Free Web NovelLate at night, the gurgling sound of water brought liveliness to the quiet night.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and its light poured down through the hollow skylight of the Mist Flower Undying Spring.
The moonlight was so beautiful; it was only natural for a gentleman to be deeply moved.
So, Xiao Li, the gentleman, sat in the spring water, one hand covering his nose, looking at the moon in the sky with a very serious expression.
Even though Ice Cube was right beside him, he dared not look back.
He was afraid he would explode if he looked at her one more time.
Ying Bing did not enter the pool; instead, she sat on the edge, her eyes cast down, staring at her snow-white, delicate jade feet, occasionally splashing the water.
Even now, she was only half a head shorter than Xiao Li. She was originally of the clear, cold, and enchanting type, so beautiful that people felt a sense of pressure and tension when meeting her gaze.
But when her small foot inadvertently touched someone's shoulder while splashing water, it was her own eyelashes that trembled slightly, and she became incredibly nervous.
She didn't know what she was thinking when she changed clothes or when she spoke at the entrance of the hot spring.
Perhaps it was the unwillingness to admit defeat in her bones, a life lived never being inferior to anyone?
Or perhaps she always felt that having lived two lives, she was the older sister, so how could she let a childish ghost bully her... Just now, she made a slight move and indeed made Xiao Li's nose bleed, scoring a point.
But what to do now?
That's why the Mist Flower Undying Spring was so quiet.
Xiao Li, the gentleman, dared not look back, afraid of seeing (·people·).
Damn it, Ice Cube had a slender waist and long legs; he used to think it was (·)(·).
Phoenix Heavenly Empress dared not enter the water, fearing that hammer treasure might accidentally use Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, causing many more '=' to appear in the middle of B=D.
"Looking down at the bright moon, how true it is."
Li Mo looked up at the sky and murmured to himself.
"?"
Ying Bing, of course, did not understand this poem, which even elementary school students knew. She paused, her beautiful eyes looking at the night sky:
"Shouldn't it be 'raising my head to look at the bright moon'?"
"I'll raise my head and think of my hometown instead."
Li Mo's shoulder felt a little itchy from the splashes of water. He reached out to scratch it but happened to grasp something smooth and soft, an area where he specialized.
"If you want to go back to your old home in Qinghe, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Ying Bing looked down at her feet and moved them slightly, but unfortunately, Xiao Li's shoulder couldn't be dug out into a four-room, one-living apartment.
"Not that hometown."
Li Mo shook his head, perhaps trying to find something to say:
"When I dream, I always see a place vastly different from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. There are many tall buildings, and the bright lights can overshadow the stars."
"There's only one sun during the day, but the moon at night seems to be similar."
"People there don't practice Martial Arts, but that land has no hunger or cold, no wars."
"Many people laugh there, wander there, die there..."
As Xiao Li spoke, he coughed lightly, almost starting to sing again.
"Even us childish ghosts can be sentimental and feel lonely sometimes."
Ying Bing entered the water, hugging her legs, and sat beside him, tilting her head to observe him, a smile twinkling in her beautiful eyes.
"I don't feel lonely."
Li Mo shook his head; he was just a little nostalgic for a place he couldn't return to, having lived a lifetime there after all.
"Now?"
He felt Ice Cube shift her body, moving closer and pressing against his side. The pool water could no longer impede the sensation of her body temperature.
His knee also suddenly felt cool.
Li Mo froze, his mind unable to think, but his heart had already started to pound fiercely.
The cool and aloof girl looked gentle, using your knee as a desk, leaning there and softly saying she would confiscate your loneliness.
Who wouldn't be confused by that?
"Now, I'm looking down at the bright moon."
Li Mo said with a serious expression, trying to take a bite of ice while Ice Cube wasn't paying attention.
But as soon as he got close, his nose was pinched.
"You haven't learned those Martial Arts that condense stars for the Mystic Core Sutra during the day yet. Now is the time to strike while the iron is # Nоvеlight # hot."
Can the bad Ice Cube and Ice Cube teacher appear together?
"Alright."
Xiao Li, of course, couldn't hear.
Ice Cube teacher had not foreseen this; the System prompt sounded in her ear again, a countdown for the ranking.
If she didn't stop him from looking down at the bright moon, wouldn't that be... one defeat, two punishments?
How could that be allowed?
"You've returned the Taiyin to me, but my Divine Intention can still enter your Inner Scenery. I've found that in the Mystic Core Sutra, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-five stars operating. You no longer need to worry about the Sun and Taiyin, but among the twenty-eight constellations, there are only two. To reach Outer Scenery, at least the Three Enclosures must be arranged."
"At that time, no matter what kind of Divine Intention, as long as it enters your Inner Scenery, once enveloped, it cannot escape the star blockade." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Today, let's start with the Five Planets..."
Ying Bing said seriously and earnestly.
In fact, everything she said was about Li Mo's own situation, which he, of course, had known for a long time.
But when he listened to Ice Cube's lecture on the Dao, there was always a captivating and infinitely profound feeling.
Although he often had two heads, one large, Xiao Li could also have two heads, both large. His Martial Arts Comprehension was not much, but fortunately, he didn't need to start from scratch.
The Mystic Core was already in his Inner Scenery; the standard answer was right in front of him.
What he needed to do was follow Han Xianzi teacher through the process.
Jingtai Emperor did not explicitly say so.
But Li Mo could feel that this Great Yu Emperor's grasp of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the power in his hands was far from absolute.
He had reforged the Celestial Human Divine Sword, and the other party not only had no objection but also tacitly allowed the God Sword to be taken away, not mentioning the matter at all in the imperial edict.
It was undeniable that Jingtai's goodwill might have been filled with admiration.
But a monarch's decision could not be based solely on admiration.
Ice Cube had a red destiny. Unless he left her, he would inevitably be caught up in the magnificent waves of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Before returning to Dijin, he hoped that he could at least fully master the power he possessed.
"I hope I don't encounter any trouble when I return to Dijin, at least not when I receive the imperial edict and express my gratitude..."
Li Mo thought to himself, silently mobilizing his Martial Arts Comprehension.
Fifteen years of Martial Arts Comprehension flowed away.
One of the Five Planets in the Inner Scenery's starry sky flickered and danced, its brilliant light swirling.
Xiao Li held her snow-white foot, his enthusiasm for learning very high, pouring in his already limited reserves (Martial Arts Comprehension).
Not long after.
Ying Bing had been talking for a long time. She picked up a grape from the floating tray and put it in her mouth, realizing that the System countdown had, unknowingly, become very close.
One minute.
She secretly glanced at Li Mo, seeing him still immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and thought to herself that he was quite serious when doing proper things... She zoned out for a while, then suddenly realized that the comparison time had already reached zero.
【Congratulations, Host, you're second again.】
"?"
Now the System didn't even show her the rankings, directly announcing the results, was that it?
"I must know how I lost..." Ying Bing asked in her mind.
"The Five Planets are complete, and my Martial Arts Comprehension is almost spent..."
Li Mo was just about to tell Ice Cube about his learning achievements, a slight smile on his lips.
Then he suddenly heard a splash of water. It was Ice Cube standing up, and the spring water dripped and splashed along the curves of her body.
"?!"
