Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

"How is that possible? You're only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!?"

Fei Pu never expected that Li Bai, who was a whole realm below him, would dare to attack him so brazenly.

Moreover, not only did he make a move, but his sword intent was so strong that even I was somewhat unable to withstand it.

"You're asking for it!"

Enraged, Fei Pu unleashed his Golden Core True Person aura, his violent magical power crashing fiercely against Shen Bai's sword intent.

He wanted to use his magic to crush this arrogant cannon fodder.

A mere sword cultivator recruited as cannon fodder dares to offend me! Die!

"stop!"

Vanka let out a cold shout, and a phantom white-gold demonic tiger appeared behind her. With a roar, Shen Bai's Chongyue Sword Intent and Fei Pu's Golden Core aura were immediately dispersed.

Shen Bai snorted coldly and glanced at Vanka.

He didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes was clear.

Fip snorted coldly, but he knew Vanka was angry, so he dared not make any further provocative moves and turned to leave.

At this point, getting into a conflict with Vanka and this little swordsman would only make me look like I lack class.

There's still plenty of time; we'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him later.

Vanka retracted the platinum-gold demonic tiger behind her, her anger subsiding slightly. She looked at Shen Bai apologetically, "Come in, I'll explain to you."

[Ding! A love rival has been detected with a jealousy level of 60. When the rival's jealousy level reaches 80, you can extract one of their abilities.]

[Ding! Jealousy from Philip +20, current level 80!]

[Ding! Fip's jealousy level has reached 80. You can extract one of his abilities.]

Please select 1 of your rival's abilities from the following list.

[Ability 1: Talent Trinity Convergence]

[Ability 3: Fifth-tier "Heavenly Wounded Heartless Sword", Minor Success]

……

The system notification arrived as expected.

Shen Bai was overjoyed inside, but his face showed a furious expression.

This love rival who barged in unexpectedly presented him with a new talent.

The Three Elements Gathering at the Top allows one's magical power to be stored beyond the limits of the body's original capacity, up to a maximum of three times.

With this talent, Shen Bai's combat endurance will be extended threefold.

One quarter is better than three!

After accepting this new talent, Shen Bai walked into Vanka's office.

The most famous socialite in Rota was also somewhat embarrassed. She explained somewhat uneasily, "Phip is rather arrogant..."

Shen Bai waved his hand and said, "No need to explain. I know that in everyone's eyes, I am just a pawn in the development of Qiyuan Star. Calling me a dog is not wrong."

The more Shen Bai said this, the more guilty Vanka felt. She hurriedly denied it, saying, "No, in my heart, you are even more talented than Fip! I was already preparing to introduce you to my father."

Vanka's words eased Shen Bai's sorrowful and dejected expression slightly, but he was still somewhat gloomy.

"So what? A genius who doesn't grow up is ultimately just an insignificant grain of sand in the long river of history. I might die on Qiyuan Star soon."

By then, I probably won't even be able to see you one last time.

A sense of tragic grandeur gradually spread, leaving even the usually shrewd Vanka somewhat at a loss.

The more calculating a woman is, the more helpless she becomes when faced with a man who genuinely expresses his feelings.

Tell me what tricks you're going to use?

Insincere pretense and hypocrisy?

Unless it's a heartless con artist, most people would be moved.

Moreover, Vanka is not indifferent to Li Bai.

She walked up to Shen Bai and took his hand, saying, "You have to trust me. I will do everything I can to ensure your safety on Qiyuan Star."

Shen Bai shook his head dejectedly, then looked up at Vanka with deep affection: "Instead of wasting manpower and resources like that, why not grant me a request?"

Vanka's heart skipped a beat: "What request?"

Shen Bai gazed at Vanka with deep affection, remaining silent for a long time. After she began to look away, he pressed a warm, moist breath onto her fiery red lips.

Her long, golden hair suddenly flew from side to side.

However, she could not escape Shen Bai's love cage.

……

The next day, Shen Bai appeared outside the Rota Club looking refreshed.

With the negotiations on Qiyuan Star making substantial progress in the past few days, no one has paid attention to me, a mere sword cultivator.

However, instead of returning to Qingbei Taoist Academy or visiting the Sixth Princess, he happily arrived at the teahouse next to the challenge platform with his thirteen female secretaries.

"Li Bai? Wasn't he recruited by the Kingdom of Rota?"

"Didn't you see the thirteen blonde, blue-eyed female cultivators following behind him? I'm so envious. These female cultivators must be the benefits that the Kingdom of Rota promised him?"

"Hmph! A dignified sword cultivator, selling his soul for a few mere women! A disgrace to all sword cultivators!"

"Brother, just say you're envious. I've never ridden a golden-haired, rouge-clad horse in my entire life!"

……

Shen Bai's arrival sparked much discussion among the sword cultivators. While they envied him for becoming the consul of the Luota Kingdom on Qiyuan Star, they were also jealous of the thirteen blonde, blue-eyed female cultivators following behind him.

These thirteen female cultivators were all highly skilled and beautiful, making them excellent potential partners. An ordinary person would be considered extremely lucky to have even one of them, but Li Bai managed to acquire thirteen at once, which inevitably aroused envy.

Meanwhile, Lin Junshan from the East Island and Li Fu, the blue-eyed swordsman from the West Sai Kingdom, looked at Li Bai, who was surrounded by women on both sides, with resentment flashing in their eyes.

