That's So Impressive!

"You—you stop talking." Liu Yiyi's voice trembled slightly. She took half a step back, her back pressed against the wall of the quiet room.

Wang Mengde stepped forward, got close to Liu Yiyi, and smiled slightly, revealing a smile that was both mischievous and gentle.

Liu Yiyi felt nervous and said, "I'm not divorced yet. We can't let people see us like this today."

"Don't worry, I came here today just to see you, to hear your voice, and to see you put my mind at ease. Open the Light Barrier for me; I'm going back to cultivate." His voice returned to calm.

Liu Yiyi paused slightly, somewhat reluctant, but still opened the Light Barrier.

"I'm leaving." After saying this, Wang Mengde strode away without lingering or showing any reluctance.

If you spend all your time revolving around women, they will look down on you and think you're not doing anything productive.

If you improve yourself quickly and become stronger, women will actually think more highly of you.

How to treat women.

Don't lick too much.

It needs to be provoked.

Women love to hear sweet words, as long as the other person likes you.

You should say sweet words to the other person and stir their emotions.

Just like before.

We still need to attract them.

Showcase your strengths to attract the other person.

In this world, what attracts women most is nothing more than powerful strength and formidable Law Technique.

That Law Technique he just used was him showing off his muscles.

Attracting Liu Yiyi.

Let Liu Yiyi know that I am very capable.

Then came the back and forth, near and far.

What seems near today may seem far tomorrow.

Today they exchanged sweet words, tomorrow they'll only talk about cultivation.

He was unfathomable to her, unpredictable to her, making her restless and unable to resist seeking him out.

Wang Mengde's lips curled up slightly, and his steps became a little lighter.

Liu Yiyi stood by the door frame, watching Wang Mengde leave without looking back, her lips slightly pouting.

The movement was so light that she didn't even realize it herself.

It's like a child watching their favorite sugar figurine being taken away, wanting to say something but too embarrassed to, so they can only pout slightly and suppress their reluctance in their heart.

"That bad thing."

She stood there for a while longer before turning around and walking back to the attic.

Liu Yiyi returned to her quiet room, sat down on the futon, but did not immediately begin her cultivation as usual.

She took out the Talisman given to her by Wang Mengde, her gaze falling on it, but she wasn't really looking at it.

She recalled the look in Wang Mengde's eyes when he looked at her.

That burning, direct, and undisguised gaze was like a fire, making her feel hot all over.

She remembered what he had said.

I just want to see you.

"You're all I can think about."

"This life has been worthwhile."

97

Every word felt warm, branded onto her heart, making her tremble with desire.

She had never heard such a thing before.

Tie Li had been with her for almost two years, and he had never looked at her like this before, nor had he ever spoken to her like this before.

Tie Li was always gentle, restrained, and polite.

He would say, "Yiyi, you're tired, get some rest," "Yiyi 've had a hard day," and "Yiyi, how is your father?"

Those words were polite, considerate, but... devoid of warmth.

She used to think that was love, that was care, that was what a dao companion should do.

But now she knows.

No.

That's not it.

That was just a polite way of putting it.

There was always a layer of politeness between her and Tie Li.

It's like two partners who signed a contract, each getting what they need and not interfering with each other.

But Wang Mengde was different.

The way he looked at her was as if he wanted to capture her entire being.

His words were passionate, direct, and even somewhat audacious, yet they made her heart pound as if it were about to explode.

That feeling----

Liu Yiyi pressed her hand to her chest, feeling the irregular beating there, her heart filled with panic and confusion.

She liked this feeling.

I love that thrilling feeling, that tingling sensation all over my body, and the feeling of being looked at with burning eyes and spoken to with burning words.

Immediately, a hint of curiosity appeared in Liu Yiyi's beautiful eyes.

What kind of Law Technique was that guy hiding in his palm? It had such a terrifying aura of destruction.

That's amazing!

Wang Mengde returned to the Loft No. 37, pushed open the courtyard gate, crossed the courtyard, and entered the quiet room.

He took off his shirt.

He took out a bottle of Tendon-Strengthening Meridian-Opening Soup from his Storage Bag, uncorked it, and tilted his head back to gulp it down.

As the medicine entered the stomach, a warm current spread from the stomach and flowed along the meridians to the limbs and bones.

He sat down cross-legged, raised his right hand, and lightning burst forth from his palm.

A bolt of white-purple lightning erupted from his palm and slammed into his chest.

A sharp pain shot through me, like countless tiny needles piercing my flesh at once.

He activated the Thunder Tempering Body Formula, guiding the power of thunder into his body bit by bit, directing it to his limbs and bones.

The power of thunder surged through his meridians, and a stinging sensation spread from his chest throughout his body.

