Chapter 207
"Maybe that Saintess of the Xiyu Tower is up to no good."
Li Mo shook his head.
Being the subject of someone else's attention was never a good feeling.
"Oh? What kind of things would Yin Mianmian do?"
Yin Mianmian stepped a little closer.
Her gaze swept over Li Mo, but she didn’t see anything resembling a treasure or anything of the sort.
So where was his wealth hidden?
Li Mo turned around, his expression serious:
"First of all, she's an old woman who's not developed well."
Crack—
Yin Mianmian's fists clenched tightly.
"What?" Li Mo continued, oblivious to the tension, "You see, people with physical defects often have psychological issues."
"Plus, growing up in the deceitful and treacherous environment of Xiyu Tower, filled with danger and instability, would only exacerbate her mental state."
"Otherwise, why would she enjoy watching men lose their minds and fight like wild animals?"
"Hmm, why does your face look so bad, Bing Tuzi?"
Li Mo asked, puzzled.
He noticed that Bing Tuzi's complexion had darkened, as if...
She was feeling quite aggressive?
Unbeknownst to him, that was just a facade; inside, Yin Mianmian was seething with rage.
"How do you know about her interests?"
"It seems you are..."
Yin Mianmian gritted her teeth.
The poisoned dagger had already slipped from her palm.
In that instant, she forgot about probing into Li Mo's wealth; years of cultivating her inner energy felt wasted.
But the next moment.
Buzz—
The moonlight shimmered.
It was Li Mo releasing the divine intent from his soul.
Some girls have stronger reactions during their periods, which can manifest in both body and mood.
This moonlight had the effect of dispelling distractions and various negative emotions, something they had tested before, like when Ouyang Shixiong had turned dark.
As the divine intent enveloped her, she fell silent.
Sure enough.
When the moonlight shone above her head, her previously furious expression suddenly froze.
All her emotions seemed to dissipate.
"You are... Abba Abba..."
Yin Mianmian suddenly thought.
After all, Li Mo was still young, and they were enemies.
Since they were enemies, wasn't it normal to be a bit harsh with words?
Of course, she could forgive him...
However.
She still had to make a move.
Even though her anger had subsided, it didn’t mean her desire to kill had vanished.
Li Mo's red flowers hung on the Xiyu Tower for a day, slapping the face of this Saintess hard.
But first, she needed to figure out where his unexpected wealth came from and how he knew about her interests.
"It seems you know quite a bit about Yin Mianmian?"
Yin Mianmian's expression returned to calm as she asked coldly.
"Not really."
Li Mo shook his head, putting down the hammer.
Glancing outside, he noticed that Xiao Bao Shixiong hadn’t returned yet, so he lowered his voice:
"I learned by chance that, in fact, Yin Mianmian is a person who has both despicable and pitiable aspects."
"Hmm? Like what?"
"The master of Xiyu Tower, due to her constitution, has treated her as a furnace. She probably doesn’t even realize it..."
"???!"
Yin Mianmian first scoffed, then her smile suddenly froze at the corners of her mouth.
Li Mo thought she was Ying Bing.
So, there was no possibility of him deliberately sowing discord.
He had no reason to lie.
And if he had merely stated this, it could be dismissed as a casual guess.
But her secret interest, which she had never told anyone, was clearly pinpointed by Li Mo!
If... if what he said was true...
For a moment, Yin Mianmian was lost in thought.
At the same time.
A notification sound rang in Li Mo's ears.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully invested in Yin Mianmian, causing her to doubt the master of Xiyu Tower.]
[You have a feedback to claim.]
Li Mo didn’t even have time to check what the reward was.
Because he and Bing Tuzi often practiced together, they were very familiar with each other's divine intents.
The moment the divine intent enveloped them, he sensed something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint it right away.
Just as he was about to use the Heavenly Fate Divine Eye.
The system's feedback notification came.
Yin Mianmian?!
Li Mo's expression changed.
At the same time, Yin Mianmian's thoughts raced; for a moment, she didn’t want to kill Li Mo anymore.
She needed to find out where Li Mo had gotten his information!
