son, don't mess around

It's quiet at night.

In the guest room by the window on the third floor of the inn.

The room was deserted, with a faint scent of incense lingering around. The lamp on the table flickered, dimly illuminating the room.

A snow-white figure was sitting beside the table, her cold eyes fell on the table, staring at it quietly for a long time.

On the table, there is a roll of rice paper. Under the light, densely packed words can be vaguely seen.

The graceful figure in white stared at the table for a long time, motionless as if in a trance.

That snow-white and graceful figure appeared extremely slender under the light. She sat upright and elegantly, with jet-black hair falling to her waist. Beneath the hair was a cold and beautiful face.

At this moment, he had a blank expression on his face, staring at the table, as if he was extremely serious.

This went on for a long, long time, as if I was trapped in some mysterious state, with my thoughts wandering.

Finally, as the lights in the room gradually burned out and dimmed, the figure in white in the room finally came to her senses.

She stood up and relit the lights in the room. As the candle on the table lit up again, the graceful figure in white slowly stretched out her slender, snow-white hand, picked up the rice paper on the table and placed it on the candle.

Soon, the candle flame touched the rice paper, and the flame burned and spread rapidly on the rice paper. After a short while, the rice paper was burned clean, leaving only black dust on the table.

Li Piaomiao, who had been in a trance the whole time, finally raised his eyes.

"I see."

It was like whispering to oneself, as if solving some of the deepest doubts in one's heart.

A sharp light seemed to burst out from those cold and beautiful eyes.

She suddenly stood up and picked up the 'Silver Moon' sword displayed on the shelf nearby.

The next second, the figure in white disappeared from the spot and passed over the windowsill.

At this moment, it’s dead of night.

Outside the town, in an open space among the woods.

The dim moonlight sprinkled between heaven and earth, dimly illuminating the world, while the woods and grass in the distance were pitch black.

The dark night makes people feel an indescribable numbness in their hearts!
Li Piaomiao, a graceful figure in white, appeared in the open space and stood quietly in the center of the space.

She slowly closed her eyes, as if entering a state of meditation again, and fell into a long period of contemplation. The surroundings continued to be silent, as if she was the only lone figure left in the world.

The gentle evening breeze blew her skirt and also made her long black hair that fell to her waist fly.

And that cold face without any emotion seemed extremely peaceful.

Finally, after a long time, Li Piaomiao suddenly opened his eyes.

A sharp gleam seemed to flash across her eyes, and at the same time, the temperament of this graceful figure in white suddenly changed.

"Qiang!"

The sound of a sword being unsheathed.

Crisp, pleasant, and extremely sharp.

Under the moonlight, Li Piaomiao drew the Silver Moon Sword in his hand. The moonlight was cold and the sword was sharp, as if surrounded by a layer of cold light. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the creepy coldness continued to spread.

What followed was the sudden condensation of the aura between heaven and earth.

The silver moon sword in Li Piaomiao's hand trembled slightly at this moment. The aura around her continued to spread, and a chill came over her.

An increasingly terrifying aura lingered around her and gathered on the blade of the sword.

The graceful figure in white raised the sword and slashed out!
In an instant, the coldness of the sword suddenly swept across heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

In the woods far ahead, large tracts of towering trees that blocked out the sun collapsed with a loud bang, and a sharp aura spread through the forest.

But the sword in the hands of the beautiful figure in white did not stop. The moment the first sword was swung out, the second sword followed.

The power is stronger than the first sword!
"Boom!"

The explosion sounded again, and an extremely deep sword crack suddenly appeared on the open space in front of him. The sharp sword energy was everywhere, raising a cloud of dust.

The third sword, the fourth sword...

Each sword is faster than the last, and each sword is more powerful than the last.

The graceful figure in white leapt between heaven and earth, the Silver Moon Sword in her hand burst out with dazzling silver light, and sharp sword energy flew out of her hand, enveloping the entire world.

Until the ninth sword was suddenly slashed out, it seemed as if the sky and earth changed color, the surrounding ground shook violently, and no grass grew anywhere in sight.

The terrifying sword energy spread all around and did not dissipate for a long time.

The white figure walking in the air finally landed on the ground silently.

At this moment, that beautiful face became a little paler, her breathing became extremely rapid, and a few beads of sweat appeared on her delicate forehead.

