Chapter 197
Uncertain if the outside world would make a move.
At that moment.
【Congratulations, host, you have successfully invested in 'Xu Yi' and helped him bandage his wounds.】
【Investment feedback: The black temptation of a cool summer day.】
Li Mo: "What the heck?"
【The black temptation of a cool summer day】:
“A bikini swimsuit, made of dark cloud gauze. Everyone who has worn it says it’s great, and the size is self-adjusting.”
“......”
This thing even has a ridiculous feedback.
Li Mo shook his head.
He climbed the stairs, preparing to find Bing Tuozi on the rooftop; today’s dual cultivation session was still incomplete.
“A bikini swimsuit, what’s the use of that?”
“There’s no beach here, who’s going to wear it?”
Just as Li Mo was lost in thought, he reached the rooftop.
On the rooftop, the night breeze blew in from the lakeside, causing the girl’s dress to cling to her body, outlining her graceful figure. The fluttering hem of her skirt made her look even more like an ice lotus, blooming and yet still in bud.
Before he could walk over.
A notification sound from the system rang in Li Mo's ears.
【Ding dong.】
【The black temptation of a cool summer day has found a suitable template.】
【Customizing size according to the template.】
Li Mo: “???”
He swore he wasn’t thinking anything inappropriate just now.
Any normal person would have some wild thoughts in this situation, right?
System, you’re ambushing me!
If the system could talk, it would definitely snicker:
“Ha, is this what you call an ambush?”
Because, in the next moment.
An unforgettable image appeared in Li Mo's mind.
It was the showcase after the swimsuit was customized.
As everyone knows, a showcase requires a model.
The model for the swimsuit was Bing Tuozi.
Li Mo’s gaze froze, and he suddenly felt an itch in his nose...
“Hmm?”
Noticing the movement behind her, Ying Bing turned her head.
Seeing a warm red trickle down the boy’s nose, her delicate brows furrowed:
“Did someone hit you?”

Little Li swore.
His moral character was absolutely fine, and his integrity was quite solid.
But who could blame him? That swimsuit looked so good on Bing Tuozi; the coolness and pure desire didn’t clash but rather complemented each other...
Who wouldn’t be mesmerized?
The swimsuit was a reward from the system.
So!
The system is bad, but Little Li is good.
Li Mo wiped his nose and said seriously:
“I was just at Old Xue’s place, refining pills with Brother Xiao Bao. The fire was too strong, and... I got a bit overheated.”
“You can refine pills?”
“Just a little.”
Looking at the girl’s face, as bright as jade, a hint of unusual color flashed in her moonlit eyes.
In Li Mo's mind, the thought he had just failed to suppress made his nose itch again.
He diverted his attention:
“Let’s practice now; if we don’t, it’ll be dawn soon.”
“Hmm.”
Glancing at the bright moon already tilting in the western sky, Ying Bing nodded gently.
“Wait!” Li Mo suddenly spoke again.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just need to adjust my state.”
The second layer of “Phoenix Singing at Tianze” allows one to vaguely sense the emotions of others.
Last time, when he was thinking about the techniques in the Finger of the Flower, he had a few too many thoughts, and his emotions changed, which Bing Tuozi noticed.
Now he had even more thoughts.
He swallowed a Clear Heart Pill, then calmed his mind, observing the Mona Ice Cream within the world seed.
After a moment.
Li Mo opened his eyes:
“I’m ready.”
Two massage chairs that could freely adjust their angles appeared out of thin air.
“Do you want one?”
Li Mo sat down, adjusted to a comfortable position, and turned to ask.
Ying Bing’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she shook her head:
“No need.”
“Didn’t you enjoy it last time...?”
Li Mo was puzzled.
Ying Bing: “.....”
Well... before they had established a connection of souls, she hadn’t noticed Little Li’s vague thoughts, and everything was fine.
Since that time, she found it a bit hard to face that massage chair.
“Then let’s get started...”
“Wait.”
Just as he was about to touch her jade-like hand, it suddenly retracted.
Li Mo was momentarily stunned.
