"You vile woman..."

"Heavenly Gang Seal!"

Expressionless.

As the saying goes, the more pink you wear, the harder you hit.

Don't be fooled by Cen Yueyue's lively and cute demeanor in front of Jiang Feng, acting mischievously; that's just in front of the one she loves. She even tries to show her gentle and considerate side to her man.

Jiang Feng calls her the Southern Border Demoness, and she just pouts and then playfully punches him twice. Neither of them takes it to heart because they know it's just a joke.

But if anyone else dares to call her that...

"Brother Wu, after this calamity, your disposition has changed quite a bit. Daring to say such things in front of her; I wouldn't dare provoke this tigress. You're quite bold, tsk tsk."

A sudden turn of the head!

Dark eyes stared straight at someone, with what seemed like flames burning in the pupils. Just a glance was enough to feel the scorching heat to the soul, causing immediate discomfort, followed by a cough to cover the awkwardness, then quickly changing the topic.

"I say, Yue Yue, could you go a little easier on me?"

"Ten Thousand Gu Devour Soul, Xu Huoyao, go."

With hair fluttering and momentum soaring, although she was a woman, the sheer pressure even made Jiang Feng somewhat fearful. The last time they met, she was still fighting fiercely with Cen Yueyue; one engulfing fire to swallow the sky, the other splitting space — it was a truly shocking scene.

Even now with his increased prowess, facing this Southern Border Saintess, he wasn't overly confident.

"Though I know your strength is extraordinary, and ordinary Nascent Soul-level experts would probably be battered before you, we've at least met each other's parents."

"Golden brilliance revealed, spirit mirror raised, shadow flames emerge, Jade Radiance's three pins heed my command!"

"Earlier, when that world-flipping seal hit me, it almost broke my bones. If I hadn't recently swindled some opportunities from the sect, a few months ago I would probably have spat out several mouthfuls of blood..."

Thunk—

The golden hairpin pierced through the flesh.

Though called a hairpin, it was not a traditional sharp weapon but more like a blunt instrument. Each golden hairpin slammed down like a heavy hammer, layer upon layer of strength stacking, while the surrounding dark Gang Qi shielded against Cen Yueyue's Magic Treasure.

What appeared to be three was actually a unified force. Delicate jade fingers flickered in the air, slightly spread, seemingly constantly manipulating techniques; upon finding a flaw, immediately clenching mightily, launching all three golden pins with focused precision, breaking defenses and bursting forth at once.

Hard as iron, the arm burst open with a grotesque wound, appearing ghastly and terrifying. It wasn't caused by sharp injury but the overwhelming pressure that the flesh couldn't bear, exploding from inside out, and that nearly half-foot-length gash was frightening just to look at.

"This attempt of yours to frame your husband must be properly criticized; I've been signaling you, just a hint would have sufficed. This body truly can't withstand such torment. Oh, but your Xu Huoyao is quite useful; see, he's been deceived."

Lazily speaking jesting words.

Meanwhile, Cen Yueyue's Dao Skill manipulation never ceased, controlling three silver pins in one hand, myriad Gu Worms sprawling in another, while the Earth Evil Seal accumulated in hand. This series of flashy maneuvers left spectators slack-jawed; if any ancient cultivator from the Cultivation World witnessed it, they'd likely feel compelled to take her as a disciple.

Too dazzling, even Liu Tangxi remarked that placing Cen Yueyue in sword practice would be a waste of her talent.

This Southern Border Goddess likewise possessed Dao Heart Clarity, not simply a constitution but an inherent talent everyone is born with.

Some are born able to multitask, writing with one hand, drawing with another, while their mind thinks of play, all without conflict. They skip classes daily, never studying, only cramming two days before exams yet scoring top of their grade.

Others, on the other hand, need complete focus just to ensure proper calligraphy—even blind writing is out of their grasp, let alone multitasking. They can barely pass through rote memorization each day, let alone extrapolate knowledge. Her understanding and insight into Dao Skills rivals even Jiang Feng's.

But most of Cen Yueyue's thoughts weren't focused on this.

"Good Daoist Skill!"

Seeing the Earth Evil Seal clash with Wu Daoxu's Black Demon Claw, leaving Wu Daoxu entirely at a disadvantage, the person unreservedly praised Cen Yueyue, delivering a flattering remark.

No wait, a compliment.

"The Jade Radiance Palace's ultimate technique truly lives up to its name; just a few days ago, I heard Senior Sister mention Aunt Yun's world-flipping seal, saying once unleashed, it overturns the heavens and earth, even airing that it stands as the Central Plains' top seal..."

With a swagger, weaving tales of grandeur.

Though Cen Yueyue, engaged in battle, showed no change of expression, retaining that derisive look; observing her occasionally raised brow, somebody's flattery seemed somewhat effective, since Fairy Liu is her idol.

Struggling to fend off Cen Yueyue's assault, regardless of Wu Daoxu's foolishness or how Yin Soul impaired his rationality, it was apparent these two shared the same mindset.

But Jiang Feng possessed this infuriatingly unrepentant demeanor; the situation lay entirely within his control, even the blood spewing onto his clothes and reddening them started slowly receding. A closer look revealed it wasn't blood at all.

But Gu Worms spewing out.

Xu Huoyao's hue closely matched blood, and without careful scrutiny was difficult to distinguish in shade, explaining how he vomited blood nonstop while fleeing—any beast doing the same would have perished.
