"Alright! We've caught that Demoness!"
"Get her! Quickly, get her!"
A group of men shouted excitedly, their faces flushed with excitement. It was clear they had been thoroughly tormented by Fei Ji. A group of men being overpowered by a single Beauty was infuriating.
Now, Li Xiaonan appeared like a deity descending from the heavens, swiftly dealing with Fei Ji, which truly relieved their frustrations.
The men rolled up their sleeves, eager to join in and take her down together.
Li Xiaonan felt a vein throb on his forehead, utterly speechless.
"Everyone quiet down! She's my wife, and she's not quite in her right mind. We're withdrawing from today's Arena competition! Brothers, continue fighting; don't hold back!" Li Xiaonan said as he quickly embraced Fei Ji and jumped off the Arena.
He left behind a group of stunned competitors.
"Xian'er, you're familiar with this place. Find somewhere for me to study this woman," he instructed.
Yuan Xian'er nodded, casting a silent glance at Fei Ji, who was kicking and struggling against Li Xiaonan. She led the group down a narrow street.
The small vendors on either side watched curiously as Li Xiaonan's group passed by—handsome men and beautiful women.
As the sun set in the west, the golden rays of twilight cast a gentle glow on everyone's faces, creating a soft and beautiful scene that captivated the ordinary passersby.
The only slight imperfection in this picturesque moment was the woman in the man's arms. Though her features were exquisite, her expression was cold and sinister, making one feel as if they had fallen into an icy abyss.
"You put me here! You lunatic! Didn't you say I was your wife? Is this how you treat your wife? You cold-blooded animal! Let go of me! Let go of me now!"
Li Xiaonan shot a cold glance at Fei Ji. "If you keep shouting, I'll kill you right now!"
"You..." Fei Ji was taken aback, her flailing legs suddenly stopping, a tear falling onto the hand that tightly gripped her waist.
"Are you really going to kill me? Even though I don't remember who you are, didn't you keep saying I'm your wife? How could you bear to lay a hand on me?" Fei Ji looked at Li Xiaonan with a pitiful gaze, but in her heart, she was calculating. If force wouldn't work, then she'd try a softer approach!
I refuse to believe I can't handle this young brat from the Cultivation world!
Li Xiaonan unconsciously met those misty eyes, swallowed hard, and frowned. "It's useless! You're not Ling Kui; there's no need to act anymore. I can feel the anger in your heart."
"You! How can you be so heartless! On what basis do you say I'm not Ling Kui?" Her once gentle eyes transformed into those of a fierce tiger.
Li Xiaonan sighed inwardly: Why not keep pretending a little longer? Ling Kui, where are you? Don't be afraid; Xiao Nan will come to save you soon! We'll reunite before long!
"Hey! Are you even listening to me?"
Seeing him nod blankly, Fei Ji noticed his bright eyes seemed somewhat hollow, and she grew more frustrated.
"Then at least say something!"
"Uh..." Li Xiaonan replied almost instinctively, his face flushing immediately after. He cleared his throat and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll stuff a stinky sock in your mouth!"
Fei Ji shivered slightly and stopped her fussing, pondering how to change the current situation.
A group led by Li Xiaonan stopped in front of a small courtyard at the end of the street.
The fence was made of vines, the stone path was a calming blue, and the emerald bamboo flanked either side, all surrounding a bamboo building that looked just as it once did.
Li Xiaonan asked in confusion, "Courtyard Moon Pavilion?"
Wasn't this the place where he had made a bet with the fool that day?
Yuan Xian'er sighed softly, recalling that she had sneakily climbed into someone's bed back then. She turned back with a smile, her White Orchid Hairpin glowing softly under the moonlight. "You bought this place back then; now the Courtyard Moon Pavilion is your courtyard."
Li Xiaonan nodded blankly, as if he remembered something like that, but it wasn't him who had bought the courtyard; it was another Li Xiaonan.
The group entered a room on the second floor of the bamboo building. Li Xiaonan used the Binding Immortal Rope to tie Ling Kui to the bed, standing in front of it in a daze.
"What’s next for Xiao Nan?" Li Yanrong asked from behind him.
Li Xiaonan crossed his arms and silently stared at Ling Kui, who was bound tightly. He remained unresponsive for a long time.
Torture? Coercion? It seemed neither would work.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "I don't know..."
The girls swayed slightly, nearly losing their balance.
Li Xiaonan scratched his head and sat down beside the bed, gently asking, "Who exactly are you? Where is Ling Kui?"
Fei Ji rolled her eyes and pretended to be deaf.
"Ah..." A light sigh escaped Li Xiaonan as his hand brushed against her soft, smooth cheek. "Your name is Fei Ji, right? Please, can you give me back Ling Kui?"
She disdainfully turned her head away. "You're talking nonsense! I can't understand a word!"
Li Xiaonan cupped her face with both hands, turning her head to face him. He gazed into her eyes, trying to concentrate the light points from his Spirit Platform as much as possible. His voice became softer and more ethereal. "Fei Ji, where is Ling Kui? Can you tell me, please?"
Fei Ji's eyes gradually lost focus, her cheeks flushing slightly. "I... I... am..." Before she could finish, her eyes closed, and she slumped against Li Xiaonan's shoulder.
Damn it! How come Mental Power combined with Sound Attack still couldn't get any information out of her?
