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

Li Zimo stood up slowly, with an imperceptible heaviness in his steps, but his eyes were full of tenderness and determination.

He walked towards Lu Xueqing and Lu Xiaodie, and they also looked at him tenderly.

Then, he opened his arms gently and embraced Lu Xueqing and Lu Xiaodie.

This hug, without words, is worth a thousand words.

They hugged him tightly, as if they wanted to engrave the warmth and support of this moment in their hearts forever.

In this hug, time seemed to freeze, and everything around became blurry and distant.

Only the heartbeats of the three of them could be clearly heard in the quiet air.

They snuggled up to each other, sharing this rare intimacy and peace.

After a long time, Li Zimo slowly spoke, his voice low and gentle:

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning."

These words were like a gentle breeze across the lake, light but enough to create ripples in everyone's heart. Lu Xueqing and Lu Xiaodie's bodies trembled slightly, but they didn't loosen their arms, only holding Li Zimo tighter.

"we know."

The two women's voices were as soft as mosquitoes, but extremely firm.

Lu Xueqing and Lu Xiaodie's eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in their eyes but did not fall.

They know that this separation may be for a better reunion, or it may be inevitable in their respective life paths.

Li Zimo's eyes couldn't help but become moist, but he tried hard to control his emotions, not wanting to make the atmosphere of parting even heavier.

He walked forward gently and gave Lu Xueqing and Lu Xiaodie a warm hug respectively.

In this hug, they felt each other's warmth and heartbeat, and also felt the emotional bond that could be understood without words.

"Take good care of yourself."

Li Zimo whispered in Lu Xueqing's ear, his voice full of concern and reluctance.

"You too."

Lu Xueqing's voice was a little choked, but she still tried to force a smile to respond to Li Zimo.

Then, Li Zimo turned to Lu Xiaodie, gave her a warm hug, and whispered in her ear:

"Xiaodie, practice well."

Lu Xiaodie couldn't help but shed tears, but she nodded vigorously, indicating that she would work hard to move forward.

After a long time, Li Zimo bent down, picked up Lu Xiaodie, and walked towards Lu Xiaodie's boudoir.

Lu Xueqing knew that Li Zimo was leaving tomorrow, so she followed him with a blushing face, adding a bit of warmth and shyness to the scene.

Inside the boudoir, the lights flickered, illuminating the warm scene of three people sleeping in each other's arms.

As the night deepened, Lu Xueqing and Lu Xiaodie gradually fell asleep in the company of Li Zimo, with happy smiles on their faces.

Li Zimo looked at the two people sleeping lazily with tenderness. Thinking that they would be going to Zhongzhou in less than a year, he suddenly felt the urgency of time.

Time passed quietly and Li Zimo slowly fell asleep.

......

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds and onto the busy streets of Linyuan City.

Li Zimo walked into the bustling market with a heavy heart.

His goal was clear - to prepare a special gift for the woman he was about to part with.

After wandering around the market, Li Zimo finally found a reputable magic weapon shop.

Without hesitation, he spent 20,000 spirit stones to buy 20 communication jade slips for ultra-long-distance communication.

These jade slips are not only well-made, but also able to transmit information across thousands of mountains and rivers. For them who are about to go their separate ways, they are undoubtedly the best means of communication.

After making the selection, Li Zimo gave one to each of the five women, Lin Yue, Lu Xueqing, Lu Xiaodie, Liu Wanying and Su Qingrou, so that they could contact him if they had any problems.

After completing all this, Li Zimo did not linger for too long.

He came to Lin Xiumei's courtyard with ease and gently knocked on the familiar door.

Soon, Lin Xiumei opened the door and looked at Li Zimo standing outside with surprise.

She walked out of the room quickly, as if she was afraid that this was just an illusion, and threw herself into Li Zimo's arms, saying happily:

"Brother Zimo, you're finally back! Will you go out again this time?"

Li Zimo smiled, gently stroked Lin Xiumei's hair, and said softly:

"Well, I have to leave in three days."

Hearing this answer, a hint of loss flashed across Lin Xiumei's eyes, but she quickly regained her smile, unwilling to let sadness spread during this brief time together.

She broke free from Li Zimo's embrace, took his hand and said:

"Brother Zimo, please come in. I'll cook for you."

Li Zimo nodded and followed Lin Xiumei into the courtyard.

As the courtyard door closed gently, the two seemed to enter a world that belonged only to them.

Li Zimo hugged Lin Xiumei in his arms and kissed her small red lips affectionately.

