As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Xiaolei flashed to the left, then leaped into the air, performing a somersault and landing at the edge of the circle, just managing to dodge the attacks from Liu Chengcheng and Wang Xiaoyun.
Liu Chengcheng and Wang Xiaoyun knew they couldn't give Yuan Xiaolei a chance to catch her breath, so they used their Graceful Steps upon the Waves ) to pounce on her again.
Liu Chengcheng was responsible for the frontal assault, while Wang Xiaoyun was responsible for predicting Yuan Xiaolei's trajectory and making a plan before acting.
Even so, Yuan Xiaolei seemed to have eyes, moving around the circle with extremely strange movements, easily dodging the two men's attacks time and time again.
The three of them flitted about in the narrow space like butterflies flitting among flowers, a truly beautiful sight.
The commotion they made naturally attracted Ling Yi and Chi Ni had just come to her senses.
Chi Ni, in particular, found it hard to understand how Yuan Xiaolei managed to dodge attacks from behind multiple times while blindfolded.
Compared to the antics of Yuan Xiaolei and the other two girls, she understood the power of this technique better. If it could be applied in actual combat, it could very well enable the weak to defeat the strong and turn the tide of battle.
"How did you do that?" Chi Ni asked Ling Yi.
Ling Yi thought to himself, "One Sword Intent isn't enough for you to learn, you're being greedy, girl."
Seeing Chi Ni Ling Yi didn't react, Chi Ni came to her senses. It seemed that Ling Yi couldn't speak.
Instead of asking Ling Yi, you should ask Yuan Xiaolei.
She doesn't have Yuan Xiaolei's top-notch translation skills.
Five minutes passed, and Wang Xiaoyun and Liu Chengcheng looked dejected.
" Yuan Xiaolei, we've really made a huge grudge here!" Wang Xiaoyun said through gritted teeth.
"No, no, you're welcome to challenge me anytime. Don't forget to cook, it's almost lunchtime." Yuan Xiaolei said smugly, unable to hide the smile on her face.
"I should have listened to you; Little Leilei is getting worse and worse."
"Hmph, the saying 'one is influenced by one's company' applies here. It's probably all because of Ling Yi's bad influence. Little Leilei used to be so cute, look at her now, she's a complete scheming monster."
Ling Yi was not happy to hear this. Had he uttered a single line since his appearance? How could he be blamed for all of this?
So, Ling Yi rushed back to his room and filled a large basin with bed sheets, blankets, coats, socks, and underwear, placing it directly next to the two women.
Then he pointed to the pile of dirty clothes, then to the kitchen, before leisurely lying back on the recliner. The sun was shining so brightly right now, he couldn't waste it.
"Sure enough, this guy is petty!" Wang Xiaoyun sighed.
"You still dare to say that?" Liu Chengcheng looked at her speechlessly.
"What can we do now that things are like this? You do the laundry, I'll cook." With that, she ran back to her room.
Liu Chengcheng sighed. Washing clothes was out of the question; she had never washed clothes before.
But none of that mattered. She went out in the afternoon and found a laundry shop, and the laundry problem was solved.
Anyway, there's no rule that says she has to wash it herself.
In the afternoon, Yuan Xiaolei pestered Ling Yi to teach her the Nine Swords of Dugu.
As they spent more time together, the girl became increasingly bold.
Yuan Xiaolei would sometimes mess up Ling Yi's hair, sometimes pinch Ling Yi's nose, and sometimes cover Ling Yi's mouth with her small hand.
Ling Yi has lived two lives, and while he may be somewhat virtuous, he is ultimately a man.
Doesn't this girl know that many of his actions just now needed to be Masai to pass the review?
Ling Yi had no choice but to deal with her first.
With a wave of his hand, a wooden sword from the shelf beside him fell into his hand.
Because everyone has become obsessed with the Nine Swords of Dugu these past few days, Liu Chengcheng specially commissioned dozens of wooden swords and placed them in the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, Chi Ni and the others rushed over.
