Fang Xiaoyu laughed so hard she bent over, her laughter filled with triumph and mockery of Wan Lei.

Wan Lei was stunned by her smiling face.

That frown, that smile,

Was so captivating,

So intoxicating...

Bullshit.

What the hell am I intoxicated by?

Tch, I almost fell for this妖女's (yaonü - seductress) sorcery. Good thing I, Wan Lei, have an iron will, or I would have fallen for her trick.

Hmph, how could I, the dignified Thunder God, fall for your charm?

Seductress, give it up.

"Stop laughing, give me the Wielding Sword River (挥剑成河, Hui Jian Cheng He) now."

"You want it?"

Fang Xiaoyu finally stopped laughing, looking at Wan Lei triumphantly.

This expression had never appeared on her face before.

Looking at her, Wan Lei knew that she wasn't going back on her word, but rather trying to save face and avenge herself for being teased by him.

"Beg me."

Sure enough.

Young Master Lei wanted to slap himself now. Why did he have to be so mouthy? Now, his comeuppance had arrived.

What goes around comes around.

"How...how should I beg?"

"Beg me in that tone, with those words you used earlier."

"I forgot."

Young Master Lei looked like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

"You forgot? Okay, I'll teach you."

As Fang Xiaoyu spoke, she imitated Young Master Lei's affected, saccharine tone.

"Oh, Lei-gege (雷哥哥 - older brother Lei)~ This one wants it~"

A smile tugged at the corner of Wan Lei's lips, and he winked at Fang Xiaoyu.

Fang Xiaoyu's smile vanished instantly when she saw Wan Lei's expression.

She'd been had.

"Hahahaha, you still said it after all, hahaha, the number one beauty of the Central Domain, acting spoiled with me, calling me Lei-gege (雷哥哥 - older brother Lei), hahaha."

The arrogance of Wan Lei's laughter now was several times greater than Fang Xiaoyu's earlier laughter.

"Wan Lei!!!"

Fang Xiaoyu flew into a rage, swinging her delicate fist at Wan Lei.

"Oh ho, you dare hit me? Do you want me to spank you?

Hmm? What does the number one beauty of the Central Domain's butt feel like? Is it bouncy? I wonder if it's firm to the touch!"

As he spoke, Young Master Lei's eyes began to glance downward, his smile as lewd as could be.

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Watch me!"

The two of them wrestled together again.

Although they were fighting, they didn't use cultivation or magical powers. It looked more like a couple flirting.

This was a world that only belonged to them.

As for He Shiba and Li Lei, they were just background scenery, no need to pay them any attention.

"You're not getting the Wielding Sword River (挥剑成河, Hui Jian Cheng He)!"

That delicate shout startled Young Master Lei into stopping.

"Hey, we agreed to trade, don't go back on your word."

Young Master Lei shouted, sticking his neck out.

"Beg me."

"...I beg you."

"Your attitude isn't sincere."

"..."

"Say it in the tone you used earlier."

"Say what?"

"Follow me, say... Do you think I'll fall for your trick again?"

"Do you think I'll fall for your trick again?"

"Why are you copying me?"

"You told me to."

"...Damn it, change the subject to... Sister Xiaoyu (小雨姐姐, Xiaoyu Jiejie)!"

"Oh."

"Follow me, uh~"

"...Uh."

"Not uh, uh~

...

Damn it, do you even want it or not?"

"I want it."

"Then be good."

"Okay...okay."

"Sister Xiaoyu (小雨姐姐, Xiaoyu Jiejie)."

"Sister Xiaoyu (小雨姐姐, Xiaoyu Jiejie)."

"This one wants it, wants it."

"This one wants it, wants it."

Both of them spoke with stiff tones, like reciting lines without any emotion.

"嘤嘤嘤 (yīng yīng yīng)." (Onomatopoeia for whimpering)

"..."

"Say it."

Damn it, what the hell is 嘤嘤嘤 (yīng yīng yīng)?!

How could I say such an embarrassing thing?

While Young Master Lei was filled with shame and indignation, he forgot that he had asked Fang Xiaoyu to do the same thing.

Wasn't Fang Xiaoyu just as proud as him?

"Say it all together!"

I, Wan Lei, would jump down from here and die outside rather than say such an unspeakable...

Fang Xiaoyu shook the jade scroll in her hand.

Damn it, I've already lost face and given up my magical power. If I don't get something in return, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?

I can't let her take all the advantage.

"Si...Sister Xiaoyu (小雨姐姐, Xiaoyu Jiejie)! Th...This one...wants it...wants it, 嘤 (yīng)! 嘤 (yīng)! 嘤 (yīng)!"

Young Master Lei's voice was extremely rough, with no hint of coquetry. Every word was squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Your attitude isn't sincere. You're missing the 'uh' at the beginning. Do it again."

"Uh..."

"Not uh! Uh~ Pay attention to your tone and inflection."

"..."

This is too much.

This magical power? I don't want it.

Young Master Lei was filled with rage and opened his mouth to say,

"Uh~ Sister Xiaoyu (小雨姐姐, Xiaoyu Jiejie), this one wants it, wants it, 嘤嘤嘤 (yīng yīng yīng)..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Fang Xiaoyu's laughter was even more arrogant than before.

"Give it to me now!"

This is too embarrassing. After saying those words, Young Master Lei quickly looked around. Fortunately, no one saw.

"..." He Shiba.

"..." Li Lei.

Are we really just background scenery?

"Stop laughing, give it to me!"

"That 'Sister Xiaoyu (小雨姐姐, Xiaoyu Jiejie)' sounded so nice just now, say it again."

"...Don't go too far."

"Not too far, not too far. As long as you say it again, I'll give it to you right away. I promise."

"Okay, Si...Sister Xiaoyu (小雨姐姐, Xiaoyu Jiejie)!"

"Here, take it, hahahaha..."

Fang Xiaoyu threw the jade scroll to Wan Lei, then started laughing again, tears streaming down her face.

"Shameless, hmph."

Lei Niangniang (雷娘娘 - Lady Thunder) snorted coldly and began examining the jade scroll.

"Let's cultivate this magical power here. It'll give us another way to protect ourselves. The formation will probably take a day to shrink, that should be enough."

Fang Xiaoyu, who had laughed enough, said to Wan Lei.

Wan Lei nodded, and the two of them sat down cross-legged under a tree, starting to cultivate their respective magical powers.

There weren't originally any trees in the desert, but after a battle, there was now a tree called Wu Xun.

The two of them finally quieted down, and Li Lei and He Shiba, who had been eating melons on the sidelines until they were full, also came over and sat down quietly.

No one dared to provoke them.

This team had these two first-sequence cultivators,

And they were absolute powerhouses even among the first-sequence.

Outside the formation, there were millions of onlookers.

Most of these gazes were focused on Fang Xiaoyu and Wan Lei.

Shocking big news:

One, Fang Xiaoyu blushed.

Two, Fang Xiaoyu smiled.

Three, Fang Xiaoyu was flirting.

Four, all of the above were because of a man named Wan Lei.

Outside, the sounds of gossip and speculation were endless. Some people marveled at Wan Lei's ability to melt an iceberg, while others were secretly jealous of Wan Lei, wondering what he had to get her affections.

But more people were being led astray by a large number of female cultivators.

These female cultivators, watching Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu's series of actions, couldn't help but ship the Lei-Yu (雷雨 - Thunder-Rain) couple.

Among the millions of people, those who secretly loved Fang Xiaoyu were a minority among a minority. Most people still liked to eat melons (gossip).

These people also started to eat the big melon of the Lei-Yu (雷雨 - Thunder-Rain) couple.
