Chapter 312
“Tut, tut, tut, how nice it is to see him everywhere! He never gets lost, does he?”
Shang Qinqing felt like rolling on the ground in frustration.
The demons around her wore comical smiles, their lips curling up.
Not only were there dumplings and barbecued food to enjoy, but there was also plenty of dog food.
This trip was truly worth it.
Li Mo: “...”
He pulled out a map again and got back to business.

**Chapter 339: What is She Hiding? The New Rival of Princess Xiao Jiang**
Li Mo’s plan was not complicated, especially with a group of demon kings and powerful demons ready to help him perform. These elder demons were equivalent to the fifth realm and even sixth realm beings among the human race.
How could he convince the local populace to believe in him?
It was simple—showing divine power in front of people.
He was quite familiar with this tactic; after all, he had read countless novels. Little Li was well-versed in various ways to display divine power.
A little shock to the people of the Southern Wilderness, and he wouldn’t have to worry about becoming their new ‘god.’
Once the time was right, he would gradually fade into the background.
As they discussed the details of the plan, the sky began to darken.
The demons exchanged glances, feeling that the unparalleled Tianjiao was indeed a genius; the proposal he put forth was simply astonishing.
“Elder demons, if you’re full, you can stay at the Jiawei Tavern.”
After a moment, Li Mo bid farewell to the demons and prepared to head back to the tavern with Ying Bing.
After all, the central military tent was where Commander Qu handled military affairs; he couldn’t just lounge around there until he fully recovered.
With his arms hanging limply, he walked alongside Ying Bing on the street. The passersby and carriages had already trampled the snow into a solid surface, making it feel like walking on ice.
From time to time, someone would slip and fall hard, unable to get back up.
The Southern Wilderness had never seen such heavy snowfall.
Children were making sleds, having their big yellow dogs pull them along, while little ones were sliding on the snow, engaging in snowball fights, even role-playing.
“It’s my turn to be Li Shaoxia!”
“I’ve played the disaster beast twice today.”
“Quick, quick, give me the sword!”
Li Mo looked not far away, where the children were fighting over a straight branch, and his eyes lit up.
“What a good sword! Truly a divine weapon!”
“?”
Ying Bing glanced at the red sky sword at his waist, a hint of helplessness flashing in her serene eyes.
The saying “a man remains a boy until death” was vividly embodied in Little Li.
This was evident when he passed by a water tank, carefully extracting the ice cover, afraid of breaking it, but once he got it out intact, he smashed it on the ground with glee, asking her if it was impressive.
If she didn’t hold him back, he would probably have dashed off to skate.
“Li Mo.”
Ying Bing extended her small hand.
“Alright then.”
Eager to try, Li Mo ultimately chose to hold onto the ice lump (or rather, be held by the ice lump).
Her small hand, cool and fragrant, gradually warmed up, giving Li Mo a bit more courage, and he would occasionally glide forward a little.
Sometimes, when he walked slowly, sensing his intentions, Ying Bing would give him a gentle glare and pull him along to glide for a bit.
It felt... quite joyful?
Ying Bing looked back at him. The boy, almost seventeen, was soon to become a renowned hero, and the Qianlong List would soon spread news of his deeds across the world.
Yet here he was, being led by her, his smile bright and carefree, like a big boy who hadn’t grown up.
A strange sensation stirred in her heart, like something was taking root and sprouting...
Hmm...
Perhaps it was because she had been wearing the Taiyin Liuxian dress for too long, and the Taiyin energy around her was already strong, now feeling a bit restless...

Late at night.
In the small world.
Looking around, the hazy mist was almost gone, revealing seven stars, including the sun and moon, along with various landscapes meticulously crafted by the Celestial Lord. Everything was thriving, exuding an extraordinary atmosphere.
The area was now almost the size of half a city.
When Li Mo broke through to the inner realm, it would likely be as large as Yunzhou City.
In his inner realm, he could project this small world outward, creating a domain that could cover the entire city!
Just thinking about it was absurd.
However, the Celestial Lord was not currently focused on the domain.
“What was that ice lump hiding just now?”
As they returned to the tavern, Ying Bing suddenly seemed to remember something and asked him to wait outside.
Little Li was a bit puzzled.
Through the door, he saw Ying Bing putting something into a big-headed doll, which looked like... clothing?
“Could it be the local style from the Southern Wilderness she wore...?”
At this thought, the Celestial Lord’s body shook, and the look of contemplation in his eyes deepened.
“Master... what are you thinking about?”
A timid voice rang out.
Princess Xiao Jiang had just entered and saw her Celestial Master standing there with an inscrutable expression.
Could he be pondering some profound truth?
“Those who understand, understand.”
“For those who don’t, even if I tell them, they won’t comprehend.”
The Celestial Lord withdrew his thoughts, lightly sighing and shaking his head.
“Oh...”
Princess Xiao Jiang obediently stopped asking, becoming even more certain of her guess.
Her master’s thoughts were too profound; even if he told her, she probably wouldn’t understand.
Moreover, she had something more pressing to discuss:
“Master, Aunt Mei... Aunt Mei wants to take me... take me away from Ziyang Mansion.”
“But... but Li Ge hasn’t returned yet.”
“Now that the Southern Wilderness is so dangerous, is he... is he alright?”
When Jiang Chuchong asked these questions, she surprisingly stuttered much less.
Li Mo was taken aback.
Did Ziyang Mansion already know about what was happening in the Southern Wilderness?
Did that mean the elders of Qingyuan Sect were also aware?
The news of the great victory in Qingmu City probably hadn’t had time to reach them; they must be very worried now...

“He’s fine.”
The Celestial Master softened his voice, ruffling Princess Xiao Jiang’s hair.
“Really?”
Jiang Chuchong bit her lip, her trembling eyes visible through the fabric.
“When have I ever lied to you?”
The Celestial Lord chuckled softly and added:
“Besides, it won’t be long before the Qianlong List is released, and everyone will know. You’ll see it too.”
“Hmm...”
Jiang Chuchong sighed in relief, placing a hand on her chest, and then quietly asked:
“Master, today... who will I be sparring with?”
“Today’s opponent is a bit different.”
The Celestial Lord smiled mysteriously and took out a divine observation chart.
This was a return on investment, depicting a young general who had fought on the battlefield, embodying the true essence of warfare.
It was a projection of the upper form.
Currently, the power of all beings stored in the Kongming Wanse Tower filled just over one layer of the thirty-six layers, enough to project the upper form.
The power of all beings flowed from the small tower into the Hunyuan Fan Zhen Mirror.
The mirror’s light shone on the chart, causing a figure to emerge.
The person wore ancient battle armor and wielded a massive broadsword, exuding an aura around the realm of divine observation.
“This person is the son of the Helian King from the time of the Great Shang.”
“This projection contains a part of his power and the essence of his techniques.”
“Today, your task is to defeat him!”
“He’s just the first; you will have many more opponents in the future. You must defeat them to cultivate your own sword path until your sword bone is reborn!”
According to the information from the Tianming Divine Eye, Princess Xiao Jiang was fifteen years old.
And when she stepped into the realm of divine observation, it would be the moment her sword bone was reborn!
