Domineering Little Li! If It's Hard to Handle, Then Nobody Handles It!

"Huh? Why do I suddenly feel full?"

"Eating too much for dinner isn't good, um, I'll go prepare something first..."

"Hiss, my mount is about to give birth, I'm going first!"

Dinner wasn't finished yet, but many of the guys claimed they were done eating without even picking up their chopsticks, and then quietly slipped away, their actions incredibly smooth.

Of course, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I left.

They had all been worried about Little Li.

After all, everyone knows he's incredibly wealthy and powerful, a top- Hidden Dragon, and also brings good fortune to his wife. Who could resist that? What if someone falls for his Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul? What are they even doing here? Are they really here to help?

Now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The moment the Cold Fairy stood there, she had already reached the limit of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Such an insurmountable peak should discourage anyone from even considering a challenge, and the question in one's mind would shift from "Will the Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul's bring me good fortune?" to "What makes the 'Divine Hammer Little Overlord' so special?"

"Ice Block and candied sweet potatoes are delicious... Hmm? This can be dipped in vinegar..."

"I love sweet and sour food."

Ying Bing stared at him expressionlessly.

Little Li a chill run down his spine. Under her gaze, he could only press the candied sweet potato into the vinegar, causing it to let out a terrified scream.

"More."

"..."

The sugar strands on the sweet potato melted, and the vinegar instantly coated and soaked them, turning them a jet-black color. Then, when it was eaten into the Ice Block's mouth, it stained her lips a purplish-red.

Like the dark makeup in TV dramas...

"Ice Block, actually, I have another purpose in organizing this conference."

Li Mo's expression turned solemn.

"Oh."

"Think about it, when we were in the Southern Border, the Southern Army was short of food and pay. I had wealth, but I couldn't help them because it would be improper for me to sponsor them. But as long as I host the Hundred Flowers Festival, I will have room to maneuver."

Li Mo was not satisfied with the feedback received from the investors.

So, Little Li, a genius, had a sudden inspiration.

Why not find a pretext to involve the Southern Pacification Prince Mansion as well?

After all, those adults want money; they're not interested in things like supplies...

Li Mo explained his plan in detail, and Ying Bing listened quietly.

Yes, Shang Qinqing, who was not far away, was also listening.

"It seems like Little Bing and that kid Li Mo had a fight. What's there to argue about?"

Qin Yuzhi swept up the sunflower seed shells on the table and said helplessly.

"No, you don't understand the fun of the 'wife-chasing-after-the-cremation' experience..." Shang Qinqing listened with great interest.

Qin Yuzhi: "..."

She suspected that if Shang Qinqing took control of the Dream Path, she would commit suicide the next day, stabbed three times in the back...

"So that's how it is." Ying Bing's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Moreover, you ranked first on the Hundred Flowers Ranking, so I naturally want to take charge of organizing this grand event."

Li Mo suddenly spoke seriously again.

Yes, that's actually the main reason.

Ying Bing glanced to the side. "Understood."

"Hey, Ice Block, you're going to a big event, you should at least pick out an outfit, right?"

"Do you want to see one black and one white again?"

"Just give me a grand event all to myself."

As summer approaches in the Imperial Capital, the temperature seems to remain relatively stable. Thanks to the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," the imperial city and Inner City enjoy a perpetually spring-like climate, while the outer city also has a better climate than other areas.

The streets were quite lively at this time.

Even before the grand flower festival began, the atmosphere had already permeated the entire Imperial Capital, with lanterns blooming like a sea and huge portraits hanging in the air.

The fairies who made the list have surprisingly large followings in the Imperial Capital, an atmosphere even more so than at the Hidden Dragon Assembly.

After all, the Hundred Flowers Festival was a first, and it attracted even more attention than the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Cloud-Stepping Tower.

The hustle and bustle of everyday life seemed to recede here, stopping before that figure bathed in moonlight.

Until she was pulled to sit in Xiao Li's lap, her waist was wrapped with arms, and her legs finally found a place to rest...

Little Li is getting more and more skilled at it.

By posing slightly, it perfectly conforms to the ergonomics of Ice Block.

If there's any drawback, it's probably that the Hammer Treasure's position is hard to adjust, and it always makes Ying Bing frown.

"You clearly liked all the clothes you were wearing earlier."

"No way, I don't think those are enough to bring out your temperament."

"But I clearly heard it."

"??"

Li Mo was taken aback.

Just now, when Ice Block was trying on clothes, he was clearly covering his nose and speaking with righteous indignation.

When did you say that?

"That's what Hammer Treasure said."

Li Mo: "..."

Hammer Treasure is very mischievous, everyone knows that.

Damn it, no amount of acting skills can overcome this weakness, right?

Ying Bing lowered her beautiful face, scrutinized him, and squinted her eyes for a long while.

She found that Little Li had the appearance of a gentleman, and his breath was warm; no one would think he had any bad intentions.

But...

It seems he doesn't even want to let others see him.

"You're not planning to hide me away under the guise of investing, are you?"

"!"

Little Li's heart skipped a beat.

How did you guess the Ice Block? Was it really that obvious?

They looked up and their eyes met.

The night breeze swept through the dazzling lights of the bustling Imperial Capital, ruffling her black hair and tickling Li Mo's neck. Li Mo saw that her aloof and elegant face was full of smiles, like an older sister who had discovered her younger brother secretly eating something delicious.

Her features, with their interplay of light and shadow, draw you in constantly. Looking away for even a second feels like losing a fortune, making you reluctant to look away. Yet, her smiling eyes send shivers down your spine, making you afraid to meet her gaze.

A mixture of aloofness and cold beauty with a wry, almost mocking gaze; beauty and inner turmoil spread like weeds in the depths of the heart...

Little Li suddenly realized.

Oh no, it seems he's been completely outmaneuvered by that Ice Block!

Where did this soft, Ice Block in my arms come from, giving me such a strong feeling of oppression?!

Li Mo could only nod.

"Yes, they just don't want others to see it. Even the Empress is on the list, but we haven't seen her dance or anything."

"That's because His Majesty disagrees."

"He's just an emperor, and if he's not happy about it, then I'm even less willing."

Li Mo's main character is extremely rebellious.

Ying Bing opened her mouth, then realized something was wrong.

But aren't His Majesty and the Empress husband and wife?

So...

What Little Li said, translated, is basically saying, "Only I can see my wife," right?

The moment this dangerous thought crossed Ying Bing's mind, her fingertips involuntarily curled up, unable to clench or open, as if she were being electrocuted.

Li Mo seemed oblivious to the possessiveness in his words, and probably also failed to notice how fast her heart was beating.

She dared not look him in the eye again, resting her chin on his shoulder.

"What if that's difficult to handle?"

"We've already taken the money, and it's difficult to do anything? Then let's not do anything at all!"

Li Mo gritted his teeth, a wicked thought rising within him.

If he were to say those words in front of high-ranking officials, he would feel a surge of arrogance, which seemed quite impressive.

However, now only Ice Block can see that handsomeness.

Ying Bing pursed her lips and remained silent.

Because she found herself unable to even speak up anymore, and she didn't know where he learned his domineering manner from.

If Little Li's next words were a marriage proposal, she found herself unable to refuse.

The ice in my heart? What ice?

This isn't a question of whether it's been treated or not.

The water is almost boiling; it's hot enough to cook rice.