Li Xiaonan helplessly laid Ling Kui down and rubbed his aching temples before leading the other girls out of the room.
"Is Ling Kui okay?" Li Yanrong asked worriedly as she glanced back at the room.
Li Xiaonan shook his head. "Don't worry; she can't break free from the Binding Immortal Rope. You all must be tired too. Let's go next door and rest properly." A wave of fatigue washed over him as he stumbled into the adjacent room.
He rolled onto the bed, sprawled out in a starfish position.
Outside the door, the girls exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
"Come in! This bed is big enough for all five of us!" He patted the empty space beside him and tilted his head invitingly.
The girls smiled at each other, realizing he wanted Obedient Dragon II again, and one by one, they filed in.
Li Xiaonan chuckled lightly, waving his hand to close the door. A gentle breeze swept the four girls onto the bed, kissing each one in turn.
"You've all worked hard these days. Tonight, let's have a good rest..." He spread his arms, comfortably cradling two of the girls.
The girls exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with happiness as they looked forward to being with Li Xiaonan and Obedient Dragon II. Suddenly, a soft snore broke the tranquil night.
Yun Moyu rolled her eyes, sighed, and nestled closer to Li Xiaonan, closing her eyes in an attempt to enjoy long-lost sleep.
Beside them, Yuan Xian'er turned over, intertwining her left hand tightly with Li Xiaonan's right. A sweet smile appeared on her lips as she quietly closed her eyes.
Li Yanrong gently rested her head against Li Xiaonan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. Suddenly, her True Essence Power began to surge wildly within her. At that moment, she was entirely focused on the person beside her, oblivious to her own unusual condition, simply smiling as she gazed at his handsome profile.
Lu Nishang shifted slightly, a radiant smile gracing her face as she quietly wrapped her arms around Li Xiaonan's thigh. Taking a deep breath, she wore a look of contentment.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Hai City appeared exceptionally beautiful. Glimmering glass orbs floated in the air, casting a hazy glow as they absorbed the moonlight.
The Martial Arts Competition did not pause with the arrival of night; instead, it introduced new match formats. Contestants were drawn into pairs for battles while those who had already participated received pills as compensation based on their cultivation levels.
A bamboo house sat quietly in the courtyard, the sound of soft snores resembling a melodious tune that made the scenery around it even more serene.
The emerald bamboos swayed gently beside the stone path, their shadows shifting slowly. In an instant, day turned to night and back again; a strand of pale golden dawn light spilled onto the bamboo house, filtering through the window and casting a glow on Li Xiaonan's face.
He clicked his tongue and furrowed his brow. Just as he intended to turn over and continue sleeping, he realized he couldn't move at all.
Dazed, he opened his eyes and looked down at himself, instantly stunned.
Lu Nishang found herself unexpectedly between Li Xiaonan's legs, lying face down on him.
What the… this…
At a loss for words, a warm current surged toward her lower abdomen.
“Ouch!” Lu Nishang sat up with her eyes closed, touching her delicate mouth, and murmured in confusion, “What is this? It hurts so much…”
Li Xiaonan's face turned red instantly; he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself. He cleared his throat and said, “Wake up! It's time to get up! The sun is shining on your backside!”
The girls groggily got up, Yun Moyu and Yuan Xian'er bumped their foreheads together, while Li Yanrong nearly tumbled off the bed. The scene was both fragrant and chaotic.
“Um… I’ll go check on Ling Kui!” Li Xiaonan dashed out the door. The girls rubbed their eyes and climbed out of bed like dumplings, following Li Xiaonan into the adjacent room.
“Xiao Nan!”
Bound by the Binding Immortal Rope, Ling Kui struggled to get off the bed, causing the chains to clank noisily.
Li Xiaonan frowned, wondering what trouble this woman was up to now.
“Yanrong, Mo Yu, Lu Ni Chang, Xian'er!” Ling Kui called out each name familiar to her from the bed.
Everyone was startled and stared blankly at Li Xiaonan.
He took a deep breath and slowly walked in front of Ling Kui. Looking into her cold eyes, he moved his fingers slightly, causing the Binding Immortal Rope to fall to the ground.
Tears like pearls rolled down Ling Kui's face as she suddenly threw herself at Li Xiaonan, wrapping her arms around his neck and choking back sobs. "It's so good! You're okay, you're okay!"
Li Xiaonan swallowed hard, his hands resting on Ling Kui's waist as he tentatively asked, "Ling'er?"
"…"
She didn't respond, only holding him tightly.
The vast emotion known as "love" surged within Li Xiaonan's Spirit Platform, and he broke into a smile. It was Ling Kui! She was back!
In a swift motion, Li Xiaonan flipped over and pinned Ling Kui beneath him, capturing her delicate red lips with his.
The salty, bittersweet taste lingered between them, making it impossible to tell whose tears they were tasting.
"Beep beep beep…"
Li Xiaonan frowned, feeling a wave of frustration wash over him. Who the hell was calling at a time like this?
With one arm still around Ling Kui, he answered the Big Brother Phone with the other hand. "Hello?"
"Xiao Nan! Something's happened, hurry back to Qingyu City!"
Before he could respond, the caller abruptly hung up. Li Xiaonan stared blankly at the Big Brother Phone in his hand and muttered to himself, "Mom?"
