping to repay Ice Block Tuo for her hard work earlier, and incidentally... see if he could snag some investment.

As for why he made a small stool.

"Take off your shoes... why?"

Don't be fooled by Ying Bing's calm and unassuming appearance.

But that slender, fair hand had already gripped the fabric cover of the massage chair.

Have you ever seen a dragon?

Li Mo said seriously.

"I've seen it."

Ying Bing nodded.

Li Mo: "..."

Did you see me in your past life or in a dream?

I'm at a loss when it comes to dealing with him.

Ying Bing noticed his momentary silence and tucked a stray hair behind her ear:

"Oh, I've never seen that before."

"Yes, you'll see them soon."

Li Mo looked mysterious.

Ying Bing frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appearing on her face.

Li Mo: "Because you'll soon be able to enjoy a one-stop service."

Ying Bing didn't quite understand what the strange adjective "one-stop service" meant.

But Li Mo said this was a service the restaurant would soon be offering to its guests.

It's quite normal for it to be open to guests.

Moreover, it is related to dragons.

The dragon no longer exists even among the myriad beasts of the Southern Border; it is a solemn and dignified word, frequently used by the Imperial Family.

Li Mo added, "If you feel uncomfortable or unwell, please let me know anytime."

The boy was in high spirits.

He didn't know why he was in such high spirits.

"What should I add?"

"Add?"

"Alright, I'll add lotus seed wine to it, it'll make it even better!"

He poured the Snow Lotus Wine, which cost a thousand taels of silver outside, into a basin, not feeling it was a waste even though the water would eventually be poured away.

But he soon changed his mind.

Her slender calves were as white as snow, and her nails, like buds, were slightly curled together. She tested the water temperature before putting her feet in.

"Um..."

"What's wrong?"

Ying Bing noticed that Little Li was deep in thought.

Li Mo felt a pang of heartache at the thought of the water being poured away.

Hmm, it must be because they added a good wine that helps relax muscles and improve blood circulation...

"Then I'll start... I'm starting now, you relax."

"Um."

Ying Bing turned her head away and remained silent.

Li Mo noticed that although Ice Block's face remained calm, her fingers and toes seemed to curl up involuntarily when she was nervous.

This is the truth he observed after he got his hands on it.

Previously, it was just speculation; after all, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth!

A moment later.

"It's over?"

"It hasn't started yet."

"But you've been rubbing it for... a long time."

"Impossible, you must feel like every second is an eternity."

"..."

Li Mo began using the Flower-Plucking Finger, but how exactly did he do it...?

Perhaps this is the power struggle between the technician and the customer.

The more serene and pale her Ice Block, the more Little Li wanted to know what her sore spot was.

So I found a sensitive acupoint and pressed it down.

Um...

Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

Otherwise, those water-drenched, white jade-like feet would almost have been stuffed into his mouth.

Then Li Mo looked up and saw in Qingyou's eyes:

No, hehe.

So Little Li behaved himself.

Don't tell me, really don't tell me.

The person who created the "Flower-Plucking Finger" is truly a genius; even after removing the essential parts, its effects are still outstanding.

And do you think Little Li was serious?

Anyway, the customer, Ice Block, felt that Little Li himself was enjoying it.

In conclusion

Ying Bing's tense body gradually relaxed.

But that pesky system not only never misses a show, it's also never late.

[Ding-dong]

[One minute countdown until the next ranking comparison.]

The system's seemingly virtual handwriting perfectly overlapped with Little Li's figure.

Ying Bing looked down at him, her eyelashes, tinged with an unusual luster, trembling slightly.

She wasn't as confident as she had been the previous two times.

Having lost the first two times, although she has now mastered the divine skill, what exactly did Li Mo just use?

"You seem to go to the top of the Sword Tower quite often?"

Li Mo was using the <Flower-Plucking Finger> technique very seriously, but he wasn't distracted while talking to Ying Bing, after all, his hands were now thinking for themselves:

"Yes, I've been trying to make a copy of the Spirit Stones, but I haven't succeeded yet, though I have made some progress..."

"Making copies of Spirit Stones... what for?"

"What if such a wondrous thing is the Great Dao Divine Form?"

Li Mo smiled.

Ying Bing took it as a joke, "How could you possibly draw the Great Dao Divine Form now?"

I've never heard of any depiction of the Great Dao Divine Form being copied.

The most accomplished Painting Path she knew could only imitate the Extreme Forms; even then, the right time, place, and people were still required.

Typically, the inheritance of Extreme Forms involves powerful individuals sparing no expense to separate a portion of their Will Soul and form a Divine Intent imprint.

Ying Bing didn't find it strange that Li Mo could observe two Divine Intent.

Generally speaking, it's already quite good if someone in the Divine Observation Realm can perfectly observe a Divine Intent within the Divine Observation Divine Observation Realm; some may only be able to observe the Lower Form.

But she herself followed the path of Hundred Birds Extreme Form and condensing the essence of the Phoenix God.

"If you wish to observe other Divine Intent, you must find those that are compatible with your constitution."

"But I don't know what's specifically suitable for my body type."

Li Mo shrugged.

He only has the ones he drew himself.

"It can't be a rock."

"What if a monkey pops out of the rock?"

"You..."

Ying Bing's cold gaze suddenly paused.

Her gaze shifted downwards and fell upon the hand on her calf.

As they chatted...

When did his hand get here?

Li Mo, with a professional expression, coughed lightly and said:

"Say something if you're not feeling well."

"Now..."

Ying Bing parted her lips slightly.

But the countdown is slowly ticking away until it reaches zero.

3...

2...

1...

[The results of the third ranking of the most talented individuals in the Eastern Wasteland Domain have been announced.]

[Please note that the ranking comparison scope will be expanded next time.]

[The 50th most outstanding talent in the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Zheng Conglong]

[Thirty-ninth among the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Lin Jiang]

[Ranked 22nd among the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Murong Xiao]

[Eleventh among the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Xiao Qin]

[Second Place Among the Prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland Domain: Ying Bing]

[Congratulations, host! You've secured second place in this year's ranking of prodigies.]

[Rewards being distributed...]

[The system has detected that the host has activated the Loser's Punishment. All rewards have been stored in the System Space and will be distributed after the punishment mechanism is completed.]

[The punishment for this instance is: requesting 'Li Mo' to pet you.]

[Requirement: Covers more than 80% of the total body area.]

Ying Bing pursed her lips, momentarily lost in thought.

It was unexpected, yet perfectly logical.

Or perhaps, deep down, she had already made some mental preparations?

The air seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Li Mo suddenly felt her warm, smooth arches tense up, and his jade-like legs, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

emmmmm

To be honest, it's not a question of whether the Ice Block are adapting or not.

Little Li felt he should calm down and maybe take a shower.

It's a bit too much to handle.

However, investment feedback hasn't been received yet. Is this because the investment isn't finished, or does it not even qualify as an investment?

"It's normal to feel unaccustomed to being a father for the first time."

That's enough for now.

However, he had only just shaken the water droplets off his hands when he stood up.

Ying Bing's soft voice came from behind her just now; she seemed to be trying very hard to maintain her composure.

"No... can we see a dragon?"

"What dragon?"

"A dragon providing one-stop service."

"??"

Li Mo turned around blankly.

Her face, which should have been as clear and beautiful as the cold moon and frost, now seemed to have become the moon's reflection on the lake, rippling gently in a daze.

It's definitely a lighting issue.
