"As long as you and the Holy Sound Sect do not betray me or the Shenxiao Dao Sect, our relationship will naturally remain this good!"
Li Yunjing nodded, he understood now. A woman like Liao Wanqing could never be like Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, XingâEr, or YueâEr.
In Li Yunjingâs mind, perhaps Liao Wanqing is equivalent to Zhu Wanyun, but a tier lower than Liu Ruyan?
Liao Wanqing did not realize that, amidst their conversation, Li Yunjing had downgraded her.
Li Yunjing had only one attitude towards women: if you are good to me, I will treat you doubly well!
Want to get a reward from me first?
That is not possible!
He would never give any woman benefits just to sleep with her.
The words "submissive sucker" do not exist in Li Yunjingâs dictionary!
Even as a last resort, he would rather use fraud or coercion than willingly offer benefits to other women.
That would be far too unfair to the women he truly favored.
Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, XingâEr, YueâEr, those four women had given so much for Li Yunjing.
He well knew this.
As for the present Liao Wanqing, well, forget it. If she does not wish to follow him, they can just be regular friends in the East Sea.
Liao Wanqing did not detect the sense of distancing in Li Yunjingâs words.
As night fell deep and long, after the storm had passed, Liao Wanqing wore a dress as thin as a cicadaâs wings. Her black, soft hair casually draped over her fragrant shoulders, leaning against Li Yunjingâs chest, savoring the passionate moments from the day before.
"Brother Jing, youâre amazing!"
The gentle and refined Liao Wanqing, eyes flickered with charm, seductive light emanating, her moist red lips slightly parted, looked complexly at her first man.
"Haha! Iâm pleased to serve you!"
Li Yunjing chuckled, gently stroking Liao Wanqingâs beautiful, soft hair, speaking meaningfully.
After the storms, Liao Wanqing had gained the mature and alluring charm of a married woman.
As Li Yunjingâs hand roved over that pale skin, it felt like caressing mutton fat jade, the touch extremely delicate and smooth.
"Then letâs battle once more! You know, after this, I will enter seclusion to break through realms, and surely wonât have the chance to meet my lover for three to five years!"
Liao Wanqing laughed coquettishly, her jade-like arms wrapping around Li Yunjingâs neck, her ivory long legs coiling around his waist.
"Alright!"
Li Yunjing laughed, looking at Liao Wanqingâs seductive demeanor, gripping her slender waist, savoring her infinite allure...
Seven days later, Li Yunjing left.
As for the beauty, she had left long ago; Liao Wanqing had reached the time to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
Li Yunjing first checked the business status of the "Star Moon Trading House No.5" and was quite satisfied with Ma Xingyuanâs management.
"Fatty, be careful! Maintain the shopâs business well, donât keep orbiting around women every day!"
Li Yunjing advised: "If you donât listen, donât say I didnât warn you. Once youâre demoted to a helper, donât blame me for not being loyal!"
"Heh heh!"
Ma Xingyuan was startled, then laughed, "Young Master Li, do you think Iâm foolish?"
"I, too, am not one to throw away the bait without seeing the rabbit!"
"Those women donât let me take advantage, I wonât give them Spirit Stone Flowers!"
"Itâs all just a game!"
"Compared to those pretty little girls, I prefer the seafood of âHoly Sound Island.â There are too many Tier Two and Tier Three Demon Beasts here, each incredibly delicious, even eating for a hundred years wouldnât exhaust the options!"
"Hmm?"
Listening to Ma Xingyuanâs words, Li Yunjing was quite surprised and couldnât help but turn his head to look at him, only then realizing he knew too little about Ma Xingyuan.
"Good! If you think this way, then itâs a relief!"
Li Yunjing nodded, satisfied.
"Alright! Fatty, hand me the materials you purchased, Iâll refine them all for you, and when I finish, Iâll leave, and youâll have to handle everything."
Li Yunjing said.
"Alright! Iâve been ready!"
Ma Xingyuan nodded, already aware of Li Yunjingâs intention, handing over one Hundred Treasures Pouch after another.
Li Yunjing glanced through them, nodding slightly. There was a lot inside, showing that Fatty put in effort.
In the following half-month, Li Yunjing secluded himself to work, consuming all resources, refining them into treasures.
"Alright! Fatty, Iâm leaving!"
Half a month later, having completed what he could, Li Yunjing remarked with a smile.
On "Shenxiao Island," "Feiyun Island," "Holy Sound Island," he consecutively engaged in high-intensity Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Talisman Making, Refining Puppet, and refining Array Plate, greatly progressing in these five vice positions.
This improvement delighted Li Yunjing even amidst fatigue.
Before leaving the "Holy Sound Island," Li Yunjingâs impression of Ma Xingyuan had changed.
Initially, he thought Ma Xingyuan was just a pleasure-loving, lazy slob.
As a friend, heâd lift him up but never expected any significant contribution from Ma Xingyuan.
But after knowing him better during this period, Li Yunjing realized he underestimated Ma Xingyuan.
"Itâs time to return to âShenxiao Islandâ to prepare for the âLingyuan Islandâ journey."
Li Yunjing contemplated.
As he packed up and prepared to depart, a sudden Sound Transmission Talisman arrived.
From the talisman, Ma Xingyuanâs voice came: "Young Master Li, just now the âHoly Sound Sectâ sent a message! They say a large number of Demon Beasts have been found gathering offshore, the beast tide seems about to erupt early!"
