Xiao Li's face was slightly distorted by two soft, boneless slender hands.
Ice Cube didn't giggle, but she said nothing.
She just stared at you with her beautiful eyes, making your heart pound.
It was a bit hard to bear.
Li Mo had many reasons for staying, but Ice Cube's reasons for staying were not so complicated; it was just for one person.
So, Xiao Li simply couldn't bear it.
He gently took her fair, small hand, which was a bit cold, so Li Mo warmed it for her.
While rubbing her hand, Li Mo said, "I have a technique that can traverse thousands of miles, and Brother Murong gave me a set of prayer beads that can instantly return me to the Hanging Temple..."
"I always have a retreat, but though you are fast, you may not be able to escape when you wish to."
"Moreover, the soldiers in the city now regard me as their reliance; if even I leave, what courage will they have to fight to the death?"
"Han Zhen will not give up easily."
"Next time we face him, we won't have the army backing us."
Gradually, the small hand in his palm had become warm.
It was strange.
How could this small hand, which wielded a sword to slay demons and monsters, be so soft and fragrant when held in his palm?
In the end, Li Mo himself was unwilling to let go.
Ying Bing looked down at the young man, seeing a determination and resolve different from his usual cheerful, sometimes childish, face.
If Han Zhen didn't die, the crisis in Qingmu City would be difficult to resolve.
If Han Zhen didn't die, someone would always covet the Nine Souls of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang, leading to endless troubles.
But Han Zhen was not alone; he had the Demon Summoning Sect and the Great Shang Remnants behind him.
"He's just the Great Shang National Teacher, that's all."
"I want to try to finish it in one battle."
Li Mo didn't show his usual sunny smile.
Instead, he imitated Ice Cube's expression, looking cool and composed.
Ice Cube's face - Xiao Li version.
"Imitating me?"
Ying Bing irritably pulled her hand back and began to rub his face again, kneading his cool expression into various shapes, as skillfully as if she were molding a boy with a large head.
But as she watched Xiao Li's handsome, cheerful face being kneaded into various comical shapes, she couldn't help but smile, and the icy coldness on her jade face melted away.
"Then I can even less afford to leave."
"Hmm?"
"The soldiers rely on you, so how can you have no one to rely on?"
Ying Bing said, pulling his face.
"Ice Cube..."
She reined in her smile, and Li Mo saw the seriousness in her expression, his heart skipping a beat. ƒrēewebnovel.com
This sentence, translated, wouldn't it mean...?
Wouldn't it be better if I became your reliance?
And she said it so seriously.
Speaking of which, why did it feel so exceptionally domineering when Ice Cube said such words in her cool and aloof manner?
"Let's go, let's head back first."
Li Mo thought about it and agreed. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Since he had decided to go all out, from now on, he needed to adjust his state to its Peak.
He indeed needed a quiet place.
He had been too busy since comprehending the Somersault Cloud.
He hadn't yet had time to continue deducing the "Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram."
........
Central Army Tent.
Qu Sheng had finally finished deploying tomorrow's battle plan with the generals.
The generals all went to attend to their military duties, and he sat alone in his seat, wiping a long spear that hadn't been used for many years.
As an Outer Scenery martial artist, he hadn't personally taken action for a long time.
Having spent his life in battle, he had accumulated many incurable chronic injuries and hidden wounds; moreover, as the commander, he couldn't charge into battle with the soldiers.
Unless absolutely necessary.
Wiping the spearhead, he seemed to think of something and asked his personal guard, "Where are Li Shaoxia and Han Xianzi?"
"Commander, the two have already left the military camp."
"Hmm, good that they left, good that they left..."
Qu Sheng murmured to himself, seemingly relieved.
He lowered his head, watching his old companion being wiped bright as new, reflecting a pair of tired eyes in the candlelight.
Once upon a time, these eyes were also full of vigor?
Picking up the long spear again, he seemed to be looking at his younger self in a trance, lost in thought for a moment.
........
Jiawei Restaurant, still the same private room.
Now, every household on the street had closed its doors, the streets were empty, and even the sugar painting stall was gone; the restaurant owner, who had lost an arm, had also become a militiaman, helping to transport supplies.
The private room was quiet.
The light of the jade phoenix god was especially divine and bright tonight.
It could be felt.
Ice Cube was about to take another step on the path of the Hundred Birds Phoenix Form.
Li Mo watched her for a moment before taking out the "Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram."
Finally, he could continue to deduce this ultimate form.
Perhaps saying it was an ultimate form wasn't accurate.
The Divine Ability imprinted on his Yi Soul from this diagram was something impossible to obtain by observing any other Divine Intention; it merely preserved those Divine Abilities in the manner of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands God-Observing Picture.
Even the ultimate forms were like this.
What if it was the Great Dao Divine Form?
Li Mo's eyes shone with determined light as he took out the Liujin Creation Seal.
This small seal, containing infinite mysteries and truly a creation, slowly pressed onto the diagram.
Buzz--
The moment the Creation Seal was pressed down.
The Stone Monkey Divine Mark on Li Mo's Yi Soul emitted a resonant, bell-like hum that only he could hear, seeming to establish a connection with the rapidly evolving object within the diagram.
It seemed very 'excited'?
Just like the excitement in Li Mo's heart now.
The tadpole-like patterns seemed like golden flames, incinerating the "Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram" into wisps of faint golden light, which converged onto Li Mo's Yi Soul, within that Divine Mark.
In his eyes.
A fiery, reddish-gold color was spreading.
"Hmm?"
Ying Bing gently opened her eyes and looked at the young man who was facing away from her.
She saw him still sitting there properly, as if clearing his mind.
Yet, she felt...
He had changed somewhat?
Ying Bing could only vaguely sense it; she ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) truly couldn't see the scene in Li Mo's eyes.
The Aura continuously gathered.
It made Li Mo feel as if his Yi Soul had undergone Soul Emergence, arriving in another realm.
He looked up.
He saw a depiction of a Heavenly Palace that was thousands of times more real, grand, and divine than the one in his Small World, standing above white clouds.
And those figures standing on the clouds were not particularly tall, yet their Aura was overwhelming.
The wind blew from the heavens.
It also brought a descending chill and the rustling sound of banners; the expressions of those figures could not be seen, but they were far, far stronger than any martial artist Li Mo had ever seen.
If compared to the pressure of a Disaster Beast attacking a city, it was like a firefly compared to a bright moon.
And the rain-like killing intent could not extinguish a single torch.
Those two points of gaze seemed to burn eternally, seemingly breaking through all illusions of reality; although this gaze was looking into the distance, it felt as if it had never left you.
The body, wrapped in golden chainmail, was somewhat slender; a phoenix-winged purple gold crown proudly sat on his head; the iron staff in his hand had two golden hoops sandwiching dark iron, and a line of engraved text was carved near the hoops.
Li Mo was momentarily stunned.
