The infiltration plan failed, and neither the Yin-Yang Hall nor the Blood Refinement Hall had a better solution for the time being.

To everyone's surprise, our grand plan was ruined by a few dishes!

They didn't know what to say when they returned, so they could only bite the bullet and go back to report. The reason they were nervous was because the sect attached great importance to the revival of the Blood God.

Vice Leader Yuwen Cuojin arrived in the Imperial Capital yesterday.

They entered a mahjong parlor and went through a hidden door to the underground gambling den.

"How's the matter going?"

Yuwen Cuojin was slurping his instant Instant Noodles when he saw the two of them come in. He then solemnly wiped his mouth.

"It failed."

"Hmm? You two had better give me an explanation for your poor performance."

Yuwen Cuojin took a sip of Instant Noodles soup, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"This is what Wan Chunting eats. Please try it."

Master Lu took out the packaged dishes prepared by Cold Fairy and placed them on the table.

"What kind of lame excuse is that? Hmph, we are members of the Demonic Sect..."

Yuwen Cuojin had a cold expression on his face, determined to set an example and show his subordinates what a ruthless person was.

But when he saw the pork intestine popsicles mixed with colorful medicinal powders and the spicy fish scales, he fell into deep thought.

The hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

"Vice Leader, why are your hands shaking?"

"Oh, is it getting cold?"

The Seventh Realm leader of the Yuwen Sect swallowed hard and coughed lightly, saying:

"The Cold Fairy's attack is indeed terrifying. However, I have already eaten dinner. Eating any more would be a waste of food, and I believe everyone understands the shame of wasting food."

"We failed to infiltrate Wanchun Pavilion, and the Hundred Flowers Festival is just around the corner. What should we do?"

Master Lu looked troubled.

Li Mo took away their right to host the event, leaving them unable to deploy manpower.

Now, Ying Bing has intervened again, preventing them from even infiltrating Wan Chunting. Their plan was flawless; who knew they would encounter such an unexpected turn of events?

In my opinion, we only have two paths left.

Yuwen Cuojin's face hardened, and he said in a deep voice:

"First, send another group of the Yin-Yang Hall followers and tell them to hold out until the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival, no matter what. These people must be resolute and fearless. Is anyone willing to sign up?"

His voice echoed in the empty hall.

However, looking at the dishes on the table, the group of members of the Demonic Sect looked at each other in bewilderment, and none of them were confident enough to sign up.

"The second option is for us to go all in! Let's gamble everything, abandon the infiltration, and launch a frontal assault on the day the event begins!"

"Alright, let's fight those treacherous dogs in the imperial court!"

"I Demon Summoning Cult Sect to change the world, starting today!"

Count me in!

A group of villains eagerly signed up and responded enthusiastically.

On the other side.

Ice Block seemed to want to make a late-night snack, silently picking up pots and pans, which made Chef Li's scalp tingle, and he quickly grabbed her hand.

"Let's fry some potato chips, we can eat them while watching Animation later."

Li Mo looked serious.

"Potato chips? I don't know how to make them..."

"Sister, I'll teach you step by step."

As Li Mo spoke, he hugged her from behind, held her delicate hand, and began cutting potatoes with the skin on.

Little Li is very serious.

He wrapped his arms around her cool, soft body, placed his left hand on her waist, and nuzzled the hair on her neck, inhaling the fragrance of orchids in a secluded valley.

It was late at night, and the kitchen was quiet except for the sounds of chopping potatoes and boiling oil.

Ying Bing gently curled her fingertips, feeling a little itchy from his breath, and her whole body felt tingly.

"Will doing this... work?"

She distracted herself with potato chips.

"Well, you don't need to make anything difficult right away. You can start with something simple. Is there any Animation you'd like to watch tonight?"

"Shall we watch Castle in the Sky?"

Ying Bing is clearly a very serious person.

But at this moment, he still couldn't focus any attention on the task at hand.

However, judging from her relaxed posture, Ice Block was somewhat enjoying the current quiet.

"Hmm? Something's not quite right with the salt I sprinkled on..."

"Li Mo, that looks like candy."

"Hiss..."

Chef Li inhaled the aroma of the Ice Block.

In his experience, there's no need to taste sugar to distinguish it from salt, so how could he have confused them just now?

This Ice Block's culinary culinary absurdity is terrifying; even he couldn't make it with his own hands?

"Sweet things aren't necessarily off-limits..."

Are frying potato chips considered simple?

"Okay, but next time we can start with Instant Noodles."

After scooping up the potato chips, Li Mo took Ice Block's delicate hand and led her back to their room, then entered the Small World.

The clouds in the sky also displayed Animation light and shadow.

Ying Bing got up, intending to Li Mo, but when she turned around, she was taken aback and saw a different Li.

"It's quite pretty."

Li Mo looked himself over and found that the problem he cared about most was not a problem.

Putting everything else aside...

First of all, this armor did not look out of place on him. After absorbing the Power of All Living Beings, it even radiated seven-colored clouds, shining brightly.

After looking himself over, he noticed that Ying Bing had stopped watching the Animation and was secretly observing him, her cool and aloof gaze somewhat blank.

"How is it? Is it suitable?"

"What do you mean by 'suitable' or 'unsuitable'?"

Ying Bing's gaze immediately narrowed, as if she hadn't seen anything at all.

Her eyes had shrunk, but not completely; the light and shadow on the cloud screen were reflected in her shimmering eyes, making her appear radiant and enchanting.

"This outfit isn't just good-looking, it's also really powerful."

Li Mo smiled, and the Power of All Living Beings accumulated in the Empty-Bright Myriad-Color Pagoda slowly flowed into his armor.

He could not unleash the power of the armor on his own Divine Intent; he could only drive it with the Power of All Living Beings.

Instantly, lotus-silk Cloud-Stepping Boots, and clouds and mist rose.

The originally ordinary Somersault Cloud, under the blessing, transformed into auspicious clouds, becoming even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Standing atop the rising clouds, Li Mo felt he could now teleport with others.

Then a strange fluctuation emanated from the Phoenix-Wing Purple-Gold Crown, as if a field of energy was quietly unfolding.

The Golden Chainmail shimmered with light as Li Mo once again used the Heaven and Earth Manifestation Technique, his body growing five times taller, and a powerful force surging around him.

"So powerful! And this is still complete; it's only missing one last piece."

Li Mo slowly raised his head, his eyes seemingly burning with intense fire, and a sense of ambition to ascend to the heavens filled his heart.

Suddenly, he seemed to transform into a god.

But he didn't try to pull out the Ruyi Golden-Banded Staff), probably because he couldn't, and it wasn't the right time.

"Now you see?" Li Mo raised an eyebrow and gave Ying Bing a hearty smile.

"I saw it."

Ying Bing's face was aloof, but her eyes were gentle.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Like."

The Ice Block stopped pretending and stared at the scene openly, as if trying to remember it forever.
