Chapter 175
Li Mo focused his gaze.
A performer named Jiang Chen stood on stage, a woman whose beauty was commendable. Her makeup was a bit extravagant, but her portrayal of the character was unmistakable.
The setting was a courtyard.
Li Mo didn’t even need to watch the performance to know which scene it was.
Jiang Chen faced a broken engagement, while Liu Wuyan fiercely defended her husband?
“Jiang Chen, my daughter has now joined the Xueyue Sect, honored as an inner disciple, while you have wasted years and are still just a servant. Today, I have come to make my intentions clear.”
The antagonist was a seasoned actor.
Li Mo listened to the familiar plot, and surprisingly, it didn’t feel awkward when he recited it.
(The Jiang family was in an uproar.)
At that moment, Jiang Chen stood resolutely:
“Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; don’t underestimate the youth in poverty!”
“Good!”
“Such a performance deserves reward!”
Applause erupted from the audience. In a world where broken engagements were unheard of, this scene was truly exhilarating.
Li Mo silently covered his face.
As the plot continued, Liu Wuyan made her entrance, and everyone in the audience knelt down.
Only Jiang Chen remained standing.
Liu Wuyan approached him and called out, “Husband.”
The entire audience froze!
Then—
Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a smirk.
Li Mo: “.....”
He remembered he hadn’t designed this smirk at all.
This isn’t improvisation; don’t go off-script!
Little Li felt like he was being publicly executed. Thankfully, his shoes were of good quality; otherwise, they would have been ruined.
He glanced sideways.
Jiang Chulong was utterly engrossed, as if she could listen to this a thousand times without tiring.
What about Bing Tuozi?
“Hu... Husband?”
Ying Bingqing’s serene eyes paused for a moment, then she let out a soft sigh.
After all, it was just a play.
If the character were truly depicted as she was, how could she possibly utter those words? How could she say those two characters?
She found it absurd and didn’t want to watch any longer.
But the drama continued, each line resonating in her ears.
This play omitted much content, focusing only on the highlights.
For instance, the two shared romantic moments, slept side by side, and even “met openly” to help Jiang Chen practice.
Mei Huaxuan’s professionalism was impeccable.
The immersive plot, combined with music and lighting, created an experience that felt almost real, stirring the imagination.
“Let’s practice…”
Ying Bing turned her head to look at the moon.
Yet her gaze became lost again.
The seductive music kept intruding into her ears.
The plot not only unfolded in her mind, but the male and female leads always resembled her and Li Mo.
It felt as if that was what was happening to her...
And this feeling...
Ying Bing didn’t know why she was looking at Li Mo at that moment.
But she saw the young man’s handsome face slightly flushed, sitting there like a dazed goose.
She didn’t seem to dislike it?
“Good! Liu Wuyan performed excellently!”
Just then, a deep voice came from next door, followed by the sound of two gold beads falling.
The audience gasped; who was this wealthy patron?
Li Mo didn’t pay much attention, but Jiang Chulong curiously asked, “Li Ge, what’s this for?”
“Just enjoying the show and burning some extra cash, so I decided to give a reward,” Li Mo replied with a smile, thinking the play was finally over.
“Oh... I see…”
Jiang Chulong rummaged through her pocket but only found a few copper coins, feeling shy about taking them out.
“Here.”
Her arm felt heavier, and she found half a gold brick in her hand.
Little Jiang looked up in confusion.
Li Mo sighed, “It’s the smallest piece of gold I have.”
“Thank you, Li Ge.”
Jiang Chulong didn’t really grasp how much the gold was worth, so she imitated the patron next door and tossed it into the air.
And then...
Bang!!
The stage was struck hard.
The actors thought it was their performance that displeased the audience until they realized what had been thrown.
The crowd erupted in chaos.
Who comes to watch a play and throws a gold brick as a reward? Aren’t they afraid of crushing the actors?
The person next door also turned to look, seemingly taken aback:
“Jiang... Li Mo?”
“Zhong Zhenyue?”
Li Mo recognized the person across from him, a young lord in a dragon robe, holding a spear, who had never lost in the arena—Zhong Xiaohou.
They weren’t familiar with each other.