Obviously, the internal strength has been severely depleted.

When these nine swords were thrown, they almost drained all her internal energy. The loss of internal energy was simply too huge!
Li Piaomiao stood there, breathing rapidly, frowning, as if thinking about something.

This is still a little bit wrong.

Although these nine swords are extremely powerful, the amount of internal energy they consume is simply too staggering!

Once these nine swords are swung out and fail to kill the enemy, her internal energy will be severely depleted and her strength will definitely be greatly affected.

This is definitely not the power that the Nine Swords should have...

She frowned quietly, pondering the details and what might have been missed.

Was it that she failed to fully comprehend the last move of the Nine Sword Techniques, or was it that this move was originally incomplete?
After thinking for a long time, her pale face relaxed slightly and her breathing gradually became calmer.

Then, she slowly raised her head and looked around.

At this moment, the surroundings had already turned into ruins.

Countless large and small potholes appeared on the ground around her, as well as sword marks left by sword energy, almost tearing the entire ground apart.

There were almost no traces of trees in sight. Under the terrifying power of the Nine Swords, almost all the trees around were destroyed.

The air was filled with a strong smell of burning, and many of the broken trees around were on fire.

Looking at this scene, even if one's mind is extremely calm, one cannot help but be slightly moved by this horrifying scene.

The power of these nine swords is truly terrifying.

Li Piaomiao stared at him quietly for a long time, then gradually withdrew his gaze, sheathed his sword, and turned away.

……

Late at night, the town gradually fell into silence.

The lights in the inn were still bright.

The innkeeper and the waiter disappeared, and only the guards hiding in the dark and keeping watch were left around the inn.

Li Piaomiao, dressed in white, walked into the lobby of the inn. Just as she was about to go upstairs, she raised her eyes and met a pair of beautiful eyes.

In the corner of the lobby, a young woman was sitting quietly, looking at her calmly.

The two looked at each other, and no one spoke.

It was not until Li Piaomiao was about to go upstairs to leave that she heard a cold voice.

"Why don't you come and sit down?"

A very calm tone, inviting her.

Li Piaomiao paused, stood there for a moment, raised his eyes and stared at the woman in the corner: "What's the matter?"

The voice was neither cold nor indifferent.

"It's nothing."

The woman's eyes were gentle, with a relaxed smile: "I just suddenly wanted to talk to you... Are you free?"

Li Piaomiao stared at her for a long time, then walked to the corner and sat down opposite her.

"What to talk about?"

The voice was still indifferent, without any emotion.

Liu Su looked normal, his eyes fixed on the Silver Moon Sword that the eldest princess placed on the table.

It was faintly visible that there was still some "momentum" left on the sword's edge, and the princess's internal energy, which had not yet completely subsided, seemed to have expected something. She sighed softly: "You, have already entered the realm of a first-grade master?"

Li Piaomiao remained noncommittal, neither answering nor denying.

But Liu Su already knew the answer.

"Before, I was always very dissatisfied with you."

Liu Su said softly.

As the Holy Maiden of the Celestial God Religion, and as an extremely outstanding master with a high talent for martial arts who has already entered the second level at a young age, Liu Su naturally has her own pride.

Naturally, he felt a little dissatisfied with this famous princess.

However, these resentments gradually disappeared after she saw the eldest princess in person.

...She is simply a genius born for martial arts!

Even Liu Su, who had been unconvinced in the past, could not help but remain silent after realizing that the princess in front of her had entered the realm of a first-grade master at such a young age.

"Now it seems that I underestimated you."

Liu Su spoke from the heart.

She looked at Li Piaomiao in front of her, and there was no hostility in her eyes.

Li Piaomiao remained silent and did not speak.

Maybe I don’t know what to say.

"However, you are indeed just as the rumors say, not quite like a normal person." Liu Su said softly.

Li Piaomiao glanced at her coldly and still didn't speak.

"I really don't know what he likes about you."

Liu Su looked up and down at the princess in front of her. She was not familiar with Li Piaomiao, but she could tell what kind of person the princess was.

But, could someone with her personality really attract that guy's interest?
When her eyes fell on the cold and beautiful face in front of her, Liu Su seemed to have the answer in her heart.

Li Piaomiao still had no expression on her face. She stared at Liu Su in silence for a long time, then suddenly asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Like a cold tone.

