Those eyes lingered on Lappland, making her forget her surprise and feel inexplicably excited—if she cried, wouldn't she look even better after being soothed by the water?
This excitement didn't last long before Yun Yi's restless hand landed on Lappland's slender waist, lifting her up a bit.
Yun Yi used his other hand and arm to slide down behind her legs to the back of her knees, then tightened his muscles and lifted her up with one arm.
Or rather, Yun Yi let Lappland sit on his arm.
Lappland's vision suddenly shifted, and she leaned on Yun Yi's shoulder to steady herself, her expression unusually confused. "Huh? What are you doing?"
"Want me to bite you?" Yun Yi lifted Lappland's warm leg with one arm, lying through his teeth. "Hey, isn't it normal to hug her beforehand so you can bite her?"
"Listen to what you're saying." Lappland pressed down on Yun Yi's warm head to relieve his unbearable itch to punch him, lest he accidentally kill him with a few "bang bang" punches.
—Wouldn't that mean we have to do it again? Once is the limit for this kind of thing!
"Mmm, I'm going to bite!" Yun Yi chose not to reply, and raised his other hand to grab the hand that was pressing hard on his head.
Because of the semi-covering armor left on her hands and arms, both of them felt a strange sensation of cold hardness intertwined with warm softness.
The sensation was indescribably strange, a tingling, numbing sensation that coursed through her nerves and into her brain. Lappland instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but failed. She could only stop him, saying, "Wait, what are you doing!"
Yun Yi easily gripped Lappland, who was trying to slip away—the armor she left behind wasn't for nothing.
Then, repeating the answer he'd given countless times, he asked, "Bite?"
This time, Yun Yi didn't wait for the other person's reaction. After speaking, he grabbed the other person's hand, pulled their arm to his lips, and used the tip of his nose to push open their sleeve.
The contradictory fragrance, a blend of coldness and warmth, mixed with a slight hint of gunpowder, flooded into the nostrils. It was both pleasant and pungent. Yun Yi paused, his fingertips pausing. So natural—body scent?
Seriously? Has Lappland been marinated in gunpowder smoke? No wonder it's a war maniac.
Stereotypes +1 +1
Yun Yi was briefly distracted, but the movement in her hand brought her back to reality. Lappland's hand kept trying to break free from hers, and due to her superior skills, she actually managed to pull away a little.
Yun Yi knew that delay might lead to complications, so he decisively and urgently bit his arm.
Hard teeth struck the supple skin, and the moist tip of the tongue, propelled by the forward momentum, accidentally brushed against the smooth skin covered with a cool, pleasant scent.
The unexpected touch caused both of them to widen their eyes simultaneously.
Almost instantly, Lappland kicked Yun Yi away by stomping on his arm armor.
She landed backwards, clutching her cold arm, and glared at Yun Yi with a smirk, "You bit...s?i ball. 貳〔〣e〞r斯爸。"
Yun Yi recoiled as if electrocuted, letting Lappland kick him and retreat. He covered his mouth, his mind blank, and stammered, "No way! I, I didn't mean to lick you! I'm not a pervert!"
Volume Two: Fireworks at Dragon Gate - Chapter Ninety-Four: The Beginning of Metamorphosis
In Yunyi's mind, biting people specifically means playing around, going crazy, or being in love, while licking people specifically means being perverted or being in love.
If they weren't lovers and there was no love between them, wouldn't she become a pervert in Lappland's eyes?
—Swire's doesn't count. Kissing and licking are different. Kissing is only between lovers, while licking can be perverted.
Yun Yi was filled with regret, his mind filled with the thought that he should have known better than to be so mischievous and just given her a hug instead!
Or you can simply take a bite without being greedy for hugging.
Now she's in deep trouble; she's become an indelible pervert.
Yun Yi hung his head dejectedly and repeated, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to..."
"Tsk." Lappland could naturally tell that she wasn't doing it on purpose, nor was she a pervert.
But the unexpected result was also something that had happened before. Being suddenly licked felt so strange. She had no tolerance for such things, so she immediately made a demand: "Then cry for me."
"Cry?" Yun Yi looked confused.
Lappland crossed her arms. "Heh, since you feel bad about me, then grant my request."
"—Don't talk nonsense, you have to cry properly. If you dare to mess with me again, I don't mind using your head as a target for a whole day."
"I tricked you before..." Yun Yi was immediately drawn to this point. "How come I don't remember?"
“…Don’t go off on a tangent, stop crying.” Lappland turned her head away. It would be strange if she remembered. The charm of subjective judgment lies in the fact that the subject being judged doesn’t even know that such a thing exists.
"Uh, crying...is this how it is?" Yun Yi, whose only emotion was frustration, tried to make a twitching, pained face. It was more like he was trying to be funny than to cry.
Switching from crying naturally to crying in a controlled manner is like switching from an automatic to a manual transmission. Some people can easily control the gears, while others freeze up as soon as they try, unable to distinguish between the brakes and the accelerator.
