East Pearl Tower.
In the first private room on the third floor, fluctuations from the Inner Scenery emerged, faintly echoing the Taiyin Intent Soul.
Friends who often use Communal Moon would know that this is for remote chatting.
“Li Mo, what are you doing?”
After entering the Inner Scenery, Communal Moon's effectiveness became even stronger, as if the person speaking was right beside your ear.
“I’m designing packaging for an Ice Cube.”
Li Mo looked at the design drawing in front of him and lightly coughed.
“An Ice Cube still needs packaging? Are you planning to sell Ice Cubes?”
“No, not really. I’m eating it myself. An Ice Cube with packaging has a sense of ritual. I suggest you try it too once I make it.”
“Okay... I’ll try it.”
Li Mo looked at the Southern Border-style packaging he had just drawn, and the image of an Ice Cube that could be eaten immediately without opening the package unconsciously appeared in his mind.
Strange, he hadn't eaten any Yang-attributed Heaven And Earth Treasure recently, so why was the hammer treasure always acting up?
“?”
At this moment, a questioning thought came from Communal Moon.
“!”
Oh no, when the Taiyin Intent Soul connects, one unconsciously senses the other person's emotions.
Xiao Li could feel that the Ice Cube didn't say it, but she was actually missing him terribly.
That Ice Cube might also feel that he was also missing her terribly right «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» now, and his mind was full of lewd thoughts.
“Ice Cube, are you used to staying at home with your maternal grandparents?”
Xiao Li tactically changed the subject.
“I’m very happy; they even showed me the family tree.”
“??”
Two question marks popped up above Xiao Li's head.
One question mark was because, even if the maternal grandparents came, who would carry that kind of thing with them?
The second question mark was because he wondered why the Ice Cube didn't react.
Despite Han Xianzi being as aloof as a Fairy, she was actually very afraid of anything mushy. When she first started drinking tea from his cup, she was so nervous her fingers curled up and she couldn't even straighten them.
Li Mo always thought that if she ever knew what he was thinking, she would definitely tremble and wouldn't even dare to call him 'brother' anymore.
Why was she not reacting much now?
What Li Mo didn't know was that the Ice Cube had already seen the 'new world' in his mind through the System. freewёbnoνel.com
Moreover, Communal Moon could not convey specific thoughts, only emotions.
What's so strange about an immature person having lewd thoughts?
“What kind of clothes did you design?”
“...”
Li Mo was silent for a moment. A Genius is indeed a Genius; her mind works fast:
“Last time when you took a bath, you weren’t wearing any inner garments, right? So I thought of custom-making a few for you.”
“Dark Cloud Gauze or Pearl White Lotus Silk?”
“Neither.”
Li Mo looked wary. What was going on? The Ice Cube seemed to have gotten smarter recently, guessing so accurately.
“Then what is it?”
“I’ll tell you if you wear it.”
“Actually, I’m not really short on clothes...”
...Half an hour later, the sun was high in the sky, filling the room with brilliance.
The newly purchased house in Ziyang Prefecture was very large and quiet, silent early in the morning.
Ying Bing woke up in her room in Ziyang Prefecture. She pursed her red lips, twisted open the boy with a large head's head, and took out the few unwashed clothes from inside.
While her family members were still asleep, she went to the water cylinder.
Gu Xueqin had just gotten up early, carrying a basket of clothes to wash, when she saw a busy figure already by the water cylinder.
“Little Bing’er, I also need to wash clothes. Give them to me.”
“Aunt Gu, I can do it myself, and I’m almost done.”
Ying Bing's expression was serene and gentle.
But upon closer inspection, one could see that her eyelashes trembled slightly, her earlobes were red, and she dared not give them over at all.
Han Xianzi’s saliva had dripped onto the clothes, and she didn’t even dare to let Li Mo know about it.
“Little Bing’er, don’t be too virtuous... Be careful that Brat gets carried away.”
Gu Xueqin sighed with emotion.
“He... he is a bit...”
Ying Bing didn't even need to guess to know what kind of inner garments Li Mo was talking about.
If she were to wear that kind of thing and bathe together...
The System's ranking hadn't arrived yet, but the punishment might have to be completed early... Meanwhile, on the other side.
The sky gradually brightened, and the large pearl on the rooftop was the first to emit the morning light.
Today was the day East Pearl held its auction, which also meant that the Qizhen Sea Market was reaching its climax. The southwest corner of the East Pearl Tower was chained, pulled open by a sea beast, like an opened music box, revealing its heart to the sea.
The first floor was for displaying auction items for people to view, while the second and third floors were private rooms.
Qiao Ziyu walked in with a team of people, his face full of exhaustion.
“Young Lord, all the dogs in the market now think we are the real dogs; we really can’t find it.”
“Enough, don’t mention this again!”
Qiao Ziyu clenched his fists, his face dark as he snorted coldly.
Even a pig's head should have noticed something was wrong.
How could the tongwei relic bone, so extraordinary, be carried away by a dog and then be untraceable? Clearly, there was a problem from the start!
But he didn't dare to say it explicitly.
He spent two hundred xuan crystal to buy a pig's trotters, and it was even gnawed on by someone! The xuan crystal was secondary; the main thing was that he couldn't afford to lose face! freёwebnovel.com
“From the moment I started 'chopping a knife', I should have noticed something was wrong. I was careless!”
As Qiao Ziyu was fuming with anger, thinking.
Suddenly, three people approached from the opposite side.
The one in the lead was handsome and sunny, tall, with an imposing aura subtly flowing between his Inner Scenery.
The moment he saw him, Qiao Ziyu's head felt like it exploded, as if he had found the answer.
It was him!
From the moment he started 'chopping a knife', he had fallen into the other party's scheme!
“Li Shaoxia, what a skillful move.” Qiao Ziyu suppressed his anger, revealing a slightly sinister smile.
“Hmm? Have we met?”
Li Mo looked bewildered, then seemed to recognize the other person: “So it’s the Young Sect Master of Lingxi Gate. Have you found anything you fancy at the auction?”
Such as something worth two hundred xuan crystal... “...”
Qiao Ziyu almost couldn't maintain his composure, his lips twitching: “Heh heh... Things that I fancy, I usually acquire. If by chance, Li Shaoxia and I happen to like the same item, please do not take offense.”
“It's an auction, after all. If everyone didn't like it, it wouldn't be put up for sale. It's just a matter of individual ability.”
Li Mo smiled, seemingly unconcerned by the barbed words.
“Cough cough...”
The attendant Elder narrowed his eyes and coughed: “Rules are rules, but our Sects are in the same region, so we can barely be considered neighbors. Let’s not hurt each other’s feelings.”
Elder Qian nodded: “Well said. Haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Please, please, please.”
Old Qian was very polite, even inviting the other party to eat.
“No need, please, you first.”
The two exchanged pleasantries like this, and in the end, the group from Lingxi Gate entered the venue first.
Looking back, Qiao Ziyu said bitterly:
“He’s going too far! His fake item even managed to fool the East Pearl Tower.”
Unfortunately, he had no evidence, so going to the East Pearl Tower's representative would be useless.
Munch munch munch... “Stop eating, you bastard!”
Qiao Ziyu turned around and saw the attendant Elder still gnawing on something.
