“Just a little bit, only that much,” Li Mo, who had been defeated more than ten times yesterday, woke up from his dream, the golden-red flames in his eyes slowly extinguishing.
To be honest, Xiao Li was actually a bit anxious.
Challenging the same boss and being killed more than ten times in a row, each time in a different way, would make any normal person see red.
What’s more, he had truly experienced life-and-death crises over a dozen times, but in the end, he still patiently calmed himself down. At that time, he just thought that when he woke up the next day, he couldn't let Ice Cube laugh at him...
The morning sun outside the window was just right, filling the room with brilliance.
“How many times did you lose last night?” a clear voice came from beside the tea table.
“I didn't win the first eleven times, and the last time, he didn't lose,” Li Mo said earnestly, his words implying both wins and losses.
“?”
“Alright, I didn't win even once. You can laugh at me.” Li Mo honestly gave up.
“Being able to lose more than ten times means you haven't been using your divine weapon and have been earnestly honing yourself. That’s very good,” Ying Bing said softly, and she rarely spoke so many words at once.
“!” Li Mo was startled and couldn't help but look up at Ying Bing.
She was bathed in the golden morning light, holding a cup and drinking morning tea, making one momentarily mistake her for a warm jade emitting smoke, a description usually reserved for objects, but seeming to fit her perfectly now.
Ice Cube was as bright as the outdoor sunlight, with a faint smile in her eyes, not teasing, but encouraging and approving.
Li Mo's mood instantly brightened.
“How did you lose the last time?”
“Ah, it was really just a little bit off. I had already knocked his Sun Halo Golden Wheel away, but when I got close, it suddenly turned into a ball of sunlight...” Li Mo recounted the battle process from last night, asking Ying Bing to help him review it.
While talking, the two of them packed their few belongings and went downstairs for their last breakfast in Southern Border. After today, they would be back in their hometown, Qinghe County.
Jiawei Restaurant was still lively in the morning. Southern Border was damp and cold, so the locals had a habit of drinking early, making it very bustling early in the day.
Li Mo led Ying Bing to their usual spot and ordered several local specialties for breakfast.
Their arrival caused the restaurant hall to quiet down for a moment.
But soon, it returned to normal.
They were indeed very famous and often discussed at dining tables, but discussion was one thing. It was like suddenly seeing a celebrity in real life—who would be so bold as to go up ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) and say hello?
Moreover, Han Xianzi sat there.
Today, she had changed back into her blue and white porcelain dress, which accentuated her slender and delicate figure. Her fair skin, in a trance, truly resembled white porcelain.
Her cheeks moving slightly, her silent, cold demeanor was enough to dispel any thought of strangers approaching her. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Only occasionally would she dip a steamed bun in chili and bring it to Li Mo’s mouth across from her...
“What should we bring back for Mom and Dad...?”
“It’s already prepared,” Ying Bing rubbed the boy with a large head’s head.
“!” Li Mo, whose CPU was already overheating from reviewing battle details, was momentarily stunned.
When did Ice Cube become so thoughtful?
It was hard to imagine her proactively going out alone to pick out gifts...
It seemed he wasn't the only one who had grown during their trip to Southern Border...
“Ice Cube, eat.” Li Mo picked up a chili-dipped steamed bun and brought it to Ying Bing’s lips.
After Ice Cube ate it, he smiled and said, “This steamed bun is a reward for growing up.”
“Childish...” Ying Bing looked up, giving him a slightly helpless glance.
After breakfast, he greeted the restaurant owners, a husband and wife, and then stepped out the door.
Just as he was wondering whether to say goodbye to the soldiers of Qingmu Camp and Brother Murong before leaving, there was a commotion behind him.
Of course.
Over a dozen or twenty people coming downstairs, wouldn't that create a commotion?
“Hall...”
“Although I am the esteemed Hall Master of Hundred Beasts, when out and about, you should call me Shopkeeper.”
“Understood, Hall Master. Is our food and lodging reimbursed for this business trip?”
“......”
To be fair, these Demon Summoning Cultists were well-disguised and not easily recognized under normal circumstances.
But the problem was...
Heavenly Venerable Immortal Li had dealt with people from the Demon Summoning Sect quite a lot.
Moreover, he also had the Tianming Divine Eye. Whenever he felt something was off, he would take a look.

Li Mo: “...”
They really were Demon Summoning Cultists, and even a Hall Master at that, perhaps even the superior of that unlucky Elder Yin Hua!
One might say it wasn't a coincidence, but they stumbled into Jiawei Restaurant by chance.
Or one might say it was a coincidence, but they were under the same roof and still managed to pass each other by.
“What’s wrong?” Ying Bing noticed his gaze.
“I’ll tell you later,” Li Mo whispered. After they left the street, he summoned his Somersault Cloud and ascended into the sky with Ying Bing.
The Somersault Cloud did not leave Qingmu City but stopped in mid-air.
“The Demon Summoning Sect has found us.”
“Were they those merchants just now?” Ying Bing’s Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze deepening.
She seemed to be thinking about how to deal with those few people...
Seeing that she was already contemplating their demise, Li Mo shook his head and said, “They are numerous, and all of them are in the Outer Scenery and Inner Scenery Realms. We can’t confront them head-on.”
“But we need to go home,” Ying Bing frowned.
They couldn't let these Demon Summoning Cultists follow them all the way back to Qinghe County; they had to deal with them before returning home.
“Lead these people to Qingmu Camp?”
“You didn’t see it, but that Hall Master of Hundred Beasts, when someone spat on his shoe just now, he endured it. He's that steady, a bit tricky... Luckily, I thought of a way in my spare time.”
“What?”
“Ice Cube, congratulations! From now on, you are the Saintess of Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect!” Li Mo said with a serious face, taking out the faceless glazed gauze and handing it to her.
After thinking for a moment, he also handed over the string of Buddhist beads that Brother Murong had given him.
“?”
“It’s time for our joint performance!”
That’s right!
This was the method that Xiao Li, the Golden Statue Award winner, had thought of!
With him, the Best Actor, making a move, the name of Heavenly Venerable Immortal had already resounded throughout Southern Border!
Now, with the Best Actor and Best Actress performing together, a mere Hundred Beast Hall of the Demon Summoning Sect was just a matter of a slight effort, wasn't it?
