I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

To everyone's surprise, the water droplets that were blasted out were as heavy as billions of tons, and each drop could cause the earth to sink several meters when it hit the ground, and the high temperature of the lightning could not evaporate them.

More and more water droplets fell to the ground, gradually forming a bottomless pit between Yan Ziming and Qin Di!

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys need to calm down a bit. This is the heart of Bei'an, after all..."

Mo Sheng said helplessly, and waved his hand to unleash the Arctic Celestial Light, which surrounded the battlefield between the two and blocked their destruction of Beian.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, you better catch this one!" Yan Ziming pointed a finger, and the entire arm turned blue-purple, with the veins clearly visible, as brilliant as crystal.

Matching its brilliance was an extremely dazzling attack: countless blue electrons appeared between Yan Ziming and Qin Di, coalescing into a straight line pointing towards Qin Di.

"Holy crap, are you trying to kill me?! I surrender, I surrender!"

Qin Di's domain rapidly disintegrated when it was struck by this light, showing signs of being unable to withstand it.

Keep in mind, this is just the prelude to the attack's condensation; the true power has not yet been unleashed!

This result terrified Qin Di, who immediately surrendered. That attack could have killed someone!

"Tch... What are you afraid of, you grown man? With Senior Mo Sheng here, what could possibly happen?"

Yan Ziming said disappointedly that Qin Di had given up before she had even condensed half of her upgraded version of Radiant Mortal World. She was extremely sad.

Qin Di's lips twitched with anger. Even with Mo Sheng around, he couldn't act so recklessly. What if something really happened?

"The challenge is over. Do you have any complaints now?" Mo Sheng announced the final result of the challenge, and all the participants fell silent without any objection.

Actually, they didn't really want to get involved in the troublesome position of captain. They just felt that Yan Ziming was not up to the task. They would rather use their time to improve their own strength or gather intelligence on the opponents than to be busy with the team.

Chapter Seventeen: Various Misunderstandings

The battle ended quickly. It seemed simple, but the outcome was decided the moment the boundary appeared.

In battles between high-level ability users, the realm is the most important standard for judging strength. Once the realm is inferior to the opponent's, one is at an absolute disadvantage and it is very difficult to turn the tide.

Although Qin Di has forged his own path, he has only just broken through to the seventh rank. His use and understanding of the realm are far inferior to Yan Zimo's, not to mention that the two are at different ranks.

"How could you do that? If I hadn't surrendered in time, you probably would have killed me!" Qin Di said irritably.

And what did she mean by "not letting my efforts go to waste"? What did I put in? I just wanted to test my abilities!

"Loser eats the dust. Stop talking nonsense. A loss is a loss."

"I'm so angry—" Qin Di was furious and stopped talking altogether.

"Big sister is so cool!" After finishing her crushing victory over Qin Di, Ye Qianxue was the first to rush forward and flatter Yan Ziming, followed closely by Mo Xin, who said, "Captain~ Please give me your guidance in the doubles match!"

"Smooth talker!" In a great mood, Yan Ziming gently pinched Yang Yeqianxue's cheek with his left hand, while pinching Mo Xin's cheek hard with his right.

"You little brat, how dare you say that? You signed me up without my permission, did you think I wasn't eye-catching enough?"

"Ouch—it hurts! Let go! Master, help me..." Mo Xin patted Yan Ziming's hand while pitifully begging Liu Mengxian for help.

"You seem quite happy," Liu Mengxian teased Mo Xin first, then said to Yan Ziming, "A little playful fighting is fine, but you have to know when to stop. Don't bully her, she's still your daughter after all."

Holy crap?! A daughter?!

Qin Di was terrified. This national goddess, who was just beginning to gain public attention, had actually been defiled by some beast? And she even had a daughter!

After taking a closer look at Mo Xin, I realized that she was about twelve or thirteen years old, while Yan Ziming was only nineteen. What kind of bastard was so depraved as to attack the young Yan Ziming at that time?

He deserves to be executed ten thousand times over!

"What are you thinking? It's not what you imagine!"

Seeing Qin Di's obviously misunderstanding expression, Yan Ziming felt a toothache.

With so many relationships to speak of, why does Xian'er insist on calling her her daughter? It's too easy for people to misunderstand!

She's only nineteen years old and already has such a big daughter. What will people think? Her lifelong reputation will be ruined in an instant.

"But she..." Qin Di looked at Liu Mengxian, who was shrouded in mist, and hesitated to speak.

"She... um... actually, Mo Xin is her daughter, no—"

“It’s your daughter and mine,” Liu Mengxian emphasized again.

Oh my God! ! !

Xian'er, what are you saying in front of others?!

