Chapter 483
“It's Bingbing... uh, Han Xianzi...”
“If it’s her, it’s not impossible...”
“Her beloved, Li Mo.”
“Can you just finish your sentence in one breath?!”
The master of Blood Refinement Hall felt embarrassed, almost overwhelmed by the urge to slap the other person.
“Li Mo? How could that be?”
“He was using a sword!”
People from the Demon Sect didn’t think much of Li Mo; after all, the prowess of the Divine Hammer Little Overlord was well-known, and even Han Zhen could be taken down with a single blow.
They simply looked down on Li Mo’s swordsmanship.
“Absolutely true! I have the Shenying Bi as proof!”
The disciple said, pulling out a crystal wall, and after infusing it with his true essence, an image appeared.
“I came down first; I lost.”
The image showed Li Mo lying in Ying Bing’s arms, dog food raining down, and the entire venue fell silent.
Now, even the Demon Sect’s branch was quiet.
“He defeated Jiang Yu? Did he make Jiang Yu burst from overeating?”
“I’ll be damned!”
“Calm down, Master! I made a mistake...”
The disciple fiddled with the device until the image stabilized.
As they gazed at the scene of countless swords soaring through the air, shaking the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Seal, the members of the Demon Sect remained speechless for a long time.
The masters of Blood Refinement Hall and Yin Yang Hall both looked intently at Li Mo’s figure.
After the meeting concluded, both he and the master of Yin Yang Hall slowly rose.
Before long, they found themselves in a teahouse on the same street as Bu Yun Tower.
A woman had already poured three cups of tea and was waiting there; it was Qu Songyun, who had lost to Jiang Yu today.
Despite participating in the entire Qianlong Conference, she showed no signs of fatigue.
“Greetings, Masters.”
“Did you see Li Mo’s sword technique today?” the master of Blood Refinement Hall asked directly.
“Lord Blood God told me it’s not just a technique, nor is it merely swordsmanship,” Qu Songyun shook her head.
“What kind of martial arts can draw upon the power of all beings...” the master of Yin Yang Hall murmured.
The master of Blood Refinement Hall frowned, “Though it’s called swordsmanship, I see shadows of other martial arts within it; it’s clearly wielded with the Tianren Divine Sword.”
“But even the ancestral techniques left behind can only absorb the power of all beings; they can’t manipulate it as if it were an extension of oneself.”
“Even if he practices divine skills, it’s still...”
At this moment, Qu Songyun hadn’t spoken, but a voice suddenly rang out:
“What’s strange is not the martial arts, but him.”
“Qianlong has passed through the Dragon Gate; the realm of Tianren City is now visible. Prepare early.”
Both of them suddenly realized that it was the Blood God speaking directly to them, rather than delivering a divine decree as usual.
Did this mean that the Blood God intended to personally descend rather than just sending someone to Tianren City?

