A Gentleman? So That's Little Li!

[Congratulations, host, you have made the right choice.]

[This comparison is now open!]

Ying Bing makes a decision, she doesn't hesitate or waver.

Besides, she was already mentally prepared.

After all, they've already gone through the punishment from last time.

What more severe punishment could the system possibly impose?

Wrong...

Why would she want to think about punishment?

Having traveled all the way through Southern Border, she knew him just as well as she knew herself.

The odds of winning are quite high.

Even if she loses, she's not afraid of punishment.

[Host's courage is commendable; truly worthy of being a peerless genius who has held the second position in the system rankings three times in a row.]

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ying Bing remained expressionless.

The Ice Block is just quietly watching to see what tricks you can come up with. jpg

The system has also undergone a complete upgrade, with a fundamental overhaul of its mechanisms.

What aspects have been upgraded?

[This mainly concerns the punishment after defeat.]

Ying Bing: "?"

This is probably the least necessary aspect to upgrade, thank you.

Aside from the rewards, there's really nothing about the system that matches the phrase "peerless genius."

She frowned as she reviewed the latest punishment mechanism.

[From this point forward, the system's penalties will be determined by a lucky blind box draw before the challenge begins!]

[The punishments are being summarized; the source of the information is the previous top-ranked player: Li Mo. ]

Lines of illusory text appeared one by one, then slowly disappeared.

Instead, there was a light screen that only she could see.

Ying Bing, puzzled, gently pursed her lips.

I've only ever heard of lotteries, never a punishment involving a lottery!

And the source of this content...

Ying Bing raised her eyes and glanced at the young man sitting in front of the Jade Phoenix God, earnestly comprehending the True Spirit of the Jade Phoenix God. He was surrounded by soft light and sat there upright, making him appear even more sunny and approachable.

The elders would definitely say it's someone else's child.

Scholars would surely praise him as a fine and upright gentleman.

Does this mean the reward... or punishment, is it what he truly desires?

[Start drawing?]

After staring at Little Li for a moment, Ying Bing breathed a sigh of relief, a confident smile appearing on her lips.

He's not just what he appears to be.

That was also the truth she witnessed.

Aside from being occasionally childish in his childhood and even now, he truly deserves to be called a gentleman.

For example:

Li Mo wasn't interested in Ouyang's art album at all.

Then there's nothing to worry about; she even doubted that he had many thoughts suitable for punishment.

Ying Bing changed her position, lying on her side on the soft couch, and casually picked up a grape and ate it.

[Yes.]

As soon as the thought crossed my mind, the light screen rippled, and images gradually began to appear on it.

A young couple was walking hand in hand down the street, and the woman accepted the candy the man offered her.

Is that all he's thinking?

Ying Bing's gaze was serene, yet a hint of a smile could not be concealed in her eyes.

He was just feeding her a piece of candy; she'd even eaten the sugar figurine Li Mo made today. Was that really punishment? He really was...

The next second.

"I want some too."

"But there's only one."

"I'll take this one."

The two of them ate a piece of candy, the kind that's stringy and stretchy.

[Preliminary punishment 1: Consuming imported candy.]

Ying Bing: "?"

Her beautiful, mirror-like eyes froze, and her fingertips involuntarily curled slightly.

In fact, the two of them had even shared the same cup. Sometimes when they ate, Li Mo would use his chopsticks to pick up food for her and bring it to her mouth, and she would habitually open her mouth and eat it.

But then she vaguely remembered that when she ate the sugar figurine earlier that day, her lips were covered in glistening sugar syrup.

He wiped it off casually, then turned to eat his noodles and started sucking his fingers.

Ying Bing felt a slight unease at that moment.

Now that this unusual feeling has become tangible, it's no longer faint.

"Is this the kind of thinking a true gentleman should have?"

As we all know, forgetting something outrageous is easy; you just need to know something even more outrageous.

Before Ying Bing could calm down...

The light screen started scrolling again.

As is also widely known.

Little Li carries the memories of her previous life, Mystery of the Womb, and has been bombarded with various information. In some group chats, she has opened the door to a new world through some kind-hearted people who are willing to share.

This is something most people will experience, sooner or later...

But the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are different.

There are some things that Phoenix Heavenly Empress, who has been lonely in the desolate Moon Palace for many years, could not imagine, let alone hear about.

"No wonder he likes feet..."

"He doesn't just like feet..."

After a while.

Ying Bing slightly opened her eyes, but then she saw her small feet, still wet with water, and involuntarily turned her gaze elsewhere.

But images kept popping into my head.

"He... is hardly a gentleman."

"It's clearly a bad thing..."

Ying Bing looked at the boy sitting there with a wistful gaze, and couldn't help but curl up her legs and hug them together.

There are a total of twenty penalties available for selection.

Imported sugar received the lightest punishment; the rest were all things that opened the door to a new world.

The bad news is...

She must choose one of these twenty as the basis for her next punishment.

[Please select the next punishment, host!]

On the light screen, blind boxes flashing with various lights began to change positions, dazzling the eye.

Ying Bing took a soft breath and extended her finger.

The following morning.

Li Mo rubbed his temples as he got up. The True Spirit within the Jade Phoenix God yesterday was the most ferocious one he had ever encountered.

I wasted the whole night, finding it extremely difficult to immerse myself in the Seventy-Two Transformations.

Yazi.

Even if only its True Spirit remains, it still possesses a deep-rooted unruliness and a penchant for fighting.

Either satisfy this Yazi True Spirit, or continue with the slow and painstaking process.

"I thought I'd be able to complete all Seventy-Two Transformations last night."

"Ice Block..."

Little Li was just about to ask Ying Bing what she wanted to eat for breakfast.

However, when I turned around...

Then she saw Ying Bing hugging her jade-like legs with both hands, looking over with a deep gaze. When their eyes met, her eyes trembled slightly, and she turned away on her own.

"..."

Little Li, completely unaware of what had happened, picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.

"What's wrong?"

"I thought you just liked feet."

"Puff..."

The tea that Little Li had just drunk didn't stop.

"Those are all occupational hazards..."

"But it seems like you want more than just to rub."

Ying Bing lowered her eyes and said softly.

Li Mo felt a little guilty under his gaze. "Who said that? Ice Block, you're slandering me!"

"Hmph... a true gentleman..."

Little Li didn't know why Ice Block suddenly said this.

However, the meaning expressed doesn't seem to be very positive.

Just then.

Zhong Zhenyue's voice came from downstairs at the restaurant; he had come to take Li Mo to the Greenwood Camp.
