Wang Mengde Plays the Green Tea, Liu Yiyi Agrees

Tie Li transmitted his voice to Liu Yiyi again. "Yiyi, just ten days."

For the sake of our past dao companion, let's give each other ten days to cool off.

If you are not willing to calm down for ten days, I will absolutely not agree to a divorce and will tell your father about your betrayal of me.

Tell everyone.

If you still insist on divorce after ten days of cooling off, then let's get a divorce.

Liu Yiyi fell silent.

She didn't answer immediately, but just looked at the sea in front of her, at the waves dyed dark red by the setting sun.

The sea breeze blew her hair to the side of her face, but she didn't brush it away.

She took a deep breath and whispered to Tie Li, "Then let's get a divorce in ten days."

Tie Li's body stiffened again, but he said nothing, only nodded and increased the speed of his sword flight.

He had made up his mind to go back and immediately buy the Passion Powder.

Wang Mengde watched the two people in front of him from afar, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The effect of the hero rescuing the damsel in distress was much better than he had expected.

He had originally thought he needed to plant a seed in Liu Yiyi's heart, water it slowly, fertilize it gently, and wait for it to take root and sprout on its own.

To my surprise, the seed blossomed on the very day it was planted, and it looks like it will bear fruit soon.

Liu Yiyi has already fallen for him.

This can be seen from the kiss on the reef.

You could tell from the moment she took the initiative to respond.

But Liu Yiyi already dao companion.

Tie Li will not let this go.

Tie Li witnessed that scene on the reef today.

He knew a little about Tie Li.

He is vengeful and ruthless, and is a notorious villain on Rosy Cloud Island.

With his Tie Li heart and temper, he must have already come to hate Liu Yiyi.

Tie Li didn't show any outward reaction to what happened today, but who knows what he might do behind the scenes.

Liu Yiyi is Tie Li's dao companion, and the two have many opportunities to be alone together.

Wang Mengde narrowed his eyes slightly. Things had come to this point, and Tie Li had been completely offended, so he could not be allowed to live.

This needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

If we can't deal with Tie Li for the time being, we should snatch Liu Yiyi away as soon as possible.

Every day Liu Yiyi stays by Tie Li's side increases the danger she faces.

He would only feel at ease if he could snatch Liu Yiyi away as soon as possible.

Besides, snatching it would help him quickly improve his cultivation level.

As his cultivation level increased, his speed of earning Spirit Stone also increased dramatically. This allowed him to quickly acquire a large amount of Cultivation Resources, which he used to help Liu Yiyi and Qingyue cultivate and rapidly accumulate Yin-Nature Power. The feedback from the two of them to him further boosted his cultivation level.

This creates a virtuous cycle that can significantly increase the cultivation speed of the three individuals.

Once he Foundation Establishment, his ability to earn Spirit Stone will increase dramatically, providing the two with more resources to help them raise their cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining.

Purchase Foundation Establishment Pill for the two of them.

With their talent, as long as they have Foundation Establishment Pill, their chances of Foundation Establishment are quite high.

At that time, there will be three Foundation Establishment in one family.

Just then, Liu Yiyi turned and glanced at him, then, as if possessed, transmitted her voice, "Ten days from now, I will divorce Tie Li."

As soon as she said those words, Liu Yiyi regretted them.

Why am I saying all this?

It was as if she herself was eager to become Wang Mengde's dao companion.

She was certain that she didn't like Tie Li.

I don't want to delay Tie Li.

But she wasn't ready to become Wang Mengde's dao companion.

She frantically tried to say something to salvage the situation, but found her lips were glued shut, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Upon hearing this, Wang Mengde's eyes lit up slightly, and he began to paint a rosy picture for Liu Yiyi: "Yiyi, become my dao companion, and I will certainly treat you well..."

"Don't overthink it." Liu Yiyi interrupted him coldly, a hint of panic in her voice. "I didn't agree to be your dao companion. I'm just letting you know, don't get the wrong idea."

Wang Mengde, adopting the demeanor of a scheming male supporting character in a TV drama, lowered his head slightly, his voice carrying a perfectly measured sense of melancholy. "I know I am not worthy of you. You are the daughter of Foundation Establishment True Person, Four-Attribute Spirit Root and a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining."

I am just a Rogue Cultivator with Five-Element Spirit Root; I have nothing.

You have the right to refuse me.

