You are playing with fire!

Chen Xiang was merely joking and wasn't moving very fast, yet this time, Li Hanwei did not dodge.

She looked at him with a gentle smile.

Noticing this, Chen Xiang hesitated for a moment and prepared to halt.

Right at that instant, Li Hanwei leaned forward slightly, her twin jade peaks colliding squarely against Chen Xiang's hands.

Chen Xiang's eyes widened in sheer disbelief.

This time, he truly and genuinely experienced that exquisite sensation.

Just as he was about to gently knead, twist, stroke, and lightly strum them, Li Hanwei retreated and stepped back out of the grasp of his wicked claws!

"What the heck! Are you committing a foul with the ball? According to Volume 18, Page 36, Article 72, Line 144, Sentence 1 of the Mount Qiufeng Veteran Driver's Manual, confiscation!" Chen Xiang yelped in surprise, though his hands didn't stop moving.

With a flash of his figure, Chen Xiang appeared right in front of Li Hanwei, his wicked claws reaching out once more.

However, Li Hanwei's figure transformed into a wisp of green flame that dissipated into thin air, reappearing on the other side shortly after.

She looked at Chen Xiang with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Chen Xiang stared at her with wide eyes and exclaimed, "You've actually reached the Soul Formation stage? How is this possible? It's only been a few days!"

Li Hanwei didn't seem surprised that Chen Xiang had discerned her cultivation level. She sat down leisurely, poured a cup of tea, and said, "Actually, I could have broken through to the Soul Formation stage long ago, but in order to cultivate a secret technique, I deliberately suppressed my cultivation. Now that the technique is complete, I should have waited a couple more years before advancing, but the Li family is in crisis, and I cannot stand idly by."

"That's extraordinary as well, but even if you've reached the Soul Formation stage, you're still no match for your lord and master. So hand the ball over right now!" Chen Xiang sat down as well, speaking to Li Hanwei with a stern expression.

Li Hanwei smiled faintly and teased, "Originally, I had accepted my fate and was merely putting up a final struggle. But since you helped me out of a tight spot, I will honor my promise—though not right now. Getting a little reward is already generous enough of you, you little pervert."

"You're the pervert! Do you have any idea that you're playing with fire? If your lord and master gets heated, whether you can handle the consequences is another story!" Chen Xiang said through gritted teeth.

He was only trying to scare Li Hanwei and didn't actually intend to consummate things with her. After all, whether on Earth or in the realm of immortal cultivators, he was still a novice who placed great value on his first time. Flirting was fine, but he wouldn't go overboard; taking a few liberties was enough.

Li Hanwei glanced at him indifferently and left his question unanswered.

Instead, she said, "Alright, I figured you would come here, so I'm here to warn you. You should leave Liuxi City as soon as possible. Although you left no trace behind when you killed Luo Tianming, the Sky-Sealing Sect is, after all, one of the top sects on the continent. It would be troublesome if they happened to possess some tracking technique!"

Chen Xiang didn't mind her changing the subject and frowned slightly. "Don't worry, they won't be able to find me. However, there is one person who saw my face. It all depends on whether that person decides to expose me."

"Who?" Li Hanwei's expression turned grave upon hearing this.

Whenever Chen Xiang recalled that "cross-dressing big shot," he felt a bit awkward, but he still looked at Li Hanwei and teased, "That person's gender is unknown, but they wear women's clothing and are very pretty—though not as pretty as my little beauty here."

Li Hanwei ignored his flirtation and instead looked at him with a peculiar expression, asking, "You don't know whether they are male or female?"

Chen Xiang raised an eyebrow. "What? Could it be that you know who they are?"

"That person is the Lord of Liuxi City..." Li Hanwei said, looking at him with a beaming smile.

"What the hell..." Chen Xiang cursed softly, at a loss for words.

The Lord of Liuxi City is a cross-dressing big shot? How much is this piece of news worth? Am I about to get rich?

Frowning again, Chen Xiang muttered, "That's not right... I accidentally barged into his study and said I was looking for Luo Tianming. He even pointed the way for me, and in the end, he didn't lift a finger to stop me even after I killed Luo Tianming."

Li Hanwei smiled and explained, "It wasn't that the City Lord was helping you; rather, the Sky-Sealing Sect already had a grudge against him. There are plenty of people with grudges against the Sky-Sealing Sect anyway, so one more doesn't make a difference to him. But he remembers things well—he was more than happy to see you go make trouble for the Sky-Sealing Sect."

Chen Xiang nodded in sudden realization.

No wonder when he claimed to be Luo Tianming's friend, the City Lord wouldn't let him see him, yet when he called himself an enemy, the City Lord personally pointed out the direction.

"There are so many layers to this. It seems matters in the cultivation world are truly complicated!" Chen Xiang muttered to himself.

"Heh, the cultivation world is just like this, and there are plenty of things far more complicated than this. Sometimes, I truly wish I could be like ordinary mortals—as long as a family has enough to eat, stays warm, and remains free of disasters and illness, they can live out their lives in peace," Li Hanwei said with a sigh.

"So, what are your next moves?" Chen Xiang asked again.

Li Hanwei pondered for a moment before replying, "The ones who came to my Li family this time are Luo Tianming's father and grandfather. Now that Luo Tianming is dead, they will certainly devote a portion of their energy to hunting down the killer, and my Li family must find a countermeasure during this period."

Chen Xiang nodded, then sighed. "Sigh, how long before I can properly discipline Li Youyuan?"

Li Hanwei did not answer.

Although she also disliked Li Youyuan for betrothing her to Luo Tianming, he was still the head of the Li family, and it was improper for her to discuss him behind his back.

"Forget it. Once I finish taking care of a certain matter, I'll leave this place and venture out into the world. When my strength improves, I'll come back and teach him a lesson. Go back and tell him not to die too early; I'll be back in a year or two," Chen Xiang said standing up with a heroic demeanor.

Li Hanwei frowned slightly and asked, "You're still planning to stay in Liuxi City? It's very dangerous for you here. What other business do you have? Do you need my help?"

"No need, it's a simple matter, it just takes time." Chen Xiang shook his head, declining Li Hanwei's kind offer. Suddenly, his expression stirred, and he asked, "Did you make a move against those six families?"

Without hiding it, Li Hanwei nodded and said, "It was me. I simply gave that guest elder of the Wang family a warning."

Chen Xiang smiled slightly. "Well done. For that alone, I'll flip your token for an extra day in the future."

Completely failing to understand, Li Hanwei asked with a puzzled expression, "What does that mean?"

"Haha, nothing. Since everything is fine, my little beauty, I'll take my leave first. You can think of me, but don't pine away to the point of falling ill and resort to handling things yourself!" Chen Xiang stood up and teased Li Hanwei.

Seeing his expression, Li Hanwei lost all desire to speak further. Lowering her gaze, she simply chose to pretend she hadn't heard anything.

Chen Xiang didn't mind either, waving his hand to remove the barriers around the room.

Not daring to use the front door, he cast an invisibility spell, leaped out through the window, and flew toward the Xiao residence.

It wasn't until he reached the gates of the Xiao estate that Chen Xiang dropped down into a small alley, lifted his invisibility, and stepped inside.

The moment he entered, he ran into a pageboy who initially looked anxious. Upon seeing Chen Xiang, the boy's face lit up with joy as he hurried over and said, "Young Master Chu, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for ages! Hurry, hurry, the mistress is looking for you!"
