With a loud crash, Li Xiaonan's body slammed into the yellow earth, creating a deep pit as he landed right next to the little thief Yuan Xian'er.
Yuan Xian'er frowned slightly. At first glance, he seemed like a fool, but his expression and the logic in his speech just moments ago were perfectly normal. Her gaze shifted back to the Soul Ring on Li Xiaonan's left hand. She was about to reach out to touch it; well, to be honest, her thieving instincts kicked in, and she wanted to steal something. Just then, Bai Nuo and his group happened to descend.
Bai Nuo furrowed his brow and kicked Li Xiaonan in the pit. Seeing him remain motionless, he coldly turned to Yuan Xian'er and asked, "Do you know him?"
Yuan Xian'er quickly shook her head and took a step back. Having just entered the Nascent Soul Stage, her intuition told her that this man was dangerous.
"Since you don't know him, then leave this place at once!" Yuan Xian'er frowned slightly and turned to fly back toward the city.
Bai Nuo had already made up his mind; regardless of why Li Xiaonan had lost consciousness, this was a perfect opportunity for him to strike. His inner thoughts were clear: this person must not be allowed to live!
One misstep leads to another. Bai Nuo's sudden surge of inner demons couldn't be directly unleashed upon Li Xiaonan, so he targeted the Li Family Fortress instead. He hadn't expected that this kid would thrive in the Outer Academy and unexpectedly become the adopted son of the Grand Elder.
While the Outer Academy wasn't solely controlled by the Grand Elder, his influence was significant. Bai Nuo wasn't foolish; he had to plan for his future.
In another hundred or eighty years, he would also need to transcend tribulation. He utilized all his connections and found Hong Hong from Red Gorge. They had some acquaintance, and he hoped to borrow her strength—or rather, the power of Crimson Cloud Sect—to successfully transcend tribulation.
The two sides were having a pleasant conversation when Li Xiaonan's sudden appearance disrupted everything. Bai Nuo felt utterly disheartened; his prized disciple's future was likely ruined. Thus, for various reasons—new grudges combined with old ones—Bai Nuo's murderous intent reignited. Holding the Thunder Calamity Sword aloft, he slowly raised it before striking down toward Li Xiaonan's Dantian.
A flash of brilliant light intervened and stopped Bai Nuo.
In mid-air stood a man and a woman; the man had spiky red hair while the woman wore a light blue veil, with one white arm exposed.
Just as Bai Nuo was about to explode with anger, he realized they were two Scattered Immortals!
He hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to both seniors from the Azure Dragon Hall of the Outer Academy."
The two individuals were indeed Scattered Immortals from Xiao Hai City. Ever since Li Xiaonan stepped into Xiao Hai City, they had been keeping a close watch on him. Seeing that Li Xiaonan was about to fall, the Ice Maiden took action; if Li Xiaonan died, their mission would fail.
"Fighting is not allowed in Xiao Hai City. You must leave at once," Melt said coldly.
"This..." Bai Nuo frowned slightly, glancing at the pit where Li Xiaonan lay, then smiled and said, "Understood." Just as he was about to take Li Xiaonan with him, the Ice Maiden let out a soft huff, and an Ice Blade sliced across Bai Nuo's hand.
Bai Nuo was instantly furious but dared not explode in anger on the spot; he could only glare fiercely at the unconscious Li Xiaonan.
"Do you not understand what I said? Leave immediately," Melt frowned. This old man was too oblivious; how dare he try to take this prey right under our noses!
Bai Nuo gritted his teeth and after a long pause finally said, "Let's go!"
Once they left, Melt and the Ice Maiden flew to Li Xiaonan's side. The Ice Maiden touched Li Xiaonan's wrist and remarked, "His cultivation has improved so quickly! Just over three months ago, he was still at the Golden Core Stage, yet now he is at the Early Stage of Spirit Separation. There is no one else in the Starry Illusion Continent who can match this speed! He must have some secret; no wonder my brother wanted us to keep an eye on him."
Melt frowned deeply, staring intently at Li Xiaonan's wrist, wishing he could chop it off with a knife. "What do we do now?"
The Ice Maiden shook her head and withdrew her hand. "His True Essence Power is abundant, and there are no signs of injury. How could he lose consciousness? Let's take him back for now." Melt nodded and pulled Li Xiaonan out of the pit as if lifting a chick, instantly transporting him to the highest point in Xiao Hai City, inside a Luminous Sphere.
Li Xiaonan's breathing was steady; he was indeed uninjured. However, he faced the same problem he encountered after meeting Li Yanrong and Obedient Dragon II—his soul and body were disconnected.
At that moment, he had been holding the Carefree Fan, ready to fight Bai Nuo to the death when suddenly his head throbbed, and his consciousness was pulled into his Yuan Ying. His body lost control and fell straight down, fortunately crashing into the ground hard enough to create a large pit without sustaining any injuries.
Now at only the Nascent Soul Stage, Li Xiaonan's divine sense could not leave his body. Thus, apart from being able to see his body's structure clearly, he had lost all connection with the outside world. He was completely unaware that Bai Nuo intended to kill him but was saved by the sudden appearance of two Scattered Immortals, nor did he know anything about their conversation.
Inside Li Xiaonan's Dantian, his Yuan Ying frowned and scratched its head. This won't do; I must break through to the Separation Stage as soon as possible. Right now, I am no different from a blind or deaf person. I need to think of a way quickly; this place is too dangerous. I don't know how that old man Bai Nuo will take advantage of this situation against me. Fortunately, after cultivating the Harmony Technique, my Yuan Ying can also cultivate as if it were a second body.