Wang Mengde paused, his voice growing even deeper. "I'll go to the Ten-Thousand Grotto Demon Lair to earn Spirit Stone as soon as possible. I'll definitely reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible. Once I've reached Foundation Establishment, I'll come back to find you, if—if I can come back alive."

His face bore a resolute, tragic, and death-defying expression—the standard expression of a scheming male supporting character that I had seen countless times in TV dramas in my past life.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi turned around sharply to look at Wang Mengde.

She saw the dejection and resolve on Wang Mengde's face.

The young face, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, had sharply defined features, but it was filled with a sense of loneliness.

There was a resolute look in his eyes that she had never seen before.

Ten-Thousand Grotto Demon Lair.

Even cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining might not be able to return from that place.

Liu Yiyi's heart skipped a beat.

The tremor spread from her heart, as if a hand had gently plucked the softest string in her heart.

Then, she recalled the scene when Wang Mengde saved her.

I recall the moment he burst from beneath the sea, splashing water everywhere, his figure silhouetted against the light, like a bolt of lightning cleaving through death.

She recalled the moment he held her in his arms, his arms strong and powerful, his chest warm and broad, like a shield protecting her from danger.

I recall those ripples.

I remember that tingling, numb feeling.

That feeling was something she had never experienced before in her life.

It felt like countless tiny electric currents were coursing through her veins, making her feel weak all over. All she wanted to do was lean against him, not wanting to think about anything or care about anything else.

She recalled how Wang Mengde had practiced Law Technique tirelessly, day and night, in order to be worthy of her.

A Rogue Cultivator with Five-Element Spirit Root spent eight years cultivating from the First Layer of Qi Refinement Refining to the Seventh-Level Qi Refinement.

He mastered several Law Techniques to the Peak Mastery level.

How many sleepless nights were there, how many times did he collapse from exhaustion after his spiritual energy was depleted?

Now, he's going to the Ten-Thousand Grotto Demon Lair for her.

Ten-Thousand Grotto Demon Lair.

That place is too dangerous.

Yang Daqiang, Guo Lihui, and Guo Liqiang went there, but there was no news of them.

Not even bones could be found.

One of her cousins, Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement of Qi Refining, also disappeared without a trace after entering.

The Ten-Thousand Grotto Demon Lair is one of the most dangerous demon lairs near the Shattered Star Archipelago. It is inhabited by countless demons, including minor demons and even powerful demons comparable to Foundation Establishment True Person.

For a Qi Refining cultivator to enter, the chance of survival is extremely slim.

Liu Yiyi blurted out involuntarily, "It's too dangerous over there, you shouldn't go."

Her voice carried an anxiety and worry that she herself was unaware of.

That anxiety was like a needle, piercing through all her previous reserve and aloofness.

Upon hearing this, Wang Mengde felt reassured.

The effect of his heroic rescue was far better than he had anticipated; he had already won Liu Yiyi's heart.

Let's strike while the iron is hot.

He continued to feign the manipulative nature of his past life, lowering his eyelids slightly and speaking in a soft, gentle voice with a pitiful air. "I am not worthy of you now. I need to go to the Ten-Thousand Grotto Demon Lair. Give me ten years—"

No----

I won't keep you waiting that long. Give me six years, and I will definitely become Foundation Establishment expert and I will definitely come back.

If I don't come back, it means I'm dead, and we're destined to be apart in this life—"

His face had the standard expression of a manipulative male supporting character, and his words were full of the air of a manipulative woman.

That feigned strength masking vulnerability, that calculated retreat in a show of force, that seemingly affectionate yet actually manipulative promise—any experienced cultivator could see right through it at a glance.

But Liu Yiyi was naive and had no idea what a "green tea" was.

All she knew was that Wang Mengde was going to risk his life in the extremely dangerous Ten-Thousand Grotto Demon Lair for her sake.

Her mind was in turmoil.

It was as chaotic as a wisp of cloud scattered by the wind, impossible to gather together.

She didn't want Wang Mengde to take any risks.

I don't want Wang Mengde to die there.

What is the Ten-Thousand Grotto Demon Lair?

That's the graveyard of Qi Refining cultivators.

Many cultivators at the Peak Qi Refinement went in and never came out again.

How many days could Wang Mengde, a Seventh-Level Qi Refinement with Five-Element Spirit Root, survive inside?

Three days?

Ten days?

Or a month?

She didn't want him to die.

She didn't want him to go to that awful place.

Liu Yiyi gritted her teeth and transmitted her voice to Wang Mengde: "I won't allow you to take the risk."