Yun Yi is neither the latter nor a drama queen; he simply cannot cry.
Realizing this, she decisively conjured a horse-slaying sword, took two steps back while holding it upside down, raised her arm and pointed the sword at Lappland, her brows furrowed and her eyes filled with fighting spirit, "Come on!"
Forget about crying, let's fight!
Lappland instinctively raised his knife, scoffed "slippery," and suddenly twisted the blade with a flick of his wrist, launching himself forward like lightning, the tip of his knife aimed straight at Yun Yi's throat.
Yun Yi quickly raised his sword to block, then kicked up the blade, twisted it with both hands, and aimed the blade at Lappland, slashing it upwards.
Lappland deftly used the blades as leverage to flip over, dodging Yun Yi's attack. In mid-air, she swung her black and white twin blades, which resembled needles, in succession, unleashing five swirling blade beams that slashed down at Yun Yi's head.
As Yun Yi ran and dodged, she used the hardness of her sword derived from the armor to slash through two paths. Just as she was preparing to retaliate against Lappland, who was about to land, a notification that she had been waiting for suddenly popped up in front of her.
[Heartbeat detection complete... Final score: 470.1]
many!
Yun Yi was overjoyed and immediately invested all his points into the training field—the more he invested at once, the better the effect.
The instant the system silently popped up a notification, Yun Yi's mind suddenly became hundreds of times clearer.
Lappland's landing technique of using her legs to absorb force, the point of force when lifting the knife with her knuckles, the unknown substance covering the knife shimmering in the air with her breath... everything was slowed down to be clearly visible and traceable.
As Yun Yi gripped the horse-slaying saber, the basic swordsmanship techniques lurking in her subconscious seemed to come alive and leaped into her thought process—dragging the saber in pursuit!
With the simplest and most decisive step, and the most efficient path of force exertion, Yun Yi unleashed a strike that concentrated his essence, energy, and spirit.
Lappland swiftly slashed with her sword, momentarily interrupting Yun Yi's sword strike, and seized the opportunity to spun around and dodge.
The next instant, the undiminished blade struck the sand, releasing all the wind pressure that had condensed on it, scattering large swaths of golden sand and creating a crack tens of meters long.
Neither of them had time to pay attention; after a brief exchange of glances, they were locked in combat once more.
Amidst the flashing blades, Yun Yi's swordsmanship became increasingly skillful. His movements, though seemingly simple, were precise and extremely threatening.
But that's not all. Lappland is not only a master in combat skills, but also incredibly mobile and strategic.
She always managed to bypass Yunyi from unexpected angles, reducing her defenses and causing her substantial harm.
Yun Yi is fragile, and often when Lappland strikes her unexpectedly, her health bar drops to zero, she disappears on the spot, and she is forced to revive near the anchor point not far away, only to be dragged into a new round of fighting by the excited Lappland.
This refers to her stamina repeatedly resetting to zero, which Lappland thoroughly enjoyed.
It sounds like torture, but Yun Yi actually enjoys it just as much.
With the training ground's incredible effects, Yun Yi became more and more proficient and addicted to the game. Because she died so quickly without any pain, the repeated deaths actually taught her to stay calm when wielding her sword and to be vigilant about her surroundings when she lost sight of the enemy.
Yunyi's rapid progress, like a rocket ascending to heaven, made it increasingly difficult for Lapland to launch successful attacks.
In the long cycle of death and resurrection, Yun Yi gradually became more and more trapped.
At first, she was powerless against Lappland's cold blade and died instantly. It was only after countless cycles of being reset and resurrected that she was able to successfully counterattack and injure Lappland.
Yun Yi only snapped out of her daze at this moment. She stared at Lappland's brow, where she had drawn blood and was slowly dripping blood, and was instantly stunned. She felt that everything she had just experienced was extremely unreal—how could she be so crazy? And how did she hurt the other person?
Across from her, Lappland casually wiped the blood splattered on her face and laughed heartily, "Great! Let me trample you even more! Hahaha!"
Before she could finish speaking, she impatiently drew her knife and charged forward. Just as she was about to reach Yun Yi, a dense, bloody killing intent suddenly erupted from her body, and she swung her knife fiercely.
The gleam reflected from the blade illuminated Yun Yi's dazed eyes, startling her awake.
But at this moment, she had no time to use her sword or arm armor to block; dodging would only result in her being killed by Lappland's other sword, which was waiting for an opportunity.
Seeing that he was about to die again, Yunyi had a sudden inspiration in his anxiety and shouted at lightning speed, "Come be my daughter!"
The system's judgment barrage rapidly unfolded in the air, but even faster came Lappland's roar-accompanied thrust: "Die—!"
The needle-like tip of the knife pierced straight towards Yun Yi's throat.
