"I guarded against everything, but I didn't guard against you, you hooligan."
Hearing Li Dixian's words, Zhu Zhuqing's expression froze.
She had become a peeping hooligan?
"You… you…"
Zhu Zhuqing pointed at Li Dixian, trembling with anger.
Having grown up in a noble family, she had never seen such a scoundrel.
Her calm state of mind completely shattered.
Her Soul Power surged around her body, one of her eyes turned emerald green, the other clear blue, and her pupils contracted into the shape of a date pit.
Her waist-length, ink-black hair, like a waterfall, had a few strands coiled on top of her head, resembling a pair of cat ears.
A cat-like ribbon also grew from behind her.
Li Dixian let out a soft "hmm."
He scrutinized the now alluring young girl.
"Is this a Feline Spirit?"
Zhu Zhuqing's sharp fingernails dug into a head-sized stone.
She hurled it at Li Dixian, who was in the stream.
Li Dixian raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined like a sword, and sharp green Soul Power spewed from his fingertips.
Swoosh—
A faint sound.
The stone split in two, its cross section as smooth as a mirror.
With two splashes, it fell into the water.
"Hmm?!"
Zhu Zhuqing's date-pit-like pupils contracted even further.
"This person's Soul Power is so sharp!"
Li Dixian would be a sitting duck if he stayed in the water.
He felt utterly unsafe.
Who knew what else this cat-Soul girl would throw to attack him.
"This young master isn't playing with you anymore!"
Li Dixian leaned back, completely submerging himself in the water.
The water rippled, and through the distorted light and shadows, he seemed like a white streak in the waves, swiftly swimming upstream.
"Hooligan, don't run!"
Zhu Zhuqing arched her back and bent her knees, looking like a nimble cat.
She lightly tapped her toes, leaping onto stones along the water's edge, chasing Li Dixian underwater.
The two continued, one running, one chasing.
Slowly… Zhu Zhuqing was surprised to find that her speed couldn't match this hooligan youth.
The distance between them grew wider and wider.
"What Spirit does this hooligan have?"
"My Netherworld Spirit Cat can't even beat him in speed?"
Splash—!
A sudden sound of breaking water interrupted Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts.
About four or five meters away,
she saw a bare body rush ashore, pick up a bundle from the ground, and disappear into the jungle.
She saw it again!
This time, she saw it even more clearly!
Zhu Zhuqing stumbled, almost falling.
Her pretty face was flushed crimson.
"Hooligan!"
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't be able to quell my anger!"
Without further hesitation,
Zhu Zhuqing immediately charged into the jungle.
As she ran, she untied the bundle.
She pulled out her only change of clothes, a white shirt.
Li Dixian shook his hands, and the white shirt unfurled in the wind; his arms slid into the sleeves, and he flipped in mid-air, his flowing garment neatly gathering around his waist.
His clothes were on.
Li Dixian grabbed his belt and tied it around his waist.
He turned to look at the cat-Soul girl who had caught up, her eyes brimming with anger, and said helplessly:
"Why are you still chasing me?"
"You saw me naked, and I'm not even angry, so why are you?"
Looking at the handsome youth before her, dressed in a white shirt, with water dripping from his hair,
Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, wanting to scold him.
But after calming down and thinking about it,
it was indeed she who had seen him naked.
She wasn't an unreasonable young lady.
But why was she so angry, her chest heaving up and down?
"You…"
Zhu Zhuqing bit her pearly teeth tightly and said,
"I see your strength is good, and I want to spar with you!"
Li Dixian turned and walked away.
"No interest."
"I generally don't hit women."
Whoosh—!
A sudden gust of wind sounded behind him.
Li Dixian's steps subtly shifted to the right.
A slender and sharp hand grazed past his ear.
"Hmm?"
Li Dixian looked at the girl whose Soul Power was surging, and frowned, saying:
"Do you really have to fight me?"
Zhu Zhuqing's cat-like eyes glowed, and a thrill of excitement surged within her.
"Your speed is indeed very fast."
"Zhu Zhuqing, a Level 27 Great Spirit Master, formally challenges you."
Li Dixian raised an eyebrow, thinking:
"It is indeed Zhu Zhuqing."
In fact, when the girl revealed her Feline Spirit, Li Dixian had already had a suspicion.
At this age, with such stunning beauty, and Soul Power above Level 20, it could only be Zhu Zhuqing of the Netherworld Spirit Cat.
A thought stirred.
Li Dixian seemed to have thought of something.
He casually plucked a leaf, put it in his mouth, and said lazily:
"I can fight you."
"But if I win, you have to promise me one thing."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's peculiar expression,
he added helplessly:
"Don't think about those other things."
"A gentleman knows what to do and what not to do."
Zhu Zhuqing realized she had overthought it, and a blush crept onto her pretty face.
"I promise you!"
As her words fell,
Zhu Zhuqing's dual-colored heterochromatic pupils gleamed with a cold light, and her figure flickered like a phantom.
At the same time, beneath her feet, two clear yellow Soul Rings ascended.
At the very first encounter!
She used two Spirit Abilitys!
This showed how seriously she regarded Li Dixian!
"First Spirit Ability — Netherworld Stab!"
"Second Spirit Ability — Netherworld Hundred Claws!"
Zhu Zhuqing's already swift speed surged again, her slender figure rushing forward, causing the leaves on the ground to fly.
Claw shadows rained down like a storm, tearing through the air with sharp whistles.
Li Dixian's lips curved slightly.
He spat out the leaf he had been holding in his mouth.
He reached forward with his palm, and with his movement, a three-foot, six-inch Green Edge Severance was grasped in his hand.
The moment the Azure Lotus Sword was summoned,
this forest instantly flashed with cold light.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but exclaim,
"What a sharp sword!"
And the moment he gripped the sword,
Li Dixian's lazy gaze suddenly turned sharp.
"First Spirit Ability — Green Edge Severance!"
The purple Soul Ring suddenly lit up.
Above the sword's spine, the Azure Lotus imprint slowly bloomed, and the sword's edge traced a profound trajectory.
Wherever the sword light passed, the claw shadows were completely annihilated.
Whoosh—
Li Dixian's speed was too fast for the eyes to catch.
In just an instant, the sword tip stopped three inches from Zhu Zhuqing's throat, and the strong wind ruffled the stray hairs on her forehead.
The clear sword light reflected her stunned, pretty face.
"You lost."
Li Dixian put away the Azure Lotus Sword.
The leaf he had spat out happened to float to the ground.
"How… how is this possible…"
Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes, looking at Li Dixian in disbelief.
"A purple Soul Ring? A thousand-year limit?"
"Why… is your first Soul Ring purple?"
She knew many geniuses.
But those geniuses all called her a genius.
Zhu Zhuqing was also very confident in her own talent.
But now, the white-shirted youth she met in Star Dou Forest made her realize that there are always people stronger than you, and higher heavens beyond the current sky.
How should he answer this?
Should he say that he had the Wine Spirit for healing, and absorbed while taking medicine?
Li Dixian casually made up an answer:
"Because purple has a lot of charm."
This answer made Zhu Zhuqing's gaze go blank again.
"Alright."
Li Dixian took out the clear spring wine pot from behind him, gulped down a large mouthful, and said,
"You lost."
"According to our agreement, you have to promise me one thing."
