Chapter 629
Although he didn't know who was in charge.
Damn it, it seemed he couldn't escape the law of soft and hard complementarity either. Otherwise, why couldn't he muster any toughness right now?
Splash—
As the veil slipped away, Li Mo held his breath.
He had never felt this nervous before, and his mind was emptier than ever.
When the beautiful image he had imagined countless times finally appeared before him, he realized his imagination had fallen short.
A layer of hazy moonlight draped over the windowsill, and the dim light inside the room made Li Mo momentarily dazed.
The quiet yet restless girl from his childhood.
The sacred and untouchable young woman from his teenage years, the one whose wisdom shone like the principles of heaven during her martial training, all seemed to soften in the candlelit glow of the moon.
At that moment, her eyes sparkled as she glanced at him, then lowered her gaze, her eyelashes fluttering.
She had no idea how intoxicating her charm was.
Little Li was clearly unable to extricate himself.
Chui Bao also wished he could be lost in it.
"The veil is off."
"Uh-huh..."
"You have to take responsibility for me."
Li Mo, wanting to prove he wasn't childish, found himself utterly tongue-tied. He had meant to say he would take responsibility for her.
"?"
Ying Bing raised an eyebrow, a question mark appearing above her head.
But seeing his guilty yet serious expression, she couldn't help but smile, leaning in closer, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Does that mean I have to listen to you from now on?"
"Yeah, starting with not calling me childish. If you keep saying that, the elders will think I have no standing in the family."
"I'll listen to you, my husband."
"!"
Little Li's body jolted. His iron-like resolve nearly shattered into pieces. If he looked in the mirror right now, he would probably be blushing all over.
Why did her rosy, glistening lips have such devastating power just by parting slightly?
Li Mo was sure she wasn't genuinely calling him that; she was just teasing him. In the end, when he was at a loss, it would still be the bad sister pulling the strings.
That wicked Bing Tuozi! And especially wicked!
And the poor Wang Qi Douhun's mind went blank, as if he were about to be toyed with by the bad sister...
No!
His brain had stopped thinking, but something else could take its place...
"Bing Tuozi?"
"Uh-huh?"
"Weren't you having blisters in your mouth? Let me check if they're better."
"Didn't I already...?"
Li Mo pinched Bing Tuozi's chin and, before she could finish, he bit down.
They had indeed kissed during the day, but with so many people watching, it was merely a fleeting touch, nothing compared to a proper examination.
As everyone knew, Little Li was a responsible gentleman.
When it came to checking, he was meticulous, as evidenced by how Bing Ying was shrinking in his embrace, struggling to catch her breath.
Little Li was tough everywhere except his mouth, while Ying Bing was just the opposite.
Now that her mouth was blocked, all she could do was whimper, and the bad sister Bing Tuozi suddenly looked a bit pitiful.
'They say Hai Si has a great feel, but I think that's wrong.'
Little Li's best feel should be when he was wearing the color-changing garment on Bing Tuozi's legs.
And besides...
Hai Si could really change colors.
She suddenly trembled, and Li Mo took a moment to glance down.
The color resembled a rose burning with fire, pulsating with a seductive red.
'Two hours.'
'Even if I faint, my mouth will still be tough.'
Ying Bing initially had some doubts, but now she was worried that soon...
She wouldn't even be able to keep her mouth tough.
The system's punishments and the heart of the Dao seemed to have burned away, leaving her mind blank and dazed.
"Tonight, there's the Huan Mo Sect..."
"Everything's been arranged."
Li Mo was a flash-of-genius type of talent, but this time, he had made thorough preparations.
If they were still lacking the fourth-level combat power of the two of them, could that be called thorough preparation?
Ying Bing suspected Little Li had planned this all along, but she had no evidence, and right now, she wasn't in the mood to think about it. Her brows suddenly furrowed deeply.
A minute later.
Having spent three hundred and fifty Xuanjing to buy it, and after being crafted by a master, the three-thousand-year-old Hai Si let out a mournful 'rip' as it was thrown to the ground.
The way it was torn looked like some kind of food packaging.
And it was torn apart by a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for three days.
Paired with that splash of red, it was breathtaking.