Yun Yi's skin could not be pierced; the blade tip remained stuck in the indentation as always. Lappland's eyes flashed with fanatical fire—as long as the attack lasted for 0.2 seconds, Yun Yi would be considered to have taken damage, and once the damage from Lappland's attack was determined, it would reduce Yun Yi's stamina to zero.
But this time, Yun Yi reacted exceptionally quickly. She swiftly raised her elbow and deflected the knife.
[Stamina: 12/100]
Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter Ninety-Five Yun Yi: You brought this upon yourself... I really want to switch accounts and start over.
Yun Yi felt relieved as he stared at his still-recovering stamina. The stinging pain that he should have felt the moment the knife pierced him instead erupted at that moment.
"Ugh—" She painfully raised her hand to cover her throat, trying to relieve the sharp pain, but it was futile since she was not actually injured and the pain did not lessen at all.
She gasped for breath, trying to suppress the pain, but a tearing sensation surged in her throat and spread rapidly, instantly overwhelming all her thoughts.
It felt like an absolute zero icy fog was spreading through her body, freezing and numbing all her nerve endings one by one.
Yun Yi's whole body stiffened, and his mind went completely blank.
In a daze, she saw Lappland's beautiful yet bloodthirsty smile, saw her loose silver-gray hair brushing against the hilt of her sword, saw her gleaming blade lightly slicing across her neck—and then her vision plunged into boundless darkness.
When Yun Yi opened his eyes again, all the pain in his body had disappeared, but the lingering fear in his heart remained deeply rooted.
She shook her head dazedly and found herself back at the familiar anchor point—the place she knew best after countless resurrections.
"Ah..." Yun Yi belatedly covered his neck, which was still throbbing with pain.
She couldn't help but recall the stinging pain she had just experienced—it was, in a strict sense, her first time facing the pain of her body being cut apart and the near-death experience since her rebirth.
Her body inflicted double the pain without reservation, but her emotions seemed to float beneath the ice, visible yet intangible, a stark contrast to her previous life when she was dying, where she felt numb and her emotions exploded.
This felt foreign to her and a sense of skepticism arose in her heart.
Is all of this real? Or is it really not just a dream she had?
While Yun Yi was lost in his own existential questions, Lappland had already sped over from the other side of her death point to this side.
She noticed immediately that Yun Yi's attention had wandered, but instead of getting angry or giving him a warning, she simply suppressed her aura.
Lappland slithered along the ground at lightning speed, silently covering the last stretch of distance before suddenly thrusting her blade upwards, this time aiming for Yun Yi's throat.
Yun Yi's instinctive premonition and the intuition she gained from repeated battles resonated at the same moment, and she immediately came to her senses.
With just one glance, Yun Yi, who had developed the ability to quickly assess situations, swiftly understood the current situation—another attack from Lappland.
She instantly conjured a horse-slaying sword.
However, this time the sword was not the elegant one she was used to, but a new style that was extremely broad and thick.
It appeared out of thin air and the tip of the blade stuck into the sand. The heavy blade blocked Yun Yi's way, and the wide enough blade completely blocked Lappland's sudden stab and the path of her second quick attack.
Before Lappland could thrust out his other longsword, Yun Yi gripped the hilt with both hands, one above the other, and with a deep breath, pulled out the saber and swept it horizontally.
The broad blade of the saber sliced through the air, creating a shockwave that carried astonishing power as it slashed toward Lappland's waist with a speed disproportionate to the blade's size.
They actually had a trick up their sleeve?
Lappland's pupils dilated, then she let out an exaggerated, sinister grin. "Try to resist me!"
As she said, this time Lappland did not avoid Yun Yi's sharp edge and counterattack as usual, but instead raised a black and a white pair of swords at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, invisible waves and dazzling light gathered into a flowing mass between the blades.
Lappland's swing was no longer casual and relaxed, but rather a full-force effort as she flung out the white energy ball emanating a terrifying aura from between her blades.
This is also a situation that has never occurred before. Should we draw our swords to block or trade blows?
Yun Yi hesitated for a moment, just about to block back, when the white ball suddenly accelerated as it completely broke free from the blade. Just as her center was wide open, it crashed into her arms, causing her vision to go black.
Got killed again.
Yun Yi opened his eyes again and felt that he was just worrying for nothing. Who would dream of being so miserable and weak?
If that's true, then he should be so angry he should wake up by now!
Yun Yi glanced at the tiny amount of time remaining in the training field, which further confirmed his belief in the reality he was in—the logic was too clear!
Seeing Yun Yi "refresh" again, Lappland stood still, a new flowing white shadow condensing between the raised blades.
Yun Yi quickly raised his hand to stop him, "Stop, stop, stop!"
"Reason?" Lappland raised an eyebrow. They agreed to fight until they were satisfied, but it hasn't been long.
“It’s been almost an hour. I won’t be able to improve this quickly anymore, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up with the new abilities you’ve brought out.”