The voice carried an undeniable firmness.

But then her voice softened, as soft as a lake ruffled by a spring breeze. "One year... I'll be your dao companion after one year."

The moment she said those words, Liu Yiyi felt her face burning.

She didn't know how she could have said such a thing.

She's really no good.

She agreed to Wang Mengde's proposal even before she and Tie Li had officially divorced.

She clearly told Wang Mengde not to think too much about it.

But she did say it.

It was as if something was pushing her, forcing her, compelling her to say those words.

Wang Mengde was overjoyed.

The power of this hero rescuing the damsel in distress and feigning innocence is truly terrifying.

He originally thought he would need to spend a lot of time, effort, and tactics on Liu Yiyi.

Unexpectedly, a heroic rescue and a few scheming lines were enough to make Liu Yiyi agree to the relationship.

This woman's romantic mindset is even more severe than he imagined.

He seems a bit slow and clumsy.

He liked it even more; he preferred women who were a little bit clumsy.

However, he still wanted to know why Liu Yiyi had to wait a year.

He asked telepathically, "Why wait a year?"

His voice carried a perfect balance of confusion and urgency, like that of a young man who genuinely loves a woman and can't wait to be with her forever.

Liu Yiyi remained silent for a while.

She gazed at the Tie Li back before her.

She transmitted her voice, "I am sorry to Tie Li for this."

If I'm with you now, it will make Tie Li a laughingstock.

It would also cause my father and Master Tie Li to turn against each other.

My father's lifespan is nearing its end; he has at most thirty years left to live.

Throughout his life, what he valued most was face and friends.

Tie Li's master and he had known each other for many years; their friendship was one of life-or-death commitment.

I don't want my father to fall out with his old friend because of his daughter.

She paused, a hint of confusion in her voice. "Let's divorce Tie Li first. A year after the divorce, we can get together. That way, it won't seem abrupt, Tie Li won't become a laughingstock, and Tie Li's master won't turn against my father."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

She lowered her head, looking at the sea rushing past her feet, her mind in turmoil.

She didn't know if her decision was right or wrong.

Does she really have a future with Wang Mengde?

Wang Mengde possesses Five-Element Spirit Root, making his chances of Foundation Establishment extremely slim.

The probability of a cultivator with Five-Element Spirit Root Foundation Establishment is barely higher than finding a needle in a haystack.

Even with Four-Attribute Spirit Root, she might not be able to Foundation Establishment.

Although Four-Attribute Spirit Root are stronger than Five-Element Spirit Root, they do not necessarily guarantee the ability to Foundation Establishment.

If you can't Foundation Establishment, then you can't Foundation Establishment.

Go ahead and browse.

That feeling that sent shivers down her spine made her fall for it.

That tingling, numbing sensation captivated her.

She absolutely refused to let Wang Mengde risk his Ten-Thousand Grotto Demon Lair.

Wang Mengde was certain.

One year is fine.

A year passed quickly, and he managed to stay in the game perfectly.

As for Qingyue, he just needs to be more diligent in visiting her.

A year later, his cultivation level increased dramatically along with Liu Yiyi's.

"Okay." His voice was gentle yet firm. "I'll wait for you for a year."

Liu Yiyi didn't say anything more.

She turned her head and looked at Qixia Ya getting closer and closer. Her heart was like a tangled mess, impossible to unravel.

But she didn't regret it.

Not at least not now.

The group flew to Qixia and landed in the square in front of the patrol office.

The bluestone slabs in the square were stained dark red by the evening sun, and a few Spirit Stone lamps emitted a dim yellow light under the porch.

Wang Mengde, Tie Li, Yan Chang, and Liu Yiyi entered the large container of the Island Patrol Office.

Yang Qiming was sitting in the middle of the large table, holding a cup of tea. When he saw the four people come in, he put down the teacup and glanced at their faces.

Tie Li took the corpse of the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish from his Storage Bag and placed it on the ground near the large piece of wood.

Its long body, with silvery-gray scales, shimmered faintly under the Spirit Stone lamp.

Yang Qiming stood up, surprised, and said, "It's actually Wave-Chasing Flying Fish at the Eighth-Level Lesser Demon, in perfect condition, I won't even look at it."

With a wave of his hand, he put the fish carcass into his Storage Bag. "After I sell this fish, I'll divide the proceeds equally among the four teams."

