Chapter 280: Dao Companion

The Investiture of the Gods world not only had many rare treasures, but also miracle pills. Ye Xiaolu’s upgrade was all due to Sacred Maiden Glamour stuffing her full of those precious pills.

Entering the sixth level, one’s qi became true and could even hover. Entering the seventh level, Ye Xiaolu could roam the skies. She flew for a full day before coming down. 

“Is lil’ Mo here?”

On the morning of the tournament, Li Mo hadn’t even opened his door as he heard Ye Xiaolu’s snarky voice.

Li Mo went out to see a proud Ye Xiaolu with two gnoll bitches.

“You’re still in sixth level?”

“And?”

“Here’s the deal. This fairy saw you single for too long and decided to clear my conscience today by bringing you two Dao companions. Don’t be shy and accept.”

Li Mo’s face was grave, “Ye Xiaolu, is your skin itchy?”

“Tch, think you can scare me?” Ye Xiaolu jumped and a cloud appeared under her. She was smart to begin with, and after learning a dozen of Sacred Maiden Glamour’s magical arts in just five days, Sacred Maiden Glamour even called her a genius of ten thousand years, the brightest of talents.

She asked around and knew now what fundamental change each level beyond the fifth brought. A fifth level could never beat a sixth, nor a sixth a seventh. The higher one went in levels the more impossible it was to win with a level difference.

Ye Xiaolu had one upped Li Mo and if she didn’t use this change to pay him back, then she was not Ye Xiaolu.

“Lil’ Mo, don’t be scared. The world knows it and we know it. Call me sister Lu and I’ll keep this matter to myself.”

Ye Xiaolu snickered.

Li Mo cupped his hands at the gnolls, “Fellow Daoists, this is how my Dao companion behaves. That is why I cannot cultivate with you. Please take your leave.”

The two gnoll bitches didn’t move. With Ye Xiaolu being Sacred Maiden Glamour’s personal disciple, her name spread to every corner of Green Water Palace. The two accepted her invitation without even a question.

“You don’t need to go, I will make him obey.”

Ye Xiaolu snickered and made a sign.

“Freeze!”

An immortal’s freezing art targeted any weaker than himself and would immobilize the target with ease.

Li Mo was rooted.

“Ha-ha-ha, go on you two. Sleep, shag, or whatever, but do not harm him. This will only happen once.”

The two gnolls dragged Li Mo back inside.

“Maybe I’m pushing it too far. Should I stop now?” Ye Xiaolu suddenly grew a conscience.

She only thought about teasing, not harm Li Mo.

‘If he sleeps with the gnolls, will he break off any relation with me?’

‘I’d better stop…’

Ye Xiaolu put aside any intention to mess around and rushed into the house.

“You two, it’s better…”

“Freeze!”

Ye Xiaolu shuddered and froze.

In his room, Li Mo was perfectly fine, with the gnolls turned into statues.

Ye Xiaolu watched Li Mo like a deer in the headlights. If she could only speak, she’d say, “How do you know how to freeze?”

Ye Xiaolu had always been cultivating since coming to Green Water Palace. Li Mo? His cultivation was stuck, but he at least studied magical arts. He already knew a hundred arts by heart, but since he never used them, no one knew this.

With her Emulsion Spirit Body, Ye Xiaolu would only freeze for a second, but Li Mo had long since been ready. He took out the God Prison and shoved her in. 

Li Mo joined as well.

“Ahh~, lil’ Mo, I have had it! I was only playing around and even came to stop it. Don’t take it any further!”

In the God Prison, Ye Xiaolu regained her movements and shrieked. 

Not for the life of her could she make sense how a seventh level like her was frozen by a sixth level like Li Mo.

Sacred Maiden Glamour clearly stated that level was all that mattered when using this art. It had always been used in picking on the weak leveled ones and never the other way around.

This went against the art’s rules!

Li Mo walked over, “Breaking through again and again, how could you hold back against paying me back? Especially with your temper. You expect me to have no fallback?”

“The one you froze before wasn’t me, but a stone. I used Heaven and Earth Inverse to make it look like me.”

“Ahh~, you sly brat! Wait, how did you freeze me then?”

“Simple, I set an Immortal Trapping Array in my room. Even Sacred Maiden Glamour would have her level dropped, not to mention you.”

“W-what are you doing? Don’t come near me!”

Ye Xiaolu cried as she fled. The God Prison had countless cells and she found herself in one. It was a four by four room with bars and everything.

Li Mo threw her on the ground and mounted Ye Xiaolu.

“If I don’t give you a lesson you’ll never forget the next time you’ll go even further.”

“Emulsion Spirit Body is a great tonic for cultivators. You need to use it often to enjoy its effects.”

Among Ye Xiaolu’s cries, Li Mo completed his forcing operation.

Half an hour later, Li Mo sat aside, meditating, while Ye Xiaolu was curled up and unmoving.

Three hours later, Li Mo pounced on Ye Xiaolu again, despite her cries…

Hum~

The God Prison shuddered and Li Mo entered the seventh level.

Ye Xiaolu’s heart sank, “Damn it, now I’ll never get back at this beast!”

“Who are you calling a beast?”

“N-no one.” Ye Xiaolu covered her face.

“Again. Let’s see if you’ll still talk after.”

“You… beast…”

The God Prison shuddered again.

When Li Mo finally let Ye Xiaolu out, it was noon. The tournament in the circle of enlightenment had already been ongoing for hours.

Ye Xiaolu was exhausted as she glared, “You, help me up!”

Li Mo held her waist.

“Bea- what are you doing? Not like this! It’s too unsightly!”

Li Mo thus carried Ye Xiaolu to the circle of enlightenment.

There, all kinds of flashes appeared, as the tournament was in full swing.
