When Li Siyi was acting all delicate and fragile, the tiger demon across from her had no patience.
"Who are you?"
"A mysterious passerby in a black robe."
"You must be looking for death. I love eating pretty boys like you."
"What gave you the illusion that you can take me down?"
Su Luo set Li Siyi down and took the shattered sword from her hand.
Although it was broken, the remaining piece was enough to deal with this tiger demon.
"With these claws of mine."
The tiger demon's claws grew larger again, veins visibly bulging, filled with explosive power, locking onto Su Luo.
Su Luo leaped forward without a hint of fear, throwing a punch with his left fist.
The tiger demon sneered. What could that skinny little fist do? Just die!
Yet, that skinny little fist contained an immense power, and the tiger demon's claws were knocked aside.
The tiger demon couldn't believe it. How could he lose in terms of strength?
This person in front of him was clearly weaker than the previous two.
Suddenly, the tiger demon felt something strange in his body, as if he had been attacked, but he couldn't see anything attacking him.
In that moment of confusion, Su Luo's right hand, holding the broken sword, thrust forward, piercing the tiger demon's kidney, then slashed upward, stabbing into the chest.
The entire movement was smooth and fluid.
By the time the tiger demon reacted, Su Luo had already finished and calmly stepped back.
"You, how did you know..."
The tiger demon died in shock, unable to comprehend how he had been defeated so quickly.
After dealing with the tiger demon, Su Luo turned to look at Li Siyi.
Unexpectedly, Li Siyi immediately rushed over and hugged Su Luo's waist.
But she didn't have much strength left and soon slid down.
To prevent Li Siyi from falling, Su Luo had no choice but to catch her, and then it turned into him holding Li Siyi.
Li Siyi, however, just giggled foolishly.
Su Luo was speechless. "You can still laugh in this state? Do you really not care about your life?"
"Yeah, I almost lost it. I was wondering if you would show up, and you actually did."
"Why are you here?" Su Luo felt this was a good opportunity to probe.
"Just by chance." Li Siyi nuzzled against Su Luo's chest, feeling insecure after narrowly escaping death, but Su Luo's embrace was comforting.
"If you don't tell me, we won't meet again." Su Luo pretended to be angry, his tone icy.
"I dreamed it." Li Siyi said, lowering her head, because it was a lie.
"A dream?"
"Yes, recently I've been having strange dreams that show me places with great opportunities."
Dreams...
Su Luo found it a bit absurd. How could she have such prophetic dreams out of nowhere?
There was no way to intervene, as Su Luo had no means of entering dreams.
"Stop having those dreams."
"I can't control it."
"I won't always be able to save you in time."
"I know, that's why I'm getting stronger."
Li Siyi showed off her Foundation Establishment Early Stage strength, something to be proud of at her age.
But now, battered and bruised, she looked like a sick kitten, with no convincing power at all.
"You'll regret it."
Without the protagonist's fate, yet taking the protagonist's treasures, this is the consequence of Li Siyi overestimating herself.
"I won't." Li Siyi said firmly.
Su Luo let go, letting Li Siyi fall to the ground. He had only caught her instinctively, but now that the questioning was over, he naturally released her.
Besides, it was getting late, and it was time to leave.
The system's prompt had also disappeared, indicating that the plot could still proceed without major deviations.
Li Siyi complained, "Couldn't you be a bit gentler with me?"
"Women only slow down my sword."
"Aren't you a woman too?"
"None of your business."
Li Siyi smiled, thinking to herself: I knew it was you, Su Luo.
"Wait." Li Siyi took out a treasure from her chest. "This is for you."
This treasure was the one that helped hatch the insect egg. Li Siyi had already obtained it but was discovered by the tiger demon when she tried to leave.
"You don't need it?"
"I do, but I think you need it more."
"Why do you say that?"
"You're injured. I can't let you come for nothing."
Su Luo's left arm was bleeding, the skin torn and flesh exposed.
That first punch wasn't as easy as it seemed.
Su Luo had simultaneously activated [My Pain is Greater Than Yours] and [I Accept Your Power].
Instantly gaining 20% damage reduction, 20% damage reflection, and the tiger demon's strength.
That's how he managed to deflect the tiger demon's claw.
But the consequence was that his body couldn't handle the sudden increase in power, and now his left arm couldn't move at all.
The tiger demon's claw was incredibly strong. Even with 20% damage reduction, Su Luo ended up in this state.
Fortunately, the constitution points he gained from writing diaries regularly were enough to prevent his entire left arm from being crippled. With some rest, it would recover.
Li Siyi handed the treasure to Su Luo.
Sincerely.
But Su Luo looked at Li Siyi with suspicion.
Maybe she was just putting on an act. After all, she had nearly died to obtain this treasure. Why would she willingly give it to someone else?
Especially to a stranger she had only met twice.
Su Luo decisively took the treasure, wanting to see Li Siyi's shocked expression.
But there was none. Li Siyi just smiled lightly, without any reluctance.
How strange.
Looking at the treasure, Su Luo felt no interest at all. It was utterly boring.
"Forget it, you take it."
Su Luo threw the treasure back to Li Siyi and turned to leave.
What era is this? Still clinging to traditional cultivation?
With cheats, why bother cultivating? That's how you become a celestial being.
Su Luo had already decided to rely on his diary to progress this time.
Cultivation? Not in this lifetime.
"Wait, you've saved me twice. What should I call you?"
Li Siyi knew Su Luo didn't want to reveal his identity, so she let him come up with a title himself.
She would play along, and when the time came, she would tell him, "I always knew who you were." His expression would be priceless.
"Hmm... call me Black Robe."
"That's so random."
"Goodbye. Next time, I might just be collecting your corpse. I won't always be lucky enough to save you."
Li Siyi finally realized.
The person in front of her, with a woman's voice, was usually a lazy, good-for-nothing playboy.
But now, his strength far surpassed hers.
She couldn't fall behind.
"Alright, I'll try not to need your help."
The Third Elder watched the black-robed woman leave, finally finding a chance to ask Li Siyi, "Who is she? She's so strong."
Yes, the Third Elder, at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, had been easily dealt with, yet the black-robed woman had effortlessly defeated the tiger demon.
So cleanly that the Third Elder doubted whether all his cultivation had been for nothing.
Li Siyi turned back with a smile. "I think... I've fallen for her."
The Third Elder tilted his head: ?
That wasn't the question, was it?
You like her? She's a woman. Not that kind of like, right? Otherwise, your father would be furious.
But no matter how much the Third Elder asked, he couldn't get any information about the black-robed woman.