Ling Yi tapped each of the four women once with his wooden sword, then stood with his back to them, sword in hand.
Yuan Xiaolei translated. "Let's all four of us attack together!"
"We don't need your translation, we can all understand it," Liu Chengcheng said, brandishing her wooden sword and thrusting it straight at Ling Yi's face.
Ling Yi flicked the wooden sword in his hand upwards and turned it around, causing Liu Chengcheng's Jian Yi tilt and open wide.
The next moment, the tip of the wooden sword was already pressed against her throat.
Liu Chengcheng refused to accept defeat and took a step back to attack again. However, no matter how she attacked, Ling Yi was always one step ahead of her, breaking her sword moves and keeping the tip of his sword close to her throat.
This time, Liu Chengcheng was truly convinced. She pulled aside, lost in thought.
Following them were Chi Ni, Yuan Xiaolei, and finally Wang Xiaoyun.
The result is the same.
Yuan Xiaolei, Chi Ni, Liu Chengcheng all had some understanding, but they just couldn't grasp the key point.
Instead, Wang Xiaoyun was gesturing with the wooden sword, then exclaimed, "I understand!"
He ran up to Ling Yi and grinned, "I want to challenge you."
Who gave you the courage!
Ling Yi stood there awkwardly, looking at her with a faint smile.
Wang Xiaoyun brandished the wooden sword for a long time, but no matter which direction she attacked from, Ling Yi's sword tip always managed to point to the flaws in her swordsmanship.
Finally, in a fit of anger, he Jian Yi: "What kind of lousy swordsmanship is this? It's a total rip-off!"
Then he walked away without looking back.
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Wang Xiaoyun really understood the essence of the Nine Swords of Dugu.
It was only after understanding it that I realized just how tricky this sword technique really was.
The next few days will be cloudy, so there's no sunshine.
Ling Yi Bored, so he decided to carve a life-size wooden doll and then depict acupoints and meridians on it.
For no other reason than to Passing Time.
Even testing with concentrated wood didn't work.
On the one hand, the wood needs to be dense, but on the other hand, it cannot be too hard, which is an extremely contradictory choice.
Ling Yi searched online and found a type of wood called cottonwood that perfectly met his requirements.
This is a type of Genki tree, just like Genki metal and Genki medicine. It is a unique tree in this world, a tree that Fusion Genki.
Moreover, there are cottonwood trees in the Mist Forest.
It's not found on the outskirts, but deep within the Mist Forest.
Although the Mist Forest is located on the outskirts of the Mist Mountain Range, it is also home to high-level Demonic Beast.
In the past, Ling Yi would naturally not have taken such a risk.
But now, Ling Yi is not afraid at all. Perhaps he is not a match for high-level Demonic Beast, but he still has the ability to protect himself.
Moreover, Ling Yi's current strength is probably beyond even his own comprehension.
Upon learning that Ling Yi was going to cut down trees in the Mist Forest, the girls all showed great enthusiasm.
Even though their strength was improving every day while staying in the manor, they were still young people, and this kind of lazy, retirement life was simply not suitable for them.
Only an oddball like Ling Yi could comfortably live this kind of life, essentially retiring before even graduating.
"Quick, where did I put my sunscreen? I need to find it right away!"
"Big sister, it's cloudy. What kind of sunscreen are you going to prepare? Besides, you don't need sunscreen in the Mist Forest. You should bring some insect repellent instead."
Do we need to prepare a tent?
"Tomboy, do you think this is a camping trip?"
"It's better to be prepared, what if we need to?"
"You prepared it yourself, so take it yourself. Don't expect me to help you."
" Little Leilei, you've completely stopped loving me, haven't you?"
"Roll!"
Listening to the girls arguing and watching them run around in front of him, Ling Yi rubbed his temples. It was truly a bittersweet experience.