After exchanging polite pleasantries, a figure approached—one of the actors from the stage, who had wiped off her makeup and stood beside Zhong Zhenyue.
She appeared delicate and charming, yet maintained a sense of propriety.
Though her looks were merely above average, her every smile and frown exuded allure.
“Wait…”
Li Mo remained composed and activated his Tianming Divine Eye.
[Name: Yin Mianmian]
[Age: 23]
[Constitution: Tianluo Mocha Body.]
[Realm: Eight Apertures of Divine Observation.]
[Destiny: Purple]
[Evaluation: Saintess of the Drizzle Tower, ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon List, has killed several prodigies from the list, regarded as a furnace by the Drizzle Tower Master without her knowledge. Her interests include watching men fight for their lives, like wild beasts in a frenzy.]
[Recent Encounter: Seducing Zhong Zhenyue, hoping to use his identity to infiltrate Hengyun Sword City, currently feeling playful and wanting to see the host fight Zhong Zhenyue.]
Hmm?
Li Mo’s heart tightened.
As he grasped the information about her, his vision suddenly blurred.
The sound of silk and bamboo music grew closer, suddenly poignant, rising from his heart.
He saw a woman with an enchanting figure, dressed in sheer fabric, walking toward him with a haunting grace, as if she were dancing.
In such a moment, anyone would feel their blood rush.
However.
A sword light, condensed from moonlight, cold as jade and radiant as a deity, slashed down in an instant.
It was Bing Tuozi.
No.
More accurately, it was the Bing Tuozi that Li Mo had been observing.
The imprint of the Mona Ice Slush, etched in his soul, shattered the illusion before him.
And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Zhong Zhenyue wasn’t so fortunate.
Caught off guard by the woman beside him, his eyes were dazed, completely entranced.
“You’re so interesting…”
Seeing Li Mo regain his clarity in an instant, the woman’s eyes sparkled with surprise, but more so with excitement.
Every smile and frown of hers seemed to tug at the heartstrings.
She floated closer, as if wanting to lean against Li Mo, to inhale the scent from his neck.
“Old woman.”
Li Mo suddenly spoke.
“?”
Yin Mianmian’s seductive demeanor faltered, her expression shifting to one of indignation.
The rules of the Fighting King are well-known.
In a flash.
Swish—
A spring breeze surged, blocking her retreat.
Divine punishment descended, like a heavenly decree.
The Tian Shuang Sword decisively slashed down, intent on cleaving Yin Mianmian in two!
...
P.S.: Here it comes, here it comes! Little flop is going to sleep now. If there are typos, please kick me, and I’ll fix them tomorrow.
Please send some power my way, hehe, muah!

Chapter 183: Bro, I’m about to pee myself!
This sword truly “shattered” Yin Mianmian.
Her figure, like a dream or an illusion, dissipated before the sword light of divine punishment could reach her, leaving only a few tattered silk ribbons behind.
At that moment, the spring breeze of sword intent suddenly halted, and she slipped through it.
On the opposite eaves.
When she reformed her figure, she had already changed her appearance.
The woman’s features were exquisitely enchanting, her hair dancing in the wind, reflecting a faint purple hue under the moonlight, dressed like the celestial maiden Li Mo had seen earlier.
Her gaze flicked to Ying Bing before shifting to Li Mo, the anger in her eyes dissipating, replaced by intrigue.
“Liu Wuyan fiercely defends her husband?”
“Hehe, if I can withstand three of your swords, how about I take your husband for myself?”
Her voice was as melodious as flowing water, effortlessly captivating.
Ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon List, Eight Apertures of Divine Observation!
Every prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List possessed the strength to fight beyond their realm.
Bing Tuozi had just entered the realm of Divine Observation; it wasn’t certain...
Li Mo glanced at Ying Bing’s flawless profile but ultimately chose not to speak.
Why would she fear a challenge?
Whoosh—
The aura of the Phoenix surged, and the girl stepped onto the rooftop.
The moonlight washed over her, illuminating her skin like jade and porcelain.
A divine pattern glimmered faintly on her forehead, and the hem of her blue skirt fluttered, adding a touch of earthly vibrancy to her ethereal beauty.
Under the moonlight.
Two stunning beauties, each with their own allure, faced off, their presence equally matched for a moment.
