This Monkey Is Truly Beautiful, An Instant Becomes Eternity

Since a certain Ice Block had returned and was only eating simple food, Sword City invited Elder Qian and Elder Xue to Sword City to attend as elders. Even senior brothers like Shen Yunfei received invitations.

It's clear that the higher-ups in Sword City intend to exchange resources and establish a friendship with the Clear Abyss Sect.

Therefore, the restaurant was very quiet.

Ouyang and his Senior Brother Xiao Bao were huddled together, looking towards the distance.

Little Li sat there, staring blankly at a picture.

"What's wrong with Junior Brother Li?"

Tang Xiaobao didn't attend the banquet because he could only sit at the children's table, and he probably wouldn't find a place to sit in Sword City.

"He sat there staring at that picture."

"Could it be some kind of great deal?"

Ouyang couldn't help but feel curious.

Yesterday, Junior Brother Li said that his aesthetic sense needed improvement, so he tossed and turned all night trying to figure it out.

In what direction should his aesthetic sense be improved?

"Still a little short."

"Strive to imprint the Divine Intent will upon my Will Soul tonight..."

Li Mo had just come to his senses when he rubbed his sore temples.

Then he saw a person and a pill, looking at him with wide eyes and a narrowed gaze.

"What's wrong?"

"So, Junior Brother Li, this is the direction you were referring to for improving aesthetic sense?"

Ouyang looked at the monkey in the painting and leaned back slightly.

"..."

Li Mo wanted to say that he was Divine Observation.

However, considering that no one but him could discern any Divine Intent in this image, he did not.

He finally nodded.

"Isn't this beautiful?"

"It's a monkey, Junior Brother Li!"

Ouyang, looking utterly bewildered, pulled out his "goodies" catalog from yesterday with a pained expression:

"Junior Brother Li, take another look and see which one is better."

The picture book was brought very close, obscuring Little Li's eyes.

However.

He flipped open the picture book, completely ignoring the realistically dressed young women in revealing outfits, and said with a determined look:

"The monkey is beautiful."

"Ah?"

Ouyang was even more doubtful about life.

Li's eyes held the same unwavering determination they had when he was young, saying he wanted to learn to paint.

His parents beat him half to death, but he remained steadfast.

"Junior Brother Li, there's a serious problem with your aesthetic sense."

"No problem."

Li Mo said it was only natural.

Ouyang, with a serious expression and a frown, said, "Then why don't we ask everyone in the restaurant which one is the best?"

He thought he had gone astray enough.

I didn't expect Junior Brother Li to be even more exaggerated than me; he couldn't even pronounce it wrong.

It's absolutely bizarre.

But Ouyang forgot that all the other senior brothers and sisters had gone to Cloud-Crossing Sword City, and only Tang Xiaobao was present.

"I also think monkeys are cute; they look very intelligent."

"Unlike me..."

Tang Xiaobao gave Ouyang a strange look.

The doubt in their innocent eyes seemed to say:

"Seriously? You actually think this girl is prettier than a monkey? What's wrong with your eyes?"

Ouyang was struck dumb.

His pupils dilated:

"Humans cannot, or at least should not..."

Little Li didn't know how to explain it to Senior Brother Ouyang.

Since he had rested enough, he continued to observe the Divine Intent.

My consciousness sank into my Dantian, and I saw a tiny, crystal-clear figure.

Using his spirit as a scalpel, he began to carve the Stone Monkey beside the Moon Shadow Divine Pattern.

It was very slow and difficult.

This is different from observing Mona Ice-Sand.

Even Little Li himself found it strange.

One is clearly the Great Dao Divine Form, and the other is the Extreme Form, so why is the latter so much more difficult to cultivate?

Is it because the Monkey Brother is too hard to imitate?

Or is it that Mona Ice-Sand, though Great Dao Divine Form, possesses characteristics that make her easier for him to observe?

Or perhaps... both?

Time flows silently.

