The moon shone on the rooftops, Autumn Water Pavilion was silent except for the sparse chirping of birds. The faint sound of Master grinding his teeth and hitting Luhu could be heard, making it seem exceptionally tranquil.
Li Mo sat upright, holding a soft, jade-like Ice Block in his arms, one hand supporting her slender waist, the other resting on her thigh.
Ying Bing remained expressionless, feeling the warmth on her thighs and waist. She pursed her lips, remaining completely still as if Immobilization Spell in place.
She pursed her lips, her gaze lowered in a deep, melancholic way.
It seems hot...
"You..."
"Forty, yes, forty. As a blacksmith, it's reasonable for him to have a second hammer."
"..."
Strangely enough, the principle of complementary soft and hard approaches didn't work on Little Li; his mouth can still be so stubborn!
After saying that, Li Mo felt the delicate hand on his shoulder clench tightly.
Looking up, I saw Ice Block's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and his tone was very soft:
"As expected of someone who has mastered external martial arts, their body is as sharp as a weapon..."
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "I've made a little progress recently; I've reached the pinnacle of external martial arts, and my body is like a renowned weapon."
"?"
Upon hearing this Ying Bing was taken aback, and a look of astonishment appeared on her usually cold face.
Physical strength is the most difficult thing to forge. She had endured the baptism and torment of the Taiyin Power from a very young age, which is how she forged this body of ice-cold skin and jade-like bones.
Even so, her physique was still somewhat weaker than his.
Now it's probably... even worse.
The countdown to the rankings is getting closer and closer...
However, her Will Soul strength should be superior, and she won't suffer from the divine weapon again.
The energies of Yin and Yang surged, and the Taiyin Will Soul and the moon in the sky reflected each other, while time flowed quietly by.
Before we knew it, midnight had arrived.
The system can never be absent or late:
[Currently listing all the prodigies within the scope of the Eastern Wasteland Domain, Yun Province, and Southern Border...]
[Power level comparison in progress...]
[Fiftieth place among the three regional prodigies: Huang Donglai.]
[Ranked 49th among the Three Prodigies: Du Yu.]
Ying Bing stared intently at the rankings, her eyes glued to them.
Soon, it climbed into the top ten.
At first, Li Mo's posture was that of a gentleman, not moving around too much. But after a while, he suddenly noticed that Ice Block was always looking down at one spot.
Moreover, her soft, fragrant body was slightly tense.
"What is Ice Block looking at?"
Xiao Li, a very curious student, also looked down.
As he lowered his head, his eyes were obscured, and he was almost bounced back.
"Mmm..."
"?"
Ying Bing shuddered, her tense body softening slightly. She pursed her lips, wanting to glare at Li Mo.
But his eyes had already been blindfolded.
I could clearly feel her breath, it felt like it was hitting my heart, tickling me.
Ice Block was about to say something.
The system's rankings, however, have already reached the very end.
[Second Place Among the Three Prodigies: Ying Bing]
[First Place Among the Three Regions' Prodigies: Li Mo]
[Congratulations, host, on achieving second place in this ranking! Keep up the good work!]
[Please find the winner in time and complete the loser's punishment... Oh~ the host is currently sitting in the winner's lap. I'm leaving now, I won't bother you anymore~]
"..."
The system disappears immediately after its outrageous act, giving no one a chance to refute it.
"Um?"
Little Li, whose face was buried in her body, suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why is Ice Block's heartbeat, which was already quite fast, getting faster and faster?
Not only was it getting faster, but it also seemed like my heartbeat was louder than before.
Li Mo asked blankly, "Ice Block?"
Why have you been scratching your neck so much lately?
Ying Bing asked a question that seemed completely out of the ordinary.
She herself didn't know how she came up with the question.
She looked down at the boy's neck, where faint red marks were visible, probably from scratches he had made himself.
Li Mo didn't understand, but still nodded and said:
"My neck is often itchy, like I've been bitten by mosquitoes. With my physical strength and cultivation level so high, what kind of mosquito could possibly bite me like that? It's gotten even itchier lately, and applying medicine doesn't help."
"That's strange, Ice Block, do you have any clues?"
"..."
Ying Bing couldn't help but recall the scene from her dream.
Oh, right, Qin Yuzhi seems to have mentioned that.
Dreams and reality are, to some extent, connected in some the Unseen, and can influence each other.
The higher one's grasp of the principles of dreams, the more obvious this becomes.
But she had neither cultivated the Way of Dreams nor reached a level of attainment sufficient to connect dreams and reality to this extent...
However, now doesn't seem to be the time to think about this issue.
"I don't know either," Ying Bing said softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear and turning her gaze elsewhere.
"Hateful."
As we all know, the knowledge and knowledge of Ice Block is vast and profound.
Even she couldn't do it; I'm actually inferior to her, merely possessing profound knowledge... Hmm?
When I was little, what did my mother do when I got bitten by mosquitoes?
Little Li a sudden inspiration:
"Hey, although I don't know why, I think I've come up with a solution!"
"What method?"
"Drool, when I was little, if I got bitten by a mosquito, my mother would put her saliva on the bite and then seal it in for extra protection."
As he spoke, Li Mo followed suit, reaching out and carving a cross on Ice Block's wrist with his fingernail.
Ying Bing pursed her lips and asked, "Will this... work?"
"The bag is useful, and Mom's methods are all reliable, but I can't see my own neck..."
Li Mo blinked. "Sister, help me."
"..."
Ying Bing gently bit her lip, her eyes rippling with moonlight.
"Sister, it itches..."
"Seriously... I can't do anything with you."
Ying Bing finished speaking, she suddenly lowered her head.
Li Mo was taken aback, and then felt a tickling, warm sensation on his neck, along with a gentle biting feeling.
He suddenly remembered the cat he had in his previous life. It was a calico cat with long fur, beautiful as it was, but it was usually very aloof and kept strangers at bay. It also ignored him, its owner.
Except when it's time to feed him canned food in the morning, he will jump onto the bed and lick his neck.
"Is it still... itchy?" Ice Block looked up, her eyes blurry.
"Uh-huh!"
The upright and virtuous Xiao Li felt the warmth on his neck quickly turn to cool.
The itching there has stopped.
But it seems so.
It feels like something is itchy, like it's trying to crawl out from inside...
He nodded seriously, indicating his approval.
As we all know, applying saliva to seal mosquito bites involves two steps.
But Ice Block actually combined the two into one, simplifying it into a single step!
The moonlight, like a silver veil, enveloped the two people on the rooftop.
The two were a little stiff at first, especially the expressionless Cold Fairy.
But gradually, she seemed to melt like Ice Block in someone's arms...
Taking a break really works, hehe.