That bastard! After taking advantage of me, he turned his back on me. I can't quell my hatred without killing him.

Both of them were severely reprimanded for this incident.

The most beautiful woman on the Eastern Island and the most beautiful horse on the Western Fortress were forcibly taken away by the Kingdom of Luota and given to Li Bai, which was simply a disgrace.

"Should we find a chance to get rid of him?"

Lin Junshan looked at Li Fu at the same table. Li Fu hesitated for a long time, but still gave up: "It's not feasible recently. He was just recruited by the Luota Kingdom and then we killed him. It will be difficult to find someone to take the blame. Even if we frame the Xuanyuan Empire, I'm afraid that woman Wanka will not let it go. She is too domineering."

Let's wait for Qiyuan Star to open. After Qiyuan Star opens, let our people be on Qiyuan Star...

Li Fu didn't say anything more, and Lin Junshan already had a happy smile on his face.

Since we can't get it, your Kingdom of Rota shouldn't expect to benefit either.

……

With a casual glance, Shen Bai saw his subordinates diligently patrolling the area around the challenge platform under Huang Ying's leadership.

After a month apart, Huang Ying, Bai Lu, and the others had clearly made progress in their cultivation.

Seeing the recently famous swordsman Li Bai, Huang Ying showed a look of disdain. How could such a scumbag have such high swordsmanship talent?

But even if you have exceptional swordsmanship talent, so what? You're still far inferior to Shen Bai.

If Shen Bai hadn't been confined to Qingbei Dao Academy and forbidden from contacting the outside world because of the rape/murder case, how could you, a mere sword cultivator, have the audacity to be so arrogant?

The Qianyu and Qianyu sisters whispered among themselves, "Sister Bai, you know, Li Bai isn't even that good-looking, so why are those female cultivators willing to follow him?"

Bai Lu said casually, "What's so strange about that? The cultivation world has never been about looks. Whoever has higher cultivation and stronger swordsmanship will naturally have people attaching themselves to them."

Qianyu, being a chatterbox, was the first to object: "That's not right. I think our general is very handsome, if it weren't for the fact that he already has..."

Qianyu immediately interrupted her: "Qianyu, don't talk nonsense!"

Qianyu immediately stuck out her tongue, Bailu looked at her suspiciously, and Huangying also cast a staring glance at her.

Only Huang Feng, holding a wine gourd, casually asked, "Sister Qianyu, why did you stop talking? What if Shen Bai didn't have something going on?"

Qianyu's face flushed red instantly: "Why are you such a little kid, concerned about so much gossip? Go drink your wine."

Huang Feng hummed a few times, then sighed, "Sigh, life is so boring without Shen Bai around. I really want to have a match with him."

Huang Ying patted his head: "Don't worry, Shen Bai will be free soon. When that happens, be careful that he, your junior, doesn't beat you up until you cry for your parents."

Huang Feng immediately objected: "Hey sis, why are you so biased towards Shen Bai? I'm your own brother! How can you boost someone else's morale while belittling your own?"

Huang Ying smiled without saying a word, but Qian Yu chuckled and said, "If you're as handsome as Shen Bai, don't worry, I'll cheer you on too!"

Huang Feng immediately deflated.

"That's terrible! The entire Qingbei Dao Academy won't find a man more handsome than Shen Bai! Even the Daoist Master's aura doesn't match his!"

The women burst into laughter.

……

Seeing Huang Ying and the others chatting and laughing, Shen Bai was very pleased.

Nestled in Meimei's arms, he sipped his tea while secretly texting the Sixth Princess.

Having been cut off from the outside world for nearly a month, Shen Bai misses everyone very much.

However, the message from the Sixth Princess almost made him spit out the tea in his mouth.

"How about the First Lady of the Eastern Island and the First Rouge Horse of the Western Fortress? Are they exciting to ride?"

"Where have the eleven female cultivators from the Kingdom of Rota gone? Are they keeping mistresses away again?"

"How about Miss Vanka, the top socialite of Rota Kingdom? Isn't she even more fiery than a rouge horse?"

……

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Meimei noticed Shen Bai's strange expression and quickly looked down at him. Shen Bai reached out and patted her plump thigh: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something fun, you can continue."

Meimei hummed in agreement and continued massaging his head.

"Your Highness, my love for you is as clear as the sun and the moon! You must believe me. In order to investigate the murder case, I was trapped in the den of wolves. It was extremely difficult for me to protect myself. Not only did you not pity me, but you also mocked me. I am so heartbroken."

Shen Bai quickly flirted with the Sixth Princess while simultaneously replying to Shen Wenwen's message: "You can't slack off on your cultivation lately."

"Shen Bai, you bastard! We haven't even chatted for two minutes and you're already urging me to cultivate. Don't you even care if I've grown taller or gained weight?"

Shen Wenwen's messages were filled with deep sorrow, but Shen Bai could sense that Shen Wenwen's words were also full of joy.

"How much taller have you grown?"

"I'm 1.62 meters tall!"

"Great! My little sister is finally not short-legged anymore. Keep up the good work and try to reach 1.7 meters tall."

"Also, I'm almost at the third level of Qi Refining!"

"Not bad, not bad. I'll try my best to get promoted by the time I get back."

"Shen Bai, are you just brushing me off? And I saw that Sister-in-law An Li was also secretly sending messages. Were you chatting with her at the same time? You big scumbag!"

"I'm your brother, don't you dare call me a jerk!"

"Pooh!"
