Why Does My Arch-Nemesis Stop Me From Cultivating the Heartless Dao?

Also known as "Deep Bone Affection". How can an arch-nemesis turn into a husband?

This is the story of a cold and ruthless, yet somewhat clueless female lead versus a delicate, soft, ...

Xi Chengming is the fifth! I can stay in Xianshan!

Xi Chengming is the fifth! I can stay in Xianshan!

On the second day, the Jianshan Competition entered its final stage.

After they left yesterday, the audience was left to decide the final format of the competition.

Now the five of them stood in the field, awaiting sentencing.

The old man Jian Yi looked at the ballot in his hand and said, "Monster Search".

"Five people entered different illusions. Each illusion had a corresponding monster incarnated in various forms, swapping between people and objects. The fastest person to identify and kill the monster wins. You only have one chance. If you mistakenly kill the wrong monster, you lose. Or if the monster kills you, you also lose."

"Although this is simpler than the previous two rounds, it's not easy when it comes down to it," the sect leader said. "Identifying monsters is extremely important to the people of the Immortal Mountain. It requires immense patience and keen insight. Monsters, who infiltrate the human world, have learned the appearance and movements of human objects very vividly, making them almost indistinguishable from human objects. This competition, while prioritizing martial prowess, places greater emphasis on basic judgment."

The five of them looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Yin Yi winked at Ji Shufeng and Xi Chengming, then clasped their hands together. "Meeting is fate. We hit it off so well. We'll be lifelong friends."

"Leng Can, in this situation, the final round is about the winner of the Jianshan Tournament. We will not be humble anymore. You have to work hard." Ji Shufeng placed her hand on the back of Yin Yi's hand, "But friendship comes first, competition comes second."

"Right." Xi Chengming immediately covered it up. "No matter what, since we've met and are such rivals, we should be friends. We can't lose our friendship because of a game."

"I'm very powerful, just wait and see!" Although he said so, Leng Can still couldn't help being nervous. He silently retracted the insults he had directed at Xi Chengming in his heart, and held Cong Mo's hand gently.

Cong Mo looked at the few people without saying anything or pulling his hand away.

Open the scroll, enter the fantasy world, and the game begins.

The five people entered different places in the town and were not in the same place.

Cong Mo is different from others. She can smell the stench of monsters and can easily identify their location through the smell. She looked around, threw away her sword, and soon smelled an unpleasant smell on her nose, which led her to rush into the building in front of her.

Business was booming in the building, and it was noisy and bustling. Everyone was minding their own business and doing their own job, and no one noticed her arrival.

It looks very harmonious.

Cong Mo stuck his nose out and entered the building, but the stench was mostly covered by the aroma of the food, making it difficult to determine the location by smell.

She looked around. She couldn't use anything except swordsmanship here, otherwise it would be easy for her to identify monsters.

Cong Mo found an empty table and sat down, placing his sword on the table. The golden lightsaber reflected some brilliant light. Even in the illusion, the monsters were no different from the monsters in the real world. Monsters survived and improved their skills by absorbing the essence of ordinary people. They did not need to eat on weekdays, and low-level monsters could not eat human food. However, if they absorbed the essence of people who practiced Taoism and converted the spiritual power into magic energy, they could not only fill their stomachs and not go hungry for several months, but also increase their skills and break through bottlenecks.

Cong Mo called the waiter, ordered a few dishes, and decided to wait and see. Since she couldn't find the monster, she would let the monster come to her.

After just a short wait, a waiter came up with the food. When he got closer, Cong Mo could clearly smell the pungent stench of oil mixed with fragrance on his body. Before the waiter could show his fangs,

Cong Mo grabbed the sword and stood up, turned over and grabbed the waiter by the collar, pushed him onto the table without saying a word, and chopped off his head before his claws mutated and scales grew on his body.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the field. It had only been five minutes.

"Cong Mo, congratulations." The sect leader congratulated her in advance, and applause broke out from the audience.

Cong Mo nodded slightly, not paying too much attention to it, but instead fixed his gaze on Leng Can on the display screen. He was holding a water spirit stone in his right hand and a wooden box in his left hand. Inside was various meats, snacks, dried fruits and other delicacies. These were what he had just conjured up with the imaginary spirit stone. Whenever he saw someone, he would open the wooden box and let them eat. Monsters cannot eat human food, so those who are unwilling to eat are most likely monsters in disguise.

I asked more than ten people like this until I met a woman who refused to taste it on the grounds of being on a diet.

Leng Can took out a sugar-free snack, broke off a small piece, and put the rest into his mouth, indicating that it was non-toxic. Then he half-pushed and half-coaxed her to eat, but he never dared to put down the spirit stone in his hand. "I am so beautiful, why should I diet to maintain my figure? My young master asked me to find someone to taste this. I must find which one is more delicious before I give up. Otherwise, he will ask me for an explanation when he gets back. Miss, please consider it as a favor."

"Okay..." The woman pretended to push open the lid, but her hand stopped halfway. Suddenly, she flipped over the box and pushed it open, revealing Leng Can's true form.

The ugly wings carried it into the air, and it roared at Leng Can.

