Southern Border, the Temple of Senluo Valley.

"Holy Son, this is what I, your uncle, have seen and heard today."

In the seat where Han Zhen once sat, Luo Yexian sat with an air of authority, reporting to the Holy Son, his expression best described as 'I did it on purpose, by accident.'

Having once presented gifts to the immortals, he felt his meteoric rise to power was within reach.

The Holy Son opposite him swayed slightly, looking at his smug little uncle with a hint of coldness in his eyes, but he didn't react, instead deep in thought.

Mountains of gold...

The heavenly materials and earthly treasures...

The Innate Golden Crow...

Nine Dragons Pulling the Palace!

If any of these things are true, they are enough to shock the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

But the Demon Summoning Holy Son was not so easily trusted; his eerie voice rang out again:

"The world is full of wonders, how can you be sure this isn't just a trick?"

"For example, the Saintess Yin Mianmian of the Drizzle Pavilion, her Heavenly Demon Body, when in the External Scene Realm, transformed from the transformation of reality into illusion and vice versa. How do you know that we don't have similar extraordinary treasures and methods?"

Luo Yexian revealed a confident smile:

"My Holy Son nephew, do you know me? Do you think I'm so easily trusting?"

"I had already verified this while browsing through the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect's storeroom."

The Hundred Beast Hall Master's hands weren't very clean.

He took out several items from his pocket.

A palm-sized piece of Dog-Head Gold, a Night-Shining Pearl the size of an infant's fist, and a jade bottle containing a full bottle of Six-Pattern Pill.

"I just grabbed these randomly. If it were a smokescreen, it would have been exposed by now."

The Demon Summoning Holy Son remained silent for a long time, his heart surging with suppressed emotions.

If that's really the case.

His return to the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking is surely just around the corner.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:

"I will bring two Dharma Kings from our sect to investigate this matter."

"Also, next time you need to convey official business, use your title!"

Look closely, this man's name is Xiao Li.

He was lying on his familiar bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He could only stare at the ceiling and count his silver notes, hoping to use that as a way to drift off to sleep.

Unfortunately, he neither managed to fall asleep nor finished counting the banknotes.

"I haven't practiced my skills today, and I haven't finished reviewing the battle with the Golden Crow Projection."

"The guilt of not trying hard is definitely keeping me up at night."

Li Mo couldn't help but sigh at how much he really wanted to work hard.

Even if one day they become the Hidden Dragon Ranking and give an acceptance speech, they can still righteously declare that everything they did was through sweat and hard work.

I wonder if Ice Block is resting now...

Li Mo sat up straight and looked out the window. The room not far away was dark, the lights were off, and only a faint light was on.

"Could I have misunderstood?"

When Ice Block left the table at dinner tonight, she clearly gave him a look; she was clearly waiting for his signal.

With that thought in mind, Li Mo crept out of the room in the dark and tiptoed into the corridor.

The Li Mansion was not small, and at night, it was deserted and completely silent.

But after taking only two steps, they heard footsteps ahead.

Li Mo was startled.

The man was also startled.

"You brat, are you out of your mind? You walk so quietly! You're giving me the creeps."

"Dad, why are you wandering around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

"What am I doing? I just came back from the outhouse. What do you think I'm doing? Looking for food, right?"

"Hey, what a coincidence! I was also going to the outhouse to... cough, to relieve myself."

Li Mo chuckled and headed towards the outhouse.

"That brat."

Li Dalong tightened his belt. He suspected that Little Li was being dishonest, but he had no proof.

Watching his son leave in a hurry, he could only mutter a suspicious remark before turning back to his room.

Only after hearing his father's footsteps fade into the distance behind the outhouse did Li Mo breathe a sigh of relief.

Even a dignified fourth-ranked Hidden Dragon like Sword Immortal Li can be careless at times when he's home, but this was just a minor mistake and nothing serious.

After confirming that there was no more movement from his parents' room, Li Mo went to Ying Bing's room.

Little Li seemed to be stealing, like he was doing something wrong.

They were in their own home, yet they had no idea what they were stealing...

Squeak--

The room wasn't locked!

Moonlight streamed into the room, which was as cold and austere as Ice Block. Apart from a table, chairs, a bed, and the essential tea set, there was nothing else.

It wasn't that the Li family was stingy or cold-hearted.

In fact, because Yingbing was the daughter of an old friend, her parents valued Ying Bing highly and treated her even better than their own daughter, Xiao Li.

However, Ying Bing had never liked anything superfluous before.

Ying Bing was sitting on the bed, the calm and eternal light of the Jade Phoenix God illuminating her face like the bright moon in a dream. Hearing the sound of the door, her eyelashes trembled, but she did not move.

It was as if they hadn't heard.

Li Mo moved closer and examined Cold Fairy's face.

Lately, it seems that the ethereal quality that Ice Block already possessed has become even more pronounced.

It shouldn't be a misperception...

They say girls change a lot as they grow up, but how much more can Ice Block change...?

"Ice Block, here I come."

Ying Bing pursed her lips slightly, took out a futon from the Big-Headed Doll, placed it beside her, and gently patted it.

Come here.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"Yes, waiting for a virtuous gentleman to sneak into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night."

Li Mo felt inexplicably guilty under her mysterious gaze.

So,

When he was at home, he rarely went into Ice Block Tuozi's bedroom, let alone sat on the bed.

"Ice Block, let's practice our skills!"

Li Mo grabbed her delicate hand and used the tactic of changing the subject.

Ying Bing put away the Jade Phoenix God, nodded slightly, and the moonlight outside the window suddenly became brighter.

Both of them possess dual divine forms.

However, the Taiyin Divine Form, as the first Divine Intent they observed, remains the fundamental basis of their realm.

Li Mo received Divine Intent that could slightly slow down time and temporarily eliminate negative emotions, and there were many more mysteries waiting for him to discover.

The Taiyin Divine Form can complement any other spirit form.

Moreover, it can complement the Taiyin Divine Intent of the Ice Block...

The moon gradually moved away from its zenith.

The two stopped tacitly, and Teacher Ice Block gently began to guide them, summarizing most of the fighting style of the Golden Crow Projection.

"Little Golden Crow, we will surely take it down today!"

As Li Mo spoke, he lay down and scratched his neck vigorously.

I was hiding behind the outhouse when I got bitten by a mosquito.

What kind of mosquitoes are so vicious? It's already winter!

A tremor came from the Small World.

Li Mo closed his eyes and peacefully drifted off to sleep.

"..."

Ying Bing opened her lips and then gently bit them.

She wondered, what if her aunt and uncle suddenly walked in? What should she say if they saw her tomorrow morning? She couldn't very well say he was sleepwalking...

But Li Mo had already fallen asleep in three seconds, and there was still a slight red mark on his neck.

Like peach blossoms.

The serene look in Ying Bing's eyes trembled slightly.

This book is less than halfway done; there's still a lot left to write. Have some faith in this little flop!
