35: It would be better if you put some cream on it.

His hands wrapped around her waist, and above them, spectacular peaks rose and fell, greatly pleasing Xu Xi's eyes.

He had to admit, this woman really put on a show.

Beautiful, love to see, more to see!

His heart swelled with joy, but then he put on a disdainful expression. Xu Xi, never one to let an opportunity pass, said indifferently,

“Tch!”

“I’ve long known what kind of person you are.”

“A rotten orange is a rotten orange…”

A classic saying came out. Xu Xi was very good at using memes; the words circulated on Blue Star flowed seamlessly here.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll give you one more chance.”

“However… let me make one thing clear first.”

“Third time’s the charm, but if you still don’t admit it the third time, then this young master can only say you have a thick skin.”

As he spoke, Xu Xi knew the other party would definitely take the bait.

He quietly waited for her response. Sure enough, upon hearing Xu Xi’s words, Ling Ning霜, who had been frowning with an unbalanced heart, immediately became interested.

Then she nodded like a pecking chick, afraid Xu Xi would go back on his word, and said impatiently,

“Good, you said it! This time I’ll make you lose convinced!”

“We’ll compete in alchemy. I don’t believe you can surpass me in this!”

Ling Ning霜 smiled confidently, having one hundred percent certainty. This time, the advantage was hers!

Her head held high, her proud face was particularly striking and beautiful under the sunlight. If only he could spread some “cream” on it, that would be a beautiful thing.

“If that’s the case, then let’s go. I’ll make you lose convinced.”

Ling Ning霜 successfully took the bait, and Xu Xi naturally had to reel her in.

He then led the way into the city, heading straight for the Spirit Herb Shop within Wangshi Dam.

There, alchemy rooms were available for rent, a means for those Spirit Herb Shops to earn some extra money.

Because alchemists couldn't be refining pills every moment, renting out alchemy rooms was necessary for more efficient use.

It must be said, those businessmen really wouldn't miss any opportunity to make money.

“You brat, you still dare to appear before me!”

“Quick, seize him for me!”

“Whoever can capture him, I will reward him with 50 low-grade spirit stones and a Five-Grade Half-Awakening Soul Returning Pill!”

As luck would have it, Xu Xi hadn't gone far when Yang Rui, the eldest young master of Tianbao Pavilion whom he had taught a lesson last night, blocked his path.

His body was as bloated as ever, and his pig-like face was still as repulsive.

However, unlike usual, today Yang Rui’s legs were spread apart and couldn't close, clearly indicating that the surgery Xu Xi performed on him last night was very successful, and the patient was still in the recovery phase.

Yang Rui was already in a bad mood. Last night, upon returning, he was first scolded by his father, Yang Erhe, and then protected by stronger guards.

This time, Yang Rui came out not only to relax but also to find Xu Xi in the city to avenge last night's emasculation.

Now seeing Xu Xi, it was like enemies meeting, their eyes burning with hatred.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to act, promising generous rewards.

Yang Rui wasn't too worried that his guards would fail, because the two guards who accompanied him were both at the peak of the fifth-stage Spirit Refinement realm, only a step away from entering the Spirit Forming realm!

In Yang Rui's opinion, no matter how powerful Xu Xi was, he couldn't be a match for a Spirit Refinement realm expert in a single exchange.

“Heh, I didn’t expect you to have enemies here at Wangshi Dam.”

Just entering Wangshi Dam and seeing this scene, Ling Ning霜 looked at Xu Xi playfully, feeling a bit schadenfreude.

Seeing Xu Xi get flustered was the most gratifying thing.

“It seems you’re not so great after all. You can even be mocked in the territory governed by your own sect.”

“Indeed, the declining Xuanjian Sect is no longer enough to convince others.”

Another taunt. Ling Ning霜 felt that the previous taunts weren't enough, so she went straight for a full-on attack.

Because Ling Ning霜 clearly knew how much destructive power these words held.

Who wouldn't be furious if they were slapped in the face in their own home?

“It’s you again, fatty. It seems the lesson I gave you last night wasn’t enough.”

“Since you’ve come to provoke me, I have no need to back down. Get lost!”

Frowning, he had originally planned to quickly subdue Ling Ning霜 to have a good fight and relax tonight, but he didn't expect a spoilsport to appear.

Xu Xi also felt quite annoyed, like a sky covered in dark clouds.

The Drunken Sleep Sword appeared in his hand, and he immediately repelled Yang Rui's two guards who were preparing to attack him.

That wasn't enough. Where Xu Xi's sword blade went, the two men were directly slit in the throat, then fell to the ground, twitched, and died.

The actions were fluid and seamless. Even Yang Rui, who was arrogant and preparing to severely teach Xu Xi a lesson, didn't expect the battle to be over before it even began!

“This… how is this possible? Yang Qiu and Yang Ming were both at the peak of Spirit Refinement!”

After a long moment of stunned silence, Yang Rui finally reacted, yelling unwillingly, still refusing to believe what he saw before his eyes.

“Thud!”

Falling directly to the ground, Yang Rui’s legs had turned to jelly. Then, a foul odor rushed into Xu Xi’s nostrils. This familiar smell, Xu Xi immediately recognized as feces and urine.

“How disgusting, he even peed himself from fright.”

“But… you had your third leg broken by me, and you can still pee. I must say, your family’s alchemist has some skill.”

Waving his hands in front of his nose to avoid the pungent smell, Xu Xi didn't hold back his mockery.

“Alas, how truly tragic. I didn’t expect Yang Rui to have such a day. It’s like heaven has opened its eyes and finally cleaned up this menace.”

“Exactly, exactly. Yang Rui deserved to die, but now living a life worse than death, my heart feels even more relieved!”

“Good scolding! This scoundrel Yang Rui, relying on his status, committed evil deeds all day long. He finally got his retribution!”

As Xu Xi acted, the surrounding onlookers' words also stung Yang Rui with every sentence.

How could Yang Rui, who was arrogant and accustomed to throwing his weight around, endure such humiliation? He immediately spat out fresh blood, then fainted, losing consciousness.

“He’s already spitting blood?”

“His mental fortitude needs improvement. He went red so quickly. If he were in the anti-pressure bar, he wouldn’t even meet the entry-level standard.”

Witnessing Yang Rui collapse, Xu Xi felt no ripple in his heart, but rather found it somewhat amusing.

“Bastard!”

“I didn’t expect it was you who injured Rui’er. Today, if I don’t tear you to pieces, I am not surnamed Yang!”

“One Laugh Human Palm!”

Xu Xi hadn't been happy for long when another booming voice came.

Accompanying it were powerful and forceful bursts of energy.

If he were hit unexpectedly, it would likely not feel good.

“?”

“This is… the elder coming after the younger one?”

Turning his head, Xu Xi immediately reacted. He swung the Drunken Sleep Sword, neutralizing the energy, and his eyes held killing intent.

That strike just now, if Xu Xi hadn’t been careful, he might really have died on the spot.
