Fairy, don't let your golden finger chase after me!

Chapter 30: You really only think about yourself! Miss Fox Demon!

After being defeated by Dong Mo, Gu Ziyue continued to challenge Dong Mo to several more rounds of combat. As expected, she was killed instantly by Dong Mo with a single sword strike in each round.

After all, compared to Xiao Hongchen's self-created Sword-Breaking Style, which was said to be able to break all sword techniques in the world, and Dong Mo's double pupils that could see through all flaws, Gu Ziyue's sword moves were still too immature...

"Miss Ziyue, you've lost."

"You attacked from behind! That doesn't count! Let's try again!"

……

"Miss Ziyue, you've lost again..."

"Again!"

……

"After feeding you so many times, you should realize the difference between you and me by now, right?"

"Enough with the nonsense! You were just guessing! It was a coincidence!"

……

"Miss Ziyue, please stop."

"Shut up! Again!"

……

Xiao Bai stood aside, watching Gu Ziyue being instantly killed by his young master's sword time and time again, yet she gritted her teeth and got up from the ground to continue the challenge. He couldn't help but smirk to himself.

Sigh~ The relationship between this fox spirit lady and the young master is getting better and better with each fight.

But for some reason, watching the two of them bickering and arguing like a pair of bickering lovers...

Xiao Bai felt inexplicably empty inside.

After fighting like this more than twenty times, Dong Mo, who was annoyed to no end by Gu Ziyue, completely lost his patience.

Then he deliberately created an opening, pretending that Gu Ziyue had knocked the Purple Nether Sword out of his hand, and shrugged, looking helpless.

"Ah~ I lost. Miss Ziyue is too amazing, I'm no match for her at all."

After Dong Mo finished reading the text without any emotion, he turned around and greeted Xiao Bai behind him.

"Xiao Bai, pack your things, we need to continue our journey."

Seeing that Dong Mo was being so perfunctory with her, Gu Ziyue, feeling both embarrassed and angry, instantly lost her temper.

"Ahhh... Xiao Mo!"

Gu Ziyue pounced on Dong Mo like a hungry tiger, baring her teeth and claws. Her two long legs wrapped around Dong Mo's neck at an incredible angle, and her hands forcefully twisted Dong Mo's arms backward.

He used a naked armbar to forcefully restrain Dong Mo, the movements were smooth and seamless, leaving Xiao Bai, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.

"That didn't count! You deliberately let me win! I'm going to beat you fair and square! I don't need your charity! Get serious!"

Although Gu Ziyue's thighs felt wonderful to the touch, they were far from pleasant to Dong Mo when they became a guillotine clamped between his head and his thighs.

"I...I can't breathe..."

"Croak! Dong Bai, come save me!"

Upon hearing Dong Mo's cry for help, Xiao Bai, who had been standing there in a daze, suddenly snapped out of it and rushed forward. He grabbed Dong Mo and Gu Ziyue, one in each hand, and forcibly separated them, as if he were pulling two fighting kittens off each other.

Even as Xiao Bai lifted her up by the back of her collar, Gu Ziyue was still breathing heavily on Dong Mo.

At this moment, compared to a fox demon, she was more like an old hag named Hajime who should have been born to be Dass.

Dong Mo straightened his disheveled collar and said irritably.

"I'm saying... we've been playing for so long, don't you ever get tired?"

Gu Ziyue retorted angrily, "I will absolutely not give up until I defeat you!"

"Well, you have to consider the timing, right?" Dong Mo rolled his eyes at Gu Ziyue with a look of disdain.

"We're in a secret realm now! We've lingered here for so long, if we don't leave soon, the labyrinth's spatial structure and paths will change again!"

Gu Ziyue pursed her lips, gripped Dong Mo's sleeve, and then murmured in an almost pleading tone.

"Just one last time! Just one last time... I'll do anything if you'll play with me just one more time!"

Dong Mo looked down at her and sighed helplessly, "How much determination did you have to say something like that? 'I'll do it no matter what'..."

"Can you really bear the weight and consequences of saying such things?"

After speaking, Dong Mo paused, raised his hand, and lightly tapped Gu Ziyue's forehead.

"As expected, you're only thinking about yourself."

Even if you don't think about yourself, could you at least think about others a little?

"I'm really exhausted after playing with you for so long."

"Besides, aside from that first time when I obtained a treasure from you that only existed in your promise and hasn't been fulfilled yet, what benefit have I gained from these subsequent competitions?"

