The surroundings of the Lingyu Pavilion had already transformed into a frozen wasteland.
Shattered ice fragments and broken ice swords were scattered everywhere.
With a sharp swish.
The last three Profound Ice longswords behind Li Moran turned into streaks of crystalline light, thrusting toward Lu Ze at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
Lu Ze's figure seemed to ripple slightly. The streaks of light pierced right through his chest, yet he remained completely unharmed.
"Senior Sister Li..."
Lu Ze gulped, cautiously keeping his guard up against the lethal goddess hovering above him.
"Is this move... finished?"
"Mhm."
Only when Li Moran gave a slight nod did Lu Ze finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Moran had agreed that as long as he could withstand one of her moves, they would call it even.
Originally, Lu Ze thought that dodging a single ice sword attack would be enough.
But after the first ice sword struck, it was immediately followed by a second, then a third...
Only then did Lu Ze realize the truth.
The sixty-four Profound Ice longswords Li Moran summoned all at once were actually counted as a single move!
Wasn't this just playing dirty?
In his impression, Li Moran wasn't the kind of wicked woman who would play word games with him...
Lu Ze couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "I wonder who she learned that from..."
On the other side, Li Moran stared at Lu Ze with a complex look in her eyes.
She had never expected that sixty-four Profound Ice longswords would fail to take down Lu Ze.
Although she had deliberately suppressed her cultivation base to the early Soul Formation stage, it was still absolutely not something a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator could contend against.
Let alone a late Nascent Soul cultivator, even an early Soul Formation cultivator of the same level wouldn't have been able to withstand those sixty-four ice swords!
One had to know that every single Profound Ice longsword possessed enough power to break through a Soul Formation cultivator's defenses!
Witnessing such strength, even Li Moran, who had been crowned a genius by countless big shots, couldn't help but exclaim "genius" in her heart.
Seeing Li Moran staring at him, Lu Ze felt a bit creeped out and quickly changed the subject. "Did Senior Sister Li achieve a breakthrough?"
"Thanks to you."
Li Moran's lips curled downward slightly.
The stimulation from "This Demonic Cultivator Is Not Too Cold" had been a bit too much for her.
It had even broken through the Ice Phoenix Sword Constitution's suppression of desires and emotions, causing her to experience an explosive surge of feelings.
Everyone believed that emotions were poison to the Ice Phoenix Sword Constitution. Because of this, possessors of the Ice Phoenix Sword Constitution had always maintained an icy, unfeeling demeanor since ancient times.
But in reality, that was not the case.
While channeling her cultivation to suppress her emotions, Li Moran discovered that the Ice Phoenix Sword Constitution actually grew stronger as the emotions dissipated!
It was just that, generally speaking, under the unique nature of the Ice Phoenix Sword Constitution, its possessors almost never experienced strong emotional fluctuations. Therefore, throughout history, no one had ever achieved such a breakthrough.
So, saying that all of this was thanks to Lu Ze wasn't exactly wrong.
"I knew it... Senior Sister Li does look different today."
Lu Ze nodded repeatedly, looking at Li Moran with a smile.
Normally, Li Moran was like a snow lotus on a high peak; her eyes were like frost, exuding a coldness that kept strangers at bay.
But right now, Li Moran's eyes flickered with an indescribable glimmer, like flowing water. Somehow, she actually gave off a hint of a young girl's charm.
"Oh?"
Li Moran raised an eyebrow, the corners of her lips pursing slightly.
Thinking that Lu Ze had noticed the profound changes in her Ice Phoenix Sword Constitution, she couldn't help but hold him in even higher regard.
"How am I different?"
"Compared to before... uh, you seem more human?"
"..."
As soon as Lu Ze's words fell, a terrifying burst of frosty spiritual energy condensed once again.
A full one hundred and twenty-eight Profound Ice longswords appeared behind Li Moran.
"Cough, cough! Senior Sister Li, you misunderstood what I meant... I was saying..."
"Senior Sister Li, please put away your divine ability first, let's..."
"Master, save me!!!"
...
Half a quarter of an hour later.
"Senior Sister Li... could you promise me one thing?"
Lu Ze wiped the ice fragments from his forehead and let out a helpless sigh.
"Tell me first."
Li Moran revealed a rare, beautiful smile.
Giving Lu Ze a light beating had put her in an excellent mood.
"Starting tomorrow, I'll be recuperating from my injuries for a while. If anyone asks, please just tell them that you taught me a very severe lesson..."
Lu Ze quickly explained.
Thinking about how the person who had come to settle scores today was Li Moran, he felt somewhat fortunate.
Even if he couldn't beat her, she wouldn't be completely ruthless.
What if it had been someone else, especially someone he couldn't defeat?
Putting everything else aside, if he ended up provoking a big shot on the level of Qin Ming later on, he would definitely be in for a brutal beating.
Therefore, Lu Ze felt it was necessary to spin this incident properly. He wanted the big shots to think that someone had already done the work of beating him up for them, so they wouldn't need to make a trip over here themselves...
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