'Fortunately, I haven't eaten the Longfeng Yuantai Shen Dan yet...'
She had never thought she would be grateful for something like this.
'How do you use the last layer of the Phoenix Ming Tian Ze?'
She had never imagined she would forget how to practice martial arts.
'He didn't secretly use Fa Tian Xiang Di, did he? No way...'
She never thought there would come a day when she would be so afraid of a certain martial art.
However, the most unexpected thing was probably not any of these three.
Bing Tuozi's past had been like walking on thin ice, looking down on the world.
Even if she didn't do it intentionally, when facing Li Mo, she would subconsciously put herself in the role of someone who had been there, which is why she initially called him childish—she genuinely thought he was like a little boy who hadn't grown up.
Later, Ying Bing began to find it strange.
Why did his seemingly childish behavior often yield unexpected results?
Thus, the seemingly cold and aloof master of the Gui Palace began to seriously understand him. She was someone who disliked the unknown because it meant losing control.
She discovered he was very smart and growing up quickly.
In every sense of the word...
Making the Ying Bing of her past, who had walked on thin ice, face a life of upheaval in this life, without wandering... cough!
To get back on track, perhaps in the process of curiosity, she had invested herself.
The Phoenix Empress was extremely wise, knowing all things, yet she was a blank slate when it came to one thing, to the point that she hadn't realized at that time...
That was the beginning of love's arrival.
From now on, she really couldn't call him childish anymore, could she?
After all, he was now fierce enough to make one anxious, and if he accidentally used Fa Tian Xiang Di again, it was too terrifying to even think about.
What else could she call him instead of childish?
"My husband..."
"?"
Her gentle voice rippled through his heart like a breeze, causing Li Mo to freeze, as if he had turned to stone.
Having never been weaker than anyone, Ying Bing, for the first time, softened her stance and let out a sigh of relief.
But there was still something she hadn't anticipated.
Softening up at this moment would only backfire...
Not softening at all.
Little Li and Chui Bao were even more excited.

Chapter 734: Candy's Here!
After the daytime clamor, the night at Qingyuan Sect felt particularly quiet.
Especially on a certain desolate peak that hadn't been inhabited for a long time, a group of uninvited guests approached silently, as if passing by, seemingly unnoticed by anyone.
"That’s Qunyu Peak, the entrance to the Da Shang Imperial Tomb."
Situ Ding had his hands behind his back, his expression somewhat uncertain.
"What are we waiting for?" Mo Chaozong, looking a bit weak, wanted to take the lead but was stopped by Situ Ding.
"Such an important place, why is there no one guarding it? It’s too quiet," Situ Ding voiced his concerns.
Qingyuan Sect was the guardian of the Da Shang Imperial Tomb, yet the entrance to Qunyu Peak had not a single soul in sight.
Was Qingyuan Sect really that forgetful?
"Deputy Sect Master Situ, you may not know, but there is someone watching over this place."
"Who?"
"Shang Wu."
"...... How do you know?"
"Here."
One of the disciples pointed, and Situ Ding followed his finger to see a sign:
[Shang Wu is inside, unauthorized personnel keep out.]
Situ Ding: "....."
Yu Wen Cuojin: "......"
Something felt off, but at least it explained why there were no other people here. It was no different from having a vicious dog on guard.
Well, there was a difference; a vicious dog was more reliable and wouldn't leave its post to go drink.
However, having Shang Wu guard Qunyu Sect revealed the underlying issues.
Moreover, they had seen in the main hall that the elders inside were all drinking and having fun, completely unguarded.
"I didn't expect Qingyuan Sect to be so lax. Situ, should we act now?"
Yu Wen Cuojin, still recovering from his injuries, found that this time, the two deputy sect masters were not equal, with Situ Ding taking the lead.
"We mustn't be rash. This time, we need to be absolutely certain. Let's wait for the Immortal's subordinates to regroup first." Situ Ding's tone was tinged with excitement.
Originally, just retrieving the Life and Death Reversal Array would have fulfilled the Sect Master's task.
Now it seemed they could achieve far more than that.
This time, they might be able to wipe out Qingyuan Sect in one fell swoop!