"It's nothing."

Liu Su lightly shook her head: "I just couldn't sleep at night, and wanted to talk to you... After all, we are rivals in love, right?"

At this point, Liu Su suddenly smiled at her; "Tell me, should I maintain the proper hostility towards you?"

Li Piaomiao glanced at her coldly: "If everything is fine, I'll go back to my room!"

After saying that, she grabbed the sword on the stone table, stood up and prepared to leave.

"I won't give him to you."

Behind me, Liu Su's soft voice came.

The voice was very soft, but it seemed to carry some strange emotions.

Li Piaomiao paused slightly.

"he's mine."

The voice was serious and resolute.

"I'll take him away."

"..."

Li Piaomiao didn't say anything, nor did she look back. She just left the lobby and went upstairs.

Liu Su was left sitting there, her beautiful eyes quietly watching the eldest princess's departing back.

After a long time, she slowly withdrew her gaze, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, she murmured to herself as if mocking herself: "What am I doing?"

"To provoke your love rival?"

Having said this, she raised her head slightly, looked up at the inn, and whispered softly: "This is all I can do to help you. I hope... you won't let me down!"

"But when the time comes, don't lose face in front of that woman..."

"..."

early morning.

A ray of sunlight slowly penetrated the window paper and fell into the room.

In the gloomy room, on the wooden floor, one could vaguely see messy clothes thrown everywhere.

The bed not far away in the room was in an even more disarray.

The bedding was messy, and underneath the bedding, three vague figures were intertwined.

There was silence all around, until an unknown amount of time had passed, and then a pair of eyes slowly opened.

When he opened his eyes, they were still a little confused and dazed.

This, where is this?

His dazed eyes habitually scanned the surroundings, slowly taking the surrounding scenes in. Immediately afterwards, a flood of memories gradually awakened and flooded into his head.

Then, these dazed eyes suddenly froze!
It was as if he suddenly froze in place for a long time. Then, his eyes gradually opened wider, as if some light was gradually illuminating him.

At this moment, these eyes seemed to have discovered something. They looked up and happened to meet another pair of eyes that were also a little confused.

They looked at each other, staring at each other, and there was a brief moment of confusion!

What followed was a sudden emergence of expressions of fear, shame, and anger.

"you……"

Just as these eyes were about to speak, they were suddenly covered by a hand.

"Shh..."

An anxious and embarrassed voice sounded, pointing to the side.

When these eyes looked over, they saw a man sleeping soundly between the two of them.

In an instant, those eyes suddenly widened, and the feeling of shame and anger could not be suppressed no matter what.

But at the same time, he almost instinctively covered his mouth.

Then, she suddenly raised her head and glared at the person opposite her, as if she remembered what happened last night, feeling ashamed and angry.

The same thing happened to the person opposite her. Their faces gradually turned red with shame and they confronted each other, neither of them giving in.

As they confronted each other, the two seemed to be competing with each other again.

At this time, the two of them realized that... they were not wearing any clothes yet.

At this moment, as the quilt slid off, the two of them were suddenly frank with each other.

A blushing feeling instantly emerged on their faces, and they both looked away at the same time, not bothering to confront each other anymore, and began to look around frantically for clothes.

However, the clothes from last night had been thrown away after the intense exercise. The two searched for a long time, being very careful not to wake up the man in the bed.

The result was that one of them was missing a bellyband or underwear, or they took each other's clothes. When they finally put on their clothes, they were still in disarray, as if they had been humiliated... It seemed that it was almost the same.

After putting on their clothes, the two began to confront each other again, glaring at each other with angry expressions on their faces.

I am extremely ashamed and angry!

Until they realized it was getting late and if they didn't get up they would be discovered by others. Then they exchanged glances and agreed... get up first!

So, the two of them carefully climbed out of the bed one after another, put on their shoes and socks, and moved to the door of the room.

They quietly pushed the door open and looked outside. After confirming that there was no one in the corridor, the two of them pushed the door open and walked out like guilty thieves.

When the two walked out of the room and came to the corridor, they looked back and their eyes met, and suddenly a raging fire began to burn.

"Fox spirit, I'm not done with you!"

Xu Lan's voice was filled with shame and indignation, as if she had suffered a great humiliation, and she looked like she was ready to die together with the other party.