Lin Xiumei also closed her eyes, put her arms around Li Zimo's neck, and responded to the kiss gently.

After a long time, the two reluctantly separated, breathing slightly.

Lin Xiumei blushed and said, "Brother Zimo, take a rest first. I'll go cook for you."

Li Zimo smiled and nodded, watching Lin Xiumei turn around and walk into the kitchen to get busy.

He secretly decided in his heart to do something for Lin Xiumei.

So, he began to get busy in the courtyard, setting up a defensive magic circle and a spirit gathering magic circle.

He knew that Lin Xiumei's cultivation had been stagnant for many years, and her strength was only at the third level of martial arts apprentice, which was too weak in the cultivation world.

Although these magic arrays cannot change her fate, they can at least protect her to a certain extent and make her path of cultivation smoother.

Lin Xiumei was busy in the kitchen, and from time to time she would stick her head out to look at Li Zimo.

When she saw Li Zimo setting up a magic circle in the courtyard, her eyes flashed with emotion.

Soon, the aroma of food filled the entire courtyard.

After Li Zimo set up the formation, he walked to the kitchen door and looked at Lin Xiumei's busy figure. His heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.

He knew that no matter where he went, Lin Xiumei would always be the softest part of his heart and his eternal concern.

He quietly walked behind her, gently put his arms around her slender and soft waist, and rested his head lightly on her shoulder.

Lin Xiumei paused slightly with the spatula in her hand, and then her voice, slightly smiling, came:

"Brother Zimo, I'm still cooking."

Li Zimo chuckled, his voice full of doting:

"I won't delay you, Sister Xiumei."

He gently picked up her slender little hand and slowly put an exquisite storage ring on her finger.

"Sister Xiumei, here are some spirit stones and cultivation pills, as well as instructions for using the spirit gathering array and defense array outside. Remember to practice well and don't be reluctant to use them."

Li Zimo's words were full of care and expectation.

Lin Xiumei looked at the storage ring in her hand in surprise, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes:

"Ah, a storage ring! Brother Zimo, this is very expensive, don't waste your money."

Li Zimo smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness:

"I think it's worth spending money on you."

A warm feeling welled up in Lin Xiumei's heart, and she looked at Li Zimo with emotion:

"Brother Zimo, you are so nice."

Li Zimo blinked and smiled mysteriously:

"There's something better behind. Take a look inside the storage ring."

Lin Xiumei felt the storage ring with doubt, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face:

"Brother Zimo, why did you give me 10,000 spirit stones and so many pills? Sichun and I can't use so many."

Li Zimo chuckled and shook his head: "If you can't use it all, just use it slowly. You deserve the best. Besides, after I leave, these will also make your cultivation smoother."

Lin Xiumei's eyes were slightly red, and she held Li Zimo's hand tightly:

"Brother Zimo, you are so kind to me. I really don't know how to repay you."

Li Zimo gently patted the back of Lin Xiumei's hand, his voice low and gentle:

"Sister Xiumei, there's no need to talk about repayment between us. If you really want to show your appreciation, why not try on the clothes in your storage ring for me tonight? That would be your small reward."

Lin Xiumei looked down at the storage ring, which contained several uniquely designed, slightly sexy pieces of clothing. Her face instantly flushed.

"Brother Zimo, why...why did you buy all this? I...how can I have the nerve to wear them?"

Li Zimo chuckled and leaned close to her ear, whispering:

"Sister Xiumei, how can you know if it fits if you don't try it on? If you don't know how to put it on, I can help you."

Lin Xiumei blushed crimson with shame at his words, and almost shrank into his arms, saying coquettishly:

"You...you, my enemy, you only know how to bully me. How come you become so mean after going out for a while?"

Li Zimo gently scratched the tip of her nose, his eyes full of pampering: "Sister Xiumei, do you like it?"

Although Lin Xiumei was shy, her eyes sparkled with happiness: "I like...I like it."

Afterwards, Li Zimo gently supported Lin Xiumei, asked her to bend her waist slightly, and support herself with her hands on the stove.

This sudden action made Lin Xiumei look back at him in surprise:

"Brother Zimo, what are you doing..."

Li Zimo winked at her, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, then he gently lifted the hem of her skirt and wrapped it around her waist.

Although this action was a bit playful, it was also full of affection and care for Lin Xiumei.

Lin Xiumei's face turned even redder, and her voice was as small as a mosquito:

"Brother Zimo, you...you don't want to eat?"

