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.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
mance] After transmigrating for eighteen years, Lin Qi lived as an utterly ordinary herbalist in the countryside. One day, he kindly brought home a sickly, beautiful girl covered in blood. They married in a flash and began their blissful, intimate life together. Right then, his long-delayed system finally activated. [Warning! Host detected in contact with the "Crimson Calamity," the world-ending witch!] Lin Qi looked at the adorable wife currently curled in his arms, who couldn't even open a jar lid and trembled at the sight of a mouse. Lin Qi: "System, are you insane? This is clearly just a weak and delicate sickly girl!" Thus, Lin Qi treated the system as a "Contrast System," where taking care of his wife made him stronger. Combing his wife's hair rewarded him with [Free Attribute Points]. Taking his wife out for sunshine rewarded him with [Forbidden Spell: Arcane Explosion]. Lin Qi: "This soft life tastes so good!" ... Yet, in the eyes of outsiders: The strongest Beastkin Assassin: "That man dissected a Beast King with a common skinning knife! That was a show of force towards the powerful!" The Holy Son of the Radiant Church: "I infiltrated his home as a tutor, but he had me babysit the children... He must have seen through my disguise!" The World-Ending Witch, Felucia: "I hid all the way in the countryside. How is it that the husband I married on a whim is stronger than I was at my peak?"
