How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

It was uneven in color with the rest of its body, with a dent in the center.

And there seems to be a spirit stone embedded above it.

The statue was as hard as stone, impervious to blades and spears. It could be knocked down and then get up again in no time. Presumably, the spirit stone provided it with spiritual power, enabling it to fight continuously, like a war god.

"Yes." A smile flashed in Sheng Ning's eyes, and her tone became much lighter.

Upon learning the result, the two were overjoyed. Just thinking about the reward after clearing the level, Ye Yueyue felt that her internal injuries had been mostly healed.

With a goal in mind, everything became clear. Ye Yueyue swallowed another pill and tossed a bottle of spirit-replenishing pills to Sheng Ning as well, saying, "Senior Brother Sheng, catch!"

During a lull in the statue's attack, Sheng Ning caught the bottle of pills. He was initially puzzled, but after seeing what it was, a smile appeared in his eyes. "I have pills."

"No, this is to repay Senior Brother Sheng for saving us just now!"

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning's smile deepened. He didn't stop moving his hands for a moment, effortlessly exchanging blows with the statue, his longsword leaving a sharp edge wherever it went.

The blood-stained white clothes did not make him look disheveled; on the contrary, they made him look even more handsome.

Battle damage is terrible!

Besides, he was injured while protecting her, which made Ye Yueyue feel even more excited.

She watched with great enthusiasm, her body nimbly weaving through the battlefield, occasionally sneaking up behind the statue to try and destroy the array plate.

Suddenly, a loud commotion came from the side hall.

Ye Yueyue felt a pang of urgency when she thought of the two statues.

Quick, deadly strikes!

Sheng Ning heard it too, and worried that something might go wrong. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he tightened his movements.

Ignoring the pain in his shoulder, he displayed power in every move.

Even when injured, he was not at a disadvantage against a statue of a higher level.

Sheng Ning originally wanted to go around to the back to destroy the array plate, but the statue's cultivation level was higher than his, so he couldn't get away, otherwise the statue would attack Ye Yueyue.

As his gaze fell upon the girl's petite figure, the image of her vomiting blood flashed through his mind. Sheng Ning felt a chill run down his spine and decided to knock down the statue himself before attempting to destroy the array plate.

With this in mind, his methods became even more ruthless.

"Junior Sister Yue, be careful."

Seeing the girl nimbly weaving through the crowd, Sheng Ning gave her some words of advice after a difficult dodge, his eyes filled with obvious worry.

Just as he was speaking, holding his longsword and preparing to unleash another sword strike, the statue in front of him suddenly stopped and then slowly fell to the ground.

A loud boom was heard, and the ground trembled for a moment before stopping.

Without the massive body obscuring it, the girl's bright smiling face was revealed, and her lively eyes seemed to speak volumes. "Senior Brother Sheng, we defeated it!"

The girl held a glittering spirit stone in her pale hand, and shook it as it flew through the air in an arc.

The light from the spirit stone was dazzling beyond belief, but Sheng Ning felt it paled in comparison to what she saw.

"Ah."

His gaze fell on the girl's smiling face, and his heart stirred slightly.

Just as the two were about to rest and heal their injuries, there was another commotion coming from the side hall.

They exchanged a glance, both puzzled.

The commotion was gradually increasing when a slightly surprised voice came from behind.

"Little...Junior Sister Yue!"

Ye Yueyue looked up.

Ming Qiuyang looked at her with surprise, then frowned and said, "Don't come any closer. If you encounter any danger, crush the jade token and get out."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two statues following behind Ming Qiuyang, relentlessly pursuing him.

He nimbly darted about, and although the statue didn't hurt him, it was slightly disheveled, with some messy hair on its forehead. The boy glanced at her and then led her away again.

Ye Yueyue fell silent when she saw those two enormous creatures.

Bro, you're just taking advantage of your talent to outmaneuver two others, aren't you?

Are you playing Identity V here?

Sheng Ning immediately stepped forward, drew his sword, and relieved him of the pressure from one of the statues.

With one less goal, the pressure suddenly lessened.

Ming Qiuyang breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Sheng Ning, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Thanks."

Sheng Ning nodded slightly, without saying a word.

Ming Qiuyang held his head high, his face radiating confidence. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and every move he made exuded youthful vigor.

"Now it's my turn to fight back."

He immediately engaged in combat with it and stopped running.

Ming Qiuyang's moves were very direct. He charged forward with his sword, and instead of dodging the statue's attack, he met it head-on.

He was immediately chased by two fierce attackers and couldn't fight back. Ming Qiuyang was holding his breath, and the spirit beasts couldn't play any role in this level.

Because the statue seemed to have locked onto him, relentlessly pursuing him.

He thought he couldn't get past this level, but Ming Qiuyang was unwilling to stop there. In his anxiety, he heard a sound and, on impulse, headed towards the direction of the sound.

Sure enough, there was someone there, but when Ming Qiuyang saw Ye Yueyue, he felt both happy and conflicted. On one hand, he was happy to see her, but on the other hand, he was worried that he might bring her danger.

It turned out there were more than just the two of them on this floor, giving them hope of clearing the level.

Seeing that the two had already started fighting, Ye Yueyue hesitated for a moment before walking towards Ming Qiuyang, while turning back to call out to Sheng Ning, "Senior Brother Sheng, I'll be there to help you soon!"

"Okay, I'm fine. Be careful, Junior Sister Yue. There's no rush."

Sheng Ning spoke softly, her eyes softening slightly.

Upon hearing this, Ming Qiuyang paused, feeling inexplicably uneasy, a vague and sullen feeling in his heart.

But the battle was still raging, and the statue's fist was already hurtling towards him; he had no time to think about anything else.

Ming Qiuyang put aside his thoughts and focused his attention on the statue.

When Ye Yueyue came over to fight alongside him, his gaze swept over the girl's petite and exquisite figure, and a complex expression appeared in his eyes.

"No need to come over, I can manage on my own."

It wasn't that he didn't trust Ye Yueyue, he was just afraid of hurting her.

But the girl seemed to have misunderstood, and frowned as she said, "This level is not a trial for you alone."

"I……"

Her voice was filled with dissatisfaction. Ming Qiuyang wanted to explain but didn't know how to say it. There was more than one person around, so he paused after speaking.

"Stop talking, focus on fighting the enemy."

Ming Qiuyang didn't speak again, focusing on fighting the statue, but he always kept a portion of his attention on Ye Yueyue.

Each time the statue's fist came down, she dodged it at an extreme angle.

Ming Qiuyang couldn't help but feel worried for her.

I was even more nervous than when I was being chased by two statues.

He really wanted Ye Yueyue to stay to the side, but when he caught a glimpse of the girl's displeased face, Ming Qiuyang didn't dare to speak.

He was afraid she would be angry.

Whether in cultivation or in other aspects, Ming Qiuyang was always full of vigor and never hesitated to act.

But ever since he met Ye Yueyue, he has started to become unlike himself.

When it comes to matters concerning young girls, he always thinks about them again and again. Ming Qiuyang has never encountered such a difficult problem before.