Li Zimo chuckled, hugged her gently, and said softly:

"Of course I will eat it, but before that, I want to taste your 'flavor' first."

As he spoke, he gently grasped Lin Xiumei's slender and soft waist, his eyes full of love.

Lin Xiumei whispered, "But there's still food cooking in the pot?"

There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, as if she was acting coquettishly towards Li Zimo.

Li Zimo smiled slightly, with love flashing in his eyes:

"Sister Xiumei, the food will be just as delicious even if it's cold. There's no need to rush."

"what......"

Lin Xiumei's face flushed, and she whispered softly, as if humming a melodious little song:

"You...you little rascal...I see you...you haven't even thought about eating..."

Li Zimo gently held her waist and whispered in her ear:

"Sister Xiumei still understands my feelings best..."

Lin Xiumei didn't say anything more, but just continued to hum the melodious tune, her voice full of happiness and sweetness.

The fire in the stove crackled, as if accompanying their sweet atmosphere.

However, Li Zimo waved his sleeves lightly, and the flame in the stove went out quietly. The whole kitchen suddenly became quiet, with only Lin Xiumei's melodious singing echoing.

The sweet days passed by quickly like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, the three-day period was up.

Under Lin Xiumei's gaze full of reluctance and attachment, Li Zimo slowly stepped out of the gate of the courtyard and set out on the road to Yinyue Town.

His back gradually walked away in the morning light, and every step seemed to carry his deep longing and reluctance for Lin Xiumei.

Lin Xiumei stood at the door, her hands tightly clasped, her eyes following him closely until his figure completely disappeared from her sight. Then she slowly turned around and returned to the courtyard full of memories of the two of them.

......

In the evening, when the setting sun was as red as blood and dyed Yinyue Town with a layer of golden glow, Li Zimo finally returned to this place that had been haunting him.

He crossed the street with ease and came to Qimengxuan and Lingcaoxuan, and handed the ultra-long-distance communication jade slips to Liu Rumei, Yu Kexin and Yu Linglong respectively.

This gift not only represents the deep friendship between them, but also indicates that they will be able to maintain close contact in the future no matter how far apart they are.

Afterwards, Li Zimo returned to the courtyard exhausted but full of joy.

Wen Wan'er, Zhao Yanran and Xiao Ling had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Li Zimo returning, they all smiled sincerely.

Wen Wan'er became busy even faster, and soon a sumptuous dinner was placed on the table.

Sitting around the dining table, the four of them enjoyed this rare reunion time.

At the dinner table, Li Zimo once again handed the communication jade slip to Wen Wan'er, Zhao Yanran and Xiao Ling. Looking at the surprise and gratitude flashing in their eyes, his heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness.

He knew that this small gift had brought their hearts closer together.

After dinner, it was late at night and the sky was dotted with stars.

Wen Wan'er, Zhao Yanran and Xiao Ling each returned to the small building and began their journey of cultivation.

Li Zimo also sat quietly in the yard, looking at the starry sky, silently planning his future path in his heart.

Using the spiritual energy in the spirit stone to cultivate is still too uneconomical.

Although the spiritual energy in the spirit stone can be absorbed, most of it will be lost during the absorption process, and only a small part can be refined into one's own spiritual power.

Even though his skills and talents are top-notch, and he is already a warrior, he still needs to find a place with abundant spiritual energy, then hunt monsters, and directly use the monster crystal cores to practice. This is currently the fastest way to improve his strength.

Li Zimo sat in the yard, gazing at the bright starry sky, his heart filled with infinite longing and planning for the future.

He knew that while relying solely on spirit stones for cultivation had yielded some progress, it was far from optimal. The spiritual energy within the spirit stones was severely depleted during the transformation process, leaving much of it unusable. This led him to consider more efficient cultivation methods.

Combining his own top-level skills and talents, as well as the solid foundation of having entered the ranks of warriors, Li Zimo decided to find a more direct and effective path of cultivation - hunting monsters and absorbing the pure spiritual power in their crystal cores.

This method can not only quickly improve one's own strength, but also practice martial arts in actual combat and enhance adaptability.

The next morning, Li Zimo left a message for Wen Wan'er and the other girls, informing them of his whereabouts and plans so as not to worry them.

Afterwards, he went to the shop in town and carefully selected the spirit gathering array plate and the defense array plate.

The spirit gathering array disk can gather the surrounding spiritual energy and create a more favorable environment for cultivation; while the defense array disk can provide protection at critical moments to ensure safety.
