King of Hundred Victories Saber

However, only Liu Tingting herself knew that all of this was merely a carefully crafted facade; deep down, her only goal was to obtain Immortal Pills that could help her advance in the Immortal Realm. After bathing and changing, Liu Tingting walked out of the tent.

She took a deep breath, feeling the fresh morning air, and a trace of urgency and excitement flashed in her eyes.

Without hesitation, she drew her Ice Jade Sword, the blade shimmering with a frosty glow, exuding a chilly aura under the sun’s rays.

She invoked the ”Holy Water Divine Technique,” and a layer of purple radiance instantly enveloped her, like a mysterious halo.

Immediately after, she performed the ”Divine Water Swordsmanship,” her movements swift as lightning, the sword shadows multiplying.

The Ice Jade Sword in her hand traced graceful arcs through the air, each swing carrying powerful Sword Qi.

As she executed her sword techniques, the surrounding air was stirred, producing a ”whoosh” sound. Once the set of sword techniques was complete, Liu Tingting stood with her sword retracted, her eyes full of shock and ecstasy. She could clearly feel her power had increased a thousandfold.

Moreover, as she looked around, she discovered that within a hundred miles, the vibrantly blooming flowers and trees had all withered.

The flowers lost their vibrant colors and were wilting; the trees’ branches and leaves turned yellow and drooped lifelessly.

This desolate scene was testimony to her immense power.

Shi Feiyang, naturally stern-faced, rarely showed a smile, much like a millennial glacier.

However, as he stepped out of the tent and witnessed Liu Tingting performing the incredible, power-surging ”Divine Water Swordsmanship,” a slight smile unfurled on his stern features like the warm sun of a spring day, melting some of the chill around him.

He couldn’t help but applaud, the sound crisp and bright on the Penglai Immortal Island morning, sincerely celebrating Liu Tingting’s transformation.

Liu Tingting sheathed her sword, the Ice Jade Sword making a crisp ”click” as it entered the sheath, as if putting a period on the display of swordsmanship. She immediately turned around, eagerly reaching out to Shi Feiyang for the Immortal Pills, her eyes full of greed and urgency.

These Immortal Pills were her only hope for a meteoric rise in the Immortal Realm.

Shi Feiyang nodded slightly and reached into the mysterious and elusive deerskin pouch at his waist.

The deerskin pouch seemed ordinary but possessed magic power to conceal itself; previously, Liu Tingting searched painstakingly but couldn’t find it. Now, as Shi Feiyang reached into it, it appeared visible.

However, this visibility was only something Liu Tingting, this celestial being, could perceive.

Common mortals like Yang Xue’Er and Yili could not see it.

Shi Feiyang took out an Immortal Pill from within and handed it to Liu Tingting.

Liu Tingting’s gaze was fixed on the deerskin pouch at Shi Feiyang’s waist, eyes unblinking, as if she wanted to see through it, secretly contemplating in her heart, ”It’s really strange; I put in tremendous effort to search the entire tent but couldn’t find this deerskin pouch. Yet, when he reaches into it, I can see it clearly. Humph, it seems I must find an opportunity to sever his hand when he’s reaching for the pouch, so that this deer pouch full of Immortal Pills will be mine.”

This thought flashed in her mind, her eyes showing a faint but fierce intent.

She stretched out her hand, took the Immortal Pill, and swiftly put it into her cherry-like mouth, as if fearing someone would snatch it away.

Seeing Liu Tingting consume the Immortal Pill, Shi Feiyang also reached into the deerskin pouch again and took out another Immortal Pill, putting it into his own mouth.

Liu Tingting observed this and quickly said, ”Husband, haven’t you always been uninterested in immortality? Why are you eating Xu Fu’s Immortal Pills now? Surely, you could leave all these Immortal Pills for me?”

Her tone carried a hint of blame, but mostly dissatisfaction and questioning.

Shi Feiyang looked at Liu Tingting, still bearing a faint smile, and slowly said, ”My dear, if I let you have all the Immortal Pills, when your power far exceeds mine in the future, with your temperament, you might take my life on a whim someday. I’ve known you for years, and I know you too well.” His words carried a trace of helplessness, but also a deep understanding of Liu Tingting.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tingting’s face instantly turned ashen, and she glared angrily, shouting, ”Oh, Shi Feiyang, you claim to love me, but it’s all a lie! You’re a deceitful man, I loathe you!”

Before she finished her sentence, she suddenly tapped her feet, her form like a white lightning, floating onto a cloud in the sky.

Her figure was fleeting among the clouds, declaring her anger and determination to Shi Feiyang.

Just like that, she truly left in anger, ignoring Shi Feiyang altogether.

The night before, the two were as close as one could imagine, intimately connected.

But this morning, because of a few Immortal Pills, Liu Tingting instantly turned hostile, denying any familiarity, a change so swift it was astonishing.

Shi Feiyang gazed in the direction of Liu Tingting’s departure, the smile on his face gradually fading, replaced by endless melancholy and loss.

His eyes were full of loneliness. Liu Tingting’s beautiful visage continuously appeared in his mind; every smile and gesture were past memories.

He sighed inwardly, fully aware that Liu Tingting might never have harbored true affection for him, merely using him over and over.

Yet, despite this, he could never bring himself to let Liu Tingting go.