He saw the girl close her eyes:
“I need to adjust my breath for a moment too.”
“.....”
The night breeze blew gently, and the stars were sparse.
By the shores of Fish Dragon Lake, it was quiet, with only the soft rustling of clothes in the wind, mixed with the faint sound of wind chimes from below.
The boy and girl exchanged glances, silently understanding each other, neither speaking a word.
After a moment.
A faint wave of soul energy began to circulate.
Time passed.
The moon set, and the sun rose, the eastern sky brightening.
After a night, they finally got up.
Before they could even release Bing Tuozi’s hand, a familiar voice called out:
“Li Shidi, there are a lot of people looking for you outside.”
Tang Xiaobao rushed over, stopping abruptly with his little arms flailing.
“How many people?” Li Mo asked.
Tang Xiaobao counted on his fingers but soon realized he didn’t have enough fingers, so he said:
“Just a lot, a whole lot! The threshold of the tavern is almost broken from all the stomping!”
“Does Brother Xiaobao know what they want from me?”
Last night, he had just learned that Xiyu Tower had increased the bounty on him.
Li Mo had been on high alert ever since.
“Probably... probably because of the Qianlong List. Shidi, you’re famous now?”
Tang Xiaobao clearly didn’t know either.
Because of the Qianlong List...
That made sense; although he didn’t feel much, his and Bing Tuozi’s rankings were indeed astonishing.
But Bing Tuozi’s rank was clearly higher than his.
Why were all these people coming to visit him?
“Brother Xiaobao, go call the elders.”
“Okay!”
“Wait, also call the Master.”
Li Mo took out a Wake-Up Pill.
Then he turned to Ying Bing:
“Bing Tuozi, are you coming with me?”
“.....”
Ying Bing gently shook her head.
She didn’t want to waste time dealing with these meaningless worldly matters.
“Alright, we’ll go to Sword City together later.”
Li Mo went downstairs.
Ying Bing silently watched the boy’s departing figure. She got up to brew a pot of tea, planning to drink it before starting to practice “Xia Huang Qi.”
Xia Huang Qi could transform foreign inner breath into foreign true essence.
After opening her second acupoint, she hadn’t had the chance to do this.
Later...
Hmm?
Just as she sat back down, Ying Bing suddenly froze.
She saw her chair was empty.
And the one she was sitting on was warm.
This sensation reminded her of not long ago when they practiced swordsmanship, and she had momentarily lost her focus...
Letting things flow naturally.
But that image, no matter how she thought about it, felt a bit unnatural.
...........
As Brother Xiaobao said, the visitors this time indeed had quite the presence.
It was reasonable to get familiar with the future strong ones on the Qianlong List, but logically, they should have sent a formal invitation first.
Clearly, the visitors were in a hurry, almost rushing over as soon as they learned Li Mo’s whereabouts.
As if afraid of being one step behind.
The elders were quite pleased; Qingyuan Sect had never made a name for itself in Yunzhou.
But after Li Mo told them about Xu Yi, they all calmed down.
Little Master, there’s more in this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading; it gets even more exciting!
After some discussion.
They decided to meet, but Li Mo would keep his Heavenly Fate Divine Eye open the whole time.
Soon, they arrived at the first floor of the tavern.
There were indeed many people, but they were all standing servants, all of whom seemed to have inner breath, with some even at the Observation God Realm.
Only one person was seated.
Ouyang was a bit surprised to see this person.
“Sun Shoufu?”
Shoufu?
Li Mo looked over and saw the man Ouyang referred to as Sun Shoufu, a round figure dressed in luxurious silk, with a thick coral gold belt around his waist.
Two words: extravagant.
Completely different from the low-key Little Li.
“Greetings to the esteemed ones from Ziyang Mansion.”
Sun Shoufu stood up, flattering the elders of Qingyuan Sect, but his gaze was directed at Li Mo:
“I am Sun Gui, the head of Yunzhou Hengtong Trading Company. I’ve come today specifically to visit you, Young Hero Li, and to establish a connection with the esteemed Qingyuan Sect.”
