Li Mo picked up all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures and placed them in the large bathtub carved from a tree root. Then he called out to the waiter to prepare hot water.

Before long, the room was filled with warm steam and the sweet fragrance of flowers and herbs.

Li Mo looked at the bathtub with floating flower petals, tested the water temperature, and felt it was about the same as the Mist Flower Ageless Spring, before looking to the side:

"Ice Block, the soup is ready, come in."

Ying Bing pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes filled with complex and unfathomable emotions.

"Is this all the four dishes and one soup for today?"

"Clam?"

Li Mo was taken aback.

I didn't make soup today, mainly because I got home late and he was quite tired.

This soup isn't meant to be drunk...

"In Southern Border, they call hot springs 'tang,' oh~ you didn't think...?"

"I don't."

Ying Bing looked at him coldly.

"... Um."

Li Mo wanted to explain, but in his silence, he remembered the scenery he had seen during his last massage.

As everyone knows, Li the Heaven's Pride has an extremely strong physique, capable of supporting four thousand soldiers and armored soldiers, and smashing the head of the Calamity Beast.

But some things, even the Diamond Indestructible withstand.

I could beat him until he bleeds in a minute.

That's terrible!

Honestly, Little Li is a decent person, but if I were to scoop out a bowlful from the bathtub she had soaked in, I'm afraid my mouth might have its own thoughts.

Li Mo said seriously, "Let's soak. The water will get cold soon, which isn't good... Hmm, it's uncomfortable to soak in."

Ying Bing, clutching the Big-Headed Doll, said in a low voice, "Young Hero Li, you are truly a gentleman..."

"Of course."

Li Mo had a completely serious expression on his face.

Splash--

A wisp of rosy light appeared, transforming into a small hand that pulled the screen aside.

The side room was divided in two, with one side being converted into a temporary bathroom.

"?"

Little Li the Gentleman's expression stiffened slightly.

No, even a gentleman should be wary?

Therefore, the most beautiful scenery in the world may be just a screen away from you.

She was inside, he was outside.

The Night-Shining Pearl illuminated the entire room, its light softer and brighter than candlelight, and made the woven screen appear pristine white, like a blank curtain.

The girl's delicate figure is projected onto it, giving shape to the beauty of light and shadow, making it captivating.

A rustling sound rang out.

"Huh? What's that sound?"

Li, a man of integrity, sat at the table, calmly analyzing the situation with a serious expression.

That's right.

This must be the sound of someone taking off their stockings...

Little Li took a deep breath and pinched his kidney hard.

The system gave out so many rewards today, I haven't had a chance to claim them yet, let me take a good look at them!

Having perfected the Seventy-Two Transformations, he still needs to study the Somersault Cloud on the "Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram"!

Li Mo, how could you fall so low!

"We can't have two big heads anymore!"

Li Mo summoned the system, took a deep breath, and began to examine the long list of rewards.

[Investment Feedback: Rongyuan Military Crossbow x10.]

[Rongyuan Seven-Kill Crossbow: Made in his early years by the master craftsman Gongsun Buqi, it can be infused with true essence, possessing extremely strong penetrating power. Even the domain of an ordinary Inner Scene expert cannot withstand it, making it a true killing weapon among military equipment.]

"Ordnance?"

Li Mo's eyes widened slightly, somewhat surprised.

Although this item is precious, it is clearly not comparable to what can be obtained from Ice Block or Princess Little Jiang.

However, similar items have never been reported before, and I've seen them very rarely.

The Great Yu did not prohibit swords and weapons, nor even bows and arrows or armor; sects could even keep private armies.

Anyone who privately possesses military weapons or killing equipment is considered to be committing treason.

Therefore, Li Mo had never seen anything like it at Hengtong Trading Firm in Yun Province.

This Rongyuan Seven-Kill Crossbow, a bronze-colored ballista exuding a chilling murderous intent, is clearly among them.

