Its eyes widened, as if it couldn’t believe what was happening before it—its own father was actually siding with an outsider?
“Awoo?!!”
It let out a pitiful cry, but the Lion King had already turned his head away without even glancing at it.
“Pity the hearts of parents everywhere.”
Ye Shu shook his head with emotion, then picked up the broken tooth from the ground and approached the Little Beast with an evil smile: “Little cutie, do you still dare to talk back to your teacher?”
Pa pa pa—
Under Ye Shu’s continuous whipping, the Little Beast finally couldn’t take it anymore.
With teary eyes, it lay on the ground, wiped away the ‘Husband’ character, and changed it to the ‘Father’ character, but a stubbornness remained in its eyes.
Today I will endure, I will take revenge in the future!
Pa!
Peng!
Outside the wooden cabin, by the riverside.
Sword light flashed, and water splashed everywhere.
A man and a woman were engaged in a fierce battle on the river surface.
The sword light was like a rainbow.
Ye Shu’s gaze was sharp; every step he took kicked up large splashes of water, and every collision stirred up clouds of water mist.
Time flew like a shuttle; a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, he sparred with Lin Qingxue during the day, doted on the Little Beast by teaching it to read and write at night, and then held Little White, telling her bedtime stories.
As for Danxia?
It seemed that his words had stirred her Dao Heart so much that, to this day, she still locked herself in the ring and wouldn’t speak.
“Ha!”
“Chiu chiu!”
The Little Beast was watching the battle from the riverbank.
Whenever Ye Shu was injured by Lin Qingxue, it would arch its back and hiss viciously at Lin Qingxue.
And when Ye Shu hit Lin Qingxue or gained the upper hand, the Little Beast would raise its head and let out excited chirps, as if it were the one fighting.
Peng!
Another intense collision occurred, and the river water surged.
Ye Shu was knocked flying backward.
Although he wasn’t seriously hurt, his disadvantage was obvious.
At this moment, he stood on the opposite bank, silently adjusting his breath.
Lin Qingxue looked at Ye Shu with complex eyes.
In just one short month, Ye Shu had made rapid progress.
Although he was still at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he now vaguely had the momentum to be evenly matched with her.
On the opposite side of the river.
Ye Shu straightened his body, his eyes shining with brilliance.
He slowly raised his right hand, and Spiritual Qi flowed through his acupoints, one by one, into the xiongyuan sword.
The bandages on the sword body fell off naturally, revealing the shattered blade.
Within the crevices of the blade, Spiritual Qi flickered as if breathing, emitting a faint light.
The universe is settled in the chest; one sword breaks mountains and rivers.
Peng!
Ye Shu stomped his foot, and the river water exploded into countless splashes.
His entire body shot toward Lin Qingxue like an arrow released from a bowstring.
“That move again?”
Lin Qingxue was startled.
She could see that Ye Shu had poured all his Spiritual Qi into the xiongyuan sword, leaving only the Qi used for his dash.
If this one strike failed, he would lose!
Facing this strike, similar to the one he slashed at Sect Master Feng Mengli, Lin Qingxue couldn’t help but feel heroic.
Back then, Ye Shu took a hundred Qi-recovery pills, exhausted all his Spiritual Qi to slash out a sword, and was easily blocked by Sect Master Feng Mengli.
Now, he was putting all his remaining strength into this sword strike!
Back then, it was Qi Refining against Soul Transformation, fighting across ranks.
Now it was Qi Refining against Foundation Establishment, still across ranks; if Sect Master Feng Mengli could block it, she, Lin Qingxue, could also block it!
Clang—
The ci yang sword in Lin Qingxue’s hand emitted an excited tremor, and a bright green light surged on the sword body.
She did not retreat!
She wanted to take this full-power sword strike from Ye Shu head-on!
She wanted to use her strength to tell him that no matter how fast you progress, no matter how high your talent is, you are still not my opponent right now!
The two figures approached each other rapidly on the river surface!
Ten zhang!
Five zhang!
Three zhang!
One zhang!
The tips of their swords were about to collide!
Just at this moment—
Ye Shu suddenly smirked.
“I’m going to throw some dust in your eyes!”
“What?”
Lin Qingxue didn’t react in time.
The next second, Ye Shu’s left hand suddenly threw something toward Lin Qingxue’s eyes, and a cloud of white powder instantly flew into her face.
Having been pampered since childhood, how could Lin Qingxue have ever seen such a tactic?
She thought it was something sinister like quicklime and cursed him as despicable in her heart.
She subconsciously closed her eyes and swung her sword to block.
When she opened her eyes again, Ye Shu was already standing in front of her, the tip of his broken sword gently lifting her chin, a smug smile on his face.
“Miss Lin, you can go now.”
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
