“Saintess, did you succeed?”
The madam asked cautiously from the side.
“No.”
Since returning, Yin Mianmian had been standing on the deck of the pleasure boat, gazing into the distance, silent, as if she had lost her soul.
“You failed even after making a move?”
The madam’s face showed surprise. One should know that even those prominent figures ranked above the Saintess would be in mortal danger if Yin Mianmian targeted them.
Li Mo was merely nineteenth on the Qianlong Ranking.
“Were his Senior Brother and Master guarding him?”
“No.”
Yin Mianmian looked into the distance, softly denying it.
“Then... why?” The madam was bewildered.
Yin Mianmian’s mood was already chaotic, and her questions annoyed her.
“His strength is greater than what is recorded on the Qianlong Ranking.”
“Stronger than the Qianlong Ranking?”
The madam’s heavily made-up face froze.
He was only sixteen.
She had originally thought his nineteenth ranking might be inflated, but she hadn’t expected it to be an underestimation?
Suddenly, she heard Yin Mianmian ask again:
“Do you know what kind of Divine Intention, once its Yi Soul is released, can make people’s anger and resentment dissipate, preventing them from feeling any negative emotions towards that person?”
“This... is it a Buddhist Divine Intention?”
“Does he look like one of those bald donkeys from the Zen sect?”
“Hiss...”
The madam fell into deep thought, then showed a difficult expression.
“Sometimes, the courtesans on the pleasure boat fall in love with customers...”
“Speak plainly.”
Yin Mianmian frowned.
“Then... perhaps, it might be... love?”
“Love my foot!”
Upon hearing this, Yin Mianmian nearly lost her composure.
The madam trembled.
“Go to Listen to the Wind Pavilion and withdraw Li Mo’s bounty.”
“Yes.”
The madam retreated as if granted a great pardon.
Yin Mianmian remained there alone, falling back into thought.
How much of what Li Mo said was true?
.......
On the other side.
Outside the window, the night was deep, and inside the private room, the lamps glowed brightly.
Ying Bing clasped her jade legs together and gently let out a breath.
Three times.
This was already... the third time she had been suppressed by Li Mo.
But her heart was now in a turmoil, not because of another defeat.
Although she later became a figure at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, inspiring fear and making it impossible for others to even dare to look at her, her strength always surpassed her peers, eventually leaving her with no worthy opponents.
However, her journey had not been smooth sailing.
There were also failures that brought her close to death.
Giving up meant losing for a lifetime.
This punishment was incomparable to the Celestial Illusion, the Law Body Tribulation, or even the Path to Immortality.
Her current state of mind was more at Perfection than ever before; she only needed to let nature take its course...
She slightly circulated her Yi Soul.
Ying Bing opened her Phoenix eyes, lightly pursed her lips, and looked at Li Mo.
The clear ripples in the young girl’s eyes carried a hint of solemnity.
“??”
The bewildered Li Mo became even more bewildered.
She used her Yi Soul?
Ice Cube suddenly looked so serious. freёwebnoѵel.com
Xiao Li suddenly remembered being taken to a foot massage by his good brother in his previous life. Before leaving, he had specifically washed his own feet, only to be served by an auntie with a cigarette in her mouth.
Her grip was incredibly strong, attacking his various reflex zones fiercely.
Under his friend’s teasing gaze, Xiao Li, who had always been strong-willed, didn’t utter a sound, even rebelliously saying, ‘Is that all? Auntie, haven’t you eaten?’
It was well known.
Ice Cube had always been very competitive.
She never said no.
So Xiao Li sat back down, meeting her gaze without evasion.
“It seems it’s time for me to get serious.”
“......Good.” Ying Bing nodded with a clear, cold expression.
“Then let’s change clothes.”
“?”
The next second.
Li Mo, as if performing magic, pulled out something she had never seen before, something similar to a bellyband, but much more revealing than a bellyband.
“You can’t do a Dragon without changing clothes~”
Xiao Li proudly curled his lips.
She must be retreating in the face of difficulty, right?
He didn’t believe it; could Ice Cube really...
“You first... first go out.” Ying Bing’s soft voice sounded in his ear.
“Hmm, I knew it...”
Li Mo shook his head and chuckled, just as he stood up.
But then he heard:
“Leave the clothes.”
“!”

The door closed, and the room darkened.
【Current petting area: 8%】
A line of System prompts appeared, quite thoughtful, as if fearing the host wouldn’t complete the punishment.
This must have been calculated when he was rubbing his own feet just now.
How could he like playing with that thing? It’s so strange...
And this piece of clothing, while better than the one rewarded by the System, was only marginally better.
Where did he get it from?
And he always carried it with him....
He usually seemed so gentle, sunny, and like a humble gentleman.
Ying Bing’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally let out a faint sigh.
“A heart like still water, let nature take its course...”
Rustling sounds came from within the room.
Xiao Li was leaning against the door, a brush held between his fingers, taking a deep breath.
He really hadn’t expected Ice Cube to agree so readily.
Before she came out, she had that kind of look in her eyes...
“No, I need to stay sharp.”
“Li Shidi, what are you doing?”
The opposite room opened, and Tang Xiaobao saw the brush in Li Mo’s hand, looking puzzled.
“When I’m thinking about a difficult problem, I like to put something in my mouth.”
“Oh, I see.”
Tang Xiaobao didn’t quite understand.
But Li Shidi was such a Genius, he must have his reasons.
So he imitated him, took out a Medicinal Pill that wasn’t too hard, threaded it onto a small bamboo stick, and put it in his mouth.
So he also held a bamboo stick with a Medicinal Pill threaded on it, a profound expression on his delicate face.
“Li Shidi, what difficult problem have you encountered? Tell me, and I’ll help you think about it.”
“I’m thinking I might have a bloody disaster later.”
“That serious? I’ll go tell Master!”
Tang Xiaobao immediately became serious.
However, before he could run two steps, Li Mo turned his head back.
Li Mo said helplessly:
“It’s not a big problem. I just might have a bit of high blood pressure.”
“Then just take some medicine.” Tang Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief.
“Will it work?”
“How about Li Shidi, you lick me a couple of times and try?”
“......Xiao Bao Senior Brother, go play. I’ll think about it myself.”
“Alright.”
Tang Xiaobao walked away, sucking on his Medicinal Pill lollipop.
After a while.
Suddenly, a clear voice, carried by the wind, passed through the wooden door:
“You... can come in now.”
“Mm.”
Li Mo slightly circulated his Yi Soul.
But it was strange.
The Divine Intention in his Yi Soul had always been exceptionally effective, but today it seemed to be only mediocre.
Xiao Li suddenly felt that even being in perilous situations in the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm hadn’t made him as nervous as he was now.
But if he got cold feet now...
He wouldn’t be able to hold his head high in front of Ice Cube ever again!
She had now learned how to finish off opponents.
Click.
The door to a new world opened slightly.
Closing the door and stepping inside, the moment his gaze fell upon Ice Cube, Xiao Li suddenly felt that his psychological expectations had been too low.
It wasn’t because of the swimsuit; although the name of this swimsuit was a bit strange, the style was relatively normal.
What he had underestimated was Ice Cube herself.
