At this moment.
Ji Hanhan's heart was in a panic.
Touching a girl's tail in public was the act of a scoundrel. He considered himself a good youth of integrity, so how could he have done such a thing?
He was flustered and quickly let go of Tu Shan Shushu's tail, but his body was still honest, and he couldn't help but give it one last stroke before releasing it.
"Ah..."
Tu Shan Shushu went limp all over and couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
She felt as if Ji Mo's hand contained an unimaginable magic, and an indescribable power flowed into her tail, constantly circulating within her.
Her cultivation, which had been stuck at a bottleneck for hundreds of years, actually loosened at this very moment.
The sudden turn of events made Tu Shan Shushu feel weak. Her body went limp, and she directly fell into Ji Mo's arms, while her raised hand happened to hook around Ji Mo's neck.
Their bodies immediately stuck together tightly.
Tu Shan Shushu's movement was like actively throwing herself into his embrace.
At this moment, the sunlight was just right.
Tu Shan Shushu's invisibility had been removed, and her body was revealed.
The warm, gentle sunlight fell upon them, and the green grass reflected the beautiful figures of the two leaning closely together.
This scene made several Qing Qiu female disciples, who yearned for love, extremely envious.
Then, when they saw Tu Shan Shushu's profile, they were stunned.
Wasn't this person always pure and chaste? How could she be in love?
At this time.
Both Ji Mo and Tu Shan Shushu were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Tu Shan Shushu's face was full of astonishment. Her cultivation had encountered a bottleneck, and she hadn't made any progress for nearly a thousand years. Now, after being touched on the tail by a stranger, the bottleneck had loosened. This was simply incredible.
Ji Hanhan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his heart beating a little faster.
Warm jade filled his embrace, a fragrant scent permeated the air, refreshing his mind and heart.
And this fox girl, who was as beautiful as a celestial being, with her arms around his neck, her eyes hazy, her delicate pink lips slightly parted, looking so cute and inviting, was simply too captivating.
Could this be an invitation for a hug, a kiss?
Ji Mo's mind suddenly recalled the system's past threat: "If a girl wants to kiss you in the future, you must take the initiative, or I will strike you dead!"
Thinking of this, his heart panicked. To avoid being struck dead, he immediately puckered his lips and kissed her cherry-like mouth.
Tu Shan Shushu's body stiffened, her pupils dilated, and her mind went blank.
Her first kiss was gone just like that?
Before she could even get angry, her blood and qi suddenly surged, her immortal power erupted, and her whole body felt like it was about to ignite.
The bottleneck that had been troubling her had, at this moment, completely disappeared.
"I'm about to break through!"
Tu Shan Shushu was extremely shocked. A kiss could break through a cultivation bottleneck? This was too exaggerated.
Could a thousand years of hard cultivation be worse than a kiss?
She couldn't think about anything else. She immediately concealed her figure, pushed Ji Mo away, and returned to the Tu Shan lineage territory at the fastest speed to focus on her breakthrough.
This matter was of great importance and could potentially cause turmoil throughout Qing Qiu. It was possible that the Chi Lian and Ju Mang families would make a move. Therefore, Tu Shan Shushu could no longer bother with the scoundrel Ji Mo and chose to leave immediately.
"We must be hallucinating. How could the head of Tu Shan kiss someone in public?"
Those female disciples rubbed their eyes. When they found Tu Shan Shushu had disappeared, they all thought they had seen an illusion.
After all, even if Tu Shan Shushu were to find a man, she would never choose an ordinary disciple from the Void Sword Sect.
Ji Mo smacked his lips, savoring the lingering fragrance, and smiled foolishly.
"I didn't intentionally take advantage; I was afraid of being struck by the unscrupulous system."
He explained himself this way, and his sense of guilt immediately lessened.
The system was speechless and wanted to curse. "Clearly, you pervert took advantage of the girl, why should I take the blame? Shameless."
Just then.
Exclamations rang out again.
The Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation had stirred again. The eleventh layer lit up, and Er Lengzi had successfully broken through again.
Next.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the twelfth and thirteenth layers also lit up successively, and Er Lengzi successfully passed through the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation.
Seeing Er Lengzi emerge from the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation completely unharmed, the entire venue fell silent.
"See? This is the strength of our Void Sword Sect."
Sima Hongfeng beamed with pride and took the opportunity to boast to the Seven-Tailed Sky Fox.
At the same time, he was extremely curious about what the Ancestor had passed down to Er Lengzi.
"You lost. Come and lick it."
Er Lengzi walked directly to Chi Mang, took off his shoes, and extended his foot, which smelled of dried fish, asking him to fulfill their previous bet.
The smell was so strong that the people around them covered their noses and retreated, unable to bear it.
Chi Mang was the closest and almost vomited his dinner. Licking this smelly foot was more unbearable than being dismembered.
"Cheating! You must have cheated."
Chi Mang refused to admit it. It was impossible for an inconspicuous disciple of the Void Sword Sect to pass thirteen layers of the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation.
Not only Chi Mang, but most of the other Qing Qiu disciples had the same thought and were unwilling to accept this result.
Almost no one from the Qing Qiu demon gates could pass the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation unscathed, yet a disciple from the Void Sword Sect had easily succeeded. If this got out, how would they save face?
"He couldn't have cheated."
Although the Seven-Tailed Sky Fox found it hard to accept, she still spoke a fair word.
Because they had already checked, Er Lengzi had no spatial treasures on him, so there was no way for him to cheat using external items.
But Chi Mang still didn't believe it and proposed that Er Lengzi go through the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation again, with him personally supervising.
"Then you can open your dog eyes wide and watch carefully whether I cheated or not."
Er Lengzi, too lazy to argue, entered the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation again.
Chi Mang followed closely behind Er Lengzi, and many Qing Qiu disciples also rushed in, wanting to join the fun.
Er Lengzi moved forward rapidly within the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation as if strolling through a courtyard. With the experience from the previous time, the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation no longer had any effect on him.
However, the Qing Qiu disciples couldn't bear it. They fell into various terrifying illusions, screaming in terror.
Some couldn't stand it and shouted to quit.
The Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation originally had a protective mechanism. As long as a disciple couldn't bear it and shouted to quit, they would be teleported out.
However, Chi Mang, in order to scheme against the Void Sword Sect, had tampered with the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation and disabled the protective mechanism, causing these disciples to be unable to get out.
Thus, terrible consequences ensued.
These disciples either became lost in illusions or their inner demons grew, leading them to kill each other.
Even Chi Mang was affected. For some reason, his crotch became wet; he was so scared that he peed himself.
The Seven-Tailed Sky Fox, realizing something was wrong, quickly stopped the Soul Enchanting Heart Refining Formation and rescued everyone. However, it was too late; the Qing Qiu disciples suffered heavy casualties.
Chi Mang, knowing he had caused trouble, was dejected. Being scared and wetting his pants made him extremely ashamed and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
But something even more devastating happened to him.
"Kid, don't think you can renege on the bet just because you peed your pants."
Er Lengzi stepped forward, took off his shoe, and with a sinister grin, shoved his smelly foot into Chi Mang's mouth.
