Senior Sister, I miss you...

Li Guang's gaze locked dead onto Li Ting in the lake water.

"The Telepathy Art is truly an enviable divine ability..."

Li Ting's face grew gloomy. She glanced back at Li Guang, utterly clueless as to what he was plotting.

Although Zhao Feng had been the one fighting just moments ago, he had been using Li Ting's physical body. Consequently, Li Ting's physical condition was extremely poor as well.

Li Ting swam desperately toward the shore.

The moment she stepped onto the bank, she leaped forward and bolted toward the east at top speed.

The members of the Li family behind her were filled with confusion.

"Why is the eldest miss fleeing toward the east??"

"Indeed! Indeed! We've already arrived!"

"Could she be going after those Japanese ninja?"

"That's possible!"

"Let's go! We should head over and take a look too! Today, I am going to slaughter those Japanese ninja without leaving a single piece of armor intact!"

Boom! Boom!!

A burst of true Qi erupted from the group as they prepared to chase after Li Ting.

However, Li Guang raised his right hand.

The crowd looked at Li Guang with puzzled expressions.

"Young Master Li Guang, what is it??"

"Yeah!"

Li Guang said indifferently, "The Japanese ninja are scattering in all directions; you all go after those scattered ninja! My cousin must have gone after the Onmyoji!"

"Those Onmyoji are too powerful, you'll just be walking to your deaths if you go! I will pursue them!"

"Then my cousin and I will await the arrival of the Dragon Kingdom's God of War Team!"

The crowd trusted Li Guang's words implicitly.

Nodding, the members of the Li family scattered in all directions.

Li Guang stroked his chin, a glint of conspiracy shining deep within his eyes.

"To think Li Ting managed to survive in the hands of the Hunter Venerable, how on earth did she pull that off??"

Li Guang took a step forward, his feet treading lightly upon the water's surface.

"Boom! Boom!"

He broke into a powerful run, chasing in the direction Li Ting had taken.

The bright moon hung high.

Tonight, there was a massive, full moon.

The full moon sat low, seeming almost to touch the horizon. It resembled a glowing lamp.

"Swish, swish, swish!!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"

Li Ting leaped swiftly through the forest, her face etched with anxiety.

"Zhao Feng! What's wrong? Why do I feel like your condition is extremely poor?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Zhao Feng coughed a few times and said, "Naturally, I pushed my Yang Spirit to its absolute limit today, suffering the wounds of the Great Dao! Otherwise, why wouldn't I have wiped out those Japanese scum!"

Li Ting's expression turned icy. "What should we do then??"

Zhao Feng shook his head. "I don't know, keep heading east!"

"But..."

Whoosh!!

A frantic sound of breaking wind rang out.

Thud!

An arrow embedded itself directly in front of Li Ting.

"Ah!"

Li Ting gasped in alarm and hurriedly leaped aside.

A sinister voice chimed in, "My dear cousin, what are you in such a rush for??"

Li Ting's face darkened as she coldly stared at the figure.

The figure was none other than Li Guang.

At this moment, Li Guang's body was shrouded in shadows.

Rustle!

He took a step forward, his foot crushing the green grass and producing a rustling sound.

And Li Ting finally managed to clearly see that face.

It was a pale face.

Li Guang looked at Li Ting with a sinister grin. "Dear cousin, what's the big rush??"

Li Ting's pretty face was frost-cold. "Hmph! I possess the Telepathy Art; I know what you're thinking!"

"Never did I imagine that you would actually collude with Japanese ninja and Onmyoji to steal the Dragon Kingdom's dragon vein!"

"We are descendants of Empress Wu Zetian, and you have utterly disgraced our Li family!"

"Heh heh heh!" Li Guang let out a sinister laugh. "Stealing the dragon vein is merely a smokescreen! My true objective is your heart!"

Li Ting's pretty face grew even gloomier.

With a countenance as cold as frost, she said, "There is only one heart. If I give it to you, how am I supposed to live??"

Li Guang smiled coldly. "Hmph! The Japanese Onmyoji told me that your heart is special. Once I transplant your heart, I too will possess the Telepathy Art!"

A wave of relief washed over Li Ting internally.

"It seems he doesn't know I have two hearts!"

In truth, prior to meeting Zhao Feng, even Li Ting herself had been unaware that she possessed two hearts.

Li Ting offered a cold chuckle. "Utter nonsense! I have never heard of anyone gaining divine abilities through a heart transplant!"

"Hmph!" Li Guang sneered coldly. "True or not, I must try it!"

Li Ting mocked, "For the sake of a mere Telepathy Art, you disregard our family ties? And the mission of the descendants of Empress Wu Zetian?"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Guang threw his head back and laughed. "Family ties, the mission of the descendants of Empress Wu Zetian—all of that is illusory! Only power is the eternal foundation!"

Li Ting bit her red lips and fell silent.

Li Guang looked at Li Ting coldly. "Before I kill you, you need to answer me a question!"

Li Ting remained silent.

"Tell me, how did you escape from the hands of the Hunter?"

Li Ting cast a disdainful glance at Li Guang. "You are not worthy to know!"

"Heh heh heh!" Li Guang gave a sinister chuckle. "Very well! Once I transplant your heart, I shall give you mine, so that we may blend as one water and milk—you within me, and me within you."

"I won't let you die! I will imprison you by my side, and then, whatever thoughts cross your mind, I shall know them all!"

Hearing Li Guang's words, Li Ting felt a sudden chill. She had never imagined that her cousin could be so utterly perverted.

Not only did he desire her heart, but it seemed he also harbored twisted intentions toward her as a person.

Li Ting slowly raised the dagger in her hand. "Today, either you die, or I do!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Guang burst into laughter. "Within the Li family, I am hailed as the most talented. Do you truly believe you can defeat me?"

Li Ting bit her red lips without uttering a word.

Li Guang slowly retrieved the longbow slung across his back and drew an arrow. "Today, let me witness how the eldest miss, hailed as a genius, manages to run for her life!"

"If it weren't for you, I would be the one rightfully called a genius!!"

Seeming consumed by fury, Li Guang pulled the bowstring taut and loosed an arrow in an instant.

Li Ting leaped aside, dodging the projectile.

However, the moment her body was airborne, another arrow came hurtling toward her.

Clang!

Li Ting raised her glowing red dagger to parry.

Yet.

Swish, swish, swish!

Three more arrows streaked through the air.

Clang, clang, clang!

Li Ting had no choice but to raise her dagger in defense.

The impacts of the dagger produced a series of metallic clashes accompanied by bursts of sparks.

Thud!!

Li Ting's feet slammed onto the ground.

Li Guang chuckled softly. "Not bad at all, you've improved!"

Li Ting's face was gloomy, her expression tinged with anxiety.

For right now, the condition of Zhao Feng's Yang Spirit was growing steadily worse. Li Ting could sense that Zhao Feng's Yang Spirit was hovering on the very brink of unconsciousness.

"Zhao Feng! Hold on!"

Li Ting shouted inwardly, causing Zhao Feng's Yang Spirit to snap back to a degree of clarity.

Even so, Zhao Feng's current state was deeply abnormal. He seemed...

He seemed...

He seemed somewhat desolate and dispirited...

"Sigh!"

Zhao Feng let out a faint, lingering sigh.

"Zhao Feng, what is wrong!" Li Ting asked.

Gazing at the full moon in the sky, Zhao Feng murmured softly, "I miss my Senior Sister. I remember the day before the great upheaval at the Medicine Ultimate Sect, the full moon looked just like this..."

"Senior Sister, I miss you. I wish I could just drift off to sleep right here..."
