Chapter 404
Except for the mornings when it was time to feed the canned food, she would jump onto the bed and lick his neck.
“Still itchy?” Bing Tuozi lifted her head, her eyes hazy.
“Uh-huh!”
The upright and virtuous Xiao Li felt the warmth on his neck quickly turn cool.
That spot was no longer itchy.
But it seemed like—
Something was crawling up from his heart, itching to break free.
So he nodded seriously, affirming her.
As everyone knows, sealing a mosquito bite with saliva involves two steps.
But Bing Tuozi had ingeniously combined them into one!
Bing Tuozi was a genius!
The moonlight, like a silver veil, enveloped the two on the rooftop.
At first, they were a bit stiff, especially the expressionless Han Xianzi.
But gradually, she seemed to melt like Bing Tuozi in someone’s embrace.
P.S.: I just got home this afternoon, so the update is a bit late, but there are still three updates today. Sorry, dear readers.
Taking a break really worked, heh.

**Chapter 448: Bing Tuozi's Path of Body Refinement - One Step**
In the dead of night.
“Should we go for another sleepwalk tonight?”
Qin Yuzhi yawned as she walked in from outside, but just as she reached the door, her steps suddenly halted.
She looked up in confusion at the two figures on the rooftop.
Wasn’t this the scene she had seen in her dreams?
“Am I... in a dream now? No, I don’t feel like I’m dreaming at all.”
“Could it be that someone dragged me into a dream? But whose dream could possibly surpass mine? Unless…”
“Could it be that I’ve never truly woken up from the Yunjing Underground Palace?”
“I can’t still be living in a dream, right?”
Qin Yuzhi’s expression went blank as she hugged her head and muttered to herself.
Her murmurs successfully froze the two figures on the rooftop.
Ying Bing lifted her head from his neck: “Let’s seal it here for today.”
“Yeah, sealing isn’t something that can be rushed; it takes time.”
“?”
“When the seal loosens…”
Xiao Li, feeling a bit sheepish, climbed onto the bandwagon, indicating that this annoying and terrifying itch would surely break through the seal at some point!
Long-term and repeated sealing was necessary!
Perhaps jolted by a sudden realization, Bing Tuozi hadn’t spoken for a while, but after a moment, she stood up.
Xiao Li was startled and quickly pulled up the hem of his long robe, hunching over to hold it.
Ying Bing didn’t look at him, her beautiful phoenix eyes avoiding him, as if she had just been shocked by electricity.
She left the not-so-conveniently standing Xiao Li on the rooftop and returned to her room.
As soon as she closed the door, the system’s notification sounded:
【Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the punishment task.】
【Rewards are being distributed.】
【Reward One: Jie Shen Yu (Calamity Body Jade).】
【Reward Two】
The system’s voice continued to ring out, listing rewards that were rare treasures of the world.
But Bing Tuozi sat at the head of the bed, brewing tea, tightly clutching a big-headed doll.
After giving the doll several baths in tea, she finally came back to her senses.
【Jie Shen Yu】: “After absorbing enough of the world’s vital energy, it can unleash heavenly tribulations, serving to refine the body. This includes but is not limited to wind tribulations, fire tribulations, thunder tribulations, and heart demon tribulations, which can be used twice.”
The Jie Shen Yu was a small seal, inscribed with dizzying inscriptions.
Her and Li Mo’s biggest gap was in their physical bodies.
If only this item had come sooner…
【Host, even if you take the top spot, the punishment is something you will eventually have to face. Why deceive yourself?】
Creak—
The big-headed doll’s shiny head was squeezed tightly, letting out a pitiful wail.
The system obediently fell silent.
【Ming Sha Jing Fan Shen】: “A high-grade skill in body tempering, upon completion, the skin will be as smooth as ice and jade, yet soft as fine silk. It can absorb external energy impacts and convert them for personal use, endlessly.”
“Note: Your appearance and aura will improve over time, remaining ageless, resolving the issue of body expansion caused by physical training, with outstanding effects.”
Ying Bing hadn’t deliberately trained her body in her previous life.
Mainly due to the tempering of the Taiyin energy, she had never suffered in this regard.
But now she was experiencing it.
【Shen Xiao Tian Xin Jian Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Styles】: “These three styles complete the full sword technique, using one’s heart to replace the heavenly heart! Acting in accordance with the heartless nature of heaven and earth, to walk the path of heaven!”
Ying Bing picked up the skill manual, which was made of soft golden paper.
As long as she wished, she could immediately possess a complete and secret sword technique. With her talent, it wouldn’t take long to master it.
She raised her index finger and gently touched her crimson lips.
“This method isn’t suitable for me.”
“It needs some modifications to be usable.”

