Tie Li Explodes with Rage: Wang Mengde, What Are You Doing?

Wang Mengde stood on the reef and quietly activated his Spirit Eye Technique.

A glint of inspiration flashed in his eyes, and his gaze pierced through the dark seawater, sweeping towards the spot where the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish had sunk.

He made a hand Hand Seals with one hand and performed the Entwining Silk Technique.

Dozens of fine, spider-web-like spiritual energy threads shot out from his fingertips, piercing into the seawater and silently extending towards the seabed.

The spiritual energy threads traveled through the water at an astonishing speed, reaching the corpse of the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish in the blink of an eye, and gently wrapped around its body, securing it tightly.

With a flick of his wrist, Wang Mengde caused the spiritual energy threads to contract sharply, forcefully lifting the two-zhang-long fish from the seabed.

The fish carcass burst out of the water, tracing a silvery-gray arc in the air, before landing on the rocks with a "bang," splashing water everywhere.

Liu Yiyi has already finished refining one Qi-Replenishing Pill.

The Four-Attribute Spirit Root can refine pills very quickly. The pills enter the stomach in less than a breath, and the medicinal power is completely absorbed, turning into a warm current that flows into the Dantian.

Her spiritual power had recovered to less than 10%, but at least she had some foundation and was no longer in a completely empty state.

She opened her eyes, exhaled a long breath, and stood up, using the rocks for support.

But for some reason, my legs felt slightly numb, as if I had been electrocuted.

Her body swayed suddenly, her foot slipped, and she fell headlong toward the edge of the reef.

The lightning that had quietly gathered in Wang Mengde's palm dissipated silently.

He took a step forward with astonishing speed, reached out with his left hand, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his embrace.

His right arm encircled her waist, holding her firmly in his arms. Her back pressed against his chest, and she could feel the steady, powerful heartbeat emanating from his chest.

His hand was on her waist, his palm warm, the heat seeping through her soaked clothes, making the skin on her side tingle slightly.

Liu Yiyi's body stiffened abruptly.

She could feel his breath on her ear, warm and rapid, with a hint of restraint.

Her heart suddenly raced, so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. The blush that had just faded from her face returned, even more intensely than before, burning from her cheeks to her ears, and from her ears to her neck. She felt like a boiled shrimp.

"Put me down quickly." Her voice trembled, tinged with panic, her fingers pushing against his chest, but her body felt numb, as if an electric current was flowing through it.

Wang Mengde did not release him.

He looked down at her, his gaze burning as if it were on fire.

His breathing became heavier, and the hands around her waist tightened slightly.

Liu Yiyi was in a state of utter confusion.

She could feel the burning intensity in that gaze.

Her body felt even more numb, as if tiny electric currents were flowing through her waist, spreading down her spine to her limbs and bones, a tingling, numb sensation that made every inch of her skin tremble slightly.

She slumped into his arms, her fingers curled up, her nails digging into her palms, yet she felt no pain.

Her mind was a jumbled mess, like a thousand butterflies fluttering about, their wings beating so loudly they drowned out the sound of the waves, the wind, and everything else.

A series of ripples surged through her heart.

That heart-pounding sensation returned, even stronger than before, as if someone had gently flicked her chest, the aftershock spreading from her chest to her throat, to her eyes, and to her fingertips.

That tingling, numb sensation, that feeling that made her whole body go weak, that feeling that made it hard for her to even breathe.

She had never experienced it before.

Tie Li had never given her this feeling before.

Never.

I love that tingling sensation in my body.

Wang Mengde lowered his head slightly, his breath hitting her face, warm and rapid, carrying that indescribable, masculine scent emanating from him.

Liu Yiyi's heart pounded like thunder.

Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, pounding so hard she could barely breathe.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like two startled butterflies fluttering their wings, wanting to fly away but reluctant to leave.

Her reason told her she should push him away, turn her head away, or even close her eyes rather than stare at him like this.

But her body wouldn't obey her. She looked into his dark, burning eyes, into his angular face, into his slightly pursed lips, and then, as if possessed, she closed her eyes.

Wang Mengde was slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect that Liu Yiyi would not only not show any disgust towards him, but would also close her eyes directly.

The moment her eyes closed, her eyelashes were still trembling slightly, the blush on her cheeks hadn't faded, her lips were slightly parted, and her breathing was rapid and disordered.

She was waiting for him.

Wang Mengde certainly wouldn't stand on ceremony.

He lowered his head and gently pressed his lips to hers.

The plan has changed; they'll go straight for Liu Yiyi.

With Liu Yiyi by my side, why bother with blind dates?

Those women usually need quite some time to switch to a new Cultivation Method, but Yiyi can use it right now.

Liu Yiyi's body instantly froze, her entire body like a stone statue, completely still.

Liu Yiyi's mind went completely blank.

All sounds disappeared—the sound of the waves, the wind, the distant birdsong—all vanished.

Her eyelashes trembled violently a few times, then fell silent.

Her fingers unconsciously gripped his shirt, so tightly that her knuckles turned white, but she didn't push him away.

