Chapter 422 - 227: Being Manipulated_2

In his heart, besides Xing’Er and Yue’Er, he couldn’t grasp any other woman, including Yu Yunyi.

"Anyway, I don’t care! From now on, I’m yours! When the time comes, I’ll tell everyone I’m one of your Dao companions. If you abandon me, I’ll ruin you!"

As she spoke, Lv Ruoxi reached out and grabbed Li Yunjing’s brother directly.

"Damn! This crazy woman!"

Li Yunjing never expected such a move. He was caught off guard and immediately pinned down, unable to move.

"Let go! Let go! You’ll break it!"

Li Yunjing gritted his teeth. This woman really didn’t know her own strength!

"Hmph! Then tell me, do you agree or not!"

Holding Li Yunjing’s weak spot, feeling its fiery heat like a burning stick, Lv Ruoxi’s pretty face turned crimson. But despite this, she still didn’t let go.

Lv Ruoxi still spoke irritably, but seeing Li Yunjing in pain, she slightly loosened her delicate jade grip.

Seeing Lv Ruoxi’s hand relax, Li Yunjing finally let out a sigh of relief.

"This matter, I need to talk to Yu Yunyi first."

Seeing Lv Ruoxi still staring at him, wanting to know what he was thinking, Li Yunjing felt helpless but still stuck to his decision.

Since Yu Yunyi was already his Dao companion, she naturally had the decision-making power regarding the Li family’s internal affairs. No matter who joined the family, they needed Yu Yunyi’s approval.

"Sigh... Fine! Anyway, your refusal means nothing! I’m yours for life! If you bully me, I’ll tell my teacher and have him castrate you!"

Seeing Li Yunjing’s steadfast attitude, Lv Ruoxi had no choice but to concede a bit, but her face still showed a fierce expression.

"Cough, cough..."

Li Yunjing truly had no way to deal with this witch. She would say anything.

"Right! Sit down, let’s talk serious business!"

Li Yunjing, scared of Lv Ruoxi, switched the topic, speaking seriously.

"Tch..."

Seeing Li Yunjing’s gentlemanly act, Lv Ruoxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes. He didn’t act like this when he was kissing and touching her earlier.

But Lv Ruoxi still obediently sat down.

Lv Ruoxi sat so close to Li Yunjing that they nearly touched.

If either of them moved slightly, they would touch each other’s bodies.

Feeling the enticing little troublemaker, Li Yunjing was helpless.

Recently, for some unknown reason, he was constantly chased by these women. Li Yunjing felt distressed.

"By the way, do you know the sect’s current plan?"

Changing the topic away from those distressing subjects, Li Yunjing focused on the sect’s plan and the frontline situation, hoping to learn some inside information from Lv Ruoxi.

"I know a little! Regarding matters like this, even my teacher isn’t qualified to know the full plan."

Being asked by the person she liked, Lv Ruoxi naturally spoke without reservation, saying everything she knew.

Seeing Li Yunjing listening attentively, Lv Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "I’ll share some things my teacher told me."

"This operation’s plan was developed by the Sect Leader Venerable and several Supreme Elders during a discussion."

"The goal seems to be to crush several opposing forces on the front lines!"

"As for who exactly they will attack, how many troops will be dispatched, how many Golden Core Realm experts and Nascent Soul Realm experts will participate, it’s still unknown."

"Anyway, from what my teacher told me, I only know it’s a large-scale decisive battle."

Finishing her words, a worried look appeared on Lv Ruoxi’s face. She turned to Li Yunjing and said softly, "On the battlefield, don’t be reckless! Just complete your trial tasks, and once finished, immediately request to return to the sect for assessment! Do not stay on the battlefield to fight other forces."

"Alright! I understand! I’m not cultivating anything in the Foundation Establishment Realm yet, so I’m just a bit stronger than during the Qi Refining Realm. I know my own limits."

Seeing Lv Ruoxi’s concerned expression, Li Yunjing’s heart stirred with a faint feeling of sour happiness.

This troublemaker really playing with him?

"No matter! If you’re real, I’m real! If you’re fake, I’m fake too! If you stick around with other men after being with me, I won’t consider you my woman."

This thought flashed through Li Yunjing’s mind.

"I’ll be careful! Don’t worry! By the way, I have a benefit for you! Fu Chao is absent, so for next year’s spring Outer Sect competition, I’ve personally planned it. You and Yunyi will control the overall situation."

Since Lv Ruoxi had given him such benefits, Li Yunjing wasn’t someone who flips on others heartlessly. He decided to pull Lv Ruoxi in, letting her earn some spirit stones with him.

According to his initial plan, he didn’t care about such matters; whoever Yu Yunyi pulled in to join would be fine.

But now, due to Lv Ruoxi, he had to make a change.

"Alright! I’ll secure the profits from the Outer Sect competition’s peripherals for you."

Listening to Li Yunjing, Lv Ruoxi firmly nodded, fully committed to helping him.

"Haha!"

Li Yunjing felt helpless; he wanted to give her some benefits, not for her to spend effort on these random tasks!

But seeing Lv Ruoxi’s determination, persuading her was useless.

Thus, Li Yunjing didn’t say more.

"By the way! This is a Forbidden Artifact from my teacher, take it for protection!"

As she spoke, Lv Ruoxi raised her arm and took off a jade pendant from her neck.

The pendant was carved in a water drop shape, transparent and lustrous with a flowing glow.

Li Yunjing immediately sensed the immense energy contained within and felt a fatal threat.

It seemed breaking this jade pendant would cause the most dreadful thing to happen.

This was Lv Ruoxi’s trump card?

Li Yunjing didn’t take the pendant but looked at Lv Ruoxi and solemnly asked, "What is this?"

"Inside it is sealed a doppelganger of my teacher! Even a regular Golden Core Realm expert would be shattered by my teacher’s doppelganger!"

Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, Lv Ruoxi spoke proudly.

"No way! It’s too precious! This is the life-saving item from your teacher; I can’t accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing hurriedly refused, feeling it was too valuable.

He, a grown man, couldn’t take such a Forbidden Artifact.

Especially since it was from Lv Ruoxi, a woman who admired him!

Li Yunjing had some male pride.

He didn’t want to live by relying on a woman.

After Yu Yunyi helped him so much, Li Yunjing immediately gifted her an enhanced version of the "Cyan Cloud Ship"; an act showing he didn’t want to continuously take advantage of Yu Yunyi.

"What’s this talk? We’re together, our fates intertwined, why differentiate so clearly?"

Seeing Li Yunjing directly refuse, Lv Ruoxi chuckled lightly. Without hesitation, she stood up and placed the necklace around Li Yunjing’s neck herself.

Feeling Lv Ruoxi’s warmth and scent on the jade pendant, Li Yunjing’s gaze towards Lv Ruoxi grew complicated.

"You... I won’t betray you!"

After a long time, Li Yunjing’s heart trembled, and these words summed up his countless emotions.

He hugged Lv Ruoxi tightly.

At this moment, Li Yunjing completely discarded his doubts about Lv Ruoxi.

Someone who could give away such an important Forbidden Artifact—what reason did Li Yunjing have to accuse her of playing him?

A formidable Golden Core Realm expert who had crafted a doppelganger for a disciple to use for protection—a Forbidden Artifact more precious than a Treasure Artifact!

This cherished item was more valuable than everything Li Yunjing had combined and couldn’t be refused.

Li Yunjing felt deeply touched, along with some guilt towards Lv Ruoxi.

Previously, Li Yunjing had misunderstood!

Lv Ruoxi’s feelings for him were genuine.