The spiritual energy, Qi and Blood energy, and the medicinal power of the Tendon-Strengthening Meridian-Opening Soup he had just taken surged rapidly under the guidance of the Thunder Tempering Body Formula, nourishing the flesh and blood that had been bombarded by lightning.

As spiritual energy Qi and Blood through the painful area, a very comfortable feeling arose.

Golden words appeared in my mind.

[Thunder Tempering Body Formula +1]

[Physical Body Cultivation +1]

Half an hour later, Wang Mengde opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

The breath carried a faint, burnt smell, which slowly dissipated in the quiet room.

He looked down at his chest; the spot where he had been struck by the Palm Thunder Technique was now just a faint red mark, fading away at a visible speed.

He sensed the spiritual energy within his body and discovered that after his Spirit Power Cultivation reached the Seventh-Level Qi Refinement, the intense yang energy contained in the lightning in his Palm Thunder Technique was even more concentrated than when he was at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement.

The purple lightning contained a scorching aura, like a flame compressed to its limit. As it flowed through the meridians, it stained the spiritual energy along its path with a faint red hue.

The speed at which the Thunder Tempering Body Formula was accumulating intense heat into spiritual energy had indeed increased.

Wang Mengde closed his eyes Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula.

The spiritual energy flowed slowly through the meridians.

One Greater Celestial Circuit.

Two Greater Celestial Circuit.

[The Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula +1]

[Spirit Power Cultivation +1]

Wang Mengde opened his eyes and found that after his cultivation reached the Seventh-Level Qi Refinement, the speed at which he accumulated fiery power through the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula had also increased significantly.

Previously, circulating one Greater Celestial Circuit would only increase the heat in one's spiritual power by a negligible amount.

Now, with the same Greater Celestial Circuit, the increase in heat has at least doubled.

It seems I need to win over Liu Yiyi as soon as possible.

Wang Mengde sat cross-legged and continued his cultivation. He accelerated the circulation of his Cultivation Method, and spiritual energy surged through his meridians like a tide, accumulating fiery power little by little.

For the next three days, Wang Mengde locked himself in a quiet room and practiced diligently.

During the day, he practiced the Thunder Tempering Body Formula, with Palm Thunder Technique striking his body from his palms one after another. The quiet room was filled with flashes of lightning and crackling sounds.

At night, while practicing the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, spiritual energy surged through his meridians like a river, and intense heat gradually accumulated.

Occasionally, they also draw Spirit Shield Talisman.

However, the success rate of drawing is too low; it only succeeds once or twice out of a hundred attempts.

On the morning of the fourth day, a figure landed on a sword in front of the Loft No. 31 on Rosy Cloud Island.

It was Tie Li who had returned from the Shattered Star Archipelago.

Tie Li stood outside the door, a gentle smile on his face.

He raised his hand and waved it, causing spiritual energy to surge, and a crack silently appeared in the protective Light Barrier of the pavilion.

He stepped into the Light Barrier, and Zi Guang first glanced at Liu Yiyi's quiet room.

The door to the quiet room was closed, but a faint spiritual light shone through the crack, and subtle, steady fluctuations of spiritual energy emanated from within.

She is cultivating.

Tie Li's lips curled up slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

He withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked into the dining hall where he usually ate.

The canteen is small, with a square table and a few chairs, and it's kept very clean.

He took out plates of exquisite dishes from his Storage Bag and placed them on the table.

Braised Spirit Fish, steamed spirit crab, chicken stew with spirit mushrooms, jade spirit vegetables, and a plate of crystal-clear spirit fruit.

Every dish was meticulously prepared by the renowned Spirit Cuisine Pavilion on Azure Cliff Island, boasting excellent color, aroma, and taste; just looking at the colors was enough to whet one's appetite.

He then took out two more bottles of spirit wine, one of Osmanthus Brew and the other of Plum Blossom Drunk wine, both of which were of the finest quality. The wine was clear and had a faint fragrance when poured into a glass.

He placed the bottle on the table.

He thought for a moment, then turned and went to the study.

Then he left the study and went to the reception room.

Having made all the preparations, he took a deep breath, put on his gentle smile again, and walked to the door of the quiet room.

He raised his hand and tapped three times lightly.

The spiritual energy vibrated in, producing a soft buzzing sound.

"Yiyi, I'm back." His voice was gentle and calm.

It was quiet inside for a while.

Then came the sound of light footsteps, so light it was like stepping on cotton.

The door opened.

Liu Yiyi stood behind the door, dressed in a plain-colored dress, her hair simply tied back, revealing a clean face.

Her face was expressionless, and she looked at him with a cold and indifferent gaze.

"What is it?" Her voice was cold, as cold as the sea in winter.

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

Tie Li's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and an uncontrollable anger welled up in his heart.

This woman, his dao companion, who had been with him for nearly two years, was now speaking to him in this tone.

Cold, distant, and overly polite, as if treating someone you don't know very well.