Wang Mengde had one arm around her waist, while his other hand quietly gathered spiritual energy, creating a thin soundproof Light Barrier around them.

The Light Barrier unfolded silently, enveloping a space several feet in radius.

Outside the Light Barrier, the waves continued to crash against the rocks, and the sea breeze continued to howl.

Inside the Light Barrier, it was as quiet as another world.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the sea.

Tie Li led three team members out of the sea, their Flying Sword cutting through the waves and splashing water everywhere.

Then he saw the two people on the reef.

Wang Mengde held Liu Yiyi in his arms. Liu Yiyi's head was buried in the crook of Wang Mengde's shoulder, so her expression could not be seen, but her arms were wrapped around Wang Mengde's waist, and her whole body was softly leaning against him, like a vine bent by the wind and wrapped around a tree trunk.

The sea breeze ruffled their robes, the hems of which became entangled, making them indistinguishable from one another.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the two of them in a soft golden light, making them look like a painting.

Tie Li's face instantly darkened. His eyes were fixed on the two people on the reef, his pupils surging with intense killing intent, as if he wanted to tear them to pieces.

"Wang Mengde!" His voice seemed to be squeezed from his chest, low and hoarse, carrying suppressed anger. "What are you doing?"

Inside the soundproof Light Barrier, Wang Mengde could hear the commotion outside.

He quietly dispelled the spiritual energy Light Barrier, which vanished Light Barrier, allowing the sounds of waves and sea breeze to return.

He glanced down at Liu Yiyi; her eyelashes were still trembling slightly, the blush on her face hadn't completely faded, and her fingers were still clutching his clothes.

He gently patted her back, then slowly released his hands from her waist.

The three teammates behind Tie Li widened their eyes instantly upon seeing this.

The three of them were burning with gossip, wishing they could pull up a stool and sit down to watch this good show.

But soon, a chill ran down their spines, and the three of them quickly turned around, pretending to look at the distant sea.

They knew Tie Li all too well; he was petty, vengeful, and ruthless.

If this were discovered, given Tie Li's temperament, he might resort to dirty tricks against them.

The three exchanged a glance, all seeing the same fear in each other's eyes. They instinctively took a few steps back, wishing they could hide themselves in the seawater.

Tie Li roared again, his voice even sharper than before, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Wang Mengde, what are you doing?"

Wang Mengde removed the soundproof Light Barrier, Liu Yiyi heard the sound this time, her face turning deathly pale in an instant.

Her mind cleared instantly, and she turned around abruptly.

She saw Tie Li.

I saw Tie Li's figure hovering in mid-air, I saw his face twisted with anger, and I saw the murderous intent surging in his eyes.

Liu Yiyi's eyes were filled with shock, panic, and bewilderment.

She actually...

Wang Mengde lowered his head and glanced at Liu Yiyi.

His gaze was calm and gentle as he said, "Don't be afraid."

Then he gently released his arm around her waist and placed her steadily on the rocks.

He straightened up, turned to Tie Li, and bowed slightly.

"Yiyi almost fell just now, and I caught her." His voice was calm and composed. "It was nothing, Captain Tie, you're welcome."

Tie Li did not respond.

He stared intently at Wang Mengde, the murderous intent in his eyes almost tangible.

That's what you call "helping him up"?

Although Tie Li was not a gentleman, he was not a fool either.

He'd been with many women; how could he not see what those two were doing?

Liu Yiyi looked like that, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with spring water, her lips slightly swollen, and her whole body as soft as a puddle of water.

Was that how it looked when someone was helped up?

She even had her arms wrapped around Wang Mengde's waist.

They even... they even responded proactively.

A strong killing intent surged in Tie Li's heart, like a fire burning in his chest, making his internal organs ache.

But at that moment, two of Liu Yiyi's subordinates emerged from the water.

Then, Yan Chang led a few others out of the water.

Wang Mengde's three subordinates also broke through the water.

No, we can't do it now.

He had to endure it, waiting for the right opportunity, waiting for a chance that no one would notice.

He will make Wang Mengde wish he were dead.

We'll have to be patient for now.

His pursuit of Liu Yiyi was primarily aimed at establishing a connection with Foundation Establishment True Person.

He needs Liu Yiyi to break through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, and in the future he will also need Liu Yiyi's father's help to raise Spirit Stone to buy Foundation Establishment Pill.

Once he becomes Foundation Establishment True Person, he can find more dao companion.

Once Liu Yiyi's father dies of old age, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with Liu Yiyi.

Tie Li took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

He forced a smile, a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

He walked over to Liu Yiyi and asked with concern, "Yiyi, are you alright? Where are you hurt?"

He reached out to Liu Yiyi's hand, wanting to take Liu Yiyi hand.

Liu Yiyi slightly turned her body to the side, avoiding his hand.

"I'm fine, I just ran out of spiritual energy, I just need to rest for a bit."

Liu Yiyi's voice was cool and clear, carrying a hint of barely perceptible aloofness.

That alienation was like a fine needle, gently but firmly pricking Tie Li's heart.