"If you really want someone to do you a favor, you should at least show enough sincerity, right?"

Gu Ziyue was taken aback by what Dong Mo said, and her grip on his sleeve loosened slightly.

Seeing that things were going well, Dong Mo was about to turn around and slip away.

But Gu Ziyue's next words made Dong Mo stop in his tracks instantly.

"I...I'm willing to wager the Xihe Sword, please fight me one more time!"

Dong Mo slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the high-grade magic weapon sword in Gu Ziyue's hand. The Xihe Sword was a standard magic weapon awarded by the Southern Wilderness Demon Clan royal family to outstanding members of the royal family, and it was also the best low-grade magic weapon sword to use in the early stages of the game.

If left outside, it would be worth at least several thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Looking at the Xihe Sword in Gu Ziyue's hand, it would be impossible for Dong Mo not to be envious!

After all, he had been borrowing the Purple Nether Sword from Xiao Bai during battles all this time, which made him feel rather embarrassed...

However, the next second, the Purple Nether Sword suddenly started flashing across the panel in front of him.

[Purple Nether Sword: Ahhh—Master! Don't agree to her request! Quickly reject her! You only need me! Those alluring swordswomen outside, how can they compare to even a fraction of my beauty?]

Reject her! Reject her! Reject her...

……

Then, like a resentful woman, the Purple Nether Sword flooded the system panel with "Reject her." The resentful red characters cascaded down like a waterfall, densely packed and layered, making Dong Mo's scalp tingle.

"Sorry, I don't need any spirit swords right now."

Dong Mo swallowed hard and refused Gu Ziyue with righteous indignation.

"Besides, I really don't like that sword you're holding. You can keep it for yourself."

[Purple Nether Sword: My master truly loves me the most~]

[Ding! Purple Nether Sword, Affection +1]

Dong Mo ignored the pop-up message about the Purple Nether Sword and instead spoke to Gu Ziyue in a tone used to coax a child.

"If you really want to compete with me, then let's wait until we've conquered the secret realm!"

"Besides, we're not at our peak right now."

"So, at this point, a friendly spar, whether we win or lose, doesn't mean much. How about we wait until we've both fully recovered before we spar?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ziyue's stubborn purple eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes. I am not at my peak strength right now, and the power of my bloodline is temporarily dormant, so I can't unleash my true strength at all.

Therefore, competing under such circumstances cannot demonstrate one's true strength.

Moreover, this blond guy isn't at his peak either, so even if I win, it wouldn't be a fair victory!

So I should wait until I'm fully recovered before defeating him fair and square; that would be the real victory.

As Gu Ziyue thought of this, the gloom in her heart was swept away, and the fist that was clenching Dong Mo's clothes slowly loosened, and a confident smile reappeared on her face.

"Hmph... Since you've put it that way, let's hurry up and get going, and conquer the secret realm as soon as possible!"

Dong Mo and Xiao Bai exchanged a glance and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Captain."

Dong Mo drew out his words and made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Ziyue raised her chin, took a step forward, and decisively walked to the front of the line. After a few steps, she turned back, stretched out her index finger, and tapped Dong Mo's nose from a distance.

"Oh, right! You'd better keep your promise to fight me after we leave the secret realm!"

"Hmm... okay, okay, I'll keep my promise."

Dong Mo readily agreed, but in his heart he was already planning how to slip away as soon as he left the secret realm.

On the other hand, Gu Ziyue, after receiving Dong Mo's permission, gave Dong Mo a deep look.

Recalling the competition just now, Dong Mo's seemingly ordinary and chaotic sword moves were actually able to see through all of her sword techniques time and time again.

That sword technique seemed to have no rules or structure, yet it was able to pinpoint every weakness in my hand.

Although Gu Ziyue refused to admit it, she had already begun to change her opinion of the sword technique that she had once looked down upon.

Just then, a new notification popped up in front of Dong Mo's eyes.

Because of your actions, Gu Ziyue's opinion of the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique has changed, and its favorability towards the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique has greatly increased.

Current progress: 29%

[Reward: Tranquil Mind Sword Technique, Level 2, Great Perfection.]

[Tranquil Sword Technique: I...I'm not happy at all because you just stood up for me!]

Seeing this, Dong Mo's lips curled up slightly. He had finally cultivated the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique to the second level of perfection, and was ready to break through to the third level at any time. As long as he succeeded in breaking through, he could unlock new moves of the Tranquil Mind True Understanding.

At that time, I will have a new trump card!
