In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

After a long time, Yan Ruyu slowly came back to her senses.

She raised her head, looked at Li Zimo's handsome profile, and asked in a trembling voice:

"You, you are actually a martial artist?"

"wrong!"

Li Zimo raised a smile and pointed to a towering mountain in the distance.

"Look at that mountain!"

Although Yan Ruyu was full of doubts, she still obediently looked in the direction of his finger.

Li Zimo moved his fingers slightly, and a sharp spiritual sword energy was instantly swung out. The mountain in the distance was actually cut off diagonally by the sword energy. Huge rocks rolled down, stirring up a cloud of dust. After a long time, the deafening roar was heard from afar.

Yan Ruyu widened her eyes and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

It took her a long time to raise her head tremblingly, looking at Li Zimo, with a hint of disbelief in her voice:

"So...did you do that?"

Li Zimo smiled slightly and nodded gently.

Yan Ruyu exclaimed:

"You just casually swung out a spiritual sword energy and cut off a mountain so far away?"

Li Zimo nodded again, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

Yan Ruyu looked at him with admiration on her face:

"You, how come you are so powerful?!"

Li Zimo smiled and said:

"Ruyu, do you know how powerful I am now?"

Yan Ruyu nodded frantically:

"Yeah, yeah, I know."

Li Zimo smiled slightly and said jokingly:

"Then am I not a gigolo?"

Yan Ruyu looked embarrassed, scratched her head sheepishly, and said with a smile:

"I misunderstood you. You're not a gigolo! Turns out you're a powerful... uh, old monster!"

At the end of her speech, she couldn't help laughing.

Li Zimo was quite happy to hear the first half of Yan Ruyu's praise, but as soon as the second half came out, his face suddenly fell, and he said with a mixture of laughter and tears:

"Ruyu, I'm really only eighteen years old this year, the same age as you. How can I be considered an old monster?"

Yan Ruyu widened her eyes and looked at him in surprise:

"No way? Then how come you're so powerful at only eighteen?"

Li Zimo shrugged and said proudly:

"Of course I'm gifted."

Yan Ruyu curled her lips, obviously not quite believing it:

"I don't believe it. You must be an old monster, trying to act young. I'm not as easily fooled as my mother!"

Li Zimo shook his head helplessly, took out an identity jade slip from his pocket, and handed it to Yan Ruyu:

"Take a look. This is the identity jade slip of the Shenwu Empire. It records my real age and identity. This can't be a fraud, right?"

Yan Ruyu took the identity jade slip, examined it carefully, and confirmed that it was as Li Zimo said.

But she still stubbornly said, "Li Zimo? Humph, they just look alike. You must have disguised yourself."

Li Zimo looked at her in surprise, and said with a smile:

"You little girl, you have made up your mind not to believe me, right?"

Yan Ruyu smiled triumphantly, with a cunning glint in her eyes:

"I'm very smart, don't try to fool me."

Li Zimo smiled helplessly and was about to give up explaining when he saw Yan Ruyu take out a white crystal ball from her arms and handed it to him:

"Try this. It won't fool you. You should know how to use it."

Li Zimo smiled as he looked at the familiar crystal ball. He knew exactly how to use it.

He gently held the crystal ball, and then a faint green light flowed across the surface of the sphere.

Li Zimo glanced at the green light and just smiled lightly, as if he didn't take it to heart. Then he handed the crystal ball to Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu's eyes were fixed on the light green, and a trace of pity arose in her heart.

She secretly speculated that the reason why this old monster, who looked young but was actually hundreds of years old, possessed such amazing strength was probably because he had spent countless time and efforts to build it up.

When Yan Ruyu thought that she was actually being held tightly in the arms of this old monster, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

After some inner struggle, Yan Ruyu finally calmed down, slowly took the crystal ball and began to examine it carefully.

After a while, a clear message came from the crystal ball:

"Eighteen years old, ninth level martial spirit, lower yellow grade talent!"

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but let out a light exclamation, then looked up at Li Zimo, her eyes full of disbelief:

"You...you are really eighteen?!"

Li Zimo rolled his eyes at her helplessly, with a hint of joking on his lips:

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago? It's you who just refused to believe it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu immediately put the crystal ball into her storage ring, then hugged Li Zimo's neck affectionately with a sweet smile on her face:

"Brother Zimo, don't be angry. I'm just too cautious. There's nothing I can do about it. It's my high IQ!"

Li Zimo looked at her playful appearance, patted Yan Ruyu's back gently, and said with a smile:

"Don't call me an old monster anymore?"

Yan Ruyu blinked and said playfully, "You're so young, how can I call you an old monster? Of course I call you brother! By the way, Brother Zimo, how did you cultivate your lower-grade yellow talent to the ninth level of martial spirit?"

Li Zimo smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of depth:

"Of course it depends on hard work."

Yan Ruyu pouted and said unconvincedly:

"You're lying. I've been practicing very hard, but why am I only at the fifth level of martial arts? I have a top-grade Xuan-level talent!"

Li Zimo shook his head slightly, a mysterious smile on his lips:

"Well, I can't tell you for now."

Yan Ruyu glared at him angrily.

At this time, Li Zimo held her gently and landed steadily in the Ten Thousand Mountains, with his feet on the ground.

He looked at Yan Ruyu and said gently, "Okay, Ruyu, come down."

Yan Ruyu turned her head away stubbornly: "I won't! Unless you tell me why you are so powerful!"

Li Zimo smiled helplessly and explained:

"I have hidden spiritual roots, and my spiritual veins are hidden. No matter how I investigate, I only have a low-grade yellow talent, but in fact, I am gifted."

Yan Ruyu turned her head curiously, her eyes gleaming: "Hidden spiritual roots?"

Li Zimo nodded: "Yes. You can come down now."

Yan Ruyu just giggled and stayed in Li Zimo's arms, refusing to get down:

"No, you have to tell the truth about how you got together with my mother."

Li Zimo was at a loss for words: "Can't you just ask your mother?"

Yan Ruyu blinked cunningly: "My mother is embarrassed to tell me. Just tell me, okay, Brother Zimo~"

Li Zimo smiled slightly and said, "You should just ask your mother directly."

Yan Ruyu pouted and said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Then I won't get down and will hold you the whole time."

Li Zimo smiled helplessly and touched her head lovingly:

"Okay, I give in. Isn't it okay for me to tell you?"

Yan Ruyu immediately looked up, her eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation:

"Then why don't you tell me now?"
