The blazing flames were like shooting stars, dazzlingly bright amidst the heavy black mist.
Zhu Yi cast a spell to enhance the power of the flames. The little girl opposite her gave a wicked smile, turned around and transformed into a graceful and charming woman in black. Her gauze dress flowed gracefully, her red lips were bold and alluring, and her eyes were full of hatred for Zhu Yi.
"I never expected that you would break through to the Golden Core stage in less than a year! I underestimated you!"
"Li Mei?" Zhu Yi was certain. This time, she had truly run into her nemesis. Meeting her again would likely bring nothing good. "You grabbed me in the street last time, are you trying to do it again?"
"Your master imprisoned the entire Tian Sha Sect for half a year. Today, I will demand justice!" Li Mei's long whip appeared, and the nine-section demonic whip lashed out. Just as it was about to land on Zhu Yi's face, Zhu Yi nimbly dodged it.
“Demons are known for holding grudges. They won’t consider that she provoked you first, meow,” Zhao Cai said slowly, then added, “You made your own enemy, so deal with him yourself, meow.”
"Yes, I can do it!" Zhu Yi is now at the late stage of the Golden Core realm and is not afraid of Li Mei. She knows that Zhao Cai wants her to practice her combat skills, so she will not make a move easily.
This time, at least she won't be beaten up by Li Mei like last time.
With a swift, sweeping motion, Zhu Yi's attacks were both deadly and merciful.
Li Mei's nine-section demon whip was not good at offense, and Zhu Yi took advantage of this, staying close to Li Mei at a distance of less than two meters. This put him in a position where Li Mei's whip could not be used, allowing Zhu Yi to easily strike Li Mei with his horse-slaying saber.
"Damn it!" Li Mei's beautiful eyes were red, her face contorted with rage as she shouted at Zhu Yi, "Who gave you permission to approach this princess?"
In less than ten rounds, Li Mei was injured.
Zhu Yi wouldn't tolerate her: "Who gave you permission to pretend to be a little girl and lie to me?"
With a swift turn, Zhu Yi slashed Li Mei's left shoulder with her sword: "We can each go our own way. If you insist on coming to make trouble for me, don't blame me for settling all my old and new scores with you!"
Li Meihua's face paled, her right hand covering her bleeding wound. Her gaze shifted upwards, her eyes flashing with shock: "You actually dared to hurt me?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhu Yi retorted. She suddenly felt that when dealing with demons, shouldn't we be more ruthless, like coating the sword with a blood-activating medicine?
As if sensing something, the saber standing beside him emitted a low groan, expressing its dissatisfaction.
Zhu Yi turned around and comforted it: "Good friend, I was just joking with you! Don't worry about it, why would I put a layer of ointment on you and ruin your majestic image?"
The horse-slaying sword seemed a little angry, and gave another muffled response, which finally ended the conversation.
Zhao Cai looked closely and exclaimed, "It actually has a half-spirit?" It was referring to the fact that the Zhanma Dao had already given birth to a half-spirit.
"Mmm." Zhu Yi nodded without saying much. This happened inside the Bodhi Mirror. She had experienced two Golden Core Tribulations. Each time the heavenly lightning struck, she would share the power of the lightning with the Brahma Lamp, the zombie family, a bunch of demonic plants, and several weapons, so that they could also use the divine power of the tribulation to improve themselves.
After just two uses, the horse-slaying sword was as good as new.
Seeing Zhu Yi talking to the cat and glancing at the Zhanmadao every now and then, Li Mei slowly moved back, trying to escape.
"I felt like fighting you was easy this time. Turns out you're not so strong after all!" Zhu Yi had a playful smile on her lips, which Li Mei saw as blatant provocation.
"What are you so smug about? If I hadn't been careless, I could have beaten you to a pulp!" Li Mei said, applying hemostatic medicine to herself while glaring at Zhu Yi with her neck stiff.
