Ice Block's boudoir didn't seem as plain as before, especially the dressing table, which was decorated with many trinkets, which were birthday gifts that her Little Li used to give her every year.

Li Mo sat on the Cold Marrow Jade Bed, smelled the faint, cool fragrance, and let out a long breath.

What's the Ice Block mattress made of? It's so cool and comfortable...

Ying Bing sat down beside him, took off her shoes and socks, and was about to put her snow-white feet on the bed when she saw a hand with its own thoughts already there, eagerly waiting.

"You promised not to do anything bad."

"I know, I've been holding a hammer too much lately, I always feel like grabbing something..."

Noticing Ice Block's slightly narrowed eyes, Li Mo's face turned serious as he used his left hand to pull his right hand back.

Then Ying Bing picked up the booklet from the bedside table and handed it over. It was titled "Harmonizing Yin and Yang," the very book that the former sect leader had carefully selected and given to her by the former sect leader, Qin.

"I've already learned it."

"I'll look at it again; I've added revisions and annotations."

Li Mo immediately became solemn.

This martial art does indeed have many merits, and it even deserves Ice Block's annotations.

This indirectly shows that the Ancestor of the Joyous Union Sect does indeed hold some authority in the Yin-Yang school.

If it's a test paper from a poor student, the teacher usually won't even bother to grade it...

Upon reopening the booklet, Li Mo discovered that while the core idea remained unchanged, the approach had been optimized according to the "Phoenix Singing in the Heavenly Marsh."

It wouldn't be a problem to even call it "Phoenix Singing in the Heavenly Marsh - Harmonizing Yin and Yang Edition".

Turning to the last page, a sentence was circled in vermilion:

"During dual cultivation, one must maintain a clear mind and a tranquil State of Mind; otherwise, the yin and yang will become excessively turbulent..."

In layman's terms...

One should not have timid thoughts casually.

"Yes, otherwise it's easy to go astray into the Joyous Union Sect's wrong path."

Ying Bing touched Little Li's brow with her slender finger and said earnestly:

"Therefore, we need to be extra careful."

"My greatest strength is focus!"

Li Mo's face showed unwavering resolve, as if he would rather break than bend.

Ying Bing leaned closer, her bright eyes narrowing slightly as she stared at him. "You're not allowed to do anything bad, nor can you even have any bad thoughts."

"I..."

Her lips parted slightly, and her voice carried a faint, sweet fragrance.

Li Mo suddenly remembered the soy milk he had a few days ago; no wonder it had a sweet taste that didn't belong to soybeans...

So that's why Ice Block deliberately didn't giggle; he wanted to make him behave.

If you develop timid thoughts and go astray, who knows what the consequences might be...

"I... um, I probably, maybe, I shouldn't." Li Mo's stubbornness crumbled.

"..."

Ying Bing pursed her lips, looking at Little Li, who was already full of yang energy, and now showed signs of redness. She finally let out a soft sigh.

We can't let him continue like this.

Today he's faking illness, but if this continues, it probably won't be anymore...

"Take off your clothes... your shirt."

"Good."

Li Mo took off his Pure Yang Long Robe, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it onto the bed with a thud.

Little Li's physique has reached a new level; it is not only lean and sculpted as if by an axe or knife, but also has a faint luster like that of finely refined iron, as if it were freshly forged.

When Ice Block's fair and slender hand touched his chest, it trembled involuntarily, just like her cold eyes.

"Turn around."

"Kindness..."

The Cold Fairy came up with a plan.

She had Li Mo sit on the edge of the bed with his back to her, and she started from behind him, working on the acupoints on his back.

This way, Little Li's gaze will be directed towards the window, preventing him from seeing her and avoiding his eyes from having their own thoughts, which could lead to negative ideas in his mind...

Abundant yang energy, using the method of the Phoenix's Heavenly Marsh, flowed strand by strand towards her cool, delicate hands.

As the Divine Intent of the Taiyin flowed, Li Mo felt like someone who had been trekking in the desert for a long time, finally finding an oasis after a long drought.

Unfortunately, this oasis was only the size of a palm-sized Ice Block.

Gradually, the acupoints were filled with pure Will Soul power. Without even having to think about it, one knew that one was rapidly approaching the Seven Apertures of Divine Observation, and could even vaguely sense the bottleneck.

Fortunately, it didn't require much thought, which is why I only vaguely sensed it.

Little Li sat up straight with a serious expression, feeling the cool, moist touch behind him, and couldn't help but sigh.

The little Ice Block's hands are so cool and soothing to the touch...

The only downside is that it's only in that cool spot.

By the way, the Ice Block hands and small feet seem to be the same temperature. Is there any possibility that...?

Call--

The thought had barely formed when the previously calmed yang energy within his body suddenly became agitated, as if a spark had been dropped into a pile of dry grass.

"!"

No, this counts? This "Harmonizing Yin and Yang" is way too strict!

Li Mo felt waves of throbbing pain in his meridians.

As we all know, thermal expansion and contraction occur, and heat can be conducted from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object...

The yang energy surged forth, rushing towards the icy chill on my back!

"Li Mo, you..."

Ying Bing pursed her lips tightly, a tingling sensation spreading through her palms, the feeling seemingly climbing upwards from her fingertips...

She wanted to restore the balance of yin and yang, but it wasn't that easy.

This isn't just her problem!

If you stray from the right path, you'll drift further and further away from your original destination...

Tread--

As luck would have it, another figure appeared outside the door. Shang Wu stood curiously at the door of Little Li's room.

"Hmm? Where did my precious disciple go? He was just here a moment ago, could it be...?"

Shang Wu tilted her head.

She turned around and was stunned for a moment.

"Wasn't Little Bing's door ajar just now? Why is it closed now?"

She muttered a couple of things and went downstairs.

Behind the door, Ying Bing, who had just closed it, now had bloodshot earlobes and looked at the instigator with a reproachful gaze.

Now...

The boiling and out-of-control Yin and Yang energies are beyond repair unless their quantities are reduced, either by being released or by canceling each other out.

"I..."

"Don't move."

So Ice Block gritted her teeth and quickly walked back. She wanted to grab Li Mo's hands, but she misjudged his weight and ended up losing her balance and falling forward.

With that lunge, she knocked Li Mo down.

Through her clothes, her cool face seemed to feel the burning heat of her chest and the strong, powerful heartbeat.

The Ice Block was stunned.

For no apparent reason, she recalled how, when she suffered daily from the extreme cold, perhaps... the pain wouldn't have been so bad if she had received such a warm embrace? After all, this embrace was so warm and comfortable, it felt like she was melting...

What a coincidence!

Li Mo embraced the cool, trembling, soft, and fragrant jade, realizing that he was still lacking in knowledge in some aspects.

The cool, refreshing feel of it against my skin is really comfortable.

It was much more comfortable than I expected.