In an instant, the power of the Heavenly Demon was pushed to its limits, and a surge of divine intent enveloped her.
Observing the divine through the nine orifices, she activated an extreme form.
Let alone the three orifices of observation, even the inner realm was at risk of falling into a trap.
This was a clash of divine intents!
In that moment.
The divine intent clashed.
Li Mo let out a muffled grunt, and in a daze, he felt as if he were floating in the clouds, surrounded by ethereal celestial maidens, each more beautiful than the last, their dances captivating.
The real Yin Mianmian blended among them, her charming smile and enchanting gaze sending signals of temptation deep into his mind.
This temptation.
If he succumbed, he would likely become a forever subservient figure, unable to resist.
Li Mo's divine intent was slightly stronger than others in the same realm.
But relying solely on divine intent, he found it hard to resist.
But... who was Li Mo?
In his past life, he had experienced countless encounters with alluring women, which allowed him to maintain a certain clarity.
He stared, somewhat entranced, at the celestial maidens' swaying dances.
An unexpected image surfaced in his mind.
It was the template that had loaded when the system adapted to swimwear.
Bing Tuzi's yet-to-be-released limited skin—Black Temptation of the Cool Summer.
Li Mo's gaze gradually firmed:
"My assessment is..."
"Not as good as Bing Tuzi."
The next moment.
The moonlight surged!
A bright full moon slowly rose, its light like frost, illuminating everything.
All the celestial maidens touched by the light turned into withered bones!

Chapter 225: She Only Looks Like You, But She’s Not You
In the room on the third floor.
The moment the Heavenly Demon illusion was shattered, Li Mo snapped back to reality.
He was awake, but he still felt mentally drained; the extreme divine intent was not easy to bear.
Yin Mianmian opposite him clearly also suffered a significant shock.
"Heh... that strange divine intent of yours, it won’t work, will it?"
Yin Mianmian's face was slightly pale.
But she still raised her hand, striking out with a seemingly soft and powerless palm, silently and without a sound.
This move appeared weak and feeble, yet it sealed off all possible escape routes for Li Mo.
The Invisible Binding Hand.
This ultimate skill was evidently at the perfected level!
Her figure moved like a ghost.
She came too quickly.
Even a genius outside the top ten of the Qianlong List would find it hard to withstand this bizarre palm strike.
Li Mo's mind calmed; he had forty in hand, and the seven Xuan Dan in his dantian began to spin violently.
Instead of retreating, he advanced.
He raised the Star Hammer.
Within the seed of the world, the stars aligned in a seven-star formation, radiating brilliant light!
The small hammer, fierce and unmatched, contained the power to create and destroy, as if it could bring the heavens crashing down.
Boom—
The energy surged violently, yet it was incredibly condensed, not leaking a single bit.
This was because Li Mo had mastered the hammer technique to perfection, wasting not an ounce of its power.
Yin Mianmian's eyes widened suddenly.
Her figure seemed like a leaf caught in a whirlwind.
Crackling—
A shadow of the Heavenly Demon exploded into black smoke on her body, followed by two, three, four, five shadows, each bursting apart like fleeting dreams.
The Rakshasa Shadow.
This was the first form of a divine-level movement technique.
It was also the reason she could survive under this hammer strike.
This was why she could even hold her ground against external forces for a moment; the inner realm was utterly helpless against her.
"The top ten of the Qianlong List... none of them are easy to deal with."
"Even if my divine intent has some restraint over her..."
Li Mo gripped the hammer, calculating how many more strikes he could deliver.
"With the three orifices of observation, you can force me to go all out."
"You are the first outside the top ten of the Qianlong List."
Finally, the aura of her nine orifices of observation poured out without any restraint, no longer concealing the energy within the room.
Her figure seemed boneless, swirling and entangling with the long silk.
It seemed... she intended to wrap up Li Mo like a zongzi and take him away.
In an instant, Li Mo activated the Extreme Soldier Killing Body.
Snap—
A gust of fresh wind blew, opening the door to the room.
...
Just moments ago.
Tang Xiaobao had just finished his bath.
He was holding a bucket of bathwater, preparing to head to the third floor when he suddenly paused in his steps.