Zhu Yi was amused by her black swan-like appearance. "What are you being so stubborn about?"
"Don't you know that there are many extraordinary individuals in the cultivation world who shouldn't be provoked?"
Li Mei couldn't stand Zhu Yi's lecturing manner; it was so annoying!
She didn't want to talk to Zhu Yi anymore and turned her head away from her. Luckily, she had prepared some extra medicine for herself when she sneaked out this time. Sigh, it's not easy to do everything yourself.
"Let's make a deal." Zhu Yi had a homemade lollipop in his mouth, and then spoke to Li Mei in a polite and joking manner, like a rascal.
"What are we discussing?" Li Mei rolled her eyes, annoyed. "Should I beat you up?"
"Fighting is such a crude thing. Good girls like us are always very reserved and don't fight." Zhu Yi's smile was like a spring breeze caressing her face, like a peach blossom, and she looked like she had heard some earth-shattering secret, which made Li Mei's teeth itch even more.
In the end, Zhu Yi still felt that it was better to resolve conflicts than to perpetuate them, mainly because she didn't currently have the strength to oppose the entire Demon Clan...
Her hands didn't stop moving. Seeing that Li Mei had already applied the medicine, she slapped a Xuan Tian immobilization talisman heavily on Li Mei's forehead with a loud thud.
Li Mei's eyes were filled with stars: "What are you going to do now? You deserve to die!"
"Where's your little follower?" Zhu Yi asked instead of answering.
"Release me right now! You wait! This princess will make you taste what it's like to have your skin torn apart!"
"Calm down, calm down, getting angry will make you age faster, it's not worth it!" Zhu Yifeng's calm and gentle manner only enraged Li Mei, who rolled around on the ground in anger.
"You're like a little kid, crying and making a fuss when you can't get your candy. What do you want? Tell me, and I'll help you! No man will like a girl who's always arguing and fighting!" Li Mei looks so alluring; she must really enjoy being fawned over by men, right?
"Then tell me, what kind of woman do men like?" Li Mei asked humbly.
Zhu Yixin said, "You're really speechless. I was trying to talk to you nicely just now, but you ignored me and even tried to hit me. Now you know how to talk to me nicely?"
Hehe. Before Zhu Yi could speak, Zhao Cai's fluffy little paws reached out and gently placed on the back of her hand.
"Meow?" Zhao Cai said impatiently to Zhu Yi, "Why are you dawdling so much? Let's hurry up and go out to buy some delicious food, or the market will close up in a minute."
Its voice held a hint of anticipation: "This great cat still wants to go see the old lady who used to always feed me fish~"
"I think that dealing with someone like Li Mei who won't accept defeat even after being stabbed once, it's useless to beat her in terms of strength. We need to talk to her, have a chat, enlighten this rebellious girl, save this wayward youth, and influence her!"
"Just kill any unreasonable demon cultivator you encounter!" Zhao Cai didn't think that far ahead as Zhu Yi; all it wanted to do now was resolve the matter quickly.
Zhu Yi should take a look at Zhao Cai, and then at Li Mei.
She was torn between the two options. She wanted to continue shopping, but she also felt it wouldn't be right to leave Li Mei here.
This isn't anything dishonest or unfair; it's just that the people in Anyuan Town are mostly honest and law-abiding ordinary people from the cultivation world. They're unarmed, don't know anything about cultivation, and can't beat Li Mei.
She asked Zhao Cai with a troubled expression, "It's not really good for Li Mei to be here. What if she goes crazy and harms the people in the town?"
“Demonic cultivators are unpredictable, it’s normal for you to worry.” Zhao Cai began to look Li Mei up and down, and said in a low voice, “Look at her infatuated look, she’s definitely thinking about how to ruin the handsome men down the mountain!”
"She's going to call for spring!" Zhao Cai declared definitively, as if it were the final word, and proudly wagged its little tail to show how happy it was.
"Hey! You still haven't answered my question! What kind of woman do men like?"