He took out a pile of Spirit Stone and four jade tokens from his Storage Bag and placed them on the table. "In addition, the four of you captured the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish, so each of you will be rewarded with five hundred Spirit Stone and the opportunity to purchase a Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pill. However, I don't have any Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pill on me right now; I'll have some in ten days."

Wang Mengde put his share of the Spirit Stone and jade pendant into his Storage Bag.

Yang Qiming nodded and waved his hand. "Go down."

The four turned and walked out of the patrol station.

Wang Mengde walked at the front, and as they reached the square outside the patrol station, a chilling voice transmitted into his ear. "If you dare to harass Yiyi again, I will tear you to pieces."

Wang Mengde paused slightly, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He turned his head, looked at Tie Li's ashen face, and gave him a bright smile.

There was no provocation, no mockery, not even a trace of hostility in that smile; it was just a simple, sincere, and heartfelt smile.

His lips moved slightly, and he transmitted his voice, "I'll be waiting anytime."

Tie Li's pupils suddenly contracted.

That little brat who didn't even dare to raise his head in front of him back then, now dares to speak to him in such a tone?

He recalled that a few years ago, Wang Mengde came to the Black Shark Monster-Hunting Fleet to recruit crew members.

He was sent flying by a casual palm strike, looking utterly disheveled, and didn't dare utter a single word.

How long has it been?

This piece of trash dares to put on such a show in front of him?

He couldn't wait to kill that bastard.

However, before killing Wang Mengde, we must first capture Liu Yiyi and show Wang Mengde that Liu Yiyi is our woman.

Tie Li gave Wang Mengde a cold look, then flew into the sky on his sword and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He went to the Broken Star Cluster to buy Passion Powder.

Wang Mengde's eyes narrowed slightly. Now that he had broken ties with Tie Li, he should resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Keeping it will cause endless trouble.

However, Tie Li's Sword-Controlling Technique was also at Major Accomplishment level, his cultivation was higher than his, and his speed was too fast for him to catch up with.

Then let's wait for an opportunity.

Sun Hao, Zhang Hu, and Li Cheng approached from the edge of the square.

Sun Hao rubbed his hands together, a slightly ingratiating smile on his face, and cautiously asked, "Captain, about the blind date you mentioned earlier—when will it be arranged?"

Zhang Hu and Li Cheng were also about to speak.

Wang Mengde glanced at the three of them and said calmly, "Let's postpone the blind dates for now."

3

The three of them were all taken aback.

Sun Hao asked anxiously, "Captain, what's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted to meet someone?"

Wang Mengde shook his head, offering no explanation.

Love has changed.

His relationship with Liu Yiyi progressed rapidly.

The top priority now is to win over Liu Yiyi.

Even if those women were willing to switch to cultivating the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, they would still need to spend time cultivating and accumulating Yin-Nature Power.

It won't be of any use for at least a year or two.

Moreover, cultivating the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula requires spending a large amount of Spirit Stone to buy the Cultivation Method, and also requires Spirit Stone and pills to assist in cultivation, all of which require Spirit Stone.

With so many Spirit Stones, it would be better to spend them on Liu Yiyi and speed up the process of Liu Yiyi over.

Once he gets his hands on Liu Yiyi, the Yin-Nature Power that has been accumulating within her for so long will be enough to cause his cultivation level to increase dramatically.

Most importantly, openly seeking out women at this time might cause Liu Yiyi to change her mind.

Liu Yiyi possesses the Seventh-Level Qi Refinement of Qi Refining and Four-Attribute Spirit Root. She is estimated to be equivalent to five female cultivators at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement Refining, or more than a dozen female cultivators at the First Layer of Qi Refinement of Qi Refining.

For the sake of those ordinary women, he lost Liu Yiyi.

Wouldn't that be like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon?

"I'm leaving." Wang Mengde turned and strode away from the patrol office.

Sun Hao, Zhang Hu, Li Cheng were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Hu nodded and asked Sun Hao in a low voice, "What's wrong with the captain? Didn't we agree on everything before?"

Sun Hao watched Wang Mengde's departing back, lost in thought.

He recalled the scene on the reef earlier that day: the Tie Li face, Liu Yiyi's lowered head, her flushed face, and the captain's calm gaze.

Could it be that the captain and Liu Yiyi...?

How is that possible?

How could Liu Yiyi possibly be interested in the captain?

Sun Hao's eyes widened slightly, then quickly returned to normal.

He coughed, put on a stern face, and said to Zhang Hu and Li Cheng, "Don't pry into the captain's affairs. That's all."