The next morning.
“Let’s discuss something.”
“I understand your feelings, but if you keep this up, how am I supposed to go out?”
Early in the morning, Li Mo stood in the room, looking serious as he lectured, hoping the other party would lower their head too.
Unfortunately, the other party seemed to be in a rebellious phase, still arrogant.
With no other choice, Xiao Li had to take out paper and pen, drawing a few episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, with the yellow square and pink star catching jellyfish, finally managing to cheer himself up.
“If this is a dream, how could I dream of things I’ve never seen before?”
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Qin Yuzhi sitting on the threshold, hugging her legs and still mumbling to herself.
“What are you rambling about?”
Li Mo silently stood behind her, startling the dignified leader of the Xuanzhen Realm.
“Something’s off. I had a dream yesterday that didn’t feel like a dream at all!”
Qin Yuzhi said mysteriously, “I suspect that He is coming back.”
“Is it possible that you’ve always been in a dream? Even I am just a part of your dream?”
“Indeed, you think so too, right?”
“I was just joking! You can dream of things you’ve never seen, but you can’t dream of things that don’t exist in the world!”
“Hmm?”
Qin Yuzhi looked up, about to verify her guess, but suddenly froze, then let out a long sigh of relief.
She regained her composure:
“It’s fine now; I’m sure that wasn’t a dream.”
“???”
Li Mo curiously touched his neck. Why did she keep looking at that spot? Had he been bitten by a mosquito again?
But it wasn’t itchy now.
Confused, Xiao Li decided not to dwell on that issue and began discussing advertising content with the leader.
“By the way, since we have chicken essence and MSG, I think there’s no need to advertise both at the same time; it won’t be effective.”
“So you mean? Just pick one?”
“No, I think we can combine the two and see if we can create something even better!”
Li genius had a new idea recently.
Mainly, he felt that both MSG and chicken essence as seasonings were still not convenient enough, and their effects might not be as good as he imagined.
“Is there something even better?”
“Just try it; I’ll see if I can get Xue Lao to create a similar flavor.”
Li Mo took out a bag of instant noodles from the system space.
That’s right!
Why not turn it into an instant noodle seasoning packet?
“Slurp slurp!”
When Qin Yuzhi saw it, she looked skeptical, but as it cooked, her face showed delight, and when she took the first bite, her body trembled slightly.
She declared that she would endorse instant noodles from now on.
The endorsement fee would be unlimited instant noodles.
“What? Create this formula and mass-produce it?”
At Dan Ding Peak, Xue Lao’s second disciple, Qiu Xi, looked astonished.
Come on, I’m going to be a master alchemist in the future, refining precious pills that will make me a guest of honor in major martial arts sects and among nobles. Just a shake of my body can make everyone bow down and shout “awesome.”
I don’t want to lose face!

**Chapter 449: Instant Noodle Plan Initiated - Top Three of the Hidden Dragon**
At Dan Ding Peak, in the Alchemy Institute.
The sun shone on the alchemy furnace, rising with a fragrant blue smoke, as disciples busily surrounded the furnace.
Xue Lao’s few direct disciples were originally each in charge of a group, performing their duties—some handling materials, some monitoring the furnace temperature, and others refining pills.
Everything seemed orderly and solemn.
But just now, Tang Xiaobao brought in a very special “pill recipe.”
He insisted that they stop all their work and that everyone should focus on refining this thing.
“This is the master’s order,” Tang Xiaobao said cheerfully.
“But why?”
Qiu Xi scanned the materials on the paper, a black line appearing on his forehead, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
Beef fat, dried chili, soy sauce—
Why are you asking us to do this? Go to the cafeteria!
“Li Shidi is about to go to the imperial capital; he needs these pills to enhance his strength,” Tang Xiaobao explained honestly.