The mission message remained silently displayed.

Ying Bing wanted to brew a pot of tea.

But the thought of the tea leaves inside the Big-Headed Doll withdrew her hand gently.

Let nature take its course?

But this doesn't feel natural.

Does she have to go downstairs, walk right up to Li Mo, and say, "Let me kiss you?"

Perhaps because of the system's rewards, she really wouldn't have cared about such trivial matters before, and she really would have done it.

It was nothing more than a light touch of her lips; they had shared a bed before, so why be coy?

But now she herself is wondering what she's hesitating about...

"Can't we just give up this reward...?"

[Ding-dong]

[This punishment can be waived.]

Why didn't you say so before?

Ying Bing remembered that she had refused before as well.

[Because this system did not detect the host uttering the word 'give up'.]

Ying Bing: "..."

Does that mean if she hadn't unintentionally uttered those two words, she probably would never have known?

[Hint: Giving up anything has a price, including rewards.]

[If you forgo the rating reward, one item of the system's ranking reward will be randomly revoked.]

Randomly withdraw ranking rewards?

Ying Bing's heart skipped a beat.

The system may not be very smart, but the rewards are excellent.

Of the three rewards last night.

The accumulation of Moon Soul Crystal allowed her to break through to the third aperture realm today.

The Demon-Slaying Gourd is quite magical; it can slay evil demons and transform them into the purest primordial energy, which can replenish the energy of Profound Crystal and even Moon Soul Crystal.

And those Green Phoenix Wings.

If she loses even one of these three rewards, she'll have even less chance of turning things around next time.

"Let's go check on him first..."

Ying Bing pursed her lips and moved with light, graceful steps.

I had just come downstairs when I bumped into the two people who were still arguing.

It's Tang Xiaobao and Ouyang.

"Senior Brother Xiao Bao, the young lady is clearly prettier."

"But I really think monkeys are cute; they look so smart."

Upon hearing footsteps, both of them saw Ying Bing.

Ouyang decided to ask Junior Sister Ying to settle the matter.

"?"

Upon hearing their questions, Ying Bing frowned slightly.

"What monkey?"

"It was drawn by Junior Brother Li."

"Then this..."

"It's from my writing."

Ouyang said confidently.

Ying Bing thought for a moment:

"The monkey is beautiful."

"!"

Ouyang froze on the spot.

Oh no, is he actually the most normal person in the Clear Abyss Sect?

"I told you so," Tang Xiaobao said, hands on his hips.

Ying Bing went to the backyard.

She raised her eyes slightly and saw Li Mo lying on the recliner with his eyes closed and his breathing steady.

It seems like... she's asleep?

Ying Bing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Delay may lead to unforeseen changes.

Seeing that Li Mo didn't get up to greet her as she approached, she bit her lip and quickly gave him a light peck on the forehead.

She quickly got up, pretending nothing had happened, and gently rubbed the Big-Headed Doll to calm herself. Meanwhile, a jumble of thoughts flashed through her mind, such as what if Li Mo suddenly woke up, and what she should say?

Just say...

"Is the moon beautiful tonight?"

But Li Mo didn't wake up.

The system remained unresponsive.

Is kissing the forehead not allowed?

[Keyword suggestion: kiss.]

Ying Bing: "..."

Her gaze shifted downwards, landing on the boy's face, which appeared to be fast asleep, and his expressive lips.

Do you want me to kiss you there?

Her face remained expressionless, yet she suddenly felt that her own heartbeat was very loud.

The night wind rustled the leaves.

Under the moonlight.

The girl, bathed in the soft moonlight, quickly bent down.

She moved quickly, but for some reason, time seemed to pass very slowly; a moment felt as long as eternity.

Li Mo was completely unaware that he had lost his first kiss.

I probably never dreamed that someone would take my first kiss...

Finally, that fleeting moment passed into eternity.

Their lips touched for a fleeting moment.

"Huh?"

Li Mo's eyelids twitched.
