Chapter 15

The hand is gentle.

The gaze is gentle.

Yet, in this gaze that seems like that of a lover, the soft and boneless movements are filled with a heavy intent to kill.

This is the Fairy of Red练, Li Mochou's famous move — the Five Poison Divine Palm.

Don't be fooled by the white, jade-like hands and skin as smooth as congealed fat; their destructive power is absolutely formidable. Remember, when Li Mochou clashed with the Wu family, it was just a touch on Wu San's face that led to her defeat.

One can imagine the destructive power of the Fairy of Red练, Li Mochou's move.

"…Huh?!"

A voice of surprise, Li Mochou's delicate cry as the two passed each other.

Yue Yuan and the Fairy of Red练 were like two arrows shot at each other, but at the moment of their clash, they passed each other.

Stopping, turning around, the Fairy of Red练, Li Mochou touched her cheek with her left hand, her face flushed with anger as she glared at Yue Yuan's back.

Her sleeve was torn.

In the moment of their clash, the sleeve on Yue Yuan's left hand was torn by Li Mochou's fly whisk. But at this moment, Yue Yuan had no time to examine his sleeve; his gaze fell on his right hand instead.

His right hand spread out, and Yue Yuan could still feel the warmth and smoothness in his palm.

Turning his head, Yue Yuan met the angry gaze of the Fairy of Red练.

In their clash, he couldn't resist touching her cheek, while Li Mochou's Five Poison Divine Palm missed his face by a hair.

One could say that in this clash, the Fairy of Red练, Li Mochou, was defeated.

"…"

Li Mochou looked at him coldly, her gaze lingering on his right hand, as if reminiscing about something. Her already angry mood was further inflamed, turning into a raging fire.

Yes!

The Fairy of Red练 felt that she had been teased by this Taoist.

"You, a Taoist, are so shameless!"

However, after their brief clash, Li Mochou had already roughly gauged his strength. Given her current injured state, she knew she couldn't gain the upper hand. Though Li Mochou was ruthless, she wasn't foolish. Otherwise, how could the title of the beautiful and ruthless Fairy of Red练 have spread in the martial world?

If she weren't wise, Li Mochou would have long been eliminated by the righteous, and wouldn't have roamed the martial world for over a decade without incident.

"The Fairy is now a Taoist, and her ruthlessness is rare among Taoists. We are all the same in this regard!"

Yue Yuan did not deny his actions. The Fairy of Red练, in essence, was a proud and mature woman who would never admit her true feelings to others.

Moreover, Yue Yuan had acted on impulse. Since it was the truth, why deny it?

Especially in front of a beautiful woman.

"Huh?!"

Li Mochou's eyebrows arched, and just as she was about to attack again, Yue Yuan interrupted her.

"Fairy, don't be hasty!"

He raised his hand to stop the visibly enraged Li Mochou. Under her gaze, Yue Yuan unexpectedly apologized, saying, "Upon seeing the Fairy's beauty, I was struck by her heavenly appearance. In our clash, I took advantage of the Fairy, which was rash of me! I couldn't bear to see the Fairy's sorrow, please forgive me!" He continued to look at her with an incredibly sincere gaze.

After these words, Li Mochou was momentarily stunned.

Yue Yuan's brows furrowed slightly; he felt that his words might have been too honest.

The visualization technique truly had a significant impact on him!

Though he had prepared himself, he still felt a bit startled after saying those words. Though they were his true thoughts, he hadn't intended to say them, but under her angry gaze, he couldn't help but speak.

But...

Though he knew Chu Liuxiang was passionate and kind, the impact on him was too great.

And his tone just now... did he have Chu Liuxiang's emotional intelligence?

Especially since the Fairy of Red练 was a very charming and beautiful woman, whose charm was no less than that of Xiaolongnü, though their auras were completely different.

These were not important; what mattered most was that Yue Yuan realized he still lacked understanding of the visualization technique. In his words just now, he felt a hint of Duan Zhengchun.

Yes!

It was the feeling of Duan Zhengchun!

He had only visualized Chu Liuxiang, hadn't he?

Could it be that the reward was too high, and the Chu Liuxiang in his mind brought an assistant?

"..."

He lightly tapped his forehead with his right hand, deciding to temporarily set aside these thoughts and focus on the matter at hand. As for the problem with the visualization technique, he would deal with it later. Regarding the deepened impression and sympathy he felt for Li Mochou, Yue Yuan didn't pay much attention.

Because it didn't go against his true feelings, so he let it be.

He couldn't bear it!

He couldn't bear to see her sorrow?

What did this Taoist know? What is it to be unable to bear?

The Fairy of Red练, Li Mochou was only slightly taken aback, but then her anger intensified, along with a strange hatred.

Yes!

Li Mochou suddenly hated this Taoist whom she had only just met, because under his gaze, she felt as if he had seen through her, seen through her weaknesses.

A woman, a woman who had been hurt in love, a woman who had wrapped herself in coldness and ruthlessness after being hurt, could not tolerate an outsider looking at her with such a penetrating gaze. She was afraid of such a gaze.

No matter how ruthless and heartless, the Fairy of Red练 was still a woman who had been hurt in love.

Suddenly, the Fairy of Red练 was overwhelmed with anger.

In her extreme anger, Li Mochou, disregarding her own injuries, attacked Yue Yuan again.

Fairy!

Though a fairy, she is still poisonous!

Watching Li Mochou grit her teeth and attack, Yue Yuan couldn't help but sigh. As her Five Poison Divine Palm was about to hit his chest, Yue Yuan moved.

It seemed as if he was carried away by a gentle breeze, or as if someone was pulling him from behind. Yue Yuan, hands behind his back, face filled with a gentle smile, floated backward.

What incredible lightness!

Even the extremely angry Fairy of Red练 was shocked by Yue Yuan's terrifying lightness. The lightness of the Ancient Tomb Sect was already formidable, but in the face of his lightness, even Li Mochou had to admit that the young Taoist's lightness was unique and had the air of a master.

With a cold snort, Li Mochou turned her palm into a fist, and several Ice Soul Silver Needles shot from her hand toward Yue Yuan's chest.

He dodged to the side, and the needles flew into the grass.

At the same time, Yue Yuan stepped forward, and with the wind, he leaped into the air.

Hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering, his hair dancing, Yue Yuan changed direction in mid-air and landed outside the grass, saying, "I have heard that the Fairy has a true heart, tempered through a thousand trials. I am deeply moved. When the time comes, I will come to fetch it under the moon. The Fairy's true nature will not let me come in vain!"

As he finished speaking, Yue Yuan had already landed outside the grass.

But then he heard a donkey's bray. When the Fairy of Red练, Li Mochou, came out to chase him, she found a small donkey left next to her own, with a sword on it, the very sword Yue Yuan had been carrying.

In addition, on Li Mochou's donkey was a piece of white paper. Picking it up, she saw written on it: As proof, I have taken something from the Fairy as a token, and this sword named Moon Deficiency is my token. Since I have made this promise, I will save the Fairy from her confusion! Please look forward to my return under the moon!

Her gaze returned from the paper, and she found that the beloved bell she had tied around her donkey's neck was missing.

Recalling the hateful Taoist's words and the message on the paper, Li Mochou's face flushed with anger. She crumpled the paper into a ball, still unsatisfied, and then tore it into pieces, scattering them in the air.

Only the lingering hatred remained...

But who did the Fairy hate?