Yan Ziming's lips twitched, her face as black as the bottom of a pot. Now she was completely misunderstood, the kind of person who couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"Master Mo, you...you...you—?! I never thought that Master Mo wasn't satisfied with having Sister Qianxue and Sister Mumu, he also wanted...!!! Could it be that I'll be included in the future...?"

"You're the only one who absolutely won't! Dream on!" Yan Ziming roared, wanting to tear Tiantian apart for stirring things up at this crucial moment!

"She's your daughter?!"

"Who is it again? Don't talk nonsense!" Yan Ziming turned around and said frantically. When he saw who it was, he froze and started sweating.

"Hey, hey~ Mu Mu, listen to me, this is just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

Yan Ziming was terrified. Letting this extremely controlling and sadistic man find out she had a daughter—no, she didn't! Either way, it was going to be awful.

What Yan Ziming is most worried about now is that, given Mu Mu's fiery temper, she might start fighting with Xian'er on the spot!

In the end, it will inevitably end in Mu Mu's defeat, and even if things are explained clearly afterward, they will never be able to get along harmoniously again.

"Hmph~~ Misunderstanding? I'll believe you for now..." Mu Mu turned her head slightly, a few blushes appearing on her face.

A sense of crisis compelled Yan Ziming to prepare countless excuses, but Mu Mu's single sentence rendered all of them unnecessary, leaving Yan Ziming utterly shocked.

Who is this guy?

Why does this unknown creature blush?

She was acting strangely yesterday too, and it seems she hasn't recovered yet.

"Master...Sister?"

Ye Qianxue called out uncertainly, afraid that she had mistaken someone for someone else.

"What's wrong, my dear disciple?"

"Oh! It really is... Master Sister, you don't look quite right in the mirror?"

"Really? Tell me what's wrong."

"It's that you blush so often." Mo Sheng walked over, affectionately put her arm around her shoulder, and whispered, "Tell me honestly, do you have someone you like? Is it Yan Ziming?"

"Eek—!" Mu Mu pushed away Mo Sheng's face, which was pressed against hers, and the blush on her face became even more intense.

"Tell me, tell me what you're saying! I—" Mo Sheng covered her mouth with his hand and said, "Stop pretending. Your face turns as red as an apple the moment Yan Ziming is mentioned. Anyone can see that! Tell me the truth, is it true or not?"

"...Yes." Mu Mu admitted hesitantly, while Mo Sheng smiled knowingly.

Once this is settled, things will be much easier. During the Civilization Cup, I can use my position as the person in charge to create opportunities for the two of them to be together.

Little did she know that her best friend Mu Mu had already developed an inseparable and close relationship with Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue, a relationship that was progressing beyond her wildest imagination!

It's just that she's been acting strangely lately, blushing whenever she sees Yan Ziming, which led Mo Sheng to speculate.

While Mo Sheng was whispering to Mu Mu, Yan Ziming pulled Liu Mengxian aside and pleaded, "Xian'er, my fairy sister, could you please not say such things that are so easy to misunderstand in public?!"

“Strictly speaking, Xin’er is your and my daughter. What’s there to deny?”

Liu Mengxian said noncommittally, but Yan Ziming's reaction was even more intense: "Then don't say such things in front of others. Say she's my sister, I'm begging you, Grandma!"

"If you don't like it, then I won't say anything more."

Liu Mengxian's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Yan Ziming's heart.

"Uh...Xian'er, are you angry?"

"I've lived this long and seen all sorts of storms, I'm not so easily angered."

Liu Mengxian's voice was calm and emotionless.

Although she always spoke like that, this time, Yan Ziming sensed something was off.

Hmm... I have a feeling she's lying.

What exactly went wrong...? Xian'er has always been unconventional, never offering much explanation for anything, doing whatever she wants...

Ah yes! This is it!

She doesn't offer much explanation for anything. When I asked her if she was angry, she would normally have answered with a simple "no," but this time it was different.

That's true... Xian'er repeatedly emphasized her mother-daughter relationship with Mo Xin, which she had denied many times, so it was inevitable that she would be angry.

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something strange," Liu Mengxian said softly, tapping Yan Ziming's forehead.

She was genuinely not angry. Just as she said, having lived for so long, it was difficult for anything to stir her emotions unless she wanted to. Yan Ziming was simply overthinking things.

That finger gesture jolted Yan Ziming back to her senses. She came to her senses and asked seriously:

"Xian'er, are you really not angry?"

"Really do not have."

"...That's good. I don't know what I would have done if I had really made you angry..." Yan Ziming breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you really make me angry, would you be willing to do anything for me?"

Liu Mengxian suddenly posed a question that was difficult for ordinary people to answer, catching Yan Ziming off guard.
