As a woman.
She could easily see the affection in Bai Piaopiao's eyes.
But then again.
Only a woman like her would be worthy of someone like Yi Feng.
Even though Li Moqiu prided herself on being quite accomplished in many aspects, in front of Bai Piaopiao, she couldn't help but feel inferior, like a wild weed standing before a beautiful flower.
Li Moqiu began to recount everything in detail.
From meeting Yi Feng in the mountains, eating his barbecue, to the events that followed, and even the embarrassing incidents that happened because she didn't know Yi Feng's true identity—she left nothing out.
Throughout the entire narration, Bai Piaopiao sat cross-legged on the ground, listening patiently. Even when the story became dull or uneventful, she didn't show the slightest hint of impatience.
When she heard about Yi Feng's amusing anecdotes, she couldn't help but smile.
When she heard about Li Yinglian challenging Yi Feng, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
It was as if she had relived Yi Feng's experiences through Li Moqiu's narration.
Even though the events weren't earth-shattering or particularly thrilling.
Even though they were just mundane activities like eating, sleeping, and daily routines...
When Li Moqiu mentioned Yi Feng revealing his true strength, Bai Piaopiao couldn't help but ask, "So, in your opinion, what level of strength does he possess?"
"Based on the power he displayed at the Heavenly Array Pavilion back then, he must be at least a ninth-grade array master, with a cultivation level at the Sun-Moon Immortal Realm!" Li Moqiu speculated.
"Ninth-grade array master!"
"Sun-Moon Immortal Realm!"
"So, he's already this strong..."
Bai Piaopiao's red lips curved into a smile.
She seemed proud of him, even though a Sun-Moon Immortal in her White Emperor Palace would only qualify as a lowly guard, and a ninth-grade array master was nothing remarkable to her...
"Please, continue," Bai Piaopiao said softly.
Li Moqiu nodded and went on with her story.
Time passed slowly...
Finally, Li Moqiu finished recounting everything in detail.
In total, it took an entire day, with every little detail meticulously described.
Even long after she finished speaking...
Bai Piaopiao was still lost in thought, savoring the tale.
This was the first time she had learned about Yi Feng's life.
And because of this, she felt she understood him a little better.
Before this, apart from their two encounters in the Mufu Mountains, the only other thing she knew was that after ascending to the throne of the White Emperor, she had discovered that the two books she loved the most, *Dream of the Red Chamber* and *Supreme Treasure*, were written by this very man.
The original author she had been searching for so desperately was none other than Yi Feng, the man she had met multiple times. She should have been shocked and surprised by this revelation.
But in reality, when she found out, she didn't feel particularly astonished.
It was as if such masterpieces could only have been written by Yi Feng.
"Thank you," Bai Piaopiao said after a long while, finally snapping out of her reverie and looking up at Li Moqiu.
"Elder Jiang," she called out.
Jiang Yungong, who had been standing nearby, nodded and took out a crystal-clear pill from his storage ring, handing it to Li Moqiu.
"What is this?"
Li Moqiu looked at them in confusion.
"You'll know once you take it," Bai Piaopiao said gently.
Though puzzled, Li Moqiu took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation, as she didn't believe they meant her any harm.
After spending the day with them, she could sense that Bai Piaopiao had no ill intentions. Moreover, given their immense strength, if they wanted to harm her, there would be no need for such elaborate measures.
The moment the pill entered her mouth, it dissolved into a warm stream that flowed through her body.
In an instant, Li Moqiu felt a surge of immense energy coursing through her meridians.
Not only was it repairing the lingering damage from her previous qi deviation, but the remaining energy was also helping her break through the bottleneck she had been struggling with.
Immortal energy swirled around her.
Power surged through the entire chamber.
Not long after, Li Moqiu successfully broke through to the next realm. Not only was her foundation solid, but the pill also made it easier for her to overcome future bottlenecks.
A look of joy spread across her face.
She never expected Bai Piaopiao to grant her such an opportunity.
For her, it was like receiving help in a time of desperate need.
When she opened her eyes, ready to express her gratitude, she found the chamber empty except for herself.
She let out a bitter laugh.
Whether it was Yi Feng or Bai Piaopiao, in their eyes, she probably wasn't even a passing figure...
