Ming Li rolled her eyes dramatically, completely ignoring Chu Junmo.
Chu Junmo, ignored, felt a flicker of awkwardness before turning and calling after Ming Li's retreating back, "Miss, haven't we met somewhere before?"
Ming Li: ... Her lips twitched. Of course they had. She was his nominal master. Surprise? Unexpected?
Without looking back, Ming Li continued to walk forward, as if she hadn't heard Chu Junmo at all.
Chu Junmo frowned and strode forward. How could he let such a peerless beauty slip away?
He was the chosen one, after all. Such a stunning beauty must be a heroine or a supporting character prepared for him by the heavenly dao. kanδん
Chu Junmo thought this to himself, his excitement almost uncontrollable.
Chu Junmo quickened his pace, soon catching up to Ming Li and blocking her path.
Ming Li frowned impatiently, her voice chilling as she asked, "What, do you want to fight?"
As she spoke, Ming Li casually took out a sword from her space. Fighting this kind of trash wasn't worth using her silver sword.
Chu Junmo smiled, assuming a dashing demeanor. "Miss, don't be so rude. The moment I saw you, I felt you strongly resembled an old acquaintance of my mother."
Ming Li didn't speak, instead looking at Chu Junmo with the expression one reserved for the intellectually challenged.
Chu Junmo didn't mind Ming Li's silence and continued to talk to himself, "Let's be friends! Come, I'll treat you to a meal!"
With that, Chu Junmo reached out to grab Ming Li's hand.
Ming Li: ... What kind of idiot was this?
He would randomly grab a girl on the street, propose friendship, and invite her to eat? He must think girls were brainless.
Seeing that "salty pig's hoof" was about to touch Ming Li, Ming Li retaliated by hitting Chu Junmo's hand with the hilt of her sword. Chu Junmo's hand almost broke from the impact.
Only then did Chu Junmo notice the sword in Ming Li's hand, recognizing it as no ordinary weapon. As he was about to examine it closely.
Ming Li drew her sword and lunged at him. "If you're going to fight, why talk so much? Are you never going to finish?"
Seeing that Ming Li was serious, Chu Junmo quickly drew his sword to parry. However, he overestimated himself. He couldn't even block a single move from Ming Li before being pinned to the ground and thoroughly thrashed.
Chu Junmo was bewildered. While his cultivation wasn't top-tier, he was still young and could defeat a Spirit Emperor. What was this now? He was being beaten?
Finally, Ming Li misjudged her strength and knocked Chu Junmo unconscious.
Ming Li: Hah, went a bit too hard. My apologies.
Ming Li picked up the fallen sword sheath, sheathed the sword with a slight trace of blood, and returned it to her space.
Ming Li dusted off her hands, her gaze calmly sweeping over the unconscious Chu Junmo, and turned to walk in the direction of Medicine Valley.
The system, with much effort, brought out a box of candles from its small storage and placed them one by one around Chu Junmo, forming a circle. Finally, the system thoughtfully took out a box of matches and lit the candles.
Having finished, the system clapped its little pig trotters and trotted happily in Ming Li's direction.
Ming Li glanced back at the system's creation, her mouth twitching uncontrollably. "Lighting one or two would have been enough. Why light a whole circle? How devious!"
Ming Li raised her hand, picked up the system, and began to lecture, "Lighting one or two would suffice. Why light so many? Is it a waste? Will you need to use my money to buy them in bulk next time? Effectively, this is wasting my money."
The system felt a little guilty, nodding its little pig brain and remaining silent, afraid of angering Ming Li and having no money for candles next time.
