He Learned to Turn the Tables-and Even to Threaten People

The damp spring rain seemed to herald the approaching summer, casting a hazy glow over the glazed tiles.

The rain wasn't heavy, and the flickering lights in Cloud-Stepping Tower made the place seem even more quiet.

I once heard someone say that when you reach a speed of 80 miles per hour, if you stretch your hand out the window, you can feel c.

Even if the Somersault Cloud carried six, seven, or eight people, its speed would definitely be more than 80 miles per hour, right?

Little Li had tried it with his arms outstretched back then, and now he suddenly realizes how ignorant he was.

It's that big; you can't hold it with one hand at all.

And... what kind of wind could have a grainy texture?

Facing the window, Little Li gazed at the shimmering lights of the Jinghe River. The fine raindrops chilled his face, and his expression was serious and earnest.

"Ice Block, that move you used just now was really powerful."

That's not martial arts.

Little Li solemnly reviewed his Ice Block, as if he had never had such a strong thirst for knowledge about martial arts before. He was like a student who, even after class, would take his workbook and sneak into the teacher's office to study. He was an excellent student, needing no further explanation.

As is widely known, Ice Block's martial arts skills are unfathomable. No matter what question you ask, as long as it is about martial arts, she can give you an answer.

Last time, Li Mo obtained Old Xiao's Thousand Forms Art. After opening it, he discovered that this martial art had a long history, dating back two thousand years, and was an unparalleled divine skill.

He shared it with Ice Block.

Half an hour later, a modified version of the "Thousand Forms Art" appeared on the tea table, with elegant brushstrokes on it:

'Times change, and the ways of the world are not constant. What is outdated and dross has been corrected for you.'

Look at their spirit of imparting knowledge and teaching skills, and listen to their profound yet simple explanations.

As someone possessing a system, they are destined to be extraordinary...

Even the best of us make mistakes...

Well, actually, being stared at by Ying Bing with such a melancholy gaze made Little Li a little uncomfortable.

"Was it really an accident?"

Ying Bing gently rubbed the Big-Headed Doll, making it creak and groan.

"It's true! When a person loses their balance, they instinctively try to grab onto something."

Anyone who saw Li Mo's expression would undoubtedly think he was a gentleman.

"But you could have dodged when I withdrew my strength."

"What are you saying? What are you saying! Wouldn't you have fallen to the ground? How can you expect me to just stand by and do nothing?"

Li Mo was very serious.

And he felt guilty.

"Then you said your whole body was numb, so why could you still use your hands?" Ying Bing asked, squinting her beautiful eyes.

"This..."

Li Mo couldn't help but slow his breathing, picked up the Ice Block tea, and took a sip:

"That's an unconscious reaction; sometimes your hands have their own thoughts."

"You..."

"Just like when people are unconscious, they will put their feet in a warm place."

"... That makes sense."

Ying Bing glanced down at her toes, but couldn't see them, so she tucked her snowy feet in and stopped asking.

Li Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, Ice Block, what's the biggest reason I can't beat you in our sparring matches?"

Actually, I already asked that question earlier.

But Little Li didn't listen at all, let alone remember it.

As everyone knows, Cold Fairy never repeats the same thing twice.

But seeing Li Mo pick up a small notebook, his eyes as clear as a silly goose, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"First of all, this is a friendly exchange."

"Secondly, when we were at the same level, my Will Soul was stronger than yours. Moreover, you haven't even perfected your nine apertures yet, and you haven't used your greatest strengths. You're trying to win by relying on your martial arts skills and Will Soul."

"Your strength, which can be described as unparalleled in the Third Realm throughout history, is your physical body."

Ying Bing meant that it's naturally good if a warrior has no weaknesses.

But more importantly, how long is the strength?

Two people with the same natural talent and who both put in a lot of hard work will ultimately be stronger because the one who focuses on a particular aspect will always be stronger.

This time he must be really serious, right?

Ying Bing looked up from her teacup and observed him intently taking notes, licking the ink off his brush when it dried.

She gently wiped the ink from the corner of his mouth with her fingers.

She herself found the action strange after she did it.

Why does it feel so natural to use?

Good times always pass too quickly. Li Mo filled several more pages of his notebook, some questions were his own, and some were questions asked on behalf of Chulong.

"Let me sleep at your place tonight."

Ying Bing removed the hairpin, and her smooth, dark hair cascaded down.

"Good."

Li Mo nodded without hesitation, and had just stepped out when he heard no footsteps behind him, and the lighting seemed off.

Why is it getting darker?

Turning around, I saw only a sliver of light streaming through the doorway, behind which stood Ice Block's eyes, a half-smile playing on her lips. The pure, bright gaze of Teacher Ice Block a hint of mischievous cunning.

"Huh?" Li Mo was completely stunned.

Snap--

The door closed.

"..."

Li Mo was stunned for a long time before realizing that he had been careless and had been fooled by the bad Ice Block.

emmm

However, recalling when he and Ying Bing first arrived at Purple Sun Prefecture, it was truly icy back then. If his gaze lingered on her for more than two seconds, or if he got within three meters of her, he might be met with the stare of Ice Block, chilling him to the bone as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The term "Ice Block" also became a common expression around that time.

If such a misunderstanding had occurred back then, how would he have explained it?

Well, he probably didn't even have the chance to misunderstand. Before anything happened, the wicked bastard might have already waved goodbye to him and sailed away on his own.

Back then, the Ice Block was so thick that strangers were kept at bay—it was the ice that kept people at bay, not strangers...

Only he could see what the Ice Block was like when he was online.

Buzz--

The fluctuations in the Small World disrupted his thoughts, so Li Mo quickly returned to his room and lay down on the bed.

Little Li didn't know was...

As Ying Bing leaned against the door, she heard his footsteps fade into the distance. The forced smile in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of confusion.

She was reborn, so she always treats Li Mo like a child.

In short, is a mere nobody like Li Phoenix Heavenly Empress?

But just now, Little Li actually took the initiative and even threatened her...

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully achieved first place in this system ranking.]

At this point, midnight had passed.

Hearing the system notification, Ying Bing felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

If she had heard before that she had become number one, she probably would have thought it was only natural and nothing to be surprised about.

Now I'm actually feeling a little fortunate...

"There's no need for punishment anymore," Ying Bing murmured softly.

That's not necessarily true.

Ying Bing: "?"

[Host, please do not doubt the system's integrity. This system is honest and trustworthy, and will never break its word. The punishments that were previously mandatory are indeed unnecessary.]

As if to confirm its statement, the system punishment of "[plant forty-nine strawberries and then call your husband]" slowly faded away.

[But don't you think... you've taught him too well? And you've already taught him... he knows it all, and now he's getting bolder and bolder. Can you guarantee he won't do it again without punishment?]

Ice Block sat on the bed and subconsciously touched her ivory-white neck.

The image of me teaching him how to reinforce the seal in the grove of trees flashed through my mind...

"I can only guarantee my own safety..."