[Investment Feedback: 50 boxes of Thunderfire Pill]

[Thunderfire Pill]: "A certain Dao of Alchemy genius, with extraordinary talent, not only is it very easy for his furnace to explode no matter what kind of pill he is refining, but the power of the explosion is also extraordinary. It turns out that he made a mistake when he entered the sect to test his Root Bone. He is not a fire and wood Root Bone, but a fire Root Bone."

He endured endless ridicule and humiliation within the sect, so in a fit of anger, he joined the Great Yu Divine Mechanism Battalion, eventually becoming a master of arms manufacturing. He then used the Thunderfire Pill to blast his former sect to the heavens.

"..."

Li Mo roughly understood the power of this thing.

He should have the same fiery temper as that 'misguided' arms tycoon.

So, is this thing considered a medicinal pill?

Perhaps the genius alchemist Master Elder Xue, who has refined external Profound Pill, can give an accurate assessment...

"What are these rewards?"

"I don't plan to blow up my own sect."

Li Mo frowned and continued scrolling down.

[Investment Feedback: 4x Tribulation-Resisting Array Flags]

[Tribulation-Resisting Array Flags]: "By reinforcing the mountain stone city walls, its defensive capabilities can be multiplied. Its sturdiness depends on the strength of the one maintaining the Array Pattern and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

[Investment Feedback: Thunder-Pattern War Drum]

[Thunder-Pattern War Drum]: "The master craftsman used the hide of a thunder beast that possesses a trace of Kui Ox bloodline to carve thunder patterns on it, making it a war drum whose sound shakes the heavens and can boost morale and intimidate powerful enemies."

[Investment Feedback: One Profound Crystal.]

[Investment Feedback: 10,000 units of the Baleful-Breaking Arrow.]

[Investment Feedback: One Peace Gold Lock.]

[Investment Feedback: A pair of Mother's Patchwork Shoes.]

The subsequent rewards, aside from some miscellaneous items, were...

The valuable items, besides the Profound Crystal, are the military equipment. There are probably thousands of Profound Crystal, and as many as seventeen or eighteen types of military equipment, and the quantities are quite large.

Looking at the Profound Crystal and weaponry in the System Space, it was enough to support the consumption of a small battle.

Little Li fell into deep thought.

"System, you've been acting a bit strange lately."

Aside from extremely special circumstances, these rewards are practically useless, right?

They can't even sell them. Even if he dared to sell them in bulk, no one would dare to buy them. If this thing were discovered, his whole family would lose their heads.

He also received his military pay.

If the system were to give him another imperial robe, it might really be trying to get him to raise his voice and rally support.

Yes, we absolutely mustn't let Master know.

She will definitely call herself the Retired Emperor when the time comes, and the first thing she will do is to appoint Elder Han He as the Crown Prince.

"Hopefully, this thing will never be used; it's best if it just rots in the System Space."

Li Mo shook his head, trying to banish the images from his mind.

Let's try to understand the Somersault Cloud first...

He took out a seven-patterned Clear Heart Pill and swallowed it, then retrieved the Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram.

"Only Monkey Brother can calm me down."

The upright and virtuous Xiao Li was about to calm down.

Splash--

The sound of water could be heard nearby.

In the shimmering bathtub, Ying Bing was about to get up when she suddenly froze, blood rising from her fair and delicate neck.

She forgot something.

Her birthday is coming up soon; she'll be seventeen after that, and she's growing fast.

The previous undergarments no longer fit properly. Jade Phoenix Form can transform its form and spirit, its clothing will also change accordingly, but that does not include the undergarments worn next to the body.

She thought she would buy some on her way back today.

But as soon as she put her little hand in the boy's pocket, she forgot all about it.

You can't just leave empty-handed...

"..."

Ying Bing grabbed the Big-Headed Doll floating on the water and searched through it.

A few seconds later.

Snap--

The chibi version of Little Li landed again on the water's surface in front of her chest, splashing a few drops.

Ying Bing pursed her jade-like lips, sitting in the bathtub with her long legs wrapped around her.

No.

A few seconds later, her clear, cool, and very 'calm' voice came from behind the screen:

"Li Mo, I forgot something."

"What is it?"

"Clothing."