But when she was held in Wang Mengde's arms on the reef, her expression was different.

Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled, her lips were slightly pouting, and her whole body was as soft as a puddle of water.

Tie Li suppressed his anger, a look of dejection and helplessness appearing on his face.

He sighed, his voice carrying a sense of relief. "Yiyi, I've made up my mind."

Since you insist on leaving, there's no point in me forcing you.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She had assumed that Tie Li would pester her relentlessly, threaten her with divorce, and complain to her father.

She was prepared to face all of this.

To my surprise, he agreed.

Her brows relaxed slightly, and her tense shoulders and back loosened up a bit.

Seeing her relaxed demeanor, Tie Li's anger burned even brighter.

Does she really want to leave him?

He proposed a divorce, and instead of feeling any reluctance, she breathed a sigh of relief.

All because of that damned Wang Mengde.

His face showed no sign of anything amiss; he simply lowered his eyelids slightly, his voice tinged with regret. "Since we're parting ways, let's have a farewell dinner."

I bought some spiritual food from the Spirit Cuisine Pavilion on Azure Cliff Island; it's all your favorite dishes.

Braised Spirit Fish, steamed mandarin crab, stewed chicken with mandarin mushrooms, as well as Osmanthus Brew and Plum Blossom Drunk.

This is the last time, just consider it—a keepsake for me.

As he spoke, he stepped aside and gestured for him to proceed.

The canteen door was open, and you could see the tables inside laden with steaming dishes, their aroma wafting out.

Liu Yiyi glanced in the direction of the cafeteria, but did not take a step.

She remembered what Wang Mengde had said.

Do not eat any food that Tie Li gives you.

Poisoning is possible.

A sense of unease welled up within her.

She shook her head, her voice calm yet firm. "No need for the spiritual meal."

She paused, looking at Tie Li: "In the past three days, I have sold the robe and the Demon-Binding Rope to two talisman masters at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement Refining."

However, they don't have enough Spirit Stone yet and are still collecting them.

They promised to give me Spirit Stone within five days.

I will compensate you twenty times for your expenses.

Make a list for me, clearly listing everything you've given me over the years— Spirit Stone, elixirs, Talisman, Law Artifact —don't leave anything out.

I'll compensate you with twenty times the market value.

Tie Li's pupils contracted slightly.

She would rather pay him twenty times the amount he spent than not divorce him.

It felt like there was a fire burning in his chest, making his internal organs ache.

That damn woman, she'd rather go bankrupt than be with him.

He felt he had been greatly insulted.

He Tie Li and had served as the captain of the Black Shark Monster-Hunting Fleet for many years, making him a prominent figure on Rosy Cloud Island.

Now he has become a disciple of Foundation Establishment True Person.

Countless women wanted to get close to him, but he ignored them all.

When he was pursuing Liu Yiyi, he pretended to be gentle and considerate in front of her for so many years, and he did so much work in front of her father before Liu Yuanming finally agreed to the marriage.

Now, this woman is willing to sell her magic robes and Demon-Binding Rope to divorce him.

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

A bitter smile appeared on his face, his voice carrying a helpless gentleness. "Since you insist on leaving, there's no point in me keeping you here. Let's part ways amicably."

Let's go have a farewell dinner first, and then we'll calculate the compensation amount in detail.

Look, the food's all cold.

Liu Yiyi shook her head again. "Let's settle the accounts directly. You list out the bill, and I'll take a look at the numbers."

Once the Spirit Stone for those two talisman masters arrive, I will pay you in full.

Tie Li looked at her, a barely perceptible hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded. "In that case, I won't force you."

Shall we settle the accounts in the study or the living room?

"You can't just stand at the door, can you?"

Liu Yiyi thought for a moment, then said in a cool voice, "Let's go to the reception room."

Tie Li nodded and turned to walk towards the reception room.

Liu Yiyi followed behind him, and the two entered the reception room one after the other.

Tie Li walked ahead, and with a wave of his hand, a surge of spiritual energy flowed from his palm, closing the spiritual energy Light Barrier in the reception room.

The Light Barrier closed silently, isolating the room from the outside world.

Liu Yiyi frowned slightly.

She subconsciously took a half step back, her gaze sweeping over Tie Li's face.

His face still wore that gentle expression, showing no sign of anything amiss.

But she always felt something was off.

But they never closed the Light Barrier in the reception room when they talked.

A sense of unease welled up within her, and she became secretly on guard.

Without making a sound, she patted her Storage Bag, and a pale yellow Talisman flew out and quietly slipped into her sleeve.

That was First-Rank Voice Transmission Talisman, connected to Wang Mengde on the other end.

Her fingers gently pressed on the Talisman, and spiritual energy surged slightly as she quietly used it to write the characters, ready to activate the Talisman at any time.