You're all dressed so scantily, you really don't treat him like an outsider!
It must be said that these four beauties are all truly remarkable in their own way. It's just a pity that Ling Yi has too many attributes; it's purely for appreciation. Even Tang Sanzang wasn't as virtuous as him.
If it were a different Protagonist, they would probably have been taken over long ago.
It took the four women two full hours of fussing before they each stood before Ling Yi, carrying a large bag on their backs.
" Ling Yi, you haven't prepared anything?" Yuan Xiaolei asked.
What are you preparing? Do you really think this is a camping trip? It's just going to the Mist Forest to cut down a tree.
And don't you know the Mist Forest is dangerous? How can you be so careless?
Ling Yi seemed to want to say something to vent, but he couldn't speak right now because he was really holding it in.
Ling Yi clapped his hands, and a set of casual clothes appeared out of thin air. Ling Yi stretched out his hand and lifted his foot, and the clothes were automatically put on his body.
Then, Ling Yi smoothed his hair, snapped his the Snap, and set off.
Yuan Xiaolei giggled, ran to Ling Yi's side, and handed him Ling Yi backpack.
"I know you have a magical space, how can you bear to let a girl like me carry so much stuff?"
You're Martial Practitioner, the kind who can deliver a punch that weighs twenty tons, what are you doing acting in this?
However, Ling Yi still threw her backpack into his Personal Space.
The other girls followed suit and handed their backpacks to Ling Yi for safekeeping.
Outside the manor, a minivan was already parked. It was prepared by Liu Chengcheng; it was unclear whether she had bought it or rented it.
After all, it's quite a distance from the manor to the city gate, so having a car would definitely make things more convenient.
Half an hour later, the five of them arrived at the city gate.
After parking the car in a parking lot, the five of them registered with the city guards before leaving the city gate and stepping out of Hao City.
Near the city gate, there were still potholes of Xiaoxiao, and the ground still smelled of burning, indicating that the beast tide had just passed not long ago.
The girls couldn't help but glance at Ling Yi. They all knew that the person who helped Hao City Knockback the beast tide was this seemingly lazy young man.
Of the group of women, none of them except Yuan Xiaolei had ever experienced a beast tide, but they all knew how terrifying it was.
"Did millions of Demonic Beast really attack the city back then?" Wang Xiaoyun asked.
"There are less than two million first and second-tier Demonic Beast. Hao City used weapons of mass destruction and fought for a day and a night before finally holding out," Yuan Xiaolei explained.
"The most troublesome are those three hundred Third Tier Demonic Beast and Wu Bai Third Tier flying Demonic Beast. If it weren't for Ling Yi, Hao City would be finished."
" Ling Yi single-handedly withstood so many Third Tier Demonic Beast! Amazing!" Liu Chengcheng exclaimed.
Yuan Xiaolei vividly described the events of that day, especially when she talked about Ling Yi's feat of killing Jian Yi Third Tier Demonic Beast with a single sword strike and suppressing Wu Bai flying Demonic Beast with the Tai Chi Diagram. She was quite excited and gesticulated wildly.
The group chatted and laughed as they entered the Mist Forest.
At that moment, Ling Yi and Yuan Xiaolei both stopped.
The two women exchanged a glance. Ling Yi gestured for silence, and Yuan Xiaolei indicated she understood. She then whispered to the other women, "We have guests. Get ready."
Ling Yi had long anticipated this day would come.
Since Ling Yi has attracted the attention of the Big Shot of the Great Qian Empire, he will naturally also be noticed by the powerful figures of other countries.
The Great Qian Empire was powerful enough that other countries had no choice but to unite.
One Emperor Chi is enough. If another powerful figure comparable to Emperor Chi were to emerge, would other countries have any chance of survival?
If it were Ling Yi, he would probably think the same way as these people, trying to nip himself in the bud before he could grow up.
From now on, I'm afraid there won't be any peace and quiet!