Chapter 541: It Seems You’re About to Exceed the System’s Progress!
The Qianlong Conference had one final round, but that round didn’t seem as important anymore.
Li Mo had become the only participant with a perfect winning record so far.
Even if he lost a match later, it wouldn’t affect his entry into the top three, and it was almost certain he would take first place.
Crown Prince Jiang Yu had been defeated by him.
Xie Xuan... if they were to face off seriously, Xie Xuan might not even withstand Li Mo’s initial strike of the Fighting King’s Essence.
Ying Bing... what more needs to be said about the Cold Fairy?
Unknowingly, Little Li, who was ranked fourth in the Qianlong, had already defeated all the top three.
Bu Yun Tower even started the celebration banquet early.
Fame can be a double-edged sword, especially considering the rumors from certain close aides to the emperor that Little Li might have some connection to the royal family.
Otherwise, how could Li Mo receive such praise from the emperor after defeating Jiang Yu?
And why would Jiang Chulong follow him?
It’s chilling to think about!
Regardless of the truth, many people came bearing lavish gifts to pay their respects, most of whom sought out Zhong Zhenyue to introduce them.
Old Zhong initially didn’t want to bring them over.
But the offers were too generous.
“Why is the celebration banquet set up on the street? It’s like a casual buffet; eating on the street, what kind of status is that...”
“After all, they come from humble beginnings; it’s understandable, it’s understandable.”
“Hey, don’t say that; this stuff is actually pretty good. What’s it called... barbecue?”
“Eating on the street, now that’s authentic.”
“I’m going to ask who invented this recipe later...”
“It’s Brother Li,” Zhong Zhenyue said, happily munching on skewers, patting his slightly thicker wallet.
“Where is he?”
“The one grilling the skewers.”
“???”
---
In front of the grill.
The famous idea king of Qingyuan Sect, the first Best Actor at the Golden Statue Awards, the creator of barbecue techniques, and the only designated child of the Phoenix Empress—what kind of status does he have? He doesn’t need to personally handle social engagements.
He had more important matters to attend to.
“Put more chili on this; Ice Cube has been craving spicy food lately.”
“Oh, and she loves sour stuff too. Barbecue with vinegar, that’s it... how about sour plum soup!”
Li Mo’s face was serious.
Preparing to find an excuse to enter Ice Cube’s room later, he took a moment to check the investment feedback he had yet to claim.
Two of them were from Princess Jiang, and one was from Ning Que.
All were of golden destiny, but after the rebirth of the sword bone, Princess Jiang’s golden aura was now more vibrant.
[Investment Feedback: Secret Silver Heavenly Book Seal.]
The Eight-Nine Profound Arts now only had one volume, containing only the introductory content, so the Secret Silver Heavenly Book Seal was still needed.
[Investment Feedback: Lotus Silk Cloud Shoes.]
“Is this enough for the Great Sage’s outfit?”
Li Mo thought for a moment and shook his head slightly; he was still missing the most crucial part.
The staff.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang was also part of the set.
“Not knowing the staff technique is easy to fix; with my martial arts comprehension, my staff talent should be better than my swordsmanship...”
“Just what will my nickname turn into this time?”
Thoughts swirling, Li Mo felt it was too early to think about these things.
Because he sensed that the investment feedback for golden destiny probably wouldn’t come through.
In the end, he still needed to hug Ice Cube’s jade legs more.
“Should I hug the black ones or the white ones?”
With that thought, he opened the feedback from Ning Que.
It was a weapon embryo, similar to a mysterious weapon embryo, capable of replicating a divine weapon in its treasure version.

Splash—
A gentle sound of water echoed, as fair, delicate feet lightly shattered the moonlight in the basin.
Ying Bing pursed her lips, looking down at her knees, where pearl-white lotus silk and dark cloud gauze lay, lost in thought.
Why did she agree to this?
She couldn’t remember, but when Little Li said he wanted everything, she agreed...
[Reminder: Time until next punishment... oh no, system ranking: Two days.]
[Wait, Host, what are you holding?]
“Two very precious materials,” Ying Bing replied coolly.
[This system deeply suspects that you may exceed the system’s punishment progress.]
For the first time, the system seemed a bit defeated; after saying this, it fell silent.
It was unclear whether it was self-reflecting or preparing for something bigger next time.
“Ice Cube, dinner’s ready.”
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Little Li poked his head in.
“Later, we can only... touch a little, remember we agreed on that.”
Ying Bing lightly pressed her crimson lips together, her narrowed eyes showing a hint of caution.
“?”
Li Mo was momentarily stunned, unable to process what she meant. What was she talking about?
What else could they do?
“I’m just curious about how that material feels when worn; after all, these are my two finest creations as a blacksmith. Master Du said to touch it with your hands and feel it with your heart.”
“You better really think that way...”
“Just like how you taught me to seal it around my neck.”
“.....”
Moments later, the speechless Ice Cube narrowed her eyes, feeling warmth through the lotus silk, her mind and thoughts in disarray.
This time, he used pearl-white lotus silk and dark cloud gauze to make socks; what if he made something else later?
She remembered that at the beginning, they held hands only for training, sleeping on the same bed, her heart was as calm as a still lake.
But now?

P.S.: This chapter isn’t finished; I’ll add more later. If you come back in, it’ll refresh.

Chapter 542: Little Bingzi Managed to Handle It Herself
Take note, this man is called Little Li.
Logically, as a gentleman, he shouldn’t be lingering in Ice Cube’s room.
But according to the law of conservation of standing, he couldn’t stand up right now.
Bu Yun Tower was so lively, with a crowd wanting to see him; if he went back now, he might be spotted violating the law of conservation of standing. Would that be appropriate?
