"Saintess, did you succeed?"

The madam asked cautiously from the side.

"No."

Since returning, Yin Mianmian has been standing on the deck of the painted boat, gazing into the distance without saying a word, as if she had lost her soul.

"You failed every time you tried?"

The madam looked alarmed, knowing that even those who ranked above the Saintess and were highly accomplished could be in mortal danger if targeted by Yin Mianmian.

Li Mo was only ranked nineteenth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

"Were his senior disciples by his side?"

"No."

Yin Mianmian looked into the distance and softly denied it.

"Then... why is that?" The madam asked, bewildered.

Yin Mianmian was already in a state of confusion, and she was getting annoyed by her questions.

"His strength is greater than what is recorded on the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

"Stronger than the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

The madam's heavily made-up face froze.

He's only sixteen.

She initially thought being ranked nineteenth was somewhat inflated, but she was surprised to actually be ranked so low.

Suddenly, she heard Yin Mianmian ask again:

"Do you know what Divine Intent you are observing? Once the Will Soul is released, it can dissipate a person's anger and resentment, making it impossible for them to feel any negative emotions towards that person."

"This... is it the Divine Intent of the Buddha?"

"Does he look like one of those bald monks from the Zen Sect?"

"Hiss..."

The madam fell into deep thought, then a troubled look appeared on her face.

"Sometimes, prostitutes on the pleasure boats fall in love with their customers..."

Speak like a human being.

Yin Mianmian.

"That might be because of... love?"

"I love you, Mom, for buying me fried dough twists!"

Upon hearing Yin Mianmian nearly lost her temper.

The madam trembled with fear.

"Go to the Listen to the Wind Pavilion and take back Li Mo's Bounty."

"Yes."

The madam left as if she had been granted a pardon.

Yin Mianmian stayed there alone, lost in thought once again.

What Li Mo said.

What are the chances that it's true?

On the other side.

The night outside the window was deep and dark, while the lights inside the private room were lush and bright.

Ying Bing closed her legs and gently exhaled.

Three times.

This is the third time... she's been outdone by Li Mo.

But her current state of turmoil is not due to another defeat.

Despite her later rise to the pinnacle of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, where she instilled fear in others and remained unmatched among her peers, ultimately finding no equal, she remained a formidable force.

However, her journey has not been without its challenges.

There are also failures that narrowly escape death.

If you give up, you'll lose for life.

This punishment is nothing compared to the Heavenly Human Illusion Realm, the Tribulation of the Dharma Body, or the Ascension Path.

She State of Mind more at peace now than before; she just needs to let things take their natural course...

Slightly circulate your Will Soul.

Ying Bing opened her phoenix eyes, pursed her lips, and looked at Li Mo.

The serene ripples in the girl's eyes took on a hint of solemnity.

"??"

Li Mo was even more confused than before.

You're using your Will Soul?

Ice Block suddenly looked very serious.

Little Li suddenly remembered that in his past life, his best friend took him to a foot massage parlor. Before leaving, he even washed his feet, only to find that the person serving him was an auntie with a cigarette in her mouth.

He used tremendous force, relentlessly attacking all of his reflex zones.

Under his childhood Little Li remained silent, even rebelliously remarking, "Is this all? Auntie, didn't you eat?"

As is widely known.

Ice Block has always been very competitive.

She never says no.

So Little Li sat back down, and their eyes met without any attempt to hide their gazes.

"Looks like it's time for me to get serious."

"...Okay." Ying Bing nodded with a cool expression.

"Then let's change our clothes."

"?"

The next second.

Then Li Mo performed a magic trick, producing a set of things she had never seen before, something similar to a bellyband, but much more embarrassing than a bellyband.

"You can't do the whole process without changing your clothes!"

Little Li smiled smugly.

Let's give up now.

He refused to believe it; could Ice Block really...?

"You... you go out first." Ying Bing's soft voice rang in my ears.

"Yeah, I knew it..."

Li Mo shook his head and chuckled before standing up.

But then I heard:

Leave your clothes behind.

"!"

Snap--

The door closed, and the room became dark.

[Current touching area: 8%]

A system notification appeared, quite thoughtfully, as if afraid the host wouldn't complete the punishment.

This must have been calculated when he was rubbing his feet.

How could he like playing with that thing? That's really strange...

And this outfit, while better than the one the system rewarded, is only slightly better.

Where did he get it?

And he always carries it with him...

He's usually so gentle, sunny, and a true gentleman.

Ying Bing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally let out a soft sigh.

"Keep your mind calm and let things take their natural course..."

A rustling sound came from inside the room.

Little Li was leaning against the doorway, a calligraphy brush between his fingers, taking a deep breath.

I really didn't expect Ice Block to agree so readily.

Before I came out, I still had that same look in my eyes...

"No, we need to be more alert."

"Junior Brother Li, what are you doing?"

The door to the opposite room opened, and Tang Xiaobao saw the calligraphy brush in Li Mo's hand, which puzzled him.

"When I'm thinking about a difficult problem, I always feel like I have something in my mouth."

"I see."

Tang Xiaobao didn't quite understand.

But Junior Brother Li is such a genius, he must have his reasons.

So he followed suit, took out a pill that wasn't so hard, skewered it with a small bamboo stick, and put it in his mouth.

So he also picked up a bamboo skewer pierced with elixirs, and his delicately handsome face became serious.

"Junior Brother Li, what problem are you facing? Tell me and I'll help you think of something."

"I'm thinking I might be in for some bloodshed later."

"Is it that serious? I'll go tell Master!"

Tang Xiaobao immediately became serious.

However, before he could run two steps, Li Mo turned his head back to him.

Li Mo said helplessly:

"It's nothing serious, I just might have a bit of high blood pressure."

"Then taking some medicine will do the trick." Tang Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief.

Will it work?

"Why don't you try licking me a couple of times, Junior Brother Li?"

"... Senior Brother Xiao Bao, you go play. I'll think about it some more."

"Okay."

Tang Xiaobao walked away with the Lollipop Pill in his mouth.

After a while.

Suddenly, a clear, melodious voice, carried by the wind, passed through the wooden door:

"You... can come in now."

"Um."

Li Mo slightly circulated his Will Soul.

But it's strange.

The Divine Intent within his Will Soul has always been exceptionally effective, but today it seemed to have little effect.

Little Li suddenly realized that even the perilous Blood Phoenix Secret Realm hadn't made him this nervous.

But what if we get stage fright?

From now on, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of Ice Block!

She's now learned how to finish off enemies.

Clatter

A door to a new world has been opened a crack.

As he closed the door and went inside, the moment his gaze fell upon the Ice Block, Little Li suddenly realized that he hadn't prepared himself mentally enough.

It wasn't because of the swimsuit; although the name of the swimsuit was a bit strange, the style was relatively normal.

He underestimated the Ice Block.
