The rain didn't fall.
But the atmosphere was very awkward now.
Li Mo kept smiling, but then he realized something was off.
The feel was off.
He pinched it doubtfully; it was a bit high, a bit soft, with excellent elasticity....
Nine-tenths, no, ten-tenths, it was off!
Xiao Li's gaze stiffly moved downwards.
“!”
“This is actually a misunderstanding...” Li Mo's throat was dry.
Ying Bing's neck was crimson, her face expressionless, her eyes deep and misty.
You speak, I am listening.
“Cough...”
Li Mo felt a chill in his heart from her gaze.
He was now considering if he could still stay in Autumn Water Pavilion.
After this, he definitely wouldn't be able to close his eyes when sleeping at night; if he closed them while sleeping, they would remain open forever once he opened them again, wide as brass bells.
“It’s just... skill close to Dao, the Great Dao is forty-nine, one escapes.”
“That one just now, it... it was right there.”
Xiao Li didn't know if Ice Cube would believe this explanation.
He really was just too serious about practicing!
And he completely didn't expect that Ice Cube's flaw would actually be a vulnerable spot...
Ying Bing's beautiful face became even colder and harder.
The atmosphere grew quieter; she didn't say much.
Instead, she took out a boy with a large head from her embrace.
Hmm?
Li Mo was stunned; why did this doll look familiar?
Crack—
Ice Cube twisted off the doll's head, using no small amount of force.
Li Mo: “!”
Why did his neck suddenly feel cold, and he even had a phantom pain?
Could this be a voodoo doll made with his ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) hair or something?
But soon, he saw Ice Cube put the Frost Sky Sword away and instead take out a ruler.
“Fortunately, this is a sumaru object...”
“Again.”
“Hmm?”
Li Mo suddenly felt a drop of cold sweat on his back.
Then he saw Ying Bing say coldly:
“I admit defeat just now, I will give you the prize, think about what you want.”
“Now, again.”
“Again?!”
Before Xiao Li could agree, the ruler had already cut through the air.
Strange.
This time, Ying Bing's sword, that 'one', was gone, and it came with even more domineering power.
Even if he used Dugu Nine Swords, he couldn't find an opening; at least the Entry-Level wouldn't work.
So.
For the next hour.
Xiao Li's buttocks endured a relentless beating.
Slap—
Slap—
Slap—
“What's all that noise so early in the morning?”
Shang Wu poked her head out from upstairs.
Seeing the scene in the courtyard, her tired face instantly brightened.
She scratched the back of her head and yawned:
“What new game is this now...”
.....
Not long after, the sparring ended.
Ying Bing put away the ruler and returned to her room.
Li Mo wanted to sit on the reclining chair, but Ice Cube's ruler penetrated deep, leaving him unharmed, yet it hurt just to touch the area.
Sigh.
In terms of swordsmanship, the gap with the Daughter of Destiny was still a bit large.
Although he was already very strong among his peers.
Then what was going on before? How did she inexplicably have such an obvious vulnerable spot?
Did she go easy?
And...
He was just thinking, 'I just got Dugu Nine Swords Entry-Level, how can I take this?'
Then he got carried away.
“She even helped me scrub my back yesterday, she must be angry now...”
Li Mo had a bit of a headache.
Ice Cube was his top investor!
She was truly a patroness.
What to do?
“Ice Cube doesn't really like anything in particular.” Li Mo scratched his head, truly stumped.
At this moment.
The System prompt suddenly sounded:
【Congratulations to the Host, for successfully investing in 'Ying Bing', allowing her to discover the shortcomings in her sword moves.】
【Investment Feedback: One drop of Primordial Frost Dew】
【Primordial Frost Dew】: “The oldest Ice soul between Heaven and Earth, it takes ten thousand years to gather a single drop of liquid, which is Primordial Frost Dew, a Saint Grade item that enriches the Yi Soul and nourishes Divine Intention!”
.....
On the other side.
After Ying Bing closed the door.
She slowly walked to the cold marrow jade bed and sat down.
However, as soon as she touched it, a tingling sensation, like an electric current, flowed through a certain area that had been hit, surging into her heart.
Ying Bing, who had held her breath for a long time, finally couldn't hold it anymore.
“Hoo...”
She wanted to completely erase the scene from just now from her mind!
Yet the System prompt popped up again:
【Congratulations to the Host, reward claimed successfully!】
“Hmph...”
Ying Bing pursed her lips and forcefully waved her sleeve.
Only then did the annoying text dissipate.
After breathing for a long time, the strange feeling in her heart gradually lessened.
Every time she ranked below Li Mo.
Not only was there the loser's penalty, but there was also this inexplicable reward!
She absolutely could not, and should not, lose again!
In fact, Ying Bing still didn't know how Li Mo had ranked above her last time.
“How did he suddenly... hit it?”
“His swordsmanship suddenly became very strange.”
“Is it because he touched the threshold of skill close to Dao?”
Thoughts surged in Ying Bing's eyes.
She recalled for a moment, then shook her head.
No, that's not right.
He did touch the threshold, but it was only the threshold.
Later, when she was no longer affected by external factors, he had no chance to exploit openings with that strange swordsmanship.
She hadn't seen him practice with the hammer recently, so what was the reason?
The reason couldn't be figured out in a short time.
“All I can do is make myself stronger.”
Ying Bing took a deep breath.
After all, Divine Firmament Heavenly Heart Sword is a Supreme martial art, profound and extensive, representing the highest level of martial arts in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
She couldn't possibly master it by just scratching the surface; she needed to constantly verify and practice.
However, just now...
After sparring with Li Mo, she found some of her shortcomings.
“My first stance still has areas that aren't perfectly natural and fluid...”
As Ying Bing recalled.
When she summarized the recent experience.
She couldn't get past Li Mo's last sword, that sword that couldn't be called a sword move...
Those images and feelings she wanted to dispel could only be replayed in her mind repeatedly...
........
Over the next few days. frёeωebɳovel.com
Xiao Li's life became very simple.
Observing the Divine, refining the Yi Soul, practicing swordsmanship.
Since that day, Ice Cube's ruler hadn't gone a day without intimate contact with his buttocks.
Of course.
There were benefits too; his Dugu Nine Swords was progressing towards initial mastery.
This day.
Li Mo's consciousness sank into his Dantian.
Under the illumination of the Mystic Core, the small figure materialized by the Yi Soul had mysterious and complex divine patterns appearing and disappearing on its body.
These were all engraved by him little by little after observing the Divine.
In just a few days, the opened acupoints were completely stabilized!
This was also thanks to a drop of Primordial Frost Dew every day, as well as the Phoenix Heavenly Empress's Ascension to Dao Chart.
“Each person's Yi Soul can bear different forms and spirits.”
“Ice Cube observes more than one form.”
“I wonder what other divine forms I will gain in the future.”
Li Mo gently exhaled.
Not long after, the door of Autumn Water Pavilion was knocked.
It was a few unsurprising people who had come.
“Li Shidi, we're setting off for Yunzhou now.”
Ouyang, carrying a large bag of painting tools, greeted him.