He formed a hand seal and suddenly stood up, executing a peculiar set of punches. He was using the Martial Soul Technique to refine his body and condense his Yuan Ying. Three days later, he finally broke through to the Separation Stage.
The small Yuan Ying let its arms hang down and exhaled deeply, extending its consciousness outward. It scratched its head, wondering where it was.
Currently, its body lay quietly on a piece of white beast skin. The room was filled with beaded curtains that refracted dreamy light in the sunlight. On a low table by the window sat a crystal ball.
Yuan Ying frowned slightly; this seemed to be a woman's room? Strange. Did Bai Nuo lose his mind? Instead of killing me, did he find me a girl? Or did that old hag think Bai Nuo wasn't as good-looking as me and decided to take me into her harem? Ah! Pfft! The imagination of humans is truly boundless. Li Xiaonan steadied himself and chose to wait quietly for the owner of the room to come in.
In the garden inside the Luminous Sphere, Melt was looking coldly through the window at the still-sleeping Li Xiaonan. "Ice Maiden, this kid has been asleep for three days. Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Ice Maiden shook her head, leaning down to sniff a jasmine plant in the garden. "Melt, what kind of woman do you like?"
Melt's face turned red; he didn't understand why Ice Maiden suddenly asked this question. Stammering, he replied, "Uh... just... someone like you!"
Ice Maiden turned back with a smile, startling Melt. "Is that so? Then that kid inside will probably like you too!"
Melt was taken aback and stammered, "What are you trying to do?"
"Melt, do you really want to remain a Scattered Immortal forever? We both know how that ends. Hehe, rather than having our fate in the hands of others, it’s better to take control ourselves. If I can gain that kid's trust, perhaps the benefits will be even greater, don't you think?"
Melt bit his lip and said, "No way!"
With a gentle wave of her water-blue sleeves, they floated down with the wind—how beautiful she was! She smiled again and said, "It's just a game; we've been together for thousands of years. When have I ever shortchanged you on benefits?"
Melt gritted his teeth; he knew Ice Maiden's nature well. Once she made up her mind about something, no one could change it. This seemed like a discussion but was actually just her informing him. He sighed and could only nod helplessly in agreement.
This was a gamble; what secret did Li Xiaonan hold? Ice Maiden didn't know, but her feminine intuition told her it must be something of great benefit.
Li Xiaonan's Yuan Ying was idly wandering around in the Dantian, a pure land glowing with golden light. Aside from the pink Lotus Seat, there was nothing else. Just as he decided to practice the Martial Soul Technique again, a delicate white hand gently parted the beaded curtain at the entrance.
Li Xiaonan was startled and quickly suppressed his consciousness, pressing it tightly against his body. He had no idea what level of cultivation the newcomer possessed or whether she was friend or foe. If she discovered his consciousness, it would likely lead to trouble for him.
Hiss! Yuan Ying took a breath of nonexistent cool air. The visitor was a woman, tall and graceful, dressed in a flowing water-blue gown that exuded a Bohemian style. Beneath her rounded shoulders was a slender and proportionate arm. She wore a water-colored veil that revealed only her enchanting, elongated eyes. The softness in her brow instantly made Li Xiaonan lower his guard.
Goodness! Even with a veil, she was so striking; one could only imagine how beautiful she would be without it.
The woman seemed to sense Li Xiaonan's thoughts. Seeing that he was still asleep, she removed her veil.
My goodness, could you be any more beautiful?
Her features were beyond description, radiating a purity that was hard to convey in words. Her aura was as gentle as rippling water, and in her eyes, one could see the shimmering surface of a lake gently swaying with ripples.
Li Xiaonan suddenly sat up, startling the Ice Maiden. She softly said, "Little brother, you’re awake?"
I’m not awake! This isn’t me! This was Li Xiaonan's inner voice, but his body was indeed being controlled by another force, moving on its own.
“Li Xiaonan” stared foolishly at the Ice Maiden, who paused in surprise. Inner Thoughts: What’s going on? She smiled gently and asked, “I’m called Ice Maiden; what about you?”
“Li Xiaonan”: “...Hehehe…”
Ice Maiden frowned slightly. She had imagined countless greetings and scenarios for their first meeting but never expected this.
Damn! Why have I turned into an idiot? Could it be!
Li Xiaonan’s heart sank as he felt a chill run through him. Could it be… the original Li Xiaonan wasn’t dead? Was his soul still in this body? Oh no, what should I do now? Yuan Ying began pacing in circles within the Dantian, growing increasingly anxious as he thought about it. How could this happen?
Ice Maiden furrowed her brows and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Li Xiaonan" continued to grin foolishly...
Such a beautiful girl, and all you can do is smile like an idiot? You're really useless! If I could just take you for myself!
It seemed that "Li Xiaonan" heard Yuan Ying's inner thoughts; her expression suddenly turned cold, and she stopped talking, turning on her heel to run out the door.
Hey! Where are you going?
The True Essence Power within him suddenly diminished, causing Li Xiaonan to be startled. Inner Thoughts: This fool can still use True Essence Power. What should I do now?
"Li Xiaonan" dashed out of the Luminous Sphere.
Melt furrowed her brows as she approached Ice Maiden. "What happened?"
She shook her head. "She seems to have suddenly gone blank; it might also be a deliberate test of me." She sighed lightly. "It looks like gaining his trust won't be so easy."
On the bustling street, "Li Xiaonan" hesitated briefly after exiting the Luminous Sphere, then hurriedly ran in a specific direction.
"Hey! Who bumped into me? Is it you again?" Yuan Xian'er frowned, Inner Thoughts: Why am I so unlucky to keep running into this person!