Leng Can fell to the ground, shaking with fear. Seeing this weird monster again, he still couldn't adapt. He raised the spirit stone and launched a water ball attack. The monster quickly dodged. Leng Can transformed into a flint and attacked at the same time. The monster kept dodging and responded with magic fire. They entangled and fought with each other. Leng Can covered his injured arm and hid behind the stone pillar. Not only was he injured, but he also missed the monster with a single blow.

"Come over here if you've got the guts!" Leng Can stuck his head out and shouted, then quickly dodged when the magic fire attacked.

The monster flapped its wings, wrapped in the strong wind, and flew down towards him. Leng Can swallowed his saliva, and when he looked into the monster's black eyes, he took out a spirit stone to pause the monster. The spirit stone can only be used three times, and this was the last time. After the monster stopped, it turned into ashes and flew away.

The pause lasted only ten seconds. Leng Can, sweating profusely, immediately raised his sword and stabbed it into his heart.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the field. Except for Ji Shufeng, the other three were there.

"I'm fourth." Leng Can looked at Cong Mo and instantly felt like the sky was falling. He was about to kneel down and said, "It's over, Xiao Mo, I..."

"You're overthinking it." Yin Yi quickly supported him, "Brother, you were killed by a monster."

"What are you talking about?" Xi Chengming blushed and punched Yin Yi's shoulder. "When I walked in, before I knew anything, a child said he was lost. How could I have known that the child was a monster? At least I should have been considered kind-hearted."

Yin Yi clutched his shoulder, grimacing. "Didn't Master Jianyi say...hiss...that monsters can take any form, even non-human? Brother, you're just confused."

"I..." Xi Chengming was quite dissatisfied, "You know shit! I was just... forget it, a villain like you knows nothing anyway!"

"So that means I'm third!" Leng Can looked at the two of them, holding back the tears he hadn't squeezed out, and quickly became happy, "I can stay in Xianshan!"

Yin Yi explained, "I was attacked by the monster. Then Cong Mo came out and my brother was killed by the monster, so I was eliminated. So, Leng Can, you are indeed third."

Leng Can blinked, and rushed towards Cong Mo in surprise, hugging her tightly. "Xiao Mo, did you hear that? Xi Chengming is fifth! He is fifth!"

Cong Mo stumbled a bit after being bumped into, and when he came to his senses, he immediately grabbed his waist, a barely perceptible smile rising at the corner of his mouth. "Well, you're third."

Xi Chengming: "..."

There is no need to repeat this many times.

He rushed forward and pulled Leng Can away, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

"Then let me hug you!" Leng Can hugged him tightly, his eyes curved, "Xi Chengming, I've decided to forgive you!"

"Forget it." Xi Chengming was about to get angry, but then he thought about how Leng Can being able to stay in the fairy mountain was a good thing, and it was normal for him to be so happy. "I agree that you forgive me."

When Ji Shufeng emerged from the illusion, the old man Jian Yi announced the final result:

The Sword Mountain Competition has concluded successfully. After three trials, testing individual ability, teamwork, and monster identification, the final winner was determined. I hereby announce that the first place winner of the Sword Mountain Competition is... Cong Mo, Wuqing Dao. Second place is Yin Yi, Yao Dao. Third place is Leng Can, Wuqing Dao. Fourth place is Ji Shufeng, Jian Dao. Fifth place is Xi Chengming, Shu Fa. Let us congratulate all five contestants.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, but Wang Xiao, the son of the old man Jian Yi, had a bitter look on his face and stared at Cong Mo.

"Brother, let's..."

"Shut up." Wang Xiao said with a sinister expression, "Who the hell are these people? They think they can compete with me for first place. Wait until I kill them."

On the podium,

Leng Can took the high-level magic weapon, pursed his lips, and stared at Cong Mo.

"What are you crying for?" Xi Chengming couldn't help but kick him. "It's a good thing that you can stay in the fairy mountain. You're crying like you're leaving."

"What do you know?" Leng Can was even more excited after hearing what he said, and couldn't stop crying. "These are tears of excitement. You don't know anything."

This was the first time in his twenty years of life that he had won a prize.

and…

He turned his head and fixed his gaze on Cong Mo again. He couldn't peel off the silk.

He can be with Cong Mo again.

His plan could be extended to success, and he could continue to seduce Cong Mo.

So happy...

Leng Can didn't know how many times he had secretly sworn,

Cong Mo, I must seduce you!

After the game, all the pressure on his shoulders was relieved, and Leng Can invited everyone to have a meal at Chunfeng Tower to celebrate.

"Brother, would you like to go together?" Leng Can invited him.

He shook his head, his expression still gentle, "No, I'm not going. Wuqing Mountain needs me for something else. You guys have fun."

Cong Mo looked at him deeply. Senior Brother has always been interested in the human world and loves to join in the fun, so how could he refuse?

Moreover, she seemed to smell a faint stench in the air.

Leng Can was a little disappointed. "Okay then. I'll bring you some delicious snacks and candies when I come back."

"Okay, thank you, and be safe." Yu still maintained that expression.

Leng Can grabbed Cong Mo's arm and said, "Let's go!"

"Yeah." She didn't say anything and left with Leng Can.
