Li Xiaonan began to refine a device, and an hour later, a figure identical to him appeared before him.
He shook his head helplessly; only those at the Separation Stage or above could control such a device, and he clearly was not capable of that. For Li Xiaonan, this identical figure was merely a decoration.
Li Xiaonan unconsciously narrowed his eyes, thinking: It seems this can only be used as bait. Should I just throw it out there? Or set a trap? No! What cultivation level is Xing Su? Separation Stage! How could he possibly fall for my trick so easily?
He slowly closed his eyes and began to think deeply.
Ling Kui watched in shock, sighing inwardly: Is this a puppet? But it doesn't look like one; it seems he cannot control it with his current cultivation level.
Just as she was puzzled, she saw Li Xiaonan take out seven Lingxiao Pills and insert them into the head, limbs, chest, and abdomen of the figure. He then took out Foundation Pills and inserted them into the figure's body one by one.
The figure floated in the air, continuously rotating. As more Foundation Pills were inserted by Li Xiaonan, the figure's body began to emit a brilliant glow, and even its facial expressions seemed to come alive. Finally, after inserting the last Foundation Pill, the brilliance on the figure slowly faded.
Li Xiaonan's eyes gleamed with determination as he thought: I spent seven Lingxiao Pills to mimic the main body structure and three hundred sixty-one Foundation Pills to simulate the body's meridians. I refuse to believe that this won't fool you, Xing Su!
He then stored the figure away, took a moment to adjust himself, helped Ling Kui up, and walked towards the cave exit.
It had already been five days since they fled into Dragon Valley. As they saw the sun again, both felt that the sunlight was exceptionally bright yet painfully glaring.
" Ling Kui, if we can escape this time, come with me out of the valley," Li Xiaonan said softly as he gazed at the distant rolling mountains.
Ling Kui was taken aback at first, not understanding why Li Xiaonan suddenly said this. She looked at him; his expression was calm and serene, without a silly smile—just as tranquil as the scenery around them.
The wind lifted their long hair. The astonishment on Ling Kui's face caught Li Xiaonan's attention; he smiled slightly. He knew that through life and death together, Ling Kui had already made space for him in her heart. This kind-hearted girl would one day be his wife.
He chose not to speak further, his eyes revealing a gentle smile as he quietly gazed at Ling Kui.
"I..." Ling Kui began but was interrupted when she noticed Li Xiaonan looking into the distance with a glint in his eyes. Her heart raced as she realized that man had arrived!
Xing Su's clothes fluttered in the wind as he hovered in mid-air, looking down at Li Xiaonan and Ling Kui as if they were ants. Coldly, he said, "You’re still alive! But you won’t be for long." With that, he unleashed a powerful attack aimed at Li Xiaonan and Ling Kui.
Li Xiaonan's expression was cold as he pulled Ling Kui along, flying backward while maintaining a distance from Xing Su.
Xing Su sneered, "Hmph! You think you can escape!"
Li Xiaonan's cultivation level was already lower than Xing Su's, and with another person in tow, the gap between the two groups gradually closed.
Ling Kui frowned and urged, "Let me go! You'll drag me down! I don't want to die yet!"
Li Xiaonan paused for a moment, then tightened his grip around Ling Kui's slender waist, grinning foolishly. "I’ll drag you down! If I die, you die with me!" How could he not understand that Ling Kui was speaking ironically?
He looked ahead as the vegetation thinned out, revealing a sky that was blue and clouds that were white. In the distance, Eastern Ridge Mountain loomed perilously, its cliffs seemingly carved by nature into bizarre shapes.
Narrowing his eyes, he quickly descended while holding Ling Kui. Just as they landed, Xing Su caught up with them. A streak of green light shot toward them. Li Xiaonan shielded Ling Kui behind him and let out a muffled groan as he took a hit from Xing Su to his chest, collapsing to the ground.
A thin mist clouded Ling Kui's eyes as she exclaimed angrily, "I told you to go alone! Why didn't you leave?"
Li Xiaonan shook his head with a silly grin, silently watching Xing Su draw closer. He said softly, "I'm fine. You need to find a place to hide. Hurry!"
Knowing she would only be a burden to Li Xiaonan at this moment, she bit her lip and moved behind a large rock by the roadside.
Xing Su floated down three meters away from Li Xiaonan and coldly regarded him. "You are quite annoying."
Li Xiaonan replied with a smile, "I don't like you either." With that, he struggled to rise, stumbling but eventually managing to stand firm.
Xing Su frowned and asked, "You still want to fight? If you surrender, the Outer Academy will only strip you of your cultivation; they won't harm your life."
Li Xiaonan thought to himself: You think you can make me drop out? Dream on! And strip me of my cultivation? Just watch how I take you down first!
Li Xiaonan laughed so hard that tears nearly came out. He coughed repeatedly and said, "Cough, cough... what a joke." With that, he launched a punch toward Xing Su like an arrow released from a bow.
Xing Su sidestepped effortlessly, causing Li Xiaonan to stumble and fall at Xing Su's feet.
Xing Su sneered, "Hmph! The Martial God Decision, how impressive is that? I no longer care!" With that, he threw his head back and laughed wildly, kicking fiercely at Li Xiaonan beneath him.
Li Xiaonan silently endured the trampling and counted the kicks Xing Su delivered: one, two, three, four...
His eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flick of his finger, his substitute, "Li Xiaonan," suddenly appeared beneath Xing Su's feet, causing Li Xiaonan to roll away to safety.
Xing Su was momentarily stunned. Although he was still stepping on Li Xiaonan, he sensed something was off.
Li Xiaonan lay hidden in the weeds and shouted, "Explode! Explode! Explode!"
Seven Lingxiao Pills and three hundred sixty-one Foundation Pills detonated simultaneously, unleashing tremendous power!
Li Xiaonan grinned foolishly as he watched the mangled Xing Su. Inner Thoughts: So what if you're powerful? You're still dead at my hands!
He felt an immense sense of relief, but the next moment, his smile faded.
Xing Su's legs had been blown off, and his face was a gruesome sight with barely any skin left; one could even see the outline of his skull. Yet on that repulsive face, a pair of stark black-and-white eyes moved.
In excruciating pain, Xing Su screamed, "Ah!" He instinctively unleashed a gust of palm wind. This attack was launched in a daze and naturally missed Li Xiaonan but unexpectedly struck a nearby rock.
Li Xiaonan exclaimed, "Damn it! Calcium oxide!"
He quickly scrambled to retrieve the Ling Kui that had been sent flying, but it was too late.
The Ling Kui had been propelled away from the cliff's edge. As she flew out of Western Ridge, Li Xiaonan caught sight of her faint smile at the corner of her mouth, making his heart feel as if it had been scratched by a cat.
Having exhausted all his True Essence Power when triggering the substitute's explosion, he could no longer fly; all he had were his two legs.
When he reached the edge of the cliff, Ling Kui had already fallen. Without thinking twice, he extended his hand and jumped toward her.
Ling Kui only heard the rushing wind beside her. She had intended to quietly close her eyes and await death but caught sight of that familiar silly grin just before closing her eyelids. Her mouth opened slightly, yet in the end, she couldn't utter a word.
She looked at Li Xiaonan's outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out her own.
Li Xiaonan smiled at her, pulling down with all his strength. Just a little more, and finally, his right hand grasped hers, their fingers intertwining tightly.
With a smile, he pulled Ling Kui into his embrace, wrapping his left arm around her waist. He adjusted his position, turning his back downwards so that Ling Kui was pressed closely against him.
Ling Kui was stunned; before she could say anything, she felt a jolt as Li Xiaonan let out a muffled groan, blood seeping from his mouth.
The two of them landed in that position.
Li Xiaonan felt as if his back had exploded; his insides were shaken out of place. He sighed inwardly: this time, the heroic rescue had gone terribly wrong! No matter how he calculated, he never expected such a dramatic fall off a cliff. He wondered if there was some mysterious cave waiting for him below.
Ling Kui tried to crawl off Li Xiaonan but found that the hand around her waist held her tightly in place.
She stared at him in confusion. "Why... do this?"
Li Xiaonan smiled gently. "Because I like you... Ling'er... what about you?"
Ling Kui froze, feeling as if something had gripped her heart tightly, her eyes filled with mist.
Li Xiaonan waited for a long time but saw that she did not respond. He smiled faintly, closed his heavy eyes, and let his hand slide from her waist.
Tears finally fell from Ling Kui's eyes, dripping onto Li Xiaonan's smiling lips. "I like you! I like Xiao Nan! Don't... die..."
Li Xiaonan suddenly pressed Ling Kui down against him. Though his chest throbbed with pain, it was all worth it.
At that moment, he savored Ling Kui's soft lips and the faint fragrance surrounding her.
Ling Kui dared not move, fearing this was all just a dream and even more afraid of hurting the person beneath her. She began to check Li Xiaonan's body.
Though it was Li Xiaonan's first kiss with a girl, he had been well-educated by various romantic films from different countries. His tongue skillfully pried open Ling Kui's lips and slowly explored inside, a delightful fragrance flooding his mouth…
As the two engaged in a fierce verbal battle, a flash of azure light streaked across the sky, blooming like fireworks high above.
Li Xiaonan's breathing grew heavier, and suddenly… there was an emptiness at the corner of his mouth.
Ling Kui had already sat up, her expression cold as ice.
Li Xiaonan sighed inwardly: This is bad! I got too carried away.
Ling Kui said lightly, "You should regulate your breathing quickly; your organs have shifted. Fortunately, your Dantian hasn't been harmed."
Li Xiaonan chuckled awkwardly, frowning as he attempted to sit up. However, with just a slight movement, he coughed up a mouthful of blood in pain.
Ling Kui frowned slightly, helping him to sit upright cross-legged and gently placing a Lingxiao Pill into his mouth.
Li Xiaonan gave her a silly grin before finally closing his eyes to meditate. The Spiritual Energy released by the Lingxiao Pill nourished every Meridian in his body along with his injured organs.
Ling Kui let out a soft breath beside him, a flush creeping onto her face as if she had been holding something in for a long time. Her clear eyes gazed at Li Xiaonan before she slowly closed them as well, focusing on recovering her True Essence Power.
Today they had triumphed against the odds, but it had been a narrow victory. Both Li Xiaonan and Ling Kui had paid a heavy price.
Of course, they were still winners; not only had they survived, but their relationship had also taken a significant leap forward.
